Death On Duty Or Rescued

Merci!

A man was rescued after his cargo ship sank in the Sea last Saturday. According to marine accident specialist investigation the man spent 48 hours in the Sea praying and floating with the help of a life jacket. The man was rescued by marine conservation organization Sea Shepherd and the Liberian coastguard off the West African Nation (WAN).

The Niko Ivanka cargo ship has left the Liberian capital Monrovia on July 17th even after it was forbidden to do so due to the failure to meet basic safety requirements.

Later that afternoon, the ship's crew sent a distress signal; the ship had partially sunk by the time help arrived.

They were 19 people on board as per the official records. 11 people were rescued within 36 hours after the distress signal was sent, Liberian Maritime Authority spokesman, Eugene Nagbe said,

"However, the people who were rescued from the waters said that there were 28 people on the ship. This means that 17 people are still unaccounted for.

Liberia's deputy information minister Jarlaywah Tonpose told Reuters that exact number of people on board the Niko Ivanka remains unknown. The vessel was not a passenger-authorised vessel and yet it had passengers on board. So in the coming days, investigation will establish how many people were on board.

Have you ever been in a situation that your life is placed on the line or better still put in a scenario that will change the faith of tens of thousands of people. If so what did you risk?

The is these saying, remember me when I am gone for my life was well spent.

I, for instance, am leaving in a hold where people expect either:

1. You are the smart one,that all see.

2. You got all the money and fame, all see.

3. You are of importance in a city or world due to your field of work.

This keep me guessing, what the bloody point of proving to people.......?

CRANEAGE OPERATION PROCEDURE & SAFETY MEASURES

Have you ever been on a vessel with a crane? Even if so, this article might be enlightening to you. ship cranes are all the same except in terms of capacity, as some outperform others. Modern-day cargo vessels and some tug boats have cranes installed on them due to the need to load and offload material from one ship to another without any incident. That's why we have crane officers who use the so-called sign language International known in the marine industry in operation with the crane operator as a guide on how to execute a successful craneage operation. 3.1 some problems encountered Before the craneage operation FORWARD HEADING LOOK OF A TUG BOAT ⛵ Before any operation is usually carried out, a toolbox talk is carried on to discuss with the team involved on how they will carry out the job with respect to the JHA (Job hazards analysis) and how to avoid or prevent them or how to move on in case it still occurs.

Alpha Hawk and RT MARGO work hand in hand to remove Milaha Explorer from jetty at CNIC LIMBE

1400hour LT Cameroon - Limbe, Milaha Explorer vessel requested assistance to get out of the jetty of CNIC LIMBE. Two vessels namely Alpha Hawk and RT MARGO assisted this event. The process was simple in theory but complex in practice. Nevertheless, Milaha Explorer was removed successfully and towed its way out of the key. This exploit was performed by Cameroonian Seafarer who gave it their all in achieving this task with efficiency and effectiveness. Towing the ship was through the difficult part. M.V Alpha Hark and RT Margo had to pull the vessel at its port and starboard respectively. If not the vessel might have rolled horizontally into the Sea. RT MARGO had to lash their rope for a few meters to reduce the tension in the rope; this safety measure is not taken by most towing vessels at sea and thus, we find cases like the vessels back lass destroying a part of the vessel or in the worst scenario ending someone's life.
