Entry log is June 28, 2016 , TUESDAY
More and
more are joining in on the "Unsatisfied" band wagon and wanted to
leave this ship due to undesirable working conditions here. Recently I learned
that two of the O.S. riding crew here on this ship has submitted his letter of
repatriation and will be joining Fitter Amiel Lorzano and Oiler Allan Sta.
Maria in disembarking in Singapore. To what reason why O.S. will be
disembarking is still yet unknown as of this moment(thought Oiler Allan is
still undecided as of the moment), but its not surprise to learn that the
reason might be something to do with the working conditions here. After all
that's the main reason why most of
people here are unsatisfied and disgruntled , including myself because
not all (in fact none at all) that they promised was met here on this ship.
As a matter
of fact, I myself was planning to disembark here but I screwed up after St.
Eustatius when I didn’t submitted my letter of repatriation. So my only hope
now is this so called mystical "early vacation" leave - if ever it is
true on what Cf Sharp tells before we got deployed here. The moment I can only
do for now is to sit tight and relay on my skills to last at least a couple of
months before I bust out of here. I can only hope by that time , this ship is
somewhere in the Asia pacific region and the airfares are not that high in case
of an emergency.
Now the
question on those two O.S., is if their reason are valid enough to earn them a
ticket home?
In other
news.
Looks like
that O.S. "mark" will be moving in again on my cabin, and I have no
idea why they keep compressing him on my cabin. Just as this ship will be
expecting at least 3 more visitors (possible is 6) doesn’t mean he'd be booted
out of his cabin and be thrown into mine. It's annoying on the fact that I
don’t have enough space here and second , I lack the privacy having a roommate.
Don’t get me wrong I'm not angry on O.S. "mark" in anyway , but what
I'm critical about is the MLC standard of a sailor having a 1:1 ratio on
accommodations. It's a big hassled for both of us O.S. sharing a same room.
For the
info on this journal the visitors will be expecting will be some sort of
superintendents probably from DNV-GL , and another three armed security
personnel for the transit in Somalian area.
