* The GS pump is used for pumping bilges, supplying
water to the fire main and on certain Lochs to transfer ballast water. Most
of the Lochs have similar pump arrangements –
MV Loch Ranza and her 3 sisters have 2 electrically
driven GS pumps, one normally set on the fire main and one set to engine
room bilge as other than grounding or collision, flooding from loose or
damaged pipe work is a common cause of flooding. This also saves time if an
emergency occurs. She also has a hand start diesel emergency pump for fire
or bilge pumping in case of electrical (generator) power failing. |
