the story of a watchkeeping officer - inside 9MCH3

entri siaran diskoveri....




i bet many of you wonders how does it looks like inside a ship...does it really looks like a hotel...or it isn't....


well...below are a photo-documentary of what is inside the accommodation of a tanker ship....where we live and work day by day....


first....

the navigation bridge....many people thought the bridge is the "jambatan" while it is not...in bahasa Malaysia it is called "anjungan".....

cargo control room - this is where the day to day operations of monitoring cargo conditions...maintaining ships stability...pushing paper from here to there...kicking the cargo pump...transferring freshwater to the engine room and vice versa...is carried out....


this place become`s the ship nerve center while at port....where loading and discharge operations are carried out ....

the bridge is the mind of the ship....while the engine room are the soul that drive`s the ship....the engine control room...or machinery control room are the souls of the ship...


from here the engineer`s monitor all the ships machinery...the main engine...generators...pumps...steering systems...electrical systems...hydraulic systems..and so on...


if the engine is dead...the the bridge have no control of the ship....

this is what drives the mariners day by day....the galley....a simple yet fully equipped galley...

laundry room....and who said we have to gonyoh baju dgn sabun buku....ngahahaha

the officer`s lounge...complete with televisyen skrin rata and a PS3.....boleh laaa...

the crew mess room...a.k.a kedai kopi pak jabit....where gossips and khabar angin about the company and many other life stories are told here....

the officer`s mess.....mostly used by the top four....a lot more like a parliament than a kedai kopi coz you have to be formal and can only talk good things bout the company....


hahaha....


come to sea and see for yourself
