This study was conducted to investigate and determine the requirements for the automation and control of coal-fired, marine steam propulsion systems at reduced manning levels including periodically unattended machinery space operations. Six major tasks were conducted to develop those requirements including four data compilation and synthesis tasks: a literature search; a survey of shoreside coal-firing and coal-handling facilities; a survey of manufacturers of coal-firing equipment and associated automation and control systems; and, a survey of the requirements of various marine regulatory agencies and classification societies insofar as automation and control are concerned, both in general and specifically for coal-firing. The fifth task was the development of a philosophy and approach for marine automation and control in general and for coal-fired ships. The final task conducted a functional analysis of fourteen machinery systems and developed the various automation and control requirements for these coal-fired colliers.
