You may now even have time to sit down and enjoy a well deserved restful cup of coffee!

Lets just hope he doesn't do it again when we get ready on the famo and start ordering parts for that lol


The jokes here are just baaaaaaad by the way haha

On the subject of blame, im sorry but the captain is the only one who should be responsible. he should know his ship and its limits and should know where he can pass.
if there is doubt you play it safe, not take a risk with something like that. but accidents do happen and we are but human so will get it wrong.
at least that is what i have told myself when the car has been pointing in a different direction to what was intended lol

Ever since the first supertankers which actually look quite small in comparison with todays VLCCs they have been built down to a price so a single engine with a single screw and a fully automated bridge with a very much reduced crew is the norm,
When the ship is new sailing under the flag of a decent company all is well but when she is on her 3rd owner it is just a matter of time before disaster strikes on what by then is an unreliable old lady looking for an accident.
The prewar merchant fleets which transported the Empires goods around the world were an excellent example of sound engineering practice and built on the Clyde by men who took pride in their workmanship and then came Doenitz with his Untersee boots and the world changed for the merchant navy forever :thumbdown:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

She's in Felixstowe today. Wonder if she'll get stuck there too!! She can always ask the Harwich foot ferry to tow her off ;)
