No offense taken. I've been a yacht captain for 30 years, and have run all manner and sizes of boats (although nothing above 70m), but I am pretty...
Not necessarily. There are allowances for unmanned machinery spaces, based on the types of monitoring equipment installed.
Every vessel is different, and on many yachts the engines can only be started locally in the engine room. As stated in the video, control will...
I hate playing Monday morning QB, but I will chime in to answer your question. On BERILDA I have the ability to start the main engines and backup...
[ATTACH] I was not at all involved, but someone posted this on a private captain's forum.

Greek crew are a whole different breed!
When typing, it's much easier than finding the degrees symbol. TBH- I have no idea where that even is!

I am currently cruising in Greece, and an unfortunate incident happened a few miles from us on Friday night. 13 crew, all Greek, as well as the...
