1025. Sail Princess
After discussing the return trip, Qin's father and Qin's mother packed their things on the same day, stayed in the fishing ground for two more days, and decided to go home in late March.
Qin Shiou hired a small plane to fly directly from St. John's to Toronto, and then sent his parents on the plane to explain the flight situation to his sister, and then returned to the fishing ground in a daze.
The Melon Princess has been delivered, and a high-spirited giant ship docked at the end of the high pile pier, like an indomitable giant, waiting to fight the waves.
When the fishermen are not out at sea, they clean up the boats and wipe the stern of the deck boat clean and spotless, so that although the shell of the Melon Princess is old, it is still generally the same as a new ship.
When his parents left suddenly, Qin Shiou felt a little strange in his heart, and when Winnie saw this, he proposed: "The princess hasn't gone to sea since she came back, so how about we take Little Melon out to sea on her big boat to see?" ”
Qin Shiou's heart moved, but he hesitated: "It's not good, the little melon is still so small, what should I do if I go to sea and be blown by the sea breeze?" ”
Winnie laughed and comforted him, "It's okay, dress her warmly, I'll be fine in my arms." And this is her ship again, how could she miss the opportunity to sail on her maiden voyage? ”
Qin Shiou thought about it for a while and felt that it was indeed not a big problem, so he nodded and went to Shaq to ask when the boat could go to test the water.
A large ship going to sea is completely different from a small fishing boat, which requires a complete sailor system, including a captain, first officer, second officer and chief engineer, etc.
The positions of captain, first mate, and second mate are easy to say, Qin Shiou plans to rely on the crew certificate, and after the examination, he will be the captain of this ship.
Although the tonnage of the Melon Princess is relatively large. But after all, it is a fishing boat, and the management is much more lax than that of cargo ships and passenger ships. You don't need to be too skillful.
Different fishing vessels have different functions, and the qualifications and responsibilities of captains are different.
In most cases, the captain must have a captain's certificate of competency. It is necessary to be familiar with the ISM and NSM management rules, be able to manage the ship according to the ship's SMS system, and be able to complete the responsibilities of the captain specified in the ship's SMS system.
However, the fishing boat is special because its mission is to catch fish, so the most important responsibility of the captain of a large fishing boat is not to manage and serve, but to find fish and be familiar with the fish. Lead your subordinates to make money.
In this regard, Qin Shiou's ability is naturally not said, and the captain of the fishing boat is also one of the several ships that do not need the captain's competency certificate, as long as the captain can afford the relevant responsibilities and manage the crew.
In this case, the first mate is more important.
The first mate is the first officer and the captain's greatest assistant, who is responsible for the daily work of the deck department, doing a good job of safe navigation, and paying attention to checking the maintenance of the ship's equipment.
Qin Shiou has a suitable candidate, and that is the sea monster.
The sea monster is the best fisherman in the whole of Farewell Island. He is even better than Shaq, he used to go to sea when he was a seafarer, and he was the second officer and first mate, but now the shipping industry in Canada is not very good. And he doesn't want to be away from home for too long, otherwise he won't be short of work.
The second mate is naturally Shaq, and this job is very tedious. It requires a lot of patience on the part of the person responsible.
Before Shaq came to the Daqin Fishing Ground, he had a short temper. But after following Qin Shiou, his temper has converged a lot. Probably the same as many Canadians. After having a happy life, learn to be grateful to the world.
After becoming the second officer, Shaq was to manage the watch, and supervise the piloting equipment of the Melon Princess during navigation and berthing.
In addition, when the captain Qin Shiou chooses the purpose, the planning and implementation of the route and the correction of the nautical chart will also be handed over to him.
If it is a passenger ship, the second officer has a greater responsibility, and has to act as a ship security guard, and even be responsible for managing the ship's medical equipment and acting as a ship's doctor.
Whether it is the captain, first mate or second officer of a fishing boat, the work is relatively simple, but there is one position, but it cannot make a living, that is, the chief engineer.
As the name suggests, the chief engineer's duty is to check the working condition of various electromechanical equipment, correct incorrect working parameters and operating methods, and when the ship enters and exits the port, docks and unberths, passes through narrow waterways or navigates in other difficult conditions, the chief engineer must quickly and correctly control the main engine according to the instructions of the bridge to pass through these places.
Generally, on a ship, the highest level of piloting is not the captain, not the chief officer, but the chief engineer, when watching a movie and encountering a shipwreck, there is often a person who rushes out to take charge of the rudder, and most of that person's identity is the chief engineer.
This is not a job that can be done by just looking for someone, he must know enough about the machinery of the fishing boat, otherwise it will be months to go to sea, and if the fishing boat breaks anchor in the deep sea, it will be fucked up.
The group of people in Daqin Fishery probably have no problem with maintenance and testing, but if they want to carry out fine maintenance of fishing boat machinery and equipment, it will not work.
Qin Shiou considered that everyone was unreliable, so he could only recruit on his own, or dig a high-quality chief engineer through headhunting.
Now this matter is not in a hurry, Qin Shiou is not in a hurry to go to sea, and all the equipment of the fishing boat is brand new and does not need to be overhauled, and if there is a problem during the trial, the Poseidon shipyard will be responsible for solving it.
Holding the little melon, Qin Shiou accompanied Winnie to the boat, and the tiger and leopard followed like little tails, shaking their heads and tails and jumping on the boat.
The little radish head was very unhappy to watch a group of people get on the boat, he hated the ocean very much, he didn't like to ride on the boat, and then stopped after running to the dock. Xiong Da didn't keep up, it's not afraid of water, it's just lazy......
Da Bai lay on the shoulder of the bear and yawned leisurely, a picture of no quarrel with the world, King Simba looked at Da Bai with envy, it also wanted to climb up, but the bear didn't want to see it, it pounced on the bear Da body, and it would be thrown off immediately.
King Simba whined unwillingly, and the bear squinted at it, and slapped the little lynx so much that it jumped and fled.
Winnie called Simba to get on the boat, Simba stared up at the big ship with wide eyes, smashed it and still didn't dare to come up, shook his head and went back to the villa.
Qin Shiou motioned to Shaq to direct the boat, and the fishermen all got on the boat, and put on neat suits, which were still the clothes they wore when they went to the Basque Country to attend the commendation press conference, and now the weather is about the same as then, and they are dressed just right.
The fishing boat sounded its whistle, and the sound was loud and soared into the sky.
The bear sitting on the beach was startled by the sound of the whistle, his lazy posture flashed away, and he got up vigilantly and stared at the huge body of the fishing wheel, and when the fishing wheel started, it quickly turned around and ran a few steps away, as if it was afraid that the giant ship would rush onto the beach.
This guy is actually very clever, if the giant ship really rushes to the beach, it will be directly crushed into meatloaf! (To be continued......)
