what a day.......many things happen n learned today n i hope onwards onboard ship. the highlight fortoday is what i learned is something usefull, n the most happenig today is the arrival of ALAM newest practical ship.......PERNAS PROPANE, not yet sure where she's register.....she's an old ship made around 70's an for more info, much older than AKADEMI 1 that we have now. actually, she's not like AKADEMI 1, a buck carrier ship.she's a gas ship n its cargo is spesel only for propane gas........ very dangerous n hazardours ship on close or open sea......... actually she's already gas free....*insyaallah*

the thing i learn is about burner used in boiler....something commen onboard gas ship. its use as a source of ignition to start fire in boiler. same as spark plug on car engine.........then i learn about glass gauge..... the thing used to detemine water lavel in boiler.... its hot when takken from the boiler...n expensive too because of the material used........ then, i learn how to start a generator.... very important thing onboard ship....... very complecated to remember all in one day n just one try...... its start with check the oil in tank n the air bottle, make sure the pressure btween 20 bar to 30 bar b4 starting the generator......then make sure the water condense inside the air bottle being discharge.... then open the sea water inlet *the centrifugal pump* n then go to the generator....... pump the fuel oil n start the engine.... alhamdullilah i still can remember the main of the process....... i still think i left something..... oh yes, sheck the lever of black oil *minyak itam...tak ingat english dier ar..* thats all i think........
