Exactly at 02.00 am I arrived at the port of Tanjung Perak Surabaya when I got off the bus there was already someone from the company who picked me up to take me to the port and I was told to rest in the mess provided by the company.
In the afternoon I walked around the harbor seeing port people working on ships in charge of loading goods from the warehouse to the ship while I saw ship people like crew members and ship officers just sitting quietly watching ship workers work maybe all of them have assignments and their respective responsibilities. After a walk to see the port I was called to the company office to submit personal data and personal documents such as seafarers' books, certificates etc. after I finished from the company I was immediately taken to the ship, the first impression I felt and saw was when I saw the ship that was so big and all the crew welcomed me well and I was ushered into my room which would later become my bed.
After cleaning up in the room, an officer came to me. His position was as a second officer or a second officer. He would introduce what was on this ship from the bow to the stern. There I was introduced to the navigational tools on the ship and their respective functions. The name of the ship that I'm on is KM. Cahaya Nusantara, a cargo ship type and coincidentally tomorrow this ship will set sail.
My first voyage arrived, it was a very amazing and frightening experience. The first time I sailed, I mostly just watched the officers working on the ship's motion, navigating and how they carried the ship and determining the ship's position on maps and other navigational tools.
