• Engine Control Room

Most of the readings and entries shown above can also be taken from the ship's control room,
although it is advisable to take local readings. Yet these readings can be compared to those of the
remote indications. This will also give an idea about the variation in the two so that in case of any
large deviations, necessary checks can be performed. Also in case of rush hours such as
maneuvering, the engineers would know the actual readings if they are familiar with the deviations in
control room and actual readings.
