Four vessels are transhippers, with fully manned Engine
room, and all main & auxilliary machinery operating all the
time. These vessels are used to tranship iron ore to big bulk
carriers. The trainees get to actually work on these ships on main and aux:
machinery, keep engine room watches, and trace all the pumping systems.
By the end of this practical training they are fully capable of
carrying out the maintenance work on the engine room machineries, and also
are conversant with watch keeping routine.
In the Western India Shipyard the trainees get to learn the repairs
and maintenance work carried out on a ship in Dry Dock.
In Goa Shipyard Ltd, the trainees get to see new constructions, Engine
installation & alignment. Also the ships in various stages of
construction where they can see all the internals of the tanks and ship
structure.
A pratical test in given to the trainees at the end of each rotation.
Having gone through a thorough practical traininig in the Engine rooms of
three different ships, having different engines, the trainees gain lot of
practical knowledge and are competent and confident of handling routine
maintenance jobs on the ships from day one of their joining as Jr.
