A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional), Maritimo-Pesquera family: module 1177 Procedimientos de guardia de maquinas (Tecnico en Mantenimiento y Control de la Maquinaria de Buques y Embarcaciones, Real Decreto 1072/2012) and module 1314 Organizacion de la guardia de maquinas (Tecnico Superior en Organizacion del Mantenimiento de Maquinaria de Buques y Embarcaciones, Real Decreto 1075/2012).
The learner is a newly qualified engine officer on her first contract aboard the only ro-ro of a fictional short-sea shipping company from a fictional port in Asturias, keeping the engine-room watch over the four quarters of a year.
Eight watchkeeping decisions over four rounds: how the watch is taken over, how an engine is started, how six simultaneous alarms are handled, how a fuel transfer is run, what is done with the bilges while the oily water separator is out of order, how a blackout leaving port is recovered, how the emergency equipment is tested and how the year is closed.
Scored on voyages on schedule, engine-department cost a week, alarms not normalised in time and engine-room incidents; three tempting choices come back later, and two critical errors (the bilges pumped overboard bypassing the separator, the emergency tests written as done without doing them) cap the round. Lesson: with simultaneous alarms, prioritising matters more than acting fast. Training level only.
Spanish primary, English parity. All companies, ports, ships and people are fictional.
