Training
Exercise 2
We have full scope training.
It started off with the training switch in mainly providing product training internally.
Because we have this global infrastructure, we have a global advantage over individual training
institutions, which are resident in one country.
Exercise 3
According to Peter Lund, the <regulations>, people management and <allocation/allocating> of
resources are the most important tasks of a Chief Engineer.
Having technical <knowledge> is good, but sometimes very difficult because machinery changes
so much.
It is hard to, on the <spur> of the moment, find managing skills and knowledge to <satisfy>
regulatory bodies like <survey> authorities.
As far as growing the mind, there’s nothing like travel for <broadening> the mind.

Fuel Bacteria Results in Grounding
Exercise 1
1. When the Loch Striven was to begin its voyage, she was manned with
B only a part of her normal crew on board.
2. During the first day of the voyage
C no problems were experienced.
3. When the aft main engine stopped, the crew was
C changing the course of the vessel.
4. Why were the fuel filters blocked at this particular time?
B The movement of the vessel shook loose the deposits.
5. Why did the master of the vessel not take action to avoid the engine problems?
A The problem had not been reported to the master of the vessel.
6. The fuel filters on board the Loch Striven were
A easy to change.
7. When handing over a vessel to a new crew,
B problems that might recur must be reported.
8. Fuel contaminated by bacteria can be avoided by
A draining the fuel tanks.
