No. 9, although there's never much to look at, and i can never think of any interesting things to post!! Not sure what the " merchant navy " is now as all the companies i worked for have gone or been taken over ( nothing to do with me i'm sure) , so i guess its any vessel trading, large or not so large ??

I would be no 11, if I still count. I was 6.5 years with BP Tankers from 1969 to 1975, then transferred to BP exploration in the North Sea, as did quite a few others.

and I'm #12 - any ex-Ellerman people on this forum, I was with them from 1965 to 1985, then went to Gateway Shipping (Safmarine in disguise) for 2 years.

[philip_stevens]

Is it 12.5, 12B or 14 minus1?

I also served as an electrical officer with P&O (CFL/OCL/P&OCL/P&O-Nedlloyd) and Maersk, on steam and motor containerships for 25 years. Now retired (early) through a shoulder injury.

I suppose that makes me 14th. Although I am still at sea. 2nd mate. In the North Sea now, but was one of the last Souter Shipping (Newcastle) cadets before they went over to OSG and we all got the sack for not speaking Croatian and wanting a fair wage...

[philip_stevens]

When I (lecky) was made redundant from P&O-Nedlloyd a few years ago, along with the frosties and RO's, they were in the transition from British crew to Filipino and Indonesian. The HK Chinese had to be finished when the British handed over HK.

I then went with Maersk IoM for a trip, and there were a real mix of crew on that ship - even Thai cleaners.
