Maersk Buton

The business seats of the ''Maersk Buton'' at Felixstowe on 04/07/2009.
Built 2008 by Hanjin, Busan (N-194), 35,835 and 44,000 dwt, 3,400 teu.
With an Indian Master and Engineers, Burmese C/O, Philippino 2/0 and 3/0 plus crew, the ship seemed very well run indeed. All were very efficient and hospitable.
Current port rotation :Felixstowe-Rotterdam-Bremerhaven-Gioia Tauro-Alexandria-Port Said East and back to Felixstowe with mostly fruit and veg reefers.
regards, Rick

(EEK) Just like flying a Boeing... don't reckon the OOW gets to sit down for long as there's too much paperwork these days (*))

Mate on watch would have been shot at dawn for daring to sit down on watch.

Weechief - with you, entirely on that. Doubt that any OOW gets the opportunity to sit for long. Regards, Rick

Peter,
When I was in the Arklow Manor the AB sat in the port seat and the Mate in the starboard. When you are doing six on six off, standing up for your watch gets a bit wearying.
