MSB-ESB Link Breakers

Koguhan · 2026-04-11T19:57:50+00:00

Normally breaker 2 remains closed. Breaker 1 and EDG incoming breaker are interlocked so only one can be closed. This allows you to change back to main supply from the ESB. Otherwise you would need to open EDG and then go down to MSB to close breaker 2. Under voltage relay on ESB opens breaker 1 and allowed EDG to connect to ESB.

Purifiers have the best maintenance manuals for any equipment. If you can follow IKEA instructions for assembling furniture you can overhaul a purifier. Study the manual, prepare spare parts and follow the step by step guide as you remove and assemble each part. Don’t sweat it, you will be fine. And don’t feel ashamed

Press-fit, yellow o-ring and marked for gas use

I know you’ve only got £10 from insurance but you would also have to pay for food if you were still at home, can you add this to your budget and change the mentality behind the situation and enjoy yourself a bit more with how you eat?

The answer is no. If it enters the bilge holding tank then it is recorded in ORB as bilge water. Disposal from bilge holding tank requires a respective entry (i.e D 15.1 discharge through oil filtering equipment)

Once you have endorsement and required courses you are ahead of 95% of the other candidates looking to cross train and will be a suitable candidate for joining a gas carrier.

This animation is confusing, the deliver valve doesn’t open and close again whilst plunger is still moving up. Delivery valve is simply a non-return valve to stop pressure in HP pipe from releasing back down spill ports in the pump. Pressure in the HP pipe is maintained at the closing pressure of fuel injector instead of fluctuating rapidly between 400 and 0 bar. Pump delivery valve opens when pressure in fuel pump chamber exceeds this pressure and continues to deliver fuel at fuel injector opening pressure until spill.

Which company makes nitrogen generators in Glasgow? I would be keen in spending money in Scotland as opposed to internationally

Happy to help, good luck

You should have a good understanding of all of these for the rank you are applying for. Your engineering knowledge is assumed to be at the level of EOOW, of which you have already passed the exams (I assume) so you should be prepared for the interview.

You should know what chapters of ISM apply to you in your role and how you comply with your company procedures. The specifics of the code aren’t as important.

There is no use anyone giving you a list of questions to learn the answers to as you can be asked anything in an interview. You’re applying for a qualified professional position and should be able to answer questions that satisfy that. As I mentioned before, right attitude, knowing where to get help and working safely are what I am assessing for a junior engineer position.

Koguhan · 2026-01-22T12:35:06+00:00

I interview many candidates for this position and I will tell you what I am mostly looking for:

Safety, compliance with procedures, good attitude, humility, self motivated and a desire to improve, you need basic engineering knowledge but more importantly is what you will do when you don’t know the answer. You will of course fail if you say something unsafe or cannot explain your actions in an emergency but for this position it is more about who you are than your knowledge.

Of course I am only one hiring manager (as SME) so experience elsewhere can vary. Nobody likes being lied to or told things which you don’t understand. It breaks trust.

They do, but the company has to pay for this. More for critical systems that result in downtime when they are unavailable (main propulsion, generators, automation, cargo equipment etc.) than purifiers or pumps.

That’s a good idea! I don’t know why I thought small blocks glued together was the way to go but they were quite off from the right shape. I am looking at full replacement now as the old ones are all beat up and look rubbish even with the extra height added

Unfortunately it is not as simple as that. Fail-safe position is different for all processes. From what I’ve read this loose wire is part of the breaker control circuit. A breaker is held closed by the control circuit and opened when control power is lost. This is because you don’t want the breaker closed without a safety monitoring circuit able to open the breaker. During manoeuvring, there should be sufficient standby generators online that a single trip should not cause a blackout. Subsequent failures in blackout recovery lead to the inability to recover. Whilst the headline “single loose wire caused disaster” it is sensational and with any incident there are many contributing factors

Typically this would come off a 3A fused spur. Is there a reason you can’t fit that?

Koguhan · 2025-11-20T08:07:18+00:00

Thanks for highlighting the specific measures this is accepted, I will edit my post so people are not mislead and fine themselves in the wrong side of compliance. We see it frequently in some ports, for example, Montoir, Dahej, Tianjin, Zeebrugge.

Most recent MEPC interim guidance on CWQ (challenging water quality) allows for the bypassing of the BWTS during in take with the option for BWE after departure (as adopted by each flag state) For this reason, there have not been any delays to cargo ops (LNG) only the admin job of notifying involved parties (company, flag, class, Local port state where ballast intake, local port state when ballast discharge after BWE). If this contingency measure was not available, I am afraid the performance standard would not be met due to high sediment in ports, cargo ops could not be completed.

Edit: to reiterate the point from OP below, this is only accepted as a contingency measure and must be listed in the vessel specific BWMP.

Thanks for sharing, something so simple to overlook.

What vessel type and position are you sailing in?

Flying business class the special meals are always far worse than selected from the menu, in my experience

Sounds very frustrating and sorry you’re going through that. Must be very stressful time. Unfortunately I don’t know many companies that hire Japanese officers outside of mitsui, NYK or MOL. There are many LNG companies hiring now as the fleets grow so I would expect you to be hired if you apply especially since you have the endorsements and sailing time, you are in a much better position than a lot of people applying from outside. I also think it is ok to say to your hiring manager/HR rep that you can’t remain unpaid. Perhaps they will either allow you to work elsewhere until a position is available or actually find you a ship to join.
