Bilge SystemBilge System
Bilge SystemBasic requirement is to provide effective drainage to all dry spaces and at the same time prevent water from entering the spaces through this system.Discharge of oily water from machinery spaces is to comply with MARPOL Annex 1Oily water is treated in an oily-water separator before being allowed to be discharged.Discharge water must be monitored with purity not to exceed ppm set by MARPOL.
Bilge SystemBilge main diameter, dm
L = length of shipB = Breadth D = Depth Branch bilge main diameter, dbl = length of compartment(mm)(mm)
Bilge SystemBilge pump capacity, Q
Two bilge pumps are requiredSuctions are arranged such that water can be pumped out when ship is inclined 5Arrangement must be such that water cannot pass from sea or ballast system into dry spaces through the bilge system

Oily-water Separator
Ballast SystemBallast System
Ballast SystemFor safe operation, at least two ballast pumps are to be connected to ballast tanks.Stripping eductor can also be used for emptying the bilges in cargo holds with 2 non-return valves between hold and systemShip side valve material must not of grey cast iron and to direct mechanical manual operate
Air and Sounding SystemsPurposesto secure ventilation of tanks, cofferdam and tunnels to prevent over-pressurizing and vacuum (air pipes)to ascertain the level of liquid in tanks, cofferdam and tunnels (Sounding pipes)Vent pipes need to prevent flooding of spaces through their upper endsVent pipes need to safely prevent flammable liquids or vapours due to their fire hazards
Air and Sounding SystemsMachinery SpacesHeavy fuel oil overflow tank has short self-closing type sounding pipeHFO overflow tank air pipe is led to open deck as required.Lubricating oil sump tank air pipe may end inside machinery space but away from ignition sources
Air and Sounding SystemsMachinery SpacesAir or overflow pipes internal are are normally required to be 1.25 times the area of respective filling pipes for a tank.Velocity in the air pipe is not to exceed 4 m/s when using one pump for one tank.

Fire-fighting System
Fire-Fighting Systems
Three groups:Fire MainSeawater as fire extinguishing mediumAt least two fire pumps and are located in two different compartmentsAn international shore connection is provided at port and starboard for external water supplySystem is tested with at least streams of water directed from one fire pump.Pressure relief valve is fitted to mains to protect sudden over-pressure.
Fire-Fighting Systems
Three groups:Carbon Dioxide systemDry fire protectionUsed in compartments that have potential for fire: engine room, emergency generator room, paint locker and galley hoodSystem is equipped with audio and visual alarm to alert personnel to evacuatePrior to CO2 release, ventilation fans and fire damper to be shut.
Fire-Fighting Systems
Three groups:Sprinkle systemWet fire protection mainly for accommodation areaSystem is filled with fresh water and pressurized by compressed airSubsequently, water is supplied from fire mainSprinkle and fire main systems are separated by an alarm check valve.When the pressure in the sprinkle drops below the fire main fire pressure, the fire main pressure will overcome the internal pressure of the valve lift and automatically push open to accommodate the fire main.

Compressed Air System
Compressed Air System
Normally three systemsStarting airService airControl airRequire two main compressors to charge two air receivers from atmospheric within one hourCapacity of receivers sufficient to produce:12 starts for reversible engines6 starts for non-reversible engines3 starts for auxiliary engines
Compressed Air System
No connections to other machinery between air compressors and main air receivers Emergency air compressor can be diesel driven or power supplied from emergency generatorPressure reduction stations and filters are required to be duplicatesSafety relief valves are fitted at receivers and set at 10% above operating pressureCompressed air line is classes as Class II due to high pressure.

Steam SystemSteam with pressure above 7 bar or temperature above 170C are considered Class II piping.Steam with pressure above 16 bar or temperature above 300C is of Class I piping. With respect to materials for valves and fittings in Class II piping system, grey cast iron may not be used up to ND 200, pressure up to 13 bar and temperature up to 250C
