records.
Check the documentation/drawings to establish what equipment is
powered by the EGS. Check this against reality.
Is any equipment added to the EG switchboard? How has this
influenced the total power requirement versus maximum output of
EGS?
Check the state suitability of the starting mechanism (electric: dedicated
battery pack; air: dedicated air receiver with NRV) of the EGS.
Test-run the EGS, based on a blackout simulation to check auto-start
mechanism, fuel supply etc. Test manual start alternative.
Check during the day and during the night for light coverage.
Generator must automatically start and come into operation within 45
seconds. MODU Code 5.3.3.3. Run as much EG-powered equipment
as practically possible for 2 hrs, to check for reliability, overheating,
proper functioning of all equipment on alternative supply.
Is the fuel for the EGS changed regularly? Is the tank kept full at all
times?
Cooling System:
- Is the cooling system filled with corrosion inhibitor?
- Is the system full?
- Visually inspect the state of the cooling system hoses.
- Can cooling air freely get to the radiator?
- Is the cooling fan (and other rotating equipment) properly guarded?

Emergency Shutdown
Function test Engine-room emergency shut-down from all stations.
Function test Fuel Shut-off shut-down from all stations.
Function test Air Conditioning emergency shut-downs/dampers.
Function test Ventilation emergency shut-downs/dampers.
