Hatches are kept wide open, we off load with 5 t grab buckets . Buckets are not electric or hydraulic. We have to be careful at all times, no smoking, no fuel leaks, no electrical cables. We can't even say the word explosion. Products are not mixed, least not in one hold. This ship had two products A.S. and Calcium ammonium nitrate CAN. All of it nasty stuff. We off load a lot of AN ammonium nitrate. I'm on "pins and needles" the entire time till we get
finished. Armed guards and closed entrance at all times on Ports these days.
Good money though, buys a lot of cars. My boss, big time car guy.
