Secure main propulsion diesel engine

Assessed in: EN-4131 Internal Combustion Engines II

Condition

In an approved simulator, in the laboratory, or aboard a ship and given access a main propulsion diesel engine.

Behavior

Plan for and secure a main propulsion diesel engine, describing actions as they are being performed.

Standard

  1. Plan reflects proper sequence of actions, is complete, and conforms to the requirements of manufacturer’s instructions and ship’s procedures;
  2. Securing of main propulsion diesel engine is successful and conducted according to plan*;
  3. Actions taken are correctly and completely described;
  4. Required steps taken are verified by assessor utilizing sample checklist as a guide; *NOTE: Because of the physical separations and complexity of the tasks involved in demonstration of this proficiency, the assessment may be accomplished in segments during successive operational opportunities aboard ship.
