Hello, i sailed as OS and AB in1967 till 1969 on the Krebsia,Kelletia etc and later from 1974 till 1978 on the
Koscisia, Kara, korovina,Marinula and Dione.as 4th and 3rd Officer

anybody out there who was like me on top of the KRAKATAU in 1976 with the Koscisia
I too sailed with Mike Harding on this trip really strange job th we picked the limnea in brest . very short manned ship , we were to take it to loch striven near rothsay on the clyde. i was picked to go down on launch to connect fender to the ship so the other ship could come alongside, unfortunately i squshed my thumb in the process .only onboard for a month tried to finish of the huge stock of cases of lager left on board .spent the whole time aboard stripping the limnea of anything of any value and not nailed down into a barge in the loch. think we had double money to do this trip ,would of been rude to turn them down ha ha although the trip was short we had a ball
Doe's anybody remember Gordon Edwin Grinton
Hi everyone,
Was a 5th Engineer on HYDATINA 1971/72.
Went back to a shore based engineering career.
Now aged 76(how time flies !)
Retired in 2002 and still living in South Wales.
No regrets about time spent at sea
would be interested to hear from others around in that period
What about my friend 'Micky Martin' who lived near me in Rumney ,Cardiff ?
I served on Amoria(1) out of Singapore in 1968 and am now trying to build a scale model of the ship from scratch. It is beginning to look ok but I would really appreciate help from anyone with some detailed pictures of the ship so that I am able to make it more authentic.
Any help will be appreciated.
I was on various shell tankers but my favourite one was the Amastra
You have seen the ships on this excellent site Helderline, why not catch up with some of your old Shipmates on Facebook. Our site is Shell Tankers (UK) Ltd. More great pics, lots of great stories and banter. You are assured of a big welcome. We are waiting. Brian

G'day all, I was on SS Hemiplecta 1961 - 1963.
Anyone know where I can find details of the trips around that time?
Many thanks
Bob
A great site listing all the ships. My short career with Shell ran from 1960 to 1964, as an deck apprentice and was a period of time that I look back on with great memories.
I would love to hear from anyone who Joe Shell sent on MAR courses, particularly MAR6, which I was on in 1962. Alan Haynes, Mike Dennis,Steve Little Frank Todd etc.
