An air compressor is being refitted in the engine room. The compressor and motor are coupled using a flexible coupling and are mounted on a common “skid” which fixed to the deck with resilient mountings. Which of the statements, from the options given, relating to the alignment of the motor and compressor is true?
Machines using flexible couplings and resilient mountings do not need to be aligned. That is why they have flexible and resilient elements fitted.
Shims should be fitted between the motor and compressor feet and the skid to ensure correct vertical, horizontal and parallel alignment of the coupling halves before it is bolted up.
As long as the two coupling halves are at the same height the flexible coupling will accommodate any horizontal misalignment or difference in the gap between the coupling faces.
The compressor and motor can just be placed directly on the common skid as they will probably be closely aligned anyway.
While alongside at a repair berth a new section of seawater pipe has been fabricated in a shoreside workshop from drawings supplied by the vessel. During fitting of the pipe by ship’s engineers it is noted that the pipe is too short leaving a gap of about 8mm between the flange faces. What action should be taken to remedy this problem?
The ships engineer’s should use extra long bolts and pull the flanges together.
The ship’s engineers should manufacture a spacer piece to fit the gap.
The pipe should be returned to the shoreside workshop for modification or to be remade to the correct dimensions.
The ship’s engineers should fit extra thick joints between the flanges to fill the gap.
Modern slow speed, two stroke diesel engines often have locating pins or pegs to keep the piston rings in a fixed position. Why is this arrangement used?
The piston ring gaps can be kept in line to control the gas pressure on each of the rings.
The piston rings are more difficult to lubricate because of the slow operating speeds and will wear more quickly if they are allowed to rotate.
It avoids the risk of the ends of the piston rings being forced out by the gas pressure and catching on the scavenge ports.
It ensures the rings cannot be mixed up and that they are fitted in the correct order on the piston.
Large slow speed diesel engines are usually of the crosshead type and have various arrangements to deliver lubricating oil directly to the crosshead bearings and guides to ensure adequate lubrication. Why are the crosshead bearings considered differently to the other bearing in this type of engine in respect of lubrication requirements?
The crosshead bearing is closer to the engine cylinder and therefore runs hotter.
The running surfaces oscillate relative to each other during operation rather than rotate and therefore full film hydrodynamic lubrication is not possible.
The lubricating oil has further to travel to the crosshead bearing and so a separate arrangement is necessary.
The crosshead bearing is more heavily loaded than other bearings in the engine so requires more oil to keep it cool.
A seawater pump requires overhaul but there are no spare wear rings for the casing and impeller. It is decided that new wear rings will be fabricated onboard using the ship’s lathe. What would be the most suitable material to use to fabricate the rings onboard?
Aluminium.

Mild steel.
A new cylindrical brass bearing sleeve for a pump shaft is found to be a few millimetres too long for the housing and needs to be adjusted to the correct length. Which will be the best method to use to reduce the length of the sleeve to the correct dimension?
Cut off the excess with a mechanical hacksaw.
Grind off the excess on a pedestal grinder for quickness.
Remove the excess length using the ship’s lathe.
Manually hacksaw off the excess and dress the end with a file.
What is the anticipated rolling period of a ship with a large initial Transverse Metacentric Height (GM) and would there be any associated dangers to consider?
Long slow roll and no particular hazards.
Short period of roll, but a very stable ship and no associated dangers.
Short sharp period of roll associated with breaking lashings and shifting cargo.
Long period of roll with free surface effects at a maximum.
During maintenance of a piston rod stuffing box on a large, slow speed diesel engine it is usual to measure the butt gaps between the sealing ring and scraper ring segments. What would be the effect of these gaps being too small?
If the gaps are too small then the flow of scavenge air through the gland would be reduced and the gland would overheat.
If the gaps were too small then no oil could pass up the piston rod to lubricate the sealing rings.
If the gaps are too small the rings could score the piston rod.
If the gaps are too small they could close due to the radial wear of the rings before the next scheduled overhaul preventing the rings from contacting the piston rod and sealing it.
With the set point at the actual desired value, a temperature control system is giving an unacceptably large offset (difference between set point and measured value) on high load resulting in a low system temperature. Which of the actions given in the options should be taken to reduce this effect and therefore achieve closer control of the temperature?
Increase the set point to a value above the actual desired value.
Crack open the manual bypass valve for the control valve.
Reduce the width of the proportional band for the controller.
Increase the width of the proportional band for the controller.
A vapour compression refrigeration system is usually fitted with a number of devices to give protection and control of the system. Which of the methods given in the options should be used to test the high pressure cut out during routine maintenance and checking of the system?
Charge the system with refrigerant until the high pressure cut out operates.
Close the condenser outlet valve and closely monitor the condenser pressure.
Gradually shut in the condenser cooling water valve or the condenser refrigerant inlet valve while closely monitoring the compressor discharge pressure.
Manually close each of the evaporator coils by switching off the electrical supply to the liquid line solenoid shut off valves and monitor the condenser pressure.
Some large slow speed diesel engines have jack bolt arrangements for retaining the main bearing top keep in place rather than the more conventional stud bolts. How does this arrangement affect the maintenance and checking procedures for the tie rods on the engine?
It has no effect since the tie rods and jacking bolts have completely separate functions.
The jacking bolts should be fully loaded before the tie rods are tensioned to avoid excess loads on the tie rods.
The tie rods and jacking bolts must be tightened simultaneously to avoid excess load on either component.
The tie rods should be fully tensioned before the jacking bolts are loaded to avoid overload of the bearing caps and frame structure.

The current test features Seagull CES questions focused on the topic «Engine, Management, Slow Speed». These questions are designed to assess the competence of specialists in preventing incidents related to transport safety, as well as for self-assessment purposes.
The «Propulsion» topic covers both theoretical and practical knowledge essential for advanced training on any type of vessel. Mastery of this subject is a clear indicator of an employee’s competence in holding a relevant position aboard any vessel. During slow-speed operations, seafarers are responsible for monitoring and managing the ship’s engines and propulsion systems to ensure safe and efficient performance.
Their duties include overseeing engine parameters, performing routine maintenance, and working closely with the ship’s navigation team to optimize fuel efficiency and maneuverability during maneuvers such as docking or navigating through tight channels. Additionally, they must be ready to troubleshoot and resolve any technical issues that may arise to maintain the vessel’s operational integrity.
