Study On Engine Department's Technology & Economical Management

Ship's power plant, which is the heart of a ship, refers to all the machinery, equipments and operating systems that are provided to ensure safe navigation of the ship, trouble-free operation of the equipments,and safety of the personnel and properties on board.With the development of science and technology. main propulsion equipments have been gradually improved.In addition,some additional systems are provided, such as the power station,deck machinery, refrigeration and air condition plant, freshwater generators, drinking water system, steam generating system, ballast and bilge system, and fire fighting system.The management of ship's power plant is also known as the engineering management, which is supervised and controlled by the Engine Department under the direction of the company's engine technology management department of the headquarters.Owing to the complexity of power plant, the changeability of navigational conditions, and the seriousness of accident's consequences, it is essential to explore how to manage the power plant economically and reduce the occurrence of troubles so as to raise the shipping efficiency.As we all know, the management level not only influences largely the reliability of power plant,but also affects directuly the economic operation of a ship.This paper firstly surveys the methods of management to reduce troubles and raise the reliability of power plant, and then explores how to reasonably utilize and distribute the human resource, wealty and material, successfully avoid the waste and unnecessary consumption and reduce the cost in order to ensure the economic running of the ship.
