Container ship departs Melbourne 

Thanks for the comments. The question about yawing in the open water part of the transit is interesting. Normally auto pilot is engaged for those 23 miles but the crew are either not familiar enough with the auto pilot settings or are too disinterested or fatigued to set the unit up for calm conditions. This seems to be worse with the adaptive auto pilot units. Can be a problem with opposing traffic of course and seems to be a waste of fuel in these conditions. Protests from the pilot are often met with blank stares and the only remedy is to stay in hand steering if someone can be found who can actually steer the thing at high speed! Cannot name the ship but she is a standard 260 by 32.2 metre vessel and many companies have them in their fleets. In fact, a sister ship is alongside at No 3 West before departure.

Wonderful footage yet again! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.

Do some of those small boats, yachts, literally play 'chicken' with those ships? Great video.

I work as a Captain on a ferry boat that you see going past and this is the first time I have seen what you see from the wheel house

Impressive video. Subscribed

What a great video! It was really interesting to see Port Phillip Bay from a ship. Thanks for making and posting this video.

Great video. You should do more, I would like to see you do one coming into Melbourne, into West Swanston Dock with the right swing and reverse park.

Its year 2017 now we developed alot GOD BLESS AUS AND MELBOURNE.

this place looks like an airport runway at night. current is strong at the entrance but i love this place

This is great, an excellent time lapse, and very interesting. Can you tell me which ship you were on? I am curious as to why the ship was yawing let and right all the way across the bay? Thanks for sharing!

@8:45 just count wait lol

Hi I'm wondering if I could use this footage as part of a video I'm creating for non-commercial use? Cheers

Jaj! Qué bueno si todo fuera tan veloz como sale en el vídeo!!!! En realidad, toda la actividad portuaria es leeeeeeeeentaaaaaaaaaaa, y hay que tener una santa pacieeenciaaaaaaaa... :-)

There is a massive color change in water around 10:00 .

Im interested to work on this Port.

So there are no channel makers in the middle of the bay ?

that was fun, thank you.

Wish there was sound
