Chapter 4: Onboard Levi Wisdom

Location: Port of Sohar, Oman

AK stepped onto Levi Wisdom, his sharp eyes scanning the deck as he was greeted by the outgoing Chief Officer—a stocky Greek man with a tired expression.

"Welcome aboard, Chief. Let's get this done."

They moved straight to the cargo control room, where the officer handed over a thick folder.

"Handing-over report, cargo status, ballast records, sailing condition—it's all here," he said, tapping the file.

AK flipped through it, nodding. "Alright, show me around."

The officer led him through a quick tour:

✔️ Loadicator – Checked. Cargo weight balanced properly.

✔️ Navigation equipment – Explained. Radar, ECDIS, and GMDSS all functional.

✔️ Engine room status – Reported stable.

✔️ Cabin – Shown. Simple but enough for the journey.

After the tour, they returned to the bridge.

"Everything's in order," the officer said, stretching. "I'm signing off. Safe sailing, Chief."

AK shook his hand. "Take care."

As the officer walked down the gangway, AK exhaled.

Now, it was just him and Levi Wisdom. Time to get to work.
