BlueStar Ferry docking in Port Rhodos in stormy weather with rope demolition

[@andy99ish]

The Aegean is known for gales (6-9 Beaufort) which do not translate into high waves , as the Aegean is scattered with many islands that will not allow high seas to build up. So ferries will safely operate under very heavy wind conditions. However these gale force winds make maneuvers in harbors extremely difficult. Sea going elderly islanders know that and will sit in front of some harbor kafenion (traditional cafe) and watch how specific ferries under specific skippers will do. An approving or disapproving grunt will be uttered after each maneuver. I watched with them and I was impressed how most ferries managed to enter and dock at relatively small harbors with extreme winds safely and swiftly. What is shown in that video is a ferry docked SIDEWAYS to an autumn gale/storm. What is astonishing is that it managed to dock AT ALL in first place. Now the rope which broke was not necessary to hold the ship alongside the quay. This is already accomplished by two stern lines (black lines pointing sideways from the back of the ship). The line which broke was meant to reduce the stern sideway movements to ZERO, so that the gangways extending from the stern would not move against the ground at all. That the first line snapped is no big deal - the port police officer at 0:53 is not even astonished it did. New lines were brought out and people & vehicles could exit and enter that ferry safely despite the extreme side wind. Respect for the seamanship of the Blue Star 2 crew !

[@captained7972]

In the first place why tie that rope to the capstan when the gangway is not yet put down . The ramp or gangway will break the rope anyway because the rope blocks it.

I love how all the shore crew are in loafers and Members Only jackets.

[@michaeltb1358]

How do they fix the bollards in place? They attached several ropes to one bollard so the load must be massive.

[@MrGreta]

That was one of the easyest dockins i ever watched

[@pollyannapositive9192]

They better have their constant tension winch activated to keep the ship hugging the pier constantly.

This looks like a mooring job for MoorMaster vacuum plate automated mooring system. Ferries in particular would benefit from this technology.

Anyone of those mooring lines connecting the ship to the pier breakout and hit you....YOU COULD LOST YOUR ARMS, LEGS OR DIE. SOMETIMES IN MY SEAMAN LIFE BEFORE WIRE CABLES, ROPES SNAPS OUT FLYING IN THE AIR. VERY DANGEROUS. YOU ONLY UNDERSTAND THE WORD DANGEROUS WHEN IT HITS YOU.

It's hard to believe that this type of docking is legal for passenger and vehicle traffic anywhere in the civilized world. That ferry should be in a dedicated slip surrounded by piling groups.

[@charisgiannatos2486]

In a third world country like Greece everything is legal.

[@panosboulou7449]

[@tonyhitch5799]

Seriously? Have you ever been on a boat anywhere in the world? How many boats are pulling into dedicated slip surrounded by piles?!?! Jeeesus. I bet you wait for the green man to cross the street even when you can see nothing coming for 2km in each direction.

No port has that look at cruise ship ports built for luxury liners. They don't have it. Maybe for a small boat basin...
