Yep, or really in total mostly a ferry guy, as things turned out and with the deals Maersk made with the government, they dident have to use Danes on Danish ships, not even ones flying Danish flag.
Really sad i liked sailing "on the heat" and being out of Denmark 8 months of the year, but that was ruined.
Sailed with some old guys that told nice storied about arriving in Frisco during a strike, so nothing to do but rent a car and go see the states and then call back once in a while to hear if the ship was ready to depart, on the tankers we was in port for 2 days MAX, no place had the capacity for us pumping full power, otherwise the +200 M long ship would be empty in 9 hours.
And in the old days a tanker like the ones i was on had 35 - 40 men on board, when i was there they had 17 in total and it is even less now with 1 man operated bridges, so no need for lookout.
