New shift times:
Canaipa – 05:40, 06:30, 07:00, 07:30, 08:00, 15:15, 16:10
(Start 04:20, Break 10:00 – 14:00, Finish 19:20)
The process at the end of the CANA shift has not changed, however this new timetable allows CANA to return to the marina after completion of the 1610 run from CP3 (unless requested to remain on site for adhocs or coverage). This will provide time for any bunkering, vessel clean/maintenance etc. required. If you have queries on this, please don't hesitate to call operations to discuss.

We used the degreaser that comes in the cans to scrub the aft deck and the odour that comes after use ,,,stings, your eyes, burns your nostrils, sticks to your skin and makes the boat smell terrible for days throughout,,,,, hence I have ordered a 5 Lt drum of superclene degreaser,, which has been used by many others across the fleet for years, with great success ,,,,,, just make sure you use the superclene degreaser diluted as per instructions on bottle as it has the potential to bleach surfaces such as red Scania engines and cream deck paint if applied willy nilly
