    What to expect in an engine room? Blood, sweat, tears and a fair bit of profanity and that's just from Chiefy!

    Nah, in reality it's hot, humid and can be very physical on occasion, but it's the best part of the ship (unless it's at night, then that is the bridge wing). What you'll be doing exactly, best wait for Chiefy to give the advice but I imagine you'll be involved in pretty much everything, maintenance wise, as well being present for maneuvering and what not.
    I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

      You rang?

      Depending how many of u there are....most stand-bys in and out, daily counters and at other random times, TRB work, helijg engineers as 2e sees fit.

      Just the usual to any other ship and as described repeatedly in other similar threads......

      No I do not report things from here to them as they are quite able to come and read this stuff for themselves.

        Oh..free time....ha ha ha.....whatever u want its your time. Normal working is day work 0800 to 1700.....added time for stand bys etc

        There are gyms, dvd collections, the usual really. Nothing special about maersk boats other then the hue of the blue....its copyright by all accounts
