@@Ali-7676 The Marco does not have a bow wake and thus is probably stationary. Also you will notice that the Marco does not have a stern wake @1:04. Compare that to the Hirmand's stern wake @1:40. And the Marco has her port anchor deployed which could further indicate she was stationary.
@@easystreet1888 they do that to alert all ships in the vicinity to know and for the crew to make alarm to proceed to their distinctive responsibilities in case of that emergency...
This is the VSL Marco and the Harmid. Marco was actually nearly stopped ready to anchor and large ship didn't adjust course as they thought the Marco was continuing through. This was the large ships fault after investigation
All that ocean and they still collide. When I was boating and fishing in the Florida Keys, twice I had the right of way and I had room to give way and I did to avoid a collision in all that open ocean.
It’s amazing how such gigantic ships moving so slowly in such a huge open ocean can manage to crash into each other. Edit: stop honking, we know you’re there
well it is laid out pretty clear who had right of way in this situation.... scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117946056_10159002624040101_4421440445590266287_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=Y2O6pNyFuPMAX87c-M0&_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&oh=fb9ea58572d54b025e82fadb54fc4022&oe=5FE98F41
They look slow but they are at speed for such a large body and soo much energy is involved, even a slight contact results in considerable damage to both of them.
This completely baffles me. I mean how can you miss or not miss a skyscraper laying on its side. These ships are giant. I just can't believe this happens. But it does. LOL.
aye, aye captain. I believe we'll impact tomorrow afternoon. We should sound the horn now to let them know we will impact them. In the mean time, Ill get some sleep.
@@masterenos thati complete nonsense. Under the IRPCS size has nothing to do with how the give way vessel is determined and what action it should take. Also, in this particular situation the vessel it was being filmed from was at anchor, so it was the vessel being filmed that was at fault.
oh daaaaamn, that would be scary. Those ships are huge and could cause quite a bit of damage even though theyre not moving very fast, it seems like anyways. Also seems like all those ships are kinda too close together, huh?
One-half of all ships captains are proudly occupying the bottom of their graduating class, and there is that one (1) person in each and every class. -C
Wow they apparently give out credentials to anyone who buys a box of Captain Crunch. How is this even possible with both ships having watch keepers responsible for alerting the officers and bridge crew who are using state of the art radar etc to avoid this very kind of incident!
With all the modern computer equipment controlling these ships you'd think a collision would be almost impossible. Having said that this seems like an incredibly busy shipping lane. Where is this?
Yeah, I can see how a couple of 600-meter objects being 'guided' at 20mph can hit each other in 2 square miles of empty space... it is definitely possible based on observing this video. Did you see how that guy was recording? Most of the time the camera was aimed and zoomed in at some random part of the other ship and nowhere near where the action was. If you can't even manage to take a video on a phone and you are put into a team to sail a ship....yeah...this can happen!
