                          SHIPS REPAIR AND DAMAGE SURVE



                                         Lesson 25
                          Some Information about Necessary Repair

        Our fishing vessels operate in various seas and oceans. In case of emergency when some
machinery fails they call at foreign ports for repairs. But if a ship is built at a foreign shipyard
it's a common practice to repair the ship at the same yard.
        In foreign ports negotiations with dock masters (if the ship needs dry docking in case of
sea growth or fouling damage of the ship's hull or propeller), engineers port authorities are car-
ried out through the ship's agent. But the captain or his chief mate, the chief engineer should
always take an active part in such talks. They discuss the list of repairs with shipyards repre-
sentatives, verify the scope of the work and check up the repair process.
        While being docked the engineers should examine the sturn tube, propeller, injection
valves and sea connections.
        If there's breakage of machinery the ship needs repairing Minor repairs are usually effected
by the engine- room staff, but if the machinery requires major repairs the ship should be placed in a
shipyard. The representatives of local repair shop are invited on board the ship and the chief engi-
neer must explain the peculiarities of the work to be done and discuss all details of the repair.
        On completion of work and trials the chief engineer signs the protocol of delivery and the
agent pays money to the repair shop on behalf of the ship.
