Fire Fighting, Controls and Simulator Laboratory detailed syllabus for Marine Engineering (Marine) for 2021 regulation curriculum has been taken from the Anna University official website and presented for the Marine students. For course code, course name, number of credits for a course and other scheme related information, do visit full semester subjects post given below.

For Marine Engineering 6th Sem scheme and its subjects, do visit Marine 6th Sem 2021 regulation scheme. The detailed syllabus of fire fighting, controls and simulator laboratory is as follows.

Course Objectives:

• To impart Practical knowledge of fire fighting
• To understand and practice hydraulic and pneumatic control systems on board ship
• To train the students in simulator for the operation of Marine Machinery fitted on board ship

Marine Engineering Fire Fighting Laboratory

EXPERIMENTS

1. Fire hazard aboard ships – inflammability, fire extinguishing use. Control of class A, B & C fires.
2. Fire protection built in ships, extinction systems, and escape means.
3. System for tankers, statutory requirements for fire fighting systems and equipment’s on different vessels.
4. Fire fighting equipment: fire pumps, hydrants and hoses, couplings, nozzles and International shore connection, Construction, Operation and merits of different types of portable extinguishers.
5. Non-portable and fixed fire extinguishers, installation for ships. Properties of chemical used, bulk carbon-di-oxide, and inert gas systems.
6. Firemen outfit its use and care, maintenance, testing and recharging of appliances, preparation, and fire appliance survey.
7. Fire Control: Action required and practical techniques adopted for extinguishing fires in accommodation, machinery spaces, boiler rooms, Cargo holds, galley etc.,
8. Fire fighting in port and dry dock. Procedure for re-entry after putting off fire, rescue operations from affected compartments.
9. First aid, Fire organisation on ships. Fire signal and muster.
10. Fire drill.

Course Outcomes:

Upon Completion of the course, the students will be able to:

1. Prevent, detect, and extinguish different types of fire onboard ship and provide first aid.
2. Operate Hydraulic and Pneumatic control equipment, systems and components.
3. Start, Operate of Marine Machinery and Watch keeping onboard ship.
