My last ship in Shell, signed off in Teesport May 1996. This was as the 'merger' was dragging on, I was frustrated by the fact there was no clear indication from the IoM when my promotion was due. Within 4 days I found an employer who could. No ill feelings from either side, it was just time to move on.
