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. | |

Sadly, tis true. Much neater. Probably reflects the quality of the how the ship's run, the personnel on board, that kind of thing | |

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. | |

They ought to make containers like this, so they stick together ... | |

I dread to think what “tied up and double banked” comes up with in Google. Probably one of Factuals special clubs.... | |

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. | |

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