So on Sunday instead of enjoying my last weekend here in Singapore with Lily, I went and spent 8 hours on the same ship, riding in to the shipyard with her. Hoo-ah! Here I am with the team from the office.
Today the ship was so empty you could see her propeller sticking up above the water.
Hello, my name is Dave and I am wearing a jumpsuit.
The bridge. It was very quiet as the local harbor pilot was on board, coordinating the ship engine, steering and the inputs from the four tugs helping the ship in.
Look, we are actually moving!
Fancy a dip?
One of our tugs, with a liquified natural gas carrier in the background.
Mmmm, industrial. These are oil drilling rigs under construction or repair. The whole Western end of Singapore is industrial on the scale of North Jersey (or maybe worse).
Close-up of a semi-submersible oil drilling platform. This platform floats.
One of our ships under conversion into an offshore oil storage vessel.
This is another one of our ships under conversion to floating storage. This one is almost finished. The Queensway was then docked alongside this ship.
Two tugs maneuvering us into place.
Alongside and tied up. We had to walk through a dirty, dangerous shipyard with no helmets after we got off of the ship, and then take a bus home. Well organized!
