  crash stop             When the ship is moving Full Ahead and Double ring Astern order is given from the Bridge, the Engine Room fuel lever is brought to stop. After the Engine's rpm drops to about 20% to 40% of Full Ahead rpm, air braking is commenced  i.e. the engine is reversed then an air kick is given, even though, while engine is still  in the ahead direction, due to the 'way' on the vessel. ( very important -  fuel will not released to the engine, during this Air brake, until the engine stops and actually turns in the Astern direction ).                 when the engine is on bridge,   the Officer on the Bridge has only to put the Telegraph to Emergency Full-Astern. The above sequence is automatically  carried out, without the Bridge officer having to operate any other controls. Note that Air Brake will only come into action, when the rpm has dropped to the required 20% - 40%, even when on Bridge control.

 Fire control safety plan Location:   Entrance of the ship both sides.   On bridge.   On Engine control Room.    Ship's office. (In side the red colour container ) It will contain the details of all fire fighting appliances and its location. Importance of located outside: Other fire fighter came to our vessel. they will easily find out the extract location of extinguishers and  emergency escape route. It contains: Fire detection and alarm system Springer installation Co2 nozzle installation Location of all extinguishers EEBD location Ventilation system Details and location of escape route Life craft life Jacket immersion suit location Total number of fire hoses and nozzles   

What is Emergency Generator, Location and It's Regulations? Emergency Generator: Back up Electrical System in the event of main power supply failure. Within 45 seconds emergency generator should start and give power to emergency source.  Location: Emergency generator with it's switchboard is located in a compartment outside the engine room above the uppermost continuous deck and not forward of the collision bulkhead. Regulations: It should be above longitudinal continuous deck. It shouldn't be forward of the collision bulkhead. compartment should be accessible from the open deck. It should be able to start at 0°C in cold weather. Heaters should be provided (for cold weather, JCW system must be treated with anti-freeze agent) Fuel flash point shouldn't below 43°C. Fuel tank capacity should be last long for 18 hours. Two starting medium must be available.  Each medium should be capable to give three starts consecutively in 30 minutes without charged.   It should be capabl

  INCLINING EXPERIMENT    WHAT IS INCLINING EXPERIMENT? The initial metacentric height is determined by inclining experiment. after the ship is fully build or major changes in structure must do inclining experiment. WHAT IS METACENTRIC HEIGHT? When a ship is heels by an angle the center of buoyancy and center of gravity will moves laterally. if we draw the imaginary vertical line from, the new center of buoyancy it will cut the original vertical line that point is called metacenter , The distance between center of gravity G and metacenter is called metacentric height, INCLINING EXPERIMENT    place the special tool name STABILOGRAPH, placed the tool in forward and aft of the ship, four masses are placed in the each two will placed port and aft sides,  masses should be placed away from the center line. masses should moved one by one to port sides from stbd side, now move the masses from stbd side to port side one by one , finely placed two masses each sides, all movement of masses should
