1. Overview The boiler starting procedure ensures safe and efficient operation by following key steps: checking alarms, purging sequences, igniting the pilot burner, verifying main burner ignition, regulating fuel oil flow,

Fresh water generators are critical on ships, primarily because access to freshwater sources is restricted at sea. Ships require fresh water for various onboard uses; therefore, freshwater generation systems are critical

1. Ballast Water Treatment System Ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) are indispensable mechanisms installed on ships to sanitize ballast water, crucial for maintaining stability and preventing ecological disruptions during voyages. By

Overview Inert Gas Systems (IGS) are vital safety mechanisms on oil vessels, displacing flammable gases with inert ones to prevent explosions. They consist of generators, scrubbers, blowers, and safety features, ensuring

1. Introduction Sewage treatment plant on ships are the essentials that help to keep the environment neat by managing the waste in the ships. Let’s dive into and know how such

1. What is an Oily Water Separator? An oily water separator is a device used on ships to separate oil from water before discharging it overboard. Its importance lies in environmental

Overview When a large ship is on the water and everything is just right, it floats evenly. But sometimes, things aren’t perfect, and one side of the ship might be heavier,

1. Overview Digitalization is the process of using digital technologies to revolutionize traditional corporate processes and operations, it comprises the integration of technologies such as IoT, AI, Big Data Analytics, and

1. Introduction  Displacement is commonly used to denote the mass of the ship in tonnes. Technically, it is the mass of water displaced by a ship and, when floating freely, the

1. Introduction The term bunkering is typically associated with the shipping industry. Bunkering refers to the process of refueling the vessel for its regular operations. It involves the transfer of fuel,

1. Introduction A ship is a highly advanced piece of technology made up of many parts that work together smoothly. It plays a crucial role in supporting both life and the

There are two ways of air compression: isothermal and isentropic Isothermal air compression: We know that the isothermal process is a constant temperature process, which is not optimal for compressing air

A multistage air compressor is a type of air compressor that uses multiple stages of compression to achieve high pressures. Each compression stage consists of a set of cylinders, with each

Air is made of molecules, which are loosely packed under atmospheric pressure. When this air is put in an enclosed space and force is applied on it, its volume decreases and

Rescue boats are small boats carried on board ships for use in emergencies such as in rescue operations of survivors. They are designed to be launched quickly into the water, and

What is a gasket? A gasket is a mechanical seal, which fills the space between two mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage by filling in the irregularities between “less than perfect”
