Chapter 2276 Ye's No. 1 Oil Tanker
Brother No. 2 Oilfield is simply a treasure pot. The fleet of oil pulling vehicles lined up in a long queue every day, and flowed endlessly to the port.
The port of Versailles is a small town, but it is unique because it is a natural deep-water port.
At the beginning, there were not many ships here, but with the development of oil resources, it gradually flourished.
Ye Yuhe is now in charge of Versailles himself, and the ships in this port are basically owned by Ye's Ocean Company.
The reason I came here is because the crude oil transportation here is too large, and it is my cousin's business. How could Ye Yuhe make this business fall into the hands of others?
Yang Geyong was naturally happy to take on business in Ye Yuhe. Chinese people have this habit of dealing with their own people and not getting in touch with strangers.
Ye Yuhe ordered several giant tankers at his brother shipyard. The first one just arrived at the port today and was loading the ship.
After full load, this tanker can reach a terrifying 900,000 tons and a length of 500 meters.
As the world's largest oil tanker, it can fully accommodate 650,000 cubic meters of crude oil, and its hull design is more comprehensive. It uses bivalve technology after 3.5 feet.
Unfortunately, the full load of water is too high to operate in shallow water at all, and even some important ports cannot enter.
But Ye Yuhe doesn't care, because such tankers will only enter specific ports and will not run around the world.
This tanker is equivalent to seven sizes of the American Ford-class aircraft carrier, which means that the aircraft carrier is a younger brother in front of him.
Of course, this refers to size and transportation capacity. After all, it cannot be equipped with force, otherwise it will become a warship, and you will not be allowed to pass through the waters of any country when it is driven.
This tanker is another masterpiece that has different packages. The fourth super ship was taken first by others. He has been resentful of this matter. Now he has finally won the world's number one, and he is comforted by old man.
For this reason, the media conducted a lot of reports, making Bao Duo full of popularity. The title of Ship King is completely worthy of its name.
Ye Yuhe, a guy who is very fond of merit, decided to participate in the maiden voyage in person the moment he received the tanker.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on him. The main reason is that the cost is so high. If he doesn’t experience it once in person, would he feel no sense of accomplishment?
The refinery has not been completed yet, and the ship transports all crude oil. According to the reserves of Brother No. 2 oil field, even if there is a refinery, it is impossible to eat up all the exploitation volume of the entire oil field.
In other words, the world's largest oil tanker will take 20 or 30 years to pull oil for brother oil fields, and you will definitely make a fortune.
This is not an oil tanker? It’s just a money printing machine. Just one trip, Ye Yuhe can count the money for a long time. That feeling is so fucking.
This oil tanker was named Ye Family No. 1 by Ye Yuhe. His father used to create his family business. How could Ye Yuhe regard this ship as his starting point and carry the Ye Family Group toward a more successful shore.
Such a large ship will naturally not treat the crew unfairly, the comfortable cabin, the spacious kitchen and the activity room. I don’t know how many times better than ordinary cargo ships.
Ye Yuhe didn't go down after receiving the boat. He has been living on the boat these days, saving even some of the entertainment activities he likes.
Now he also has two sons. Although he is still young, he is also young? His parents are old and everything in the future will depend on him.
Thinking about the beautiful Western Nur River, Ye Yuhe grinned and smiled. Although he still likes to eat, drink and have fun, he has been much more restrained since he has this wife.
Nurjiang gave birth to two sons for him, both of whom were smart and clever. If he worked hard like this, he might not be worse than his cousin Ye Yuze's family in the future.
Every time Ye Yuhe thinks of these things, he feels full of energy and strength.
The endless oil tanker has been loading for seven days, and the tanker is about to be filled. It has a total of 650,000 cubic meters of crude oil. It has to be unloaded for several days when it arrives at the port. Ye Yuhe once grinned.
When the tanker was full, it was already midnight. According to the captain's wishes, he had to wait until tomorrow morning to set sail.
But Ye Yuhe couldn't wait. He arrived at Yangcheng Port for about 25 days from here. With customs declaration and unloading, one month was tight.
This is still the case when everything goes well. If you encounter a storm or if you don’t enter the pass smoothly, the time will have to be extended, and Ye Yuhe will not be able to wait for a minute.
The boss said, and the crew naturally had to obey. So, amid the deafening whistle, Yeshi No. 1 began his first maiden voyage.
Actually, it was not the first time. It was like this when I picked up the boat, but that time it was empty, and this time it was full.
The weather for setting sail was not good, the moon was dark and the phoenix was high, and the waves near the sea were very big. The captain was relatively timid and persuaded Ye Yuhe several times, but the boss insisted on setting sail, and he had no choice.
The captain's name is Chen Hai, a Singaporean. He has been making a living on the sea for generations. He is already forty years old this year, but he has traveled to ports around the world. He is also a person with a very good reputation in the shipping industry.
An hour later, when the ship arrived at the high seas, Chen Hai finally let go of his heart. Although the storm was strong, it was nothing in front of a giant ship like Yeshi No. 1, and it only caused a slight shaking.
Chen Hai was relieved and became excited. The most feared thing about sea transportation is to encounter wind and waves. Now he is not even afraid of wind and waves, so it becomes a travel.
The captain's emotions naturally also affect the crew members. The crew composition of Oceanwide Company is relatively complex, and basically everyone from any country has them.
Because the ship has a relatively complete range of highly automated equipment, there are only 50 members of the entire ship, which is also something that Ye Yuhe is very satisfied with.
You should know that the salary of crew members is also part of the heavy burden of Oceanwide Company, because seafarers are higher than those of ordinary people.
After all, you have to wander on the sea for a few months, and that kind of life is not something that ordinary people can live.
Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong once tried a long voyage, but it ended without reaching the finish line. There was no way, it was hard to end.
Many people like the sea and the magnificence of the sea and the sky. The boundless blue seems to wash away all the unhappiness in your heart.
But that's because you stand on land, if you put you on the boat for a few months, there will be no marginal blue around you every day.
Your activity space is only in Class A, and most people can’t stand it. Anyway, the sea is called romance at a glance, and if you see too much, you will cry.
No way to gossip, anyway, this super tanker is undoubtedly a benefit for seafarers in the ocean life, which has increased the comfort level by countless levels at once.
So, when the tanker first arrived at the company, the seafarers rushed to sign up and found a relationship to get on the ship.
However, the quota is limited, and every ship sails must fully consider the captain's wishes. After all, when the ship arrives at sea, everything depends on the captain's command.
Therefore, most of the crew members of this tanker were selected by the captain himself. Of course, Chen Hai also had to take care of all aspects of relationship.
In addition, the Ye family’s confidants were needed, so that among the fifty people, thirty people belonged to his iron team, while the other twenty people had complex factions.
Ye Yuhe naturally didn't know these things, but he was familiar with the sailors and came from his hometown.
You should know that Zaozhou is also a sea-line area, so there will naturally be no shortage of seafarers, but there are indeed not many people who can travel to Africa.
The sailor was named Meng Zi'ang, who was 28 years old this year. He originally came to Malaysia with his father to do business. As a result, Ye's Ocean Company was established, so he directly entered the fleet.
He is not familiar with Ye Yuhe, but Ye Lishuan is his common idol with his father. Therefore, he joined the company just to do something, and at least he could shine his family and his ancestors when he returned to his hometown.
The late night sailing and the stable navigation made the crew rest after their initial concerns.
There are only a few postures left to keep driving. People who have been running for a few years have known where there are reefs when they close their eyes, so they are not worried about any accidents?
The next day, the wind had stopped, the day shift staff was on duty, and the night shift staff went to rest after dinner.
Because the boat was just started, there was plenty of room on the boat and there was no need to worry about supplies, so everyone was very relaxed.
After a few days, after completely adapting to the ship, everyone became more relaxed, including Ye Yuhe, who also came together with the crew to play cards and drink some wine from time to time.
Chen Hai stood in the wide cockpit and watched the sea with a telescope. He was not worried about anything, but because he was afraid of deviating.
You should know that there are no references to sailing in the sea. It depends entirely on instruments and equipment to determine the course. Once the equipment makes mistakes, it will be a big trouble.
An experienced captain can observe these mistakes entirely by relying on his eyesight and feeling and correct them in time.
In the event of a big storm, the captain's grasp and command of the situation is also an important guarantee for ensuring whether a ship can be safe.
Therefore, although they are all captains, their salary varies greatly. An experienced captain like Chen Hai will earn several times higher than that of ordinary captains.
It's useless to not accept this. Chen Hai is forty years old this year, but has been sailing in the ocean for 25 years. It seems that there is no place he hasn't been to.
Moreover, since he became the captain at the age of 28, he has not had an accident. Of course, he has encountered several dangers and made a quick decision to let the cargo ship return to the port safely.
Such a captain is not something you say you don’t agree, it depends on your grades and reputation. It’s not bragging.
When the boat sailed near the Su Yinshi Canal, Chen Hai's heart became nervous again. It was not that he encountered wind and waves again, but that the place was not peaceful.
Somalia is the country with the longest coastline in the entire African region, and it penetrates deep into the ocean like a horn. It holds the exit from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. It is also a must-pass route for the Suyinshi Canal route.
Although Chen Hai has never encountered pirates in so many years, there are countless ships hijacked by pirates nearby.
Due to the long-term wars, this country has almost no economy of its own and the people are living in poverty.
Pirates have become white-collar workers in this place and are one of the highest-paid groups. Although plundering ships also has certain risks.
But compared with the high returns, the casualties are negligible. After all, for this place, human life is the least valuable.
Moreover, most merchant ships will not resist. After all, the goods belong to the boss, and no one in the captain or crew will fight for these things.
This has caused the pirates here to become more and more rampant, and they even reach the point of being crazy, and they will kill and rob.
Of course, under normal circumstances, pirates will not hurt people. After all, they are seeking wealth, and each crew member will charge a ransom.
They will also ask the owner to spend money to lose goods that cannot be sold. Of course, if they do not redeem them, they will deal with them by themselves.
Chen Hai personally climbed to the observation deck and nervously observed the surroundings with a telescope. In the cockpit, several people were nervously scanning the sea with equipment to prevent sudden situations.
Not long after, Chen Hai's nervous voice came: "Snap forward, the pirate is here."
The cockpit was busy, and various commands were issued, and the tanker slowly began to accelerate.
A few small dots on the sea surface began to appear and then gradually enlarged. It turned out that seven or eight speedboats were coming at high speed.
There were three or four pirates wearing shirtless and holding submachine guns sitting on each speedboat. What were they holding with their mouths without listening?
Chen Hai has returned to the cockpit. The tanker is too large. The disadvantage of large size is that it is slow speed. Especially the acceleration process, it is like the old cow.
Although Chen Hai tried his best, it did not work at all.
In fact, Chen Hai also understood that even if he was driving at full speed, he was not on the same level as other speedboats. He was just the difference between a ox cart and a motorcycle, so he couldn't run at all.
Usually when encountering this situation, the captain takes the lead, but now that the boss is on the boat, Chen Hai naturally has to take the lead.
Ye's ocean-going ship was intercepted once. That time, Lighter came forward and personally contacted the local government, so he took the ship back.
Although some cargo was lost, no casualties were caused, and since then, Ye's ship has not been hijacked.
After all, it is so close that Marseille is really annoying, and the outcome of the pirates is unpredictable.
So, no matter how vicious a person is, he will be afraid. After all, killing people and robbing people is for money.
If he was spending the money he had robbed, why did he do such a thing? Unless he was sucked in his brain.
Ye Yuhe knew about this, so when the pirates approached, he asked the seaman to point at the flag on the freighter and tell the pirates loudly that this was a Marseille ship.
The pirates hesitated for a moment, but unexpectedly, a young man with a scar on his face spitted out a sputum with contempt.
"I don't care about Marseille. Ask them to bite me? Stop the boat quickly, or I will kill you all!"
Seeing this attitude, Ye Yuhe finally panicked and negotiated in person: "How much does it cost? Can I give it to you?"
The young man looked at him disdainfully: "I will go up and get it myself. Do you have to bargain with you?"
Seeing that there was no possibility of negotiation, Ye Yuhe ordered the crew to start resisting. However, there were only fifty crew members on the ship.
