How many main engines do we have, what type and location?
These engines are crucial for the propulsion of the vessel.
How many combining gears do we have and location?
The combining gears are essential for transmitting speed from the engine into torque.
What is the purpose of the combining gear?
Transmits speed from the engine into torque to the shaft
This is vital for the effective operation of the propulsion system.
How many Line Shaft Bearings (LSB) do we have?
26
LSBs support the weight of the shaft and prevent bowing.
How many Thrust bearings do we have?
4
Thrust bearings transmit power from the impeller to the hull.
What is the purpose of a Line Shaft Bearing?
Holds the weight of the shaft up to prevent bowing
This is critical for maintaining the integrity of the propulsion system.
What is the purpose of a Thrust Bearing?
Transmits the power from the impeller to the hull to move the ship
This function is essential for the ship’s movement.
What is CODAG operations?
Combined Diesel and Gas Turbine operation
This operation mode optimizes fuel efficiency and power output.
What is the max RPM of a MPDE?
1050 RPM
This is the operational limit for the main propulsion diesel engines.
How many Splitter Gears do we have and where are they?
Splitter gears are used to manage shaft configurations.
What is the purpose of the Splitter Gears?
Takes 2 shafts and splits into 4 shafts, outboard shafts are steerable and inboard shafts are boost shafts
This enhances maneuverability and propulsion efficiency.
