THE COMPLETE ENGINE ROOM ROUND
The most important duty of a watchkeeper is to carry out comprehensive and frequent engine room rounds. This is essential to ensure trouble free operation of all engine room machinery.
The activities to be included in machinery spaces rounds are to:
-walk around the whole engine room, from funnel to the funnel space for detecting any abnormities;
-check for and drain water from fuel oil settling and service tanks, and maintain a proper level and temperature;
43
- drain air bottles of water and maintain temperatures. Even systems fitted with automatic drain valves for air bottles should be manually drained at least watch;
-check the operating fluid levels of running and standby machinery and systems that have a sounding, pipes, sight glasses or a sounding stick, check for leaks and top them up if necessary. This includes:
-jacket water expansion tank level;
-air compressor oil level;
-refrigeration and air conditioning compressor oil and refrigerant level;
-main engine and auxiliary engines lubricating oil sump level;
-shaft bearing oil levels and temperatures;
-stern tube oil level;
-oil levels in the steering system;
-boiler water level;
-gland / seal / shaft cooling liquids on pumps;
-oil levels on purifiers;
-check bilge levels of all machinery spaces and transfer to holding tanks if necessary;
-check levels in all bilge and sludge holding tanks;
-check the emergency generator and make sure it is ready for starting, synchronising and paralleling into auto. Also check the emergency air compressor, if fitted;
-check all gauges to confirm that operating parameters are within the normal range. With any abnormal readings, first check the gauge to confirm that it is actually working;
-check and make sure that all escape routes are clear and well lit;
-check and make sure that all portable firefighting resources such as extinguishers, hydrants, fire hoses, hydrant keys and foam generators are in place, unobstructed and ready to be used;
-make sure that risk assessments and permits to work have been issued for any maintenance work.
An integral part of watchkeeping is to make sure that all operating fluids are kept at the required standard. This includes regularly testing the various properties of the fluids, such as fuel oil, lube oil, engine cooling water.
The tests that can be carried out on fuel oil on board include Viscosity, Flash point, Compatibility with other fuels, Water content. The tests on lubricating oils include Viscosity, Total Base Number (TBN), Water content, Spot test for soot and in-
44
soluble content. Samples from various systems can also be sent for testing at shorebased laboratories. The engine cooling water should be tested regularly for Chloride, Alkalinity and Hardness. If tests show the properties have changed, check the cooling water system to trace the cause. If the chloride content is increasing rapidly, seawater may be getting into the system via the various heat exchangers. Decreasing pH or increasing sulphate content may indicate contamination by exhaust gases from leaking engine cylinder cooling jackets.

2.Outgoing team briefs the incoming team on the engine room and machinery status using the log book and checklists.
3.Incoming team checks the records and clarifies any doubts.
