Had a brilliant trip on this ship trading far east, woke up to do 12-4 in singapore to be told we was all being replaced by cheap foriegn labour taking our jobs! Three weeks later over a hundred men made redundant. Thank you filopino seaman! |

This was my last trip with Shell before leaving to work for The Sultan of Oman. My time with Shell certainly gave me a good grounding for that and later appointments. Happy memories, well mostly! |
