I so enjoy these salvage videos! Absolutely fascinating, to see "how its done". No, this is the first time I've seen the 'stutter' .. unsure what's causing this...? I still watched. :)
I love Australië I love your people I love your languish I like your landscapes Your seas But I can't help it I'm so proud of "our" dutch company's that are active to salvage over the world
I ave seen ore carrying railway cars at Marquette, Michigan on Lake Superior...these are 100 tons so at Marquette, they are 50 tons and the ore is taken out onto pocket docks from which ships are loaded. Thanks for this fine video which allowed me to gain some view of iron ore mining in Australia :)
To clearify the meaning of "Bollard Pull" It is measured as follows. A tug is fastened with its towing line to a sturdy point ashore. In between the shore and the towing line a sort of scale is placed and when the tug starts pulling at full throttle it measures how much tons the tug can pull with its engines at its highest power. For example: try how many kilo's tou can pull using a scale at the gym.
Thank you, I was wondering how they measured that. I imagined a fancy measuring bollard but it makes way more sense to measure the pull off the line lol. You know since tractor pulling is a thing they should do tug pulling. How cool would it be to see the world's largest tugs trying to drag like a massive anchor a certain distance? Yeah probably too expensive and a waste of a valuable tug but man would that be cool.
All these videos from Svirzer stutter. Does any body else see this? It's like a buffer, but only on these videos do I see it.....kind of annoying. Had a thought...Australia is an island, albeit a big island, and they're digging it up and selling it off one ship at a time. 🤣
Does the term Bollard Pull refer to the tugs traction in the water??? i was surprised that the big tug only has 150 ton pull, yet they can pull a 220,000 ship
For future reference please note that the port is pronounced "Damp_ier", not "Dam_pier". It was named for the 16th century English buccaneer who was the first to navigate and record these waters.
I'm fairly sure the video wouldn't have stuttered like that originally, someone has messed up when converting the video to a lower resolution for the internet.
Anyone ever notice that women are always complaining because men in general get paid more than women. But you never see women doing incredibly dangerous and difficult jobs like this... point out ONE woman who's doing anything dangerous here or in any of these videos? in ANY dangerous job period actually... just one!
all very well, but why do you have to be a naval architect to determine that if you take something away, it gets lighter? old boys keeping other old boys in their jobs I suppose...
Yeah, because that's all they needed to know...ever consider that calculating the correct amount and location of cargo to remove has structural, stability, cost, and logistics implications? I'm sure the naval architects just walked up and said "yep, due to my architect training I can tell you that removing weight will make it lighter...here's my bill". /sarcasm
They know exactly how much to remove and where from. If you over simplify it then it sounds easy, when you have no room for error and big stakes at play you use the big boys to figure it out
