None of that surprises me at all......i once went to stravanger in norway to go on tow with a flotel that had just been in for a marine MOT.....spent the whole trip with about a 15degree list while the leg took on more water than they could pump out .......spent the last 5 yrs on one of the north seas most famous fields......it was old school rig built useing a framed rig ,half of it was so dangerous it was condemned with cracks in the main supports that a diver could put his whole arm in ,about 2 metres long and that was just one there were loads of them .......i think during decommission shell(oops did i say that) are hoping it will disintegrate........never mind its us the tax payers who are paying 50%of the cost of it .....given a choice shell would leave it to look like the nigerian delta....[emoji111]nope not me mate. i can hand on heart say that pretty much the only place i havent touched on that thing is the propellor as it was under water.......
i did however wrench this bad boy out of the manual rudder control unit around about 9U somewhere the week before i got paid off : ) not sure whats happened but the things gonna sink eventually anyway. already sank once in the dock. get serious floods somewhere on the ship at least once a day aswell. im amazed its made it this far. itll never make the sea though. full ships gotta get shelled and rebuilt first. everything on its already 7 years out of date and fucked :smoking:. was always planned for it to be fully shelled and refitted aswell. they dont tell you that in the papers though. made me sign a secrecy act during the induction but only 1 person on here knows who i am so i dont mind sharing lol.
