Opis

On January 2006 I embarked for Japan to receive a new tanker, which had been commissioned by Soponata but was delivered to General Maritime, since they had absorbed Soponata. It was one of my professional dreams of to take part in the recepti- on of a new ship: to oversee the end of its construction, to do all the trials at sea, and to take it out on its maiden voyage. Added to this there was my lifelong dream of visiting Japan, a cul- ture that has always fascinated me. On the 21st of January 2006 I embarked for Nagoya. I was shaking with fever, hiding what was almost a pneumonia, but I was not about to give up on these dreams. The rest of the story I'll try to tell you through the photos on the following pages. Today my only regret is not having taken three times more pictures.
