  5G Networking We live in a world where we all are dependent on faster internet and a virtually connected lifestyle. All we look forward to is having great internet and the right gadget to live the day. We literally eat, breathe, talk, listen and work on technology. The mobile network and internet connection plays a very important role when we speak of work and leisure. As the mantra states- “Faster is better!”, speed and technology play a very crucial part and we all are totally into faster internet for better productivity.   Earlier, we all know how big was 4G LTE network was all about. Now we all are set to bring in the upgraded and smarter connectivity option, known as 5G. The latest talk of the town is considered as a very fast and swift mode of connection. But what exactly is 5G all about? Let us know more about the technology and why is it so much in the talks.   What is 5G? The latest 5th generation mobile network is 5G, which is one attention seeker in t...

   DIESEL OIL SYSTEM General Process system description: Ships marine diesel engines run on Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), nowadays a low sulphur content, or Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) or Marine Fuel Oil (MFO). The diesel oil system has as its purpose, Receiving          Storage        Purification and distribution of diesel oil to the various users on the FPSO. The main function of the diesel oil system is to provide purified diesel oil to Topsides Main  Turbo Generators (Package A/B/C) Port and Starboard (Package D/E/F),  Fire water pump Day Tank  (5-TA-  1710A/B/C/D),  Inert  Gas  generators  Day  Tank  5  TA  1210  A/  B  and  Hull  users Essential diesel generator DO day Tanks 4TA 6520A/B/C,  Emergency diesel generator DO day tank 4TA 6710, Life Boat  refuelling, Crew Boat refuelling and Fast Rescue Craft refuelling.

BILGE SYSTEM 1.1.1      BILGE SYSTEM The Bilge is the lowest compartment on a ship, below the water line, where the two sides meet at the keel. Introduction: The bilge system enables water and oily water to be removed from machinery spaces, pump rooms, void spaces and other compartments.  There are two suction lines for emptying each bilge well. The first line is connected to the bilge through bilge main pumps (or daily bilge pumps) which have 5-10 m3/hr capacity. The second line is the direct bilge suction (or emergency bilge suction) and must be connected directly t emergency bilge pumps suction. This is used in emergency and at least two direct bilge suctions (or emergency bilge suction) must be provided at machinery space in each pontoon area in semi-submerisbile project and pump room and aft & forward machinery spaces in FPSO project. It is a classification requirement that the bilge system has an emergency connection that is connected to the largest se...

Oil Crisis After the oil crisis hit in full in 2014, many companies in both the maritime sector and the oil industry have had to downsize. The youngest workers often make the weakest because they have the lowest seniority, and lose their jobs as a result of this. At the same time, many of the industry veterans have to say yes to work they are over qualified. Managing Director of the Norwegian Maritime Officer, Hans Sande, says they do not know exactly how many have formal skills that are higher than their level of employment, but that there are many. "We do not have figures on this, but just see how many boats are in stock," he says to Sysla today. - Tell you that it was important for you to work The oil city of Stavanger has also noted a greater inflow of over classified applicants for positions in the municipality as a result of the downturn. But what does it really mean for your job chances if you have a position you are over qualified? Research from the Uni...

1.        INTRODUCTION A Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit is a floating vessel by the offshore oil and gas industry for the processing of hydrocarbons and for storage of oil. A  FPSO vessel is designed to receive hydrocarbons produced from nearby platforms or sub-sea template, process them, and store oil until it can be offloaded onto a tanker or, less frequently, transported through a pipeline. The FPSO, as its name suggests, is a floating contraption that allows oil rigs the freedom not just to store oil but also to produce or refine it before finally offloading it to the desired industrial sectors, either by way of cargo containers or with the help of pipelines built underwater. The use of this system ensures that shipping companies do not have to invest even more money by ferrying the raw and crude oil to an onshore refinery before transferring it to the required industrial areas. In simple terms, the FPSO sa...
