<p>Our son will be heading off to Japan soon to join his MSC ship for his second sea year. He brought home a heavy box of books which he says he needs for his sea projects. I don't know how he will get this on the plane since it weighs around 50lbs. Is there a better way of doing this? Should we FedEx the books to where the ship leaves from?</p>
<p>is he a deckie or engineer? If a deckie, all he really needs is the AMSM, the MMOH, and the Rules book.
Can’t help if he’s an engineer.</p>
<p>He is a deckie. I will pass along your suggestion. Thanks!</p>
<p>Everyone takes a certain amount of heavy books and stuff. If he can get some of it in his back pack and carry it on, he may eliminate part of the weight problem. If you try to FedEx or UPS heavy stuff overseas, it is likely to be more expensive than the airline.</p>
