PRE-LISTENING S.Off: Yes, there it is. This system makes navigation much easier. I think you learnt how to use it before. Yang: Yes. By the way, is this vessel equipped with GMDSS？③ S.Off: Yes already, I’ll show you later. Yang: What about ECDIS? ④

PRE-LISTENING S.Off: No, not yet, but we intend to install one in the near future. Zhou: Why, I haven't noticed the VHF⑤ radio telephone. Yang: Look, it’s there on that wall. (Sees a clock).
