I was working on the largest ship ever build to sail the seas for almost nearly 2 years and it's present name is KNOCK NEVIS but former names are JAHRE VIKING,HAPPY GIANT and SEAWISE GIANT. It is a 458.4 meters long (over 1/4 of a mile) and 68.9 meters wide. It is a ship so huge that when fully laden she can not pass through the 32 mile wide English Channel. As for know KNOCK NEVIS was converted to a floating storage and offloading unit a storage device usually for oil. The cargo oil she normally carries is wortj $122 million! separated from the sea by just 3.5 cm's of steel plate. Working on that ship is a hazardous one we are always expose to danger for we are dealing with oils and my motivation to work harder is my wife and my son.

The new breed of Filipino Heroes... that's how we call the seafarers today. We are hoping that our youngbloods would help uplift the image of the Filipinos around the world. Safe sailing always, my friend :)

Speaking of wife and son, that is the best thing you mentioned. For me I would speak to my wife and daughters, I don't have son, but I am still happy. Where did you learned about mylot? You know we Pinoy are still the happiest people in the world. We even text capital in the world. But unfortunately the no. 1 corrupt in the asia. Even here in mylot , no matter how little you earn here , I am still enjoying it. See you next time bro.
