Hi all,
Rod Nissen ex-Bank Line (Blue for the sea we sail on, red for the blood we sweat.......)

Left Australian National Line container ships and RO - ROs as cadet, to start with Bank Line as 6/E in 1977...Marabank (double header)...first and last Sulzer...then the delightful Doxford on Forresbank, Sprucebank, Birchbank, Meadowbank, Corabank as 2/E in 1981. Then the (new) Willowbank (back to containers) with a B&W messed up engine.
Then Cedarbank to the Falklands to do our bit and eventually Crestbank , payoff in lovely Romania.

Back to Australia in 1984 and did my Chiefs ticket and again with ANL.......Allunga with that horrible Pielstick. Left the sea in 1985.

Oh for a Doxford any time!!!
