Joined the ship in Rotterdam at the end of its maiden voyage having misplaced the anchor in the English channel? She was an ok ship a few teething problems as I recall, feed pumps losing oil, deck ballast line joints all rupturing when the ballast water slammed into a closed valve, trying to slow the ship up the channel only to find the warming through steam had been left on the hp turbine, soot blower auto warming through valve failing, caused a bit of a panic around the back of the boiler as I recall? But very clean and modern; however slow steaming from Europe to the gulf and back didn't do much for me as an adventure and was the catalyst for me going back on motor ships.

Was on the Lampas in 1979. It was my first trip out of College (Plymouth)
I joined the ship at Ras-Al-Kaimah in the UAE and the first port of call was Kharg Island (you could still go there then)
I left that ship after 6 months in Europort with trips to Nigeria and the Carribean in between.
Hated the "slow steaming" back then to save fuel. It made for a long trip from the Gulf to LEFO (Land's End for Orders) which usually meant a load lightening in Torbay!!!

Fond memories. I can't hardly remember anyone, it's so long ago 33 years - Wow

Although I only spent 5 months in 1992 on the Lampas as a Deck Cadet, fond memories remain. With the aid of hindsight I also class myself as fairly lucky to have completed that one trip! From the time I joined (off Fujairah U.A.E.) with no air con. for the first 2 weeks, to paying off (off Durban S.A.) due to a serious boiler fire, the trip was a litany of problems. Endless pipe repairs (condensation intake fairly worrying) and endless mopping of crude. I believe the Barbadian crew were ready to mutiny but so were us cadets. When not working, our time was generally spent on the x alleyway musterpoint due to another false fire alarm in the (rarely) unmanned engine room or the pump room. Sleep deprivation was affecting sanity and with an Old Man who was a Savage (Vince I believe), tensions were running high.We were all failing the white cotton glove on cabin inspection, and I had numerous visits to the Old Mans office for warnings about my alcohol consumption, but after 5 months on the Eburna I was struggling! It all came to a head when the C/E and the Old Man persisted in using the main boiler despite a faulty 'uptake valve'. After the fire and a metre sq. hole in the boiler void casing (off the coast of Somalia of all places), we set off on the aux. boiler for Rotterdam at about 2 knots. The other Cadets and I payed off in Durban, eventually, to see the bonfire night fireworks from the pilot boat just before midnight. As I said, fond memories remain! I understand she was scrapped 1998, I'm amazed she lasted that long to be honest.......Hope there wasn't anybody stuck in the lift!?
