Well, you need to put together 720 days of sea time as well in order to be allowed to sit for a USCG license (except 360 days for the OUPV/Six...
Yeah, if the ships officers decide to load it on the bottom, then you get it without the premium. Intermodal containers however typically are not...
There are the issues that K1W1 brings up, HAZMAT and such, but yes, shipping below decks generally brings a premium in price when you request it.
No, that's the way it's designed to work so there is no bluff underwater transom which is high drag. When the boat is running at sea speed, the...
No you don't, a burgee for the boat the logo goes with would fall under "fair use".
Good post. I would like to point out though that there are operators out there who disagree with changing the oil on your schedule, and indeed, at...
