Course Description

• Ship’s propulsion plant machinery comprises propeller, shafting and main and auxiliary machinery which is necessary to maintain continuous operation of the main machinery. An energy produced in propulsion machinery moves a ship forward. İn order to produce the energy, various energy conversions are taken place in the propulsion plant. These energy conversions must be carried out effectively in a proper manner. From this aspect, engieering officers as a plant operator need to acquire principles, knowledge and skills necessary to handle the propulsion plant machinery with theoretical background. This course covers operation of propulsion machinery including starting up the plant and setting up the navigational condition of the plant for the effective energy conversion and remote and automatic control and safety devices applied to the propulsion machinery. İn addition, it also covers shafting system including propeller fitting.
• For the subject of maintenance, exercises for reading/understanding sequential circuit diagram, hydraulic and pneumatic circuit diagram are scheduled and assignment papers for the maintenance of valve and other auxiliary machinery would be prepared and instructions saying what should be done by students would be given. These assignment papers should be submitted at the each end of the course hour. The circuit diagrams are still widely used for operation, control and power producing systems.

Course Objectives

1. To enable students to understand the systems constrcuting ship’s propulsion plant.

2. To enable students to understand the theoretical background applied to operation of propulsion machinery.

3. To enable students to understand principles to be observed for operation of propulsion machinery.

4. To enable students to understnad precautions and procedures on operation of propulsion machinery.

5. To enable students to understand remote and automatic controls and safety devices applied to main and auxiliary machinery.

6. To enable students to understand shafting system including propeller fitting.

7. To enable students to understand shafting system

8. To enable students to understand sequential circuit diagram

9. To enable students to understand hydraulic and pneumatic circuit diagram

10. To enable students to understand how maintenance should be carried out.

11. To enable stuidents acquire skills applied to maintenance of valves and other auxiliary machinery This course is given based on a degree programme in Marine Engineering for improving cadets’ professional qualification. The course gives students an expertise of managing a naval vessel’s machinery as a Marine Engineer and ultimately as the Chief Engineer of the vessel.
