A Meeting in the Engine Control Room
Read the dialogue and understand it in every detail.
1/Eng: Good morning, everyone. It will be a hot day today. Wiper, you don't look well. What's wrong?
Wiper: I'm fine. Just a little sleepy. I was reading last night until quite late.
1/Eng: Being tired makes you less attentive. That can lead to accidents. Be very careful. I've written today's tasks on the whiteboard. Does anyone have anything else to add?
No. 1 Oiler: During the MO check this morning, I found out that the delivery pressure of the No. 1 main engine fuel oil supply pump was 0.5kg/cm2 lower than usual.
1/Eng: Is that so? I didn't notice. (He exits the control room to confirm the information and comes back a few minutes later). No. I Oiler, you're right. Its suction pressure is lower, too. Dirt must have accumulated in the suction strainer and caused this pressure drop. One of today's scheduled tasks was to clean the fuel oil pump. Third Engineer, I want you to do this job and take No. 1 Oiler and the Wiper to help you.
No. 1 Oiler: After we finish cleaning the fuel oil pump, can I do the third scheduled job on the list with the Wiper? That is cleaning the Engine Room floor.
1/Eng: Yes, you may. Third Engineer, why don't you come back here after you've done cleaning, and I'll explain the machines in the Engine Room to you.
3/Eng: Yes, sir. I will. I don't know much about them and I've been a little worried about that.
