Turn on the tap, and there’s nice, hot-and-cold running water, ready for your shower or bath. Turn on the television, and everything is in working order, as you’d expect. Go to the loo, and after you have flushed, you can forget all about it. Get in a car…a plane…or even a boat and you expect it to get you from a. to b. and with no extra fuss. When these things go wrong, you call out an expert, and he or she will trundle along, usually in a van with some tools and gladly fix it for you, for a modest fee. In ENDURANCE, we take our own set of experts with us. These diagnosticians are highly skilled, but just ordinary guys and girls…and are supported by some fine mechanics who continuously make sure that the services carry on, twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. It’s a never ending process. Things break. We fix it. If we can’t fix it at sea, we will shut it down in harbour and fix it then. If it needs spare parts, we will contact our Logistic colleagues and arrange for new bits to be delivered. If it’s a long job and we don’t have the tools and people to do it, we arrange for specialists to do it for us. And in between that, we find time to relax and enjoy the normality of life on the Royal Navy’s Ice Patrol ship. It may seem like hard work and at times, it is just that. But the feeling of satisfaction that grows when you have worked tirelessly on a faulty pump, dodgy radar or even a busted tap and the thing now works…and who fixed it was you is reward in itself. It’s what keeps us going. And we are what keep ENDURANCE going.
