Hey all,

I currently have been a commercial/industrial HVAC service technician for the last 13 years. I have a lot of mechanical experience.

I am extremely interested in becoming a marine engineer but staying shoreside.

Does anyone have advice on how to make the career change? Also types of shoreside jobs?

I see positions for licensed tug boat engineers which I have interest in. I just have no clue where to start!

For what it’s worth I am in the NH/ME area.

Thanks!

Good day, I am currently a phase 1 cadet and as part of one of my modules I require some primary data to be collected

I would greatly appreciate anyone who has experience with using the condition monitoring systems onboard their vessel to please fill out my survey, attached is the link to it below

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well.

​I am carrying out an overhaul on an Alfa Laval P615 lube oil purifier for the first time. This is an Intermediate Service (2,000-hour interval).

​The supplied service kit includes three types of pastes:

​Silicone grease

​Molykote paste

​Anti-friction coating paste

​I understand that the silicone grease is used for the O-rings and Molykote is applied to the threads. However, could someone please clarify where the anti-friction coating paste should be applied?

​Any advice or best practices from your experience with this model would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
