Maybe or maybe not, try it yourself with some Jenga blocks, it’s easier to knock them over side on as opposed to beam end on.Wonder if anyone has thought of turning the containers 90*. They wouldn’t be so likely to fall off then
That’s because we get more and more of that lot over here...Suspect its the same the world over. What surprised me in Africa and parts of South America, how they build a house, put a wall around it, then throw their rubbish over the wall, as in Im all right Jack stuff you. But the same is happening here in some respects with fly tipping, constantly on the increase.

There was a report in the late 1990's saying most are or were lost due to no retaining or insufficient retaining clamps.Wonder if anyone has thought of turning the containers 90*. They wouldn’t be so likely to fall off then

As this decreased the time needed to load or unload.
I got sent this recently:
Its only time to worry when you have one foot on the alleyway deck and the other on the bulkhead above the handrail.Can testify to that, have been on a few of the triple e class ships, it takes one hell of a storm to get them rolling, with thier anti rolling tanks etc, but when they do it is really horrible and the forces involved are pretty nasty. Makes it very difficult to even stand up, constantly getting chucked to the deck and it feels like a huge weight has been place on you and is either crushing you or hanging from your neck dragging you down. Then you transition to the opposite role and it basically feels like 0 g.
Don’t know how you Do it, while I can cope with heavy ferry crossing, I know its not going to last long. Going to sea is a different game all togethe.Its only time to worry when you have one foot on the alleyway deck and the other on the bulkhead above the handrail.
I spent some time on a paragraph product tanker, little thing that didnt need a radio officer. Due to noise and vibration, they had cut the accomodation off and refitted it with a rubber mount to isolate it.
Was an interesting experience crossing from the Baltic to Iceland in winter. So when pitching as the hull changed direction the accomodation was a moment behind!
The annoying thing is I can mostly survive all the rolling and pitching may feel a little off or that I have to sit down or lie down for a bit but nothing too bad, usually take it as an excuse to do that job i have been putting off down on the bottom plates, but im still sick every time I go on a bus without fail its really annoying.Its only time to worry when you have one foot on the alleyway deck and the other on the bulkhead above the handrail.

I went to sea long enough to get my tickets, one lesson most learn at some point is going to sea is for fools and fish, even @Robbie260 will realise this if he hasnt already. That said, its a well paid interesting job, where you carry a lot of responsibility from a young age.Don’t know how you Do it, while I can cope with heavy ferry crossing, I know its not going to last long.

Yes I was a fan of that tedious job on the bottom plates under a fan. On that little product tanker I used to often sleep on the deck, as the bunk ran the wrong way and the day bed wasnt long enough to get comfrtable.The annoying thing is I can mostly survive all the rolling and pitching may feel a little off or that I have to sit down or lie down for a bit but nothing too bad, usually take it as an excuse to do that job i have been putting off down on the bottom plates, but im still sick every time I go on a bus without fail its really annoying.
To right about having a lot of responsibility from a young age, while I was 4th engineer I was generally the youngest guy on board at 20 and that was including the cadets and painters. Stayed like that for a long while now I'm 25 and I'm 3rd I have moved into the position of generally sharing being the youngest on board between a me and a few others.I went to sea long enough to get my tickets, one lesson most learn at some point is going to sea is for fools and fish, even @Robbie260 will realise this if he hasnt already.

I left to work at home lasted 3 years, in which I spent more time away from home for various reasons.
I then went up in the North Sea. Basically I have worked or played on boats all my life. I spent 9 years working on a floating production ship west of shetland so Id say Im fully familiar with big waves and green water. It wasnt uncommon to be delayed due to helideck movment, at times was over 120 feet vertical travel.
All ships should have the facility to put the furniutre in bondage for rough weather to prevent sliding about not sure who cruise ships etc get away with it, as I thought it was part of the "rules". A life jacket under the edge of the matress is usful too if bumpy.

You don’t have to book a cabin to Shetland so on the way out I sleep in the kiddies play area, its like a big padded room with chocks to stop you rolling aboutI went to sea long enough to get my tickets, one lesson most learn at some point is going to sea is for fools and fish, even @Robbie260 will realise this if he hasnt already.

Last time I was on that ferry, I had a cabin, but didnt make it there. Twas when the 225 choppers were grounded, after a couple dropped out of the sky and they choppered us to Shetland, but there were no fixed wing seats south!You don’t have to book a cabin to Shetland so on the way out I sleep in the kiddies play area, its like a big padded room with chocks to stop you rolling about
For Simmer Dim?I’ve visited Shetland for the last 15yrs
Cant stop laughing at that.
