Kelly Gordon engine room checks are crucial to vessel safety. It is one of many standard operating procedure that are a must, no exceptions. It is vital for safe work practice. #maintenance #sop #engineroomchecks #engineering #operatingprocedures

Viewpont: This month we get to the how-to part of using an assist boat. Keep in mind that I’m offering the perspective of a conventional tug operator, moving barges that are un-ballasted when not carrying cargo. There is still applicability to ATBs, however. #maritimeindustry #tug #vessels #workboat

This paper gives a good but general outline of the RCM process, without much detailing. However, the authors missed the most important step in the RCM process which is to select the right maintenance strategy, which in turn is dependent on the clear understanding of the behaviour and classification of failure modes. I feel that without this most important step, any RCM exercise will only give sub-optimal results. #RCM #reliability #reliabilitycentredmaintenance #maintenance #engineering

SCHOTTEL is to equip four new 1810-series ASD stock tugs from the Dutch Damen Group with the SCHOTTEL RudderPropeller type SRP 270. The new multi-purpose tugs will have a bollard pull of 30 tonnes each and ensure excellent manoeuvrability with a compact size of just 18.25 metres in length and a beam of 10.23 metres. Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/eMz4WGKd “Damen has designed the 1810 series with a specific focus on sustainability. In addition to ensuring low noise emissions and vibrations, the 1810 design features an electric power generation system which eliminates the need for a third diesel generator to provide power while the vessel is sailing. This further reduces fuel consumption and improves the tug’s sustainability performance”, explains Siebe Cieraad, Product Portfolio Manager Tugs at Damen.  More News At Workboat365.com Subscribe To The Workboat365 LinkedIn Weekly News https://lnkd.in/eMY2JUnT #tug #tugs #propulsionsystems #propulsion #shipbuilding #commercialmarine #maritimeindustry #maritime #marine #marineindustry

**** Application of Reliability Centered Maintenance for Tugboat **** #tugboat #marineengineer #RCM #reliabilityengineering

Parable of the tugboat and the lighthouse. The tugboat can save ships. The lighthouse can save ships. The way they choose to do this are drastically different from one another. The TUG BOAT goes out to push and pull an individual boat, expending an enormous amount of energy and effort. It often runs to the ragged edge in order to get itself AND the single ship to shore/safety. The tug boat is often left battered and beaten - wearing itself down in the process. The LIGHTHOUSE on the other hand, simply stands fixed and shines it’s bright light. No pushing. No pulling. Every boat sees the light and CHOOSES whether or not to heed the warning or ignore it. The LIGHTHOUSE stands firm, shining it’s brilliant light, day and night, in calm seas and rough. I spent years as a tug boat but strive to be a lighthouse every day.
