They took it. I'm stunned, didn't expect that. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...gv823gW&cf=1

My father in law was on the AKADEMIK IOFFE, Sounds like there was some pretty serious damage... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/kugaaruk-passenger-ship-refloated-arctic-1.4799050

Random question. On vacation in Charleston two weeks ago and the kids got interested in where all the ships were coming from and going to. We ended up tracking a car carrier on marinetraffic.com (Sirius Highway, if anyone cares) and it appears to have changed it's destination port a couple times (originally listed as going to Belgium and being there 5 days ago), spent a few days anchored in the Irish sea, and is finally back underway after what seemed like an unplanned stop in England and is now headed to Germany. So is the free version of marinetraffic.com just flakey, did the ship really have a bit of a weird crossing. The kids want to know what's up and I don't know what to tell them.

If they were empty they might not have had a return contract. Car carriers are a bit of a weird trade though so I don’t know.

I gotta imagine it wasn't empty because there was another one loading up off of a rail yard full of BMWs from the SC plant but maybe? I guess if it's weird it's weird and that's still something for the kids to learn. Couldn't believe how big the ships were though. Like a giant floating box with a little bit of a bow. Didn't even really look like a ship.

There might have also been other rolling stock cargos in the vessel for the other ports or to load in the other ports. They don't just carry cars. Anything with wheels or that one can secure to a mafi can ship on a roro: Ag equipment, bulldozers, even factories in cases on mafis.

http://www.kline.com/CarCarrier-Schedules/Car-Carrier_RoRo_Sailing_Schedule.pdf its a kline ship. baltimore loads a shitton of junk cars and ag equipment so it probably wasn't empty.

On the Green Cove, we drifted off Japan for 6 weeks waiting for production to start up after Fukushima. We finally got cargo and went to Australia with cars and heavy equipment before returning to Japan. There we grabbed more cars and heavy equipment, stopped in Honolulu, Lazaro Cardenas, went through the canal and hit San Juan, Florida and I got off in Baltimore. Their return trip was supposed to work down to Houston and then head to south America, through the Straights and back to Japan. It all really depends on what cargo they can find but the run is nowhere near as fixed as box boats. Also, like Brandor said. You can load trailors, tractors, tanks, whatever. We just carried two food truck trailors, a bunch of Navy ATVs, some FEMA trailors and assorted other crap. lightpole fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Sep 6, 2018 |

I just received the weirdest loving email. Well, the email itself wasn't that weird, but it was weird that it was sent to me. The email was from the department in a town administration that runs a small local ferry, referencing a conversation between the sender (who has a crewing department function, I think) and the supposed recipient who's a mate on the ferry, and contains time sheets and other slightly personal stuff. This mate has the same first name as me and his last name KIND of sounds like mine, but the difference is pretty distinct. How the gently caress did that get sent to me. It wasn't a totally random ferry either. The island it serves is where my grandparents lived until 20-odd years ago, so I've taken it quite a lot during my lifetime, but last time was maybe a year ago, and it's not like they collect email addresses. I wrote back to the dude, but no reply so far.

BrandorKP posted:Consumer is getting scrapped. Saw that. They were putting as little as possible into it so it was falling apart. The day 2nd job on there is where it's at. Still, air conditioned control room on a steamship is awesome. Writing is on the wall for all those steamships though, 2020 is it. That's a big loss of billets and a bunch of dedicated steam engineers coming over to compete for diesel jobs. Keep getting hit by hurricanes in Honolulu, this is not how it's supposed to go!

I'm looking to do a cadet term on an international line. the domestic stuff I've done here in Canada is lacking... My goal is to learn as much as possible, and from what people are telling me, my best best is working international. Unfortunately, our placement office doesn't have much advice how to get a work term/ job with anything outside of Canada. anybody have recommendations?

Almost time to go back to the hall, booooo. Whenever I forget how to fix some problem I spent three or four months dealing with daily, it's time to go back.

Question for offshore people: I've got a masters unlimited, and I went back to University a few years back to do a Mechatronics engineering degree. I'm about a year away from finishing that degree. Does anyone know what is required for ROV operator/maintainer or Electro Technical Officer roles? Or I might just end up back on the bridge, but in a better position to annoy the marine engineers 😀

Most of the rov crew I've been with had either electrical engineering or electrician trade. Some had backgrounds in hydraulics but they were less common. When times were good a heart beat and a bst were enough to get a full time with the big operators but we aren't quite back to that level yet.

Yeah it seems like formally trained people are in the office except academy mates/engineers, we had a random EE sailing ETO at HOS on a diesel electric osv for a while but he got bored and went back to designing motor controllers out of his garage. Honestly an experienced master unlimited with formal training in robuts should probably find a like really specialized shoreside role right?

There was a goon who had a job shoreside programming drone ships or something, go do that. Don’t loving sail after you have your sea time in if you have a degree, this is how you end up crazy.

TOTE seems to me like a significant signifier. Maybe they’ve changed since they, you know, killed 30 people.
