Cook Rescued Six Months Ago


Anchor Handling Tug Jasco 4 & cook Harrison Odjegba Okene 

Reading yesterday's paper at lunch today (because the paper doesn't come every day anymore) and I see this story about a guy who was rescued after spending three days trapped in a tugboat that had sunk in 100 feet of water. Wow! That's amazing. But then I see that this happened six months ago, so why are we hearing about it now? Because now we have video. None of the current stories gave a good account of the event, but I found a good one in the Telegraph from shortly after it happened.
    There are still a couple of things that are not too clear, like the bit about all the other crew members being locked in their cabins, and whether the tug was towing something or simply manouvering, and how big are your anchors if you need a dedicated tugboat for handling them?
    The area is awash with oil industry vessels and platforms.
