About this file
This is a detailed diesel engine maintenance start-up readiness assessment checklist used by Military Sealift Command (MSC) for their vessel operations. The checklist outlines specific procedures to be completed at 72 hours, 48 hours, and 24 hours prior to engine startup, as well as pre-start requirements.
The checklist covers comprehensive safety and operational verification steps including: verification of fire/smoke detection systems, lockout/tag out clearance, exhaust system integrity, tank closures, firefighting systems readiness, damage control equipment availability, ventilation checks, and fluid level inspections. Key technical checks include engine oil levels, cooling water systems, fuel oil transfers, purifier operations, emergency systems testing, and final safety verifications. The document requires sign-off from both the Chief Engineer and Port Engineer before engine startup can commence, with specific requirements for notifying the Master and documenting any incidents. The checklist is part of MSC's Safety Management Procedures Manual (Rev 0.2, dated July/March 2022) and applies to both regular maintenance start-ups and dormant start-up situations.
