Location: Gulf of Mexico South of Mobile, AL en route to Tampa, FL and Chevron USA Terminal Pascagoula, MS;

Events: Foul weather beset us the entire 1^st watch and the transfer process didn’t start until well into the back watch so not much was accomplished while we transited into Pascagoula, MS. The 2^nd watch was quiet, just monitoring the transfer and assisting the A/B Tankerman with breaking down the fuel transfer line and equipment from the fuel barge that came along side to fill our boat and barge.

Things learned about vessel/barge: Where the fuel hose and related equipment are stowed.

Classroom information application(s): Cargo Ops transfer procedures.

Supplemental Information: Not too much going on today, the highlight for me was during the night shift when I got the be the rigger for the lead tankerman who was operating the crane, lifting two 50-gallon drums of hydraulic fluid onto the upper housing of the barge pump room.

Rules of the Road Scenarios? Passing and Crossing in a Channel.
