Wrong ship. I was Master on a pair of sister ships, Sarnia Cherie and Sarnia Liberty. They visit the Mersey quite often, up the Ship Canal to load at Stanlow.

The fire on the tanker is out and someone has got on board and started a generator. The fire pumps are running and the radar arials are turning. you can see exhaust coming from the funnel.

The main fires on the Solong have been extinguished with a few containers smouldering. She is now under tow.

Sounds like an accurate summation of Moyes’ first couple of months back in charge.

Should have got one of our strikers on the wheel. Would have missed a target that size.

You know this lot then?

I understand that the tanker was carrying jet fuel which is essentially kerosene and is non-persistent, although toxic to wildlife (a bit like wind turbines!)

You would be amazed at the amount of crude oil that enters the oceans naturally from cracks in the sea floor.

Ok but at least jet fuel doesn’t burn steel beams… or such and such I’ve learned on YouTube

Nice ships, but they're dry cargo. I sailed on tankers.
