2. Monitors the main lube-oil-sump level;
3. Monitors the main lube-oil-gravity tank for continuous overflow, as appropriate;
4. Monitors the lube oil pump suction and discharge pressures and lube-oil supply pressure to the main engines and applicable lube oil strainer pressure drops;
5. Monitors the oil-return temperature from each bearing and indicators for continuous flow;
6. Checks turbine rotor axial position indicator as applicable;
7. Checks turbine vibration indicator as applicable;
8. Monitors main condenser sea water inlet and outlet temperatures, main circulator pump suction and discharge pressures, and check water boxes for leaks;
9. Monitors main condensate suction and discharge pressures and main condenser hot well level;
10. Checks air-ejector equipment pressures and temperatures ;
11. Checks auxiliary exhaust steam pressure, shell pressure and water level in deaerating feed tank;
12. Monitors main condenser vacuum and turbine exhaust temperature;
13. Notifies the watch engineer of any unusual or unsafe conditions, unusual sounds, or vibrations; and
14. Takes proper action to prevent safety and pollution violations.
