Yes guys,,,,Ours is not an easy job. Were just like an army going to war. Big waves & pirates are our enemies.

[*sludge*]

By the way *sludge*, were in a chemical tanker ship, mas delikado among kargamento, (health hazzard),,,,, but all I can say is mas nice ang buoyancy sa tankership compared to other ships, mura sad ug submarino kamao sad mo sisid among barko kon abtan ug bad weather. hehehe

Ma identify dayon ang ship kon gamay ra ang accomodation area ug ga taas lang nga daghan ug pipes and halos naka lubog.
Since among karga kay naa sulod sa tanks submerge sa dagat and you are right, its subject to temperature maong kon mo gahi we will apply heating process, we have to be very careful w/ everything coz its highly volatile, unlike containers nga e patong patong....and if the distribution of their cargoes is not well planned it would really matter coz their will be a tendency nga ma top heavy.

Kon maka kita mo ug ship nga ingun ani ug porma like gamay nalang ang color black shown at this particular picture it means were heavy loaded w/ cargoes, pero kon mo daku ang black color that means empty tanks me ana. Kusog kaayo ang swaying kon bakante but kung puno nice ride jud.

With the question as to where the oil is coming from, all ships kay naa jud karga nga bunker oils para dili sila kanunay mag refuel esp. on a long journey, It might be that because of the heavy load plus the strong waves, it surpassed the bending moments of the ship lalo na if na igo ug coral reefs and naay part sa hull or wherever at the engine area nga ni crack during the strong waves maong ni leak ang oil. The chief officer plays a very important role in the shipping industry. So kutob rata sa speculations,,,Nobody is perfect....investigation is still going on, its for them to decide.

This is our present ship

exactly my point mam, was sailing also before with oil-chem carrier, bulk and container mao mka compare ko nila with respect to it's cargos ...

nka pangutana lang ko ug asa gkan ang oil kay ako ra gi base ang pic, i thought wala sila ma bahura..hehehe wa man ko tan-aw2x news gud

Thats fine *sludge*, Am now confused,,,,,I have read that the grounding occurs on a well-charted reef in calm weather during the Second mates duty, Which is which ? Grounding or bad weather first? hope we can have more updates of this particular incident, for an added information, knowledge & lessons learned for us Seafarers. We are not perfect.

For the Capt., Its like a baptism of fire on his first command , I know its hard for him to bring back his self confidence. But am sure he can recover in due time. I had my share also of marine pollution in China yrs. ago,
but i surpassed the crises during the investigation since there were 3 ships who passed the same way and our ships logbook/daily reports didn't tally their findings. I hate to recall, but its a lesson learned.
