VERY cool, indeed, mate, what a great experience!

Please be sure to document your trip in images if possible, Serhan, it would make a great photo reference feature for us here at MSW...

Hi,

...Than the hectic small tug taken all service engineers on board and hit the waves :



Passing largest drydock of our Country :



We left behind Shipyard Area's breakwater :



..and than blown out the water by newly seen small passanger catamaran sailing her trials :



Reaching out the lady in waiting, drafts noted and got on board :



Engine Control Room, here was the home for sleepless 2 days :



...Performed lot of tests with friends, than we had a chance for deaerating stinky socks :

Thanks for the pics and have a safe trip Serhan! I LOVE the “interior” tug boat pics… love the colors and layout, for sure a source of ideas! Cheers

Enjoyed the photos,
that engine control room sure is pretty, and has changed a lot since I stood in front of one.
