Bilge System
purpose
Remove water from engine room or any compartment other than tank.
Dimensioning acc. Class rules.
Cleaning oily bilge water before discharge to sea.
Engine room emergency draining with largest, often S.W. cooling pump
location
Pipeline through all ship.
2 pumps in engine room, valves in pipe tunnel or engine room
Special requirements on passenger ship (extra pumps)
main components
Piston pump, centrifugal pump, bilge water separator, tank. (Ballast water or
General service pump is often utilised as spare bilge pump)
design problems
Occasional suction problems. Pipeline arrangement in confined aft ship
operation problems
Frequent alarms from too small bilge wells. Bilge water separator cannot
handle e.g. detergents.

location
Pipeline through the ship.
Two pumps in engine room, valves in pipe tunnel or engine room. 6 10
deep tanks widely distributed. Ring line must be inside B/5.
Pumps can also be in fore pump room (pax ships) or cargo pump room.
Roro ships have often anti-heeling tanks as separate high capacity system.
main components
Centrifugal pump
Possibly high capacity heeling pumps / air compressors
design problems
Occasional suction problems.

location
Cabling and workstations through all ship. Computers in the engine room,
heavy duty local control terminals also in engine rooms.
main components
Computers and work stations. Electric and optical cables with routers.
design problems
Expensive system, cabling and testing time consuming. Subsystem
compatibility problems. Rapid development brings unmature solutions.
Finding safe and remote location for cables and routers.
operation problems
Many software related problems. Updating management is critical.
Operator skills need constant improvement and better operator interfaces.
Systems influence on ship safety.
Pentti Hkkinen ship auxiliaries.11.1
Wrrtsil New Professionals 3.-7.11.2008
location
Main switchboard close to generators in control room (or adjacent space).
Due to safety reasons often divided and placed in two switchboard rooms.
Other switchboards seldom in engine room. Centralised starter boards in
control room or engine room.
main components
Main switchboard
design problems
Main switchboard length, up to 14 meter. Big cables & high ventilation
demand increase space problems.
Emergency conditions -arching, short circuits.
operation problems
Seldom systematic problems.
Pentti Hkkinen ship auxiliaries.11.1
Wrrtsil New Professionals 3.-7.11.2008
main components
Emergency diesel generator with automatic start located above main
deck. Access from open deck, self-contained plant.
Emergency cells located above main deck. Supply power after main
voltage loss, until emergency generator operates.
Sufficient alone in some small cargo ships.
Emergency switchboard, located near the power source. Sections:
400V ES1 feeds fire pump, bilge pump, steering gear and other
emergency consumers
240V ES2 feeds navigation instruments, fed by ES1
240V ES3 feeds alarm system, emergency & navigation lights,
fed by ES2 or cells
operation problems
Starting failures of emergency generator / emergency fire pump

location
Main components often in main engine room instead of dedicated spaces.
Insulated pipes are lead to consumers through all ship.
main components
Normally two oil fired boilers and exhaust gas boiler for each main engine.
Water tanks and pump assemblies
design problems
High capacity boilers and exhaust gas boilers (including overhaul space)
cause space problems in passenger ships.
Pumps location on low level can also be difficult
operation problems
Feed water related problems
Exhaust gas boiler fouling and soot fires

Fire Protection
To activate fire alarm and permit early and efficient fire extinguishing.
Ship divided in machinery spaces, cargo space, accommodation
(each with multiple fire zones).
Fire water system required in all ships. Needed also for cooling of structures.
Number and capacity of pumps according to rules. Secondary system is
always required.
Carbon dioxide: all fires, efficient in enclosed space, lethal, testing difficult
Water fog: newcomer, all fires, non-toxic, complicated plant, testing easy
Halon: efficient, mildly toxic, banned due to ozone layer depleting effect
Foam: various foams for various purposes, difficult after cleaning
(Powder)
Total flooding (Space) extinguishers Local extinguishers
Local compulsory in existing pax vessel by October 2005

location
Large multistage units with sea water pumps located in dedicated rooms.
Water tanks distributed in various compartments.
Cargo ships the small evaporators and hydrophores in main engine room.
main components
Multistage units & water tanks in cruise liners. Otherwise small components.
Reverse osmosis units: small, demand high pumping power, 300 ppm salt.
design problems
Large evaporator size and high energy consumption.
More stages mean low heat consumption but increase cost and dimensions.
