Though I don't know the exact location that this incident took

been brought aboard to bring this vessel in and was totally in
charge of giving the on duty helmsman the minute by minute
heading commands. Needless to say... the Master (aka Captain)
would be in attendance on the bridge... but usually they never
question the pilot to the best of my knowledge.

No doubt, but unfortunately for the Master, he's still on the hook for
it.

Great pictures... in a perverse sort of way.

As per cargolaw.com, the Captain was being called for most of an hour
to get to the bridge by the 1st officer. Why the 1st Off couldn't get
things straight, who knows, but the point being is that they tried to
hurry the Pilot since the tanker was an hour early. Ooopsie.

Ah, Christmas.
