Welcome Aboard Mariners Alike - Malaysia Rule The Waves

its hard to describe how a man could left everything he had on land and went out to sea...
its even harder to describe how bright the stars at night and how fresh the cool morning air when you are in the middle of the ocean...
the hardest thing is to describe how close you are to death and how god could took your life at any time...
come to sea and see for yourself...

GOD SPEED AND FAIR WINDS


come to sea and see for yourself

this blog is dedicated to mariners,navigators and seafarers alike, merchant or naval for others to had a glimpse of what we do and what we faced in the vast blue oceans.

the story of a watchkeeping officer - the tales of MT Bunga Banyan

entri naik kapal lagi
the NineMikeLimaOscarSix - MT Bunga Banyan at Lahad Datu Anchorage
this page went silent 5 weeks ago...due to sudden call from my corporation to join MT Bunga Banyan...

well..like always..and like all those who are loyal (loyal lah sangat aku ni) to this corporation...i agree to join and relieve my fellow mate onboard...thus making a record of 3 years of consecutive hari raya celebration onboard....well three years is nothing compared to others who had not been able to celebrate Eid at home way longer than myself...coz till now i had known others who had not been back for 5-6 consecutive year...

 anyway...the B class...like what others called this ship (due to all the ship in this class were named after flower starting with letter B...i.e Bakawali..Begonia..Balsam and Banyan) is a much different world compared to the Melati class tankers....

larger ship...larger cargo capacity...a lil bit longer and deeper (sounds like a porn..?) but less crew onboard....plus its a new ship...just a year old..compared to the seasoned Melati class which already reach 15 plus years....and a lot of new things to learn....

 generally...all ship is the same....but there are differences from one ship to another that one must adjust self to familiar with it...

 plus...voyages here are much longer compared to the Melati class....crossing Pacific and the Atlantic or going around Magellan Straits or South Africa is a norm....while Panama is the main transit canal for these new and massive lady....

 ports are also attractive....apart from China and Malaysian ports...this ship calls US ports in the eastern seaboard and the Latin Americas....a must for a mariners like me to experience at least once...

 new ship...new experience....

this will be the turning point...i might stay with this corporation for a little while...or i might stay here till end...ending up not venturing to other corporations which was my initial plans...

well man can plans whatever he wants....but God still have the power to decide what is what...

till then...
