The Engine Room Procedures Guide has been developed by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) for use by marine engineer officers and ratings responsible for operating and maintaining engine rooms on merchant ships. The Guide, now in its second edition, is primarily intended to provide guidance for chief engineers and other members of the engineering team working on all types of ship, but it should also assist shipping companies and training institutions.
The Engine Room Procedures Guide sets out routine and emergency engine room procedures and checklists for use by the ship’s engineering team. It provides clear guidance on best practice approaches to operating and maintaining engine rooms, and all the equipment they contain, in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. The Guide embraces and promotes adherence to internationally agreed standards and is intended to complement regulations and recommendations adopted by the United Nations (UN) International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Many of the procedures outlined in this Guide are already in widespread use across the industry and may seem obvious to experienced crew. However, feedback from ICS member national shipowners’ associations suggests that incidents still occur, even during routine procedures. The aim of setting down basic procedures in a best practice guide is to further improve safety standards across the global fleet, consistent with the concept of continuous improvement which underpins the IMO International Safety Management (ISM) Code.
Since the first edition was published in 2020, the Engine Room Procedures Guide has started to enjoy a similar degree of recognition and authority as its longstanding sister publication, the widely used Bridge Procedures Guide.
This second edition of this Guide has evolved to incorporate the new technologies and procedures that the shipping industry requires to meet their decarbonisation goals. For this reason, ICS has developed new sections for ships that:
Use LNG as a fuel on non-gas carriers;
Use biofuels;
Bunker alkali; and
Carry out low load operations.
Based on lessons learned, IC3 has also updated the sections on topics including exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS), enclosed space entry, ballast water management, and preparing for inspections, to further improve and develop engine room team understanding.
