Blackout

31 January 2009 Posted by Martin

[Køge, Denmark]Blackout! There is an unusual silence on board the Logos Hope tonigh. The emergency batteries are flat, and it's pitch dark. Only the lights pointing out o the Exit are still on. This programmed blackout for the safety audit transforms completely the atmosphere of the ship! This audit is important for the future as it aims to get the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate, the paper wihout which we can't sail.

Hence all systems are checked: from our fire fighting systems, to the rescue boat, and including the ventilation system and drillse. There are still some points to be fixed, but our departure from Denmark is near!
