The Story of My Working Life

Sclater, Bob

Omschrijving

Embark on a riveting journey of ambition and valour that takes a young sailor from the humblest beginnings in the Merchant Navy to the apex of the marine world. This tale of ascent is punctuated by thrilling perils at sea: accidents, collisions, blazes, and even the perils of war. As the first North Sea Oil makes landfall in Orkney, our protagonist steers mammoth oil tankers through some of the planet's most treacherous waters, skilfully averting near-catastrophes and environmental hazards with expertise. His career crescendos as he assumes the mantle of authority over one of the U.K.'s most multifaceted Harbour Authorities, overseeing port operations, towage, ferries, and the burgeoning oil sector. A highlight of his tenure includes securing the prestigious BP contract to tranship the first North Atlantic Crude Oil into the Flotta Oil Terminal, a testament to his professional acumen. This narrative is a testament to the power of resolve, proving that with unwavering dedication, the path to extraordinary achievement is always navigable.
