The 335m long KYOTO EXPRESS passes under the @hfxharbourbridges with clearance of 1.52m. To allow this to happen, it requires precise information provided to the Pilot from the Captain, as well as clearance with the @portofhalifax using an Air Gap Measurement System.#marinepilot

This is a 393-years old Greenland Shark that was located in the Arctic Ocean. It's been wandering the ocean since 1627. It is the oldest living vertebrate known on the planet.

@finance_LL @dieselduckster The Alanis is a deep sea, foreign flagged vessel. Not Canadian whatsoever
English
The Alanis? Canada has a vessel called *The Alanis*?
Welland Canal@wellandcanal

@justokay34 @Manson42097964 @CPercySearle @HowesNathan @OttawaNewsToday @Welland @WellandTribune Equinox is a nice ship, had a season and a bit on her with Schultz. Superb captain

@auzzya @Manson42097964 @CPercySearle @HowesNathan @OttawaNewsToday @Welland @WellandTribune Wouldn’t have happened on my Algoma Equinox vessel. We both know how well these are put together 😂

This is crazy. This just happened less than 2 hours ago. Two cargo ships collided in the #WellandCanal. @Welland @WellandTribune. Video courtesy of Jeremy Barton.

@Manson42097964 @justokay34 @CPercySearle @HowesNathan @OttawaNewsToday @Welland @WellandTribune Without a TSB report, hard to say just what happened. Best to leave assumptions where they belong..

Why am I not fucking surprised? Thousands of people trapped at sea or at home not able to join their ships because of the virus and no one even knows our job exists.

@SamHuge1 @robshaw_vansun @VaughnPalmer @BCFerries Not everyone who's currently on the island lives there. I work for the coast guard, my ship is based out of Victoria and I live in the Sea to Sky corridor. At least one ferry each way from DepBay to Horseshoe would have been nice but I'll make do
English
@robshaw_vansun @VaughnPalmer @BCFerries Why do you need to leave the Island, are there no hospitals, food stores or gas stations there? Get real, stay home!
English
Part of me is: Okay, @BCFerries cutting service and stopping Nanaimo-Horseshoe Bay run saves $, makes sense.
Another part of me is: Good christ we live on an island w/ no way off except BC Ferries and it should be running routes empty just for our peace of mind.

Losing track of all the @Transport_gc initiatives for #seafarers in the face of #COVID19? I've tried to aggregate the info that might impact #shipping and you.

Correct hand-washing technique.
We’re not going to make it.

@COSBCTweets @dieselduckster @Transport_gc That was my first thought when the PM announced the border closures except for airline crews.....
English
While Canada's border restrictions permit crew changes for airlines, policy for international seafarers is unclear. Clarification from CBSA and @Transport_gc is urgently required to support Canada's international #trade and the welfare of seafarers. #covid19Canada

Actually, soaps do help. The virus is a self-assembled nanoparticle and the weakest link is the lipid bilayer. When you wash your hands with soap it dissolves the fatty membrane and the virus falls apart thus becoming “inactive”. Please wash your hands.

Fun fact: antiBACTERIAL soaps that kill 99.9% of bacteria, do nothing against VIRUSES. And corona is in fact a vIRUS.

@hicapted I do it more to get the pilot's name for the deck log, and always when things have calmed down
