国际航运公会发布有关轮机室安全的重要指南
与船舶桥楼(Bridge)相比，全球商船机舱(Engine Room)的设计、复杂程度和布局差异要大得多。
但直到今天，市面上还没有专门的安全船舶机舱操作指南。
国际航运公会(ICS)日前出版了《ICS船舶机舱程序指南》 (ICS Engine Room ProceduresGuide)，业已解决了这一长期困扰行业的难题。
该指南在船舶机舱程序方面提供了权威和全面的指导，在继续保护环境的同时，确保船舶机舱的安全运作和管理。
参考国际认可的《ICS船舶桥楼程序指南》(ICS Bridge Procedures Guide)，这一新出版的重要刊物中的指南适用于所有类型的商船，并将成为轮机长、船舶机舱其他成员、航运公司以及培训机构的宝贵工具。
它也将作为一个重要的参考工具，在全球范围内加强以往业内的最佳做法。
“船舶机舱是一个复杂的环境，在这里即使是一个小错误，也可能会造成严重的后果。”
在ICS担任高级技术顾问和项目负责人的苏尼尔·克里斯纳库玛(Sunil Krishnakumar)说到。
“有了在简单但至关重要的程序方面的清晰信息，按照《船舶机舱程序指南》的指导就可以最大程度上避免数百万美元的损失，更重要的是避免生命上损失。”
“该指南是在行业各部门专家小组的帮助下制定的。我们都知道，即使是进行基本操作，船舶机舱里仍然有机会发生严重事故。因此，这个关于船舶机舱管理的最新实践指南，规范了这些基础操作，并有助于进一步改进船上安全标准、环境表现以及对海事组织规章的遵守。”
《ICS船舶机舱程序指南》列出机舱常规程序，以及包括有助于船舶机舱工作的清单。
它就安全及环保的机舱操作及维修提供明确指引，符合并采纳了国际海事组织(IMO)在相关方面的建议。
《ICS轮机室程序指南》可以在ICS出版社以155英镑的价格购买。
ICS建议每艘商船都应配备该份指南。

ICS launches essential Guidance for Engine Room Safety
The design, complexity and arrangement of engine rooms across the global shipping fleet vary far more widely than for bridges, and yet until today there has been no dedicated guidance for safe engine room operations.
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has met this challenge and published the ICS Engine Room Procedures Guide.
Unique in the industry, the Guide provides authoritative and comprehensive guidance on engine room procedures, to ensure that ships’ engine rooms are operated and managed safely while at the same time continuing to protect the environment.
Modelled on the globally recognised ICS Bridge Procedures Guide, the guidance in this important new publication is relevant for all types of merchant ship and will be an invaluable tool for Chief Engineers and other members of the engineering team, as well as shipping companies and training institutions.
It also operates as an essential reference tool which reinforces established best practice throughout the global industry.
“Engine rooms are complex environments where even minor mistakes can have serious consequences,”
says Sunil Krishnakumar, Senior Technical Adviser at ICS and project leader. “
With clear information on simple yet vital procedures, following the guidance in the Engine Room Procedures Guide can avoid costly damages running into millions - and more importantly loss of life.
“The Guide has been created with the help of an expert panel from all sectors of the industry. We know that serious incidents still occur in engine rooms, even during basic procedures. This new best practice guidance on engine room management sets down basic procedures and should therefore help to further improve on board safety standards, environmental performance and compliance with IMO regulations.”
The Engine Room Procedures Guide sets out routine engine room procedures and also includes useful checklists for the ship’s engineering team.
It provides clear guidance on safe and environmentally responsible engine room operation and maintenance, supporting internationally agreed standards and recommendations adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
It is recommended that a copy is carried on board every merchant ship.
The Engine Room Procedures Guide can be purchased at £155 from ICS Publications.
