So far, getting settled in, but this also can lead to problems as even though returnees are extremely rare at this time, they are a ship and they have returned. I wonder if because theres so many crew on the ship relative to the port and city that oncee the curve is taken into account, its extremely unlikely anyone else is going to return while theyre in town? And if they do, what time of day the Event occured, how likely are they to arrive healthy and not survive the immediate aftermath or monster attack?
Stresses are climbing, alcohols is being considered and the Captain has got a real headache building in how to proceed. Especially with how to keep refueling. As in how far can they go on their own tanks before turning round to get back to a known depot, and how long will the known tanks of main engine fuel at non lost refineries and storage be useable?
it feels like every one is starting to or trying to come to terms with every thing.
now how will they find out that magic is real and that you can really fly.

As far as her endurance is concerned, Amandine can get relativelly far on one tank. Provided she keeps cruising at her economic speed (a.k.a. slow-steaming), she can keep going on her main engine for 140 days. Of course, she was built (the actual Amandine that is) in 2011, so she's rather modern which gives her excellent efficiency.
Problem is, because a ship is meant to be at sea and not in port (harbor fees are horrendously expensive), she stores less diesel fuel (for her generators which power her in port) than heavy fuel oil (for the main engine). In port, she 'only' has about 50 days worth of fuel.
Now, I've done my due diligence in researching fuel shelf life and what I got seems to indicate fuel can be left up to six months in storage before it needs to be refiltered and treated to remove the impurities and deposits. Marine engines do have filtering equipment, but I doubt it is able to treat fuel to such an extent (as there really is no reason to have that kind of filtering at the ready under normal circumstances). That leaves Dilip with two choices:
-Seek out new filtering equipment to recycle old fuel
-Make some new fuel at a refurbished refinery
And either option isn't exactly what I'd call simple.
