Njord Offshore Ltd.’s Post

🤷No team for today's work, said the teamleader. 🤷♀️Curiously, I asked why? 🤷And the teamleader explained that one client's project has been completed, with all the necessary documents signed. 👉Additionally, two other projects are nearing completion. 👉The team leader informed that an officer from one of our clients called and requested additional work to be done on the vessel for the next two days. 🧏♀️I said, 👉Inform the officer about our readiness to take on all the jobs mentioned, and request that they keep us informed ahead of time so that we can better plan our schedule. 👉Other clients' projects are also reaching completion, and it has become a daily occurrence for officers to add new jobs. 👉We have a well-organized schedule that is based on the jobs given by our clients, and we want to ensure that we can serve them in a hassle-free manner. #shipbuilding #shiprepairs #marine #marineindustry.

DECK vs ENGINE! 🤺🥷 There is a cold war that is going on for generations! (In a light way). People from Deck think that Engineers are just sleeping in the ECR and taking weekends off. 👷🏽⛑ On the other hand, Engineers say that Deck officers have nothing to do except making Coffee and Calling Engine Room for help! 👻☕️ It doesn’t matter which ship we are on, which nationality we are sailing with, this topic always has a majority. Engineers wish their lives were like Deck officers in good air conditioned Bridge and Deck Officers want to have some weekends off and escape the 6on-6off at ports! 🥵😑 In the end, both the departments are extremely important for the Ship to sail properly. It is often said that Deck Officers run the Ship and the Engineers make the ship run! ✅⛴ So bottomline, never get into this argument. ,🤣🤣🤣 MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company Maersk Line, Limited Hapag-Lloyd AG EVERGREEN LINE #seaman #lifeonboard #deckcadet #bigship #seamanlife #marineengineering #marineengineer #sailor #offshore #maerskline #maersk #maerskcrew #shipping #shiplife #merchantmarine #merchantnavy #maritime #ships #lifeofaseafarer #careeratsea #selfie #deepsea #oceanlife #containership

Here is a picture of me when I worked at Hyundai Heavy Industries. Behind me are big ships being built at the docks. They are not vessels in navigation yet. My third article is a vessel in navigation. In the previous article, we learned that a seaman must be a member of a vessel in navigation who works on board at least 30% of his time. What about employees on an offshore oil rig, wind turbine, or floating object? Are they also members of a vessel in navigation? Are they seamen because they are exposed to the special hazards and disadvantages of working at waters? This raises the critical legal issue: What is a vessel in navigation? 1 U.S.C. § 3 says, “the word ‘vessel’ includes every description of watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transportation on water.” The Supreme Court held that a vessel does not need to be in motion at the time of an injury, but a stationary vessel needs to be capable of maritime transportation. Stewart v. Dutra Const. Co., 543 U.S. 481 (2005) However, eight years later, the Supreme Court also held that a houseboat is not a vessel for purposes of a maritime lien because it was not designed for maritime transportation. Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach, 568 U.S. 115 (2013). For example, if you work for an offshore oil company on a drillship, you may be a seaman. However, if you work on a stationary platform not made for purposes of maritime transportation, you may not be a seaman. Therefore, the location of an injury, especially a type of the structure, becomes extremely important because it is a determinant of the seaman status. On a personal note, remember this. A ship is safe in harbor, but that is not ships are built for. Everyone is a sojourner on earth; Life is a journey. Is your life a journey in navigation?

**Behind the Scenes: The Lifeblood of Maritime Operations** 🛠️ Working in ship maintenance is more than just a job—it’s about ensuring that the heart of maritime operations keeps beating strong. Every vessel that sails the seas depends on the meticulous work we do behind the scenes to stay seaworthy and safe. From routine inspections to complex repairs, the challenges are as varied as the ships we work on. It’s a role that demands precision, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of engineering and mechanics. But most importantly, it requires a commitment to safety—both for the crew and the environment. What I find most rewarding is the knowledge that our efforts directly contribute to the success of global trade and the safety of everyone on board. It’s hard work, but it’s also incredibly satisfying to see a ship leave the dock in top shape, ready to face whatever the oceans have in store. Here’s to all the dedicated professionals in ship maintenance—you’re the unsung heroes keeping the maritime world afloat! 🌊🔧 #ShipMaintenance #Maritime #Engineering #SafetyFirst UMA MARINE GROUP #saqrport #rasalkhaima #uae

Turn your 5-yearly LSA in anchorage into success. Ship managers often seek for multiple services during a short anchorage stay. While the job could finish in one day, there are important things for every technical superintendent to think about when planning these tasks: 🔹Davits:  Most importantly, have the davits operated and checked by the crew. Nothing is more annoying than having technicians, load test equipment, etc., all onboard, and the davits are NOT working. 🔹Divers:  If divers are operating in the area, lifeboat launching is PROHIBITED for their safety. 🔹Bunkering or provisions delivery:  To prevent delays schedule vessel bunkering or provision activities BEFORE or AFTER the load test if they might interfere with lifeboat operations. 🔹Communication with Classification Society (CS):  Clear communication with the service company and the Classification Society is vital for load test procedures. Misunderstandings with surveyors can cause TIME WASTAGE during load tests. 🔹Weather: Always take into account weather conditions too and avoid conditions that can endanger the crew and potentially DAMAGE the boat.
