Responsabilidade do chefe de máquinas

Abstract

The Maritime transport is responsible for the distribution of most imported and exported goods around the world, being of great relevance to the world economy and international relations. I also emphasize the increase in the world population, motivating the multiplication of the consumption of food and energy goods, making the maritime traffic of goods increasingly fundamental and emphasizing the importance of the oceans as a connecting territory between countries. Therefore, qualified and properly trained professionals are vital for the proper functioning and integration of the global logistics system, which has led national and international bodies to regulate this sector with attention and mastery regarding the operational and occupational safety of those involved. The International Maritime Organization (IMO), as a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN), has the responsibility for the protection and safety of navigation together with the Brazilian Maritime Authority for Waterways Standard (NORMAM). Thus, in order for there to be operational proficiency in this century characterized by automation and technology, the Chief Engineer, responsible for the engine room, plays a key role in the conservation and operability of the main and auxiliary systems that constitute the driving force of maritime transport, without which there is no operation.
