一个老船长的故事(国/家)

  Quality & Service are policies for manyROs, as flag safety inspector need to be sensitive, not only for inspection,they need more care, they are seaman, and they are brothers and sisters.
  


  照片所示, 中间的是老船长, 是一位乌克兰人, 今年59岁, 已经做了23年船长, 红上衣的轮机长是印度人, 他们在这家公司服务了5年以上。 该轮去年10月得到USCGQUALSHIP21认证,上航次从澳大利亚装货回中国,船舶状况初步印象也良好,我的安全检查工作,会象往常一样快节奏按程序完成,但船长的一句话,引起了我的好奇。
  


  “Do yousmoking?I just start smoking 3 years ago”he asked, ” No,thanks” I replied. ”Do you mind smoking?”he asked again, “ never mind, I hasbeen seaman nearly 20 years, take it easy, just free and at your convenience” 这条船除了他一个乌克兰人,其他都是印度人,尽管船员们工作很好,但工作之外,作为船长他有和船员保持着的距离的意识,即是显示权威,也是自保。我上这条船前一天,他已经电话给我,进行简单的沟通和检查确认,他知道我是一位轮机长,又看到我的样子比较随和亲切,工作上有沟通的需要,情绪上似乎也有想说话的欲望,他确实有想说的话。

  “I havestarted to smoke since 56 years old, before never”he said, and hisface change to thinking. ”Okay, I know there are many stresses for captain inrecent years, that is job, keep relax, smoking is no good for your health” Isaid. “No, because the war in Ukraine 2014, my hometown everyday young man died, and I hadto leave my beautiful house, the house which with all my money and happiness, Ilost everything”他的情绪略显得激动,眼睛甚至闪现着泪花。

  2014年乌克兰战争,他的家乡每天都有年轻人死去,家园街道随时被炸弹袭击,使他不得不卖了房子,离开家乡,移民他国,他56岁前的航海收入,建成的美好家园,都没有了!“I lost everything, 60 years old, I still working” 他呓语着……战争中受伤的确实是老百姓!我想说“I am sorry to hear that”但显然无力,怕勾起他不幸回忆,我得假装没听明白。

  转换成工作话题,该干活了。虽然,船长近60岁了,但头脑清醒、思路清晰,马上一扫先前的不良情绪,全身心投入工作;这就是优秀的老海员,家里的事会暂时影响情绪,但工作起来后马上进入状态,一个个指令发出去,工作让他快乐,忧伤的脸上又恢复了自信。
  


  18:00临近检查结束,餐桌旁“Good evening Captain, the next loading port fixed---Dampier,Australia” one deck officer reported, “fine, prepare for next voyage” Captainordered. It is time to say goodbye, “Okay, dear captain , this inspectionfinished and vessel was in good condition, no deficiencies noted to encourageyou for your really good job, but it does not say no deficiencies exist! Thank youand your good company for good cooperation during this inspection” I spoken tothe Master.
  


  由于时间匆忙,想说的安慰没能说出口,总感觉是一份欠缺,谨记此文表达一份远方的祝福:

  Dear Captain,

  Stars and oceans in front of you, sufferingsand pains like the cloud and mist in sky.

  Passing storms, the sun raised up, we believe!we could to hear brave and happy voice, of you and your brothers.

  The landline was your back, the ocean wasyour chest!

  亲爱的老船长,

  你的前程是星辰大海,再多的苦难都是过眼云烟,风暴过后,太阳升起,我相信, 又能听到您和您的船员兄弟们勇敢、欢快的笑语!

  地平线是您的背影,海洋是您的胸膛!

  相信每个海员背后都有故事,这份安慰或祝福,也同时献给曾经和现在仍然在海洋一线工作的兄弟姐妹们!
