During maneuvering, it is possible to operate the engine from the control room, the
bridge or the local maneuvering stand.
Operation includes all maneouvers from the first start at cast off until the last
maneuver when the vessel is moored.
The engine is designed to operate with heavy fuel oil (HFO) from pier to pier, i.e.
without a change-over to diesel oil.
When the engine is stopped, the fuel flows through the fuel pumps if the booster
pump operates.
The necessary conditions of HFO before operation are as follows:
D The HFO is correctly treated.
D The HFO is kept at the correct temperature during the full in-service period,
which includes manoeuvring and stand-by.
