Hi Shane,
Hope you had a good offswing - boy have we been busy...
1. All the usuals done over the past three days. Any issues give me ahoy.
2. Audits, audits, audits... yep three of them. Plenty of work was done for preparation for these (on Torresian and Canaipa) and then we're still working on some items that require attention. This leads me too...
3. Flagged emails - extra runs on weekends now, 1700 Sat and Sun GL4-GL2. A few others there to look at.
4. Lost Property - seems to be more and more stuff being left onboard. I have been mentioning it on my safety briefing as approaching berth to remind people to ensure they have all their belongings.
5. No washes. Works (crane ops) behind RG Tanna (Western end of tug base), Diva 8 at WICET MOF and Oxley at Barney Point. Keep an ear out on 13/15.
6. Stores / engineering supplies. Sufficient of everything we usually use on board. If you use any engine oil you might need to put in an ESR before the end of the swing to get a top up. There are 4 x 5l bottles of Disinfectant and 4 x mop and scrubs in roof...
7. Engineering - All is well except an oil leak on the bucket ram port side. Shaun aware, MRF submitted. Shaun assures me it wont "let go" all of a sudden and he is onto it - oil level not dropping noticably. Stbd side coolant seemed a lot higher than when I swung off as I took quite a bit out to stop it from overboiling into the bilge. May be a drop or two in there from arvo runs but I got down there with a rag to dry it out today (14/2). Genset coolant overflow tank at "add" level when cold but plenty under pressure cap and Shaun says all good. Gearbox leaks all fixed but still monitoring just in case.
8. Replaced burst fender at stern of vessel berth in marina and put on new cover. Some mooring lines are getting a little worn - if you get time this swing it may be worth looking at splicing up some new ones or else we will make up some new ones next swing - particularly aft s[ring in marina and forward spring B Berth GL2.
That's all that comes to mind at the moment bud - I'll try and give you a call before I swing out.
Safe and happy swing bud. I reckon I'll be in bed by 8pm tonight!
Regards,
Tony (& Ryan).
