In the last month they have delivered Charlie Comeaux(299), Russel Adams(299), C Endurance(299), and Blue Orca(317?). Crazy. I think the 299 series is done and the 312’s are on the way. They should basically look like B. O. They better get slip c done SOON… ---

I like the the lines of the Blue O but she looks a tad narrow and top heavy. ---

Is she an OSV? Finally the Chouest designers realized they shouldn’t just multiply everything by 1.2 to get a larger boat. She’s really nice looking. ---

Love the looks of the Blue Orca. Especially the rounded wheel house. Still wouldn’t like to work for Chouest again though. ---

That is entirely possible. We are going to give you a new “better” ISM that doesn’t communicate with anything. I figure if we don’t turn in the computer boat logs and maintenance program maybe the office will fix it. ---

That new MS is absolutely horrible. It has slowed productivity on this vessel bigtime and has done nothing for safety or making things any better. Its a joke… ---

Its a joke… I wouldn’t say it is the antichrist, I just think it could have used more work before the release. They also need need need fucking need to put another computer in the bridge for the mates to do safety paperwork on with the deckhands. ---

The next iteration will have ipads with fingerprint sensors so all you do is touch your finger and all the Pre-jobs, JSEA’s, PTW’s magically presto sign themselves. ---

Hell this version is almost there, you can just enter 0000 to sign anyones name, that or just use your own code for anyone else. ---

I agree on the second computer. The engine room computer is down and everything is going through the bridge. PITA! [Next page](https://forum.gcaptain.com/t/chouest-newbuild-frenzy/10985.md?page=2)
