Since successful ships transportation depends on economic, continous, efficient, safe and environmental operation of the systems and machines, today, to prepare the ships systems and machines for operation, as presented in the table below, by means of automation system, is important. Figure below represents a typical fuel oil separator with components which should be prepared previously before starting. Algorithms used to prepare ship systems and machinery for operation should cover all the works and procedures in sequence that must be done before commissioning. Therefore, a well-designed Engine Room Simulator should have the capability and capacity to train Marine Engineers in preparing the systems and machines correctly and safely for a voyage as soon as possible.
