A mighty event at work - UPDATED!

Re: A mighty event at work!

Very sorry doc! :( I thought of calling you and Abhi, but knew you were busy with consultation and the other lame ass would be sleeping/tinkering with his cam.

Hazira being slightly far from the city, you guys may not be in a position to drive down during afternoon.

The mail came in the morn around 9 AM. Last time it was sent 2 days prior to the launching but no personal invitees were being asked to call.

@logistopath:You guys are more than welcome to the yard. In fact, the invitation mail had specifically mentioned to call relatives and friends for the event!

Gannu - I'd be really keen if this is possible. Maybe medpal and some other members from Surat can accompany too and we can have a mini-TE meet on the premises.

Surat's my native place, the place where I went for my vacations during schooling and where my whole family tree is put up :) My folks are staying there and I visit Surat at least 5-6 times a year (maybe more).

^Next year we will have the other ship which is very similar, ready to be launched. I'll keep you guys posted. And ask HR beforehand, if a massive crowd from my end can be entertained. I don't think there should be any problems either.

A hard hat is just the requirement when you step into the yard as a visitor. :)

I love to wear any hat to visit HER.
 
Re: A mighty event at work!

This thread is awesome!!
We need more threads like this in GT. What about the other engineers? Dont you guys have anything similar in your field to show?
Dont tell me everyone is in IT :(

Re: A mighty event at work!

whats a Pneumatic Automation Cylinder? what is it used for?

:ashamed: tried googling but couldn't find anything on this.
 
Re: A mighty event at work!

The type of work I do..the output is lame and 100% non-tangible.

:(

Even I do not like to look at it. he he.
 
Re: A mighty event at work!

I envy you man!You have such a great job!!
I think I have the worst job in this whole forum,the things I get to see everyday are..hundreds of malnourished children living in inhuman condition,in places you see in nightmares.
But at the end of the day..I think I love my job!!
 
Re: A mighty event at work!

Wow!! That looks spectacular. But, whats with the Hot Dog Stand theme :p ? Oh, just saw that you work for L&T, so I guess the Red/Yellow combo is like the theme colors for L&T?

BTW, I work for L&T too, L&T Infotech :). Obviously, my job is way more boring and way less glamorous than yours. :(

Also, you mentioned that the crew for this ship will consist of ONLY 18 people!! I dont know anything about ships but that number seems surprisingly low. I guess, everything on the ship is automated with very little human intervention required?

That is the standard set of colors for their fleet of vessels actually. It has nothing to do with L&T. :p

You can check the rest of their fleet here - BigLift Shipping B.V.

That's right 18 crew members that includes the Captain, Chief engineer, Chief officer, Junior engineers x 5, Chef and the remaining crew.

And you thought that was low! Get this - the largest container ship Emma Maersk spanning 397m in length has just 13 crew. :p

Ships are beautiful structures and shipping industry is an interesting field - we get to learn and understand a lot of good stuff. No rocket science either. :D

I think almost all of us do. More than just work where half of my day is spent, I love being at Surat - good friends and folks around, a very supportive and dedicated boss, Mumbai/Pune is close-by with our TE regulars put up there. All the more a good reason to settle down here. :)

The only thing that scares me is the floods during monsoon season. :fear:
