My last two appointments ti ship have been in the capacity as Main Diesel Generator maintainer. Most recently on high voltage diesel electric ship where i also had main transmission line and propulsion. Two Azimuth Thusters Power 12500Kw and shaft power 4400Kw. Coming from two Wartsila W26V12 and two W268L engines. Ship was heading back for drydocking and had various engine problems throughout the 4month appointment. Pulling heads and full units to stop leaks was a weekly occurrence with relative success in that we go one engine completely dry of water leaks. Other problems involved changing high pressure fuel pumps and changing injectors. At the end of the appointment the material state of the equipment under my charge was greatly increased.Main Propulsion Engineer in charge of two 18 cylinder SEMT Pielstick PC2.5V engines, transmission line, two rotary vane steering gear systems and two hydraulically operated watertight engineroom door systems. Also have responsibilities as Emergency Engineering Officer of the Watch and finally Machinery Control Room manager which involves ensuring all support and monitoring systems are maintained and have all consumables available to duty engineers for carrying out there duty periods, I am also responsible for archiving the months daily logs in accordance with regulations.In this position I have found that I am a focal point for more junior engineers should there experience or knowledge leave them requiring advise or assistance in carrying out there tasks.I have during this appointment carried out various maintenance tasks including but not limited to, major exhaust system defect rectification due to exhaust leaks, fitting of lubricating oil steam heaters, routine planned maintenance both hours based and time based on all the equipment under my charge whilst also assisting others within and out with the engineering department.

Desk Officer working for Technical SuperintendentDuring this post thus far I have been assisting the Technical Superintendent with the build of Work Packages for future Refit Periods writing and auditing Work Specification items for submission to the Ship Repairer for work that has to be carried out. I regularly engage with the departments Design Authority to discuss future developments to continually improve the quality and future supportability of the equipment being run on board.I have carried out numerous ships visits to assess the material state of our ships and capture any work that is required or may help the ships staff to better/ more efficiently carry out their daily duties on board. Also anything that may have been simply overlooked.When ships have been in carrying out maintenance periods I have been on board regularly monitoring the progress of work being carried out and available to ships staff to raise any on going concerns that they may have about the work being carried out.During this post I have also sadly been involved in the preparation work for the disposal of a couple of platforms, liaising with various MOD departments to find out which pieces of equipment have to be removed for redistribution to the current fleet. This also includes meeting with MCA Surveyors to carry out inspections throughout the process ensuring that all legal requirements are met to satisfy him in the safety of the ship and environment for future movements to its final destination.Finally I am also available for technical support for the flotilla assisting where I can from my office with any technical queries from the various MOD departments, which largely include personnel from a non technical background with little or no experience of physically working onboard ships, using my past experience and knowledge of the ships to best assist them in their function.

I was also stationed in the Control Room during Emergency Stations as the Propulsion Manager, acting as an engine room advisor to my superiors on what effect any incident may have on the ships capabilities.During my second appointment I was charged with Ventilation, Refrigeration and Auxiliary Diesel Engine Maintenance (8 Marinized Volvo Penta). The ship was just finishing a refit and I was involved in commissioning ships systems where required not limited to machinery under my direct charge.During any Emergencies I was in charge of the main fire and repair party, ensuring all roles where covered by competent personnel advising the Chief Engineer on what man power I had available for him to task as required.Ship and service date details are contained within the attached document.

This was the main part of my professional appointments prior to gaining promotion to 3rd Engineer. Gaining and building my hands on practical knowledge, skills and experience.Maintaining and operating systems such as:Main Diesel PropulsionAuxiliary Diesel enginesPropulsion Transmission Line and AncillariesPumping SystemsSewage SystemsCompressors (Low, Medium and High Pressure)Boilers and AncillariesPneumatic and Hydraulic SystemsPurifying SystemsThis is to name but a few of the main systems that I have worked on.Ship and service date details are contained in the attached document.

During this appointment to my first ship qualified I didn't have any equipment for which I was in charge of but served as a sort of Junior. Carrying out regular duty days in the Duty Engineer roster.As well as this I assisted all the other Engineers onboard to carry out their maintenance. This included but is not limited too, working with the deck engineer regularly on various systems. This included overhaul of a cargo fuel pump, and day to day maintenance of various deck machinery. I also assisted the other engineers in the daily maintenance task on variety of machinery again including but not limited to main engine, auxiliary engines, pumps, purifiers, sewage treatment, oily water separator, fridges and domestic service.With the ship recently coming out of refit and going through its regeneration period or return to service in the fleet there were a lot of training exercises carried out. During these I served as the 2nd in charge of a fire and repair party during fire and damage control exercises.
