The scope of activities of a chief engineer & his responsibilities
on a time chartered vessel:-
At the time of on-hire survey, the C/E should accurately calculate the
bunkers r.o.b. so that there is not any discrepancy in the bunker
quantity.
Since the charterers provide bunkers to the vessel, C/E should always
calculate the quantity of bunkers at all times.
The vessel’s speed & fuel oil consumption are dictated by the
charterers, the C/E should make every effort to oblige the charterer’s demands
in respect to the speed of the vessel and fuel oil consumption; e.g. charterers
may want the vessel to proceed with economical speed or stipulated full speed
etc.
Such things should be clearly taken in to account.
A particular attention is to be paid to main propulsion machinery &
any equipment which is important for full operation of the vessel, so as to
minimize/reduce the breakdown, so that the vessel is kept operational for the
charterers use, reducing the downtime required for maintenance, during which
the vessel remains off-hire.
The C/E should keep engine room log books available and accessible for
charterers or their agents
