[BITList] Antarctic Cruise Ship Damaged by Massive Wave

[CT's]

you are too naughty today, hugh......................

a.    holding down bolts had not been hammer tested. many had vibrated slack. vertical plus torsional acceleration caused a bolt integrity occasion, resulting in a transverse magnitude moment. 
this facilitated one of the numerous main  engines to go automatically into float mode thus cracking the reduction gear torque decompiler.

b    one of the shaft alternator 400 cycle logic circuits was apprehended during the propeller over speed excursion.

c    sea water down the funnel - engine hydraulic lock –  nos. 3, 6 & 17 cylinder heads displaced.

d    on watch engineer thrown across control panel accidentally falling on to the emergency stop button then vomiting [or spilling his tea] over the power distribution control titration vestibule.

for discussion purposes I favour “b”.

Pass or Fail?

Colin,

A question for 2nd's (or Chief's) Part B

>From a report on an incident involving a cruise liner : "A nearly 30-foot wave damaged one of the ship's engines, causing an electrical outage that reduced power to the ship."

Discuss.

Hugh.
