Read this extract from an official online manual for marine safety inspectors. What special
features of the

vocabulary and grammar do you notice?

The inspector shall thoroughly check the watertight door systems to verify that they are

in satisfactory operating condition. The enclosures for all local control door switches

and controllers should be examined for evidence of water Dr corrosion. It has been

found that faulty operation of electrically operated watertight doors may be caused by

seawater entering the local control switch located at the watertight door. If seawater has

entered the switch enclosure, it may short circuit the motor starter and motor so that the
door opens even with the wheelhouse control indicating the 'closed' position. To the extent

practical, the inspector shall also be satisfied that the ship's personnel are familiar with the

watertight door system, location of disconnect switches, etc.
