One of my friends works for a seaman crewing agency. Today she posted a couple of photos from a general cargo vessel somewhere in the Northern Sea. The exact whereabouts of the ship is unknown, but judging by the windmills in the sea, it could be somewhere off the coast of Netherlands, all the way to Denmark. The stormy gales together with sub zero temperatures beat hard ship's steel construction. It is not a workplace for the faint of heart. Human flesh is not a match for a sharp icy teeth.
