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.
