2 years agoBom dia Ricardo. Vamos lançar um livro sobre os 30 anos do H44. Poderia me passar seu e-mail para enviar um e-mail do meu e-mail funcional da Marinha? Temos muito interesse de adicionar algumas fotos suas no livro. As imagens vão com os créditos do autor.
5 years ago============================= Feb 2020 - Punta Arenas, ChileDocking a larger-than-70m vessel is not an easy task. Firstly there is the problem of parking space (it's like a parking lot in the center of São Paulo, but further south, and very, very much more expensive). There are also the protective measures, such as these tires that prevent the hull from hitting the concrete of the wharf, and moorings, such as this one in the foreground, a prevention against "runaway" ships. At the back you can see the access ladder to the deck, with handrails on both sides so that we don't fall when entering the ship. The NApOc Ary Rongel is our oceanographic support vessel, originally intended for oceanographic research, and that has lately been more used to transport personnel and cargo to the research campsites of Proantar (the Brazilian Antarctic Program) for the EACF (the Antarctic Station Commander Ferraz), and for other needs of the scientific program. It is the famous Red Giant, ready to set sail for another mission in the southern seas.
