Paid 115.9 for super derv today, 108.9 for unleaded and 120.9 for super unleaded. Costco - Liverpool are killing the competition nearby. My fills costs me £7 less over V-Power Nitro derv!

Hopefully soon! One reason while I'll never sail on Pax boats, far too many people on them nowadays, I'm surprised there hasn't been a more serious accident to be honest. It doesn't matter how fast people can evacuate. It's getting the people to evacuate and the oncoming mass panic and hysteria!

A 5 day discharge is unheard of on bunkers too now. 190,000 tons of iron ore emptied in 28 hours... I hear different things about alfa laval... Though ours trip when the ballast pumps come online. What's it like on the tugs? I'm looking to come shore side in about 10 or 15 years

South Korea built (sections), assembled in the Philippines... Make of that what you will. I prefer Japanese builds. Ironically, out of my friends, 6 deckies and I'm the only engineer.

I've probably past it/sister ships around China. We seem to visit Qingdao a lot.

When there's not a typhoon wreaking havoc, the Philippines/Indonesia/Australia is beautiful. 40 degrees outside, 55 degrees inside! China isn't so pleasant, it's filthy.

If sitting around drinking coffee waiting for something bad to happen is hard graft, then yes! The only time I worked hard was during Super Typhoon Neoguri... 20 degrees of roll and a burst cooling pipe, ****ing marvelous!

Crash stop from 18mph, 15 knots, 4 miles? Turning circle? Not even going to guess! MPG: 0.03 to the gallon, burn approximately 40 tons of fuel per day and cover 250 miles at slow speed for economy! Unfortunately I don't drive it, I fix it when the window lickers above break it!

My current ride is a Seat Ibiza Fr Tdi remapped to a nice 150bhp. Plenty of poke for a 1.6 and manages 65mpg, not like that's going to matter with the Zed (when I get it)! Work ride is a 300m x 50m beasty with a 22,000HP straight six... Unfortunately she's a bit heavy and has a top speed of 18mph...

Always good to know! This industry is all about that, who you know, not what you know... I'm aiming to get one trip or so with my current company to get the first stamp in my book, then bugger off to BP for a few years! Nothing against my company, but it's hard being the only native English speaker on-board... Frustrating at times! Whats the deal with Targe? Time for time?

Not paid badly, but better than some other companies. I prefer saving my money for something i'll enjoy for a long time than one night I'll never remember! My preferred tipple is V-Power, but the derv kind at the moment! Or HFO while away...

It's expanded to Engineering now and more offshore facilities than you could imagine! There's probably still a few of your lecturers there... Guessing you hail from Knott End? Lovely place to escape from the wildlife of Fleetwood! I'm currently with Rio Tinto Marine, operating on the North and East side of Australia, running iron ore to China, managed by a prominent Glaswegian management company...

Hello all! My name is Chris, I'm 23 from the North West... Living between two homes, Costa del Fleetwood and the Wirral. I'm a trainee engineer in the merchant navy and looking for my first RWD car and what better than a 350Z! I have read that there's a few merch members on here, interested to see what line/company you're with! I'm not looking to get a Zed until this time next year, but doing my homework and man maths to make it work! Hoping to work my way up the range as I progress through the ranks, the ultimate goal is a GT-R! I'm bored of the typical eurobox hatch... Currently driving a Seat Ibiza Fr diesel... fun but not 3.5L of fun! Great site and look forward to getting involved more as time goes on!
