As I have had no luck seemingly on the two ships lifeboats, no air and Nightriding problems to date hereby is an easier one perhaps. For me possibly the most unusual job away from the engineroom and on a ship in my entire career to date. It's Saturday night, 8 pm, ships just docked 2 hours late after a rough trip from Cherbourg to South Coast UK and enclosed is the view greeting you when the STB. Stern door is opened and the first 4 trucks driven off the ship. Skipper and management work out that a failure to sail at 10 am next day will cost the firm £125,000.00 Now it's down to you, you are the Chief and as such it's your responsibility to solve this problem, no one else can help you on this one. So come on you aspiring marine engineers, how would you do it? How was it done? It took me about three and a half hours to get the fellow on the right back on his feet and off the ship, he grosses in at 44 tons in weight. Clues? I have a very large tool box to try and cater for every eventuality plus One assistant only.image.jpg
