Singapore anchorage 26 June 2019 - Picture by Aladdin
From https://www.marinetraffic.com
Wednesday 26 th of June 2019 and the car was here at 5 o´clock. We left 10 minutes past 5 o´clock in the morning and Sukhumvit was almost empty. We were hauling arse and I was in to immigration at 6 o´clock and it took 30 minutes to get through the immigration.
Only 4 desk was open and luckily enough, only one desk was using the fingerprint scanner. I avoided that queue as it looked to be problem with this scanner. Maybe the reason for not using the scanners at the other desks.
Taxi is here to pick me up
Asoke / Sukhumvit Intersection
I had some time to kill
I had a few soda waters in the lounge before I went to Gate C4 and Thai Airways flight TG 403 to Singapore. We were flying in an Airbus 350 and I cannot remember even heard of a 350 before. A new model? I don´t know, but there was plenty space in the seat.
It was a comfy flight and I was sleeping all the way to Singapore. Immigration was a few seconds and my bag was one of the first on the belt. The Driver met me outside the custom and we were soon on our way for lunch. I will have lunch at a hotel and our 4th Engineer is waiting there.
It was a comfy seat
Tea in Singapore
Rita Maersk is in Singapore to have a Surveyor on board to take sample on the gas oil they have been using for flushing the tanks. Yes, remember last time I was on board, the cargo was off spec. PTT had manage to find someone to receive the cargo and they had discharged the off spec cargo at Nipa. STS to m/t Kingfisher.
They will take FW and bunker at the eastern anchorage and we will take a launch from South Marina Pier to join the ship.
We can see Rita from South Marina

I was on board just after 2 o´clock in the afternoon. We will leave when was have received our bunker and we will go back to Eastern OPL to drop anchor. Next loading date is scheduled for 2 of July and we have to do 2 hot water tank cleaning on the anchorage and we are leaving for Bongkot, บงกด to load 180,000 Bbls of condensate on the 30th of June.
+++++++++++++++
Saturday 29 th
of June 2019
and I get a message from the manager at my condo. There had been a fire in my condo. She send pictures and it looks like it is my new computer screen. BRAND NEW! Bought it on the 25th of June and on the 29th the screen is burning.
My new computer screen had burnt to garbage

The sprinkler at released and extinguished the fire. My condo have wood floor and the floor was filled with water and I´m worried about the wood. The staff at the condo managed to clear the water and I called Maid Delivery and they will send maids on Monday to help clear out the condo.
Two of my friends went to check the condo on Sunday and they will have a look. And Maid Delivery will send Maids and they will start with 3 days. I have told them to clear the room where the fire had started.
The will also take out my curtains and bed sheets and dry clean it. My friend and the condo manager had taken care of my oriental carpets and they will clean them in the shop not far away from the condo. I don´t care much about the carpets, only 2 Persian Kiman carpets that I really don´t want to lose. Good if they can save the Pakistani carpets, but the 2 Persian are the important. But I will see if they have been successful when they are ready with the carpet
20,000 Baht to clean the carpets
My friend come to have a look
+++++++++++++++
Tuesday 2 nd
of July 2019
and we take the pilot at Bongkot 6 o´clock in the morning. We start to load 4,000 Bbls that we will use for tank cleaning. Cleaning during the afternoon and we start loading at 20:45 and we expect to be ready tomorrow afternoon.Maid Delivery have removed everything for dry cleaning and my carpets was in the carpet shop. The wood floor looks OK, but I´m more worried about water under the floor. There had been a representative from the insurance company.
Maid Delivery is making progress
Only thing remaining to do, remove the furniture
We drop anchor at Map Ta Put in the late afternoon on the 4th of July and they will come on board to take samples to make an analyse of the cargo before going alongside to discharge. 4 months anchored with off spec cargo and they just managed to get rid of it. They had just managed to get rid of the cargo in Indonesia and I joined in Singapore.
5 months since we were loading in Bongkot and they were very happy to have us back. There had been a lot of problems with the ships they had chartered while we were anchored.
Our, as our Agent calls him “Time Keeper” will be back again after 5 months off the ship. And he really can´t wait to come back on board after 5 months of the ship. He have “bombarded” me with line messages since I joined the ship.
But now he is coming and he is waiting for us at the service boat station. He have bought a tea cup for me and I can´t wait to try it out.
I had sent an sample picture
He is sending me a picture from the shop

I sent him a message that we had one hour to go to the anchorage and he was waiting together with 3 Surveyors. They boarded the boat when we approached the anchorage and I got a few bonus pictures on Line. MAX is on the way.

Our “Time Keeper” was on the way approaching us with the Surveyors. Suddenly I got a distress
message on Line. They had been, well, almost at our shipside when they had lost the propeller.
They came to a full stop and they were drifting back towards shore again and our “Time Keeper” sent me pictures of Rita Mærsk disappearing in the horizon.
I ran out to have a look expecting to see them screaming swimming around in the rough sea. But our “Time Keeper” called Mama Boat Service and they sent another boat to come for assistance so we can get our “Time Keeper” and surveyors on board.

A little drama during the late afternoon but they made it on board and our “Time Keeper” was very happy to be back on board after 4 months ashore. He had brought MAX for me and I opened a bottle first thing.
Pilot booked for 08:00 tomorrow morning if the samples pass the test. The Surveyors was ready with the sampling 21:30 and I went back to my room to try to get some sleep.
Our “Time Keeper” bring MAX

Monday 8 th
of July 2019
and I have a chance to go home to have a look at the condo. The service boat was on the anchorage at 7 o´clock in the morning and the car will for me when I arrive to the jetty in Map Ta Put. We left Rita a few minutes after 7 and we expect it to take about 45 minutes to reach Map Ta Put.
Leaving Rita early in the morning
Captain on the wheel
Leaving Rita Maersk behind
Next stop Map Ta Put, at least I thought so
We stopped at a Thai tanker to pick up 4 of their crew members before we continued to the jetty in Map Ta Put. Arriving to Map Ta Put and the driver came to greet me. I asked him to stop at the mini mart up the road from the jetty. I filled up the back seat with MAX and we were soon on our way. ETA to my condo 11 o´clock and I will also have lunch with my friend.
I need to buy some stuff at HomePro and some other things to bring back on board. Too early to do some shopping in Rayong and I will have to do it in Bangkok. Empty high ways and we were hauling arse towards Bangkok.
Full speed towards Bangkok
Reaching Bangkok and the traffic come to full stop
Reaching Bangkok and the traffic come to full stop
I was home around 11 o´clock and I spent about two hours in my condo before going back to Map Ta Put. I had brought my camera equipment so I can keep an eye on the equipment and I hope they can start work in the condo while I am on board.
We removed the desk and shelfs and it ended up in the garbage. I was in contact with a company that AXA Insurance had recommended on the way back to Map Ta Put and they will come to have a look. Very little damage from the fire, nothing, just fresh paint, but the water! The floor looked very nice but I could hear that there was water under the wood.
So we will have to remove all the wood, about 150m2 of 25mm thick teak wood. They are working with a floor company and to put new wood is 4 weeks and to put something they call engineered wood will take 7 days. But the wood floor was the pride of my condo so I will most likely go back to wood.
I have cancelled my safari and bird watching tour to Tanzania and Ethiopia in September / October. I still hope I will be able to go, but I will have to see how it turns out in my condo. But it will safe me 15000 US Dollar to skip my adventure in Africa.
So maybe go for the Engineered Wood and finish in 7 days and take off to Africa. The Engineered wood looks good on picture, off course it does, and it is 3mm real wood on top of some other wood board. I got an information catalogue from Double Floor and you can study the catalogue HERE .
Japanese food in Rayong
The boat is waiting for me in Rayong
Back in Rayong and I went for Japanese dinner with my driver. I had been there before and the food is good. I was back on board around 6 o´clock in the evening and I had brought my camera equipment so they can start to work in the condo any time.
I ordered whiskey and chocolate from TOPS online and I sent it to the office at my condo. The staff had really been doing a good job and without them it would have ended with a disaster.
Our Time Keeper had brought Mango from Bangkok and I had kept them in my room for about 10 days before they were ripe. They were huge so it took a very long time for them to turn yellow, well, these mangoes turned more orange then yellow.
I was full of anticipation when we tested them outside my room. I usually eat my mangoes on deck outside my room while enjoying the view.
Mango time

I got a video from the condo office via line, a video from my condo when they fire had been extinguished with the sprinkler. It was not so nice to watch the video. The amount of water the sprinkler had delivered, I was really happy that the fire had started during the day time.
Imagine if it had started at 2 o´clock in the morning. BOOM! We would have filled my condo and the condo below me with water.
Our cargo samples had failed and no news when we will discharge. But we were lucky and they decided to bring us alongside and our Time Keeper came back on board. He have been home for 5 months when we were anchored with the off spec cargo. He came on board when we arrived to Map Ta Put and when the cargo failed the lab test he went home again.
Now he is on board and he is joining us on the “Good morning PEP” gymnastics in the CCR.
My friend sent me a video of Rita Maersk and I asked why he had not come on board to say hello. He told me that it was his friend, working as a Agent that took the video when going to another ship on the anchorage.
We started to play lotto, Loading Master, Captain and our Time Keeper and I. I sent in a few numbers on lime and we have to pay 84 Baht each per week and we are playing for 10 weeks. We won about 270 Baht first week, around 70 Baht each and I was not so very happy.
I decided that we need more luck and our Time Keeper is an expert in Thai magic. Our Loading Master is also in to Thai magic so we really have high hopes to win big this time.
Tea time
Loading Master in Map Ta Put
Our Time Keeper is very worried about out lottery. He don´t know how he will get his lottery money from Sweden to Thailand. He say that it can be trouble to send 10 million from Sweden to Thailand. And he is on about it every day asking me how we can send the money to Thailand. I told him that he could travel to Sweden and bring back the money in cash.
And it didn´t become any better when I decided to buy some “good luck magic” Now he was convinced that we would win BILLIONS of Baht. And this will be a huge problem for him. Our Loading Master told him that he could use his account, no problem.

We always have a lot of Little Terns looking for fish in our wake arriving and departing from Map Ta Put. And as I have been home to get my camera equipment I tried my luck when we left Map Ta Put. Very hard to get them on picture as they are very small and quick.

Mama Boat Service had brought Mango, Bananas and MAX for me when we were anchored and when I had finished my old stock I ripped open one of the cases. I discovered that it was MAX raspberry and I was not happy.
I gave one of the cases to our Pump Man and I asked our Time Keeper to take a picture and send to “MAMA” so we´re not running in to the same unpleasantly in the future.
MAX Raspberry
Then we realised that “MAMA” would not take it seriously if it was all smiles on the picture and we took a proper picture showing how upset and angry we were. Add plenty of disappointment on that and we will for sure only get the real thing in the future.
Not happy
Our Time Keeper want to introduce a new exercise to our “Good morning PEP” gymnastics. And according to him it is something unbelievably good. Asian mysticism at its best and why not? If it
can help us win the lottery I´m ready to try anything.I got some instructions and we will see if we can introduce the exercise in tomorrow’s “Good morning PEP” gymnastics in the CCR. We have done it before but no one had taking it really serious, but tomorrow? After the instructions, maybe time to get serious?
Instructions
Anyway, success at the “Good morning PEP” gymnastics or not, I have a stupid video that I can spread via Line. And who knows? Maybe this is something you can start with, 30 times and you will
be 100 years old. But who wants to be 100 years old? “Good morning PEP”
gymnastics
And what a success the new “move” turned out to be. We tried it first thing coming to the CCR in the morning. And our Time Keeper made a video that we can spread via Line.
We got the pilot at arrival and the Surveyors boarded us as soon as we were alongside TTT 2B jetty in Map Ta Put. They need to take sample and send the cargo for analysis before we can start discharging. Cargo failed the test and we left the jetty at 23:00 to go drop the anchor at the anchorage to await further instructions.
MAMA sent coconuts and MAX with her boat. A very good service and I had 50 coconuts in the CCR that we will enjoy after our “Good morning PEP” gymnastics.
Coconuts

Coconuts
I was lucky, I got my MAX and coconuts before the bad weather hit us and the Surveyors had some trouble coming on board when they arrived with the tug boat to take more samples. I started to transfer the cargo to make room for 40.000 Bbls that we will go to load at FSO2 Pathumabaha at Greater Bongkot South Gas and Condensate Field.
We will be very full after having loaded the additional 40.000 Bbls so I really hope we can discharge the cargo when we come back to Map Ta Put.
Time for coconuts
Time for coconuts
Arriving to Bongkot
Arriving to Bongkot just after 1 o´clock and we left at 23:00 and we steamed back to Map Ta Put.
I got sick during our stay in Bongkot and our Time Keeper turned in to a Nurse and served me some hot lime drink with some secrets ingredients.Tasted horrible and I don´t know if it helped. But I appreciated the effort.
In the kitchen to find limes
Bringing the remedy
Well, not tasting any good
Seems like there is an on-going problem with the cargo quality and we had to skip one loading after voyage 942 as we could not discharge the condensate at arrival Map Ta Put due to high arsenic content. We dropped anchor for a few days before they had negotiated the price of the cargo.
And as we had missed the loading we dropped anchor after discharging and we could start chipping and painting in ballast tank 3 port.
Our Time Keeper left and he went home for a few days, he will be back on the 21 August and we will leave on the 22 early morning. We will be in Bongkot 06:00 on the 23rd. He had missed us and he was very happy to come back on board. And he brought all my parcels with stuff I had bought on line, snus and some “e” stuff
New Dorco razors as I have given up on Gillette after their stupid commercial. The Dorco razor turned out to be much better and cheaper than Gillette. Good quality and a good feel to the handle. I also got snus and a parcel from Heavens Gift in Singapore.
Parcels for me at the Agent office
New magic
New magic
He also brought back a souvenir, a new magic with Shiva and Ganesha so if I don´t win the lottery now I don´t know what it takes. Our Time Keeper spent the evening in my room showing the “crazy” exercise and I got a new instruction video.

Thursday 29 th
of August 2019
and Double Floor started to remove my floor. They will remove the floor and then it will dry for 10 days or so. They will remove the plywood and replace it with the termite SMART BOARD. The handy man had taken a few pictures that the Condo Manager went to me via Line.

Replacing the floor will set me back by 827,000 Baht and then I will have to see how much the insurance company will refund. Took them almost a week to remove the floor and they will start to install the SMART BOARD on the 16th of September and by then I will be home.

Loading at Bongkot and we leave on Friday 6th of september. Saturday and it will be my last Saturday on board and I made some spaghetti sauce “Skåne Style” for lunch. All paper work ready
for arrival to Map Ta Put in the evening was ready so I had time to do some cooking.Starting by chopping onions and our Cook had made minced meat yesterday so this was ready. Our Time Keeper disturbed me by coming to take pictures every now and then.
Time for lunch
Time for lunch
My reliever came on board just after 2 o´clock in the morning of the 12th of september. He came with one of the pilot boats when we were going in for discharging at Map Ta Put. No allowed to go ashore at the TTT jetty. Before it was OK to go ashore.
But some years ago and a ship had have crew ashore. The crew had complained about bad smell on the jetty and after that they are not allowed to come ashore. So my reliever had to come by boat and I will sign off at the anchorage after discharging.
I will be back at the dry dock in Singapore and we expect to be there in the beginning of October. So I have time to attend a Maersk Tanker Seminar in Copenhagen between 30 Sep to 2 Oct.
Our Time Keeper not happy when I go home
Down in the service boat
Our luggage coming down
Leaving Rita behind
Best picture
We left Rita just before dinner so I was quite hungry when we stepped ashore. And we had to wait for the driver, as usual. I went to pay for my Pepsi MAX. And our Time Keeper on board had sent kisses to “MAMA” running the shop and boat service. We had expected to use her boat service but no anchoring.
So I will pay for the drinks today and she will send the drinks next time she pass Rita on the anchorage. We had to wait for almost an hour for the driver to come pick us up, well, the service
have nothing but deteriorated since they changed Agent. The previous Agent was always keeping TOP NOTCH service.Anyway, we left Map Ta Put and we asked the driver to stop at a Burger King place and we learned that it was some 35km from the pier. We were hauling arse towards Bangkok and I was very hungry by the time we reached Burger King
I threw myself out of the car as soon as we had parked. I busted through the doors and I asked for a strawberry shake “HUGE SIZE” first thing. Then I ordered two of the biggest looking burgers on the menu. No fries or soda.
Reaching Burger King
The shake was good
My burgers are ready
I took my shake and we went to a table to wait for our food. The brought my burgers and they were for sure not looking as they did on the menu. Huge gorgeous looking burgers on the menu but when I removed the wrapping it was some very tired looking burgers that popped up.
I did not even finish both burgers. We left and I made a mental note to never come back to Burger King again. Well, maybe for a shake.
My choice for the evening
Can´t say that I felt very good when we left Burger King but I was not hungry. I was home around 10 thirty and I went straight to bed as I will be busy tomorrow. I need to go see them at Double Floor between Sukhumvit Soi 72 and 74 and as it is Saturday they close at 12 o´clock.
I stopped to get a haircut on the way to Double Floor so I was looking like a proper tw#t arriving to their show room. I stopped at Soi 49 to see a carpenter when I was ready at Double Floor and they will come have a look in the afternoon. They will do the painting and new desk for me.
Looking like a proper tw#t
Pepsi MAX coming on board
Our Time Keeper is updating me with pictures from Map Ta Put anchorage. My MAX has been delivered and they will wait for me so I have a little something in the dry dock in Singapore. If we go to the dry dock, buyers on board to have a look at the ship, and if they buy the ship dry dock will be cancelled.
Monday and I need to go to the bank and get money for my new floor. I stopped at Via Vai for Spaghetti Salmon after the bank and I started to transfer money to Double Floor while eating
spaghetti and drinking Earl Grey tea.Double Floor have started with the SMART BOARDs when I´m back home from the bank. They have to put boards before they put in the wood floor. They expect it to take 2 days for the SMART BOARD.
Next week and they will install the desk and shelves and I have asked Double Floor to make the wood floor ready in the small storage room beginning of next week.
New SMART BOARD in my bed room

Putting new SMART BOARD in my guest room
Painting the storage room
I spent quite a lot of money buying new stuff and a new mattress that will be delivered next week. Thursday and Friday and they will paint the storage room. The ceiling will be painted when the
floor is ready. We completed the electric work on the Thursday and when they left it was knocking on the door, the Painters had arrived.So it is busy days and not much boxing, 3 times only before I left for a whale watching trip with Wild Encounter Thailand.
But I need all the exercise I can get and I take every opportunity so as soon as there are no work going on in my room I take a taxi to Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym for a session Muay Thai with ปีศาจแดง ก.กุมานนท์, Red Devil.
I will fly to Copenhagen for a seminar so I will
hopefully have a few more opportunities before I leave on the 26th september. My flight to Addis Ababa is on the 18th of October so if they cancel the dry dock there will plenty opportunities for more boxing. And I will pick up YOGA again.
At Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym
ปีศาจแดง ก.กุมานนท์, Red Devil
I take the opportunity to update my IT Centre and we open the ceiling and we draw LAN cables to all the rooms so I have full strength WIFI in the whole apartment. I have one router but the apartment is too big to get WIFI in the whole apartment.
So new LAN cables are installed and I will have AIS to come here to install a new router, the old one was destroyed in the fire. I will get NOKIA WIFI extenders from AIS and I will have a Technician to come and install everything.
Pulling new LAN cables in my apartment
Friday and I was off to have my third boxing session. My friend was here to remove a cabinet and I will ride with him back to Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym. We were about to leave when the painters arrived, I exploded, they should have been here at 9 o´clock in order to finish the painting before Monday when they will install the desk and shelves.
- DUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!
I was really angry, I´m not a painter, but I understand that you have to paint more than one time when you paint white paint. Not this people, they were ready. Fer ducks sake, one day and the paint was already falling off.
New paint falling off
The Painters left and we left to deliver the cabinet to my friend´s house and from there we will go to Chaiyasit Muay Thai Gym. We leave Sukhumvit and we reach my friend´s house an hour later.
I took the opportunity to decorate my friend´s house with the super magic and holy flags I bought in Nepal. And I hope that this will give us some well needed luck.
Decorating my friend´s house

On the way back to the gym, well, we decide to go eat at Sweeter Day. We had a bit of debate in the car. I had my friend to decide and he told me to decide.
- No, up to you!
- OK, let´s go to the gym
I was a wee bit disappointed with this. So I asked our other friend, he was hungry and we ended up on Sweeter Day. We took a table and we ordered Earl Grey tea first thing. I ordered one of their Nutella thing and two sandwiches.

Of course, a huge setback for my diet. Back home and I paid the handy men at the condo to paint my storage room or we would miss the opportunity to install the desk on Monday. They will put the floor in the storage room on Tuesday so I just have enough time to put in my stuff before leaving for Copenhagen and the Maersk seminar next week.
I see a delivery truck outside 7 when I come back home and I go to see if it is my MAX coming. I have ordered 3 cases of MAX to bring for my bird watching in Ethiopia. I bring back one case and I will pick up the remaining 2 cases tomorrow.

Handy men painting the storage room
The handy men at the condo painted my storage room in the evening so now I hope they come to put in the desk on Monday. And I can fill up the room on Tuesday when they are ready with the floor. They expect the apartment to be ready end of October.
First weekend off the ship and no one come to work in my room. So I have booked a whale watching trip with Wild Encounter Thailand so it will be bird and whale watching on Saturday. Click HERE to see if I am lucky with the birds and whales.
