Los capitanes de la Transmediterránea son excelentes y conocen al dedillo esos puertos. Recuerdo que cuando los de Boeing entrenaron a los pilotos canarios del Jet Foil entre Tenerife y Gran Canaria quedaron asombrados de su destreza y rapidez de aprendizaje. Eso me lo dijeron en el hotel los ingenieros de Boeing que se alojaban en el Reina Isabel de Las Palmas
¿Boeing entrenando pilotos del Jet Foil? ¿Pero Boing también fabrica barcos? Y si el Jet Foil es un barco ¿Qué "pilotos" entrenaban? ¿No serían "capitanes"? Disculpa mi ignorancia...
Y al oficial de puente de cualquier barco de pasaje o de carga se le llama piloto, que puede ser de segunda o de primera clase según la Administración Marítima. Con la era de la aviación, los pilotos heredaron los galones y la terminología de los pilotos de antaño, cuando las mercancías se llevaban en las naves a través de los océanos a golpe de vela y sextante
Mi padre (melillense que en 1953 con 17 años se fue a estudiar y vivir a Granada) siempre contaba que con levante fuerte, el barco Malaga-Melilla podía llegar hasta el mismo puerto y si el temporal era MUY heavy, el capitan pasaba de dar esa curva que se observa para entrar en la dársena y, o bien se refugiaban unas horas tras el cabo Tres Forcas o daba orden de volver para Málaga... Estando el barco delante del puerto de Melilla...!!
Doy fe... nos ha pasado también a nosotros. Hemos llegado a esperar en algún viaje 11 horas (contando las siete horas y media de travesía, claro)......
It’s not the Captain but the “Harbor-Pilot.” Do look them up. Even on here, there are videos of them at work. They go out to the vessel and then up to the bridge and the captain relinquishes command, over to the Harbor-Pilot, because they know the channel far more & far better than a captain does. Your garden-variety Captain may go in and out of a harbor 1 to 5 times in 5 years. And many many Maritime Capt well go in and out of a “foreign-harbor”, 3-times in his lifetime =25 year career. The approach to a harbor from the “sea-buoy”, is normally 1 to 3 nautical miles from the entrance to the harbor-jetties=mouth of the harbor like you see here. And many harbors do not have rock jetties on the port/starboard side. They are open mouth harbors. Which makes traversing in & out of a harbor, Even far far more, difficult. If not down right Impossible. And especially with such entrances to the Harbor such as this one. Because the suction that these jetties cause is so damn powerful. Ergo, only a man that goes in and out of a harbor on a daily, and or weekly basis will know we’re all these “Under-Water”, “Impediments-To-Navigation”, Are located. By mental recall. Sure sonar helps. But nothing made by man takes the place of his mind. I will close with this. Airline-Pilots make a good income. But not near enough as far as I’m concerned. When you take into consideration all the people they have on board that they are responsible for, and you are putting your life in their hands. Depending upon the airline, a senior captain will make between $150-$200,000 a year. Would it surprise you if I told you that “Harbor-Pilots” make more?? BY FAR. Unless you are in a 3rd-world-shit-hole, they do. Once again, EASILY-BY-FAR. and I don’t care what Google says. Google deliberately lowers the pay for all blue-collar positions. ALL. It says for example oil field roustabouts make $15 to $20 dollars an hour. Horse-shit. Depending upon the company they make anywhere’s from $30 an hour to $40 an hour. Before time and a half kicks in. I’ve also read on Google that Frack employees make $20 to $25 an hour. Once again, Bull-Shit. Depending upon the company they make $35-$45 an hour. How do I know all this? You can read my bona fides at the start of this video because my comment is the very first one. Concerning the Oil&Gas Industry, I have 5 relatives, count-em 5 relatives that work in the Oil&Gas Industry. All there working-lives. And all five work in the upstream part of the industry. 3 will be retiring between 3 months and 17 months from this soon to be, month of May.
Oh my I came with this trasmediterranea from almeria to morocco And the sea was like that or more all people got sick inside ! I'll never forget that trip
He steers his ship straight to its berth, what he has probably done a thousand times before. Thats the job of a captain, and if he cannot do that, he should not be a captain.
JCarlos Garranzo Garcia ... el capitan dejo que la misma corriente ayudara a la maniobra ... meneada pero bajo control ... buen capitan .... zero histerias ... zero panico ... buen capitan ... 😊😊
En efecto! aunque también hay un barco pequeño que tiene neumáticos en los alrededores (antes se llamaba "El Puntatorre") que ayuda al buque empujándolo.
My :BONAFIDES: I graduated from KINGS POINT. Our only, “FEDERAL MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY.” It’s a 4 year academy. Pattered alongside the U.S. Naval Academy. After KP=Kings Point, I served 20 years, (class of 78:) I served 20 years with MSC=Military SeaLift Command. Retired as a Relief Captain. Then I went into the Oil&Gas Industry starting out in mid management, worked my way up to upper management. Now, I’m the VP At-Large over our HSSE Dept. The, acronym stands for, Health, Safety, Security, & Environment. Retiring from it in 14 months, 19 days.
I thought i heard they are supposed to turn ships into the wind. That would imply turning a ship sideways to the wind is dangerous. Oh well I'm not a sea captain.
You are correct.when you are in open sea..and encounter high winds you do that.Get your ship position bow into the wind. Drop Anchor.Full speed and pray your engines or azipods do not burn out. But you cannot do that docking.
In the open sea, that is recommended. At port, you turn the ship so that you make your way to your mooring slot, which can sometimes be challenging because of the wind.
Ese capitan tiene unos huevos del tamaño de pelotas de playa y extremadamente peludos!!! Cuando quiera le hago una carne asada en su honor y que se traiga a todos los del puente!!!!
Ese barco vino de Motril, yo estube en el, cuando salimos del puerto de Motril hacia muy buen tiempo pero a la hora o 2h la cosa se puso igual q en video 😵 casi muero al intentar cojer mi móvil del suelo
No hay problema, los buques tipo Canguro soportan mayor inclinación. Si hubiese riesgo cierto, el propio sobrecargo habría mandado dar la vuelta o quedarse unas horas en una zona segura antes de seguir con su itinerario. Ese buque debió tener la piscina apta para darse un buen chapuzón, jejejejejeje... no recuerdo pocas veces viendo desde el camarote cómo el agua del mar entraba, y a los pocos segundos toda ella iba a la cubierta por el cimbreo del mismo buque......
The engineer on duty is sitting comfortably in the control/monitoring room and does his job. Not cut off at all, efficient communication systems to whoever he wants to talk to. Ships do roll/heel when there are waves. The engineer knows that and is well accustomed to it.
Que ignorancia, ese barco fue fletado en los años 2000 y en principio hacia la travesía Valencia Palma de Mallorca, yo embarque con un camión en sus primeros viajes y es un gran barco
Nothing is going on. Ships do roll/heel when there are waves and when he, during the starboard turn, has the side of the ship towards the ocean swell for a short while, there will be some "rolling". Nothing dangerous here.
Just shows to go ya! Mother Nature is in control and no matter how the engineers design schtuff, there is gonna be failures! I wonder how the Captain dealt with that situation? Did he know how to maneuver the boat through that breakwater, or did he get lucky?
They enter these basins so hot and I always wonder why. Showing off or behind schedule? In heavy weather with a following sea I can understand wanting more speed for maneuverability, but you see them coming in fast in calm weather, too. Weird.
