Sailing Times

It takes approximately six (6) days of travel each way between Brunei and Japan or South Korea with at least a 24 hour standby time at each terminal to allow for the loading and discharging cargo operations. The standby time may be adjusted according to any operational events that may occur.

Weather & Sea Conditions

The weather conditions whilst at sea are highly dependent on the seasons of the en route countries. Vessels would travel through a variety of weather and sea conditions; from sunny and calm to wintery to rainstorms at sea.Contrary to popular belief, the vessels will not overturn but instead go through a state of ‘rolling’; i.e. the action of the vessel rocking and swaying from side to side. Side effect for the faint-hearted: sea sickness! This feeling does subside after a while and one tends to form immunity against it over time.

Legislation and the Onboard Rules & Regulations

All Marine personnel are to abide by the Flag State Legislation in force at that time and, the rules and regulations as implemented onboard the vessel by the Company, its Business Associates and the appointed Ship Manager.
