The Case Of The Tongues Of Fire
When words are a burning issue,
you’d better know how to put out the flame
IDESS IT has produced a CBT on firefighting ‘Fire Safety For Ships’. The demo download is a bit chunky at 90 megs but does include some useful basic information on fire. Try it out here
The Case Of The Electric Assassin
Just because it says ‘Safe’ on the label
doesn’t mean it won’t kill you.
The Case Of The Confused Pilot
If you don’t talk to your pilot you could be
heading for a bad turn
The Case Of The Lethal Lampshade
Three men lay more than a hundred yards from the thick torn metal that once covered the top forward ballast tank, they were dead.
In the gathering darkness, in the roughening seas around the ship, the bodies of four other men were being carried away on the current, three of them never to be found.
Inside the gray powder-coated ballast tank, burned and injured one man lived. He would not survive his injuries. The last sound he heard, if he heard it, before the massive explosion may have been the quiet pop of a light-bulb breaking…
The Case Of The Seductive Sim
Ancient mariners feared the seductive call
of the siren would wreck their ships,
this modern mariner was seduced by call of the SIM
The Case Of The Killer Catch
It can save your life,
but there’s a catch.
And that catch can kill
The Deadly Saviour returns…
The Case Of The Baffling Bays
Put together three bays as alike as walnuts in a shell game, a tired pilot, and an obedient second officer and the right turn could be the wrong turn.
The Case Of The Bosun’s Crush
Bosun Jack was dead. His body lay under the worklights beside a pool of blood. The instrument of his death was a short distance away. One thing is certain, his killer still hunts seafarers.
The Case Of The Errant Hookers
She’s powerful, unpredictable and pushy. If you don’t keep a firm hold it could mean a rocky relationship gets very deadly.
The Case of the Deadly Saviour
Where is the most dangerous place on your ship? The cargo holds? The chain locker? The galley? The rolling deck in a storm? No. The most dangerous place on your ship is the one place you really, really want to be when things go really, really wrong.
The Case of the Wandering Monarch
A cruise liner with 1,500 souls aboard, the most dangerous waters around the US coast and a GPS that tell lies to the autopilot for 36 hours with nobody noticing. Guess what happens next…
The Case of the Silent Assassin
Ships are dangerous places for the badly trained, the unwary, the careless. In this case two seafarers were killed by almost nothing.
The Case of the Cozy Captain
An exhausted Captain; single watch-keeping; a warm, cozy bridge at night; the heavy traffic of the Kiel Canal, and pirated navigational software. If you think that sounds like a recipe for disaster, you’d be absolutely right.
