It's more down to; a course is planned, set, and published. One of these guys wasn't meant to be there, at that time, one was early, or one was late, and the usual thought process is, I'm on my charted course, I have the right of way. Sometimes one ship captain or first officer thinks they'll pass ahead of them, and just like many motorbike accidents at junctions, they think incorrectly, don't pass ahead, or panic order hard astern, and end up dead in the water in-front of another ship.
Both will pretend to have the right of way. Both have a boss who won't tolerate any delay, and so they feel the pressure (especially the one who's late, provided they aren't both late). Both might have a huge ego... especially aboard the biggest ship.... Etc... humans .... !
I took a correspondence course once, and collaborated with Rosie O'Donnell on her 9-11 investigation. I can't even count how many episodes of The Love Boat I have seen. Ergo, I am the most qualified to analyze this incident. It was definitely those white depth charges that caused the damage. Subsequent allision was a poor attempt at a cover-up.
@@andysams6690 Very good, Coconut! While you have a remarkable grasp of the obvious, "I'm pretty sure" you lack the savvy and life experience to detect sarcastic hyperbole and historical context. My use of the word "allision" should have been your first clue, Star Fleet. You must be a Vulcan, if you take everything literally.
Low-paid, unqualified crews, handling supertankers in congested waterways. Like giving the keys to your big rig truck to the neighbor's 12 year old boy, only worse.
OK, so we can only assume the collision, since the video starts afterward. But, if this ship has thrusters, why did it sail alongside the Marco for several hundred yards before using them? The collision could have been prevented as well!
I believe that most if not all modern container ships have bow thrusters that could have been employed to avoid any collision🤷♂️🤔that said, as far as I’m aware the bow thruster has to be operated as it’s not automatic
I’ve read loads of reports on this very subject and the same thing’s pops up again and again and again🤷♂️🤔insufficient training for crew was the main cause BUT by far the saddest cause was, too many crew members who were drinking alcohol while they were on duty and at the helm in most of the collisions. One well known undercover tv company went on board a similar container to this one MT Hirmand and when the video went viral the whole crew were sacked on the spot Mmmmmmmmm it cost the container company millions in lost revenue
Yes you can, but a ship this size is not an airplane that react straight away at any input from the rudders. This half million ton ships need time, and lots of it. Many tens of miles i talking about. So yes, they see it coming and yeas they try to steer away from it, and then, hope for the best is all you can do.. I thought you would know that being a dutchman.
Yes but these aern't half million ton ships. I thought you'd know that being a dutchperson. The bigger one is 317k vs 81k DWT, well short of 500k DWT that a good seafaring dutchperson should such know. They take tens of miles many to stop or turn, NOT.
Hmmmm blijkbaar moeten we dat als Nederlanders allemaal weten volgens die andere man uit Nederland. Frons.... *denkt diep na* ;"Nee, ik weet dat niet" "jij?" Toooooooooooooooet
K.W. Mark if the Marco was at anchor she must maintain a bridge watch at all time..... N when collision was deemed to exist she should have used all available means to attract the attention of the tanker........ And called the Master who should has called anchor Station n got the engine ready...... Anchor Station should had got ready to slip the anchor...... Refer court ruling of M.T Hebei Spirit
Das ganze Meer! Und dann haben zwei Genies nicht den Platz um an einander vorbei zu fahren? Was machen die beiden Trolle auf einer Strasse mit ihren Autos?
It is To alert the crew to get to muster stations as its life or death critical until they can get the vessel out of danger, check their damage, then prioritize damage control and stabilize the vessel or if not possible slow the leak as much as possible to keep it afloat as long as possible to better prepare for abandoning the ship later or give time for repairs to be made. There are lots of places on the ship it can be hard to hear anything, and it gives a sense of urgency to any crew that might assume its a drill or something otherwise. Its also a general maritime signal for distress as perhaps he doesnt know if anyones in the wheelhouse and might be trying 5mto summon someone to the radioNm, it happens all the time offshore that vessels will be unmanned at the wheel for extended periods of time while watch is distracted or grabbing a bite or using the head of the at fault vessel..too short a clip to tell
@@norml.hugh-mann sorry my friend but it is practically impossible to direct an emergency, focus on what you have to do and try to talk and hear others via radio or phone with a constant blast in your hear, 30 secs of PA.GA is enough to wake up every muppet onboard, the rest is simply nonsense
I do hope that the individual that was at the helm of crash one two and three wasn’t the same person🤷♂️🤔otherwise heads should roll as to why plus I’d like to see a report on the cost of the repairs on each collision and the insurance costs to the company afterwards
These ship collisions should be all but impossible. Each ocean going ship has millions in navigation equipment to avoid just such collisions. Next to the vastness of the sky's, the vastness of the worlds oceans defies mans comprehension. There are vast millions of square miles of Oceania. Ghost ships are found almost every year drifting, crew less having not been seen for a decade. Speed can't be the problem as these huge ships move along at very modest speeds and slow considerably when near one another. There must be a renegade human intervention on the bridge of these ships that ignores the warning signals issued by their million dollar navigation equipment including the ship to ship comm. systems, even the coast guard doesn't seem to get involved until a collision has occurred. What the HELL!
Look PAL! I've been a RU-vid Captain since before you were born! And i know someone, who knows someone that knows something about boats, so I know what I'm talking about! It's definitely somebody's fault that's on this footage!
well iranian ships, lol.. ya.. and don't you have to try to hit a ship that big thats anchored up.. or is the captain got the diaper on to tight around his head.
