(i) type of ship:
(ii) type and condition of the ship's machinery:
[1984 Ed.
(iii) special modes of operation dictated by conditions such as weather, ice, contaminated water, shallow water, emergency conditions, or the need for damage containment or pollution abatement:
(iv) qualifications and experience of the watch:
(v) requirements for the safety of life, ship, cargo and port, and for protection of the environment:
(vi) need for observance of international, national and local regulations: (vii) need for maintaining the normal operations of the ship.
(b) Under the direction of the chief engineer officer, the engineer officer in charge of the watch shall be responsible for the inspection, operation and testing, as required, of all machinery and equipment under his responsibility. The engineer officer in charge of a watch is the chief engineer officer's representative and his primary responsibility, at all times, shall be the safe and efficient operation and upkeep of machinery affecting the safety of the ship.
(c) The chief engineer officer shall, in consultation with the master, determine in advance the ship's needs during the intended voyage, taking into consideration the requirements for fuel, water, lubricants, chemicals, expendable and other spare parts, tools, supplies and any other requirements.
Operation.
(a) The engineer officer in charge of the watch shall ensure that the established watchkeeping arrangements are maintained. Under his general direction engine room ratings, if forming part of the watch, shall be required to assist in the safe and efficient operation of the propulsion machinery and the auxiliary equipment.
(b) At the commencement of the engineering watch, the current operational parameters and condition of all machinery shall be verified. Any machinery not functioning properly, expected to malfunction or requiring special service, shall be noted along with any action already taken. Plans shall be made for any further action which may be required.
(c) The engineer officer in charge of the watch shall ensure that the main propulsion plant and auxiliary systems are kept under constant surveillance. Inspections are made of the machinery and steering gear spaces at suitable intervals and appropriate action is taken to remedy any malfunction discovered.
(d) When the machinery spaces are in the manned condition, the engineer officer in charge of the watch shall at all times be capable of readily operating the propulsion equipment in response to needs for changes in direction or speed. When the machinery spaces are in the periodic un-manned condition, the designated duty engineer officer in charge of the watch shall be immediately available and on call to attend the machinery spaces.
(e) All bridge orders shall be promptly executed. Changes in direction or speed of the main propulsion unit shall be recorded except in respect of a ship or class of ship specified as being a ship or class of ship which need not comply with such requirement because the size and characteristics of the ship make such recording impracticable. The engineer officer in charge of the watch shall ensure that the main propulsion unit controls, when in the manual mode of operation, are continuously attended under standby or manoeuvring conditions.
(f) The engineer officer in charge of the watch shall not be assigned or undertake any duties which would interfere with his supervisory duty in respect of the main propulsion system and its ancillary equipment and he shall ensure that the main propulsion system and auxiliary equipment are kept under constant surveillance until he is properly relieved.
(g) Due attention shall be paid to the maintenance and support of all machinery, including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, their control apparatus and associated safety equipment, all accommodation service systems equipment and the recording of stores and spare gear usage.
