We Love Shipping

大船的工具通常会在每个航次开始时获得补充，而一些小零件会被安排在Vessel assist时提供，今次的故事是Safmarine Chambal上的“Halide leak detector”因为单价偏低未能采购，遂被安排在盐田港临时补充。（很不幸，大陆海关拒绝了这个要求）而在到达盐田之前，机轮长（Chief Engineer）发了以下的投诉信，控诉为何因为单价偏低而不能采购（类似香蕉要5块钱一斤，苹果要10块钱一斤但最少需要买100块钱），可以看到船员是基于什么立场来投诉采购部的。

原文是TELEX没有粗体之分，以下的粗体字是我编辑的，以后别人问你为何为何要这样做，你可以这样回答。

Good day
I would have to say that the purchasing department for the reefer spares is seriously frustrating our attempts on board to look after the valuable reefer cargoes placed on board Maersk vessels!
When we order spares it is to replace spares that have been consumed; ie to replace the parts used to repair containers carrying the high value reefer cargoes - to ensure that the unit is functioning correctly and that no claims arise that will give our company (MAERSK) a bad name.
These spares are not ordered basis we have nothing better to do so we 'shall just order some, any, random spares - for the sake of it'; no, these spares are ordered because we need them to do our jobs and to thereby uphold the company name.
Whether these ordered parts form part of this allowed kit or that allowed kit should not matter.
The part that has been cancelled on this order is a mere 10 USD, that's right, TEN USD. Surely, for the sake of the bigger picture, this part can be supplied.
I fail to understand how things like this can be allowed to happen. I really don't!

后来和中X集团底下的修箱厂（他们同时是中X和马士基在南沙的冻柜VENDOR）讲了这个故事，对方也深表赞同，马士基的船员是会一直跟着修理工作业，但中X的就阔佬懒理。

在SKAGEN MAERSK上捉到一只猴子，2000年前最大的船，不知道在大船上捉一只活猴要用些什么办法？

Subject: Monkey [Our Ref:699.1151]
Good day,
We need your assistance in a special case.
Just before departure Tanjung Pelepas a monkey was reported to be on board. A local team of specialists was called in to search for and capture the animal. The team did not find any trace of the monkey, and we were led to believe that it had left again.
The vessel departed but after a few days the monkey turned up again. After some brain storming in "how to catch a monkey" a trap was fabricated and as you can see on the picture it worked.
The situation is now that we have a live monkey in a cage that we need to land some where. Keeping it on board is not an option due to local regulations in many places. Your assistance is required in one of the two options below:
1) Contact is made to a zoo, animal shelter, collector or any other person or institution who might have interest in an animal like this.
2) Arrangement with a vetenarian is made to put down the animal properly.
Amongst the crew option no 1 is preferred.

船大概有这么大：



同级的Sine Maersk

最近业界最劲消息莫过于MSC地中海航运首度超越MAERSKLINE马士基航运成为全球最大船公司，于是M记毫不示弱地放出 Triple-E 消息作为反击。

简单来讲，日内瓦地中海航运（MSC）以1,848,440个20尺柜的营运力超越马士基航运（1,827,572个20尺柜）成为全球第一大船公司。

但如果将AP穆勒.马士基旗下的南非海运和MCC Transport计算在内，整个马士基集团作为一个船公司单位计算则仍然要比MSC大9%。

以2月15日为统计日计算，南非海运拥有11艘班轮，总运力达31,632个20尺柜，并租赁45艘船，运力达76,379个20尺柜。新加坡MCC Transport共租赁52艘船，亚洲区总运力达78,070个20尺柜。

结果系马仔即刻放风话已经订做左最新款运力达到18,000个TEU的Triple-E级大船（有D似丰胸产品名称）作为反击，并且系10只！计划于2013年交付使用。

马上访问：Maersk Line Triple-E

今日2011-02-22 CET 13:00 CEO会放出告客户信，提前贴一贴上来。

Dear First Name Last Name ,
I would like to take the opportunity to share with you an exciting piece of news. Maersk Line has just ordered the world’s largest vessel, the Triple-E.
In fact, we have ordered ten — each capable of carrying 18,000 containers — and at a record 400 metres long and 59 metres wide, the Triple-E class will dwarf every other vessel currently on the water and will put Maersk Line at the helm of the world’s largest ships when they start entering service in 2013.
But the Triple-E will not only be the largest, it will also be the most environmentally efficient ship ever to hit the world’s oceans. I believe, it will set a new agenda for economies of scale, energy efficiency and unprecedented environmental performance.
CO2 emissions per container moved will be reduced by an astonishing 50% compared to the industry average on the Asia–Europe trade.
This huge improvement in environmental performance means that Maersk Line’s customers will continue to have access to the most sustainable mode of transportation in the world by far — and that consumers around the world can purchase goods safe in the knowledge that they’re leaving the smallest environmental footprint possible with today’s technology.
At Maersk Line we know that the carbon footprint of transported goods is of ever-increasing concern. With the Triple-E class vessels, we are addressing the expected growth in volume for the Asia–Europe trade over the next five years by offering our customers more capacity but with the lowest possible environmental impact.
The Triple-E class vessels will not only set Maersk Line apart as the leader of container shipping, but will also set the course for a more efficient and sustainable future for the industry.
I invite you to visit www.maersklinecom/triple-e to see the Triple-E and discover the work and innovation behind the its groundbreaking design.
Yours faithfully,
Eivind Kolding
CEO Maersk Line

NYK 2010台历的封面就是这条NYK Super Eco Ship 2030。

来自日本的NYK和芬兰的ELOMATIC联合介绍了NYK 2030年超级生态概念船,该概念船基于NYK cool earth项目的成果,主要从操作和技术两方面降低船舶温室气体排放,操作方面利用了Kuroshio洋流和速度优化,技术方面分为已采取措施,中期解决方案和远期方案,已采取措施有气泡润滑和太阳能,中期方案为2010年使用能量消耗减少30%的集装箱船,远期方案为NYKSES2030船. via - NYK2030超级生态概念船

细个时觉得动画片里有型的飞船都是锥形，头尖尾巴窄，允许尾部喷射器部位最后会收翻少少尾，但整体上都是一个三角形。但从唔记得边部动画片开始，正义朋友部飞船是矩形的，尾部可以停放副机，而头部则可以打开伸出主炮，前端甲板仲可以做弹射跑道（比三角形的飞船科学），哦原来没翼的飞船都可以敢有型的。（参见高达Destiny登场的Minerva，图片1，照顾两种口味的FANS仲可以展开机翼，如图2 ）

再到最近的《2012》，普遍反映方舟的造型令人眼前一亮，船头和船尾造型和NYK Super Eco Ship 2030如出一辙，日本人可能自己都睇高达多比COMIC化左，但如果娱乐界好莱坞和业界（ELOMATIC，MTI，Garroni Progetti s.r.l）都有关于未来船只设计共识，那么人造高达都系可期的。

如果2012唔系世界末日那么你很有可能见到呢种船。 记于2012-12-21前3年。

某日有人发左个笑话过来，内容如下：

A man was sitting in the bar at Felixstowe port. A beautiful woman walks in and sits down at the table next to him. So he decides because she's at the port, she's probably an off-duty shipping Line Customer Service agent.
So he decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the shipping line she works for, thereby impressing her greatly.
He leans across to her and says the APL motto 'Moving Business Forward'.
The woman looks at him blankly. He sits back and thinks up another line.
He leans forward again and delivers the Maersk Line motto 'Creating Opportunities in Global Commerce'.
Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face.
Undeterred, he tries again, this time saying the OOCL motto "We take it personally".
The woman looks at him sternly and says 'What the f*** do you want?'
'Ah!' he says, sitting back with a smile on his face........
'Mediterranean Shipping Company'.

后来发觉网上其实有好多版本，而呢个笑话的模板都可以演绎为列举几间公司和这些公司的远景，然后将需要攻击的公司摆系最后就得。网上最多的系航空公司，参考如下。

• American Airlines
• Ryanair
• South African
• El-Al
