[BITList] passenger ships -FMEA

Hugh
Can only remember one blackout while with BI and this was alongside in 
Mombasa on the Amra, I was returning in the wee small hours after a 
night of supping Tusker up town the Taxi pulled up at the gangway and 
just as I was paying it off the ship went dark not being in any fit 
state in my opinion to be of any help to deal with this, I got back in 
the taxi and returned up town, when I returned at daybreak all was well 
but the second was not a happy chap as he had been trapped in the engine 
room lift most of the night before managing to climb up the shaft only 
to find that he couldn't open the gate at the top and of course by this 
time everybody else was down on the plates sorting the trouble, needless 
to say I never mentioned my whereabouts at the time of the incident
