Internship is a basic academic requirement mandatory for students to undertake, offered by the
Limbe Nautical Arts and Fisheries institute (LINAFI).

The period of internship in the educational system of LINAFI is a period of learning whereby the
students get the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned theoretically in their
various fields of study in different organisations and companies.

This internship was programmed from the 1st of September 2020 to the 30th of September 2020 at
the industrial fishing port of Youpwe; Douala under the organisation NGANKO JEAN MARIE

The program is used by Limbe Nautical Arts and Fisheries Institute (LINAFI) as a tool to
identify and bridge the gap between key professional competence and classroom experience.
This is a long and sustained effort in attaining their mission of providing quality and highly
competitive undergraduate students. This program also provides an opportunity to integrate
career related experience into undergraduate studies by participating in a planned and supervised
training exercise.

This internship in NGANKO JEAN MARIE was very instructive and constructive. Many
equipments were shown to us, some of their working plans were given to us, some explanations
on their functioning were given to us, some various techniques on the dismantling and mounting
of some of their equipment were shown to us, and even the fabrication of some equipments were
shown to us.

2. ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT

2.1. ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT AT NGANKO JEAN MARIE

During the time of internship, maintenance and repairs were carried out on the vessel for
its proper functioning. These activities include;

2.1.1. FUEL INJECTORS TESTED AND REPLACED

Faulty fuel injection pump detected. It was observed and noticed that the power produced
by the engine was less than normal output expected.

2.1.1.1. Diagnosis
 Low power production by the engine
 Poor combustion of fuel, due to a lesser amount of fuel reaching the cylinders
 Poor idleness of the engine. A rough or choppy engine idle is observed which is caused
by fuel not properly being injected into the engine cylinder.
 Engine does not reach full RPM (revolutions per minute)
 Misfiring of the engine, which results from fuel injectors being clogged and dirty

2.1.1.2. Maintenance carried out

The fuel injectors were removed from its unit, checked, maintained and replaced. This was done
using the following procedure

 The cylinder head was opened in a snail pattern using specified wrenches
 The fuel injectors were removed from their unit simultaneously, and numbers placed on
them to prevent exchange of positions during remounting
 The fuel injectors were placed in a bucket and taken to the workshop for further testing
  Using a fuel injector tester machine, do a pressure test first on the injectors to determine
whether or not they are satisfactory

ASIDE:

The conditions for the proper functioning of fuel injectors include;

 Fuel comes out in the form of spray.

 The pressure on the gauge should be equal to that specified by the manufacturer.

 After these tests were conducted, the faulty fuel injectors were noted, replaced amd
brought back to the engine for remounting
 Using a filler gauge, the tapped clearance was measured and the firing order was adjusted
 The cylinder head was later closed, and the ship’s main engine was good to go

1.1.1. FUEL INJECTION PUMP DISMANTLED

After the vessels journey to the seas and back, the chief engineer did some light checkup
maintenances and discovered that sufficient amount of fuel was not being supplied to the fuel
injectors. After several diagnoses, it was suspected that the fuel injection pump of the main
engine was faulty. The mechanical seals had become harden and brittle over time, causing
leakage of fuel from the pumps

1.1.1.1. Process of repair

 The fuel pump was isolated from the electrical system
 The knots of the fuel injection pump were unscrewed and the fuel pump was then taken
out for corrective maintenance
 The pump was opened and the mechanical seals were replaced
 All components of the pump were then placed back in their original positions
 The pump was then closed, and the knots were screwed to its specified torque using a
torque wrench
 The pump was then mounted back on the main engine
 T
REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL FILTERS
During a light maintenance on the engine, the filters were replaced because the previous ones
were old and dirty. Before replacing the fuel filter, the fuel pump was isolated in order to relief
the pressure in the fuel line. After doing so, the fuel filter was then dismantled and then replaced
with the new one. The pump was used manually to pump fuel received from the fuel storage tank
into the new filters. The filters were then purged to removed air from within.

FILLING OF HATCH WITH ICE

The hatch was filled with ice for the preservation of fish during the fishing process for the time
the vessel spends at sea. The ice is transported from where it is manufactured directly into the
cold room of the vessel with the help of an ice transporting machine. The amount of ice stored in
the cold room can last for a minimum of 10 days

3. EVALUATION OF INTERNSHIP

3.1.STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESS OF CHANG LONG

3.1.1. STRENGTHS OF CHANG LONG

1. The consistency and devotedness of the crew members: The crew members are very
devoted in their various tasks and the put in their best in whatever they are doing to get the
best output.

2. Managerial Decision: This vessel has a very good managerial decision making. Their
decisions are unbiased. They do not look at physical appearance of anyone being carried
away by things which do not make sense before decision making. They are very objective
and face reality because they are striving for the best output.
3. Unity of crew: The united nature of the crew will make one know that they are out to give
their best in making sure that trainees effectively undergo quality training as professionals.
Their strong unity bond brings about confidence and assurance to all.

4. Discipline and hard work: The staffs of the vessel are known for discipline, punctuality
and hard work which has made it what is today.

5. Well equipped with working tools: The vessel is well equipped with working tools for
engineering activities to be carry out. Tools such as adjustable wrenches, feeler gauge,
measuring tape, tiny wrenches, ratcheting wrenches, hammer, Allen keys, hexagonal keys,
screw drivers, pliers, cutters, oil filter wrenches etc.

6. Team spirit: The collectiveness and collaboration between crew members of the vessel
puts in greater input to their various departments and thereby results to greater output
realize.

7. Generosity: All the crew members are open to teach by giving out the knowledge they
have on the field and show so much care and love to one and other.

8. External training: Training at this vessel was not confined only to the activities there.
The intern was given the opportunity to go to other vessels and see how they function to
be fully acquainted with the marine sector.

3.1.2. WEAKNESSES OF CHANG LONG

1. Insufficient working space: This vessel is a small one 15m long and 5.40m large thus
having insufficient space for operations to be carried out. The engine room is very small
and making work carry out in it very stressful.
2. Inadequate machines: Lack of advance machines and some working tools in it causes
all the work not to be done in the vessel, being sent most at times to the workshop for
maintenance and repairs of machinery parts.

3. Machine failure: The vessel suffered from technical problems, some machines usually
developed faults in the middle of an activity being carried out and some machines and
tools could not carry out complicated functions.

4. Less organization of work: The organization of work in the ship is not well defined thus
slowdown of working speed of the vessel since specific functions are not giving and
handled by a particular individual.

3.2.POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES

3.2.1. POSITIVE EXPERIENCES

 The intern was given access to machineries and tools, and to work on different projects in
the vessel which was a big privilege for the intern.

 The intern was opportune to interact with the experts of the vessel who made the intern
understand many things in the engineering world.

 The staffs were friendly, welcoming, and patient and sought to help the interns in all area
of difficulties.

 The engineering students, the intern gained new professional skills and ethics like
managing of certain tasks.

 The vessel had a beautiful environment which was conducive for training of interns.
  Interns gained knowledge on repairs and maintenance which will help the intern
throughout lifetime in any marine venture. The intern learned how to diagnose and
carryout repairs on machinery parts.

3.2.2. NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES

 High transportation cost during this period of internship was a heavy burden that carried
throughout this period. The intern could barely eat as all money was spent on transport.

 The frequent heavy rain during most of the days of this internship was a big problem to
the intern as the intern was patient and allergic to cold.

 The vessel did not have a well-equipped canteen, which made one to feed on dry food
which was detrimental to the health and wellbeing of some of the interns.

 Encountered problems with some activities at the beginning of the internship but as time
went on, the intern began to master every aspect of the activities.

RECOMMENDATIONS
 The vessel should be further equipped with more tools and machineries to ease activities
carry out in it.
  Should carry out more advertisements to create awareness to the public on their services
they offer.

 The technicians should work on the machineries carefully to avoid damage and failures
on machinery part.

 Preventive maintenance should be carried out regularly on the machines and equipments
of the vessel to prevent breakdowns.

CONCLUSION
Regardless of the negative effects experienced, the internship was a success. More
professional and technical skills was acquired. Learned the link between theory and school
practical which is similar and at the same time different from real life application of knowledge
in the field. Being able to identify most of the working tools and machineries, and can now carry
out maintenance and repairs on systems, identified some of the problems encountered in the
maritime sector and possible solutions.

Despite all the challenges faced during the time of internship and all the negative aspects
faced during this period, the intern will love to do more of such programs at NGANKO JEAN
MARIE again if given the opportunity to do so because it’s a wonderful place to be.
