during the investigation it was noticed that a similar fitting had been rigged
incorrectly
when are you going to see the signs
you
we made an appointment with your employer
you
the crew will be signed off from the 12th of September

you
when can we start the automatic discharging system
a crew were inspected
you
so why haven't you incinerated that bagger stuff yet well I wasn't sure if
it was okay I've already burnt a plastic and cardboard but I thought I'd better check
with you first yeah you did right if you're not sure always ask so let's have
a look what is it it's full of paint scrapings that's no problem we can put
that in there it's just the other week I was told not to put any matter in there that's right but there isn't any metal
in this bag so it will be okay

our hulls ready yet we really need to start loading that sugar you're just
finished cleaning and drying all the holds hmm I think we'll have to do
number two hulled again it still smells from that L'Escargot okay I'll do it
either now okay I'll tell the Steven
you
so what system operates on this ship it's four hours on than eight hours of
it's a lot safer that way and we're well rested so we have three watches right
yes we have watches alpha Bravo and Charlie my last ship it was six hours on
and six hours off you must have found it incredibly tiring well believe it or not
I'd actually prefer four hours on and four hours off if I had the chance
you are kidding where I suffer from insomnia and never sleep more than four
hours in any case so it suits me to be honest
you
have you heard the news no what another port state control inspector has just
arrived on board I thought the inspections were finished
I wonder if it was the man I saw on his way to the bridge
what did he look like well he was really big with very broad shoulders he had
white hair and looked quite old did he ever be it I think so and he was
wearing glasses
you
bearing over five degrees distance to put on nautical miles from Reynes
lighthouse I've located you on my radar screen
standby on VHF channel 10 if you do not hear from me in one minute time navigational assistance is ended in that
case go back to channel 71 and called Glasgow VTS navigational assistance
starts at oh nine - OH local time
you
so have you got all your equipment I see you've got the radio yes and here's my
weasel anything else I don't think so well he obviously must be like a cat at
night then what do you mean where's your torch do you happen to have a nighttime
vision oh of course I'm sorry go and get it quick
you
you look tired I am tired I haven't been sleeping well well that could be because
your cabins like your freezer and yours is like a sauna research shows that it's actually much healthier to sleep in a
cooler room than in an overheated room the temperatures ideal for me okay well
in that case I think you should cut down on the coughing you've been drinking
much more than usual haven't you that's because I've given up smoking haven't
you noticed how I've stopped coughing but yes now you
you
if you notice the difference in the knowledge of young
show's over the last 10 years well I don't think they come with the same
knowledge and professionalism as they used to do you think it's because kids
are a bit more lazy in sport nowadays perhaps they just need a bit of
discipline no there are still plenty of bright young motivated officers out
there maybe it's the standard of training in the maritime academies maybe
that needs improving well I'm not sure you can say that there are some really
excellent academies and instructors out there well I'm not sure how else you can
improve the standard personally I think the best way is to transfer knowledge
from one generation of mariner to the next good mentoring that's the solution
as far as I'm concerned
