How does the engine of a large commercial merchant ship start? This process is a technological miracle, with the engine crew following specific steps before departure.
They are the largest man-made structures. Approximately 80% of the volume of global trade is transported by them. When one sees them, they inspire awe.
These are the enormous merchant ships of hundreds of meters that travel under adverse conditions in all the seas and oceans of the world.
These enormous structures move with the help of enormous engines that deliver thousands of horsepower. They too are a miracle of engineering and shipbuilding.
But how does such an engine start? What is the process from the moment the captain informs the engine crew to prepare the engine for the ship’s departure?
