bluesofa Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 "The acting immigration chief, Maj Gen Surachete Hakparn, and representatives of the Chinese media are visiting the salvage site today." I'm sure everyone will be on tenterhooks while the Chinese media are here. "all boats are being banned in a one nautical mile radius from the area, day and night." I'd guess little P is included in that ban too, while the Chinese media are around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Oziex1 Posted November 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2018 After reading the Thaiger story I find once again BJ is being refered to as the acting head of immigration. Is this because his promotion is not yet official or is it referring to his acting in front of the camera crew, every day. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a TV poll on the subject, judging from the piss-taking comments, I'm sure your latter option would win hands-down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly correct. Never done a salvage recovery but mated jacket to deck with large crane a few times, plus many other marine operations with crane and precision lift. Need very perfect sea conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
