CHIEF ENGINEER REG III/2

ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE

Candidates for a Steam Certificate will not be examined in items 13(a), (b), (c) and (d) and
candidates for a motor Certificate will not be examined in items 10 (a) and (b)

Notes:

(i) The engineering knowledge to be shown by candidates is that which is required for
operation and maintenance of the machinery, equipment and ship structure usually
in charge of the chief engineering officer. A candidate will also be required to
understand the legal and management responsibilities of that rank.

(ii) Candidates should be well acquainted with machinery and boiler causalities which
may occur at sea and be able to state how these can be prevented or remedied.

(iii) The oral examination syllabus is given in MGN 69


.
(iv) Naturally there is a similarity between the Chief Engineer and Second Engineer Reg
II/2 Engineering Knowledge syllabi, but as a general guide it is expected that the
Chief Engineer candidate should be able to show a deeper knowledge of all aspects
and a sounder understanding of the principles involved.

The candidate to have knowledge of the following:

1. Properties and characteristics of metals, materials, liquids, gases and vapours used in
