Trophy fish are measured by weight and length at the dock. They almost always exceed the size of the angler reeling them in. The exception would be M/V Chelsea Rae, whose fish tale about five-year-old angler prodigy, Wyatt Goodwin, catching the big ones, is true.

洋上石油プラント「FPSO」とは 「FPSO」とは浮体式原油・ガス生産貯蔵積み出し設備（Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel）の略称。海底から原油や天然ガスをくみ上げ、貯蔵し、輸送タンカーへ積み出す船舶型の設備のことを言います。FPSOを利用することで陸地までのパイプライン敷設が不要になるほか、深海域にも対応できるなどさまざまなメリットがあり、海洋石油生産の場で活躍します。 FPSOは大型で高額のため、その多くが中古タンカーを改造して作られます。日立造船によって2001年に建造された、全長333m、幅60mもの大きさをもつ「Ariake」もその一つ。原油タンカーとして活躍後、最大130万バレルの原油を貯蔵し、日量9万バレルの原油を処理する洋上石油プラントへと生まれ変わりました。   FPSOの動力源

Repair, restoration and renovation of an old vessel is a significant undertaking. The reasons motivating a retrofit vary; however, in the case of Tivua, a 1982 Island Gypsy Europa MK1 retrofit, the impetus for change began in the engine room. “Before, the old engine oozed oil out of every corner,” said Rich Fricke, Tivua’s owner. “And we were so slow, running 7 - 7.5 knots and 6’s when windy. W

  Atlas, the famed Titan in Greek mythology, is renowned for bearing the world and sky on his shoulders, a punishment inflicted by Zeus on the strongest man in the world.
