Death On Duty Or Rescued



 

Merci!

A man was rescued after his cargo ship sank in the Sea last Saturday. According to marine accident specialist investigation the man spent 48 hours in the Sea praying and floating with the help of a life jacket. The man was rescued by marine conservation organization Sea Shepherd and the Liberian coastguard off the West African Nation (WAN).


The Niko Ivanka cargo ship has left the Liberian capital Monrovia on July 17th even after it was forbidden to do so due to the failure to meet basic safety requirements.


Later that afternoon, the ship's crew sent a distress signal; the ship had partially sunk by the time help arrived.

They were 19 people on board as per the official records. 11 people were rescued within 36 hours after the distress signal was sent, Liberian Maritime Authority spokesman, Eugene Nagbe said,

"However, the people who were rescued from the waters said that there were 28 people on the ship. This means that 17 people are still unaccounted for.

Liberia's deputy information minister Jarlaywah Tonpose told Reuters that exact number of people on board the Niko Ivanka remains unknown. The vessel was not a passenger-authorised vessel and yet it had passengers on board. So in the coming days, investigation will establish how many people were on board.


Have you ever been in a situation that your life is placed on the line or better still put in a scenario that will change the faith of tens of thousands of people. If so what did you risk?


The is these saying, remember me when I am gone for my life was well spent. 

I, for instance, am leaving in a hold where people expect either:

1. You are the smart one,that all see.

2. You got all the money and fame, all see.

3. You are of importance in a city or world due to your field of work.

This keep me guessing, what the bloody point of proving to people.......?

The Sole Lookout Man

LOOKOUT-MAN CNIC LIMBE Just like the police who are in charge of the safety of their citizen in society against all criminal circumstances that prevail or may prevail. At Sea, we have the Lookout man. He is a member of the bridge team (consisting of; OOW, AB,  boatswain , deck cadet, officers, and the master). With these awesome team, the vessel can navigate safely through the random occuring obstacle at sea.

An attempt to a port with no documents

Most people in this generation think that without the right documents or requirements they can't have access to what they want. Even though they might find something more important than what they are looking for on the way. Regardless, it's true but to an extent that can only be determined by the situation and character of the person at stake. “ Not long ago, I decided to go visit the port of Ghana for an internship program to cover the practical side of my course as a to-be Seafarer. I mailed the port for the recommendations but I wasn't emailed back. So I asked my seniors for advice which they gave me happily. I required just a school note which contained my name, course, level of education, and the signature of the vice-chancellor. I made a copy and deposited it at the post office.     The next day, my elder brother sent me a message to come and collect a package which he deposited at the port for me. On my way to the port, they were so many roads to ...
