MARITIME ENGINEERING Operate maritime diesel propulsion plant outside normal parameters

Transcription

1 1 of 5 level: 6 credit: 26 planned review date: January 1998 sub-field: purpose: Maritime This unit standard is for people in the maritime engineering industry and covers the necessary operation of marine diesel propulsion plant and associated systems, outside of normal operating parameters and methods, when required by the needs of overall ship safety or safe operation during malfunction. People credited with this unit standard are able to: initiate start up and shut down to diesel propulsion plant during abnormal operation; maintain output of diesel propulsion plant during abnormal operation; and respond to changes in demand during abnormal operation of diesel propulsion. entry information: accreditation option: moderation option: Open. Evaluation of documentation and visit by NZQA and industry. A centrally established and directed moderation system has been established by Maritime Qualifications New Zealand Inc.

2 2 of 5 special notes: 1 Safety rules, regulations, legislation, and their subsequent amendments include: - Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS); - Marine Pollution (MARPOL); - Resource Management Act (RMA) 1994; - Maritime Transport Act 1994; - Company or Organisational rules and regulations; - Manufacturer s guidelines and recommendations. 2 Plant includes: - Diesel Engines including shafting, gearing, and associated auxiliaries; - Systems necessary to move the vessel. 3 Parameters include: - Pressures; - Levels; - Flow; - Temperatures; - Speeds; - Vibrations. 4 Plant output: On request for assistance, necessary operation of malfunctioning plants, e.g. for safety of navigation, necessary operation outside of normal parameters and methods. 5 Alterations in output include: - On request for assistance; - Necessary for the operation of malfunctioning plant; - Necessary for operation outside of normal parameters and methods.

3 3 of 5 6 Correct personnel include: - Chief Engineer; - Master; - Officer of the Watch. 7 Engineering practices are defined by: - Codes of Practice; - Chief Engineer s instructions; - Manufacturer s instructions and manuals Company operating procedures. Elements and Performance Criteria element 1 Initiate start up and shut down to diesel propulsion plant during abnormal operation. start up and shut down of plant - on request for assistance, necessary for operation of malfunctioning plant, necessary for operation outside of normal parameters and methods. 1.1 The need for alterations to routine operations is identified and communicated to the correct personnel for action. 1.2 Operations are planned and carried out in accordance with established safety 1.3 The timing and degree of preparation of plant are consistent with the condition of the plant and the nature of any malfunction.

4 4 of Planned alterations to parameters and methods are confirmed with the correct personnel prior to initiation. 1.5 Revised parameters and methods mitigate the risk of plant damage and support the maintenance of ship operations. 1.6 Revised parameters and methods are communicated to all operational personnel impacted by the start up or shut down. 1.7 The sequence and timings of start up or shut down of equipment and systems is consistent with the condition of the plant and the nature of any malfunction. element 2 Maintain output of diesel propulsion plant during abnormal operation. 2.1 Operations are planned and carried out in accordance with established safety 2.2 Demand output is maintained within the parameters achievable given the nature of fault or condition. 2.3 Necessary alterations to output are actioned within a time frame agreed with the correct operational personnel. agreed between Chief Engineer and Master. 2.4 Output status is communicated to operational personnel impacted by operation. 2.5 Abnormal operation of plant is contained to limits of safe ship operation.

5 5 of 5 element 3 Respond to changes in demand during abnormal operation of diesel propulsion. 3.1 Operations are planned and carried out in accordance with established safety 3.2 New demand requirements are identified and actioned within a time frame which maintains safe plant operation. operation - manual adjustment of controls to achieve new demand, monitoring of remote operation. 3.3 Preparations for alterations in output comply with engineering practices. 3.4 The timing and sequence of adjustments during alteration of output meet the requirements of the operation. 3.5 Revised output matches demand within the limitations of the nature of any fault to, or condition of, the plant. Comments to: Maritime Qualifications New Zealand Inc Unit Standard Revision PO Box 160 WELLINGTON by January Please Note: Providers must be accredited by the Qualifications Authority before they can offer programmes of education and training assessed against unit standards. Accredited providers assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that applies to those unit standards. [Please refer to relevant Plan ref: 0054]
