Safety valves are critical components of marine boilers, designed to prevent over-pressurization that could lead to catastrophic failures. These valves automatically release steam if the pressure exceeds safe levels, thus […]
Introduction to Maritime Safety Marine safety is a critical aspect of the maritime industry, which encompasses all activities related to the navigation and operation of ships and other vessels. The […]
MARPOL Convention Annex VI, established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), sets limits on sulfur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from ship exhausts, as well as prohibits deliberate […]
Propulsion loss on ships, characterized by unexpected failure or reduction in the ship’s manoeuvrability due to propulsion system issues, presents significant challenges to maritime operations. This guide highlights the complexity and […]
Floods in a ship’s engine room can have severe consequences, compromising the vessel’s water-tight integrity and potentially leading to catastrophic outcomes. The engine room is a critical area of a […]
The engine room is the powerhouse of a ship, housing the main engine, generators, boilers, and other critical systems essential for propulsion and operations at sea. Its smooth functioning is […]
The Engineering Department’s role in maritime operations is of paramount importance, as it directly impacts the safety and efficiency of vessel handling. Engine cadets and students aspiring to become marine […]
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, MARPOL, is a key international marine environmental convention aimed at minimizing pollution of the oceans and seas from ships. This […]
Lubricating oil systems play a pivotal role in the effective operation and longevity of two-stroke marine diesel engines on ships. These systems help in reducing friction between moving parts, dissipating […]
Rankine Cycle and Its Improvement in Marine Systems The system shown in the below image illustrates a typical Rankine cycle setup used onboard some ships. This system can be configured […]
