ALP Striker | Bollard Pull Testing

[@imustbegettinolder4434]

I'm 75 and this makes me wish I could do it all over again and go to the sea. Simply beautiful.

[@krollpeter]

You seafarers are a very special kind of people with the heart where the sea is. I heard the above several times. Like: It's hard at times but I wish I could go again.

[@NofaKingway]

Tug I used to work on was a steam tug, 17 tonne pull. I massive amount of labour was taken to sustain that pull too! Two boilers & 6 furnaces to stoke, the crew of 15 was seldom idle. During the annual harbour "tug race" we were quite happy to be cruising at 15kts in light swell and nil wind holding a stead 180psi of steam. We were quickly overtaken by the harbours newest tug - going astern no less - at quite a pace. Those modern voith propulsion systems are amazing in the amount of power they deliver and the maneuverability!

[@cageordie]

Still hard to push far above 1.3√L but tugs show it's possible.

[@cjeam9199]

A coal fired steam tug? When was this?

Was involved with a Bollard test years ago. A sudden engine surge ripped the Samson post off the deck an threw it 500m through the air. It was found a week later on another dock.

[@olsim1730]

People who have good taste in music? People who like it when decimal points are used correctly? Many reasons to dislike the video..

[@richrepublican3493]

I love how the X-Bow design performs in classy water just like my row boat.

[@inevitablecraftslab]

that music though LOL

[@polinesia3825]

We've done bollard test on the Port of Jebel Ali during the early 1980's. The vessels are GC 306 , 7 and 8 . They're all powered Cats and Mirless Blackstones. We've done both the pull and side thrusters. By the way GC stands for Gulf Cobla ( costain / blakenvoort ). The company built the Jebel Ali port. Watching your video brings back a lot of good memories in Dubai. The GC vessels are split hopper barges all built in the Netherlands just like I'll make a guess here Alp Striker is . This video is taken some where in South Korea I would also guess. And in Korea I remember one have to leave ones shoes outside the door if you enter one of those very welcoming houses. Good luck guys, Von Voyages.

[@neilanthony8589]

Well in all my years... I never knew how breathtaking a Bollard pull test could be. Now what would be the music score for a anchor brake test?

[@bcherbs]

Where can i buy mine? i think, i also have a coupon somewhere here !

Are they trying to make the wharf longer?

[@stevenross-watt8640]

Good advert/commercial. I'm convinced. I want one.

[@IkeMann100]

I don’t know anything about ships but this is a beauty and a beast!

[@hntrains2]

1. How long did it travel to the bollard? 2. Why did it have to pull the bollard?

[@tmdpc]

Gorgeous vessel

[@VonSutho]

A question, what is the purpose of that bollard they just tested?

[@VonSutho]

@@LungsMcGee Thanks, but what is the actual purpose of a bollard in that location?

[@csmaster65]

I've always wondered about these DP2 vessels that have 2x bow thrusters of small size plus a retractable azimuth thruster in the bow. It gives great station-keeping in normal situations, but in the event of a worst case failure the vessel would be reduced to a single small bow thruster. With 2x 1500kw thrust in the bow it should have great redundancy.

[@bubbamaxx7969]

I love the music. Who is the artist or name of the song please...

[@tommystearns3073]

the original song is where are you now by alan walker

[@maxpower6918]

Why is it trying to tow a harbour out to sea?

[@foodsamaritan4306]

its called bollard pull, for testing towing capacity of the ship.

[@jimmielittle877]

Or because it can?

[@talonbaldwin8931]

What's with the comma placement in the values?

[@ph11p3540]

It's nice that this tug doubles as a fire boat. Just look at those two massive red fire monitors on top of the bridge wings.

[@terrytytula]

Beautiful video, just the right length, would really like to see the interior of the vessel.

[@guyspooner4580]

I’d really like to see the bollard pull test.

[@SaveThePurpleRhino]

How to maintain your ship heading in maximum pull ? When we did this, the ship tend to sway and start listing

[@Fiberglasser03]

Depends on where the hawser is attached on the ship. As you can see in the video, its almost amidships. If it was in the stern it would be much harder to keep the ship straight.

[@gogutzy]

why are people standing on the opposite side of the pull? waiting for a cable to break?

[@stuarthearn9890]

how are two engines coupled to one shaft? I wonder how many know how immense the ships structure has to be, to stop the winches ripping out

[@keithkleinsmith8807]

What a beautifull vessel

[@METALITHrevetments]

Does that vessel have Z-drives or Voith Schneider propulsion?

[@mrcoprea]

Main engines fuel capacity is 2747 MT and aux. generators have 300MT.

[@TheQuest2quest]

Very pretty, but does it have work?

[@zosimoybay2909]

Do they have discounts for seniors.?

Wow if the rope snap she will 0-60 3.5 seconds.

[@bulacomunistu8727]

Yeah,I was thinking...if that rope/cable snaps,I want to be 10 km away from it.

[@graememckay9972]

Not like the 2 blokes standing beside the bollard at 3' 16"

[@GordonWrigley]

When I saw that my first thought was there is no way you'd get me to stand anywhere near that bollard.

[@teguhsugik937]

I saw this tug was on Bintan waterfront 3 may 2023

[@sverreskarpengland6736]

Why would they do this operation? I don’t understand because the doch is not going to move.

[@zvonkozunic]

Now that's a cool boat. I could get all 42 members of the fishing club on that thing.👍

[@brianwest2775]

3:16 People standing in line with the line during the test?!

[@poysunivey]

I saw that too. Absolutely insane to do such a thing.

[@andrewm753]

I saw it as well. I was scared for them... Assume they moved well back before she really throttled-up, otherwise that's wildly crazy.

[@nilsverbeeck732]

2:23 already damaged?

[@richp5321]

Thats what I thought, but if you look right before, the front view of the ship, there is a hole in the bow. Looks like for a mooring line or something

[@ussjohnston1]

what is the deal with the bow

[@danielrose1392]

It's an inverted bow, more specific a x-bow. Traditionally ship designers tried to stay on top of waves. inverted bows dive through waves, trying to keep the ship at a constant level. This obviously requires much better protection against waves at the front, but also offers much better speeds and comport.

[@ussjohnston1]

Daniel Rose huh interesting

[@ThiagoHenrique-it1jt]

I need help to solve a problem, I have to find a way to calculate the maximum bollard load that I use here at the shipyard. Does anyone have any ideas?

[@boostedz71rc82]

I know nothing about ships, this was in my suggested, I have no idea what’s going on... video says it’s a tug but it appears to be flooring it while attached to a land anchor???? I do not understand why there is a land anchor or why this beautiful ship is giving it a tuggy tug....

[@michaelcaplin8969]

It's a bollard pull test, it's a test to measure how strong the towing capacity of a ship is. This ship pulls the anchor point with a force of more than 300 tonns.

[@leofender5033]

How come bollard pull is measured in Tonnes not Mega Newtons (MN) Or Tonnes-Force? (T-f)
