Piasau Slipways Sdn. Bhd. (PSSB) focuses on building tugboats, barges and small
vessels and also provides ship repair services. Throughout these 13 training weeks, the
industrial training activities mainly focused on the piping system of two 55ton bollard
pull tug ships. The purpose of these 55ton bollard pull tug ships is to import iron ores in
bulk from Brazil, then further export the processed iron ores through blending and
pelletizing in smaller vessels to other clients within the Asian regions. Once the harbor
tug ship is approved for sailing, the ship will be tendered over to the owner, Nautilus Tug
& Towage Sdn. Bhd. PSSB offers two units of the 55ton Bollard Pull Tug ships, with the
code/name of YD408/BPT Larut and YD409/BPT Lumut respectively. This projects
tender started in early 2012 and the ships construction started on 1st September 2013 and
currently one of the ships (YD408/BPT Larut) had been successfully delivered to the
owner on 22/2/2015. Meanwhile, YD409/BPT Lumut was still under construction and
was expected to be completed by early March 2015.
There were 11 types of piping systems been exposed throughout these 13 training
weeks, under a 2 years experienced piping engineer, Miss Elizacorina ak. Siguru
supervision. Many types of piping systems activities had been conducted and the
activities conducted were literatures studies on piping systems, site visit on piping
systems, assisted supervisor, contractors and yards foremen in hands on the pipes and
fittings, conducted material listing for each of the piping systems, assisted engineers and
Germanisher Lloyd (GL) representative in doing inspection and last but not least interact
with other engineers on solving tasks given by supervisor or any problems encountered
throughout these 13 training weeks.

Piasau Slipways Sdn. Bhd. (PSSB) was formed on 17 October 1977, located at Lot
516, Piasau Industrial Estate. During that time, PSSB focused on building tugboats,
barges and small vessels. PSSB also provided ship repair services. As time passed by and
high fluctuation of economy, more vessels were required for timber products
transportation, PSSB decided to improvise their services by constructed a new shipyard
located at Lot 523, Kuala Baram Industrial Estate, 98000, Miri, Sarawak (Shin Yang
2013). Ever since 1996, PSSB had constructed and fabricated more than 199 vessels
which include motor launch, dump barges, hopper barges, coastal and deep sea tugboats,
landing crafts, container vessels and oil tankers for domestic and overseas market (Shin
Yang 2013).
According to Shin Yang (2013), the vision of PSSB is to be the Premier Shipbuilder
& Integrated Marine Structural Fabricator and One-stop Quality Marine Engineering &
logistics service provider in South East Asia and beyond. Meanwhile the missions are:
Currently, PSSB focuses on the construction of harbor tug ships, which offers
technical specification details within the scope of supply and services for the ships
design, engineering, construction and performance of sea trials for the ships.
The current project ongoing in PSSB is the ship construction of 55ton Bollard Pull
Tug (BPT) ship for VALE Malaysia Manufacturing (VMM) Project, located at Teluk
Rubiah, Perak state, Malaysia. As a brief introduction of this project, the purpose of this
project is to import iron ores in bulk from Brazil, then further export the processed iron
ores through blending and pelletizing in smaller vessels to other clients within the Asian
regions. Once the harbor tug ship is approved for sailing, the ship will be tendered over
to Nautilus Tug & Towage Sdn. Bhd. PSSB offers two units of the 55ton Bollard Pull
Tug ships, with the code/name of YD408/BPT Larut and YD409/BPT Lumut
respectively. This projects tender started in early 2012 and the ships construction

Shipyard piping engineers play major role in reviewing and amending the piping
systems schematic diagram provided by the designers implemented throughout the entire
ships and purchase logical amount of valves, fittings and pipes for the ships. Once the
piping system design is completed and approved for construction, piping engineers will
assist the constructors during the construction process to ensure safe and smooth
construction process. A summarized shipyard piping engineers roles are shown in a flow
chart as shown in Figure 1.
For every ship, the mandatory components required are hull, steamers, hold and
hatch, mast, deck fittings, anchor, cable, shackles, rooms and lastly cabins. The pipelines
implemented for these mandatory components come together with piping systems
equipments such as joint, vent, valves, sounding, pipes, penetration and many more,
which must follow the piping construction standard for safe operations.
There are many types of bend and pipes used in ships, which can be summarized as
shown in Table 3 below. However, there are two differences between pipes and tubes.
Pipes are highly resistance towards bending, meanwhile tubes are flexible. Besides,
pipes are classified based on the schedule and nominal diameter, A (Sch. 80, 250A),
whilst pipes are classified based on the outer diameter and thickness. Apart from bend
and pipes, several types of valves are used in the piping systems in ships which are
summarized in Table 4.

Regulate fluid flow rate when pressure consideration is required
(Vuthaluru 2014).
For flow control and on-off service for isolated fluid (Vuthaluru 2014).
These scheduled site visits mainly focused on the piping systems in both of the BPT
ships, in order to have better and indepth understanding on real life pipeline
applications. These scheduled site visits contributed knowledge on the type of valves and
fittings in 10 core piping systems presence which are bilge, ballast, firemain & wash
deck system, fuel oil transfer system, engine cooling system, domestic fresh water & sea
water supply system, grey water & black water system, oily bilge & dirty oil system, oil
dispersant system, lube oil piping system, external fire fighting system and CO 2 fire
fighting piping system.
Exposure on the floating dock and rexpeller were conducted too. The purpose of
this floating dock it to conduct ship repair and docking for ships in the middle of the sea.
Rexpeller is a newly developed technology for ships movement as it combines both
propeller and rudder which promotes azimuth movement for the ships.

Transport CO2 from CO2 storage area located in main deck to put out
In a BPT ship, there are 10 main piping systems presence which are bilge, ballast,
firemain & wash deck system, fuel oil transfer system, engine cooling system, domestic
fresh water & sea water supply system, grey water & black water system, oily bilge &
dirty oil system, oil dispersant system, lube oil piping system, external fire fighting
system and CO2 fire fighting piping system. Detailed drawings, explanations and valves
applications are addressed in Section 3.1. All of the pipes used in these systems must be
flanged with the gap of 1.50m between two pipes for the ease of construction,
maintenance and removal (Lloyd 2012, 11-33).
In this system, three different types of piping systems are installed, which are bilge
piping system, ballast piping system and firemain piping system. The purpose of bilge
piping system is to remove small quantities of fluid that have leaked out or condensed
into a dry space with the aid of two centrifugal pumps. The purpose of ballast piping
system is to stabilize the ships weight and coordination by adjusting the input, output
and storage of the fresh water in the ballast tank with the aid of a centrifugal pump. The
purpose of firemain piping system is to transport sea water for firefighting system in the
ship for both main deck and below main deck with the aid of a centrifugal pump.
14
The purpose of this piping system is to transport sea water to cool down two main
engines of the ship via heat exchanger equipment installed in the engines circulated by
generator built-in pump. This system also transports sea water for air cooling system.
15
The purpose of this system is to transport fresh water supply for ballast tank, engine
cooling, main deck area (toilet, galley/kitchen and washing machine) and for window
wiper water supply in wheelhouse deck area. Generator with built-in heat exchanger is
installed with the closed fresh water circuit for heating and cooling function.
The purpose of this system is to transport both grey water and black water away
from the ship either through overboard or into sewage tank. The black water means
human excretory waste from the washroom, whilst the grey water means waste water
produced other than human waste, such as from kitchen/galley. Black water will be
transported into a sewage treatment plant for treatment and disinfection purposes and
then stored in a sewage tank or discharged to the sea through the below main decks
overboard. Grey water will be discharged directly to the sea via main decks overboard.
If the treated/waste water from the sewage treatment plant and sewage tank is needed to
be discharged to the sea, the water can only be discharged at least 3 nautical miles from
the nearest land (Lloyd 2012, 11-49).
The purpose of this system is to transport oily waste fluid/bilge from various
sections in the ships and dirty oil from the engines into a sludge tank and oily water
storage for disposal upon docking. Strum box is required to filter out large sized and
non-biodegradable wastes before entering the sludge tank. Two separate tanks are
required to store oily bilge and dirty oil respectively (Lloyd 2012, 11-42). Sludge tank is
16
used to store dirty oil/lubricant oil from the main engines, meanwhile oily water storage
is used to store oily bilge from various sections in the ship.
The purpose of this system is to transport oil from the dispersant tank to two
dispersant booms at both left/port and right/star board side for cleaning service. Since
most of the oily bilge, waste fluid and grey water are disposed into the sea directly
through overboard, thus the dispersant boom system is required to clean the ships
exterior from these wastes.
The purpose of this system is to transport lubricant oil from the sump tank to the
main engines in order to ensure the main engines operate smoothly, reliable lubrication
in order to have adequate heat transfer and also to reduce the corrosion rate occurring in
the main engines. According to Lloyd (2012, 11-30), emergency lubrication oil supply
can be installed for the main engines in case of interruption of lubricating oil supply
from the main storage, and besides the lubricant oil treatment is a mandatory for
adequate treatment of the oil via several processes such as filtering, purifiers and
centrifuging.

These scheduled site visits contributed knowledge on the piping systems along with
valves and fittings applications implemented in the BPT ships.

The purpose of this system is to transport foam from the storage located at below
main deck area to main deck and wheelhouse deck for external fire control purposes.
This system also transport foam to the fire monitor to put out fire on the other ships and
burning/fire zones. Air operated sirens are installed as a part of the external fire fighting
system, to provide warning/emergency sound during emergencies. There are two types
of foam to be used, which are the low expansion foam and high expansion foam. For the
low expansion foam, the ratio volume of foam produced to the mixture of water and
foam concentration supplied must not exceed 12:1, whereas for the high expansion form,
the ratio must not exceed 1000:1 (Lloyd, 12-28).
The purpose of this system is to transport CO 2 from the CO2 room located at the
main deck to 12 different positions at the below main deck area for fire fighting purpose.
The difference between this system and the firemain system is that; CO 2 fire fighting
system uses CO2, whereas firemain system uses sea water to put out fire in the below
main deck area. However, firemain is only used as the last resort where CO 2 fire fighting
system fails to put out the fire completely.
20
The aim of this teaching & learning session with supervisor on the material listing
for purchasing technique and procedure of piping materials was to make quantitative and
qualitative analysis on choosing valves and materials for the piping systems based on the
schematic diagram. Drawing review on materials basis was required to ensure the
material list provided by the designers is accurate. To conduct material listing, few
criteria are required, such as items, size, material, allowable pressure drop and materials
purchased reference number (JIS). The reference numbers are usually referred to the
supplier such as Sun Korea Co., LTD. (2005) and Najin Corp. (n.d.) Material listing for
all of the 10 systems based on the schematic diagram were and tabulated in Section 3.1.

Since the ships main engines piping system is the most crucial system, a literature
studies on the main engines was conducted. The main engines used are Daihatsu main
engine, built in Osaka, Japan, with the function to provide both mechanical and electrical
energy for the ship at maximum continuous output of 1920kW @ 750RPM. In order to
understand the piping mechanisms of the main engines, the arrangement of the main
engines fitting and the relevant piping system are required. The piping systems involved
in these Daihatsu main engines are ballast system, domestic fresh water & sea water
22
supply system, engine cooling system, fuel oil transfer system, oily bilge & dirty oil
system and lastly lube oil system. The fitting arrangements are like lube oil inlet &
outlet, fresh water inlet & outlet, fuel oil inlet & outlet and other fittings. Once the main
engines fittings arrangements are recognized, the alignment for the involved piping
systems can be conducted.
A hand on BPT ship main engines fittings arrangement based on the manual was
conducted. The purpose of this activity is to provide industrial application on the piping
connection in the Daihatsu main engines. In practical, the piping connection throughout
the main engines are mostly welded and flanged with a maximum distance gap of 1.50m.
Daihatsu main engines required lubricant oil, fuel oil, sea water and fresh water in order
to operate smoothly. Lubricant oil is used to provide sufficient oil for smooth mechanical
process; meanwhile fuel oil is used for operating services. Both sea water and fresh
water are used for engine cooling system and also for cleaning service. Although this
activity is more to mechanical engineering applications, one requires this knowledge in
the piping field, so that the piping misalignments can be reduced.
For the fifth week, the daily duties given and conducted were summarized as shown
in Table 10 below.

As for week 6, supervisory work for the piping construction progress for both
YD408 and YD409 BPT ships was continued, which were summarized in Section 3.2.
However, a problem encountered within one of the main engines exhaust system
connection and alignment. The problem encountered from the main engines left
side/starboard is that when the expansion joint, bend and the silencer are connected as
shown in Figure 10 in Section 3.3, the drainage system for condensed exhaust vapour
was unable to be installed due to its unsuitability. In order to solve this problem,
knowledge, fittings and the mechanism of the exhaust system are required. Thus,
literature studies, site visit and analysis on the main engines exhaust system were
conducted in order to have better understanding on the exhaust system. Problem solving
for the starboard side main engines exhaust system was addressed in Section 3.3.
As for the exhaust system literature studies, the fittings and the mechanism of the
exhaust system from exhaust piping arrangement schematic diagram (Appendix A) is
summarized as follow. Exhaust system is applied for both main engines and its
generators (genset), whereby the main engines and the genset have their own respective
pipeline, fittings and arrangements. However, they have the same purpose. The purpose
of the exhaust system is to remove exhaust gas from both main engines and genset,
similar to any vehicles. Both main engines and genset are connected with expansion
joint, silencer and lastly exhaust funnel. The function of expansion joint is similar to
flange which connect between pipes for the easy of construction and removal.
Meanwhile, silencer reduces the exhaust sound to the minimal level and lastly the
exhaust funnel channels out the exhaust gas from the ship.
27
This system does not require any valves but require Schedule 40 seamless black
mild steel pipes, except for the exhaust funnels which require Schedule 40 stainless steel
pipes. Besides, both of the main engines and genset exhaust pipe are insulated with
aluminum sheet of 75mm and 50mm thick respectively, with mineral wool in between
the aluminum sheet and the exhaust pipeline for heat insulation purpose.

As for week 7, supervisory work for the piping construction progress for both
YD408 and YD409 BPT ships was continued, which were summarized in Section 3.2.
On 12/1/2015, scuppers were planned to be installed for both ships main deck, one
on port side and another on the starboard side respectively, as water always accumulated
on the main deck when it rains. Therefore, this task was assigned to the yards welders
and fitters in order to speed up the construction progress and this task was expected to be
completed within 4 working days. Thus, an additional supervisory work was assigned by
supervisor, by checking and updating the scuppers installation progress. This task was
completed on 16/1/2015.
Site visit on hydraulic power pack machinerys fittings and alignment was
conducted on 14/1/2015 in order to have better understanding on the purpose and the
piping connection; as the hydraulic power pack was initially placed on YD408 BPT ship
on 17/1/2015, whereas the hull and piping fitting and alignment will be conducted on
training week 8. The purpose of this hydraulic power pack is to provide hydraulic power
supply to the ships capstan and anchor windlass via two respective control stations. The
function of a ships capstan is to hold the ship in position during docking session by
applying forces on ropes and cables; whereas the function of a ships anchor windlass is
to restrain and control the ships anchor chain for mobility purpose.

As for week 8, supervisory work for the piping construction progress for both
YD408 and YD409 BPT ships was continued, which were summarized in Section 3.2.
On 19/1/2015, YD408 both port and starboard main engines cleanliness was
scheduled to be inspected by the Daihatsu engineers. In order to assist the engineers, the
expansion joint attached between the two pipelines (turbo charger pipeline and silencer
pipeline) needed to be detached as per referred to the exhaust piping arrangement
schematic diagram in Appendix A. Detailed explanation and working experience were
addressed in Section 3.2. The exhaust cleaning for both of the main engines exhausts
was conducted on the following next day (20/1/2015) as per requested. The Daihatsu
engineers were satisfied with the results and the expansion joint was flanged back to
each of the main engines respectively.
YD408 BPT ship was planned to be delivered to the owner within the first week of
February 2015, thus, several machinery tests were required to be conducted. Gensets
testing was scheduled to be tested and operated on 20/1/2015, whilst main engines
testing was schedule to be tested and operated on 22/1/2015.Thus, the supplier, Daihatsu
33
sent two of their engineers to conduct testing and operated the main engines and gensets
to test the machines efficiency and endurance for a maximum of 4 hours per day.
Therefore, site visits were conducted to observe and to learn on how these machines
were being tested and operated by the engineers.
YD408 BPT ship was scheduled to be delivered to the owner (Nautilus Tug &
Towage Sdn. Bhd.) within the first week of February 2015, all of the outstanding piping
tasks were expected to be completed by the end of January 2015 but all of the
outstanding tasks were completed one week earlier. Since all of the piping construction
for YD408 had completed, therefore all of the supervisory works will be focused on
YD409, which still have 58 outstanding tasks to be completed in three weeks time.

As for week 9, supervisory work for the piping construction progress for both
YD408 and YD409 BPT ships was continued, which were summarized in Section 3.2.
Since YD408 BPT ship had completely constructed and passed all of the machinery
tests, the ship was scheduled to undergo yard trial for 2 hours on 26/1/2015. The purpose
of this yard trial is to check and test the overall ships performance on river with the
minimum depth of 15m. After passing the yard trial, the ship will undergo sea trial which
takes places at the wide open sea area, which is to check and test the overall ships
performance under sea condition. However, on the way back to the site, the YD408
experienced some vibration at the port side rexpellers shaft due to less tighten of bolt
and nut. This vibration will cause fatal problem if not taken seriously. Thus, the ship
required to undergo some modifications. Since there was a problem detected on the
ships, therefore the ship need to undergo second sea trial which was scheduled to be on
3/2/2015.
36
Although the YD408 BPT ship had fully constructed, however minor piping,
fittings and electrical modifications were conducted to resolve for any problems
encountered during and after the yard trial. As for piping, the minor adjustments were
made on the engine cooling pipelines, rexpeller cooling pipelines and the hawse pipe
wash down pipelines. On 27/1/2015, minor piping adjustment for engine cooling in the
YD408 ship was conducted due to main engines unbalance pressure. Meanwhile, on
28/1/2015, the chain wash pipe of firemain system in YD408 ship was reallocated to
allow the bollard installation on the main deck. Whilst, on 30/1/2015, rexpeller cooling
system pipelines in both BPT ships were readjusted as per requested by the Daihatsus
engineers.

As for week 10, supervisory work for the piping construction progress for both
YD408 and YD409 BPT ships was continued, which were summarized in Section 3.2.
On 3/2/2015, a yard trial for YD408 BPT ship was conducted at 9.00 am. The first
phase of the trial was conducted to travel back and forth from PSSB to Shin Yang
Dockyard Sdn. Bhd. which is about 3km far, which minimum water depth of 15m for 4
times. Then, the ship docked at Shin Yang Dockyard Sdn. Bhd. or also known as
Shipyard 1, for fresh water filling, which took about 3 hours to fully fill the fresh water
tanks. At 3.30pm, the ship departed from Shipyard 1 and docked safety at PSSB at 4.00
pm. This yard trial considered as a successful yard trial as no machinery problems were
encountered throughout the entire trial, only a minor leakage occurred for standby main
engines cooling pump was detected. The leakage problem was solved on 4/2/2015, by
tightening the butterfly valve along the pipeline.
pipeline, which required cleaning. On the next day 9.00 am, second inspection was
conducted and the Daihatsus engineers were satisfied with the exhaust cleanliness. The
expansion joint was installed back to the main engines exhaust, completed at 11.00 am.

As for week 11, supervisory work for the piping construction progress both YD 408
and YD409 BPT ships was continued, which were summarized in Section 3.2.
Few piping modifications were made throughout this week due to minor technical
problems or as per suppliers request. On 10/2/2015, minor piping modification was
made for both BPT ships external fire fighting systems pump as per required by the
supplier, FITECH Engineering Pte. Ltd. This modification was conducted by removing
41
all of the pipes connected to the fire fighting pump as well as the pump itself. This is for
the ease of the installation of additional device on the pump and along the pipelines. This
task was partially completed on 12/2/2015, whereby the firefighting pump and the pipes
were removed from its position, whereas the additional device was not installed yet as it
had not arrived yet and was expected to arrive on 13/2/2015. Thus, this task was
completed on 14/2/2015 and underwent fire hydrants testing at 3.00 pm.
Apart from external fire fighting system, minor piping modification was conducted
on 11/2/2015 for one of the YD408 BPT ships domestic fresh water system pipelines
(main decks washrooms pipeline). With the current fresh water pipeline, there was
tendency for the fresh water to flow back into the water tank. To solve for this problem,
a bronze swing check valve was installed along the pipeline, after the gate valve. The
purpose of installed an additional swing check valve is to ensure the fresh water flow in
one direction only, which is to the washrooms. The installation of the swing check valve
can be checked by referring to the domestic fresh water & sea water supply systems
schematic diagram in Appendix A. This task was completed on 12/2/2015. This
modification was applied to YD409 BPT ship and was scheduled to be conducted on
16/2/2015.
The chain wash pipeline for YD409 was reallocated on 13/2/2015 to allow the
bollard installation on the main deck and was completed at 4.00pm.

ship was continued, which were summarized in Section 3.2.
Since the all of the minor piping modifications for both piping and fittings had
completed, YD408 BPT was set off for sea trial on 16/2/2015, 1.00 pm. The sea trial was
conducted at the sea area with the sea depth of more than 60m and safe location away
from subsea cables for 5 days continuously. The sea trial program for YD408 BPT ship
was listed as shown below:

Similarly with YD408 BPT ship, minor piping modification was conducted on one
of the YD409 BPT ships domestic fresh water system pipelines (main decks
washrooms pipeline) with the same problem encountered whereby the fresh water had
the tendency to flow back into the fresh water tank. Thus, a bronze swing check valve
was installed along the pipeline, after the gate valve to ensure that the fresh water flows
directly to the washrooms only. The installation of the swing check valve can be checked
by referring to the domestic fresh water & sea water supply systems schematic diagram
in Appendix A.
There are many types of corrosion tend to occur on any part of the ships, especially
hull and pipelines. Table 18 below summarized the common corrosion and its
description that occurred on the pipes of any ships, whereas Table 19 shows the
common prevention for the corrosion listed in Table 18.

Graphitic corrosion
In PSSB, the corrosion preventive method widely practiced for pipes are applying
blast cleaning, followed by pickling and lastly paint application on the pipes surfaces.
Initially all of the welded pipes will undergo blast cleaning, whereby sand is thrown into
the pipes surfaces at high velocity by using an impeller wheel plant. The purpose of
blast cleaning is to brush of any rust on the pipes surfaces. After blast cleaning, the
pipes will undergo pickling process. Pickling process is defined as an immersion process
of metallic pipes in an acid solution, such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid. The
purpose of pickling process is to remove rust and millscale which are unable to be
removed by the blasting process and also to remove the excess sand from the blasting
process. Both blasting process and pickling process serve as a surface preparation for the
pipes to ensure successful painting on the pipes. The common types of paints applied on
the pipes are alkyd resin paints and oleo-resinous paints. Alkyd resin paints are paints
made from alcohols and acids which provide enhanced drying time and film forming
47
properties of drying oil. This paint is only applicable for indoor use. Oleo-resinous paints
are paints made from natural or artificial resins into drying oil protective layer, which is
applicable for any pipes exposed to weather such as main decks and wheelhouse decks
pipes and also for underwater service.

In this section, the working experiences gained throughout these 12 weeks are case
studies on the piping systems in harbor tug ship, site visit on harbor tug ships
(YD408/BPT Larut and YD409/BPT Lumut), material listing for each of the piping
systems, literature studies on machines, supervisory works and problem solving.
One of the projects carried out during the 13 weeks of industrial training is
conducting case studies and analysis on the piping systems in PBBSs Bollard Pull Tug
(BPT) ships. Most of the pipeline implemented in both YD408/BPT Larut and
YD409/BPT Lumut practiced these exercises (Lloyd 2012, 11-2):
1. Welds on pipe shall be with full penetration.
2. The usage of galvanized bolts and nuts.

Since there are 10 main piping systems in the BPT ships that had been explored,
simplified block diagrams were drawn based on the schematic diagrams (Appendix A)
in order to have preliminary understandings and concepts on the piping systems.
Figure 2 shows the summarized schematic diagram for bilge, ballast, firemain and
wash deck piping system for below main deck area via block diagram. The bilge system
transport non/low level toxin waste fluid (bilge) within the ship into manifolds and later
discharged those bilge into the sea via overboard compartment. Manifold act as a mixer
whereby it accumulates all the bilge from different sections. Sea water strainer is used to
remove most of the sodium chloride, NaCl contain to reduce corrosion rate in the pump.
Overboard is a section where the waste water and bilge are discharged from the ship to
the sea. SDNR valves are widely used to ensure the bilge flow in one direction only.
As for the ballast system, the fresh water is used to balance the ships weight and
coordination by filling up the ballast tank. The excess water transported from the fresh
water tanks can be further used for domestic usage in the main deck area and cooling
reagent for heat exchanger for the ships engines in the below main deck area. Butterfly
valves are used to regulate low pressure fresh water flow rate. Sea water strainer is used
53
for emergency purpose, just in case sea water is used for the ballast piping system. Gate
valves are used to minimize pressure drop across the valve in fully opened condition.
The firemain system uses sea water for firefighting purpose in below main deck
area, in case for fire activities. Excess water is discharged back to the sea via overboard.
SDNR valves are used to ensure the excess sea water is flown back to the sea directly
and the fire hydrant valves are used for emergency situations where sea water is released
in the engine room to put out fire. For this bilge, ballast, firemain & wash deck system,
the pipes used are Schedule 80 hot dipped galvanized mild steel.

Figure 3 shows the summarized schematic diagram for fuel oil transfer system for
both main engines and generators via block diagram. This system transports fuel oil to
the two ships main engines and to two ships generators from two identical fuel oil
services tanks. By referring to the generator fuel oil supply line block diagram, it is
observed that the fuel oil is transported from the fuel oil services tank directly to the
generator by passing through two racor filters. The excess fuel oil is then recycled back
to the storage tank. This system applies to the second generator too. Racor filters are
installed to remove impurities contained in the fuel oil.
By referring to the main engine fuel oil supply line block diagram, fuel oil is
transported from the fuel oil services tank to manifold, then passes through mercury
filter for mercury removal then lastly to the main engine. Excess fuel oil is then recycled
back to the storage tank by passing through air separator, with the purpose of releasing
the confined vacuum pressure in the recycled fuel oil via air vent. Dirty used fuel oil is
transported to the sludge tank for disposal. Emergency fuel oil services pipeline is
installed to provide fuel oil for the main engines in case of emergency situations via
stand-by fuel pump operating at 25m3/hr @ 30m head. This cycle applies to the second
main engine too.
Several valves are used for this system, such as gate valve (to minimize pressure
drop across the valve in fully opened condition), swing check valve (to ensure the oil
flow in one direction only, back to the storage tank) and flange end ball valve (to
regulate the oil flow rate to the main engine, in-case the oil is isolated to prevent the oil
been isolated in the pipeline). Several quick closing valves are installed along the fuel oil
storage tanks pipeline to shut off the fluid transportation immediately in case of
emergency situation, especially when there is a fire breaks out. For this system, the pipes
used are Schedule 40 black and seamless mild steel pipes.

Sea water strainers are used to remove most of the NaCl contains and impurities in
the sea water, in order to reduce the corrosion rate in air-cond cooling pump, generators
built-in pumps and the heat exchangers. Emergency cooling system pipeline from ballast
system is installed to provide cooling system for the main engines in case of emergency
situations via gate valves.
Several valves are used such as gate valves (to minimize pressure drop across the
valve in fully opened condition), check valves (to ensure the cooled water from the airconditional cooling pump flow in one direction only, to the air condition condensing
units), butterfly valves (regulate the low pressure fresh water for air ventilation purpose)
and lastly angle SDNR valve (to ensure the hot water exit from the heat exchangers;
located in below main deck area to flow upwards to the main decks overboard in one
direction only for water discharge purpose). Shut off valves are required at the outlet and
inlet for both of the heat exchangers (Lloyd 2012, 11-35). For this system, the pipes used
are Schedule 80 galvanized mild steel pipes.

Three pumps are operating for this system, a pair of identical pumps; fresh water
pump (P1) and sea water pump (P2) operating at 3.8m3/h @ 35m head and another fresh
water pump (P3) operating at 25m3/h @ 30m head. A basket strainer is used to filter out
any impurities from the fresh water supply for safe and clean consumption.
Gate valves are widely used in this system; to ensure that the fresh water does not
change its fluid flow direction and also to stop the flow completely in case the fresh
water supply is contaminated or due to emergency situations. Two SDNR valves are
used to ensure that the fresh water flowing out from the pump does not flow back to the
pump. UV light device is recommended to be installed after P1 to kill bacteria contained
in the fresh water. Since the fresh water can be transported via two directions, pumps are
required to justify the flow direction. For this system, the pipes used are Schedule 80
galvanized mild steel pipes.

As for the below main deck area, both of the gray water and black water from the
washrooms are transported to the sewage tank via check valves for each pipeline. These
check valves are used to ensure that both of the grey water and black water do not flow
back to the washroom.
In the sewage treatment tank, the accumulated waste water in the sewage tank can
only be discharged to the sea through the below main decks overboard at least 3 nautical
miles from the nearest land, otherwise during docking cleaning session. Two check
valves are used after the sewage treatment plant, to ensure that the treated water either
flows directly to sewage tank or below main decks overboard respectively, without
flowing back to the sewage treatment plant. Several gate valves are used to ensure the
treated/waste water flows continuously to the desired location, otherwise is stopped
completely in case of emergency situations. For this system, the pipes used are Schedule
40 galvanized carbon steel pipes.

Swing check valves are used for the oily bilge transportation to ensure that the oily
bilge flow to the manifold and oily water storage directly. Swing check valves are used
for the dirty oily transportation before the semi-rotary pump to ensure the dirty oil flow
in one direction only, which is to the semi-rotary pump and also to shut off the valve
when necessary to prevent the semi-rotary pump from overloaded with the dirty oil.
During the oil disposal process, the accumulated waste oil will be pumped out from
the sludge tank and gate valve is used to ensure that the waste oil flows continuously to
the desired location, otherwise is stopped completely in case of emergency situations.
For this system, the pipes used are Schedule 40 mild steel pipes.

Ms. Elizacorina was attending the company meeting regarding the BPT ships
construction progress. During the supervisory progress, Mr. Gan asked three questions
regarding the overboard such as the function of the valves used associated with the
overboard location, the overboard construction progress and the purpose of the
overboard associated with the piping systems. The checking progress went smoothly and
Mr. Gan was satisfied with the overboard construction progress.
On 19/1/2015, 1.30 pm, two Daihatsu engineers came to check on the cleanliness of
YD408 both main engines exhaust. In order to assist the surveyors, four foremen were
assigned to detach the expansion joint; where two foremen are assigned for each main
engine respectively. After detached the expansion joint for both main engines, one of the
engineers went to do the checking. As the result, he was not satisfied with the port side
main engines exhaust cleanliness as it was very dirty, whereby dirt and grease were
found within the exhaust pipeline as shown in Figure 8.
89
In conclusion, both of the main engines exhaust had to be cleaned before the
second inspection, which was on the next following day (20/1/2015). On 20/1/2015, the
second exhaust cleanliness inspection was carried out for both of the main engines and
the engineers were satisfied with the result. Thus, the expansion joints were flanged back
to the origin at 2.30pm leading completion work at 4.00 pm.

Chapter 4: Conclusion
Since there six objectives set for this industrial training, all of the 6 objectives were
achieved. A part of the engineering knowledge learnt in classroom was applied in
throughout this industrial training, which is the application of fluid mechanics
knowledge. Besides, professional engineering practices in the industries were been
exposed too, such as wearing Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) when working on
site. Furthermore, the role and responsibilities as well as code of ethics those engineers
should uphold are practiced too, in such way that piping engineers should be alert and
involve in solving any piping problem encountered efficiently. Apart from that, general
workplace and interpersonal skills were developed such as wearing PPE interact with
others when working on site. Despite that, all piping construction progresses were
recorded and tabulated neatly as a part of the industrial training objective. Lastly, rapport
and network with future employers were built by interacting with them in solving
problems encountered together as well as gaining additional knowledge (other than
piping) with other engineers. As for recommendation, relevant software should be
provided to enhance the understanding of the piping systems and its applications.
