ParticipantAnyone been through Libya recently?
Whats Customs like, any hassle with laptops, cameras etc? I assume FHMs etc should be avoided?

ParticipantRay,
Libyas fine.
Best leave FHMs etc behind although there are plenty there.
Laptops cameras no problem as long as you leave the camera in the bag in the airport as it doubles as a military base.
Alchohol is a strict no no. Totally dry. Likewise pork, leave the bacon butties at home!!!!
Also I have not been fleeced once. You can get some local currency in the airport.
Plastic is virtually non existent so take a wedge of cash with you. Dollars or euros.
Enjoy. If you get stuck for a day or so visit roman city of Sabratha, superb day out.
The old walled city is worth a wander also the museum in the city centre.May 1, 2007 at 2:55 pm #11746Ray Shields
ParticipantOK ta. Just wondered about the airport and customs/immigration people would be like, doubt I’ll be hanging about much. Me liver needs a drying out after the course anyway!
Just popping down for a week for the Hunter manup, papa smurf will be going off next week so wont be able to catch up with him 😆

ParticipantHi Ray,
Hi, I’m amazed at that. Heres something though, apparently there will be a Fugro (ex rovtech) Olympian going on the back of the Rocky 2 in Malaysia, along with one of our XLs. As our big red shed will be in transit in late summer some of the tmrv guys on here, myself included, might be crewing the beasts. Particularly since we’ve already spent 6 months on the Kikeh job. Kings is rather a nice bar in Labuan there with lots of nice friendly young ladies. Have you heard out?

ParticipantHi Ray,
Thanks for that confirmation. What sort of 7 function has it got? Has it got a T3 on it? Maybes you guys could ask Technip if they’d like a T3, I reckon they will say yes!

Hi is it going on as a trencher or a work class ROV?. I heard Technip needed a 1500 mtr ROV for Kikeh so i wonder is this it?.
