Ensure there are adequate manufacturer’s instructions and operational procedures for all machinery and equipment.
Maintain an appropriate level of engine and machinery spares onboard.
Ensure timely, safe, and economical execution of all dry-docking and major repair activities.
Manage general and engineering expenditure within approved budgetary limits or allowed variance.

Safety, Security, and Compliance

Ensure all engineering operations comply with class, flag-state, harbour, and port-state control requirements.
Maintain the vessel in a condition that satisfies statutory and trading approvals.
Uphold company safety, security, and environmental policies and emergency procedures in accordance with the Safety Management System (SMS), ensuring engineering elements of the SMS are continuously maintained, reviewed, and improved.
In collaboration with the Chief Officer, ensure the maintenance and safe operation of firefighting, lifesaving, and emergency-related equipment.
Maintain all pollution-prevention, electrical, electronic, and control systems in full operational readiness.
Ensure the safe loading, discharging, and handling of bunkers and cargo fuel oil.
Actively participate in drills, inspections, and safety meetings, supporting the vessel’s Safety Officer.
