Re: Paris Mou Huanghai Developer
What is the point of ISM and inspections if they only arrest for 3 days and let them sail away?
I read the pdf last night and was pretty shocked. I guess I should be happy I'm working on pieces of junk on the great lakes instead of brand new chinese owned and crewed vessels

Re: For the economic geeks among us
Haha. I'm still wondering how we're able to sell 11 billion to saudi arabia, yet we can't build our own ships in a timely fashion? I guess it's easier to build small stuff and sell to desert dwellers? Or perhaps that 11 billion is only in promised equipment? Seems really sketchy to me. Happy new year.

Re: Fatigue and Rail
We go over 16-18 hours sometimes. We almost never get 6 hours of rest, even after a crazy day. This last week was really crazy. If I complain I will lose my job (more accurately, told to "think about moving on")... I currently work on board harbour tugs, but with a crazy on call system...t...

Re: Fatigue and Rail
I agree. I'm pretty sure that's just part of sailing and I'm not sure how we'd ever get around those occasional long days. I don't think they're that bad at all until they become a serial problem. I think fatigue is a real issue and if they really cared about safety, there wouldn't be a push for sma...

Re: Fairmount Shipping Vancouver looking for Tech Super
You're right and I agree Banasa, but...how much is a 3rd engineer's salary deep sea? The great lakes salaries are the way there are because of the working conditions and crew cutdowns leading to more overtime. IMO anyway. I think the people who dream up these ads are not the same people who hire/mak...

Re: Mutiny and ER fight
Wild. What's even more hilarious (to me!) is that island of Mauritius is where my parents were born! They immigrated to canada in the 70s. Island in the middle of no where.. can't tell you how many times I've attempted to explain the location to curious people. Also cool to see a Mauritius helicopte...

Re: Canada Transportation Act Review - Report
Thanks all for your honest answers. I'd just like to say thanks to you guys for keeping this website going and full of current issues that affect us all directly. What's the best way for younger engineers to try and make a difference? Easier said than done of course (understatement of the day). I to...

Re: Canada Transportation Act Review - Report
I'm trying to get back into sailing, after taking a couple years off to try another trade. Is it really getting that bad out there? When I was sailing, people then were always doom and gloom too. Turns out I was lucky in my first career path after all! Hope there are still jobs out there. I have to ...

Re: Jobs at McKeil
Hey all. I have very similar experience working there years ago. They truly do put new staff in crazy situations, little to no safety...the experience made me quit sailing for a long time. That superintendent that martin mentioned is probably someone I went to school with, and the attitude doesn't s...

I have seen contractors use belzona to repair camshafts, during my cadet days. Seemed shady at the time, but have seen it quite often out there

Re: Russian Ship Adrift Off BC Coast,,,,,
I also live on vacouver island. The headlines anytime anything marine related occurs always make me giggle / cringe. You'd think the locals would know a little more, being victoria and all... I constantly ask people how they plan on getting oil to the island sans tankers...all I get are blank stares...

Re: Volvo piston
Could not agree more JollyJack. Even in my limited experience (compared to you guys) it was easy to adopt that attitude. The photos remind of a marine engine we had shipped to us. Hole blown through the crankcase doors, piston skirt seizure, crown melted into popcorn.. good times. Also caused by a l...
