PRIOR TO FULL POWER TRIALS, THE PROPULSION PLANT SHOULD BE OPERATED AT A HIGH PARTIAL LOAD POWER LEVEL FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO HOURS TO THOROUGHLY WARM UP MACHINERY AND STABILIZE OPERATING TEMPERATURES.

PROPULSION FULL POWER TRIAL

A. FOLLOWING MACHINERY WARM-UP, THE SHIP'S PROPULSION PLANT SHALL BE GRADUALLY INCREASED TO FULL SHAFT HORSEPOWER AS LISTED IN COMSCINST 9094.1B. POWER DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED USING A CALIBRATED SHAFT HORSEPOWER METER AND/OR BY THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER'S NOMOGRAPHS AND BRAKE SPECIFIC FUEL CONSUMPTION CURVES.

B. ONCE LISTED FULL POWER HAS BEEN ACHIEVED, A MINIMUM PERIOD OF 30 MINUTES SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR PROPULSION PLANT STABILIZATION PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE PROPULSION FULL POWER TRIAL.

INSPECTION/TEST PROCEDURES

C. THE PROPULSION FULL POWER TRIAL SHALL BE CONDUCTED FOR A MINIMUM OF FOUR (4) HOURS. DURING THIS TIME ALL VITAL PROPULSION PLANT PERFORMANCE RELATED OPERATIONAL DATA AND SPECIFIC BRIDGE DATA SHALL BE RECORDED HOURLY.

NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF COMSCINST 9094.1B RELIEVE THE MASTERS AND CHIEF ENGINEERS OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OPERATING THEIR SHIPS IN A SAFE AND EFFICIENT MANNER AND OF EXERCISING GOOD JUDGMENT WHEN ENCOUNTERING ADVERSE WEATHER, EXCESSIVE SEA CONDITIONS, VIBRATION OR SIMILAR CONDITIONS.
