Enroute
to Singapore
72
hours have now passed since my arrival on this ship., and I'm still adjusting
life back at the Oil tanker.
For
a start , I'm having motion sickness again but not as severe as during my early
years as a sailor. Nevertheless its still unpleasant being sea sick again,
probably because I got too comfortable on the LNG life were the ship rarely has
a "rolling" movement.
Anyway
despite the modern and complete equipment in the LNG , I'm still thankful being
here in the liquid tanker than a gas tanker, UPL - Shell (My previous employer)
. Is still far too brutal and too oppressive for a typical Filipino sailor.
There is no force on earth that would make me go back on that god forsaken
company.
Liquid
tankers may not be as abundant or as well equip as UPL Shell gas tankers , but
at least here THERE IS FREEDOM.
For
the news on work.
Discharging
operation in Perth Australia, went along fine and there is almost little to no
problems for me handling my job. ISPS work here (guard duty on the gangway) is
a piece of cake., no incidents whatsoever.
As
for the discharging ops , I still have a few adjusting on some work here mostly
related to piping systems throughout the entire deck area,. I don’t think those
piping systems would be problem on me at all , I just need to be well
acquainted on were its located.
For
the moment , the first impression I had in working in Vanguard is generally
positive. But I still have to be on my guard as usually positive things is just
a tip of the ice berg and there's a huge possibility that the "dark
side" is well hidden. For now I have to be always on guard .
