Looking at the hatch covers, this ship is either not expecting a helicopter or they are looking for an in-the-hold landing.

Best wishes,

Yeah, thanks Leigh!! :-D :-D

Just dropped the pilot off and on the way to a pickup. The marine pilot inspects the first hatch for loading before he heads up to the bridge, so if the hatch is the same as the "H" one, they open it as soon as I depart.

I've warned all our guys of dangers of the "gets suddenly dark and very noisy" landing. :-o

So the marine pilot inspects the first hatch before going to the bridge. Completely makes sense. He has to know what's in her before he takes on his bridge duties.

When you say "first hatch," do you mean hatch #1?

Ha! The gets-suddenly-dark and very-noisy landing. :-D

Cheers,
Leigh

G'day again Mate,

First hatch for loading, in this case no. 5, generally one of the "middle" hatches. All he does is check that it's clean and dry. I've seen them start pouring cargo as the final lines are still being tensioned, time is money.......

Cheers,
tropic

Understood. Thanks for the excellent information. That explains why some of your photos show vessels with one of the middle hatches open.

Cheers,
