Cleaning of coal inside cargo hold! Difficult but we always end up cleaning all the cargo holds and passing the inspection!

Image
Cleaning ships cargo holds is difficult! Especially when you are loaded first with dirty cargoes and then you will shift to loding of clean cargoes like rice, fertilizer and grains. Usually it takes us, 3 to 4 days to clean all the holds but sometimes we are rushing it and finishing it for 2 days. At that state, we are already exhausted and we lack sleep and rest but for additional pay, we still finish it. By the way our ship has 5 cargo holds. 5 holds are very hard to clean,how about 7 and 9 holds? By just thinking, it already makes me tired. Thanks for reading guys. Sorry for not being fluent in english. Just comment below if you have some questions.

Renew Passport for seaman! Fastest way!

Image
It was my first time yo renew m passport and I found out that renewing your passport in DFA ASEANA is the fastest way to renew it especially if you are an OFW (land based or sea based). In renewing my passport, I just bring my bagpack and my old passport and my seaman's book. I just photocopied it inside the DFA and follow the steps. No more folder or envelope needed. Just your old passport, seaman's book and the photocopied entries in your passport and seamans book. It only takes me less than 30 minutes to renew my passport! So I recommend that you should renew your passport in DFA ASEANA. Thanks for reading 😊 If you have any questions. Just comment below 😊
