Especially to those of you who were so kind and supportive of my lad in this thread:

Young buna has just been notified of his promotion to Second Officer but the downside is his current leave has been cut short as a result and he is off to join his new ship tomorrow in Barcelona, the MV Noordam...don't suppose you can have it all ways



Fair winds and following seas son

Good news Jim, congratulations on this,

[Kloef]

Congratulations to your son

She's a biggy indeed, does she port in Amsterdam?

The big ones usually do, i would love to see it.

Yes she has in the past but she is currently sailing in the Med.

Congratz to your son!

I hope the collision with the white carrack, depicted in the logo, went well. A ship of the size of the Noordam should probably just plow through a wooden vessel.

You had me looking there...and then I noticed it for the first time...well spotted mate

Yay to the Buna family!

Much luck and hopeful advancement to Captain down the line.

As someone without kids who wants at least one. I can only be envious, and happy that your work did not end in vain.

He coulda been a chav. (kidding)

Good job sir, and much prosperity to you and your family.

I wasn't sure at first, if the logo should not show a white ship painted on the bow, but no: the white ship denies the bigger ship the right of passage - their mistake

[Jimbuna]

Much appreciated mate...he'll only turn into a chav if he doesn't look after his parents when they're old

Sorry but we cross posted...James read your post and he informs me the company logo is meant to signify how long ago the company was formed.

Pass along to Second Officer Buna my congratulations and utmost admiration for conducting himself in such a manner as to be awarded the new post as Second Officer MV Noordam. I'm inclined to believe he takes after his father.

James, well done lad, you really make your dad proud, as too are we. I wish you all the best with your new role, don't forget to swing by Newcastle like your last did (and if you can fit it into Immingham I'll gladly buy you a pint).

[mapuc]

I guess I don't underestimate when I say, that you are very proud of your son

And I as I wrote in your earlie post about your son sea adventure- I'm really envy on your family and your son.

Here's is where M/S Noordam is right now

Congrats to your son and you family! Bet you didn't expect this when he was a toddler and possibly annoying the heck out of his dad; it must be gratifying for you and the missus to know you are responsible for that fine young officer...
