Hemiplecta was my first trip as a very green 'shoreside' 5th Engineeer. Didnt help that I was the only 'fiver' on the ship. First few weeks passed in a heat filled haze (I joined in Singapore) but once I got the hang of things then started to settle down. Despite the hurdles placed in my path by some senior officers my time on the 'Plecta was a happy one and the start of a 10 year career with Shell. Many happy memories of trips ashore and also kindness and tolerance shown by experienced crew members (both deck,catering and engine room) |
