A great vessel, got to manage her during about 10 years, had her under DNV class during suc period and class renewed in 2012 for another 5 years. As FPSO we got some 99.30% uptime, ... Great team, great tanker, great Story offshore Tunisia.

Sailed on the Northia as 5th engineer, completing my motor time. I was day work and working alongside the second. We were busy as hell going from job to job, but the second ( what a grafter) was a cracking bloke and I thoroughly enjoyed my time on her.
Good ship, well maintained ( A credit to the second engineer!!), good grub, good crew -UK coast so UK television -papers when in port, fresh mik etc etc -what more could one ask for!
Think I went to Drupa after Northia!
