Duivendrecht is a village in the Netherlands (municipality Ouder-Amstel). The village has a combined rail and metrostation. This important station allows interchange between rail routes 20 and 30 which cross here on different levels. The lower (yet elevated) level (a broad island platform which also houses the station hall) serves line 30 from Schiphol Airport to Weesp, Almere, and Amersfoort. The higher level has two platforms each serving trains on line 20 from Amsterdam to Utrecht at the outer side and metros at the inner side (the metro line at this point runs between the two tracks of the main railway). A village is a human settlement commonly found in rural areas. ...

Duivendrecht was my third ship I sailed on and this time it became a longer contract than with my first two ships.
It was built for the transport of all kinds of special and expensive oils and substances, such as lubricating oil (short lub oil), machine oil, stearin etc. Some of the cargo's had to be heated while in transport from terminal to terminal to prevent coagulation, such as could happen to a cargo of stearin.
I remember the boatswain on board the Duivendrecht who used to stick out his enormous chin close to the face of a rebellious sailor while holding his hands dramatically behind his back and inviting his opponent to hit him on the chin as hard as he could.
