Study Notes

Emergency Signals and Drills

The accepted emergency signal for evacuating crew and passengers to lifeboat muster stations is a prolonged blast of the ship's whistle or alarm system.
Emergency drills must be conducted on ships at least once every three months.
Regularly conducted emergency drills include:
- Fire drills
- Abandon ship drills
- Man overboard drills
- Emergency equipment drills

Engineering Watch Protocol

Before taking over the engineering watch, the relieving officer must be informed of:
- Status of machinery
- Fuel and lubricating oil levels
- Any maintenance or repairs needed
- Operational parameters and alarms
- Safety concerns or potential hazards

Examination and Scoring

The minimum passing score on the Certificate of Competency Examination is typically set at 70%.
Only non-programmable calculators may be used during this examination.
Any formulae utilized for exam questions must be clearly stated and explained.

Oil Discharge Regulation

The limit on oil discharge is set at 15 parts per million (ppm).
When bilges are pumped overboard using a non-automatic system, the Oil Record Book must record:
- Date and time of discharge
- Quantity of oil discharged
- Reason for discharge
- Operational status of the oil water separator

Oil Discharge Compliance

If the oil content in the discharge overboard exceeds the regulatory limit, discharge must be stopped immediately and recorded.

Oil Water Separation Issues

Conditions or faults that may interfere with oil water separation include:
- High viscosity of oil
- Temperature fluctuations
- Equipment malfunctions

Fuel Characteristics and Sampling

Closed flash point refers to the lowest temperature at which vapors can form above a liquid and ignite in the presence of an ignition source.
Diesel fuel oil can be stored at a maximum temperature of 60°C.
A representative fuel sample should be obtained to ensure quality and compliance with specifications.
Fuel oil samples should be retained onboard for a minimum of 12 months.
Tests to be carried out on a fuel sample before starting bunkering include:
- Viscosity test
- Flash point test

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis is a water purification process that removes contaminants from water by using pressure to force water molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
Components of a Reverse Osmosis system include:
- Pre-filter
- High-pressure pump
- Reverse osmosis membrane
- Post-filter

Vessel Structure Terminology

The term 'beam' refers to the width of the vessel at its widest point.
'Frame' describes the structural components providing shape and support within the hull of the vessel.
A 'girder' is a large horizontal beam that helps support the superstructure or deck of the vessel.
'Beam knee' is a connection element that supports the intersection of various structural components.
A 'stringer' refers to elongated structural members that strengthen the hull along its length.
