1. What are the stresses acting on a crankshaft. What are the various parts to be inspected on a crankshaft.

The major sources of stress are -:

1) The working cycle.

2) Torsional vibration.

3) Axial vibration.

4) Misalignment.
These stresses are found mainly in two regions – Around the oil holes in pins & journals AND Around the fillets.
INSPECTION –
1) Crankshaft should be checked for cracks giving special attention to the fillets, lip of oil holes & other such vulnerable areas.
2) Working surface of journals and pins to be examined for signs of corrosion or pitting caused by water or acid contamination of
lubricating oil.
3) Inspect the shrink fit reference marks.
4) Check for the tightness of the coupling bolts.
5) Tightness of oil pipes and bearing locking devices.
6) Oil holes should be checked for cleanliness.
7) Balance securing arrangement
8) Blank the plugs in oil holes & oil tightness.
9) Check for the crankshaft deflection.

2. Explain PMS.

The PMS - Planned Maintenance System is a paper /Software based system which allows ship owners and/or operators of a vessel/ship
maintenance in intervals according to manufacturers and class/Classification society requirements. The maintenance, primarily supervised by the
on board personnel, is then credited towards inspections required by periodic surveys. The planning and scheduling of the maintenance, as well
as its documentation, must be made according to a system that is approved by Classification society like Germanischer Lloydetc.Which is now
mandatory as per ISM (International safety management).

3. Explain the requirement for PMS.

- Inventory content, i.e. items/systems included in the maintenance program.

- Maintenance time intervals, i.e. time intervals at which the maintenance jobs are to take place.
- Maintenance instructions, i.e. maintenance procedures to be followed.
- Maintenance documentation and history, i.e. documents specifying maintenance jobs carried out and their results.
- Reference documentation, i.e. performance results and measurements taken at certain intervals for trend investigations from delivery stage.
- Document flow chart, i.e. chart showing flow and filling of maintenance documents as planing cards, job cards etc.
- Signing instructions, i.e. who signs documents for verification of maintenance work carried out.
Documentation on maintenance of the category "Classification Surveys" carried out on items/ systems covered by the Rules is to be signed by the
Chief Engineer. With computerised systems the access to updating the maintenance documentation and the maintenance program should be
possible for the Chief Engineer only.
The description and documentation of the planned maintenance system are to be in the English language. The maintenance instructions and
maintenance history on job cards may, however, be in the language most practical and suitable for the maintenance crew. In such cases the
maintenance history and job cards is to be given a summary in English in the maintenance documentation.
For ships trading in specific areas, e.g. ferries, planned maintenance systems using other languages than English may be accepted. This
arrangement is automatically cancelled in case of change of trade.
The maintenance system is to produce a documentation which is useful as a basis for the annual survey of the PMS.
Computerised systems are to include back-up disks or cassettes which are updated at regular intervals.

6. what are the survey’s carried out IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CLASSIFICATION REGULATIONS. At what intervals
are they carried out.

ANNUAL SURVEY: TO BE HELD WITHIN 3 MONTHS BEFORE OR AFTER THE ANNIVERSARY DATE.
INTERMEDIATE IN LIEU OF THE 2ND OR 3RD ANNUAL SURVEY.
SURVEY:
TO BE HELD AT 2½ YEAR INTERVALS.
DOCKING SURVEY:

7. what do you mean by derating of an engine and how it is carried out.

The rules allow owners to declare a lower engine power provided that the engine has been
permanently de-rated. However, the power of the de-rated engine should not be normally less
than 75% of the MCEP.

Permitted de-rating methods are:

a) limiting the fuel rack

b) changing the fuel pump
c) changing the governor settings
d) re-programming the electronic governor
e) removing the turbocharger
Alternative proposed modifications aimed at reducing an engine's MCEP, will also be considered.
