So this is a post service on my skillful together with bad experiences generally from my final contract onboard, when i was the solely cadet. direct hold fun lol
Good Experiences
This was an extremely skillful sense for me equally this solely happens i time every twosome years or so. By luck(hehe), my vessel Armada Tuah 21, or AT21 for brusk was chose amongst a few other vessels to undertake the functioning of replacing the Shell LCOT mooring stretchers that are used to secure the tankers who come upward to load/discharge. I was extremely happy that i got to live involved inwards this functioning to the indicate i woke upward early, together with slept slowly together with thus i wouldn't immature lady it. It was quite a long together with taxing procedure involving quite a lot of coordination but was all worth it for experience' sake.
Another skillful sense i had was an anchor treatment functioning with the accommodation workboat MV Dayang Opal @ E-11 Oilfield. This was a personal affair for me equally my dad was i time involved inwards a helicopter crash a mere twosome miles from E-11's master copy platform equally he was closing inwards to land. It was cool for me to direct hold been at that spot to run across the house where he crashed, allow lonely function at that spot for a while. Besides that, equally you lot tin run across inwards the background, nosotros had to manually wind a tonne of steel cables. It wasn't fun, but it was a skillful sense either ways.
As i mentioned before regarding Labuan unsmooth crude oil terminal inwards the get-go pic, experiencing together with watching it was great. Having done or together with thus maneuvering that solar daytime nether the supervision of my Captain together with C/O was awesome too! And it wasn't or together with thus steaming around. Which was prissy for a change.
Bad Experiences
So at that spot was this i officeholder onboard i of my ships, both of which volition non live named. So this guy I tell u ah. I'm non quite certain why but it was similar nosotros were destined to loathe each other. Its non similar either of us did anything to deserve each other's loathe but it merely led that agency somehow. It was alright at first, existence a cadet together with all there's non much room to phonation out opinions, much less nearly higher ranking officers. One day, i woke upward on a normal solar daytime equally i commonly do, preparing to larn upward for duty. xv mins early, equally always. Little did i know, this unnamed officeholder who's been having issues with me decided to tell the capt or together with thus stories nearly me (made up, obviously), together with i spent the side past times side lx minutes getting a complimentary roasting from my capt on things i apparently did. That was the unmarried most degrading solar daytime of my 365 days onboard. But life goes on. And nosotros hold a professional person friendship til today.
Second bad experience. So at that spot was a solar daytime inwards Labuan Port, amongst ASB jetty equally nosotros ever do. Going amongst commonly brings us uninvited guests(from office), provisions, cargos together with materials nosotros ordered for the stores. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 calendar month prior to this nosotros had mistakenly received the incorrect supplies together with the bosun was ordered to shop it, equally it was his labor to live inwards accuse of it. Coming dorsum to the story, supplier came a calendar month subsequently to supplant the false supplies. Me on duty, was instructed past times the 2/O to obtain the false supplies to live returned to the supplier. Naturally, i went to the bosun who was non surprisingly asleep during duty inwards his room (dude was quite useless, he got kicked out the companionship a twosome weeks later, inwards the side past times side bad experience). As shortly i had opened the door together with asked him where the supplies were, he shouted together with said he didnt know. He told me to enquire the C/O who was asleep, off duty, at the time. So half-heartedly, i went to wake the C/O to enquire him where the suppplies were. Boom. Gets a pissy explanation nearly how the C/O gave to bosun together with an AB at the time. Great! More people to wake. So i move on to wake the off duty AB to enquire him where they were. Sure enough, kene blast lagi. Furious from getting screwed for no reason, i went dorsum to the bosun's room. Soon equally i opened the door he got upward hastily throwing his pillows together with materials around, shouting at me equally he left the room, call for me to await for it myself. I entered his instantly empty room, together with opened 1 drawer that commonly has supplies inwards it. information technology WAS THERE IN HIS ROOM THE WHOLE TIME OAIEDOQHENOQIWN(refer to flick inwards a higher house for my reaction). Went on to modify the supplies to the correct ones with the suppliers spell the bosun sat side past times side to the guy. As i left the messroom where the supplier was waiting, i heard the bosun complain nearly me to the supplier for existence a bad cadet (waking him up). I blew upward together with gave him a alert infront of the supplier. Supplier gave me a thumbs upward infront of the bosun together with laughed at him. Needless to say, it was a stressful forenoon but im glad it ended somewhat bittersweet.
Lastly, i of my worst experiences was when i almost died onboard because of the really same bosun above. Due to my bosun's lack of science during an anchor treatment operation, his instructions together with lack of coordination skills caused the 4" diameter thick steel function cable belongings a giant buoy to larn stuck on i of our deck equipment, causing the wire to component along with the corporation cement oculus at the destination of it flight dorsum towards the 2/E together with myself. The cement oculus flew dorsum faster than a blink of an oculus together with the side past times side affair i realised it was on the flooring a twosome feet away from me. I looked upward at the wall together with honor a giant dent inwards it. Worst of all, the bosun couldn't live bothered to care. After this, that bosun was blacklisted from the company. That was scary.
