Almost 6936 hours I stayed on board Motor Tanker Ruby Express. A tanker vessel that delivering Finish product like jet A-1 fuel, high, low and ultra low sulfur around the world. This vessel was registered in PANAMA and the gross is 56,468 GRT. The length over all is 240.50 meters and beam is 42.0 meters.
From good and rough weather the officer and crew (deck and engine dept.) are helping each other and we become one of the sons of our mother ship. Our vessel is our home and she is our shelter in cold, hot weather outside. From Special occasion like Birthday, Christmas and New Year Ruby Express is our companion. We are taking care of our ship and she will take care of us too.
Here are the Officer and crew of Ruby express while I was on board of it. (The finest Mariners and Hot Shot engrs).
