We should be fine as long as the Yanks don't mistake our "Not under command" signal for a two storey cathouse.
Will probably need to rig a dead-man derrick set up to offload the pallets.
The man in the black suit wants us to rig the accomodation ladder -- he doesn't want to take a chance on our pilot ladder. Good idea, too as we wouldn't want him to drop the pizza.  |
No need for that Tom. Our drybaulik crane will be ok. Jib will extend far enough for that job.
