Getting to Know the Ship - The Engine Store

1. Read the dialogue and understand it in every detail.

2/Eng: Here is the Consumable Goods Store. Whenever you take something out, you should write down the date, the name and number of the article, and your name in this notebook. The First Engineer has the key to this room.

Santos: You mean this notebook hanging on the wall? There are so many articles. How can I remember each one?

2/Eng: Consumable goods are separated into three departments: the Deck, the Engine, and the purser. The Spare Parts Store is in the Engine Room. Let's go down there now so I can show you.

Santos: Are the spare parts of all the machines stowed in the Spare Parts Store?

2/Eng: Not all, but most of them. For example, the spare parts for the conditioning refrigerator plant or for the provision refrigerator plant are stowed near them, and some parts for the main engine are in the workshop.

Santos: Hmm, supplying seems rather hard work. How do you manage that?

2/Eng: To control the supply properly, we must note the date and the number of the part in the spare parts list in the Engine Control Room. We have been thinking of introducing a system to enter all of the data into a computer. It would control the spare parts inventory on the ship or on shore.

KYT - Tool Box Meeting in the Engine Control Room

1. Read the dialogue and understand it in every detail.

1/Eng: Good morning, everyone. Third Engineer, did you sleep well last night?

Santos: Yes, I slept very well. I feel great today.

1/Eng: That's good. OK. Let's start today's meeting. I wrote our three tasks for today on this whiteboard. Second Engineer, will you explain the first task in detail, using 5W1H?

2/Eng: Yes, sir. The first task is to overhaul the main engine's exhaust valve. I will be the leader, and the No. 1 Oiler and the Third Engineer will work together with me. Our job is to clean the inside of the valve and to change all of the 0-rings and seat-rings.

1/Eng: Thank you. Let me know when you are about to take out the valve spindle and take off the valve seat. Pay attention to the following points so that you don't get injured:

- avoid dust, which can get in your eyes, nose, and mouth;

- avoid getting your fingers caught in the gaps between the spindle or the valve seat, and the casing body;

– don’t get hit by the spindle or the valve seat if the ship moves suddenly;

- be careful that the spindle or the valve seat doesn't fall on you if a haul wire breaks when shifting the load. Third Engineer, will you repeat these points?

Santos: Yes, sir.
