Been on a working ship before. Stairs narrow and slippery. Engine room noisy and narrow and very slippery. I don't think it's going to be a picnic in any storm. Anyway if you have Astro there are documentaries about the people who work on the ships (crab fishermen etc.) Very interesting.

Is it a big ship that you went to?


It was one of those at Port Klang.

since i've seen some picture from my senior who went onboard VLCC(very large crude carrier). the engine room is very huge. the main engine itself is 4-storey high.


Yes I remember that.. there's a sort of pathway (it's narrow and oily and very slippery) so you can walk around it and look at all the machinery smile.gif
