Chapter 3164

The blue sea is rippling with blue waves. On the sea, a huge cargo ship is sailing slowly.

If you look at the whole hull, the shape of the ship is quite bulky, and the bridge is deployed at the end of the whole hull, so it is a very common oil tanker.

However, if you look down from the air, you can see that it is definitely not an oil tanker, because from the top, you can see that its deck is not closed. From front to back, many decks have disappeared. You can see that there are mountains of ore piled up in the cabin, with a unique reddish brown on it.

This is the unique iron ore of yangbei country. Now, this ship is carrying a full load of yangbei country's iron ore. when it goes to the island country, it also hangs the unique plaster flag of the island country on the mast of the ship bridge.

The island country is not only an industrial power, but also a country lacking in resources. Therefore, what the island countries depend on for survival is the lifeline of the sea. They have a huge number of ships, constantly transport minerals, and then turn them into industrial products and sell them all over the world.

Yangbei country is an export-oriented country. The iron ore of yangbei country is very popular in the international market.

However, this ship is a little strange.

It is special, oil to powder.

The predecessor of this cargo ship was an oil tanker. Later, it was converted into a bulk carrier.

As for why the changes were made, there are many situations. For example, when some oil tankers were built, they just caught up with the downturn of the world oil market. Therefore, after they were built, it was not cost-effective. The ship owners temporarily changed their minds and changed the oil tankers into cargo ships to transport other goods.

It may also be that the old ships in the past, especially according to the regulations of world shipping, oil tankers need double shell structure to avoid leakage and pollution to the environment, while the former single shell oil tankers are slowly retiring. Instead of being eliminated directly, they might as well be changed into cargo ships to continue to give full play to the waste heat.

It is not difficult to refit cargo ships with oil tankers, because the grade of oil tankers is high and the grade of cargo ships is low. It is easy to change from high to low. At the same time, the volume of cargo warehouses is large enough.

The density of crude oil is not high, so the hull is bloated, and the volume of transporting iron ore is only one tenth of that of crude oil with the same weight. In this way, it is enough to open some openings as warehouses and strengthen them slightly.

On the contrary, we have never seen the case of changing cargo ships into oil tankers. This kind of change is really too difficult.

Now, the island cargo ship jianiamaru sailing on the sea is on the way back.

Captain Fujiki stood on the bridge, looking at the scene outside, with a satisfied smile on his face: "there is still one day's voyage, we can go back. This time, we can stop for two months."

This route is not far away. It is all on the Pacific Ocean. It can run twice a year from yangbei country to island countries. Among them, the rest time is the longest. If it is other ocean routes, it can only run once a year. Therefore, Tengmu took the initiative to request to be transferred to this cargo ship last year. He likes this kind of boat best. It's less trouble.

The biggest trouble is the container ship, which should be careful during transportation. When in the port, the crew must also be responsible for watching the lifting of the container. After all, many times, the container on a cargo ship is not from one country. If it is unloaded incorrectly, it will be very troublesome.

The most convenient thing is that the tanker stops at the port and waits for oil to be loaded. When it arrives at the destination, it waits for oil to be discharged. However, since the crude oil is viscous, as long as it is loaded in, it has to be heated continuously, and the main engine keeps running.

Now, this kind of bulk carrier is the simplest. You don't have to take care of anything. The conveyor belt is used to deliver the goods, and the unloading is still the conveyor belt. At the same time, because iron ore is not valuable, you don't have to worry about damage during transportation. It can be said that you don't have to take care of anything as long as you sail steadily and locally.

Thinking of this, he looked forward at the warehouses and sighed in his heart.

This is a VLCC single hull tanker, 319 meters long and 54.5 meters wide, with an original payload of 250000 tons. In recent years, the world oil price has fluctuated, and the oil tanker has reached its middle age. Moreover, the oil tanker is becoming larger and larger, and 500000 tons are very common. The ship looks small. Therefore, the owner finally decided to change to bulk carrier.

After the modification, the self weight of more than 10000 tons has been added and the structure has been strengthened. Now, it can only load 238000 tons. Moreover, because the warehouse can not be used so large, there is still a large gap between the cargo holds, which is also convenient for them to go down and check.

The boring sea life will soon end.

But just after he had said this, he heard a strange noise from the hull.

"Creak, creak." the noise was like a steel plate groaning. When he heard it, fujimu immediately looked at Yoshino, the crew around him: "Yoshino, take someone and check it."

"Captain, there's no need to make a fuss. The sound is normal. Maybe it's from the goods." Yoshino moved lazily and said to Fujiki.

They transport ore. although the ore has bumped almost all the way, it may rub back and forth in the bumps and make a sound. Therefore, in Yoshino's eyes, I don't think it needs to make a fuss. Where does such a big ship make a sound?

"If you want to go, you can go." Fujiki said, "speak again and deduct your bonus carefully!"

So Yoshino had to leave reluctantly. When he left, he was still muttering: "Captain, you have been listening to the radio recently, saying that our steel is fake. Those are all fake. Someone wants to crack down on the manufacturing industry of our island country. Our island country will not be fooled. Our technology is the most advanced."

He knew that on the bridge, the captain listened to the radio every day. As a result, he heard all kinds of recent public opinion accusing the manufacturing industry of the island country of counterfeiting, automobile counterfeiting, poor safety and steel counterfeiting, which almost affected the major water conservancy projects of the Han country. Even a kitchen knife had problems. It is said that it made a false alarm to a net red.

What's all this!

Yoshino is now in his thirties. He grew up in an era of rapid economic development of the island country. Therefore, he is full of confidence in the island country. He will never believe that there are problems in the manufacturing industry of the island country, let alone that there will be problems in the cargo ship under his feet.

However, when he went out, he found that the voice seemed clearer and bigger.

Isn't there really a problem?

Just as he had just summoned several people to go inside the cabin, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from behind. Captain Tengmu came out in person. He took a flashlight and shouted, "come with me!"
