Engine Watchkeeping for beginners 2025: THE GUIDE FOR FIRST TIMERS, CADETS, NEWLY PROMOTED RATINGS, AND ENGINEERS FOR A SAFER AND EFFICIENT WATCHKEEPING IN THE SHIP’S ENGINE ROOM.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MACHINERY DURING WATCHKEEPING, It would seem normal to you until it's too late..
Kevin was an engine cadet onboard an international merchant ship, he was asked by 3E too look at the purifier before they go up and unman, he went and checked the purifier and reported that it was running fine.
An hour later the engine room alarm blared, it was the purifier that Kevin was asked to check up on. And when 3rd finally arrived in the engine room, the purifier was vibrating wildly and fuel was gushing out from the pipes.
Despite being 6 months onboard already, Kevin's knowledge about watchkeeping is still not as deep.
This e-book is integral and especially for cadets and first timers, oftentimes the unspoken truth for cadets are they are often neglected to their own means when they come onboard, the hectic schedule and busy nature of ship life has left engineers very busy day to day until they finish their contract and have little time to tutor cadets about familiarization and knowledge, mostly cadets are ordered what to do with hardly any explanation but that they must obey because the work needed to be done.
From the proper PPE, to rest hour schedules, excerpts from STCW chapter 8, and to technical insights on what to do when an alarm happens, this will give cadets the knowledge they need as a foundation on what to know about engine watchkeeping and grow their knowledge about machinery checkpoints. This will teach cadets what to look for in a running equipment, to ensure that it is indeed running normally and safely.
Prepare yourself by storing fundamental knowledge about watchkeeping and ease your way into the engine room's complexities by learning what this book has to offer, so when you go onboard you are truly ready.
