Fuel transfer

This morning we went over to the Hermod to transfer some of our fuel. Because of the swell, we could not moor alongside so we had to do it a little bit different. The mooring ropes of the Hermod are pretty much overseized for us, so there is no risk of breaking ropes. And even then we have a redundancy of 100%. There is a emergency switch of the fuel transfer pump on deck and also on the bridge, reducing the risk of getting any fuel in the water to almost nil. And for that we have special word: the risk is ALARP, meaning: As Low As Reasonably Possible
