Study Notes
Safe Manning
- Regularly review safe manning to adapt to changes in operations and requirements.
- Minimum personnel required must be documented; non-compliance prohibits departure.
- Adding crew is acceptable if it meets safety requirements.
Maritime Organizations
- World Health Organization (WHO)
- International Maritime Organization (IMO)
- International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
- International Labor Organization (ILO)
- International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)
- Flag State is responsible for enforcing maritime regulations.
Purpose of Safe Manning
- Aims to maintain ship safety and security.
- Ensures enough crew for safe navigation and operational effectiveness.
- Minimizes the risk of accidents and injuries.
- Promotes effective management and operation of the ship.
Shipboard Organization
- A structured arrangement of personnel and their roles is essential for efficient ship operation.
- Certificates verify adequate manning with qualified personnel.
Key Ship Departments
- Master (Captain): Overall authority and responsibility for the vessel and crew.
- Chief Officer (First Mate): Assists the Master, oversees deck operations.
- Second Officer: Manages navigation and safety equipment.
- Third Officer: Handles watchkeeping and safety duties.
- Bosun (Boatswain): Supervises deck crew and maintenance tasks.
- Able Seaman (AB): Performs deck duties, assists officers.
- Ordinary Seaman (OS): Entry-level role assisting ABs.
Ship Construction
- Structural integrity is essential for a seaworthy ship that can endure the open sea.
Seaworthiness
- Defined as a ship's quality to be fit and safe for navigation.
- Must exhibit stability, strength, and durability against rough seas.
Ship's Pumps
- Fire Pump: Supplies water for firefighting systems.
- Ballast Pump: Adjusts weight distribution for stability.
- Cooling Water Pump: Regulates temperatures by circulating water.
- Sewage Pump: Handles wastewater from toilets and sinks.
- Fuel Oil Transfer Pump: Transfers fuel oil to engines for operation.
Valves on Board
- Primary purpose: Control flow and pressure in various systems.
- Types include:
- Fire Pump Valve: Initiates flow for firefighting applications.
- Pressure Relief Valve (PRV): Controls system pressure by releasing excess.
- Pinch Valve: Regulates flow for slurries and abrasive materials.
- Piston Valve: Opens or closes flow paths.
- Ball Valve: Offers rapid shut-off and modulating capabilities.
Deck Machineries
- Primary purpose involves assisting in the operation and maintenance of shipboard activities and cargo handling.
Safety Procedures
- Follow proper protocol when working alone on a ship.
- In case of spillage, secure the area and notify appropriate personnel.
- Address excessive noise from machinery immediately.
- Lockout/tagout procedures are crucial for maintaining safety during machinery maintenance.
- Avoid practices that may compromise safety onboard.
Plimsoll Mark
- Indicates a ship's loading limit; essential for determining how much cargo can be safely carried.
- Commonly located on the ship's hull.
- Must be within designated intervals to prevent overloading.
