It's crazy that risk with the little boat took, but the big vessel was not yet allowed to go under the bridge, because the light sign was still on red/green and the captain of the big ship had to wait and go when the single green light was showed.... so in collision the captain of the big ship had a real problem because he did not wait long enough...
In the Netherlands we call it a ‘beunschip’. I guess the English term is ‘well barge’. It’s mainly used for transporting sand and sand-like commodities. The sand is normally loaded by pumping it aboard with huge amounts of water. The water is pumped out of the ship afterwards. But if the sand comes from the seabed, fresh water is being used for flushing the salt out. This to make the sand more suitable for further use. I suppose this ship is flushing its cargo whilst underway.
Its interesting how the two boats following the barge were affected by the barges prop wash, small shallow draught boats have little directional stability when travelling slowly, something a lot of people don't realize, small boat operators especially!.
Erm... I think especially small boat owners know the effect of prop wash. I never enter or leave a lock closely behind a barge. It is easier and safer to wait until the propwash has dissipated. Even small barges are wary of much bigger barges.
I remember one day just sitting in the morning sun, so relaxed I felt like just sitting there when the evening comes. I was simply watching the ships roll in, then I watch them roll away again. Yep, just sitting on a dock at the bay....... Watching the tide roll away. It then occurred to me......ooh, I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time. So I left.
I wasn’t prepared for this. At first I thought it was the cyclists risking their lives on the bridge after the barriers had started coming down. Then I thought a train would go across the bridge and get stuck when the roadway raised. But no, the appearance of Johnny Fuckwit caught me completely off guard. Good video. That big boat has a leak btw.
I saw one guy driving his buddies in dad's boat and doesn't give a rip about anything that happens to it. And I saw several that shouldn't be drinking and driving. Especially the dude that almost couldn't shoot the gap.
I had to translate and Google it first, but then I saw it, he nearly drove into something on the left side, but he put it in again in the last second 😂
They think millions are using it in their search terms, and that's going to make them a fortune. Even the daredevil who squeezed between the ship and pier wasn't that much of an idiot. Mostly this made me want even more to move to the Netherlands. Thumbs down.
I gather dangerous chemical boats do not move through such waterways. Those nearby communities would be royally up the creek is such a boat had an accident. Imagine a chemical boat losing 200 tons of xyline, benzene or chlorine
transport like that happens all the time in the netherlands, its just a nightmare waiting to happen. luckly we have a reasonably well trained volunteer fireservice 😉.
@@highkicker11 And professional firefighting crews that man some stations 24/7. Not all fire stations are voluntary. I think the thing you forgot is saying that we typically tend to follow rules involving safety, which is why incredibly dangerous accidents are rare, and if they do happen, we tend to be able to at least fight them reasonably well.
That barge is a dredger and it is carrying sediment. The reason why they flush water over the sediment to flush the less-dense particles overboard. Eventually, only the heavier sediment remains. This way the ship eventually can take more payload. The repeat this process until the ship reaches the maximum capacity. One of the reasons why they want to remove less-dense particles is because less-dense particles can make the barge unstable in heavier seas, as the load behaves more like a liquid than a solid and could shift.
@@BeertjeRulez Thank you, I understand what they were doing now. Did you notice that the second bridge carrying the tram or railway vehicles didn't open to allow the barge to pass even though it didn't seem to be any higher?
@@TuckawayThis is the viewpoint of that clip (facing North). The railway bridge behind it has a vertical clearance of 6 meters. That's sufficient for the barge. maps.app.goo.gl/ontBDwGg6bjD2B8R6?g_st=ac
@@Tuckaway i tried posting a Google Maps link here, but my comment got deleted. Find 'Willemsbrug' in Amsterdam. That's the one the barge passes under. You can see the railway bridge north of it. That bridge has a vertical clearance of 6mtrs, which is enough for the barge.
@@andreschuurman773 What was the problem. He nudged against the piling a bit. that's all. He had plenty of room and plenty of time. Crikey some people are frightened of their own shaddow.
@@gordonstevens6050 Yep keep that attitude, sooner or later you will find out what a dophin, a 500 ton barge, and the current created by that barge can do to a 5 ton pleasure yacht.
Is that the bridge near the Resistance Museum? I was there last year. Amsterdam, beautiful city. I have visited many times, just love thr city and people. A visitor from England..
What was the big boat doing was it dredging as it went along? Very beautiful I hope to get there someday. Just as a side question are there any fish in the canal
@Current Batches I was thinking maybe some kind of filtering process to remove suspended particles from the water, but I have no knowledge to base that on.
It’s a ‘beunschip’ or well barge, used for transporting sand. The sand is loaded by flushing it aboard and pumping water out afterwards. However, if the sand comes from the seabed, fresh water is used to flush out the salt and make the sand better usable. I think this ship is flushing its cargo whilst underway.
The English word world comes from the Old English weorold (-uld), weorld, worold (-uld, -eld), a compound of wer "man" and eld "age," which thus means roughly "Age of Man."[2] The Old English is a reflex of the Common Germanic *wira-alđiz, also reflected in Old Saxon werold, Old Dutch werilt, Old High German weralt, Old Frisian warld and Old Norse verǫld (whence the Icelandic veröld). The corresponding word in Latin is mundus, literally "clean, elegant", itself a loan translation of Greek cosmos "orderly arrangement". While the Germanic word thus reflects a mythological notion of a "domain of Man" (compare Midgard), presumably as opposed to the divine sphere on the one hand and the chthonic sphere of the underworld on the other, the Greco-Latin term expresses a notion of creation as an act of establishing order out of chaos.[4]
This idiot probably cuts trucks off on the motorway to get the exit at the last moment as well. No patience and risking life to gain 20 seconds, and being on a leisure trip he even doesn't need to be in a hurry, no angry boss or customer waiting for him.
Beroepsvaart heeft nagenoeg altijd voorrang. De schipper van de beroepsvaarder heeft ook slecht zicht gezien zijn lengte dus daar dien je rekening mee te houden. Verder is het manoeuvreren met zo’n groot schip in de Amsterdamse grachten haast niet te doen, vandaar dat de schipper zijn schip rustig laat uitlopen. Als je dan, zoals deze mensen, je plastic bootje er nog net ff tussendoor douwt kun je niet varen en heb je kennelijk een doodswens. En dan zie je dat hij een dukdalf raakt en daardoor zijn helmstok ook nog eens losschiet zodat hij bijna onbestuurbaar wordt, vlak voor zo’n groot schip! Deze booteigenaar heeft kennelijk héél weinig inzicht in zijn eigen kunnen en kennen !
De brug opening is zo getimed, dat het grote schip gewoon door kan varen. Het groene licht kan pas aan, wanneer de brug 100% open is. In de praktijk zal geen enkele schipper achteruit slaan om onnodig daarop te wachten. Misverstand is onmogelijk, omdat er al ruime tijd een rood/groen licht brandde. Helaas weten al die dronken plezier vaarders nauwelijks wat ze doen.
@@robertomorsink2014 Er is nog steeds een brugwachter hoor, alleen kijkt die via camera's (en ik meen ook microfoons, in sommige gevallen, vanwege de ongevallen op grote bruggen waar mensen ernstig gewond raakten) vanaf een centrale/andere locatie van een brug mee hoe de verkeerssituatie er uitziet. Daarom zie je tegenwoordig bij op-afstand bediende bruggen ook steeds vaker dat het sluiten van alle bomen zo ontiegelijk veel tijd kost: elke mogelijkheid om te ontsnappen van een te openen brugdek wordt secondenlang opengelaten, soms zelfs als dat eigenlijk niet nodig is. Toen deze brug nog op locatie werd bediend (en de brug tenminste DUIDELIJKE bellen had, want dat ge-eikel met die piepjes zal ik wel nooit begrijpen) sloten de bomen een beetje als op een spoorwegovergang waarbij de tegenovergestelde rijrichting opengelaten wordt aan de zijde waar het verkeer volgens de regels niet rijdt. Voetgangersboom rechts, en voetgangersboom linkstegenover sloten, net als die voor het wegverkeer. Als die bomen dicht waren en het brugdek was duidelijk visueel leeg, dan sloot de rest onmiddellijk, zonder vertraging. (Ik weet het niet zeker, maar misschien dat de brugwachter hoogstens een boom kan tegenhouden tijdens het dalen, maar dat de volgorde en snelheid tussen het dalen van elke boom zo ongeveer vast staat als er verder niet wordt ingegrepen).
Schiphol, Haarlem, Leiden, Alkmaar or Hoorn or Enkhuizen. Difficult to tell from this angle, but also because that side of Central Station has a big switch yard for trains and regular passenger trains going left can head to all of the aforementioned directions, and almost all of them see around 2-3 trains in that direction each hour, so it's a busy spot.
Niet alleen jongeren. Zeker ook gasten van dik in de middelbaretleeftijd zijn af en toe ook niet goed bij hun harses. Die halen ook deze capriolen uit.
@@frikandeldaar4603 Thank you very much, I had that same question while watching the video. My only guess that made sense was some sort of dredging operation. I'm sure canal maintenance is of importance to the Netherlands, it would certainly be an insult to jeopardize that mission by coming that close to calamity. Some idiots think they are more important than anything or anyone, which results in their ultimate downfall.😞
Wow... net voor de boeg varen, waar de binnenschipper je niet eens kan zien. Dan tegen de dukdalf aan, helmstok die loskomt... had kunnen eindigen met een geplet jachtje.
Verbaasde mij eigenlijk om de schipper van het binnenvaartschip niet te horen toeteren, hij moet ze immers op enig moment wel langszij gezien hebben aan het begin. Die aanvaring met de dukdalf was voor zo'n klein bootje ook een behoorlijke tik, dat ging absoluut niet zachtjes.
Wat een prachtige brug 🇾🇪 Verbaasd u niet, verwonderd u slechts Ik zou iedere zgn schipper die gevaarlijk vaargedrag vertoond, naar de kant halen Blaastest, en op de bon voor het in gevaar brengen van andere mensen Ik kan me zo enorm goed verplaatsen in professionele vaart die dit soort kleutertjes op het water tegen komt De goede daargelaten
