"NAVIGATING AND ENGINEERING OFFICERS REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY FOR VERY
LARGE CRUDE OIL CARRIER. TANKER EXPERIENCE PREFERRED." - Lloyd's
List and Shipping Gazette The advertisement captured Ray Solly's
attention whilst he was on leave and demanded direct action! Viewed
from the bridge of dry-cargo ships, the sleek lines of VLCCs and
their potential navigational challenges always intrigued Ray - so,
without hesitation, he grabbed the chance, leaving his current
employer, and setting out to fulfil a dream. Supertanker examines
life at sea aboard a 1970s monster where reader and author meet on
board, encountering and overcoming exciting new challenges in
navigation, ship handling, and cargo control. All the while,
overshadowing everything else, is the awareness that this loaded
ship carries around 80 million gallons of oil every day. But
Supertanker is more than just the record of a new adventure. It
lifts the lid on the realities of life far out at sea handling such
behemoths and reveals why international safety and competency bars
had to be raised.
