Beating the summer heat - how to avoid dehydration onboard! In a recent publication, North P&I Club focused on the importance of keeping hydrated, as dehydration can have a serious impact on the body function and could even cause kidney failure.

As a basic guide, most people need about 1.5 to 2 liters of fluid each day, which is about 8 to 10 glasses. Except from water, hydration can be achieved also from other drinks, such as milk and fruit juice, and fruit and vegetables, such as cucumber, lettuce and tomatoes.

The main sign of dehydration is thirst, the Club notes, but good indicators are also the number of times you go to the toilet and the color of your urine, it should be pale yellow. If you don’t need to go often, you only pass a little urine each time and it's dark in colour, it’s likely that you’re dehydrated.

Other signs of dehydration include:• headache• feeling weak and dizzy• tiredness • dry mouth and lips and eyes• feeling confused• cramps

RecommendationsThe Club cited the following advice:

• If you think that you may be dehydrated, you need to rehydrate your body by drinking fluid. For mild dehydration, the best way to hydrate is by drinking water. It’s better to drink little and often rather than trying to drink a lot all in one go because this may make you vomit.• If you have more serious dehydration that’s caused by diarrhea or vomiting, you’ll also be losing important salts and sugars from your body. A good way to replace these is with rehydration sachets, which you add to water.• If you have more severe dehydration in addition to the above mentioned signs you may also notice a weak or rapid pulse, low levels of consciousness and seizures. If there are signs of severe dehydration immediate medical advice must be sought.

India has the largest postal network in the world with over 155015 post offices. A single post office on an average serves a population of 7175 people.

Shampoo was invented in India, not the commercial liquid ones but the method by use of herbs. The word 'shampoo' itself has been derived from the Sanskrit word champu, which means to massage.

Be it because of religious reasons or personal choices or both, around 20-40% of Indians are vegetarians, making it the largest vegetarian-friendly country in the world.

India’s population is growing faster than ever and it’s estimated that more than half of the population is under the age of 25, which makes them one of the youngest populations in the world.

In total, there are at least 454 living languages spoken daily in India, and the government has recognized 16 official languages! Some of the most widely spoken languages include Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Punjabi, and Sanskrit.

India has the largest amount of voters worldwide, and they’re considered to be the largest successful demo-cracy in the world.

Yoga has been practiced for more than 5000 years, and in the recent decades, the global interest in this form of healing and activity has massively increased around the world. Nowadays you can find yoga places in almost every single country.

In the Hindu religion, the River Ganges is considered incredibly sacred. The holy beliefs associated with this river consecrate it as a physical Goddess; otherwise known as Gaṅgā or ‘Gangaji’. She is seen as a white woman, wearing a crown whilst riding on her pet crocodile.

With 14.2% of the country's population being from the Muslim community, India happens to have the most number of mosques in the world. Some of the famous ones being Jama Masjid (New Delhi), Mecca Masjid (Hyderabad), Taj-Ul-Masjid (Bhopal), etc.

Roopkund - Locally was known as the mystery lake or the skeleton lake, Uttarakhand's Roopkund is infamous for hundreds of human skeletons found at the bottom of the lake and in the surrounding areas.

Did you know that Hindus consider cows to be holy and sacred? Killing a cow is considered to be a felony and can result in jail if it’s not by accident. While many other countries eat cows regularly, this could lead to imprisonment here.

Phenol is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is vola-tile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (−C6H5) bonded to a hydroxy group (−OH). It is mildly acidic and requires careful handling due to its propensity for causing chemical burns.

Phenol was discovered in 1834 by extraction (in impure form) from coal tar. Coal tar remained the primary source until the development of the petrochemical industry. In 1841, the French chemist obtained phenol in pure form.

DANGER ! POISON !During loading operations in cold weather, PHENOL vapour will be released into the atmosphere and can fall as snow and you need a stout heart under your PPE.If Phenol falls on 4 square inches of your skin you may die within 30 minutes to several hours.

Properties and ToxicityClear white to pink color, sweet sickening tarry odor, melting point is 40.5 degC, density: 1.07 g/cm³. Absorbs water from air. Soluble in water, ethanol, ether. Highly poisonous. Can be fatal by skin/eye contact, inhalation or ingestion.The toxic effect of phenol on the central nervous system, causes sudden collapse and loss of consciousness in both humans and animals; a state of cramping precedes these symptoms because of the motor activity controlled by the central nervous system. Phenol and its vapors are corrosive to the eyes, the skin, and the respiratory tract. Its corrosive effect on skin and mucous membranes is due to a protein-degenerating effect. Repeated or prolonged skin contact with phenol may cause dermatitis, or even second and third-degree burns. Inhalation of phenol vapor may cause lung edema. The substance may cause harmful effects on the central nervous system and heart, resulting in dysrhythmia, seizures, and coma. The kidneys may be affected as well. Long-term or repeated exposure of the substance may have harmful effects on the liver and kidneys. Since phenol is absorbed through the skin relatively quickly, systemic poisoning can occur in addition to the local caustic burns. Resorptive poisoning by a large quantity of phenol can occur even with only a small area of skin, rapidly leading to paralysis of the central nervous system and a severe drop in body temperature.

First AidRapid and immediate decontamination is critical! Antidote: PEG 300/400 polyethylene glycol (for skin) or 70:30 PEG / methylated spirit mixture swab with cotton. Chemical burns from skin exposures can be decontaminated by washing with polyethylene glycol, (PEG), isopropyl alcohol, or perhaps even copious amounts of water. Removal of contaminated clothing is required, as well as immediate hospital treatment for large splashes.

PPEWhen directly handling - Full protective clothing, SCBA set. When not directly handling – Splash suit, neoprene gloves, boots, chemical googles/face shield.

Where used?Today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum. It is an important industrial commodity as a precursor to many materials and useful compounds. It is primarily used to synthesize plastics and related materials. Phenol and its chemical derivatives are essential for production of polycarbonates, epoxies, Bakelite, nylon, detergents, herbicides and numerous pharmaceutical drugs. Phenol was once widely used as an antiseptic.

ASM committed to save lives at sea,

As from March this year ASM decided to include in its procedures, a requirement to participate in AMVER. AMVER is a worldwide voluntary ship reporting system operated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to promote safety of life and property at sea.

On 19th April Chem Sirius responded to a Mayday call from sailing boat Sam Sara and in coordination with USCG evacuated one crew member. The saved crew member was accommodate on board Chem Sirius till her arrival to Antwerp when he was met by his family and repatriated.

We hereby acknowledge the efforts of Master and crew of Chem Sirius in their efforts to save lives at sea and congra-tulate them on job well done we can all be proud of.

ASM Maritime cares not only for our Seafarers, but also for their local communities. We are proud to share our first volunteering event in Manila, Philippines. Together with our seafarers and our dedicated manning agency, Trans-Global, we shared a fun day with the kids of Virlanie foundation. Their smile and enjoyment is the wind for our employees, on board and ashore. Empowering kids around the world is part of our mission and vision as a company.

FOR ENGINEERSDOING BEYOND THE OBVIOUS

FOR ENGINEERS

A cargo ship has a variety of machinery types, which are connected to different piping systems that supply essenti-al oil and water for efficient operation. In tanker ship, the cargo tanks are connected to the pipes, which are used for loading and unloading of cargo.

The important piping system of the ship, such as ballast water system, cargo piping system, bunker piping etc. are provided with hydraulic operated valves to restrict and control the flow of oil/water/cargo through the pipes in a simple, safe and economical way.

The hydraulic operated valves system consists of the fol-lowing essential parts:

1. Hydraulic Power Pack

The hydraulic power unit is a combined system which sup-plies, operates and controls the flow of oil to the hydraulic valves when an open or close signal is given from the en-gine control room or the cargo control room. It consists of the following components:

i. Signal receiverii. Hydraulic tankiii. Pumpsiv. Level gaugesv. Pressure gaugesvi. Alarmsvii. Filters

The power pack will operate the pumps depending on the line pressure and acknowledge the command given from the ECR or CCR to open or shut the valve (Start and Stop Pressure).

2. PumpsThe other important part of the hydraulic operating system are the two pumps fitted with the hydraulic power pack unit. Here, one acts as main and other as a standby pump, with each having a capacity to open or close valves simul-taneously in one minute.

3. AccumulatorsAccumulators are pressure storing devices, which are a part of the hydraulic power pack. The capacity of the accu-mulator should be sufficient to compensate the oil leakage in the hydraulic supply piping system for at least five mi-nutes and supplying oil to operate minimum three largest hydraulic valves in the system to change from shut to open position or vice versa.

4. Actuator

A valve actuator is an assembly of piston and cylinder which operates the valve at the local position. It receives the oil from the hydraulic power pack for operating the valve.

8 Most Common Problems in Hydraulic Operated Remote Valve System on Ships

Page 10: SEAFARERS’ MAGAZINE · 2019-09-23 · MAGAZINE. SEAFARERS' DAY 2019 Chem Rotterdam Chem Antares Chem Stream Chem Taurus Chem Houston Chem Venus cake competition Herewith we would

The most common problem found in a ship’s hydraulic operated remote valve system are:

1. The hydraulic supply pump is not starting

The hydraulic supply pump is the primary source of control for the remote control valves. In case of any problem with one pump, the standby pump must be started to resume the operation, if needed immediately. Following are the indication the set supply pump is not starting:

– No running indication lamp light– Low oil pressure alarm active– Low oil level alarm active

Following are the causes of the pump not working

a. Electrical problem:• Low Voltage• Disconnection of wire• A problem in electric motor

b. Pump problem• Blocked motor• Blocked pump

c. Oil problem:• Leakage of oil• Wrong setting of oil level switch

Troubleshooting the above causes

a. Electrical problem:• Check presence of voltage• Check control place for wire connections• Check motor intensity and winding

b. Pump problem:• Change to stand by pump• Check motor or pump for free revolution• Overhaul motor or pump is necessary

c. Oil Problem:• Check oil level• Check and rectify leakage• Ensure tank level is appropriate• Re-set the oil level switch• Clogged inlet filter (if provided)

2. Clogged Circuit

In case of a clogged circuit, the oil supplied by the correctly operated pump will not reach the valve and hamper the remote operation. Following are the most common causes of a clogged circuit:

a. Impurities:• Use of low-grade oil• Improper cleaning after overhauling

b. Foreign substance:• Access to foreign material during repairs• Access to external substance during oil filling

c. Inefficient Flushing operation

d. Burst filter cartridge

Troubleshooting the above causes

a. Impurities:– Inspection of the whole installation to find a reason for impurity access– Use good quality of hydraulic oil as prescribed by the maker– Ensure to clean the system properly after overhauling

b. Foreign substance:– Ensure to clean the system properly after repairing– Inspect the tank after cleaning for left out rags/clothes

Page 11: SEAFARERS’ MAGAZINE · 2019-09-23 · MAGAZINE. SEAFARERS' DAY 2019 Chem Rotterdam Chem Antares Chem Stream Chem Taurus Chem Houston Chem Venus cake competition Herewith we would

c. Flushing:– Flush the whole installation

d. Burst or clogged filter:– Clean the filter– Change the filter cartridge

3. Unusual Noise from Pump

A working pump has a usual noise when running. An en-gineer officer should know how the regular operating ma-chine (including pumps) sounds. Following are the most common causes of unusual pump sound:

a. air ingress at the suction of the pumpb. damage pump partsc. defective motor-pump coupling

Troubleshooting the above causesa. Air ingress:– Check the tightness of the pump suction circuit– Purge the air from the circuitb. Damage pump parts:– Switch to st. by pump– Overhaul the affected pump– Change the bearingc. Defective motor-pump coupling– Check the coupling for damage– Check the tightness of coupling bolts– Check the motor- pump coupling shaft alignment– Replace coupling, if required

4. Slow valve movementOnce the signal is given to operate a hydraulic valve from ECR or CCR; the valve should fully open or shut in a given time. A delay in the operating timing of the valve is caused by:a. Defective control valve operationb. Clogged flow reducerc. Clogged filtersd. Low oil pressuree. Low oil temperaturef. Damaged valve actuator

Troubleshooting the above causesa. Check control valve operationb. Check flow reducer adjustmentc. Clean the clogged flow reducerd. Clean the clogged filtere. Check and maintain oil pressuref. Check and maintain oil temperatureg. Preheat the oil in cold weatherh. Check actuator operationi. Check valve torque

5. Jerking valve OperationThe jerking of the hydraulic valve is not suitable for valve itself, and it will also lead to improper valve operation, i.e. delay in opening/closing and pressure surge in the system.

Jerk in the valve is caused by:a. Pressure surgeb. Air in the systemc. Faulty accumulator

d. Faulty actuator

Troubleshooting the above causesa. Carry out air purging of the systemb. Maintain the pressure from the hydraulic power pack unitc. Overhaul the faulty accumulatord. Overhaul the faulty actuator

6. Valve does not shut entirelyA valve needs to shut fully as a partially closed valve may lead to continue in the flow and result in spilling of the fluid. Following are the most common causes of the valve not getting entirely shut:a. Internal leakage of hydraulic actuatorb. Oil pressure too lowc. The problem in relief and check valved. The operation time of the valve is too slow

Troubleshooting the above causesa. Check the pressure on actuator after the operation, if the pressure is decreased quickly, check the seal on the actuator and if required, replace the seal with new ones.b. Maintain the rated pressure in the hydraulic systemc. Check the operation of relief and check valve. Replace with a new one if faultyd. Check the operating time of the valve and adjust the same to the recommended timing prescribed by the maker

7. Valve is not movingIt may happen that a valve which is signalled from the CCR or ECR to open or shut is not moving at all.

This may lead to a spill of fluid (if the valve is stuck in open position) or over-pressurisation of the connected pi-ping system (if the valve is stuck in a closed position). No movement of the valve is caused by:

a. Problem in electric control system– No/low voltage– Disconnection of wires– Problem in electrical parts – switches, solenoid valve etc.

b. Problem in hydraulic actuators, valves or pipes– Coil of the solenoid damaged– Leaking pipes– Clogged flow reducer– Spool of control valve or actuator piston jammed– Foreign body in the valve circuit– Damaged actuator

Page 12: SEAFARERS’ MAGAZINE · 2019-09-23 · MAGAZINE. SEAFARERS' DAY 2019 Chem Rotterdam Chem Antares Chem Stream Chem Taurus Chem Houston Chem Venus cake competition Herewith we would

Troubleshooting the above causes

a. Electric control system:– Check presence of voltage on control circuit– Check each cable terminal connection– Check each electrical apparatus (i.e., switches, solenoid valves etc.)b. Hydraulic Components:– Check solenoid valve operation– Check and adjust flow reducer– Check hydraulic pipes for leakages– Check actuator for correct operation– Check oil pressure

8. Wrong valve position indication

The main purpose of the hydraulic controlled valve is to operate it remotely. The ECR and CCR control panel for such valves are provided with position indicator showing the current position of the valve (Open or Shut). If the indicator is showing a wrong position, it may lead to confusion and operator may proceed not knowing the actual or real position of the valve.

Following are the most common causes for the wrong position indication:a. Defective flow meterb. Defective pressure switch.c. Problem in indicator panel

Troubleshooting the above causes

a. Overhaul the flowmeterb. Check and rectify the fault with pressure switchc. Check and rectify indicator panel problem

These are some of the most common problems which are encountered on the hydraulic remote control valve system provided in ships. However, the above list must not be considered as complete. The engineer’s experience is an essen-tial factor in fault finding and troubleshooting.

All the ship personnel responsible for the operation of the hydraulic controlled remote valve must know the location of all the valves operated by the same. He/she should know how to open/shut them in case the hydraulic system fails to operate.
