[Brian Probetts (Site Admin)]

That sure is an impressive list...

[Chris Allman]

WOW - well done Robin what an achievement. The Offshore Supply / Tug / Anchor Handling must have been interesting. Do you have any experiences to share with us.

[Trevor Bodiam]

Truly a lifetime at sea. What a list of ships!!!!!!
You certainly saw many changes in the sea-going lifestyle.

#1... out of all the ships there Robin the only names that catch my eye is the Nordic Trader , is it any relation to the Nordic Explorer, also the Spanish Wasa , I was on the Finnish Wasa And was part of a Swedish group but managed from a uk outfit, would have to look up book to see, they also managed the likes of other named ships as well. Cheers JWS

[j.sabourn]

Ref. Finnish Wasa..... Whitco Marine.. part of the Salem group also tied in with Cathay Pacific. JS.
