Boiler Mountings – A Comprehensive List (With Illustration)

The boiler is one of the oldest machinery systems to be used in a ship’s engine room. In early days, the vessel’s propulsion system was powered by the steam produced by the boiler. With technical advancements and increasing emphasis on safety of ship and crew, various boiler mountings and boiler safety devices have been introduced.
