Location: Mosaic Terminal, Tampa, FL;

Events: Spent the 1^st watch transiting into Tampa Bay and ended it with connecting up to the terminal and beginning the discharge of molten sulfur, I got to run the crane this time which was awesome. The 2^nd watch was quiet, just monitoring the transfer and working on this project.

Things learned about vessel/barge: Crane operations.

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

Supplemental Information: The inspection we were told about didn’t happen, none of us know why, which is fine really as having inspectors crawling around the boat always puts crew under more tension. I also confirmed with the office that in 2 weeks when the Oiler comes back on hitch, I will be transferring to another boat as there won’t be enough berthing on here to keep me. The boat is in Texas City which is close to home but won’t be my permanent boat as that has yet to be determined.

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