Equipment - Giso (English spelling) equipment

Japanese: 艤装 - ぎそう（英語表記）equipment

Ships

This is a general term for construction related to various equipment, facilities, piping, interior work, etc., carried out from the completion of the hull, the main part of a ship's structure, until the ship is ready to be put into service. Typical examples include steering gear, mooring gear, navigation instruments, and communication equipment in the maneuvering-related fields, and main engines, auxiliary engines, shafting, and propellers in the propulsion-related fields. Other examples include cargo-handling equipment, cargo hold facilities, accommodation facilities for passengers and crew, transportation equipment (stairs, ladders, passageways, boarding equipment), life-saving equipment, and firefighting and extinguishing equipment in the safety-related fields. Items related to the whole ship include piping equipment, ventilation equipment, air-conditioning equipment, control systems, electrical wiring, etc. Of these, important functions, control and electrical systems are tested during land trials, onboard tests, and sea trials.

aircraft

As with ships, this refers to the process of fitting and adjusting the various equipment and devices on an aircraft after the outer shell is completed so that it can function and be used as an aircraft. In other words, in parallel with the assembly of the outer shell, the engine, flight controls, landing gear, hydraulics, electrical equipment, compressed air, air conditioning, anti-icing, communication and navigation equipment, and related instruments and computers are fitted and adjusted. In passenger aircraft, there is also the installation and adjustment of cabin-related equipment, such as seats, galleys, coat rooms, restrooms, passenger entertainment systems, emergency equipment, etc., and in military aircraft, the installation and adjustment of armaments.

In addition, on ships, crew members are assigned to the ship from the outfitting stage and train on the ship, where they oversee and inspect the process. On the other hand, on aircraft, except for special aircraft, the equipment is complex and extensive, but the crew is small considering the number of aircraft, there are many aircraft, and the specifications are standardized. Therefore, crew members train at the training facilities of the aircraft manufacturer or user separately from the work on the aircraft, and oversight and inspection of the process is carried out by specialized inspectors.

船舶

船体構造の主要部である船殻が完成してから船が就航できるようになるまでの、各種機器、設備、配管、内装などに関する工事の総称である。代表的なものとして、操船関係では操舵(そうだ)装置、係船装置、航海計器、通信装置があり、推進関係では主機関、諸補機関、軸系、プロペラがある。また、貨物に関する荷役装置、貨物倉設備、旅客・乗組員に関する居住設備、交通装置（階段・梯子(はしご)、通路、乗船装置）、安全に関する救命設備、消防・消火設備もある。全体に関するものとして、諸配管装置、通風装置、空気調和装置、諸制御系・電気配線などがある。これらのうち重要な機能、制御・電気系統は、陸上試運転、船内試験および海上試運転によって試験される。

［森田知治］

航空機

船舶と同じように、外殻ができあがった機体に、航空機としての機能や用途を果たすため諸装備・装置を取り付け、調整する作業をいう。すなわち、外殻の組立てと並行して、エンジン、操縦装置、着陸装置、油圧、電気、高圧空気、空調、防除氷、通信・航法装置、および関連する計器類やコンピュータの取付けと調整を行う。旅客機では、さらに客室関係の装備つまり、座席、調理台、コートルーム、手洗所、乗客娯楽装置、非常用装備など、また、軍用機では武装関係の取付け、調整などの作業がある。

　なお、船舶では、艤装の段階から乗務が決められた船で乗組員が工程の立合いや検査を兼ねて訓練を行うのに対し、航空機では、特別なものを除き、装備が複雑、広範囲な割に乗組員が少ないことや機数が多く、仕様が統一されていることから、乗組員は機体の作業とは別に航空機メーカーやユーザーの訓練所で訓練を行い、工程の立合い、検査は専門の検査員が行っている。
