Operational Marine Engineering (Steam) JNE243
Introduction
This unit has been designed to provide the learner with the required basic knowledge and skills to contribute to the safe operation of the Ship as a watch-keeping Engineer. This unit will provide students with an understanding of the construction, operating principles, and characteristics of the Steam ship's power plant and their associated auxiliary systems, to enable safe and efficient operation, at the Engineer Watchkeepers level during steady state, transient, and fault conditions. This unit will also provide the basis for the further study required by higher qualifications. This unit meets the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the current Maritime Training Package, the STCW (2010 Manila Amendments) and Table A-III/1 and AIII/2 of the STCW Code.
