Hello people, I have graduated from the school thia summer and i will join on crude oil tanker as jr engineer. My goal is to work on oil drill rigs or jack-up platforms actually. Is that possible for a marine engineer to do that and if so, what steps should i take in order to work on oil drill rigs?
Thank you.
Seems odd that these are about the only non-specialized "general" trailers the game doesn't allow you to buy. Are these not ownable just because of a restricted variety of cargo in-game?
Do you do a lot of driving? Live in a big city with lots of vehicle accidents? Are you someone who would consider helping if you witnessed an accident? YSK what to do if you witness or approach an accident involving hazardous materials.
First, DO NOT APPROACH! When in doubt, stay FAR away from the accident - e.g. several hundred feet. If possible, stay upwind. Do not stop your vehicle in visible vapor clouds. If you are in traffic and can't get away, turn off your a/c, keep your windows rolled up, and don't open your doors. If you are upwind and can't move your vehicle, exit the vehicle (IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO) and get yourself as far away as possible. Your own safety is the first priority, even if you want to help.
Second, if first responders have not arrived, call the police and be sure to tell them a hazmat transport is involved. Describe anything you see, smell, taste, hear, or feel that seems out of the ordinary, e.g. "A tanker truck just overturned in front of me. I smell rotten eggs, and I can see vapor in the air and liquid on the ground." FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS THEY GIVE YOU.
Third, attempt to identify the hazard present (if you're on the phone with police, they will undoubtedly ask if you can see any labels or placards on the truck). Any vehicle carrying large quantities of hazmat will be clearly labeled with placards and numbers. If you google "blue placard 4" or "hazmat 3160," you can get a lot of helpful information about the material and what hazards it poses.
Also, consider getting the Emergency Response Guidebook, also known as the ERG or the Orange Book. There's also an app for the ERG now. This book is a quick reference guide to what placards and numbers on tanker trucks and other hazmat transports are carrying and what to do if you encounter an unexpected or potential discharge of hazardous materials. It has a very straight forward quick reference in front to identify the chemical(s) on board. Then you can flip to the page about that chemical for a simple, bulleted list of the associated hazards (explosion, ignition, skin damage, poisoning, etc.), what steps to take (including contacting authorities and other relevant agencies - phone numbers in book), and where you should be to keep yourself safe (stay upwind, stay at least 500 feet away, etc.).
**Fourth, if you are determined to act as a first responder while waiting for the authorities, make sure you are following all safety recommendations for the chemical involv

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)
> Two weeks after the United Nations admitted a leak in a rusting oil tanker's engine room nearly caused an environmental and economic catastrophe off Yemen's Red Sea coast, a UN team has yet to access the ship, with political infighting blamed for the delay.
> Apart from the environmental damage caused by an oil spill, which could be potentially worse than the Exxon Valdez oil disaster in 1989 in Alaska, millions of jobs and livelihoods could be lost.
> "If something happens in the Red Sea, millions will be affected, including Ansar Allah, and Ansar Allah won't get any advantage from the Safer's explosion or an oil spill, so it is irrational to say they are against the maintenance."
> 'If the oil spills from the tanker, fish will die and fishermen will lose all their work as there won't be fish in the sea and we will lose our coral reefs'.
> "If the oil spills from the tanker, fish will die and fishermen will lose all their work, as there won't be fish in the sea and we will lose our coral reefs," he said, noting that they had invested a lot of money into cultivating the coral around which fish live.
> "We are fighting to provide for our families, and it has become a challenge to provide them with basic things," Darwish told MEE. "In Yemen everything is possible. Six years ago we didn't imagine that warplanes would attack our city, but that happened, and today we hear about a danger coming from an oil tanker and a new disaster may happen."

Platform: Arcade Cabinet
Genre: 3rd Person Driving, race-against-the-clock
Estimated Year Of Release: I believe between the late 1990s to early 2000s. The first time I ever played it would have been in 2004.
Graphics/Art Style: Basically lit, all daytime, almost PS1ish, leaning towards realism for the time. Very typical for arcade games from the mid to late nineties.
Notable Characters: The only "character" I can really think of would have been the President of the United States, who would be driven around in the presidential limo (U.S. flags on the hood of the car, presidential seal on the sides) as terrorists chased the car.
Notable Gameplay Mechanics: Steering wheel controller at the center of the cabinet. Tons of ramps, I believe some destroyable crates and other props. I don't know how entirely true this is, but there MAY have been a helicopter mission that only allowed flying on the x and y axis if that makes sense (no ascending or descending).
Other Details: This is an absolute long shot, but the ONLY place I both ever played or saw this arcade cabinet was in the arcade of the Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino in Primmvalley, town of Primm, Nevada between 2003 and 2006.
Thank you so much for reading through!
