EPISODE 7: OFFSHORE BANTER with Kim Asher - Worst Ship Ever
Sep 06, 2023, 09:55 PM
As Kim's journey unfolds, she finds herself on a cable project in Denmark, stepping aboard a ship plagued by neglect and poor maintenance. The conditions are far from ideal, with dirty cabins and safety hazards lurking at every turn. She discovers poorly spliced cables, corroded wires, and outdated equipment that pose significant challenges to the job at hand.
Despite Kim's efforts to voice her concerns, both the crew and management appear dismissive, leading to frustrating delays and compromising safety. An inadequate emergency drill only exacerbates the mounting issues. It becomes painfully clear that this vessel lacks a safety culture, evidenced by deserted bridges during transit and an overall disregard for the well-being of those on board.
The story reaches its climax as Kim and her fellow crew members find themselves celebrating the company's bankruptcy. It marks not only the end of a turbulent chapter but also the demise of an unsafe operator in the maritime market. Kim's personal journey through these challenges underscores the importance of prioritizing safety and maintenance in the offshore industry.
