A Work In Progress



Aug 31st: A Work In Progress

Visited a big big boat today. Brilliant it was too. Was down at the A.P. Tyne shipyards in Newcastle to see the Global Producer III re-fit in progress. Down in the dry dock, I got a chance to stick my head in where the oil will get sucked into the boat from where it's released from the trapped sub-surface rock. Fabulous engineering...in total awe of it all. What really blew me away was the sight from the heli-deck of the soldier ants with hard hats on scurrying to and fro...awesome...what happens after this effort is done though? I hope they have many more orders cause these guys are a credit to us all.
