He doesn't have to be that old to have gone to sea when the standard contract was 18 months on ships that never called at European ports.
If the ship was in Far East trade two years were the norm. Many stayed on board for years on the same ship, or stayed in a foreign port between ships.

Standard contract 18 months to two years - I wouldn't describe that as "At sea you went away for years". Short term stuff.

This trip you have been on many times, but on a launch, or HSC, not on a Container ship.

This thread has been dead for a while. Time to get back onboard a Container ship again, this time on a trip from the Red Sea to HK, via port stops in Colombo and at the now defunct Tg. Pagar terminal in Singapore: http://gcaptain.com/watch-thundersto...eid=4674ba0fbe

The British Royal Navy may have done away with the daily tot of rum for the everybody but they still know how to survive long voyages on their ships:

Maybe they should have had a better drinking culture for their crews while visiting foreign ports though:
