PHUKET:-- The MV SEAFDEC departed Phuket today on a 14-day round-trip to repair and reinstall Thailand’s two tsunami-warning buoys located west of Phuket.

 

The ship, named after its governmental agency owner the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), left the Phuket Deep Sea Port at 1pm with a team of 30 experts from Thailand’s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) on board.

 

The team will first install a new fully operational buoy to replace the one no longer working as ‘Station 23401’ in the multi-national ‘Bay of Bengal array’ located some 600 nautical miles west of Phuket.

A 14 day round trip?

30 experts required... I can smell a herring.

"30 experts"!

Don't they mean labourers. 

The buoys have been built! 

All they are doing is laying and activating them.

 

All Thai labourers are experts, or at least know how to act like experts.

“After they have completed their mission and returned to Phuket, all officers and crew members on the ship will be held for 14 days in quarantine in accordance with the Ministry of Public Health measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19,” Mr Chetta said.

 

They expect the crew and officers to catch the COVID-19 virus in the middle of nowhere?
