On the MV Transitor there are five decks. The engine room is below 

the first deck. There are three rooms on the first deck: the galley, the 

laundry and the storeroom. Above the laundry there is a hospital. It is 

on the second deck next to the ratings' messroom. To the right of the 

ratings' messroom is an office. There are no cabins on this deck but 

there are cabins on the third deck. There is one cabin for the Pilot and 

one for the Chief Officer. Between them is the officers' messroom. 

There is a cabin for the Master on the fourth deck between the radio 

room and the Chief Engineer's cabin. The radio room is to the left of 

the Master's cabin. The bridge is on the fifth deck.
