ENGINE ROOM – Arrangement
The modern engine room is a conglomeration of gears,
generators, compressors, separators, boilers and every
kind of mechanical contrivance imaginable, all linked
together by a network of pipelines, regulators and valves
to form a complex power house.

ENGINE ROOM – Arrangement
A modern engine room is many decks high and most of
the decks are in the form of galleries in order to permit
the location of diesel alternators, air compressors and
receivers, fuel oil and lubricating oil treatment units,
valves, pumps, tanks, etc.

ENGINE ROOM – Arrangement
The main machinery is usually located at the floor plate
level so that there is a wide clear opening over it. This
arrangement enables removal of large machinery without
the need of tearing up decks, piping or other equipment.
An overhead gantry crane is used to lift the heavy
components of machinery such as engine blocks,
cylinder liners, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts or
turbine casing and rotors during repairs or inspections.

ENGINE ROOM – Arrangement
The decks in the engine room are usually made of
special non-skid plates and steel gratings.
The advantages of gratings:
 permit observation of activity below
 are easily removed

QUESTIONS
1. What does the engine room of a modern ship look
like?
2. Where is most auxiliary machinery located?
3. Why must the space over the main machinery be
left clear?
4. What is the engine room gantry crane used for?
5. What are engine room decks made of?
6. What are the advantages of the floor gratings?
ENGINE ROOM – Control Room
The engine room remote control station is usually
located on a raised platform and is air-conditioned as
well as sound-insulated.
The control room is the place from where the engineers
can remotely control:
 the main engine
 other vital machinery such as generators, main
compressors, steering gear unit pump, main
pumps, etc.
ENGINE ROOM CONTROL CENTRE

ENGINE ROOM – Control Room
Operating data such as pressures, temperatures, tank
levels, speed, rev/min, etc. are automatically displayed
and recorded if necessary.
The station is equipped with a control stand (control
desk), besides including the main switchboard, divided
in conscpicious sections containing the main remote
controls, display and alarm instruments.

ENGINE ROOM – Control Room
A communication system connects the control station to
the wheelhouse, engineers’ living quarters as well as to
other parts of the ship.
Benefits of shipboard automation
Most of newly-built ships today are provided with fullyautomated unattended machinery space (UMS).
Automated control
 is more acurate and vigilant than manual control
 improves supervision efficiency and spots
incipient faults more readily than human eyes
 allows the ER staff more time to deal with
maintenance problems
 cuts down maintenance costs
 prevents long delays due to engine failure
 reduces consumption of fuel
 reduces crew requirements = reduces operational
costs...
QUESTIONS
1. What benefits does automatic control provide to the
engine room staff?
2. What benefits does automatic control provide to the
shipowner?
3. What items can be controlled from the ER station?
4. What does the control stand (control desk) consist
of?
5. What is the engine room communication system
linked to?
6. What is data logging?
