discharging coal at a lousy "floating trans-shipper" in Iskenderun in Turkey. No shore leave there! Plus you have to keep adjusting the mooring lines to allow the cranes work all the cargo holds

The Singapore Straits, a bit like the M50, take your eye off the action for a moment and risk a fender bender!

Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

What do sailors do when not on watch?

The Norwegian police love their boats too. This is their most blinged up example, a Fabio Buzzi RIB 42' long and 1200hp, she can do 60 knots very happily.

Another Canadian emergency service, this time the Coast Guard.

The video I took on my phone while working so it's not great (portrait video, never good ), but I thought it was interesting to see it, and hear it, moving (albeit slowly, according to the CCG website its max speed is 50 knots).

A new subset of the offshore industry, the deck-carrier. Built for the transport of large components for the wind energy and offshore industries.
