While making a round in the lower engine room you discover a leak in the suction pipe to the main salt water pump. How would proceed to correct this problem?
• Engine room emergency response and temporary repairs • Maintaining integrity of seawater (salt water) systems under pressure • Distinguishing effective temporary repairs from unsafe or ineffective actions
• Think about which option actually controls the leak in a positive, reliable way while the system is still in use. • Consider what materials and methods are normally acceptable for piping repairs in a pressurized seawater system. • Ask yourself which choices would be considered unsafe negligence or clearly inadequate as a repair method.
• Does the method provide a positive mechanical seal suited to a pressurized salt water line? • Is the action something that would be acceptable in a safety inspection or audit as a temporary repair? • Does the option show active corrective action rather than just observation or delay?
