4.7. The electrician is responsible for the misuse of the provided official powers and use them for personal purposes.

On most transport ships there is a full-time position of an electromechanic who is responsible for direct responsibility for technical operation ship electrical equipment.

General The senior (chief) engineer is responsible for the correct technical operation of the ship's electrical equipment.

Most often, an electrician has to work interact with ship mechanics . This is explained by the fact that the main part of the ship's technical equipment is electrified mechanisms, such as, for example, steering and anchor-mooring devices, lifting mechanisms, pumps, fans, compressors, etc.

The electrician must know the device, principle of operation and operation features of the above mechanisms and other CTS as well as ship mechanics, if not better than them.

This is explained by the fact that any mechanism and the electric motor that sets it in motion are connected by the law of conservation of energy and therefore mutually influence each other.

For example, if the valve on the pump discharge line is opened more than before, the power developed by the pump will increase. Since the pump receives this power from the electric motor, the power of the electric motor will automatically increase. In other words, changing the parameters of the mechanism led to a change in the parameters of the engine.

The reverse example: if, when lifting a certain load with a winch, the engine is switched to a higher speed, the power of both the electric motor and the winch will increase.

In this case, changing the parameters of the electric motor led to a change in the parameters of the mechanism.

From this follows another conclusion: when working on a ship, you need to help each other, and

do not declare immediately when a malfunction occurs: “you have it”.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO - IMO), which determines the main directions for the development of maritime navigation, adopted in 1978 and 1995 two main documents regarding the professional training of seafarers:

1. in 1978 - international convention for training and certification

seafarers and watchkeeping (STCW - 78, STCW - 78);

2. in 1995 - the International Code for the preparation and certification of the sea

kov and watchkeeping (KPDM - 95, CODE - 95).

Both documents are obligatory for the countries that have signed these documents. Compliance with the requirements of these documents allows the sailors of any state to work without restrictions on any ship of the world fleet.

Ukraine acceded to STCW-78 in 1996, after the adoption by the Supreme Council of Ukraine of Law No. 464-96 / VR of November 1, 1996.

Both documents contain tables of minimum requirements for the competence of ship's specialists - navigators, ship mechanics and radio specialists in the performance of certain functions at three levels:

1. service (for enlisted personnel);

2. operation (for shift assistants and mechanics);

3. management (for captains and senior assistants; senior and second mech.)

Item value

The subject "Ship's automated electric drives" is of paramount importance in the educational and professional training of ship's electricians.

The vast majority of ship technical means (STS) of sea vessels are electrified and automated, so their effective operation is impossible without mastering this subject.

This course lays the foundation for knowledge of marine electrical equipment and control systems, its maintenance and service. The need for fundamental knowledge of ship electromechanics ship electrical engineering and its components - marine electric drives determined primarily by the needs of production.

Control questions for self-control:

1. What is called. electric drive and its components?

2. Give the main features of the classification of electric drives.

3. Operating conditions of the SEA and the Register's requirements for it.

4. Explain the degree of SEA protection according to international standards.

5. Classification of BOT by operating modes.

Literature:

1. Textbook (1), § 1

2. Rules for the classification and construction of ships.

Lecture #2

Topic: „ Operating modes of the electric drive. Forces and moments: static and dynamic.

And his duties

The modern fleet includes ships for various purposes, different years of construction, having a different composition of electrical equipment and a different element base of automation and control systems. These circumstances also determine the different composition of the electrical personnel of the courts. Ship electrical equipment and ESA, as well as all ship structures and technical means, are distributed to the members of the electrical group with the aim of their specialization in the fuel and energy of a limited number of STS, the accumulation and continuity of operating experience, and the specification of responsibility for the TS.

under the command is understood as a complex of STS, systems, devices, supplies with appropriate documentation, assigned to a member of the electrical group, who is fully responsible for their technical operation in general or for one of its constituent parts(technical use, maintenance). The distribution by departments is regulated by the Charter and is specified by the ship's schedule by departments.

In the navy, the electric group is most fully represented on electric ships. On them, the members of the electrical group (the second, third, fourth electromechanics and electricians) are directly subordinate to the senior electromechanic, who, in turn, is subordinate to the senior mechanic. If necessary, the second electrician replaces the senior electrician, the third - the second, and the fourth - the third electrician.

Senior electrician is responsible for reliable operation, correct fuel and technical condition of: propulsion electrical installation, solar power plant and electrical networks, switchgears, ESA and control, telephone communications, alarm systems, as well as power supplies for electro-radio navigation devices and other electromechanical means. He is the responsible manager of the SEA works and is in charge of the SPZ and the logistics of the electrical part.

The Chief Electrician is responsible for:

– to ensure the implementation of the Regulations on the thermal power plant navy, PTE and other regulatory and technical documentation, a safe organization work and compliance by subordinates with safety and fire safety rules;

– draw up a work plan for SEA and ESA, approved by the chief engineer;

- distribute crew members subordinate to him according to shifts and work, coordinating with the chief engineer;

- draw up applications, ensure the receipt and accounting of spare parts and logistics for the electrical part;

- draw up repair sheets for the electrical part, “monitor the quality of work on the SEA and ESA performed by shore and ship specialists;

- to control the operation of the electrical equipment of the ship's cargo facilities during the period of cargo operations;

- before the ship leaves for a voyage, check the efficiency of the EMS and ESA for navigation and report to the chief engineer about its readiness 30 minutes before departure (the scope of preparation of specific equipment is determined by the PTE);

- personally supervise the control of the electrical equipment of the SEU when the vessel enters the port, leaves it and during mooring operations, without leaving the engine room without the permission of the chief engineer;

- maintain the established technical documentation for the SEA, sign daily entries in the electromechanical journal and submit it for signature to the senior mechanic;

– to organize technical training in SEA and ESA for crew members of the TE service;

- accept from his predecessor in the prescribed manner (based on reports responsible persons command staff, the act of acceptance and delivery, approved by the chief mechanic, fixing the acceptance and delivery in the electromechanical journal) SEA and ESA, spare parts, tools, inventory and technical documentation;

- when the ship is under repair, monitor compliance with the electrical safety rules when supplying ships under construction and repair, control the compliance of the voltage supplied from the shore with the parameters of the ship's network, make sure that the shipyard grounded the ship's hull when docking the ship.

Second electrician is responsible for the reliable operation and TS of the main generators, propulsion motors and main electric drives serving the power plant, the central control post of the power plant, the electric drive of the steering gear, autopilot, emergency and fire pumps, electric propulsion panels and an auxiliary power plant, engine telegraph, control posts, ESA and vessel motion control; in charge of the electrical workshop and electrical storage rooms. He is obliged, with the permission of the senior electrician, to turn the propulsion motors and main generators after the repair and maintenance work has been completed; keep a log of measurements of insulation resistance.

Third electrician responsible for the reliable operation of auxiliary and emergency generators, electrical equipment of deck mechanisms, thruster, electric drives of auxiliary mechanisms of the engine room, electrical part of boiler automation.

Fourth electrician Responsible for reliable operation and vehicle cable network, electric drives of auxiliary mechanisms that were not included in the management of the second and third electricians, electric fans, converters, lighting, including emergency lighting, running lights, searchlights, typhons and batteries. He is obliged to charge the batteries in a timely manner, in accordance with the instructions, keep a battery log and monitor the correct use of electric lighting.

The second, third and fourth electromechanics are obliged by their management:

- to eliminate personally or with the involvement of ship's specialists the identified defects;

– supervise the work of ship specialists assigned to them, ensuring the safe organization of work;

- draw up repair lists, control the quality of work performed by shore and ship specialists;

– draw up requests for material and technical supply and keep records of spare parts and tools.

Senior electrician is obliged to carry out maintenance of all SEA and means of internal telephone communication, and electricians of the first and second class– take part in the maintenance and repair of the entire SEA.

The senior electrician is in charge of the electrical workshop and electrical storage rooms, ensures proper storage, accounting and expenditure of material and technical supplies for the electrical part.

On ships without electric propulsion, the electric group is headed by an electrician or the first electrician, if several electricians are provided for on the ship's staff list. The second electrician is subordinate to the first electrician and, if necessary, replaces him. Supervisory duties between the first and second electromechanics are distributed by the senior mechanic.

The electrician (first electrician) reports to the chief engineer and heads the electrical group on the ship. The senior electrician and electricians of the 1st and 2nd classes are subordinate to the electromechanic. If necessary, the senior electrician replaces the electromechanic, and the 1st class electrician replaces the senior electrician.

Electrician is responsible for reliable operation, correct fuel and technical condition of the entire EHS and ESA and control, means of on-board communication and signaling, as well as power supplies for electro-radio navigation devices. The duties of an electromechanic correspond to the duties of a senior electromechanic listed above, in addition, he must:

- to eliminate personally or with the involvement of ship's specialists the revealed defects of the SEA and ESA;

- in the event of a threat of an accident, the EEA and ESA immediately report to the chief engineer, taking appropriate measures;

- prepare the electrical equipment of cargo gear before cargo operations, check the electrical equipment of the steering gear, anchor-mooring gear, boat and trawl winches before the vessel arrives at the port and leaves it, and report on readiness to the chief engineer and the watch officer;

- immediately appear on the call of the engineer on duty or on the call of the watch officer.

The electrician may turn off the responsible STS with the knowledge and permission of the engineer on duty, except in cases where delay may cause an accident to the ship or an accident.

The electrician indicates the place of keeping watch to the chief electrician and electricians when the vessel passes narrowness, enters and leaves the port and during mooring operations.

On ships where the position of an electromechanic is not provided, the chief electrician and electricians are subordinate to the second mechanic.

On the ships of the fleet of the fishing industry, the largest in composition electrotechnical group consisting of 12-15 people have floating plants. On floating bases, this group consists of 10-12 people, of which 4 are command staff specialists. Large autonomous freezing trawlers employ 5-6 electrical specialists. On ships of the SRTM, ST type, as a rule, one electrician works. Norwegian-built vessels of the MTF type (small fillet trawler) entering the fishing fleet are serviced by two electricians. On small fishing boats staffing There are no electrical specialists, their duties are performed by a mechanic.

Wide spectrum composition of vessels, the features of their technological regimes, the intended purpose, the constant participation of electrical specialists in the performance of voyage tasks (sub-watch on the factory conveyor) impose their own characteristics on the nature of the duties of electrical specialists in the fishing industry fleet.

Specific duties of persons of electrical personnel, the procedure for their interaction with persons of the watch service, persons responsible for the management of ships technical means, and persons using electrical equipment for their intended purpose are determined by the Charter of Service on the Vessels of the Fishing Industry Fleet and job descriptions. The charter provides for the positions of senior electrician (first electrician), second, third and fourth electrician with the appropriate division of management and duties, as well as senior electrician and electrician.

It should be noted that the draft of the new Charter of Service on Fisheries Vessels Russian Federation in addition to these positions, there is also a position of a second electrician for ship automation, who, if necessary, replaces the senior electrician, and the second electrician, if necessary, replaces the second electromechanic for ship automation.

The work of a ship's electrician is no less responsible than the work of the captain or chief engineer. The electrician is responsible for the correct technical operation and condition of the ship's electrical equipment, all automation equipment, electrical networks and switchgears, telephone communications, emergency power supplies and other electrical appliances.

Among other things, the electrician is obliged to draw up a work plan for the ship's electrical equipment; ensure the preparation of applications, the receipt and accounting of spare parts and logistics for the electrical part, and much more.

Ivan Badylo, an electrician with 13 years of experience, tells about his work at sea to the Morskaya Pravda/The Maritime Telegraph newspaper:

“The very first duty of an electrician is lighting, so that everything works and shines, especially at night. Because if at night the illumination is not complete, there are extinguished light bulbs in the chain, then this is a poor supply of supplies or the electrician is overgrown with laziness. And sometimes this leads to a stoppage of loading or unloading, and in the worst case, to emergencies at night. So do not be lazy, electrician!

Wherever wires fit, or there is a hint of electricity, this is all the work of an electromechanic. If the dishwasher stops working, the stove or the washing machine, they immediately call me: change the light bulb, make an extension cord, change the outlet, if the switch does not work, the kettle, hair dryer, etc. Sometimes you have to line up everyone. I had 3 laundries on the last ship, so there was enough work.”

Container ship - a complete hassle for an electromechanic

“I have worked on containers, bulk carriers, tankers and offshore. The most calm and pleasant work was on tankers. The container is a lot of hassle for an electrician. I worked for 5 years on container ships and was responsible as an electrician for all refrigerated containers. I had to understand everything, to assist the mechanics in troubleshooting, as often the problem is thrown off on me.

For the first time in his position, he went to a container ship in 2004. The ship was heavy. All bad or newly minted electricians were exiled there. It certainly was a good school of life. Before becoming an electrical engineer, he had one contract as a cadet and two contracts as an assistant electrical engineer. In general, I entered the academy as a mechanic, but I missed one point, and they threw me into an electromechanic, there was a shortage. But now, looking at the path traveled, I think “it’s good that I didn’t become a mechanic.”

Alone in the field is also a warrior!

“Now, due to the crisis, an electrician's assistant is a great luxury. And if there is no assistant, it's generally tin. For the last 4 years I have not had an assistant, but the best assistants were Ukrainians.

The biggest difficulty is that I am alone on the ship, I have no one to ask, no one to consult with. Miners or sailors can help to do some physically hard work, carry something, but in principle I am alone. At any time you can call that there was some kind of problem. And you have to go do something, even if it's night and I'm sleeping.

Force majeure is a common thing in the work of an electrician

“There are enough different emergencies in the work of an electromechanic, especially on container ships. These wonderful container ships are a complete force majeure. Especially when containers are being loaded, everyone is running around, and then the crane suddenly stops. And all at once to the electromechanic.

There was another case when the anchor could not be lifted. It was also on a container ship. We came to Africa, we had to wait a day for the call, and we were at anchor. Then the wind picked up, a storm began, this is exactly where the Indian Ocean mixes with the Atlantic, and it constantly storms. We need to raise the anchor, but the winches can't cope because of the strong wind. And again the electromechanic is called. I saw that the current was high, the winches were roaring… Everything turned out to be very simple. The chain was too heavy. It was necessary to increase the speed, giving more travel to the main engine, so that the load would drop and the chain tension would loosen. After that, it turned out to choose an anchor. It seems like an emergency situation, but it is solved in a matter of minutes. After such cases, they even begin to appreciate you more. And loading is time, money, this is a charter and, first of all, the reputation of the company.”

An electrician is a non-stop job!

“The electrician works non-stop and it's a misconception that we don't do anything on the ship. There is no time to fry kebabs or something else. They used to roast when they were at anchor and waiting for work, or they were standing at the pier.

All the work of an electromechanic consists of small tasks. Everything that does not work, but there are wires, everything belongs to me. The boats do not descend - also to me. The main thing is to do everything gradually, and not accumulate like a snowball, because then you don’t know what to do first.

In Norwegian companies, every 3 months, all household appliances are checked, i.e. I have to go through the list and check all appliances: every kettle, vacuum cleaner, drill, etc., because inspections often come and ask for this list, check, whether there are stickers on the instruments with the date of the last inspection.

What is the big difference between the merchant fleet and offshore is the duration of the contracts. But short offshore flights also have their disadvantages, from too frequent flights and intensive work non-stop, seven days a week, body fatigue increases, you need rest.”

Never be ashamed to ask for help!

“If I don’t know how to deal with a problem, I start to think - I put around diagrams, I try to understand and figure it out. If it is urgent, and I really can’t cope, I go to the chief mechanic and say that we need the help of the service. It is clear that you will not handle some kind of nonsense, but if it is something serious, then you should not be ashamed to write to the service and get some new knowledge and use technical support. On recent ships, I have contacted OEMs directly for technical assistance with troubleshooting and repairs, but the Chief Engineer should always be the first to know what is happening on the ship.”

The absence of a competent electron on the ship is a disaster!

“If there is an inexperienced, incompetent electrician on the ship, then he will simply lose his job, he will be written off. And for a ship, the absence of a normal electromechanic is a disaster!

I remember such an incident on the first flights. We are leaving the port... The chief engineer, the engineer on duty and I are in control of the situation. And in the car, one compressor worked poorly, and the second did not work at all. It turned out that the automation does not work, and they constantly run and turn it on manually. They've been doing this for two years now. And when I did it, they were very happy. The electromechanic must have an instinct for exactly where to climb and subdue, as well as good luck. After all, no one can know everything anyway, situations can be completely different. Even our teacher at the academy said that we can't teach you everything you might encounter on the courts. There is a self-learning system for this. We are given principles, and then it's up to us, there is literature, there are schemes.

China is power!?

“I had a good lesson when I was still a cadet, and they brought me a Chinese exercise that didn’t work. I climbed into it, and she shied me like that, exactly like that! I then measured the voltage - it was 400 volts DC. After the case when they bring me to repair chargers or other household appliances, I say “Buy a new one - life is more expensive!”.

Electromechanics can do anything!

The advantage of my work is that a mechanic cannot come to the bridge at any time, but I can, at any time, come there, drink coffee, or come to the galley for an apple, and at the same time check whether everything is in order, whether everything works. An electrician can be anytime and anywhere he wants. The rest are not eligible.

I obey the chief mechanic and for some reason also the second mechanic according to the rules, but in principle he does not interfere in my work.

I like my job. And the fewer Russian speakers, the better. It's easier for me to work. I worked a lot with the Poles. They do not like Russian speakers, although they treated me normally. Now I work mainly with Europeans, Indians, Filipinos.

They feed us well too. Meals depend on the chef and the captain. I even had a captain order lobsters on one container ship. And in Ecuador, the captain sent a cook with a messman to the local bazaar, and they bought large shrimp tails for $ 4 per kilogram. Once in the offshore there was the best food, but for the last couple of years they have been saving on everything, more than half of the ships are mothballed. And contracts increase, and salaries are no longer those that were.

The ship's electrician is professional master who knows how to handle electrical systems of different levels of complexity. The task of the employee is the repair and maintenance of this kind of structures.

What is the salary of ship electricians in different countries peace?

Monetary remuneration of a specialist in the Russian Federation

An experienced marine electrician is always in demand in the fishing and transport fleet.

It is here that a qualified worker can earn good money (from 40,000 rubles).

The oil and gas sector is especially valued, which has high level profitability.


average salary electromechanics on the ship reaches 42,000 rubles (about 724 US dollars).

As a rule, official vacancies in this specialty are open in regions that have access to the sea.

For clarity, let's consider the income of craftsmen in the context of some territories of the country, namely:

  • Kaliningrad region - 20,000 rubles;
  • Republic of Buryatia - 20,790 rubles;
  • Arkhangelsk region - 23,000 rubles;
  • Irkutsk region - 24,150 rubles;
  • Kamchatka Territory - 40,000 rubles;
  • Astrakhan territory - 100,000 rubles.

In most cases, vacancies on foreign ships are paid much better.


Therefore, if an employee carefully analyzes open positions, he will definitely find highly paid places:


Financing of masters in Ukraine

Odessa is an important port for Ukraine, where the recently opened Euroterminal is successfully operating.

The most demanded and popular company that provides seafarers with jobs is Tavrida Shipping.

Employment organization for electricians on short-range and long-distance navigation is also an opportunity for organization.

Employment in Russian-speaking crews promises qualified specialists up to $5,000 per month.

The average salary of an electromechanic on foreign ships is 59,280 hryvnia (approximately 2117 bucks).


For clarity, consider the revenue of professionals who are employed in various maritime companies:

  • container ship is recruiting 3 electricians who will be ready to sign a contract for 6 months. The year of construction of the vessel is 2002. The specialist receives here from 4000 to 4500 USD per month;
  • Heavy lift vessel. It is very important for a professional to know English. Deadweight is 32,000 units. The master earns 4000 bucks here. At the same time, the company provides additional bonuses based on the results of the flight outcome;
  • vessel in AHTS format pays for electro-mechanical work $130 per month;
  • Oil rig/platform. With excellent ownership English language a specialist can count on a salary of 250 bucks a day. In this case, the specialist must be ready to sign a contract for at least 4 months;
  • LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas carrier). Boarding the ship is scheduled for February 15, 2018. The employer offers the expert a salary of 6000-6500 dollars per month. Responsibilities include repair and maintenance of complex electrical systems.

A feature of the work of electromechanics in Ukraine is that there are practically no domestic companies on the market.

Thus, specialists are forced to adapt to the conditions of foreign organizations.

The only difference is the military masters who serve on the frigate "Pyotr Sahaidachny".


Frigate "Pyotr Sahaidachny"

So, for example, an electrician with a high rank earns here from UAH 15,000 / USD 535+ surcharges for going to sea, etc.
