LOSS OF POWER (BLACKOUT)

Safety Compass July, 2014

◈ Cause of blackouts

Automation failure

(auxiliaries load control/sharing failure etc)

Control equipment failure

(eg. governor failure, defective trips for high

temperature cooling or low luboil pressure

etc)

Electrical failure

(eg. overload, reverse power trip, preferential

trip device failure etc)

Lack of fuel

(eg. blocked filters, water in fuel, fuel supply

piping and pump failures etc)

Mechanical failure

(eg. lack of compression, engine seizure, loss

of lubrication, overheating etc)

Human error

Other causes

◈ Recommendations to reduce the risk of power losses and blackouts

Ensure correct maintenance of all equipment; engines, purifiers, filters, fuel systems and sealing arrangements

Ensure fuel oil viscosity and temperature control equipment is accurate and fully operational

Ensure that system temperature and pressure alarms, fuel filter differential pressure transmitters, etc are accurate and operational

Ensure fuel changeover procedures are clearly defined and understood

Ensure that engineers are fully familiar with fuel systems and main engine starting systems and establish ‘failure to start’ p r o c e d u r e s . T h e s e s h o u l d i n c l u d e familiarisation with operation locally and from the engine control room

Ensure that the starting air pressure is monitored during manoeuvring operations and that the deck department appreciates the limitations of starting air availability

During standby, run two (or more) generators in parallel whilst ensuring sufficient power availability should one stop or trip. Monitor and balance switchboard power loads equally

Test the astern operation of the main engine prior to arriving at the pilot station and, if practical, before approaching the berth

◈ Cause

1) Blackout during parallel mode of No.1 & No.2 generator

Inflow of generator trip signal caused by damage in start/stop box and poor earthing

2) Failure to auto start of stand by generator : Poor battery (UPS type) for auto start

Discharged battery caused by overdue changing time and miswriting RM-record

◈ Lessons to be learned (Full knowledge items)

1) Improvement of emergency response for restoration of G/E and M/E

2) Response for emergency steering (How to helm when using emergency power)

3) Response for emergency anchoring

① To maintain anchor emergency s/by condition

② To ensure anchor watch in the forecastle

③ Anchor handling (Dropping & Holding) when supplying emergency power

4) Emergency response for re-floating

① Inspecting damaged parts of hull and stranded parts

② Planning for getting off the stranding

5) Management of accident records

6) Training for emergency response against blackout

① Restoration procedure of G/E and M/E

② Distribution diagram for emergency power

③ Understanding bridge console including M/E control system

◈ Outline

While departing from

Gwangyang at 0102 on 17th

August, 2011 and passing

near No.11 green buoy with

pilot on board, two generator

engines stopped without any

alarms.

Anchored in an emergency

due to blackout, but stranded

on shallow water out of

fairway.

Damage caused by inflow of oil and water

There is high probability of inflow of fault signalcaused by poor cable arrangement in the box.

비상조타

◈ Specification of power supply system for S/Gear1) Steering Gear(S/G) Power supply system is duplicate system, different from other equipment, in order to

keep operation by power supply from emergency power source.

Remarks) Normally, S/G can be operated in half speed by power supply from emergency generator

But, some vessel keep the same speed of normal case. Power source for S/G is supplied

through the MCCB on MSBD/ESBD and controlled from INDIVIDUAL START PANEL located

at S/G room.

2) Check the Alarm for S/G, indicated at W/H control console and take action like change-over etc.

◈ In case of S/G malfunction1) Auto pilot

In case that the “AUTO/HAND” operation at“AUTO PILOT STAND”is impossible, Check operation

of NFU(non-follow-up). If auto pilot power unit is normal, NFU operation is possible.

2) S/G

Operate the pump and valve according to the emergency intruction posted at W/H and S/G room.

① During the voyage, reduce the speed to the maneuvering half speed.

② Station the man required, according to procedure “Emergency steering”

③ Check the operating condition of communication system between the steering gear room and the

bridge.

④ Check the angle deviation between the gyro repeater at the steering gear room and the bridge

gyro compass.

⑤ According to the guidelines, Check the operating condition of both the Ram of a rudder and the

rudder angle indicator by controlling the solenoid valve by hand.

⑥ Conduct the trial to check the operating condition and then actually operate.

⑦ Find some damaged parts of steering gear and repair them. Check how damaged they are. If they

can not be repaired on board, contact a relative shorebased team and request support.

◈ In case of leakage from hydraulic piping line of S/GOperation method is different as per maker/type, so operate pump and valve by referring to instruction

of equipment installed on board.

1) If L.O low level alarm of S/G is generated, check immediately whether isolation system is normal or

not and find out cause of the occurrence.

2) Observe narrowly operation condition of two S/G and L.O-level change of S/G hydraulic L.O tank

caused by leakage, if necessary, operate manual valve.

3) If cause of the occurrence is found out, stop S/G which has the problem.

4) Find some damaged parts(oil leakage parts) of steering gear and repair them. Check how damaged

they are. If they can not be repaired on board, contact a relative shorebased team and request

support.

Tips for working with senior staff:

Ask questions.

Do not be afraid to speak up.

Remember seniors are human too and should

appreciate your help or assistance.

Listen to what you are being told and respond

appropriately.

Only by communicating can you become a part of

the team.

Tips for those in positions of authority:

Remember, as you are the senior, this may deter

juniors from speaking up.

You must be seen as open and approachable.

Do not be overbearing or angry.

Always listen and never be dismissive.

Ask questions and encourage others to ask you

questions.

Disseminate information to your team.

All professional communications to be carried out in the ship’s working language,in particular:

Training

Drills

Safety meetings.

Bridge communications.

Engine room communications.

During training and drills, ask questions and encourage others to ask questions.

Familiarity with duties and equipment will ensure crew members remain calm during an emergency.

Ebola�Virus

Safety Compass

1. EBOLA VIRUSEbola first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous

outbreaks, in Nzara, Sudan, and in Yambuku,

Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter was in a

village situated near the Ebola River, from which

the disease takes its name.

2. TransmissionEbola then spreads in the community through

human-to-human transmission, with infection

resulting from direct contact (through broken skin

or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions,

organs or other bodily fluids of infected people,

and indirect contact with environments

contaminated with such fluids. Burial ceremonies

in which mourners have direct contact with the

body of the deceased person can also play a role

in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have

recovered from the disease can still transmit the

virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after

recovery from illness.

However, the only available evidence available

comes from healthy adult males. It would be

premature to extrapolate the health effects of the

virus to all population groups, such as immuno-

compromised persons, persons with underlying

medical conditions, pregnant women and children.

More studies of RESTV are needed before

definitive conclusions can be drawn about the

pathogenicity and virulence of this virus in

humans.

3. Area of originGuinee, Sierra leone, Liberia etc. of West Africa

(Occurred in inland province in early days, but

extended to coastal area gradually)

4. Signs and symptomsEVD is a severe acute viral illness often

characterized by the sudden onset of fever,

intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and

sore throat. This is followed by vomiting,

diarrhoea, rash, impaired kidney and liver

function, and in some cases, both internal and

external bleeding. Laboratory findings include

low white blood cell and platelet counts and

elevated liver enzymes.

5. Vaccine and treatmentNo licensed vaccine for EVD is available. Several

vaccines are being tested, but none are available

for clinical use.

6. Preventive action-. Prohibition of shore leave and food purchased

outside her such as local ingredient etc.

-. Avoid contact with native and if unavoidable,

wear mask, gloves, goggles, etc.

-. To maintain hygienic condition/cleanness
