Study Notes
Steering Gear
- Responsible for controlling the direction of the ship
- Activated when the helmsman changes the ship's course
- A hydraulic system that uses fluid pressure to power the rudder
Steering Gear Telemotor Receiver
- Receives electrical signals from the Telemotor transmitter located on the bridge
- Sends signals to the steering gear actuators in the steering gear room
Boiler basics
- Heat water in the boiler drum, generating steam
- Steam drives the ship's main engine, propelling the vessel
Engine Room Flooding Response
- Delayed action during engine room flooding can lead to reduced effectiveness of damage control measures and increase the risk of further damage
- Compromises the ship's watertight integrity, potentially leading to instability and capsizing
Engine Room Flooding Training
- Must include procedures for activating the emergency bilge system and isolating flooded compartments
- Crew members must be trained on how to operate the engine room flooding response equipment
Unwanted Sea Water Ingress
- Can result in loss of stability, flooding, and potential capsizing
- Can lead to the short-circuiting of electrical systems and damage to machinery
Danger of Floating on Seawater
- Seawater is highly corrosive and can damage the ship's hull and machinery.
- Regular inspections, cleaning, and preventative measures are necessary to mitigate corrosion.
