Question: You work for a company that is responsible for the management of seven motor tankers which are approaching being 14 years old. They were built as some of the first "double hulled" refined product oil carriers fitted with an Inert gas system and deep-well pumps.

Their next dry docking/survey cycle is being planned and you have been asked, as a senior employee in the engineering department of the company, to write a report discussing the following:

The problems associated with, and the most efficient use of, a multicultural workforce before and during the dry docking/survey. This should include consideration of the various tasks the shipboard staff could be used for during the voyage before the dry docking, and what management issues you would expect to have to overcome.

How the vessels will be required to meet the latest environmental legislation relating to ballast water, hull coatings and efficiency gains. This should include the value of recording operating temperatures and pressures of all the different engine operating parameters to ensure the efficient operation of the plant before and after the docking.
