Yeah, I guess if you are going to murder someone for having the temerity to be be born into the wrong family you might as well be polite about it....
That might change the game from the current fiction of a "guest" on a charter yacht to that of a small passenger vessel owned by a company that...
Very lotus like, grasshopper.
If a scapegoat was named, that would open the "investigators" to questions about the content, quality, and process of the so called...
If we are to use the commonly accepted definitions of competence and seaworthiness, it is a fact that an incompetent crew left port and, over an...
When the zombies are massing at the back door, the knowledgable engineer goes in and out the front door.
Maybe it was the missing logbook that kept the boat afloat for so long!
What is an "inline polisher?" You can't really have too much water. If there is a whole bunch, clean fuel floats on top and is easily removed...
Clean-exhaust, meet the EPA and the USCG ... I suggest a quick glance at 40CFR110.4 to start. Maybe this would work in Nigeria but using...
I wonder if you just got a length of oil spill boom and tied it to form a breakwater around the bow. They make small stuff that is easy to stow...
While I most certainly do not believe there was any intent on the part of the crew to sink the boat and can't for a moment imagine they would...
So who is holding the lens? The reason you can't "see it" is because you are looking through an entirely different lens. I don't have the time...
Unless you have had training and experience as an officer onboard a large, professionally operated vessel in ocean service it is unlikely that you...
Au contraire ... I think we have learned a very good lesson here. It has nothing to do with vessel engineering or safety but it sure does teach us...
What is this "instability" thing? The boat was upright until it sank. It didn't capsize, it withstood several flooded compartments for hours while...
The full report within a year ... but the applicable annexes within 6 months. BEAmer submitted nothing, or did it initially but then very quickly...
http://www.imo.org/blast/blastDataHelper.asp?data_id=13056&filename=1.pdf What is really interesting is that the IMO accident database had an...
Not as simple as tucking a log book into the front of a gumby suit. Even if Yogi had a VDR, it probably would have been "lost" or failed for some...
I think you are being exceptionally gracious. My first choice of a descriptive term can't be published here. That "report" is a sick joke. It...
Not quite right. The bow thruster consumes a great deal of power. A very good way to deliver that power to the thruster is by hydraulic power...
