The maintenance and inspection of the boiler system is extremely important for our safety and correct operation of the boiler. Therefore, daily, weekly, monthly, half yearly and yearly check of the boiler components are provided. Engine room simulators are used to support critical crew training objectives. The simulators provide a complete scientific insight into systems, machines, mechanisms and everyday operation, detection and correction of problems. In addition, engine room simulators help teamwork, adaptation to different situations, and decision-making in a crisis situation. The deployment of new and more sophisticated systems for master and auxiliary machinery management required the development and implementation of special automated training systems. These modern tools have led to time savings, a resource and a significant increase in learning efficiency. Most of the fires in a machine and boiler room are caused by a cracked pipe combined with a hot surface. It is necessary to professionally and quickly respond to the discovery and removal of the problem. Engine room problems affect not only the crew there, but also the safety of the entire ship. Upon occurrence of malfunctions, students / operators respond to a check sheet or model of work. Too often, technical failures are present as a concomitant cause of accidents, but this can not always be detected and reported. Augmented reality as an approach to interaction provides unlimited opportunities to familiarize operators and learners with real-time knowledge and environment. Adding elements of the added reality to a purely engineering environment such as machine room work (simulator) transforms the way engineering engineers interact with technology, equipment, and provides unlimited access to knowledge. The concrete model of a ship used in the machine simulator is the MAN B&W 6S50MC-C Diesel Engine Product Tanker of the ERS TehSim 5000 simulator for ship mechanics, connected to the navigation simulator, providing feedback to the engine room. Work on the power of such a ship is extremely important in response to the growing global demand for energy accompanied by limited emission of harmful emissions.
