Marine ICCP - Impressed Current Cathodic Protection, application and advantages on board ship
The metal lying underneath the water are affected the
electrolytic or galvanic corrosion. This will leads to the reduction of the
thickness of the steel plate. The corrosion takes place as a result of the flow
of current between one metal and other metal in a solution. Here the solution
is sea water and the metals are the dissimilar metal area and the appendages of
the hull. This will lead to formation of an anode and cathode. Current will
flow from the anode to the cathode. Likely the ions from anode get deposited on
the cathode. The flow of current takes place from Anode to cathode and the
respective position of the metals in the galvanic series decide between anode
and cathode.
These anodic and cathodic areas exist in the ship’s
structure due coupling of metals of different compositions and potentials,
physical difference in grades, deterioration of metal or non-uniformity in
painting. Once such an area is formed, then the rate of corrosion accelerates
very fast. So as far as from owner’s viewpoint, it’s very important to avoid
the corrosion of the hull
The best method to avoid this issue is by introducing an
additional metal, which is more anodic to the existing metals on the ship’s
hull. The additional anode which will ultimately be sacrificed may consist of a
metal at the negative end of the galvanic series that is more electro negative
to the existing metals. This can be an ally of Aluminium, Zinc or Magnesium.
The basic principle is that the anode loose metal and cathode metal receives
the current and will remain intact and corrosion free.
A Direct Current is introduced into these metals. ICCP stand
for Impressed Current Cathodic Protection. The system consists of Anodes,
reference electrode and a controller power unit.
With the main hull protected, consideration should be given
to protect the propeller, exposed shaft and the rudder. They are made
electrically common to the hull. The propeller and the exposed shaft are
protected by grounding the shaft to hull with a slip ring. The rudder is grounded
by bonding the rudder stock to the hull.

B) unapproved chemicals can lead to toxic conditions in the system leading
C) To destruction of protective coatings
D) Unapproved chemicals can kill aerobic bacteria making the plant ineffective

28) After ofver hauling reciprocal pump the motor connections were wrongly given. Determine outcome when pump is started?
A) The direction of flow wl remain unaffected
B) the direction of flow wl b reversed
C) The pump wl get damaged because the suction valve wl block the reverse flow causing overpressure leading to pump breakdown.
D) The pump wl lose suction N there wl b no flow.
29) U R responsible for daily transfers of engine room bilges . U follow the sequences aft –fwd (P)-fwd(s) bilgewel n u hv never experienced a problem but 5/E started the transfer n first transferred forward (s) bilgewel n without any problem n u join him later u find that bilge pump is not taking suction fr f(p) n aft bilgewel n then u hv checked everything is normal. what is the cause.
A) 5th engineer made a mistake by 1st transferring the fwd (s) bilge wel, normal sequence of operation for engine room machinaries should not b disturbed.
B) fwd (s) Bilge wel suction valve is leaking
C) Bilge pump suction filter cover gasket is leaking.
D) Fwd (s) Bilgewel suction filter cover gasket is leaking.
32) The centrifugal pump r normally
A) Positive displacement type
B) Rotodynamic
C) Screw type
D)Gear type
33) Sludge pump suction pressure is going full vacuum when u start the pumptaking water of double bottom tank suction u hv checked the suction filter n found in clean condition. Taking suction fr fuel oil sludge tank does not happen. Causes of the problem.
A) Pump is not working efficiently n reqd. overhauling
B) F>O> sludge tank suction valve is leaking
C) W.O. tank D.B. tank suction pipeline has a blockage.
D) Can ???say what is the problem but definiterly the pump needs to
b opened up for overhaul

d) Aluminiumwl b subject to preferential corrosion when in electrical continuity with zinc in presence of an electrolyte.
36. Ballast pump injection filter was cleaned n the pump was lined up it wasfound that there was some leakage in the suction filter suction. The pumpstarted n the leakage started. During deblasting it was found that the pumpcould not take suction fr one of the double bottoms. The cause could be
A) Pump was drawing air fr.
B) Pump was drawing air fr suction filter
C) One of thepipelines on the suction side of the pump might be leaking
D) The filter was not cleaned properly.
37. The most imp. control measure to prevent boiler tube failure is
A) Use of proper refractory mtrl.
B) Proper maintenance of fuel burning equipment
C) Proper maintenance of boiler water condition
D) All of the above
38. When one of the M/E.F.O. heater is not in use then
A) The F.O. inlet n outlet valve should b kept shut, but steam heating valves should b kept crack open so as to keep the heater warm.
B) F.O. inlet n outlet valve should b kept shut n heating valves also should b completely shut n should b drained of any remaining F.O.
c) F.O. inlet n outlet valve should b kept crack open so that the F.O. recirculation can take place.
d) F.O. inlet n outlet valve should b kept shut while outlet valve should be left open so that
39. The gland packing of centrifugal pump should hv
