Baltic Queen

Wednesday started in Tallin.

Our colleagues from the Estonian administration picked us up at Swissotel in the morning and we went down to the Port of Tallin. Baltic Queen arrived

and we went onboard together with Surveyors from the Finnish administration. During a HSC there are things that has to be done according to an EU directive. That includes a Man over board drill, Lifeboat drill, Simulated black out test with an emergency steering test.

The Bridge Officers are involved in the Steering gear test.

We also walk around the whole Ship to see that everything is ok. Like the landingplace for helicopters.

Maintenance is going on all year round.

The crew onboard is very good and the Ship is so well looked after you almost need to take your shoes off in the engine room😉

Practice makes perfect.

On big ships the are 3 different places that you can steer from and this is the Captain and the Chief Officer on the port bridgewing.

In the evening I found these 2 girls working in the pianobar.

And of course there was some Christmas trees.
