Fueling a cruise ship in the North Atlantic Ocean. Ship was just off the coast of North Africa. We were close to Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶 Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 …. Of course a good amount of nautical miles away, but we were not too far from those countries. It didn’t take a minute for almost every crew to flock the open deck to witness this because like myself, I’ve never seen a bunker barge so huge (by length) and also we have been at sea for so many days, it was good to see other people!!!! . The bunker barge was a bit unstable, just kept rocking from side to side. The transfer of fuel didn’t happen on the scheduled time because safety was a major concern! Captain had to list the cruise ship to the left and ropes had to be tied to the bunker barge to offer some stability!! It’s all too technical for me, but from observation, the engineers were super busy that evening!!! Anyways, everything went well and after a few hours we continued our journey to Palma de Mallorca, Spain 🇪🇸
