I. Translate into Russian. The routine at sea

Ships have standard routine for in port and at sea.

A ship usually has to keep working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This sets the routine for those on board, determining when they work and what they do. The type of ship also decides the routine.

The working day at sea is divided into six four-hour watches. Traditionally, a bell was sounded every half hour, so “eight bells” signified the end of one watch and the beginning of the next. At the end of each watch there is a formal handover of responsibility. In the engine room, details of any problems are passed on. In both the bridge and engine room, logs are written up as formal records of such details as course, speed, and engine revolutions.

Each engineering officer will usually be allocated two watches throughout the day. The seamen who steer the ship, lookouts, the firemen in steamers, and greasers in the engine room would also be allocated two watches. All have to sleep and take their meals when off watch.

Certain officers and members of the crew work outside the watch system. The master and perhaps the chief engineer may not stand watches, although they would expect to be called at any time there was a problem.

Some of the seamen will not be on the watch, but on day work. Catering staff and stewards will also work to their own timetable, determined by the needs of preparing and serving meals.
