This video shows one of the ship’s engineers entering the engine room to check the ship’s engine and to consult with another engineer.

Points of interest for teachers:

  • Note the noise when the engineer enters the engine room.

  • Both engineers have to wear ear muffs.

  • Consider the challenges of communication in this environment.
