0:00:02 > 0:00:04Aberdeen harbour.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Yeah, so you can pick up to a speed
0:00:06 > 0:00:08of between five and six knots, please.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10A multimillion pound business
0:00:10 > 0:00:13at the cutting edge of maritime technology...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Right, bridge on the move, Bob.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Roger, on the move, guys.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..where everyone works together...
0:00:21 > 0:00:24They can't swim, these guys, you know. They want to!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27HE LAUGHS
0:00:27 > 0:00:30You've got to be on the ball, you've got to be alert.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32..in the most challenging conditions...
0:00:32 > 0:00:35If he gets caught in that, it'll drag him over the side.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- What the- BLEEP- happened there, man?!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44..to keep the harbour running...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Oh, my God!
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Come on. Come on!
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Urgh!
0:00:51 > 0:00:52CHEERING
0:00:52 > 0:00:56..every single day of the year.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58We are looking good on starboard side.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00No, we don't drive a St Marie.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The navigation channel at the harbour's entrance
0:01:15 > 0:01:16is only 70m wide...
0:01:20 > 0:01:23..and many of the larger vessels have to be taken in
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and out by a more experienced hand...
0:01:25 > 0:01:29like Derek Cloots or new pilot Ali Akbar.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35This has been the best day of the year.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37It's the best morning I've seen.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38We'll certainly start seeing the oil.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah, definitely, lucky.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46They are heading out to the bay for the Stolt Redshank.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51On this ship, I am a trainee.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56And I don't have the licence to bring her in on my own
0:01:56 > 0:01:59so that's why Derek is here with me.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03OK, Ali, I think we can call them in. Say, six knots or so.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Stolt Redshank...
0:02:06 > 0:02:09It's a challenge to bring in the fully loaded tanker.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12This one is a little bit tricky
0:02:12 > 0:02:16because she does not manoeuvre very well.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17This one doesn't like stopping.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Stopping, yes, she is very difficult to stop.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24And when you do stop she tends to go one way or the other.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27But the most dangerous part of a pilot's job is
0:02:27 > 0:02:29crossing from one boat to another.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33As deckhand Charlie Monroe knows only too well.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Make sure the deck's OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37The ladder, inspected before they go on board.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Because some ships, their ladders are...not right, you know?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47So, I've got to watch all this for these guys, you know.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Ali has been at sea for the past 15 years.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10But this is the first time he's ever worked as a pilot.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12There we go, we're keeping him right.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18That's it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21What would you give yourself out of ten? Seven?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25It was OK, I would say. It was good, it was not the best.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26- Seven.- Seven out of ten.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30A seven out of ten job, no real errors, just not tidy.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34You know, but at the same time the captain is very happy, told me
0:03:34 > 0:03:37he did a very good job so at the end of the day, we got a happy customer.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We will learn slowly and
0:03:39 > 0:03:42we will be able to do it on our own.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53At home in Torry,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57barmaid Val Morrison is getting ready for a charity parade.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01If he was a nice looking man
0:04:01 > 0:04:04and I was walking down the street, you would take a look
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and think, "Jesus, that's like your granny out for a day!"
0:04:07 > 0:04:08She'll probably kill me when she hears
0:04:08 > 0:04:10what I've said about her sweatshirt.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Honestly, you could get two of me in there!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It was her friend Maggie who gave Val the sweatshirt.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22You better give me a 16, I said,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24because I said I won't get into a 14.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27But I got a new tip off the internet -
0:04:27 > 0:04:30how to come down in weight without dieting.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35It says you have to take a hold of your belly like that, shake it up and
0:04:35 > 0:04:41down, four times a day and I don't know what it is but you lose weight.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45You do not need to diet. And I came by my belly.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Christ, it would've been out here!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Maggie runs Bosies,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58a charity shop which raises money for breast cancer.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Maggie got her breast off for breast cancer.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06So she kens first-hand.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09She kens first-hand like it is.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I'm lucky, touch wood, I've sailed through my life and I'm really,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18really lucky and if I can help somebody else, it's fine.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24The only drawback is having to wear the pink top.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30If it wasn't the parade today, buy me something that doesn't make me
0:05:30 > 0:05:32look like a blancmange!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48On dive support vessel The Bibby Sapphire...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54..cook Haimi Pacia is hard at work.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02Jimmy, as he is better known...is one of 13 Filipino crewmen.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I making a curry for tonight.
0:06:09 > 0:06:16I am making three menus. One is a beef curry and one is hunter chicken.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18SIZZLING
0:06:18 > 0:06:22It will be cook slowly, slowly. Nice and tender.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Pappadum.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Six months we are on board and then three months at home.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34His wife and four children are all back home in Manila.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Oh...
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Every time you miss them. We miss them.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's a good curry now, good colour.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's very important!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Because everybody is working, they need to have nice food.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56I normally come through about ten minutes before the hot food
0:06:56 > 0:06:59is out and make all the salads and get all the cutlery and stuff ready.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Assistant life support technician, Nancy Orton,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08also knows how crucial food is to the divers.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12The whole time they are in the water they go hungry,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16so their return meal is what they look forward to.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Especially when a diver can burn up to 5,000 calories a day.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Well, I like to make sure they have more than less, if you know I mean.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I think I probably feed them a bit too much, to be honest.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34But...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You don't need all that extra energy.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42No. No.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45George does. Look.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47HE LAUGHS
0:07:47 > 0:07:50This is where we send through anything, laundry...
0:07:50 > 0:07:52tea, coffee...
0:07:54 > 0:07:57This one is a nice size, but some of them are really small.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06When we blow it down we have to make sure there's no leaks coming out.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08And then...
0:08:08 > 0:08:13you blow it down slow, because it can explode or implode, anything,
0:08:13 > 0:08:14that's in there.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Take your door. OK. Hello, Nance. - 'Hello.'- Take the door.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20'Going for it now.'
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I've exploded loads.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Soup mainly is my favourite to blow up.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31But I've exploded salads, all sorts. You name it, I can blow it up.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- 'You got that?'- Yeah, we got it. Thanks, guys.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42That's the weirdest part, sometimes you can do a whole trip
0:08:42 > 0:08:43and not meet the diver.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46They'll hear your voice and you'll sort of see their thumb
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and that's all you get.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Yeah, and then they lock back their old stuff.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Many of the 8,000 ships that pass to the harbour every year
0:09:14 > 0:09:15have a foreign crew.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21You've just arrived? You poor thing. You OK for phone cards?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24And Howard Drysdale gives them all a warm welcome.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27We're open 6pm to 10pm every night.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Take care, my friend.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Howard is port chaplain
0:09:33 > 0:09:35and superintendent of the Seafarers' Centre.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Let's have some light.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42HE HUMS
0:09:42 > 0:09:45We need a bit of hoovering, I think.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It opened in December 2011,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50after Howard spent years trying to get it off the ground.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53The centre has just gone from strength to strength.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58It costs roughly 100,000 to run the centre and £80,000 is my salary
0:09:58 > 0:10:01and 20,000 for opening the centre.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02I wish!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04HE LAUGHS
0:10:04 > 0:10:05If only!
0:10:05 > 0:10:09If only. I'm going to go and put the computers on.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10HE HUMS
0:10:10 > 0:10:14The centre is just across the road from the harbour.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17A place where seafarers can come for advice and support.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Make yourself at home, boys. All right?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Is it free?- Free, yeah, no charge, no charge.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- You know you can send a message? - Yeah, here.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31When did you join the ship?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- Just...a week ago. - So you just arrived?- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:42- And how long are you staying for? - Six months.- Six months?- Six months.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45As you see, I don't preach at the guys.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48If they talk about spiritual issues I'll talk about them,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50but if they don't, then I'm not going to.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- And they're very open with me. - And my wife is here.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57She is a queen! A princess!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10There's a problem with the pilot ladder.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14On a ship that Ali's just brought in.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25It's not good enough, you know.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27That ladder shouldn't be like that.
0:11:27 > 0:11:34It should be straight, because in bad weather it will shoot up.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40There's just one more ship waiting to come in.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Yeah, good morning, guys.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47If you'd like to make your way towards the entrance now,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'll board you starboard side.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It's the only ship that Derek has to steel himself to board.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56This is the boat that broke the ladder.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59This is the one where the ladder fell away.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05The deckie caught me on the deck
0:12:05 > 0:12:08but stopped me going in between the two boats.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12He was off work for a month with his injuries.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14It nearly killed me.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18It's a psychological issue with this one but I'm getting over it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21That's why I'm coming out now. Before, I would never have done this.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I'd just say to Ali, "You get this one, I'll get the other one."
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It's only the second time that Derek has brought her in
0:12:31 > 0:12:33since the accident.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55The company procedures have all been shaken up.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I've got no issues at all with how they dealt with things.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01They've made things better for us all, yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Got a nice cup of coffee and a handful of peanuts,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19so can't complain, really, you know.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33WOMEN CHATTER
0:13:35 > 0:13:38That looks good, doesn't it? Nice and pink.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's just over an hour until the parade begins.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45And Val's given in to wearing the pink sweatshirt.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Nice!
0:13:47 > 0:13:48SHE LAUGHS
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Look! It hugs you on your belly.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Val is not the only one from the harbour taking part.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Just waiting for the sun to come out. It's dry.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02HE LAUGHS
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- How are you feeling, ladies? - We're fine.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- What's your breast charity? - Bosies!
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Jut checking our breasts.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'm going to play about wi' your breasts.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Listen, wi' a sexy T-shirt like this,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21naebody's gonna friggin' play about wi' MY breasts!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23LAUGHTER
0:14:33 > 0:14:34On the Bibby Sapphire,
0:14:34 > 0:14:38they're connecting the pipeline to the new oil well.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Or tying in the flexible.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Diver one, coming to you.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50There's the flexible there,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53there's the flange that they are tying into the well there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Close up just now.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Just trying to close in slowly without disturbing them at work.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Got the flange split there?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Taff Reese is the dive supervisor.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09When you're happy it's separated,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12you can remove the connection from that bleed valve, yeah?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16As an ex-diver himself,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19he knows the challenges his men face underwater.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24People assume that you can't swing a hammer. You can still swing hammers.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28The hardest thing sometimes is finding purchase points to do so.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36But I mean, it's a great job, really, you know what I mean?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- You still love it, John, don't you? - 'Yeah!'
0:15:38 > 0:15:40HE LAUGHS
0:15:40 > 0:15:42You're living the dream, aren't you, John?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46You're like a machine today, John. You're like a machine.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51So the next phase now would be to clean this up
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and then get that oil and gas pumping.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58But after six hours in the water it's time for the next team
0:15:58 > 0:15:59to take over.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Up on diver one, please, mate.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08He just climbs, it's like the Indian rope trick.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Hand over hand up his umbilical.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13OK, he's climbing.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Yeah, John is like a young gazelle, so he's up there really quick, look.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Gercha!
0:16:22 > 0:16:24He's gone back inside.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26OK, he's got you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Bridge, 19.- That's the bell going.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Bridge, bell on surface 06. - 'Roger.'
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Clamps on.- Good work. Have the rest of the night off.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- 'Yeah, it's a good seal. Thanks.' - All right, mate, speak to you later.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Going off-comms. Have a good one.- 'Roger.'
0:16:56 > 0:16:57And that's it.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Howard is preparing for a very special afternoon.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I love doing christenings. They're always good fun.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16They are happy occasions.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Most of the ships that I've christened I've got
0:17:19 > 0:17:21a very good relationship with.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I go on and they're always, "Oh, hi, Bish, what's the latest?"
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Now for the moment of glory.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Off we go.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32With my executive briefcase!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39The ship being christened
0:17:39 > 0:17:42is platform supply vessel, the Sea Falcon.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Right, well, I'll hold the bottle and you tie it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Peter Ferguson runs an events management company
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and it's only the second christening he's done.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It is not proving easy, to be fair,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but I'm sure we'll get it to stick on with some gaffer tape.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- There we go. That's a really pretty bow.- Yes. Does it reach the boat?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- It reaches the boat. - Now, does it...?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- I hope it stays there! - HE LAUGHS
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- HE LAUGHS - Oh!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- It's coming away! - What's coming away?- It's slipping!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21HE LAUGHS
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Ohhh...
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Then Howard arrives.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Here comes Howard. Jolly good timing.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31With the rain.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- You must be Howard. Peter. Pleased to meet you.- Nice to meet you too.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I'm getting more and more stressed as the minutes go on.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Getting this damn bottle to hang over right. - LAUGHTER
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I love a challenge.- You need a sharp edge on the boat.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49If it goes at that angle it's not going to break,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I tell you right now.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- I've cuffed it at the back. - I'll take your word for it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- We'll wait and see. - LAUGHTER
0:18:57 > 0:18:59It'll go skiting right along!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It's always a worrying moment for the godmother.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Will the bottle smash?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I'm sure it will.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Just wait and see what happens.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Thank you. Bye.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28One of the benefits of being a pilot is the amount of time
0:19:28 > 0:19:30that Ali is able to spend with his family.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Thank you.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I have three daughters and...
0:19:38 > 0:19:4311 years old, eight and six years old.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45That is for your birthday!
0:19:45 > 0:19:50He's taking the whole family for a short cruise around the harbour.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Up! Up!
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- I want to sit down here.- Me too. - You want to sit on here?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58You can sit on here.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04We are going to show them about ships, because they are very
0:20:04 > 0:20:08curious about what I do and what type of ship I bring into the port.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14You see these three ships alongside each other?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18It's not long before he spots his own boat.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22The pilot is boarding the ship. This ship is sailing.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- And Ali even recognises the pilot. - That is Tim.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Wave your hand! Wave your hand! Wave your hand!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35The pilot is here!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- PILOT:- Hello!
0:20:37 > 0:20:40ALI LAUGHS
0:20:45 > 0:20:48They think that I just bring in the ship and take them outside,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51but how we actually do it, they don't know anything about it.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55She is the only one with interest in my job.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Even if his daughter has some strange ideas
0:20:58 > 0:21:00about what his job entails.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- Do you drive a submarine? - No, we don't drive a submarine.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15WHOOPING
0:21:15 > 0:21:17WHISTLES BLOW
0:21:18 > 0:21:19It may not be real,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21but there's definitely a carnival atmosphere
0:21:21 > 0:21:23on Aberdeen's main street.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30What a brilliant atmosphere! Smashing!
0:21:30 > 0:21:32CHEERING
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Hello, ladies!
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- I'm glad I put on a- BLEEP - sweatshirt now, cos it's freezing!
0:21:39 > 0:21:423,500 people,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45representing over 130 charities,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48have all come to raise their profile.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50One, two, three, Bosies!
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And collect some cash.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I hope you put money into my jar!
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- If you can buy designer claes, you miserable- BLEEP,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01you can put 10 pence in here!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Gies some money for our box!
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- Give us 10 pence, you miserable - BLEEP.- Get your money out!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Move!
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Hello! The Lord Provost himself!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Hello, Lord Provost, how are you?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Can we shake your hand, yes? This is the best charity.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Hey, Maggie, wait for me!
0:22:41 > 0:22:44As the afternoon progresses, the weather deteriorates.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Oh, my God!
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Death by red carpet!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I think we just take it away, roll it up. Take it away.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- It's too windy.- I didn't realise you were supplying a flying carpet.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06The Sea Falcon took two years and cost around £30 million to build.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11It's a momentous occasion for everyone involved.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Sea-farers generally are a very superstitious, religious
0:23:15 > 0:23:18mix of people who would be very uncomfortable sailing on a vessel
0:23:18 > 0:23:21that's not been christened.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29I prayed for the rain to stop. I forgot about the wind!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Well caught!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Hello! Good afternoon, how are you?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45As the guests arrive, Peter is there to welcome them.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Windy!
0:23:50 > 0:23:53But the wind is one thing he has no control over.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Who would have thought naming a ship would be so stressful?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I think we're going to get started a wee bit sooner.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Everybody's here. Get you in out of the wind.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Rather earlier than anticipated, the ceremony starts.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I came down to the vessel this morning at 8:30,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15and it was heaving with rain, so I said a prayer,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19"Lord, just take that rain away," and he's done it! Wonderful!
0:24:19 > 0:24:20But I forgot about the wind!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Blessing a ship is a tradition that's many thousands of years old.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34It is my honour to formally name you the Sea Falcon.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35May God bless you,
0:24:35 > 0:24:40and may everlasting happiness and good fortune
0:24:40 > 0:24:42follow you and your crews.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Thank you.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47And as for that bottle...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56First time, well done!
0:24:58 > 0:25:02HORN SOUNDS
0:25:07 > 0:25:09OK, that'll do.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Even if they do get carried away with the horn.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Stop, stop, stop!
0:25:26 > 0:25:30It has taken 13 hours for the Baby Sapphire to reach Aberdeen.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Ship's captain Hugh Jones is letting his chief officer
0:25:37 > 0:25:39drive her into the harbour.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42He's got to learn so we let him do it, when we can.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I have to elbow him out the way sometimes. Get my hands on it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Good morning. That's us full stop half a mile from the port.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04On shift today is Ali.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- How are you, sir? - Very good, thanks.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Draft at 6.5? Region 4?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Region 4.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- He's going to take us all the way to the berth.- Fine, sir.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22This is only the second time that they have brought the ship in.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Baby Sapphire on approach.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32We are reducing the speed slowly, slowly, sir.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38It will be a testing time for both men.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You can bring her to 310.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45They have to make sure she can turn in the basin.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48And start the swing. Yes, please.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Even when there's not much room to manoeuvre.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59She's wide clear from the installation. No problem.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09We are looking good on starboard side.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14The heading will be 115, will be OK.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- If you just get alongside there. - Thank you.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24He's in position now so he's just going sideways.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31Baby Sapphire, alongside region 4, making fast.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Looking good.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Just got to tie up now. The boy done good.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Enjoy your holidays.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Thank you, Ali. - I'll see you next time.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Nice job and I'll see you next time. Thank you, sir.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Bye.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53That's my job done.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00What you do, you do it on your own yourself
0:28:00 > 0:28:02and when you finish a job,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06you get that satisfaction, which you wanted.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10That's what I need and I'm here for that reason, and I'm enjoying it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Coming up, Howard gets a royal seal of approval.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26These centres make a real difference to their lives
0:28:26 > 0:28:28but to the lives of their families too.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And Val's crowned the Harbour Queen.
