🔍 Key Concepts

• Overspeed protection requirements for main propulsion engines on inspected vessels • Difference between a governor (normal speed control) and a separate overspeed trip/device (safety backup) • Typical percentage above maximum rated speed that safety devices are allowed to tolerate

💭 Think About

• What is the purpose of an overspeed device in addition to the normal governor on a main engine that can be declutched or has a controllable pitch propeller? • If the governor fails or the load comes off suddenly, what could happen to engine speed, and how tightly should that be limited for safety? • Look at the percentage above rated speed mentioned in each option: which one sounds like a realistic safety margin for an emergency trip rather than normal control?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether regulations call for a separate overspeed device in addition to the normal governor for engines of this size and type • Compare the stated overspeed percentage in each answer (15% vs 20%) with what you know about typical maximum permitted overspeed values • Check if any option incorrectly suggests that using a certain type of governor (hydraulic or mechanical) makes an additional overspeed device unnecessary
