Junior officer engineer

2009-07-01T07:05:00.003+07:00

When I was on shoreside duty in halfmon cay island, bahamas.involved with the conference 1 security officer, said that later there will be additional personnel that will help him. and he also added later in the recruitment will take on the citizenship of the neutral, not from from the current crew, in order to keep in neutrality .

In the period of less than 1 year . many who responded to this position, because the only 2requirements, needed: English; ability to use computers, but in reality after the program was run crew no deck departement to be as promised and in fact turned taken from the neighboring countries.

Now there is a new program that is more Junior deck officer, this program is to increase the dignity of our party to a higher level, especially with the background maritime academy.

fundamental question is:
Whether the officer who is now willing to give this new position to us

Other factors that also affect the quality of maritime education according to them we might still below international standards.
but it does not apply to graduates AIP

Overbudget

2009-06-27T01:42:00.004+07:00

This policy is very popular among deck and engine.
With this policy means the tightening efforts against all aspects of the costs incurred, and clearly this will impact to a reduction in revenue, for the crew this is a loss, other than that this may cause a conflict of interest.

Various efforts undertaken in order overbudget reasons, such as:

1.Decreasing overtime hours.
2.Decrement of time working a non-regular.
3.Diversion of job (which should do at non regular hours.

Issues of this policy is related to the efforts to increase career when it can be done to the office.

This policy is like the 2 different currencies, and certainly there are very clear that the sacrifice of income.
In this case required a supervisor (boastwain / foreman) and a clever negotiating can produce win-win solution.

If this condition can not be changed, it should be made a condition conducive to find another source of income for the subordinates, not only in the environment and the engine deck only, once again supervisor should have more creativity is not just technical skill.

And this also applies to the desires of our sailor / wiper / fireman greaser to search for extra income or dissolved in this policy which ultimately only the walls hear?.

According to my experience in working for this company only a few people who have the desire, and the rest pasrah late.

Partners remember we work here just because money is, to what we are far from family or from people who care about us because if not money?. remember the purpose of your search for money and many of us who have an academic background, career is only be pitied if we are only here.

The knots

2009-06-24T05:52:00.010+07:00

Being a sailor must know at least few things about the ropes and making the knots, this very usefull for everycircumtances we heading into our job, no matter if you still O.S/deck boy. maybe in big ship we seldom meet that situation wich handling so many action in ropes well especially splicing job. i'll show you how to making a knots and splicing eventhough i'm not good at that, but check this out the knots

Between big and small ship

2009-06-14T00:48:00.007+07:00

There's big different working on big ship and small ship, bassicly they do the same job but in small ship more complex, we could say more sweating than big ship:
here's the compare:
Big ship : 6 man for watch keeping duty, for more extra job is more easy, Tender driver, handling all wooden stuff, like stein varnishing the wood, chair, small ship do the same things to as quartermaster job.

Day worker : it's different with Ab/os in big ship, small ship All Ab do on bridge duty and ship's maintaining, off course handling for all the line, winches, as boatman too.

just because the number of crew smaller than big ship, every one here must do 1 man show but in the big ship those job can be separated with many crew on it.
And that's why in small ship we could make more money in the last few years but that is a history, the last time i jointed on windstar i could get at leas 900usd/mounth. this income getting lower every year almost the same price with big ship.

me and boatswain

2009-06-08T17:32:00.008+07:00

i went to his room to give my letter recommendation which i had while i was on previous ship, i knocked his door and he opened it so he let me in and i started to explain everything about my last training on HRO, he listened but i got bit supprised when he said i feel sorry because you're javanesse and moslem...., those words that i could never forget to till now, those comments has nothing to do with my subject, eventhough i know there were 2 sailor as a trainee, 1 . as controler clerk, 2. as ISO clerk. everyone has a right to think abput his career. so what could we have morewhile we're on deck dept, the highest positoon is on boatswain.

This is funniest situation that i've ever had, we live on board but there was something racistm,and in my opinion no racist on board but at i was wrong about that.

I admitted that he had a strong leadership that can control us tightly,but often tends to corrupt and make his team split into two groups, namely a group aligned to the group itself and the opposition.

The last time i heard about him, he allready retired because of his medical.

I am saying will we have the same situation in the future in HAL?

Messroom's Food

2009-06-01T06:44:00.000+07:00

As a human being is very important to meet the needs of himself. And as we know that basically human beings are multi-dimensional. Aspects of animal and ilahilah a pure form kemanusian someone. As a creature that was thought by God, man can eventually control the press and the second aspect, and menumbuh-developed aspect ilahinya. Degrees will be elevated when the human aspect ilahinya more advanced, while the degree scoundrelly akan disandangnya when more animal aspects dominate.

Stomach and keep the needs of the breed of the animal aspects of man. As a man, a lot of instructions that can direct people on the quality better, among hewaninya meet the needs of the full meaning of the rules or use.

Whilom, I focused on the daily life during the event to eat good breakfast, lunch, dinner in one of messroom cruises megahnya Holland America Line. Row in the queue Food Counter many people stand with the various departments in which it is to meet food needs. No more than that, they only want to eat immediately obtain quota. Moment of time some of them as there is a lack of patience to wait for, and seen from the statement, "... eat aja ach use queuing, anjrit,". "Ach ... tired-tired-out of the 'must use queuing all, damn it,".

Few sentences or statements that appeared to many that it participate menimpali with a more negative statement. For the time will get it, go directly to the table to sit with employees dealing with the other.

Cursory attention to me, dealing with the condition of their plates already full of food. Lucunya, there are some people that just hungry eyes, for the plates filled with food while the hush hush for the sake of food dilahapnya stomach was already not able to accommodate, alias already satisfied.

Table Manner style phenomenon employees cruises in messroom is not in accordance with the shadow when I was in training first. Personally I do not blame those who are basically just really want to eat, because somehow, messroom that provide food that is often different from the concept of the office. From the head office seems to have the correct concept of the food that is available to cover the fish, chicken, vegetables, rice and drink good juice, milk, and white water.

Concern very seriously, either when starting, which is clearly a contract every time, food for employees in messroom cruises that nan is magnificent with many dilontari some negative statements from some people, perhaps even a majority.

In this case, there is still only in ganjalan really, that if the rule is to respect the food shall see whether the form of food? Sendiripun sometimes I do not blame them on the food that is in messrom in one of the ships, HAL was not a taste.

And as has become the documentation throughout the period, the existence of the term in messroom as "DAKOCAN" beautiful box of meat, namely beef / veal which forms are required overlap rendang. Menu "snake" that is the length of the fish species of fish the sea, where penyajiannya only way cooked fried, then ditimbun so disebuah one container, no more mention of the term chicken vegetable with chicken ketabrak rail. In addition there are many more, the name of the food, called the term queer.

Touching the menu and life in messroom during Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner akan we encountered many products created from the presence of food disantap with akan akan menyantapnya people. Fruit of the events is a lot of learning, such as:

1. We can still appreciate the food is.

2. We can try to continue fight for right to food in accordance with the taste.

3. Eat or stay, although the heart does not taste.

4. Or we drop the error remain in the cooking or the company or other person.

Appreciate the form of food is basically, very varied, and I am sure each of those who never eat messroom in the style of Holland America Line has been able to place itself, and how well.

Personally I have interested to motivate myself, that when I get food from messroom hopefully I can enjoy with the hopes senikmatnya hush hush for a successful swallow me blessed by God.(Source.dammaster)

Muster List

2009-05-11T23:46:00.009+07:00

In passenger ships it is the duty of certain crew members, specified on the muster list, to ensure that all the passengers have correctly donned their life jackets. the ship's emergency alerting equipment including EPIRBs and SARTs. regular maintenance of the equipment is an important part of the life saving regime. Illumination in launching areas.

On-load and off-load lifeboat releasing systems and their safety implications. the importance of the safety briefing, or familiarisation tour, for relief crew. Where to find and how to operate the line throwing apparatus. Helicopter operations including planning the operation. Helicopter rescue gear including strop, sling stretcher and hiline. Seafarers should take every opportunity to participate positively in all training courses and onboard drills or exercise.

On muster list, you can find where you have to report for the various emergencies(alarms)

and which task are assigned to various crew members.
Onboard of this ship(dam ships) there 2 different alarms:

Fire alarm

This is at least 3times short-long on the ship's whistle, accomapanied by the same signal ion the electrical alarms throughout the ships.

During a fire there are a lot of different task assigned to various crew members. some are assigned to fire squads, other to the rescue squad etc. most of us.

however just have to continue with whatever it was that you were doing, unless other instructions are given to you over the P.A system.

Abandon ship alarm

This last 7short blasts followed by 1 long blast on the ship's whistle,accompanied by the same signal on the electrical alarms throughout the ship.

Whenever hear this signal, go immediately to our cabin, put on appropriate clothing and proceed to your lifeboat or life raft station, here all crew and pax will be checked off by your commander and you wiil receive further instruction...(my opinion:this procedure may takes a lot of times, it will work during drill but not in actual incidents itself..recommended to prepare of spare warm clothes. in the ammount sufficients at least the same ammount with spare live vest and place its arround embarkation deck)

Throughout the ship, next to the muster list, you will also find safety plans. on these safety plans we see a drawing of each deck of the ship, indicating where all the safety and life saving equipmen is located on each of those decks(like fire hoses,fire extinguishers,live bouys etc>)...(various sources)
