Although pumping in or pumping out is one of the jobs of the oiler in some other ships, it is vital that all crew in the engine room must be familiar with the operation. In the end, it is still the engine crew will repair the pump, etc., if there is a problem--

Ballast pump is used to fill the water ballast tanks in the ship. It is also used to empty the water ballast tanks.

When the loading of cargo is quick or fast, usually two ballast pumps are used to pump out water from the water ballast tanks. But do not start it by yourself just becase you feel it. There is a responsible officer for that. He will tell you when to start the ballast pump.

Ballast pump is also used to fill cargo hold with water.

Ballast pump is also used for ballast exchange. This is in accordance with MARPOL. This has to do with the microorganism in water.

Hey, do not start the ballast pump right away. Calculate if the generator can carry the load once you start the ballast pump. Otherwise, you need to start another generator.

Before you start the ballast pump, be sure the right valves are already opened.

Drawings of the pipe line will help you find the right valves to open. This diagram is always available in engine control room. You can always trace up the lines to see the correct valves too. Most of all, you can ask the dity engineer or the old crew because they know it than you do.

Bonus points: do not leave right away when you start the ballast pump. Always observe. The packing may be too loose. In that case, you need to tighten it a little bit so that the bilge well will not accumulate a lot of water.

Always look at the pressure gauge when you start the ballast pump. The pressure gauge will tell you if the pressure is normal or not.
