What is machinery space?

Answer 1

Unattended Machinery Space,or UMS,is a way of operating the automatically controlled machinery of a vessel(e.g. ship);UMS Mode means that, instead of continuous watchkeeping IN the engine room , a DUTY cycle of usually 24 hours is used,during which the duty engineer is free to stay anywhere onboard the ship,provided he is in permanent control over a signalling device(control board).A class "A" of automatization of the ship is a must.

Answer 2

A machinery space is an area on a ship where the main machinery components, such as engines, pumps, and electrical equipment, are located. It is a critical part of the ship where maintenance and monitoring of the machinery is carried out to ensure the proper functioning of systems for propulsion and safety. Machinery spaces are typically restricted areas due to the presence of heavy machinery and may require special training to access.
