Guess the Viking Sky’s crew never took the fill her up class.
Who forgot to take the boat to Jiffy Lube?
Didn’t have enough lubricating oil onboard? Or did something fail that kept the lube oil from getting to the engines?
That’s why they should always have a couple of extra quarts stored in the engine room.........
Maybe I’ll open a jiffy lube in the azores.
In my experience after 50 years of sailing, the engine only quits when you need it the most.
Aka ..Occasio-Cortez syndrome.
What, did they have the US Navy at the helm?
The person in charge of the person in charge with checking on the person in charge of the supplies of lubricating oil for the engines was on shore leave until just minutes before the ship’s departure, and then never got around to doing all their duties that needed to be done before departure; while the engine crews just looked at each other and said “it’s not my job”. /sarc
I knew a guy who bought a used car and drove it until the engine seized up for lack of oil. He couldn’t understand what happened...he said it had oil in it when he bought it.
Shouldn’t have gone to Jiffy Lube.....
Man a ship that size would have I’m think 20 tonnes of lube oil
