A Step-By-Step Guide to Overhauling Generators on Ships

Generator overhauling on ships is one mammoth of a task for marine engineers. According to a research, 50% of marine engineers who are at the initial stages of the their sea careers are unaware of the procedure for overhauling generators. Of those who have already experienced, most of them don’t have enough confidence to carry out the D’carb alone or are reluctant to take the responsibility without the assistance of a senior personnel.

The fact is that overhauling of ship’s generators is not a part of a daily routine task. It is a long and tedious procedure which is carried out when the generator reaches the time for scheduled maintenance after completing certain number of running hours as stated by the manufacturers. Needless to say, overhauling of generators requires hands-on knowledge and experience along with thorough understanding of step-by-step procedures for maintenance of auxiliary engine D’carb.

“A Step by Step Guide to Overhauling Generators on Ships” is a power-packed resource for overhauling generators (auxiliary engines), featuring planning, executing, and re-starting the generator.

In this four part series, get practical knowledge and helpful tips on carrying out operation and maintenance of boilers on board.

What do we cover in these eBooks?

  • Pre-Planning before doing d’carb
  • Preparation
  • Opening of major parts of the generator
  • Checks required for generator d’carb
  • Measurements
  • Closing and Assembling of major parts
  • Starting Preparation
  • Running-in and inspection
  • Alternator Maintenance during d’carb procedure

According to Hull and Machinery survey, engine room machinery such as generator accounts to 33% of the total claims received by the Swedish Club for Insurance cover. This is big figure considering that insurance costs are significant cost elements for ship owners and operators. As a result, there is a substantial pressure on professional marine engineers working on ships to carry out routine scheduled maintenance with utmost efficiency, especially when there has been several cases of punitive actions taken against professionals who have failed to perform their jobs properly, knowingly or unknowingly.

Secondly, the rate of maritime casualties as a result of lack of knowledge of proper use of technology on ships is on the rise. A staggering 75-96% of maritime casualties are caused, at least in part, by some form of human error. This is a massive figure while taking the factor of “seafarers’s safety” on board ships. A proper understanding of any important/major maintenance procedure is imperative for marine engineers responsible for safe and smooth working of engine room machinery.

Ensuring that safe working practices are followed while carrying out generator overhauling is important for all marine engineers. As such processes are usually a team effort, miscommunication can result in unfortunate accidents. It is therefore necessary to follow systematic guidelines and step-by-step procedures for carrying out such complex work in the engine room.

D’carb of a generator is a long process which usually take minimum of 4-7 days or even more. Remembering each and every step, procedure, and guidelines is beyond the scope of any human being. Marine engineers use checklists and other important information provided by the manufacturers. However, when it comes to the actual work they constantly seek advice from their seniors and colleagues. Though this is important, it is also a bit risky to rely of the knowledge of others as there are high chances of forgetting important steps while carrying out a long process. A written resource which has all the details that are required, both practical and theoretical, is therefore a must have for all marine engineers.

What Mariners are Saying about these eBooks?

“Having worked as a Service Technician with MAN B&W, I know the amount of efforts and precision it takes to carry out an error-less overhauling of generators on ships. Auxiliary engine is a complicated and expensive piece of machinery which requires professional expertise and skills for carrying out maintenance procedure. As an expert who works on marine engines, I recommend to use a guide like this which would assist you through the lengthy procedure of generator d’carb.”
– Musab.O.Karabulut, Current- Technical inspector, AB International Marine Services Co; Previous- Service technician, Man B&W

If you are a marine engineer working on ships, you must have heard of many unfortunate stories of generator overhauling procedures gone wrong, resulting in loss of life and property, and engineers getting sacked as a result. An auxiliary engine is an extremely expensive piece of machinery and ship owners don’t want any inexperienced and inefficient professionals working on it. If a mistake is made while carrying out this work, mind that no mercy will be shown to you by the owners. Be on the safer side, learn the process inside-out using this excellent guide which will provide you with all that is needed to have a successful generator d’carb. – Rishab Joshi, Third Engineer, GMC

To be honest, overhauling auxiliary engines on ships is not an easy task. It takes several days of continuous and accurate work to ensure that the engine restarted in a smooth and efficient manner. There are numerous things, both major and minor, to remember while carrying out the d’carb procedure. A solid resource which provides both practical and theoretical knowledge is a must and this guide is the best reference out there for important tips and tricks for overhauling generators. This is a must-have for all maritime professionals. – Mohit Kaushik, Third Engineer, Maersk Line

If you have ever done or seen a generator overhauling on ships, you would know the amount of team effort and insane attention to detail the procedure requires. Sometimes even after having several years of experience working on ships one can miss an important step while carrying out the maintenance work. It is definitely not an easy task, but something which requires great skills, focus, and knowledge. You need a resource which tell you practical solutions which are a product of years of experience and lessons learnt from mistakes. If you have been looking for such a resource for generator d’carb then your search ends here. This is a one-stop reference for generator overhauling and a must have ebook for people working in the ship’s engine room.   – Anil Samotra, Second Engineer, V-Ships

One of the drawbacks of working on newer ships is the lack of opportunities they would provide you for learning major overhauling of various machinery in the engine room. If you are a marine engineer and have experienced generator d’carb in the early stage of your career, consider yourself luck cause sooner or later you will have to perform the task all by yourself. This guide is extremely important for all experienced and inexperienced marine engineers who want to master one of the most important tasks in the ship’s engine room- Generator Overhauling! – Hemant Rai, Second Engineer, Dynacom Tankers Management Ltd

A One-Stop Resource for Operating Ship’s Machinery Systems

Do you find ship dry dock procedures physically and mentally stressing? Do you find the whole dry docking procedure intimidating? Do you try to avoid or escape dry docking of ship? Are you confused on how the dry dock operation is carried out? You’re not alone.

A Guide to Master Dry Dock Operations (For engine room department) is a downloadable ebook designed to help you understand the whole dry docking procedure is a step-by-step manner, right from the planning to sea trials.The guide is divided into 8 easy-to-follow chapters, which explain all the important jobs that are performed in the engine room department of the ship.

If you find dry dock operations tedious and complicated, this ebook will help you to understand the importance of planning and preparation for the dry dock with important procedures.

What do we cover in this eBook?

  • Planning the dry dock
  • Preparations for dry dock
  • Man Power management during dry dock
  • Machinery jobs in dry dock
  • Electrical jobs in dry dock
  • Checks in dry dock
  • Regulations, Surveys and Pre-Flooding Checks
  • Sea Trials

Three important steps for a successful dry docking operation that are provided in the ebook:

1. Planning/Preparation – Steps taken and jobs done weeks or months before the dry dock

2. Dry docking operation – Procedures to be carried out before and during the dry dock

3. Post docking operation – Taking the ship out of the dock and performing the sea trials

This 90+ pages guide is written in a step-by-step format with to-the-point information in order to help you easily understand the process and challenges faced during the dry docking process.

The guide also includes the following reports and checklists:

Reports – Work order report, Tag-in Tag-out report, Landing report, Valve operation report

Checklists – Planning and preparation checklist, Before Docking Checklist, During Dry dock checklist, Before Undocking checklist.

As a seafarer, you know the amount of time and efforts required to successfully carry out a dry docking procedure. It’s a circus out there with several maintenance tasks being carried out simultaneously by both ship and shore staff, various machinery systems lying dismantled all around the engine room, piping systems opened up ruthlessly for repairing jobs, and a number of people from surveyors to shore technicians visiting the ship every now and then.

In one of the surveys, we found that more than half of the seafarers are a bit apprehensive when it comes to working in dry docks, and if given a change, they would try their best to avoid them.

Some of the main reasons stated by seafarers for avoiding dry docks:

  • Way too much time and efforts required for planning and preparation of dry dock
  • Physically and mentally taxing job with very less time to relax
  • Too many surveys, checks, and maintenance jobs
  • Lack of knowledge as to what exactly happens in the dry-dock
  • Hazardous working conditions

One of the main issues regarding dry-docks which we came to know during this survey was that most of the seafarers didn’t have a clear idea as to what is to be done, and most importantly how it is to be done in the dry dock. Many of them are afraid of the whole task, not because there is hard work involved, but because they do not know how the dry-docking process works and what is the right way to approach the same. Considering the questions which we received, it was clear that the seafarers did not have a well-defined idea as to how dry docking of ships is planned and carried out. This guide is an attempt to answer all those questions.

Questions answered in the eBook:

1. Planning the dry dock

  • What is dry docking?
  • When to start planning for the dry dock?
  • How ship’s crew should plan the dry dock?
  • How office personnel should plan the dry dock?

2. Preparations before the dry dock

  • Engine crew preparation
  • Preparation of tools and spares
  • Preparation of paints, chemicals and gas
  • Preparation of oil, water and bilges
  • Preparation for paper work
  • Safety preparation
  • Electrical preparation
  • General preparation before entering the dock

3. Man Power Management

  • Watch keeping
  • Machinery maintenance work distribution
  • Rest hours
  • Miscellaneous jobs
