Hello. I have an unbelievable 14,700 subscribers and a colossal 7.4 million views. I thank you all for watching my videos.
I am based in the Harwich Haven, filming the shipping that keeps the U K's economy rolling. We import a high percentage of products from the Far East, the continent and the Americas. Not forgetting the products the UK make and export around the world.
Since 2006 the capacity of container ships have more than doubled from an average of 10,000teu to over 24,000teu. It is rumored that there are blueprints for a 27,000teu vessel on the way.
The past 2 years hasn't been easy for the container market with the world pandemic of Covid-19. 2021 has seen a strong bounce back with the average around the $20k mark to ship a 20ft container from China to Europe and fuel prices at its highest for years.
I also film at special charity events which are close to my heart.

@@deanocable The boat's come from Rotterdam, not very far away yet the energy used to do it will be large. For what, to off and on load some containers? Then onto Hamburg. The technology for handling the containers must be really efficient to make it cost worthy.
I was travelling from Norwich to Wroxham yesterday morning (6th Sept), went past carriage wash at Crown Point at about 10:45 and caught a quick glimpse of 47848 TnT with black steamer, couldn't get number but I think the last 2 digits were 71. Got back to Norwich about 2:40, the coaching stock, was still in the sidings but no sign of the locos. Any ideas? EDIT I posted the question before I'd watched the whole video, I assume the coaching stock was the Northern Belle.
@suffolkpompey I'm afraid I can't help you with that one. I only knew the Northern Belle was coming through with either vintage diesels or a steam locomotive. If you are on Facebook, there is a group called "Anglia Gen" join that and someone will be able to answer that.
Nice vid from stowmarket.ive been in suffolk 42yrs and still never been.Didnt even know northern belle was around until i read about it half a hour ago 🤔
@UKShipspottingRailFreightTV I kinda missed it coming down to Ipswich as it left Norwich 8 minutes late but somehow was 3 minutes early going through Stowmarket. It's been on plastered everywhere for the past month or so and how you could spend £280 per person or upgrade for another 195 for vintage champagne and a gift bag.
Omggg I was in truck 32 and all them band people are my friends from seacodets love to see them showing support to people with disabilities love them lots ❤❤
Brilliant. Thank you for posting.Worked for WEC and Sealand on the Languard in the 70 and 80's very special to me watching these leviathan vessels coming alongside
For those who do not work in this field of activity, everything looks beautiful from the outside. Accommodation forward, difficult and challenging living and working conditions for crew, especially for engine department crew. UMS system for engine department. Accommodation forward engine room, ECR aft ??!!! Duty engineer and duty oiler will run from accommodation - forward to ECR - enginee room - aft to deal with the alarms during UMS???!!! How it will the UMS service be done? How many engineers and engine ratings are in the crew on board. Methanol is liquid at atmospheric temperatures and pressures and hence bunkering is almost similar to conventional fuel oils, although the low-flashpoint and toxic properties require additional equipment and operational procedures. One of the major disadvantage of methanol is its lower energy content per volume. Methanol requires fuel tanks approximately 2.5 times the size of HFO tanks for the same energy content, or 1.3 times larger than equivalent LNG tanks. This has consequences for the spatial arrangements on board and the trading range of methanol-powered vessels. As a result, its applicability is mainly for smaller ships, feeder container vessels, at least initially. Methanol is a low-flashpoint flammable liquid and should take additional precautions to prevent ignition due to electrical arcing. Methanol bunkering is a classic chemical tank cargo operation procedure, considering that methanol is a Dangerous Chemicals, it involves a much more complicated procedure than the conventional fuel, Inerting, Purging, etc. All these procedures involve adjacent installations, plus their operation and maintenance, installations that were usually found only on chemical tankers. In fact the container vessel powered by methanol becomes also small chemical tank ship. On board the chemical tankers, directly in charge of cargo operation ( safe loading, discharging and stowage of cargo) is an experienced Chief Mate. That's all he does on board, not maneuvers, not watch duty. On these container ships powered by methanol, the methanol bunkering operation is done by the engine department. Anyway, classic fuel remains to be bunkered, because methanol cannot be used alone as a fuel for two-stroke naval engines. Most current 2 strokes naval engines methanol requires a pilot fuel for efficient burning, so conventional fuel must be carried on board as well, doubling as fall-back fuel too.
I have seen them when I was in Darwin in 2018. Darwin is a great and very interesting city, especially its WWII and cyclone history. I love the marina area inside the locks
@@deanocable I go often to Darwin and I always see the two Svitzer tugs Svitzer Palmerston and Svitzer Darwin tied up at Stokes Hill Wharf if they are not busy . It was the first time I’ve seen a tug up close because Stokes Hill wharf is open to the public with a lot of restaurants to spend the the day or evening . You can Google Stokes hill wharf Darwin and see what a great place to spend an evening . Cheers from Melbourne .
