Pretty much, though on a slightly larger scale:

Hang on, the one one the right. It's a molotov cocktail.

Mr Molotov would disown them :lol:

Actually, it was seawater and bacterial contamination of Jet fuel (that same cargo is currently being distributed across East Africa following various treatment procedures and may well have been/will be used to fly Timothy home :pale:

The ship you're STSing with on the port side looks rather big to be carrying Jet Fuel surely?

Your thinking in BP terms Josh, she's 110KT deadweight, but100KT+ Jet shipments are routine for the big trading companies. Typically load Mina or Sikka and discharge by multiple STS Singapore, East Africa or Gib.

However, in this picture, she was there only to receive 20KT of the tank bottoms from the contaminated vessel, and then to undertake biocide addition, filtration, and then internal blending with 80KT of other cargo.

Whilst that sounded impressive, I don't have a clue what it meant.

Fair enough. Only ever carried Jet/Avgas coasting around Australia (which is a story and a liver transplant in itself). I don't envy the constant STS work though - I am not deeply enamoured with 6 on 6 off...
