propulsion and auxiliary machinery such as turbo generators, pumps and oil purifiers. They also
maintain auxiliary machinery outside of main machinery spaces, such as electro hydraulic
steering engines and elevators, refrigeration plants, air conditioning systems and desalinization
plants. They may also operate and maintain compressed gas producing plants.
The duties performed by MMs include:
 aligning piping systems for oil, water, air and steam, and controlling the operation of ship
boilers and steam turbines used for ship propulsion and service systems;
 controlling operation of turbo generators used to produce electrical power;
 cleaning, adjusting, testing and performing other preventive maintenance on a ship's
boilers, main engines, turbo generators and other auxiliary machinery including steering
engines, elevators, winches, pumps and associated valves;

4.  operating and maintaining desalinization plants (distilling plants) to make fresh water
from sea water;
 maintaining refrigeration plants, air conditioning systems and galley equipment;
 repairing or replacing valves, pumps, heat exchangers, compressors, steam turbines and
hydraulic or pneumatic control devices;
 Making entries in and analyzing machinery operating records and reports.
 Working Environment Machinist's mates work within the hull of a ship in fire rooms,
boiler rooms, engine rooms or shops. These locations are sometimes hot and noisy. MMs
may be required to perform some heavy physical work. They must be able to work
closely with others and, in some cases, with limited supervision.
