Merchant ships
engaged in private and mass transportation are equipped with various machinery
and systems according to the characteristics of the cargo and navigation
environment. The cargo carrying capability of the ship is possible by the
operation of these machines and systems according to certain rules. The steel
shell of the ship is a structure that protects the load, system and machinery
against sea conditions and sea resistance. The organs that give it life are
machines and systems. Although there are various systems and machines in
Merchant Ships, the electrical system, main propulsion system, rudder system and
their sub-systems are of vital importance. In the absence of one of these, the
identity of the ship will be lost and it may even fall into dangerous
situations. The systems and machines on the ships can be grouped into three
categories as those that generate power, provide movement, and provide support
services. A well-designed ERS should enable these systems and machines, which
are connected to automation, to be used at the desired level and easily, to
provide the necessary warnings and alarms, and to be used within the safe
working limits. Figures 1-28 represents few applications on a typical ERS
system designed with the right algorithms which is extremely important for the
training of the Marine Engineers in charge of the watch in terms of the safety of
the ship.
