I don't even own a rubber duck but I believe the water is crashing over the sides and filling the holds. Not that the boat was overloaded to start with. I hope he made it.
The trouble with sand, is the wetter it gets, the heavier it gets, the heavier it gets the lower the boat sinks, the lower the boat sinks the wetter the sand gets.
Hej! Zou ik deze video kunnen gebruiken voor mijn youtube kanaal? Ik deel alles over de zeevaart. Van vrachtschepen uit 1960 tot nu, olieboor platformen, vissersboten, binnenvaart etc. Natuurlijk geef ik credits naar de eigenaar van dit beeldmateriaal. Ik kijk uit naar je antwoord. Groeten.
Lots of comments say the boat is not overloaded because he has a double bottom. I accept that, but why did he stop out there and why is the tug (apparently) going to assist?
The trouble is not the sand but greedy Local Barge Owners. Load Line restriction Is not a limit for them to load the barge anymore. So You see what happened at high sea when You get 300 metric tones of cargo over Your cargo capacity.Hopefully they got sound and safe
They are designed to sit low and carry heavy loads with little freeboard, but they do have a limit to the weight they can carry before the total mass of the barge and its cargo exceeds the mass of the water it displaces and it sinks, dry sand with no water in the spaces between the grains is far lighter than wet sand with the spaces between the grains full of water, the tug boat is there because he's talking to the barges skipper on the radio who is no doubt pretty worried about the amount of water the waves are putting into his hoppers.
@@josephinebennington7247 Yes I would actually think the barge skipper is significantly more concerned than the tug skipper is, or WAS more concerned, I'm guessing that they are both probably over the whole ordeal by now 😆
Dit is geen spuitzand, hij zit niet vlak vol, en kan dus wel degelijk zinken, en snel ook. Pompen? Wat er met 1 golf in komt, moet hij er met een half uur weer uit pompen. En inderdaad geen geblindeerde ramen. Met mijn ervaring op zowel zee- als binnenvaart en zowel droge-lading als beunschepen weet ik er misschien toch wel iets van. Als de golven iets ongunstiger aankwamen had hij met een paar tellen weg kunnen zijn.
On a river or canal that boat would be fine...it is not an ocean going vessel. You can see the far shore is only 6 or so miles away. Good bilge pumps equals happy river barge!
Over hersenen gesproken, jij bent Nederlander en jij weet niet dat dit soort schepen met hun luchtdichte dubbele romp speciaal hiervoor zijn gemaakt? Man, man, man, ga iets leren over je eigen land.
J'ai eu les larmes mon pere et tous a bord ,nous teaversiobs souvent Zealand pendant les tempêtes ou vent fort ,sauf mon pere avait un sacre cran et de l'expérience. La preuve suis toujours vivante et sans avaries
Looks like the tug operator was a bit concerned. There is no way the coastguard would allow this vessel to sale and if she was, they would turn her back, assuming she is not past the point of now return.
I’m ex British merchant navy and have seen these vessels whilst visiting Hollandshire 😋but never seen one so low in the water when that sea state. Something got the Skipper spooked when he/she cane hard to port and slowed down, the tug that was on the Starboard quarter then got involved by closing in on its stern rather quickly, lots of black smoke from tuggy and guessing it got exciting/scary after that. Can anyone shine a light on the outcome and I’m assuming aslong as everything is clipped and watertight both aft and forward then it’s standard practice to batter on into rough water with zero free board?
Love it ,,,I reckon he knew what he was doing all along takes a certain type of person to take youre home, including youre family car and belongings aswell as the whole family on board .
Bij een west- noord-westen wind, kracht 7 a 8 zit je op de westerschelde bij hoog water aan een sign. golfhoogte van tussen de 2 en 3 meter. Lijk mij dan lastig varen op deze manier.( met golven zijwaarts)
@bill739123. I can garantee you that as long as the stern- and bow-deckhouses are above the water it will not sink. These ships are just like Bless133 says build to these conditions.
@@Heitusz What you cannot see, is that the ship is not completely filled with sand. Below and to the sides of the hold, large closed air tanks run the whole length of the ship, keeping it afloat even when large waves fill the hold completely with water..
+christian hovestadt Thanks for your reply which of course I accept! I'm imagining that there must be a lot of buoyancy within the bow bukhead and engine room. Supposing either end was damaged, I guess the water would come in very fast.....?
+christian hovestadt But was it wise to go into waves up to 9 feet ?? In this footage he's is not in open water with that size waves yet. He is forced to go back for a good reason, I believe
+atmosphere Adr I certainly would not have enough courage to skipper in those conditions! The vessel should nt be called 'Sissy' which is English slang for 'Coward'!!!!
Aye captain, the doors on the submarine were open! They were! And it sank like tonnes of lead! They lost all the peanuts and butter down the briny drink.
Al Morrison are you sure you got the courageous to make statements like that, for no reason, about just somebody from just some other land, operating anonymous ?
You have no you have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about often the decks the EU has some of the strictest strictest regulations in the world these little boats I'm not skippered by dummies like you have in the US
this ship is not overloaded the are built for loading wet sand and have less cubiek meters of cargohold as loading tons there are flaps in de trunk they open when there comes water in the cargohold
Nobody noticed how the tug boat stayed around while the the barged turned around : crossing was dangerous anyway, even more dangerous hen the barged decided to go back and make a 180° turn so the sea was abreast…
Tot er één zeeschip voorbijkomt met haast. En dan zijn de rapen weer gaar. Zeevaart mag wel opletten voor de binnenvaart, maar als je dit ziet, da's er om vragen. (Zie je trouwens te vaak, en dan nog met de MK deur open!)
Even due to the bilge pumps the sand will get heavier and heavier and so on so lets hope he returned soon enough and that the tugger can be his angel by putting him in the shadow..
met droog zand aan de ijk, als hij nog 1 min doorgevaren had was hij gezonken. Beunschepen met grind kunnen ook zinken, dit is hetzelfde. In het ruim is nog lucht, je moet je voorstellen dat die lucht vervangen wordt door water, dat weegt extra terwijl het schip al aan de ijk zit.....moeders had zich geen zorgen meer hoeven maken over potten en pannen als hij doorgevaren was.
@@jpsholland - definitely not an expert in any kind of shipping, but taking on water adds weight and further lowers the profile putting a tremendous strain on the engine(s). The engine and propeller(s) are sized for a maximum amount of weight/drag against defined water currents.
India? Bangladesh? no, Belgium. I guess that on upper deck it's an amphibious car used as lifeboat. I also guess that they had to send a tugboat to intercept the MV Sissy because he didn't obey to orders on radio! Of course the ship is not overloaded in terms of weight, they have double hull that keep them afloat even if water is entering the holds but the sand is not flat and it can be moved by the waves and make the ship capsize. Very poor seamanship and/or irresponsible shipowner.
I used to watch small oilers on the Thames, near the Royal Docks,back in the 1950s. They were running very low with gunwales under, just as this craft. And very low centre of loaded gravity means a very stable vessel in seas such as these, fully supported hull.
@@johnpacetti3550 But with this ship it is no problem because it is designed to have the cargo holds full of water. In Dutch they called it a Beunschip.
What is the advantage of the weird (to me at least) design of that kind of cargo ship? Any Dutch out there who can explain it to a strictly land-based guy?
Nu weet je waarom Rijkswaterstaat al jaren wil dat er een zeker afstand is tussen bovenkant den en het water.Ik vraag me af hoeveel keer het net goed is gegaan. Want dat hoor je niet.
Wel lachen die comments. Ik heb nooit gevaren, maar als lasser dit soort dingen wel gemaakt. Ik denk dat 99% van de comments schrijvers geen idee heeft dat er luchtdichte, dubbele rompen bestaan.
