Hello everyone, welcome to my channel. Ship life is hard and what makes it even harder is adding more hurdles to the uncountable already existing ones as if we did not have enough. I faced with one such hurdle when we were transiting Southern South African waters not long ago. We came along a patch of dense thick fog which engulfed our entire ship from forward to aft. In such situations we can only rely on radar for navigation and sound reception system for efficient hearing of sound signals. Lookouts must be doubled and watch keeping levels must be increased.
Although this spell of restricted visibility did not last long but I had a good experience. In the afternoon when everything was clear, I went on deck and interacted with our new Thai crew who had specially come all the way from Thailand for deck upgradation work. Our ship is 15+ years old and in a very poor state. So company has specially sent this team for repair work. We also have a new deck fitter who is also sent for similar repair work.
