Pre-Launch and Sea Trial Checklists

• Sea Trial: the form our crews use, written for an owner
• Machinery hours and fuel, 14 pre-departure and 7 start-up checks, 25 systems
• Performance table: speed, fuel burn, load, RPM and temperature at nine targets
• The run procedure, what the numbers mean, and an outcome and action list
