Engine Dispatch
This chapter describes the provisions to be made for transporting the engine from
the engine builder to the shipyard or final destination.
Engines are transported complete or as part assemblies, depending on the terms
of contract.
8.1
Engines to be transported as part assemblies
•
Engines to be transported as part assemblies have to be systematically dis
-
assembled and cleaned using dry cloths.
•
Each item is to be clearly identified with ‘paint ball’ pen, similar indelible
marker ink, or figure and letter stamps.
•
To ensure correct reassembly and eliminate the risk of parts from one cyl
-
inder unit being fitted to another by mistake, it is indispensable that bear
-
ings and running gear are clearly marked cylinder by cylinder.
8.2
Protection of disassembled engines
All parts have to be protected against damage by careful crating and from corro
-
sion by applying rust preventing oils or paper.
For further details refer to the latest version of the relevant
Guideline
(DG 0345),
which is provided on the WinGD webpage under the following link:
Guideline for engine protection
8.3
Removal of rust preventing oils after transport
8.3.1
Internal parts
The rust preventing oils applied to the internal parts of an assembled engine have
properties similar to lubricating oils. As they do not contain thickening agents of
wax type they will wash off easily and mix without causing harm to the engine or
its systems.
8.3.2
External parts
Wax type rust preventing oils applied to exposed surfaces of engine components
contain thickening agents of wax, forming an anti-corrosion coating when ap
-
plied. This coating has to be washed off with gas oil, kerosene or white spirit.
