During the Chinese New Year of 2024, the deck of CMES's VLCC New Constant serves as the focal point for operations and maintenance. Hou Baoshan, the Bosun (boatswain), is responsible for overseeing activities on board. With over 30 years of experience since joining the fleet in the 1990s, this marks yet another Chinese New Year spent on the vessel for him. Whether it's perilous high-altitude tasks, hefty cable maintenance, simple rust removal and painting, or intricate pipeline upkeep, his presence is ubiquitous on the deck. His dedication to ship maintenance ensures the seamless loading and unloading of cargo on every occasion.
