c. Provisions to provide during store and installation

2. ON ARRIVAL OF ME
1.

Validation of Delivery and Part List Documents:

2.

Physically check on arrived Engine.

3.
4.

Part list including no. of units, spec, and type.

Part list of any loose items (panels, bolts, sensors, etc)
To report a.s.a.p if any deficiencies occurred (not confirmed with
those on part list, any damage items, etc)
Visual check on coating, corrosion and appearance.
Check for any LO in the Engine during delivery
To report a.s.a.p for any deficiency occurred (late report will lead to
delay of the overall building schedule)

Ensuring the arriving Engine is safe during handling and

store.
Validation and check shall only proceed in the presence of
the Engine Maker / supplier, Yards, and Owner Reps.

Checks on Engine
arrival

3. ONBOARD INSTALLATION OF ME
1. Preparation for
onboard installation
Crane capacity
ER works schedule
Maker attendance if
necessary

2. ME foundation
welding check
Ultrasonic test witnessed
by Yard and Owner reps,
Class
Record of UT test and
Class Surveyor approval

3. Onboard installation
ME lifting into ER space
Inspection for any
deficiencies

4. Shafting Alignment

Alignment from stern tube to

ME
Alignment record, verification
and approval

5. Chock-fast and engine

seating

Chock-fast calculation acc to

spec
Chock-fast calculation
approval by class
On-site verification on chockfast moldings and Class
surveyor approval
Tightening fixed-bolts using
torque according to Engine
Project Guide

4. SUPPORTING SYSTEMS INSTALLATION

1. Shafting assembly

Done if only when the chock-fast is completely dry (min 24 hrs)

Stern-tube, shaft, Plummer block, gearbox assembly.
Verify and record of alignment after shafting assembly is installed
Tightening bolts with torque according to Makers
recommendation.

2. Flushing of Supporting systems pipes

FO, LO, Cooling, and Air starting pipes flushing by using chemical
to remove any debris and welding slag to ensure the cleanliness
After Flushing is done, circulating the FO, LO, cooling water to
remove the chemical by means of external pumps and filters.
All supporting systems are to be functionally tested prior to
installation

3. Supporting and control systems assembly onto ME

After all pipes are flushed and cleaned supporting systems pipes
(FO, LO, Cooling, air start, exhaust gas) are installed onto ME.
Check the alignment of pipes onto ME, particularly for Exhaust
gas pipe.

5. START UP TESTS
1.

Preparation prior to ME start up

2.

Check the availability of

provisions onboard (LO, FO,
FW)
Verifying spec of LO, FO, and
Coolant to comply with the
Makers standard
Ensuring all facilities necessary
to be ready (starting
compressor or batteries,
manpower, fire fighting, etc)

Safety Devices Test

Shall be carried out before start

up test, to avoid any potential
harms to the engine.
Shall be done in the presence
of Yard, Owner reps, and Class

3.

Methods for test shall be

agreed among those parties
involved (actual test or
simulation)
Items of safety devices test
are referred to the Class
Rules

Engine Start up test

Done after safety devices

test is completed
The engine shall be able to
start 6 times consecutively
(for Reversible engine) and
12 times consecutively (for
Non-reversible engine)
Control systems for rpm
and throttle shall be well
working locally (from ECR)

and remotely (from WH)

6. SAFETY DEVICES TESTS (CLASS MATTER)

1. Speed control and protection against engine over
speed

Back-up systems for governors

Reliability measures (max 20% difference of rated speed)

2. Cylinder over pressure warning device

Max 40% above combustion pressure

Using control valves or audible & visible control devices

3. Crank case airing and venting

Able to extracting LO vapor

Max negative press 2,5 bar

4. Crank case safety devices

Safety valves fitted for max 0,2 bar over pressure

Warning system in ECR

5. SAFETY DEVICES TESTS (CLASS REQMNT)

5. Starting air system safety devices
Non-return valve fitted on each line for preventing
back press
Flame arrestors fitted directly in front of starting valve
or main starting air line
6. LO system safety devices
Warning system and auto-stop device against LO low
press
7. Scavenge manifolds safety devices (for 2-stroke
engines)
8. Overheat safety device
Warning system and auto-stop device against
overheat of cooling

6. BAY TEST
Carried out in Yards bay
For testing the control system of main engine
and remotely operated from the wheelhouse.
To revise and to re-setup any non working
control system of main engine.
To be done for yard trial preparation.
Besides the main engine, some internal test
are also done (e.g. lifeboat test, fire fighting,
functional test)

ENGINE PERFORMANCE TEST ON SEA TRIAL

1. Engine running at rated engine speed (at least 4
hours uninterrupted period) called as endurance
test
2. Engine running at engine speed corresponding to
normal cruise power (at least 2,5 hours)
3. At minimum on-load speed
4. Starting and reversing maneuver
5. In reverse direction of propeller direction at
minimum 70% rated speed (min 10 minutes)
6. Functional tests of monitoring systems and safety
devices systems
