I am Erkan , and working on board as a Marine Engineer
freedom we experience at sea. A moment when we realise we are out and away from all the civilisations and societies that tell people what to do and how to live.
We do what everybody else does. We talk to them on Skype. Video-chat when needed. Use the social networks to stay connected with friends. Read news online to stay updated with current affairs.
While fighting with waves and the oceanic creatures the only that gives courage to them is his native and family whose prayers are always with them. They face cramped, stark, noisy and dangerous weather conditions at sea.
Day and night they are so busy in their work schedules that they don't have time to get bored. Well, yes danger of life is present on board but it is being reduced by the UN due to introduction of rules and regulations for the safety of life. Now-a-days technology is so much advanced in shipping that they can be in contact with their family memebers all the time by the satellite telephones and internet.
