00:00 Debbie Smith, you carried out the ceremony today. How did it feel?
00:05 It's very exciting, thank you. Yeah, it's a huge honour to be asked to be Godmother of the ship.
00:11 So I felt it was a very huge privilege to be here today.
00:15 And how did you come to be invited to carry out the ceremony?
00:18 So I've worked for James Fisher for 23 years and I started as an accounts assistant in the finance department
00:27 and swiftly moved on to the tank ships department.
00:32 And from there I worked my career up until now I'm a chartered accountant and financial controller with James Fisher Tank Ships.
00:40 And is this the first time you've been invited to do something like this?
00:43 It's the first time I've been asked to be Godmother, yes.
00:47 It must be quite different from your normal job.
00:49 It's very different to my normal job, yes.
00:53 We had our two goals but we got there in the end.
00:56 Yeah, we did. There was quite a bit of wind up there, wasn't there?
