Look at All the New Stuff in the Warehouse

Chief Officer Andre van Schoonhoven sent us this photo of just some of the thousands of items that are arriving at the yard as part of the owner’s supply to make the ship operational.

He said the material includes “flammables lockers, ropes, pilot ladder, luggage X-ray machines, you name it — and that is just the Deck Department stuff.”

Of course, along with all the cool new stuff comes lots of paperwork. Third Officer Aafke Bergsma is shown here checking purchase orders and cross-indexing them with the invoices.
