Azamara Onward cruise incident "The cruise goes first,Sir!"

[@lenvella9541]

Not sure what happened here not very clear but maybe this will tear up the situation about giving way. :- www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/waterways-safety-and-rules/rules/giving-way

[@stevenward4162]

This video should be used as an excellent learning tool for any new maritime students on how to handle a situation like this!

[@philgray1023]

Could be taught by a guy called Franky Schettino perhaps.

[@Andres-rb4hl]

Me and my wife Monica Moser a really great companion went on the Onward ship to the Caribean to the Caribbean at 14-15 nymph it was great, especially the crew, like my butler Dexter and his person that arranged our stateroom every day REMY, and all the other crew member, we enjoyed every single minute Thanks to all of them, the fantastic food, service, restaurants, shows, the fantastic SUNSHINE BAND, and splendid White Nights, I am going back next December so be ready amigos, Andres & Rosanna, and Monica for sure. !!! Enjoy your 2023

Both are under Engine, common courtesy let’s the commercial boat have the clear passage ! But the Cat is French!!! They don’t follow any rules 😮

[@marinoviejo]

En el comienzo del video, cuando sube a bordo el practico, el crucero hace sonar su sirena a modo de advertencia al velero durante numerosas ocasiones, sin embargo el catamaran continua en su loca carrera para adelantar al crucero, haciendo caso omiso de las advertencias sonoras que se le hace. Teniendo en cuenta ademas que las condiciones del mar como se ve en el video no eran nada aceptables con mar formada y viento, la conducta del velero es totalmente reprobable, a parte de la verguenza de ser advertido por el barco de los practicos de viva voz . Un video muy educativo de como debe ser el comportamiento en las entradas de los puertos, sobre todo cuando hay barcos grandes haciendo la maniobra, muchas gracias por compartir !!!

[@fuertemarejada]

Lamentablemente hay mucha gente manejando barcos que no conocen las normas, solo pasaron el examen 😞

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Gracias!

The moment when you can afford a floating caravan and good seamanship flies out the window.

[@philgray1023]

I wonder about this one. That is a very expensive cat. It may be under crewed charter. The skipper may be commercially qualifed. I mean Francesco Schettino wasn't a shining example of how large cruise ships should be properly sailed. The Corsican operator of the cat may have a better explanation of what was going on.

[@Barnagh1]

I sail in a shipping port. The harbourmaster has imposed a local rule - ships have the rights at all times, no exceptions. All small vessels give way and keep out of the way. It works.

[@ThomasSteffien]

could have gone wrong ... letting the big ship pass is safer for all

[@robertewalt7789]

In learning to sail small boats in NYC harbor, we were taught to give way to the ships and boats that were working.

[@ThomasSteffien]

@@robertewalt7789 i learned sailing on our lake - in a dinghi and later owned a 22ft small cabincrusier - a time i will never forget

[@deksea]

I wouldnt consider this to be an 'incident". I think it would more properly be considered the avoidance of an incident.

[@Mark-pm9nh]

hey Javier . Awesome video . Beautiful cruise ship . Mark (Toronto) 👍

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Thanks Mark!

[@pirateandoelmar]

Algunos no respetan las normas, buen video amigo superlike!!!

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Gracias!

[@billholt716]

Some think the sailboat, under sail or power, has the right of way, either because of it's "sailing" or because it is being overtaken under power, which it obvious is. No, not true, because a RIM (Restricted In Maneuverability) vessel has right of way. The cruise vessel is obviously in that situation. Yes I am retired but had a Master's license.

[@antiguogrumete]

Sí que es cierto, que los repetidos toques de sirena que hace el crucero resultan poco comprensibles, pero en cualquier caso siempre hay que facilitar la maniobra al barco más grande y no hacer carreras por llegar antes en un barco que además es lento. Un vídeo muy instructivo, gracias por aportar , like 😀

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Gracias!

[@fuertemarejada]

Un vídeo espectacular, súper like amigo 😍😍😍!!!

[@fuertemarejada]

Por cierto, el crucero le aviso varias veces antes con la sirena y el ni caso🤷

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Gracias!

[@galernasalvaje]

Poco enterado el del catamaran, podia haber prestado atencion a los toques de sirena que le estaban dando, buen video like!

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Gracias!

Nice Cruise Ship 🚢⚓ have fun day for you guys 🥰😘😊

[@Longtack55]

Common sense and elementary navigation rules were "all at sea."

[@philgray1023]

Nice video. Sound signals are a mystery to many skippers. I saw no great problem. I don't think the cruise ship was at risk, although many ports have exclusion zones around large vessels and some noteable ports have detection systems in place under the water. Fines for breaches are enormous.

[@omegaseamaster1550]

No great problem?? Well, the sound signals where sent as the Captain or Pilot did not understand the intentions of the smaller vessel. The larger vessel was constrained by her draft and ability to maneuver hence the blasts from the ships horn. I am not a harbour pilot, but I did stay a Motel 6 -2.0 Express last night :)

[@philgray1023]

@@omegaseamaster1550 The first signal indicated he was going to overtake on the vessels starboard side. I've not driven a cruise ship but wouldn't mind a go. How hard can it be?

[@steveblanchard7293]

confusing horn signals from the Onward

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Well yes, at the beginning of the video he sounds his horn repeatedly, which I find strange...

[@Barnagh1]

No incident here, common sense prevailed. The pilot boat stood by to ensure the ship has enough sea room.

[@brittanyhough593]

I'm super confused about what went wrong

[@stevenward4162]

The catamaran slowed down and deviated off to the right in order to give way to the cruise ship!

[@dalydegagne1839]

@@stevenward4162 The Practicos boat - was it a harbour patrol or pilot boat. Looks like it may got between the ship and the catamaran to ensure that the cat stayed clear. Is that correct?

[@stevenward4162]

@@dalydegagne1839 The Practicos boat looks to me to be a Pilot boat ! As to what the person on the pilot boat actually said to the skipper on the catamaran to get him to slow down and give way to the Azamara ship is open to interpretation! Seems to me the skipper of the catamaran should have know better in the first place! Surely the skipper of the catamaran was not completely oblivious to the cruise ship coming behind him?Would you walk in the middle of a narrow road with a bus coming up behind you? No; you stand aside and let the bus pass, of course! I'm also wandering if some kind of fine may may have been issued to the yacht skipper too! Anyway, this is my common sense worth of this situation!

[@johnnynewton9167]

Sail boat has right of way when not under command or when sailing in open water only. 3 blasts I am going astern, 1 blast starboard and 2 blasts to port so signals are confusing. 5 n Blasts means unsure of your intentions or get out of the way,

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

A sailboat under power is a power driven vessel and no longer has right of way over another PDV.

[@brober]

Well that explains a lot.🙄

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

Any vessel overtaking another is the give way vessel. Technically, The sailboat under power had the right of way.

[@billholt716]

No, RIM (Restricted In Maneuverability vessel has right of way. The cruise vessel, is obviously in that situation.

[@axisgarm]

Actually the sailboat has the right away…. The sailboat doesn’t move using mechanical power….

[@mrblanche]

In this particular instance, the catamaran was not under sail.

[@hdaviator9181]

Title: Catamaran gives way to giant poop container.
