About the personnel of complex automated vessels
The publishing house received a letter from a group of students of the advanced training courses for command personnel at OVIMU with proposals for improving the training of command personnel in the navy. They believe that with the introduction of automation, knowledge of regulatory systems will not be enough without knowledge of the facility. Devices for automatic alarm and monitoring systems, remote control and measurements, automatic operation and diagnostics are primary in the process of servicing mechanisms, devices and the ship as a whole by other specialists. Only a short-sighted manager will divide the areas of responsibility into mechanical and electrical parts. Where this division begins, there is no room for a thoughtful engineering approach to operation.
Proving the responsibility of mechanics for the state of trouble-free navigation, they rightly recall the consequences of de-energization. But where is the electrician, the one who is most affected by this de-energization? They forgot about him. However, this does not always happen.
In the early 60s, the ship's PBX systems were transferred to the electromechanics farm from the heads of radio stations. An electronic PBX with a capacity of more than 300 subscribers is installed on ships of the Belorussia type. There is no PBX technician on staff. It's such a smart car that you can talk to it. Does the chief mechanic have similar equipment? And the electronic load regulator that sets the operating mode of the main engines? In general, it seems that the mechanisms of these vessels are built at the level of the 60s, but with a modern automation and control system.
V. Golubev's article "How to train specialists for the fleet" rightly notes: "The era of complex automated vessels has arrived. We were late with the training of a new type of specialists." It remains to add that it is impossible to compensate for this delay by an unlimited increase in the load on electromechanics! None of them disdains rough work, and there are no jobs included in the duties of an electrician that would not be performed by an electromechanic.
We agree with many of the suggestions of our colleagues, expressed by them in the material "Electromechanics suggest", but conservative thinking emanates from their proposal to leave an electromechanic subordinate to a senior mechanic. In practice, this is a purely administrative subordination. It consists in signing papers prepared by an electromechanic by a senior mechanic.
We consider it correct and support the opinion of A. Taranchuk that, depending on individual training, practical experience, moral, political and business qualities, and after mandatory retraining, specialists of the three mentioned profiles (thermal power engineer, electromechanical engineer, and systems engineer) could equally be nominated for the position of senior mechanic.
We are confident that the crew of the 21st century will either not have a senior mechanic position at all (a senior engineer is possible), or it will be subordinated to a senior electromechanic (chief power engineer), and the head of the vessel will be elected. So why wait? So far, we propose to create two independent services: mechanical and electrical, subordinate to the captain.
