Rooo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 October 9 nth , 5 am ferry from Samui. Truck laden with 24 tonnes of seafood, lucky he didn't succeed in releasing the fishes. Glad all ended well. https://www.facebook.com/100008011458778/videos/1641701449440221/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Safety First , they write on many trucks in Thailand; but not on ferries, I can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Lucky no one hurt.... my guess would be Seatran, I think the Raja ferry all have green decks....(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assurancetourix Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 When I was an international trucker, I went many times to Great Brirain from St Malo, Cherbourg, Roscoff with my " only " 32 tons truck ; before 1980 it was the maximum load for trucks in GB I never saw something happened and the ferries are much bigger than the Seatran or Raja ones !

Mr lamai Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The ferry is in wrong position. Heck, there are atleast 2 AB´s looking but not seeing the landramp is barely touching the ferry superstructure. Totaly human error. The lorrydriver have all the rights to be upset.

ParadiseLost Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Pardon me for being cynical, but this report has been nagging at me since first reading:- why is a fully laden (seafood) truck leaving Samui, heading for the mainland? Is there a seafood processing plant on Samui? This makes no sense to me and in the current climate of UUI investigations, who knows what kind of shenanigans are happening right under your noses...

If you go down to Nathon Pier (not the Seatran one) and drive or walk to the end, there are many trucks being loaded with fish (time of day varies) .. There is even a large ice making machine... Many fish boats moored there over night! Also as one drives out of the ferry terminal area along the coast road section and the bend in the road there is a fish packing plant....(toward Maenam before the 7 -11 on the corner) lots of different coloured plastic packing boxes usually there...for sorting fish! Surely with all the fishing boats around Samui has a huge surplus that heads to other areas of Thailand or perhaps further afield ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Truck was heading to a fish processing plant Samut......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Truck was heading to a fish processing plant Samut......? Huh? !!! Wherever processed for final market they would sort and pack with ice before headed of the island! .... Somewhere I have pictures, but can't put my hand of them right now!

ParadiseLost Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I will have to admit to jumping to wrong conclusions it would appear... There you go - buy a cheap tin foil hat from Lazada and the false alarms start immediately. Silly me, I never think of Samui as a center of industry - where do all the packers live? I have been through the packing 'district' in Ranong a few times, and was amazed at the number of packers (I assume), walking in/out of the massive warehouses. Could not imagine the same exists on Samui. But, you learn something new every day, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large fishing boats unload at Naton pier Koh Samui. Last week a boat was unloading 58 tons of Tuna, i was chatting with the buyer who gave me a nice fresh Tuna.
