We are double banked with a bulk carrier. That’s that we are tied up to her not to the shore.

Yeah on the right.

They’re the lashing bridges. We lash the containers to them.

Did wonder how those enormous stacks of containers (mostly) stay up in rough weather.

It's all about standards isn't it.

I mean, it wouldn't hurt the crew to paint a bit, maybe incorporate some nice neat little pathways like the other one...

Mostly through prayer it seems lately...

Whilst I have been asleep, a third ship had come alongside and tied up to us, to make a ship sandwich.

I dread to think what “tied up and double banked” comes up with in Google.

Probably one of Factuals special clubs....

Isn't that just sailor talk for 'we've crashed into another ship'?

As in "I double-banked into a Fiat 500 in Tescos car park the other day."

I had flashbacks to Keno for a minute there.

So have you got the day off, or is it all checking stuff and doing boaty things?

We put twistlocks in each corner of the container when loading. Plus lashing the 3rd and 4th high containers to the ship.

It’s normally enough to keep them there.

I am down to 12 hour days plus a safety round during the night.

We have maintenance to do of the whole ship, and we are fitting Exhaust Gas Scrubbers.

"Exhaust Gas Scrubbers."

There was a time you could make a joke about that.

I'm not going there though.

Good luck with all that and safe tripping home when you get on the move again.
