09JUN2018

Location: Mosaic Terminal, Tampa, FL and departing for St. James, LA;

Events: Towards the end of the 1st watch the pump repairmen showed up and began the process of taking the old, broken pump shaft out and installing the new one. Everyone says they have never seen a shaft break in that way before, so the cause is still unknown. The 2nd watch was spent completing the discharge, disconnecting from the terminal, and getting flipped around by a harbor tug so we could head back out to sea. The lead tankerman again let me have a longer reign to complete the transfer operations.

Things learned about vessel/barge: Continued transfer operations.

Classroom information application(s): Cargo Ops 1 loading and discharging of product

Supplemental Information: The repairs went very smoothly which was a blessed relief considering the unusual nature of the break. Tomorrow is back the needlegunning that forward wench which I want to have finished before I get off this boat in the next few days.

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