Ship hopping, DSV

Currently on board another vessel, it's a DSV (Diving Support Vessel), "EMERALD SEA", an Ulstien 756, DP2 vessel.

This is the vessel that caused my delay flight back to SGP. Because of some poor planning, we have to shift away from our current position and make way for them to do their work. I presume at the coz to them. lol.

Also because of that i have to hop over to survey their work so that my client's chains are undisturbed in the seabed.

It was mid-day yesterday while i was having my lunch, my client told me this and i have to packed my bag n be here a day or two to do this job. It was is such a rush that i have to rush down my food and pack up to go. Only to reach this vessel and found out that there have not been any firm grounds onwat they are gonna do n hence we were send back... It was right before dinner that my client popped by my office and told me, i am activated again... WTF... Thats y i am back here one this vessel.

There is quite a bit of communication breakdown offshore that the insturction that we recieved from this vessel is not the same as the ones recieved from my client. Hence, there were the dilly dally herer n there and end up we completed the job at 5am this morning.

Now i dun know whether i have to stay here longer or not... I do not have a full set of sleeping gears and i am walking around with my socks, coz i nvr excepted it to be so long...

On the other side, the ship is better build over here. The accomodation block was newly erected, hence most of the stuffs, like bed n table and such, are newer. the food is also great! The mess is more elaborated and with more "ang mo" stuffs. Maybe coz there are lotsa "ang mos" on board. Food wised i can only comment about last night supper that i had, which is... great! Selfservice style, means u get wat u wan. There was breaded chicken breast, stew beef and PIG TROTTERS!!! Wah... its almost like local stuffs, only that they already took away the bones and there is only meat n fats. lol Nice stuff, maybe i will check if the lunch is as good. :P

So far for now, i most prob will stay here for at least another meal.

Cheers!
