Taking Over at the Engine Room
Read the dialogue and understand it in every detail.
1/Eng: Third Engineer, we're now changing the main engine exhaust valve. Remember, whenever you work in the Engine Room, wear a safety helmet and don't pass under any heavy machinery that's suspended from hoists.
3/Eng: Yes, sir.
1/Eng: Meet Hashimoto, our previous Third Engineer. He'll show you around and teach you what to do.
Hashimoto: I'm Hashimoto. Nice to meet you.
3/Eng: I'm Manuel Santos. Nice to meet you, too. Please show me everything you can. This is my first time on a Japanese ship, and I want to learn as much as possible.
Hashimoto: The Third Engineer is in charge of several machines, such as the provision refrigerator, the air conditioner, the evaporator, their auxiliary pumps, and onboard electricity, etc. He's also in charge of maintaining the fuel oil, including purifier maintenance, keeping the logbook and filing the noon report. You should read the Third Engineer's takeover notebook to get the details.
3/Eng: I'm confident working with electricity and the refrigerators, but I'm not so sure about controlling the fuel oil. Please teach me as much as you can. Hashimoto: Of course. This was my third ship as a Third Engineer. And what matters most is training, not studying.
3/Eng: Thanks. By the way, I'm surprised at how clean it is in the Engine Room.
Hashimoto: Thank you. To work efficiently, it's really important to keep things clean and tidy. It also helps you quickly spot any trouble.
