That little boat would've been absolutely crushed by the ship if it got in between

[@huppekeessie]

It's crazy that risk with the little boat took, but the big vessel was not yet allowed to go under the bridge, because the light sign was still on red/green and the captain of the big ship had to wait and go when the single green light was showed.... so in collision the captain of the big ship had a real problem because he did not wait long enough...

Its interesting how the two boats following the barge were affected by the barges prop wash, small shallow draught boats have little directional stability when travelling slowly, something a lot of people don't realize, small boat operators especially!.

[@janentomenkafka]

Erm... I think especially small boat owners know the effect of prop wash. I never enter or leave a lock closely behind a barge. It is easier and safer to wait until the propwash has dissipated. Even small barges are wary of much bigger barges.

He did all what is forbidden in the book... Not giving a big boat the first right of way... Not giving a big boat the first right of way in a small pasage... Overtaking on starboard side without permission... Moving just in front of a big ship, so the skipper of that big boat has no lign of sight on him. Bringing passengers, ship and himself in danger, by all acts called before and this last one. Further... That bridge should have a yellow diamond i'ff ships may pass under it from both directions at the same time.

[@Dutch3DMaster]

Until he would've hit the barrier in such a way it would've turned his ship so much that he would not have been going straight through anymore and it would've deflected him straight into the path of the barge and would've been crushed. Don't pass big boats on the right (rules of the road basically apply to a degree to stuff on water) and especially not if you are risking of getting stuck between a big boat and a barrier (I have no clue what those things should be called in English, in Dutch they are called a dukdalf) and the size difference is this big (it's like a motorcyclist trying to have a road-rage argument with a truck, it is equally stupid in most situations).

[@timstrikers]

It’s a ‘beunschip’ or well barge, used for transporting sand. The sand is loaded by flushing it aboard and pumping water out afterwards. However, if the sand comes from the seabed, fresh water is used to flush out the salt and make the sand better usable. I think this ship is flushing its cargo whilst underway.

[@marryellen7713]

What type for boat was the first big one? It had water running over it all the time.

[@reneehauser6503]

I was wondering that also

[@timstrikers]

In the Netherlands we call it a ‘beunschip’. I guess the English term is ‘well barge’. It’s mainly used for transporting sand and sand-like commodities. The sand is normally loaded by pumping it aboard with huge amounts of water. The water is pumped out of the ship afterwards. But if the sand comes from the seabed, fresh water is being used for flushing the salt out. This to make the sand more suitable for further use. I suppose this ship is flushing its cargo whilst underway.

[@wilfredzwart2154]

Beroepsvaart heeft nagenoeg altijd voorrang. De schipper van de beroepsvaarder heeft ook slecht zicht gezien zijn lengte dus daar dien je rekening mee te houden. Verder is het manoeuvreren met zo’n groot schip in de Amsterdamse grachten haast niet te doen, vandaar dat de schipper zijn schip rustig laat uitlopen. Als je dan, zoals deze mensen, je plastic bootje er nog net ff tussendoor douwt kun je niet varen en heb je kennelijk een doodswens. En dan zie je dat hij een dukdalf raakt en daardoor zijn helmstok ook nog eens losschiet zodat hij bijna onbestuurbaar wordt, vlak voor zo’n groot schip! Deze booteigenaar heeft kennelijk héél weinig inzicht in zijn eigen kunnen en kennen !

[@peterdeboer1010]

De brug opening is zo getimed, dat het grote schip gewoon door kan varen. Het groene licht kan pas aan, wanneer de brug 100% open is. In de praktijk zal geen enkele schipper achteruit slaan om onnodig daarop te wachten. Misverstand is onmogelijk, omdat er al ruime tijd een rood/groen licht brandde. Helaas weten al die dronken plezier vaarders nauwelijks wat ze doen.

@@robertomorsink2014 Er is nog steeds een brugwachter hoor, alleen kijkt die via camera's (en ik meen ook microfoons, in sommige gevallen, vanwege de ongevallen op grote bruggen waar mensen ernstig gewond raakten) vanaf een centrale/andere locatie van een brug mee hoe de verkeerssituatie er uitziet. Daarom zie je tegenwoordig bij op-afstand bediende bruggen ook steeds vaker dat het sluiten van alle bomen zo ontiegelijk veel tijd kost: elke mogelijkheid om te ontsnappen van een te openen brugdek wordt secondenlang opengelaten, soms zelfs als dat eigenlijk niet nodig is. Toen deze brug nog op locatie werd bediend (en de brug tenminste DUIDELIJKE bellen had, want dat ge-eikel met die piepjes zal ik wel nooit begrijpen) sloten de bomen een beetje als op een spoorwegovergang waarbij de tegenovergestelde rijrichting opengelaten wordt aan de zijde waar het verkeer volgens de regels niet rijdt. Voetgangersboom rechts, en voetgangersboom linkstegenover sloten, net als die voor het wegverkeer. Als die bomen dicht waren en het brugdek was duidelijk visueel leeg, dan sloot de rest onmiddellijk, zonder vertraging. (Ik weet het niet zeker, maar misschien dat de brugwachter hoogstens een boom kan tegenhouden tijdens het dalen, maar dat de volgorde en snelheid tussen het dalen van elke boom zo ongeveer vast staat als er verder niet wordt ingegrepen).

It can be that it is transporting sand dredged from the sea, the water is flushing the salt out of the sand then.

Thats orange... it means that you can go under bridge easy (if you are able with your boat) but be ware of traffic from the opposite... its own risk... the red light on the pole at the right side means just stop for ships who can not go under... make contact with harbor authorities, then when the green lights comes together with the red, means bridge control knows you are waiting, bridge control started... just wait for single green light to proceed ... the big vessel already proceed much to early... he had to wait til the green/red had turned in to single green light... so the big vessel was not allowed already to continue... the little ship took also a lot of risk, but he was allowed to preceed, the guy was crazy to take the risk... and you can see that his helman was not in good shape, it turned loss... bad maintenance...

[@worldwalker360]

The English word world comes from the Old English weorold (-uld), weorld, worold (-uld, -eld), a compound of wer "man" and eld "age," which thus means roughly "Age of Man."[2] The Old English is a reflex of the Common Germanic *wira-alđiz, also reflected in Old Saxon werold, Old Dutch werilt, Old High German weralt, Old Frisian warld and Old Norse verǫld (whence the Icelandic veröld). The corresponding word in Latin is mundus, literally "clean, elegant", itself a loan translation of Greek cosmos "orderly arrangement". While the Germanic word thus reflects a mythological notion of a "domain of Man" (compare Midgard), presumably as opposed to the divine sphere on the one hand and the chthonic sphere of the underworld on the other, the Greco-Latin term expresses a notion of creation as an act of establishing order out of chaos.[4]

He was already making some speed to not cause a hold-up for longer than strictly necessary. Having to wait for a full green would take way to much time, and the full green is only given when all safety systems for opening the bridge have reported back operating normally and have secured that part of the waterway. It's practically automatic from the moment all gates are closed.
