LESSON 1. THE SHIP’S CREW

NEW WORDS AND WORD COMBINATIONS

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

THE SHIP’S CREW

There is a lot of complex equipment on board modern ships so it is necessary to have skilled crews to operate the ships. The organization of the crew of a cargo ship is changing, but usually one can find at least two departments on such ships: the deck department and the engine department. 

The deck department includes navigators, radio officers, a bosun, sailors and a doctor. We call navigators according to their rank on board ship: the Master (Captain), the Chief Officer (First Mate), the Second Officer (Second Mate), the Third Officer (Third Mate), the Fourth Officer (Fourth Mate). The Master is responsible for the ship, her cargo and the crew. He must be an experienced navigator. 

The Chief Officer is the Master’s main assistant and the head of the Deck Department. He must be always ready to replace the Master and perform his duties. All the navigators must keep watch on the navigating bridge. They may not leave it when on watch. The navigators relieve each other of watch every four hours. Every navigator must know how to define the ship’s position, plot her course on the chart and take bearings. 

Radio officers keep watch in the radio room and are responsible for radio-communications. There are often one or two radio officers on board the ship, but on ships with continuous radio watches there may be even three radio officers. A bosun and sailors must keep the ship’s hull, holds and tackle in good condition. 

The engine department consists of the Chief Engineer, the Second, Third and Fourth Engineers, some motormen and two or three electricians. They keep watch in the engine room and must maintain and repair its equipment. 

Only well-qualified sailors can perform their duties properly that’s why the crews’ training is very important. 

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. Who is the head of the Deck Department?
2. How many departments are there on board ship? What are they? 3. Who is the head of the Engine Department? 4. Who keeps watch on the navigating bridge?
5. Who keeps watch in the radio room? 6. Who keeps watch in the engine room?
7. Why is it necessary to have skilled crews on board ships? 8. What are the duties of the Chief Officer and the Second Engineer? 9. Who is responsible for the ship’s cargo; radio-communications; the engine?

NEW WORDS AND WORD COMBINATIONS

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

VISITING A SHIP

Last month we visited the m/v Seagate a car and passenger ferry which is on regular service between St. Petersburg and Stockholm.

When we approached the ferry some cars were rolling off it. The ship was unloading. We knew that the ferry could carry not only 370 passengers, but also 50 cars at a time.

The officer on watch met us at the gangway and when we got on board we saw that all the sailors were working hard. Some of them were busy with unloading; others were preparing the ferry for the departure.

First of all the officer of the watch took us to the navigating bridge. We found the Third Officer there who was making entries into the log-book. He showed the ship’s navigational equipment to us.

Then we went to the radio room. When we entered the Second Radio Officer was tuning the emergency transmitter. We saw a lot of modern radio equipment in the radio room: some transmitters, receivers, teleprinters and satellite communication devices. As the Second Radio Officer was busy we decided not to interrupt his work and went to the engine room.

There were many sailors in the engine room. The motormen were lubricating the pumps, the Second Engineer was overhauling the main engine and the Third Engineer was regulating the air-conditioning system.

Then our guide showed us comfortable passengers and crewmen’s cabins, musical saloons, galley and mess-room.

We spent two hours on board the ferry and were very pleased with our visit. We thanked the Second Officer, wished him a happy voyage and left the ship.

THE SEA FISHING PORT OF SEVASTOPOL

The Sea Fishing Port of Sevastopol is strategically placed on the south-eastern coast of the Crimean Peninsula in the Kamishovaya bay (lat 44° 37' N long 33° 32' E). General cargo, iron, timber, containers and other goods are handled round the clock every day. Except loading dry cargoes, the port realizes passenger transportation inside the city and on the local routes. 

The port has more than ten berths (passenger and auxiliary berths also). The berth # 19 (220 m long), for example, is used to handle oil, diesel fuel and other liquid fuel. The maximum depth near the berth is 9. 2 m. The maximum draft should not exceed 9 m. 

The berths are equipped with different cranes with sufficient lifting capacity. There are different storage facilities, refrigerated warehouse and open storage areas in the port. Some berths are provided with the arterial roads of the country. The port is provided with various motor vehicles. There is also a ship-repairing yard with some dry and floating docks where major repairs are possible including hull and machinery repairs. It is also possible to replenish a vessel with fuel, water and food.

Navigation in the port is all year round. But in autumn and winter the sea fishing port of Sevastopol is capable to accommodate vessels with overall dimensions not more than:

Length 175 m

Breadth 23 m

Tonnage 17 thousand registered tons.

Permission to enter the port is given by Port Authority after the communication with a ship is established. Pilots embark or disembark vessels at exterior anchorage two miles from the entrance (lat 44°37'N long 33°27'E). Masters of the vessels should advise Inflot Agency of ETA. Preliminary notice should contain name flag of the vessels, ETA, length, breadth, draft, maximum height. 

The port provides all vessels with agents. The agent arranges everything necessary for the ship. He must advise port authorities and the receivers of the cargo about the estimated time of arrival. With the help of the control section the agent applies for drawing up papers in the Frontier Service and the Customs 24 hours prior to arrival. In two hours the agent coordinates the order of anchorage. In case of fever or other disease it is necessary to notify the agency. The Medical Officer usually requires the Master to produce the following documents: the Crew list, the list of passengers (if any), the bill of Health (санитарное свидетельство), the Disinfection and Deratization Certificates (свидетельства о дезинфекции и дератизации) and the Tonnage Certificate (мерительное свидетельство).

LESSON 5. IMO’s CONVENTION

NEW WORDS AND WORD COMBINATIONS

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

IMO’s CONVENTION

Shipping is perhaps the most international of the world’s industries, serving more than 90 per cent of global trade by carrying huge quantities of cargo cost effectively, cleanly and safely.

It has always been recognized that the best way of improving safety at sea and to avoid any perils and accidents is by developing international regulations that are followed by all shipping nations.

In 1948 the Organization of United Nations adopted a convention establishing the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as the first ever international body devoted exclusively to maritime matters. The original name was the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (or IMCO), but the name was changed in 1982 to IMO. The IMO Convention entered into force in 1958.

From the very beginning, the improvement of maritime safety and the prevention of marine pollution have been IMO’s most important objectives. In the early 2000s, maritime security became another major focus for the Organization. The overall objectives are summed up in the IMO slogan: “safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans”.

The Organization currently has 170 Member States and three Associate Members. Its governing body, the Assembly, meets once every two years. IMO is a technical organization and most of its work is carried out in a number of committees and sub-committees. The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is the most senior of these. IMO has promoted the adoption of some 50 conventions and protocols and adopted more than 1,000 codes and recommendations concerning maritime safety and security, the prevention of pollution and related matters.

Such documents as International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, International Convention on Preventing Pollution at Sea, International Regulations for Safety of Life at Sea and others are well known to all the mariners and shall be strictly obeyed in practical navigation. All these regulations impose liability on shipping companies, the vessels and their crews for non-compliance of the rules.

Much attention is paid now to preventing pollution at sea, as its consequences may threaten the vitally important problems of the mankind. The coast and coastal waters polluted with oil or poisonous substance may become uninhabitable or harmful not only for men, but for fish, birds, animals and other living creatures as well as vegetation.

Under Convention the countries, members of IMO, undertake to see to the effective execution of the rules. To control the strict observance of the Regulations special organizations have been established. The staff of these organizations is entitled to investigate the cause of pollution, to inspect the equipment aboard vessels and to impose a penalty for the violation of the Regulations.

Notes:

scope – границы, рамки, пределы;

collision – столкновение.

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. What part does shipping take place in world industry? 2. What is the best way of improving the safety at sea? 3. When was IMO established? 4. When did the convention come into force?        5. What are the objectives of IMO convention? 6. List some of the documents of IMO. 7. Why is so much attention paid to prevention pollution at sea? 8. What is staff of IMO entitled to do?

GRAMMAR EXERCISES

Exercise I. Read about the most important IMO’s Conventions. Explain the form of the verbs in italics.

SOLAS – The first conference organized by IMO in 1960 was concerned with maritime safety. That conference adopted the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea. The SOLAS Convention covered a wide range of measures designed to improve the safety of shipping. They included subdivision and stability; machinery and electrical installations; fire protection, detection and extinction; life-saving appliances; radiotelegraphy and radiotelephony; safety of navigation; carriage of grain; carriage of dangerous goods; and nuclear ships. IMO adopted a new version of SOLAS in 1974. Other safety-related conventions adopted by IMO include the International Convention on Load Lines; the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships; the Convention on International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG) which made traffic separation schemes adopted by IMO mandatory and considerably reduced the number of collisions in many areas; and the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue.

MARPOL – In 1973 the first ever comprehensive anti-pollution convention the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships was adopted. The MARPOL Convention deals not only with pollution by oil, but also pollution from chemicals, other harmful substances, garbage and sewage. It greatly reduces the amount of oil which may be discharged into the sea by ships, and bans (запрещать) such discharges completely in certain areas. The most important and far reaching of these is the International Ship and Port Facility (ISPS) Code.

INMARSAT – In 1976 IMO adopted the Convention on the International Maritime Satellite Organization (INMARSAT) and its Operating Agreement. The Convention came into force in July 1979 and later resulted in the establishment of the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO). 

ISM Code – Statistics say that about 80% of all shipping accidents are caused by people. The ISM Code provides tools to prevent accidents, injures, and pollution caused by poor management and human mistakes. Objectives of the ISM Code are to ensure safety at sea, prevention of human injury of life, and avoidance of damage to the environment.

LESSON 7. SANITARY RULES

NEW WORDS AND WORD COMBINATIONS

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

SANITARY RULES

Historically ships have played a significant role in the global transmission of infectious diseases. For example, ships can transport infected humans and other vectors, such as mosquitoes and rats, between ports and, therefore (следовательно), act as a means of international disease transfer. 

The International Sanitary Regulations were developed in 1951 to prevent the spread of six infectious diseases – cholera, plague (чума), yellow fever (жёлтая (тропическая) лихорадка), smallpox (оспа), typhus (тиф) and relapsing fever (вшиный тиф). These regulations were revised (пересмотрены) and renamed the International Health Regulations (IHR) in 1969 and they are in force up till now.

The purpose of the International Health Regulations is to provide security against the international spread of disease while avoiding unnecessary interference with international traffic. International Sanitary Rules are introduced in every country by the correspondent act of the Health Department. 

If any foreign vessel doesn’t fulfill Sanitary Rules regime then she cannot be detained in the port with the exception of time necessary for compulsory or forced sanitary treatment in case of yellow fever. The vessel can leave the port but during the whole period of voyage she cannot call at any other port of the same State Sanitary Rules of which had been broken by her. 

Sanitary inspection of the vessels is conducted round the clock at the berth and only in the special cases in the roadstead when there are ill men on board, lack of water, food, fuel, etc.

Pumping out of the ballast waters in the port water area is conducted only with the permission of the Sanitary Service. After washing the holds, water can be pumped out only with the permission of Sanitary Quarantine Service. All Sanitary operations are registered in the special book and Sanitary Certificate is given in case when all requirements are observed.

Isolation of ill persons, prohibition on import or export of certain cargoes, disinfection, and deratisation are maintained in the interests of all countries and nations. It is estimated that 1. 2 million seafarers are employed on general cargo vessels. Many spend months at sea, sometimes in remote regions of the world. On long voyages the ships are isolated communities. Good sanitation conditions on vessels are crucial both to the health of seafarers and to the shipping industry’s ability to attract and retain competent employees. 

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. Why have the ships played significant role in the global transmission of infectious diseases? 2. What regulations were developed in 1951? 3. List six infectious diseases the International Sanitary Regulations should prevent. 4. Can the ship be detained to the port, if she doesn’t fulfill sanitary rules regime?
5. Where are all sanitary operations registered? 6. When is sanitary inspection conducted? 7. Does the ship need permission for pumping out ballast water? 8. How many seafarers are employed on general cargo vessels? 9. What actions should be done in order to maintain the interest of all countries and nations? 10. Why is good sanitation important to people and shipping industry?

GRAMMAR EXERCISES

Exercise I. Read historic note paying attention to the verbs in italics. Define the Tense and Voice (Active/Passive) used.

Historically ships have played an important role in transmitting infectious diseases around the world. The spread of cholera in the nineteenth century was thought to be linked to trade routes and facilitated by merchant shipping. Efforts to control human disease on ships, can be traced back to the Middle Ages when in 1377, Venice and Rhodes denied access to ships carrying passengers infected with the plague and the term “quarantine” was coined. On arrival travellers were detained in isolation for 40 days before they were allowed to proceed to their final destination. Overcrowding on ships, filth and lack of personal hygiene were often associated with epidemics of typhus fever. Preventive measures, such as quarantine, delousing, and maintaining personal cleanliness by use of soap, were gradually adopted, and the incidence of typhus decreased.

Notes:

filth – отходы                        preventive measure – профилактические мероприятия

hygiene – гигиена                overcrowding – переполнение, перегруженность

delousing – дезинсекция     efforts – попытки

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

FIRE PREVENTION MEASURES

Fire prevention measures of ships are provided by its constructive, organizational and technical aspects and also by adequate actions of the crew in their fight against fire. It is noted that considerable per cent of fire accidents are connected with the explosion and ignition of light type fuel. Explosions of hydraulic systems, short circuits, defects in electrical equipment have also high frequency. Usually fire in the engine room is the result of lubricants ignition in the bearings of the main and auxiliary mechanisms. 

The other type of “thermal” accidents takes place because of the open fire that is because of sparks during welding process. But we mustn’t forget about negligence of the crew or ship builder’s shortcomings. It is necessary to observe requirements on storage of dangerous materials. Hold should be dry and clean with appropriate ventilation. Paints must have low thermal conductivity with the aim to lessen the spreading speed of fire. 

Inflammable materials must have inscription and marking, be checked periodically on validity and expiration date, leakage, tightness of cover and so on. It is compulsory for every ship to have highly efficient fire extinguishing system and also individual oxygen apparatus, means for hands protection, in a word everything that is necessary to safe life of every man at sea.

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. What is the main reason of fire on board a ship? 2. What measures can we take to lessen the spreading speed of fire? 3. Why is it necessary to have markings and inscriptions on inflammable goods? 4. What is compulsory to have on board every ship? 5. How do builder’s shortcomings influence on origin of fire?

TYPES OF FIRE

(European Standard)

It is important to find out the type of fire because if you fight with a fire in incorrect way, it can only increase the danger.

ELECTRICAL FIRE: Electricity does not burn. An electrical fire is a Class A, B, C or D fire. After the electrical circuits are isolated, the fire is extinguished as normal according to its normal class. 

Exercise VII. Read about Fire Extinguishers and be ready to answer the questions. 

A fire extinguisher is designed to attack a fire onboard in the early stage. 

Water, Foam and Dry Powder

Extinguishers with water, foam or dry powder operate in the same principal. In each case water, foam or dry powder are stored in a welded container. When the valve is opened, CO2 gas has a downward pressure on the water, foam, or dry powder and forces it as a siphon tube and out through the delivery hose. The discharge is controlled by squeezing and releasing the operating head valve or by a control lever at the end of the discharge hose. 

WATER – USE on wood paper, plastics

DO NOT USE on fires involving liquid (oils, paints, fats, etc. )

DO NOT USE on fires where there is live electricity. 

FOAM – USE on liquid spills and liquid fires of oils, paints (Class B fires)

DO NOT USE on fires where there is live electricity.

DRY POWDER

Powder can be used for liquids (Class B fires). Powder may also, with the correct technique, be used to extinguish a high pressure gas flame (Class C fires). Dry Powder gives as fast flame knock-down, and may be used on fires on live electrical equipment. 

True or False?

1. Extinguishers with water, foam or dry powder operate in the completely different principal. 

2. Extinguishers with water can be used on fires involving liquid. 

3. Powder can be used for liquids.

4. Extinguishers with foam can be used on fires where there is live electricity.

NEW WORDS AND WORD COMBINATIONS

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

Fire-Fighting

Accidents can be caused by negligence of a crewmember or by external factor. The crewmember can choose wrong personal protective equipment or incorrect usage of life-saving appliances or fire-fighting equipment.

A fire doesn’t break out if you perform all the precautions. When a fire breaks out, you’ll try to restrict to its area. The larger fire is, the more difficult it is extinguished. The cargo holds often contain large amount of combustible substances. It is not always possible to restrict fire there. Special transverse bulkheads of the cargo holds prevent spread of the fire to adjacent compartment. 

There is the following fire-fighting equipment on board a ship: ship’s fire alarm system, fire extinguishers, fire hoses with the nozzles, boxes with sand, buckets, fire shovels, axes and crowbars. For accommodation area there is automatic sprinkler system. The CO2 system is used in the engine room.

All the fire-fighting systems and equipment should be in good operating condition ready for immediate use. The deck department is responsible for all portable fire-fighting equipment, while the engine department takes care of all fixed fire-fighting systems.

NEW WORDS AND WORD COMBINATIONS

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

REGISTER OF SHIPPING

Register of shipping is the juridical body. Its main objective is to increase safety of navigation. There is Register of Shipping not only in our country but in Great Britain – British Lloyd’s, in France-French Veritas, in Sweden-Swedish Lloyd’s, in Norway-Norwegian Lloyd’s and American Bureau in the USA. Register of Shipping supervises for the implementation of international conventions, takes part in the work of international organization. 

Register works out and issues classification rules, for sea-going vessels, construction rules and also rules for ship’s measurement and definition of their load line. Register defines the degree of wear, conducts survey and produces the following documents: Load Line Certificate, Certificate for Seaworthiness, Passenger Certificate, Certificate for Minimum Freeboard and Certificate for the use of Shipboard radio station. 

Vessels, which are built according to these rules, are given adequate certificate of class in the Register. This certificate is acknowledgment of vessel’s reliability and fitness for the navigation. 

Class of the merchant vessel defines solidity thus gives the right to define Load Line and region of navigation. Insurance societies establish the amount of the insurance sum on the technical class basis and take correspondent dues from Ship-owners and Shippers for the cargo carried on board. We know that dues and charges for the services rendered to the ship are always calculated from gross Register Tonnage. It is the work of shipping register to ascertain BRT, GRT and NRT of any vessel. Vessel's class is lowered in case of the loss of original solidity after accidents, even partially. 

Lowering of the class is unprofitable for the ship-owner because this may lead to increase of the insurance does and also to increase of the minimum Freeboard that is to reduction of freight-carrying capacity. 

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. What is Register of Shipping? 2. What is its main objective? 3. Does Register of Snipping exist only in the USA? 4. What does Register of Shipping supervises for? 5. What does Register of Shipping work out?

LESSON 11. THE MAIN PARTS OF A SHIP

NEW WORDS AND WORD COMBINATIONS

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

Main Parts of a Ship

The main body of a ship is called hull. This is the area between the main deck, the sides and the bottom. The front part is the bow, the rear part is stern. Decks and bulkheads divide the hull up into several watertight compartments. Some of them are used for the dry cargo (cargo holds) or the liquid cargo (tanks). The hull contains engine room, cargo spaces and a number of tanks. Some tanks are used for fresh water and water ballast. The space between the holds and the bottom of the hull contains double bottom tanks. These are used for ballast water and fuel. 

Traditionally sailors use different words at sea. A bedroom is called a cabin. A bed is a bunk. The sailors call a kitchen as a galley. Right is starboard and left is named port. The group of people who work on board is called the crew. Sailors also refer to their vessels as she rather than it.

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. What is the main body of a ship? 2. How is the front part of a ship called? 3. What is the stern? 4. What do you know about the ship’s structure? 5. What is the difference between tanks and holds? 6. Where is fresh water stored? 7. How is kitchen called on a ship?

READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT

NECESSARY REPAIR AND DAMAGE SURVEY

The cargo vessels operate in various parts of World Ocean far away from native shores. In case of emergency when some machinery fails the vessels call at foreign port for emergency repair. The planned repair is usually carried out at the same shipyard where the vessel has been built before. As soon as the hull works are completed the ship-owner sends their representatives to supervise installation machinery and equipment. The ship’s engineers also take part in the repair process. They discuss the list of repairs with the shipyard’s representatives, verify the scope of the work, supervise and check up the repair process. On completion the delivery trials are carried out, the protocol of delivery is made out and the ship is ready for service again. 

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. What should the vessel do in case of emergency? 2. Where is the repair planned usually carried out? 3. What is the duty of ship-owner representatives? 4. Do ship’s engineers take part in the repair process?
5. What actions do they perform? 6. When is the ship ready for service again?
