Study Notes

International Safety Management Code

  • The objectives of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code are to ensure safety at sea, prevent human injury or loss of life, and avoid damage to the environment and property.
  • The objectives of the ISM Code are achieved through a safety management system that includes company responsibilities, designation of personnel, and reporting.

Vessel Compliance

  • The minimum size of vessel required to comply with the ISM Code is 500 gross tons.

Voyage Planning

Fuel

  • Factors to consider when planning a voyage regarding fuel include distance, speed, cargo, and weather conditions.

Lubricating Oil

  • Factors to consider when planning a voyage regarding lubricating oil include type of oil, quantity required, and storage capacity.

Fresh Water

  • Factors to consider when planning a voyage regarding fresh water include quantity required, storage capacity, and method of producing fresh water.

Garbage Management

Annex V of MARPOL Convention

  • Three complementary techniques used to manage garbage according to Annex V of the MARPOL Convention are incineration, compacting, and storage.
  • Information to be entered in the Garbage Record Book when garbage is discharged into the sea includes date, time, position, and type of garbage.

Prohibited Disposal Areas

  • No garbage whatsoever can be disposed of overboard in the North Sea and Baltic Sea Special Area.

Prohibited Garbage

  • One form of garbage prohibited from disposal into the sea is plastic.

Fuel Contamination

Consequences

  • Three possible consequences of water contamination of marine diesel oil during bunkering are corrosion of fuel tanks and systems, damage to engines, and reduction in fuel efficiency.
  • Three possible consequences of water contamination of fuel by water on board a vessel are corrosion of fuel tanks and systems, damage to engines, and reduction in fuel efficiency.

Detection Tests

  • Two separate tests that would indicate the presence of water in marine diesel oil during bunkering are crackle test and centrifuge test.

Air Conditioning Systems

Humidity Control

  • If the air in an air conditioning system is too dry, humidity is controlled by adding moisture through a humidifier.
  • If the air in an air conditioning system is too wet, humidity is controlled by removing moisture through a dehumidifier.

Fire Protection

  • Fire protection between compartments in air trunking is achieved through the use of fire-resistive materials and fire dampers.

Air Supply Control

  • The supply of air into a compartment is controlled through the use of dampers and fans.

Overpressure Prevention

  • Overpressure of the air circuit is prevented through the use of pressure relief valves and sensors.

Fresh Water Production

  • The principles of reverse osmosis as a method of producing fresh water involve the use of a semi-permeable membrane to remove salt and impurities from seawater, resulting in fresh water.

Maritime Motions

  • The types of motion in maritime context are:
    • Roll: rotation around the longitudinal axis
    • Pitch: rotation around the transverse axis
    • Yaw: rotation around the vertical axis
    • Surge: movement in a forward or aft direction
    • Heave: movement in an upward or downward direction
