MONKEY ISLAND:
Monkey Islandis located at the top most accessible height of a ship. Technically, it is
a deck
located directly above the navigating bridge of the ship. It is also called the flying
bridge on top of a pilothouse or chart house and the ship’s upper bridge.
This monkey island uses in past years by sailors for solar and stellar observations.
Monkey Island
is an integral part of a ship and hose. It includes a DR capsule, AIS Tx/Rx antennae,
Radar
scanner(s) attached to the radar mast, Sat C/F77 Tx/Rx antennae, &
communication equipment gear.
The ship bridge is the preliminary part of a ship, which is called the commanding
station of the
ship. This bridge control commands the total movement of the ship through its
navigational
system.
7.
FOLLOWING ARE THEFUNCTION OF THE BRIDGE.
BRIDGE:
1. Control the momentum & speed of the ship.
2.Monitoring weather and sea weather condition
3. Fixing the position of the ship
4. Carried out internal and external communication
FUNNEL:
A funnel, also known as a stack, is a chimney on the vessel that exhausts engine and
boiler smoke
into the atmosphere.
The funnel’s cross-section mainly depends upon how much smoke the exhaust
engine produces.
All smoke emissions are brought out through the funnel in the early time.
Authorities have restricted the amount of smoke emitted to control air pollution.
8.
ACCOMMODATION:
Accommodation is aplace on a ship where all crew members live. This
place consists of offices,
a salon, a gym, a recreation room, crew cabins, a hospital, a kitchen,
shared spaces, laundry, a dining area, and a galley.
Apart from this amenity, a freshwater system, garbage disposal system,
refrigeration system,
sewage treatment plant, and air conditioning are the major performing
systems in the accommodation place.
9.
FUNNEL DECK:
As weknow, a funnel neck is a chimney that flushes exhaust gases from the engine
and boiler room to the atmosphere.
Due to the increase in air pollution, certain limitations present to lessen air pollution.
The funnel deck is bent to a certain degree. So that exhaust gases cannot be a
barrier to the deck and navigation system.
SHIP DECK:
It is a floor or covering of the ship hull structure. There can be multiple decks on the
ship. The topmost deck is called the main deck or weather deck
It also bears maximum exposure to the weather. There are six types of decks
depending on the
position. These are the main deck, poop deck, upper deck, lower deck, weather
deck, and foredeck.
The primary function of the deck is to hold the hill structure and give a platform to
stand and
guard them against exterior or uncertain weather conditions.
10.
MAST:
The mast isa vertical ship structure mounted on the bridge and beside the bow. The
primary function of the mast is to give a support platform to the ship’s derrick, and
the secondary role is to hold the necessary equipment such as radar, navigation
system, and horns.
This mast is made of high-tensile steel, which gives rigid support to the ship.
Sometimes, the mast is to hoist the ship’s flag.
FLYING BRIDGE:
The Flying bridge is the broad area on top of the weatherboard and open space of the
superstructure, which gives a clear view of the front and side to the nautical officers.
The Flying Bridge area is also an operating station for crew members. It contains a
duplicate set of controls, which is very important for pilot and ship officers for the
berthing and unberthing of the vessel.
11.
STEM:
The front partof a ship is called the stem. There are two types of stem, raked and upright
stem.
The raked stem incline at a certain angle to the water streamlines, whereas the upright
stem is perpendicular to the water streamline.
FORECASTLE:
A forecastle is the leading or frontend part of a ship. The forecast length should not
exceed 7% of the total deck length.
The forecastle is smooth to identify due to the sudden rise in the foredeck near the
bow.
In the past year, forecastle was used by the military or solder to take the defensive
position in military vessels.
The forecastle is to hold, anchor, and secure some principal ship parts.
12.
FOREDECK:
The foredeck isthe parts of a ship just forward to the weather deck. The foredeck is
the distance between the foredeck and the forecastle.
BULBOUS BOW:
The bulbous bow is projecting bulk just near the hull below the waterline.
This bulbous bow modifies & decreases the thrust of water.
So, pump speed, range, and stability increase significantly.
The large ship has a bulbous bow with a fuel efficiency better than 10-12% than ships
that don’t have the bulbous bow.
13.
STERN:
Stern is backparts of the ship. Technically that area is built over the
sternpost,
extending upwards from the counter rail to the taffrail.
As the stern of the ship classifies three into three different categories.
Elliptical Stern
Cruiser stern
Transom Stern
POOP DECK:
The poop deck is the deck that can form the roof of the cabin on the
rear part of the superstructure.
14.
RUDDER:
As we know,steering is to steer the vehicle & the same happens in
the ship. But instead of steering, it uses a rudder to steer the ship.
The rudder consisted of a rudder trunk, moveable flap, main
rudder blade, hinge system, links, and rudder carrier bearing.
There are the following types of rudders.
Spade or Balanced Rudder
Unbalanced Rudder
Semi-balanced rudder
15.
PROPELLER:
A propeller isa mechanical device with blades fitted to the central
shaft.
When the shaft rotates, the rotational motion of the propeller starts
forcing seawater.
So, its pushes seawater backwards, and the ship moves forward.
The propulsion unit consists of a propeller, shaft, and engine. The
propeller comprises noncorrosive metals such as aluminium, bronze,
and manganese. There can be multiple propellors on
the ship.
Newton’s third law of motion and Bernoulli’s principle are behind the
vessel/ship movement.
16.
EMERGENCY GENERATOR ROOM:
Anemergency generator supplies electricity in dangerous
conditions when the main electricity supply is shut down.
It is in the emergency generator room, which is above the topmost
position of the deck. This generator is easy to use and operates at
degrees Celsius also.
17.
BALLAST TANKS:
Ballast tanksare to store and carry the water. This water in the ballast tank is
called ballast water.
The function of ballast water is to provide stability to the ship when it is
empty.
As seawater is very corrosive, to avoid corrosion of the ballast tank, anode
rods using to prevent the erosion of the ballast tank
A ballast tank is a revolution for the marine industry. Because in the past,
solid ballast is very difficult to drain out.
BUNKER TANKS:
Bunker tanks are to store lube oil and fuels. These lube oils are used for
lubrication to safely
operate all machinery, while fuel is there for emergency operations. As these
are flammable, they are stored in ignition-prone places.
18.
KEEL:
A keel isone of the main parts of ship, which is responsible for proving
the strength and stability of the boat.
Flat, duct and bar keels are the three types of keels. A flat keel using in
all major ships in
function, bar keels using when the ship works in shallow water, and
duct keels using for offshore vessels and double-hull tankers.
SHIP CARGO GEAR (DERRICK/CRANES):
It consists of derricks and cranes to lift and carry goods on the ship.
These cargo gear are
electrically or hydraulically operated, and cargo gear handles 15 to
4000 tons per hour.
19.
HATCH COVER:
It coversall types of cargo storage from spoilage, especially in the rainy season.
The
design of the hatch cover depends on the type of cargo vessel. But the main
requirement
is it should be easy to use.
Following are some hatch covers that are used in all types of ships.
Lifting type
Rolling type
Folding type
Sliding-type
Roll stowing type
Earlier, these catch covers were crane or winch operated, but nowadays,
these hatch covers are hydraulically operated.
20.
FREEBOARD:
Freeboard is partof the ship located just above the waterline and measured at
the measurement between an upper deck of the ship and the waterline.
The function of the freeboard is to maintain the symmetry of the ship and
dodge it from sinking.
It is required to maintain minimum freeboard on the ship to avoid sinking.
According to the international conventional load line, the following is some
load line marked on the ship’s hull.
Tropical Freshwater, Freshwater, Tropical, Summer, Winter, and Winter
North Atlantic.
This load line ensures the minimum requirement of freeboard on the ship.
21.
HULL:
The hull isthe watertight enclosure of the ship, which may be open, fully or partially
covered with deck.
The function of the hull is to protect all goods, machinery, and cargo from the weather
and flooding.
ANCHOR:
An anchor is a metallic arrangement to secure a vessel bed of a body from the water
and prevent
the craft from drifting due to wind. The anchor of the ship may be temporary or
permanent.
Following are some types of anchors generally found in ships.
Fluked anchors
Admiralty anchor
Stockless anchor
Grapnel anchor
Herreshoff anchor
Northill anchor
22.
NAVIGATION BRIDGE:
The navigationbridge is the broad platform slightly above the accommodation to
monitor and control the ship.
It gives a better and clear outside view to the captain.
The Piot house is the primary part of the navigation room from where the ship can
steer and control.
According to maritime rules, one must construct a vessel in a manner that provides a
clear and improved view from the conning position, spanning 1200 port to 1200
starboard.
This position from where the duty officer command, monitors, and manoeuvre the
ship.
DECK CRANE:
Deck cranes help the cargo function to move cargo vessels from one side to another.
In some ships,
deck cranes shift and move the goods such as hoses, tools, and machinery.
Deck cranes are generally electrically or hydraulically operated and have a maximum
capacity of 50 Tons.
23.
DRAUGHT:
The draught isthe part of a ship that is below the water. Draught is generally
measured in meters.
If the draught is 9 meters below the water, it is 9 meters below.
If the cargo in the ship is more, then the draught will be more if the cargo in a ship
is less, then the draught will be below.
LIFEBOAT:
A lifeboat is small and rigid, used to vacate passengers in emergency or dangerous
conditions. This
lifeboat is a life-saving part of the ship because it saves the passenger’s life.
These lifeboats are easy to launch over the side of a ship with minimum effort.
Belothree are three types of lifeboats used on ships.
Open lifeboat
Closed lifeboat
Free-fall lifeboat.
