I’m curious what her mechanical crew are. I’m betting Norwegian officers, but in propulsion dept?

That’s good. Very good.
Yes, I will steal that.
Kinda like the MCAS system on the 737 MAX, but with the plane, you cannot put out your anchor.
Two Norwegians are applying for jobs on a cruise ship.
The HRO person asks the first Norwegian,
“What experience do you have?”
He says,
“I was a diesel fitter.”
He gets immediately hired.
The HRO person asks the second Norwegian about his experience.
He says,
“I sewed the women’s panties.”
The HRO guys says they can’t use him.
The second Norwegian starts yelling about how the hiring process isn’t fair because they hired the first guy, but not him.
The HRO person says,
“Yeah, but he’s a diesel fitter. You just sewed panties.”
The second Norwegian says,
“Sure! I sewed the panties and handed them to him and he held them up and said ‘Ya, dese ll fit her.’”
That Norwegian Captain On The cruise liner I was on told me he was going to use me as an anchor if I checked another old lady on the shuffleboard court.
Don’t go after the puck if you’re not ready for a little rough play, I say.
human error, no way around it. The engine room crew screwed the pooch on this one.

safer than a 737-MAX.
How many people could helicopters have pulled off an airliner with non-functioning engines?
Yep, it is all about PERSPECTIVE.
If I had a few extra minutes I could put the thought into a haiku
Well, from another source: "Viking Sky is propelled by two six-bladed fixed-pitch propellers with a diameter of 4.5 metres (15 ft).."
If you run the ship aground your propellers just might seize up and engine no runny no more.
Would think there’d be plenty of oil to spare in the kitchen, although these cruises might have less of the heavier safflower and corn oils, and more of the lightest extra extra light virgin oil.
This Golden ShellBack calls BS. I was also a snipe when I wasnt instigating shenanigans.
The mains can be filled with copious amounts of lube oil at the turn of a valve, more like the push of a button, to maintain proper operating levels. You know, in case you might run into bad weather or something and find yourself floundering into the rocks.
:)
Oooof Da!!
There’s a right way, a wrong way and the Norwegian way.
I’ll bet the mains have dip sticks. Of course that would mean someone actually had to get off their ass and go check. Maybe they were all doing the technicolor yawn.
Those chains are way lose.
Likely a design flaw...the minimum sump level was insufficient to keep the low level sensor covered in oil in the severe sea state the ship encountered. I read that when the ship put to sea, logged oil levels were slightly above minimum, which is their SOP. This would explain why all four engines shut down simultaneously.
What no baffles in the oil pans?
Guess the Viking Sky’s crew never took the fill her up class.
