Engine room officers

The engine room of a ship is not just a room filled with complex mechanisms. This is a vital part of the ship, where all the key technical systems are concentrated, the serviceability of which determines the safety, its efficiency and the ability to overcome any sea expanses. Speed ​​and maneuverability directly depend on its functioning. The officers working in the engine room play a major role role in ensuring the stability and reliability of these systems.These specialists must have not only in-depth knowledge of the engineering and technology of ship equipment, but also continuous readiness to solve the most complex problems on the high seas.
