Objective:
To equip maritime students with the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out safe
emergency or temporary repairs on critical engine room systems—lube oil, fuel oil, seawater, and
freshwater—while adhering to safe working practices and industry regulations.
Definitions:
1. Emergency Repairs: Temporary fixes applied to restore system functionality in critical
situations until permanent repairs can be made.
2. Temporary Repairs: Short-term solutions implemented to maintain system operations under
restricted conditions.
3. Safe Working Practices: Guidelines and procedures designed to ensure the safety of
personnel, equipment, and the environment during repair activities.
4. Lube Oil System: A system responsible for lubricating engine components, reducing friction,
and dissipating heat.
5. Fuel Oil System: Supplies and manages fuel for combustion in the engine.
6. Seawater System: Used for cooling engine components and heat exchangers, and can be a
source of fire-fighting water.
7. Freshwater System: Primarily used for engine cooling (via heat exchangers) and other
essential onboard applications.
8. Patching: A method of temporarily sealing leaks using suitable materials.
9. Bypassing: Rerouting fluid flow to maintain system function while bypassing a damaged
section.
10. Jubilee Clamp: A type of hose clamp used to temporarily seal leaks in pipelines.
Conclusion
Emergency and temporary repairs in engine room systems are essential for maintaining vessel
operations and safety at sea. Maritime students must be trained in identifying faults, applying effective
repair methods, and adhering to safe working practices. Understanding these procedures ensures
quick response during emergencies and minimizes downtime, environmental risks, and safety
hazards.
