Preparation for compensators
If compensator(s) are initially omitted, the engine
can be delivered prepared for compensators to be
fitted on engine fore end later on, but the decision
to prepare or not must be taken at the contract
stage, option: 4 31 212. Measurements taken dur-
ing the sea trial, or later in service and with fully
loaded ship, will be able to show if compensator(s)
have to be fitted at all.
If no calculations are available at the contract
stage, we advise to make preparations for the
fitting of a compensator in the steering compart-
ment, see Section 17.03.
