For 4,000 years mariners have gone to sea in ships and boats, and for 4,000 years a certain number of those mariners and ships and boats have not returned. During the history of seafaring, mariners have made many mistakes and those that survive learn to change their behaviour. These lessons are translated over the years into traditions. Old mariners pass on these traditions to young mariners.

🫣Real Talk: We deal with Inspections preparations, we stress our soul to get through with it; We deal with problems and defects onboard especially in old vessels where everything literally starts to break down; We report to office our concerns, and they simply asked us to rectify as soon as possible; We asked for spares and service technicians, that thing is beyond our skills, they push our engineers to do it and spare parts comes after months of waiting; We ask them support, they gave us paper works, checklist to fill up and procedural documents to protect the company’s reputation; We deal with the Inspections with all our heart and energy without proper rest. 🤗We pass!!! But We never hear “Thank You” from anyone sitting in that airconditioned office room But if we fail, everybody’s pointing fingers on us That is how life of a seafarer is onboard; so if there is a chance to escape such things do it as quickly as you can…don’t stay too long if seafaring is not your real passion🤔 See You In The Next Inspections😅 Photo ctto. #seamanslifeonboard #seafarers

The Captain's job is not an easy job and it is full of unpredictable surprises. Whatever happens to the ship, everybody is asking the same question: "Who was the Captain?", and it is also the easiest means to blame the Captain for everything. Those Captains who want to be successful Shipmasters, need to have lot of skills, continuous full concentration and of course, should have a lot to luck (No Luck-No Success). ©

Safety of persons, ship and safety of navigation in general, is very important. Every advice is welcome and the best advice will come, no doubt, from practical experience. All those who "write" Safety rules should have the feeling for reality. As an Officer of Theory and Practice, I say the following: "The useful, valuable, acceptable maritime theory is the only one, which is easily applicable in practice". #Copied.
