Precautions to be Observed during Docking & Undocking

Bunkers should not be taken when the ship is on the blocks. In cases where ships sail out immediately after dry-docking. Bunker is to be supplied after the ship has undocked and is floating. Shore power cables are to be connected after the ship has docked and the dock is dry. The cables should be disconnected before flooding the dock. During the flooding of the dock, the flooding is stooped when the level of water in the dock reaches just above the high suction box. All the sea suction valves under the floor plates should be checked for any leaks. In this situation, the ship is not floating and is still sitting firmly on the blocks. This verification is necessary to avoid any mistakes made by shipyard staff whereby some valves have not been fitted their cover joint sand gland packings. A second docking can be avoided by this check. The Master and C/E should visit the dry dock before flooding and verify the following before giving orders for flooding:  ...

Dry Docking - Part 2

SCOPE OF DRY DOCK WORK:   The list of jobs to be carried out during dry docking are as under: BOTTOM INSPECTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTION AS RECOMMENDED BY CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY SURVEYOR .                                                                                                                                                                               The first visit of the surveyor on the ship. This inspection is carried out and the dock is dry with the ship's bottom scraped free of barnacle growth. This inspection is usually carrie...

How will you describe battery capacity and discharge and its ampere-hour?

A battery's capacity is the amount of electrical charge it can deliver at the rated voltage. The more electrode material contained in the cell the greater its capacity. A small cell has less capacity than a larger cell with the same chemistry, although they develop the same open circuit voltage. Capacity is measured in units such as amp-hour(A-h). The rated capacity of a battery is usually expressed as the product of 20 hours multiplied by the current that a new battery can consistently supply for 20 hours at 20'C while remaining above a specified terminal voltage per cell. For example, a battery rated at 100Ah can deliver 5A over a 20-hour period at room temperature. The fraction of the stored charge that a battery can deliver depends on multiple factors, including battery chemistry, the rate at which the charge is delivered, the required terminal voltage, the storage period, ambient temperature and other factors. The higher the discharge rate, the lower the capacity. ...
