Awesome.

Отличное видео! Всегда интересно посмотреть, как работают речники других стран. Члены экипажа участвуют в ремонте?

[@Jack-yl7cc]

Crew members are always involved in any repair or maintenance work but, outside help is also brought in. Usually there is also support contracts with vendors for expensive systems such as the engines, so that if something beyond normal maintenance is required(like an engine rebuild) then the vendor will send people to handle that work.

[@ВладимирПавлов-л4ь]

​@@Jack-yl7cc понятно, спасибо! У нас даже замена двигателей доверена экипажам судов, т.к. изначально имеем нужное образование и опыт. Но принимать работу и оформлять документы и лицензии приезжают, как правило, представители производителей механизмов. Есть ли в США единый стандарт на техническое обслуживание и состояние речного флота? Связан ли он с требованиями Международного Морского Регистра? У нас сейчас очень многое приводят к морским требованиям. Зачастую это очень недальновидно. У речного флота своя специфика и не всегда морские требования соответствуют речным. Стараемся это корректировать, внося свои замечания.

@@ВладимирПавлов-л4ь I've never met a ship's engineer that couldn't repair and maintain every system themselves, so it's not a skill issue for why they don't do the work themselves during a scheduled maintenance period. The reason they normally don't do that kind of work unless it is an emergency is because the company that owns the ship is trying to appease the Insurance companies to maintain their rates. At the end of the day the ships only follow the US Coast Guard Maritime law or the International Maritime Register requirements because the insurance companies require them too. In the US it's rather disturbing the number of times I have seen the companies bean counters figure out that it is cheaper to avoid doing what is required by law because the fines or penalties are just rounding errors in their books. I also consider myself to be rather lucky in that I've worked with some old timers that gave me some very sound advice early on and that is my personal safety is my own personal responsibility. Which has been proven time and time again when even the personal safety equipment provided by companies I've worked for is all sub-standard compared to what is commercially available. An example is being provided with hearing protection that is only rated for 16 dB of noise reduction when I can go to the local hardware store and easily find hearing protection rated for over 30 dB of noise reduction.

I know. There should be.
