This week it was time for a HSC on Silja Symphony, one of a few Swedish flagged ships. There is no difference in the inspection but it is Finland who makes the report. I boarded in Stockholm on Tuesday evening to be in place when my Finnish colleagues cane onboard in Helsinki on arrival.

Coffee is ready for the morning meeting

One of the Captains is a Moose hunter and in the Officers conference/dayroom his trophy no 63 just moved in.

In the Engine room there is maintenance going on on one of the main engines

All ships has to have a special place for Pilots to come onboard. On this ship it looks like this

Very soon it is time for a drydock including a facelift so this could be the last time the entrance to the nightclub looks like this
