Yeah, I handle P&I condition, Flag States, On/Off hire, condition/evaluation, demolition voyage surveys and various other kind of inspections & surveys directly or indirectly connected to shipping.

Bottomline, I'm a Master Mariner like Capt Nandu but he is almost two generations my senior.

That's simply great. I have still not hung my seaboots. It's just that I keep doing these assignments with a surveying company when on leave.
Here's a ship going for scrap:




Steering Column


Radar


Global Positioning System (GPS)


Some angle, I must say:

@nandu, that might be a bit dificult considering about 120 degrees of longitudinal seperation ! Am in Campos Basin, Brazil.

The interiors are so neat and tidy that if not for the view of the sea from the windows one would feel this is a pic of some office space.

You also mentioned about the tea/coffee station. Are you not allowed to have it on the deck? Did not quite understand your comment.
