Re: Shell Tankers Engineers
Hi William there is a dedicated and very extensive site for Shell called Helderline.com which has the history of the 4 ships that you mentioned(Including the VENASSA) it also has several photos of the ships plus the names of several crew who were on the ships during the the years that you sailed on them just google Helderline and follow the prompts I hope you manage to catch up with some old shipmates. Good Luck John.

Re: Shell Tankers Engineers
Thanks John, I have previously used the Helderline site, and searched the crew list. There was only one possibility on the Hinea list, and I tried to send an email to that person.
Unfortunately it is necessary to 'Register' before an email can be sent. When I tried to register the site would not accept my email address.
Thanks for your suggestion. I will wait for a possible response here.
