Svitzer has provided safety and support at sea since 1833. With more than 4,000 employees, a fleet of more than 400 vessels and operations worldwide, we are the global market leader in towage and marine related services.
This concept has been around for years, with the RAVE and CRT tugs with Voith propellers VSP. Also with the disastrous EDDY Tug with Azi's. This is proof that Svitzer really does not like Voith and will never have another VSP tug in there fleets. The guys in HDH have no idea...
I single-handedly refloated my 5 tonne boat from well above the high tide line on a beach. I used a small bottle Jack, some scrap wood, a length of metal pipe and 5 x 6 ft x 3 inch PVC pipes. The kicker for me and the success of the operation was ‘how to go about it ‘ instructions from an 80 YO gentleman passerby that I met a few days before.
That beach full of wood, reminds me of the summer I worked as a junior ranger on Lake Superior. Mile and a half long beach, jammed full of pulp logs from two broken booms that spring. Gotta say, I had muscles on my muscles after humping the logs to the road, then stacking them and finally cutting them up for firewood. It was a pretty place after we got done clearing it all.
Better the tow should part at the tug end, the cable just hits the casualty bow. I was fascinated by marine salvage when I was a kid, I think that I'd have gotten into that... But I was pulled in a different direction, being an aviation nut, and learning to fly when I was 17..
We love your recovery videos.Enjoy watching real professionals doing incredible work like your teams.Please continue making these videos. We can show them to the younger generations to see what real men are capable of now a days! Thank You
I love, this movie, the was very hard work, but the rescues did not give up, & saved the unfortunate bulk carrier, which i was extremely happy about! The "Elwood Mead", turned out to be surprisingly very durable💪🇯🇵
