A

Centrifugal break using brake pads that are spring loaded, As drum rotates the springs are overcome by centrifugal force applying brake pads to drum slowing rate of fall to 36 metres/min by friction.

The holding brake is a weighted lever and when lifted stops the boat at any level and holds it there for embarkation for example

A

Inform bridge and request engine to be slowed or stopped

Inform Chief Engineer

Start diesel generator and put on load if it doesn’t happen automatically

Check thrust block LO level and water level for cooling and if required top up or ensure valves fully open

67
Q

Why temperature critical thrust block?

A

Higher temperature will mean the oil has lesser viscosity, this affects the oil wedge hydraulically transferring thrust into hull of ship will not operate correctly that means the thrust pads could contact the thrust collar causing damage to shaft. As well as this white metal bearings in thrust block loose tensile stress at 120 degrees and above 180 degrees begin to melt.

68
Q

A

FIND
INFORM
RESTRICT
EXTINGUISH
