This provides a better understanding in the world of engineering. i. industrial attachments serves as a means for individuals to gain field knowledge of what is been taught in class. ii. Industrial attachments enable the individual in gaining occupational experience. 1.2 BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT THE TAKORADI PORT The construction of the Takoradi port began in the year 1921 and was completed and finally opened on the 3rd of April 1928 by Right honorable J.H. Thomas, P.C LLP, and MP. Secretary of the state for the colonies. The operations of the takoradi ports started on the 3rd of December 1928. 1.3 MISSION OF TAKORADI P0RT To provide efficient services to our customers in an environmentally sustainable way tp simulate growth in the economy and sub-regions. 1.4 AIM OF TAKORADI PORT Build, plan, develop, manage, operate and control all ports in Ghana. 1.5 DATE OF COMMENCEMENT OF ATTACHMENT I began the attachment on Monday, 11th October,2023. I continued to spend 7 to 8 more weeks at the Takoradi Habour learning about safety , pumps ,some components in ships and many more.. 1.6 REPORT ORGANIZATION This report is been divided into four main chapters each talking about what was been taught during my period of internship at the Ghana Ports and Habours Authority ,Takoradi branch. [Type text] CHAPTER 2 2.1 SAFETY PRACTICES Safe work practices are generally written methods or ways showing how to perform a task with minimum risk to people , equipment’s , materials , environment, and processes. safety practices are series of specific steps that guide an individual, that is the worker to work without losing neither of their body parts or getting injuries and also without losing their precious lives. This practices are mandatory in every company or every work place to prevent any accidents in the near future. These are some safety requirements which where been observed at the Takoradi port;  All individuals (workers) should put on all safety equipment’s such as goggles, wear aprons, gloves, helmets and ear plugs.  ALL workers should obey all safety signs.  Prohibition of horse play during working hours.  Do not perform any task without your supervisor’s concern.  All individuals should walk in the margin given to walk in. 2.2 PPE'S(PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS) These are equipment’s which are been worn to ensure that one is indeed from any surrounding dangers which may cause any harm to his or her physical health or mental health. Without wearing of any of these equipment’s the worker is been denied the opportunity of working. The following are some protective equipment’s worn at the port;  GLOVES: this equipment protect the hand from any chemical.  SAFETY BOOTS: this protects the foot for sharp objects and also protection against slipping.  APRON: it protects the body from radiations and chemicals.  GOGGLES: protects the eyes from sparks or dust particles.  HELMET: protects the head from any falling objects.  EAR PLUGS: protects the ear from excessive noise. [Type text]  SAFETY HARNESS: this equipment is used to support the body when working above the ground level.  RESPORATORS: this filters the air before you inhale it. Figure 2.2.1 Personal Protective Equipment’s 2.3 FIRE FIGHTING This deals with the extinguishing of fire. This is by extinguishing any of the components that causes fire. These three components are oxygen, fuel, and heat. You can extinguish the fire uses fire extinguishers, fire blanket etc. depending on the type of fire there is. [Type text] Figure 2.3.1 fire extinguisher 2.4 DEPARTMENT The Ghana Ports And Habours Authority (Takoradi) is been divided into many sections which enable quick and swift flow of work. I was been assigned at the shipyard department where under that section or department it is been divided into three subsections which are,  MECHANICAL  MARINE  MARINE TUGS 2.5 MAIN OPERATION The Takoradi port shipyard is a maintenance unit, which majors in maintaining vessels and servicing mechanical equipment’s. During my period of attachment at the port we made gasket from a material called the asbestos, also tried to fix the propeller shaft and many more which would be spoken of in this report. 2.6 TOOLS There are several mechanical tools and equipment’s which are been used at the port which are been used for the fixing and repair of parts of vessels and many other things. Some example of these tools are spanners( ring and combination spanners), ratchets, hammers, drillers, screw drivers, chipping hammers and many more tools. [Type text] Figure 2.6.1 tools CHAPTER3 AQUIRED KNOWLEDGE In this chapter we are going to talk about thing been taught during my period of internship at the Takoradi port. [Type text] 3.1 KNOWLEDDE AQUIRED AT THE MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT 3.1.1 DOCKS You can find these docks at the Takoradi port. The use of these docks are mainly used for the repair of vessels. You can find two types of docks at the Takoradi port and they are the dry dock and the slipway. i)DRY DOCK This dock is a dug hole in which has pumps , a seat called mount in which the vessels sit on and a gate. The gate prevents the sea water from getting into the dry dock after been closed and dried out by the pumps by a process called bleeding. 3.1.2 HOW THE DRY DOCK IS BEEN OPERATED This dock as said is a dug out which has gates which are operated by a system called the winch. This winches are located on both the left and right sides of the gate and is controlled by a remote controller in opening of the gates. Again this dock has valves which are located below the surface of the earth. These valves are known us foot valves. The purpose of these valves are to open and close the amount of water to get into the dock. Also there is a pump house located right behind the dock where some pumps are been connected to the dock for the removal of water from the dock. Inside the pump house are centrifugal pumps which are driven by their motors. There are also Tirfor jacks located side and side to the dock and last but not least a cup stand connected to huge ropes which helps pull the vessel into the dock. The tirfor jacks have ropes in them which are used to hold the vessel in place when in the dock to prevent the vessel from slipping from its mount. Before a vessel is been docked or DE docked the dock is been filled with water to get to the same level with the sea. to do this you open the foot valves and the filling takes about 6 hours to fill the dock with water. ii) SLIPWAY This is also a form of dock in which this kind has cradles. The cradles are like railway tracks where the mounts are been placed on the cradle the with the help of the winches slide into the sea to pick up the shipping vessel. This type of dock helps in the performing of blasting under the shipping vessel been docked. Figure 3.1.2.1 Slipway Dock [Type text] 3.1.3 SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DRY DOCK AND SLIPWAY 1. Dry docks are safer than the slipway docks. 2. Dry docks are used to repair more complex parts of a ship than that of a slipway dock 3.2 FENDERS These are very hard tires with metallic rods in it which are place around the edges of tug boats. This is been done to avoid creating scratches or damaging the surface of the ship. Figure 3.2.1 Fenders in from of a tug boat 3.3 VALVES These are used to control the passage of liquids. Some examples of valves at the Takoradi port are; 1. Automatic open valve (found at the pump house), 2. Ball valve, 3.Globe valve, 4.Foot valve, 5.Butterfly valves etc... [Type text] Figure 3.3.1 Valves 3.4 BEARINGS These help in the rotation of objects mostly shafts. Some examples are, roller bearing ,ball bearing etc.. 3.5 HYDRAULIC PRESSING MACHINE This machine can be found in the mechanical workshop. This machine uses hydraulic oil to press the material been placed in. 3.6 KNOWLDEGE ABOUT THE MARINE UNIT This sector deals with the repair of damaged parts of the shipping vessels. In this sector cleaning is their top most priority due to the nature of the job. The following are some things we learned during our staying period; 3.6.1 ENGINES Engine is a machine which converts energy in mechanical energy and motion. Some engines have two strokes and others have four. When we talk about strokes in engine it is when the pistons in the combustion chamber moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead center of the cylinder during the combustion cycle. And also there are two main types of engines and they [Type text] are the internal and the external combustion engines. These Tug boats have two main engines which have 16 cylinders on them in a V-shape. These Tug boat use an engine called the Cummings engine. 3.6.2 HOW FOUR STROKE ENGINES WORK Four stroke engines have four main stroke namely intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke,, and the exhaust stroke. This type of engine works when the power is been turned on then the fuel/air moves into the combustion chamber; this is known to be the intake stroke. Then in the combustion chamber the piston which is been connected to a rotating crankshaft compresses the fuel/air in the chamber by moving to the top center and the bottom. During the compression by the piston it ignites when it hits the top dead center. This ignition forces the piston to the bottom of the cylinder bore and rotating crankshaft and then propels the vessel forward. Then it discharges any gases from the combustion process through the exhaust. Figure 3.6.2.1 CYLINDER OF AN ENGINE 3.6.3 CRANKSHAFT Is a is used for operating the engine and also converts linear motion into rotational motion. [Type text] Figure 3.6.3.1 Crankshaft 3.7 SKINNER VALVE This is a type of valve solely for the passage of fuel to the engine. This valve has two( inlet and outlet tubes) tubes which are connected to it. Without fuel running through this valve the engine will never start. This is because the engine is been starved from fuel so there will be no fuel in the engine for it to work. Figure 3.7.1 Skinner valve 3.8 STRAINERS AND SILENCERS The strainer is used to remove large contamination (contaminated water) from the keel of the vessel. A silencer is used for the reduction of large amount of noise produced by ship engines. This is mostly found in the engine rooms of most vessels. 3.9 GASKETS AND HOW TO MAKE THEM Gaskets are like materials which helps in the sealing of two flanges together. There are several types of materials used for making gaskets and some of these materials are asbestos, neoprene rubber, nomex, kapton ,etc.. [Type text] 4.0 HOW TO CUT GASKETS Gaskets are been cut using gasket cutter or a by using a hammer, hollow chisels and then a cutter. To make one you put your gasket material you want to use , let’s say asbestos. Then you draw the size you want to cut on it then you start to cut. In cutting this you must be gentle with it otherwise it maybe break. Figure 4.0.1 GASKET 4.1 OIL TYPES We have two different oil. The heavy one and the light ones. Some examples are SAE 15W/90(gear oil), SAE 15W/40(engine oil),etc.. 4.2 HEAT EXCHANGERS They are components found in most vessel engines systems for effective exchange of heat between two substances. Types of heat exchangers i. Plate heat exchanger. ii. Finned Tube heat exchanger. iii. Shell and tube heat exchanger. 4.3 KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE MARINE TUGS In this sector it deals with tug boats. At the Takoradi ports you can find four main tug boats [Type text] namely ANKOBRA, DOVLO, and ERNEST AND KAITE DADZI. These tug boats ar used in the pushing and pulling of large vessels that enter the port to bet at the waif. The following are things we learnt during our stay; 4.4 DIVISION OF THE VESSEL Each vessel is divided into parts which are the starboard, port, aft and the forward. These divisions helps the pilot in navigation of the vessel. During navigation if you are been told to go to the starboard side it means you should go to the right hand side and if told to go to the port side it means you should head to the left hand side of vessel and also if been told to go a stern to should go sideways. Again in the vessel there are lots of cabins where one can rest, hallway , a mess for dinning ,a galley which is the name given to a kitchen inside a vessel, an engine room where you can find the engines and all other systems which coordinates the movement of the vessel and a bridge where the ship is been controlled by the pilot. 4.5 THE ENGINE ROOM Every ship has an engine room where basically all the components and systems of the ship can be located. In the engine from safety is a top most priority which is been observed so there are fire extinguishers which are place at certain vantage points in the engine room to stop any form of fire outbreak. There are five extinguishers which can be located in the engine room and all of the fire extinguishers which can be located in the engine room are all dry powder extinguishers. 4.5.1 THINGS YOU DO FIRST WHEN YOU GET TO THE ENGINE ROOM First things you do when you get to the engine room of any shipping vessel as the engineer on board is to;  Check the fuel levels of all the engines on board.  You check the level of hydraulic oil in both aqua masters and azimuth thrusters on board.  Check the level of water in the bilge whether its full or not.  Then you check the water tanks on both the port side and the starboard side. There are five engines that can be found in a vessel namely; 1. Starboard main engine this engine controls the right hand side of the vessel and also responsible for the movement of the propeller shaft since the propeller shaft is been driven by this engine. 2. Port main engine this engine also controls the left side of the vessel and also it drives the propeller shaft for the movement of the propellers. [Type text] 3. Starboard generator set this is responsible for generating light for the vessel. 4. Port generator set this is responsible for generating light for the vessel. 5. Firefighting engine This is like a pump that pumps water to evacuate any fire on other vessels. This is been operated by first opening the sea water inlet valves then you check if water cooling inlet/outlet valve for engine is been opened. then you turn on the dief epq on auto position then start the engine on the DCU by pushing the triangular button and confirm. After all that you put the dief epq on manual position for increasing and decreasing the speed. After using it to evacuate fire on other boats and ships you turn it off by putting the dief epq on auto position and pushing the stop button on the DCU. Then finally you close the seawater inlet valves. 4.5.2 HOW TO START THE ENGINES OF A VESSEL To start the engines on a vessel you first need to check all the fuel levels of all the engines. Then the engineer on board goes the engine control board on both the starboard side and the port side to turn it on to manual. Then turns the monitor on , afterwards you select start then a pop-up menu appears saying " ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO START ". Then you press yes on the monitor to start the engines. Then you wait for a couple of minutes for the engine to start. You will hear a loud noise which indicates that the engine the engine has started. When the engines are running you turn on the hydraulic pumps and turn on the propellers to high speed(both port side and the starboard side). Then you set it to auto for the pilot on board to gain full control. 4.5.3 THE BILGE WELL These are like gutters inside a vessel which accumulates condensed vapour and also water from other parts of the engines and the air conditioners. There are balls in it which is used to determine whether or not the bilge is full or not. There are also bilge valves which are used to empty the bilges. There four bilge wells that can be found inside the vessel we were in (DOVLO VESSEL) namely the aft bilge , z-drive bilge, workshop bilge and the domestic room bilge. 4.5.4 HOW TO EMPTY THE BILGE WELL Lets say you want to empty the aft bilge because its full, you have to open the aft bilge outlet valves then switch on the air compressors. After going through all this steps, then you press the green button on the bilge control panel to start empting the aft bilge. 4.5.5 COOLER BOX This is a cooling system located inside a vessel to cool down the engines. This is a huge box [Type text] which contains sea water which is been filtered by a sea chest. The container has pipes which are been to both the container and the engine. Then sea water in the container passes through the pipes to cool down the engines which are constantly overheating. After the water cools down the engine it passes through the outlet pipe with a higher temperature. The process is been repeated over and over until the engines are turned off. Then main reason behind this is to prevent the engine from overheating which can lead to damaging of the engine. 4.5.6 FUEL FILTER AND FUEL PURIFIERS Fuel filters are filters used in filtering the fuel to remove dirt from the fuel. Fuel purifier cleans the fuel before going into the main engines to prevent the engines from damaging. Figure 4.5.6.1 FUEL PURIFIER 4.5.7 FUEL STATION This station contains valves both on the right side and the left side. One side of the valve is the input and the other is the output valve. These valves are used during bonkling of a vessel to allow fuel into the tanks in the vessel. Figure 4.5.7.1 FUEL STATION [Type text] 4.5.8 HPP UNIT HPP which is the short form for High power processing unit uses the hydraulic system therefore uses hydraulic oil to enable the winches which will be released not to be entangled with it. 4.6 PTO (POWER TAKE OFF) This allows driving multiple hydraulic pumps and alternators from the main engine. 4.7.1 AZIMUTH THRUST The azimuth thrust or the z-drive can be found in the z-drive room. The azimuth thrust controls and enables the ship or vessel to go aft , forward and stern by using the propellers. This thrusters can make a full revolution of 360 degrees without any external help. 4.8.1 TANKS ON A SHIP There are several tanks on a ship which contains different liquids in them. There are the storage tanks for storage of fuel, the service day tanks ( these tank supply fuel to the main engine), header tanks , pure water tanks etc. There are five fuel tanks which can be located on a vessel at the Ghana Ports And Habour Authority Takoradi known as the KAITE DADZIE and the tanks are namely tank 2 (volume of 12.8m^3), tank 5 (volume of 13.0 m^3), tank 14 (volume of 13.0 m^3), tank 15 (volume of 13.0 m^3) and tank 16 (volume of 18.4 m^3). 4.8.2 COFFERDAM This refers to the space given between two tanks. The reason for this given space and not using only wall to separate two tanks is o prevent any mixing of those two different liquids from mixing. 4.8.3 SOUNDINGS This is been done to check the amount of liquid (fuel ) in a tank. This is measured by using an instrument called the sounding tape. Soundings are been carried out by the fourth engineer. The tape is metallic and has a heavy brass which is shaped like a bullet at the tip of the metallic strip. The reason for the attachment of the brass at the tip is because of the property of the brass to produce sound which when heard by the engineering doing the sounding means the tape has hit the bottom of the tank been sounded. The engineering caring out the sounding applies a cream on the tape for clear reading on the tape. [Type text] Figure 4.8.2.1 SOUNDING TAPE 1 4.8.4 MESS ROOM This room is a place where the people on board which are the engineers, the pilots, the captain, decants and many more sit to eat and relax themselves. 4.8.5 CABINS These are small rooms inside a ship where the people on board go there to relax and sleep. 4.8.6 BALLAST TANK A ballast tank is a compartment within a boat, ship or other floating structure that holds water, which is used as ballast to provide hydrostatic stability for a vessel, to reduce or control buoyancy, as in a submarine, to correct trim or list, to provide a more even load distribution along the hull to reduce structural sagging stresses or increase draft of a ship, boat or a submarine. [Type text] CHAPTER 4 OBSERVATIONS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION 5.0 OBSERVSATION I observed that, the type of work carried out by most engineers on the field of works are mostly based on the theories which are been taught in class. This shows that , things been taught in class should be taken serious and also we should also acquire more knowledge on the practical parts. 5.1 CONCLUSIONS The individual attachment u carried out was a very insightful one because i gained a lot of field knowledge and also learnt on how to work together in a company very well. 5.2 RECOMMENDATION My recommendations for other student after this insightful and impactful individual attachment, I recommend that; a. All students should be given the opportunity to engage in attachments during long vacations to enlighten them on what the future has for them.
