I should also prepare maintenance reports, fuel oil and lubrication oil samples analysis, inventory report of spare parts, store and spare parts requisitions, etc.  5. Describe the procedure to start a fresh water generator, boiler, emergency generator?答： In case of fresh water generator: (1) Check the valves to make sure that they are in the normal position (2) Open the sea water valves of condenser and supply sea water to heating chamber (3) Start the sea water ejector pump to draw out the vacuum until the heating chamber vacuum reaches 93% (about 700 mmHg) (4) Open the water heating valves and keep the heating chamber temperature around 45 degrees Centigrade (5) When the condensed water reaches a certain level, start the distilled water pump, and keep its pressure no less than 0.2MPa. (6) Start chemical liquid feed pump. In case of automatic。boiler: (1) Check the water level to make sure there is normal volume of water inside (2) Open the vent valve on top of the boiler (if it is first time to raise pressure from cold condition) (3) Confirm the boiler water supply pumps are in “Auto” condition (4) Switch on the power supply (5) Put the boiler control switch in “Auto” condition (6) Automatically start the boiler, close the air vent valve while the boiler steam pressure reaches 0.02 MPa. (7) Confirm the boiler can auto stop while it pressure reaches “high limit” (e.g. 0.7MPa)。In case of manual boiler (1) Check the water level to make sure there is normal volume of water inside and put the feed water pump in “Auto” position (2) Open the vent valve on top of the boiler (if it is first time raise pressure from cold condition) (3) Put the draft fan in “Manual” position, and make preventive blow to avoid any possible explosion (4) Put the fuel oil pump in “Manual” position (5) Ignite fire by pressing the manual button, if the fire “On”, put valve (6) When the steam pressure reaches to 0.1MPa, close the air vent valve (7) After making sure that everything is in order, the normal burning can be done to make the steam pressure reach required level。In case of emergency generator (1) Check the lube oil level in the crankcase and fuel oil level in the tank all in normal level (2) Check to see if there is any leakage (3) Check the air pressure if the generator is the air-started model; or check the battery voltage to see whether it is normal if the generator is of the battery start model (4) Also make sure there aren’t any obstacles around the machine. (5) Put the test switch in “Manual” position, and manually start it after making sure that above-mentioned items in order (6) If you use “Auto test” model, or “Black out” model to test the emergency generator, you must inform bridge duty officer and Chief Engineer. And you cannot carry it until you get the permit from both of them. Otherwise, you must wait (7) “Auto test” must be carried out once every month. “Blackout” test must be carried out once every 3 months6. When the main engine cannot started by the compressed air, what are the possible causes?答：There may be the following causes (1) Air pressure is too low (2) The turning gear is still engaged (3) There may be operational fault (4) Some of the high injection pumps are sticked (5) No fuel oil due to the fact that the fuel valve is not open or the fuel pump is not running (6) Relative locked due to some safety device actions (7) Air distributor timing has been wrong Etc.  7. When main engine stops after running a while, what are the possible causes? 答：The following reasons may lead to the problem: (1) Some of the high injection pumps are sticked (2) There is no fuel oil because valve is not open or the fuel pump is not running (3) Lube oil pressure is too low, or control air pressure is too low。8. What is the purpose of taking lube oil samples for analysis?答： By analyzing the lube oil sample, we want to know whether the lube oil meets the stipulated standards in viscosity, TBN (total base number), flash point, water contents, mechanic impurities etc.. If impurities (i.e. metals) are found, it means something wrong with the bearing and crankshaft. If the viscosity is lower than the standard, it may mean that fuel oil may have leaked into the lube oil system. Too much fuel oil in the lube oil system can lower the flash point of the lube and also may lead to possible explosion. The important figure is TBN. If the TBN is lower than the standard, it means the loss of the anti-acid ability and this will lead to the moving parts corrosive in the near future.  9. What are the things you need to take note during the handover (before you sign off)? 答：The outgoing First Engineer shall prepare a set of handover notes for the incoming First Engineer and shall ask the incoming First Engineer be familiar with the note contents.

In general the handover procedure shall include the following (1) A tour of the engine room, with view of the engines, documents and equipments (2) Discussion on current and future engine and machine’s operation problems, spare part requirement (3) Information on the maintenance work and program (4) Dry dock repair list, if there if any (5) Discussion on the junior engineers or crew’s capacity and personalities (6) Survey status and requirements (7) Store and status of the ship’s safety equipment and machines (8) Current status of the ship’s safety equipments and machines (9) Safety and environment protection procedures and any special requirement by the company and in some areas in the world (10) Disciplinary procedures and management practice in the Engine department (11) Any other matters that the outgoing First Engineer thinks necessary and important After the handover, the two First Engineers should sign all the Handover Checklist as evidence and for files.  10. Before and after any hot works is carried out, what are the safety precautions you take?答： (1) An application of hot work permit must made before this kind of work is done. One copy shall be put on hot work spot, and another copy in ship’s file (2) Make sure that you are suitably equipped and clothed (3) Observe carefully to see whether the weather, and the temperature are fit for firework (4) See whether the fired part and its vicinity have any potential inflammable materials or toxic gases that can arise any fire or poisoning disaster.
