[@cargoships]

Watching large ships perform tight turns can indeed be fascinating. These maneuvers are often necessary for various reasons, such as navigating through narrow waterways, reaching specific berths or ports, or avoiding obstacles. The location of these turns can vary, but they typically occur in rivers, canals, or other constrained water passages where space is limited. While the specific reasons for each turn would depend on the ship's route and destination, these maneuvers showcase the skill and precision of ship captains and pilots in navigating these massive vessels.

[@cargoships]

You're welcome! Indeed, maintaining these massive container ships is a continuous process, and a fresh coat of paint can go a long way in preserving their structural integrity. Rustoleum paint is known for its durability, and it's a common choice for protecting metal surfaces from corrosion. Keeping these ships in good condition is essential for their safe and efficient operation.

[@reverands571]

I like the lookout tower, on the front. And boy, was that a sharp turn, for a vessel this size. My boat is only 34.5 feet long.

[@cargoships]

The lookout tower, often called the "crow's nest," on ships is indeed a fascinating feature. It provides an elevated position for the lookout to spot potential obstacles or hazards on the water. As for the sharp turn, it's always impressive to see how skilled ship crews navigate these massive vessels through challenging maneuvers. Your boat may be much smaller, but every vessel, regardless of size, requires skillful handling to ensure safe navigation.

[@reverands571]

@@cargoships I usually think of sailing vessels, when I think of crow's nest, but naturally, it must apply to any ship. I even saw a picture of a 40 foot sailboat, with a crow's nest, once. It would be handy, navigating into a coral island, under power. I think that one, was raised up only when needed. It would limit the jib, terrible, otherwise.

It may appear in the video that the river is flowing uphill, but this is actually an optical illusion caused by the perspective and the camera angle. Rivers naturally flow from higher elevations to lower elevations, following the laws of gravity. It's important to remember that what you're seeing in the video is not a reversal of the river's flow but rather an illusion created by the camera's viewpoint.

[@brettfavreify]

Yeah "rusty." Always running, always in salt water. They're work boats, not cruise ships. You take them to the scrap yard after 15-20 years.

[@cargoships]

Absolutely, you've got it spot on! These vessels, as workhorses of the seas, endure the constant challenges of maritime environments. The harsh conditions, exposure to salt water, and the demanding nature of their work contribute to their weathered appearance. They're purpose-built for efficiency and functionality, rather than luxurious aesthetics. And you're right, after their dedicated service, they often find their way to the scrapyard to make way for newer vessels. It's fascinating how these ships become a testament to the strength and endurance of maritime industry.

[@stephensmith799]

That to me, is a beautiful ship. It bears the blemishes of deep sea going over humbling distances. But that’s fine with me. The architect has created something both functional and lovely.

[@cargoships]

Indeed, container ships have a unique beauty in their functionality and the way they bear the marks of their voyages across vast oceans. These workhorses of the sea might not have the ornate aesthetics of cruise liners, but they hold their own charm in their rugged, utilitarian design. Each rust spot and weathered surface tells a story of their long journeys and the challenges they've faced. It's a testament to human engineering and innovation that enables these vessels to transport goods worldwide efficiently. For those who appreciate the beauty in purposeful design, box boats like these are a sight to behold.

No maintenance ? Or economy measures ?

[@cargoships]

The condition of a ship, including its maintenance and upkeep, can be influenced by several factors. While I don't have specific information on this ship's maintenance history, the appearance of rust on a vessel may result from a combination of factors, including its age, the environmental conditions it operates in, and the maintenance practices of its owning and operating company. Sometimes, shipping companies may prioritize economic considerations, but it's important to note that safety and maintenance are fundamental in the maritime industry. Regular inspections, maintenance, and painting are typically carried out to ensure the vessel's structural integrity and seaworthiness. If rust or other issues are visible, it might indicate that the ship is due for maintenance or repainting.

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

I still find it funny having move to Germany and having the rhine river near me, how when a big boat goes past the water literally gets sucked out so far turning the massive river into almost a channel and so thin compared to normal and once the boat has passed, it comes rushing back to the normal river level and width again in waves, its weird and cool

[@cargoships]

That phenomenon you're describing is known as the "bow wave" or "ship-induced river drawdown." When a large vessel like a container ship passes through a narrow waterway like the Rhine River, it displaces a significant volume of water, causing a temporary drop in water level and narrowing of the river. Once the ship has passed, the displaced water rushes back, often creating noticeable waves and turbulence. It's indeed a fascinating natural occurrence and a testament to the powerful forces at play when these massive ships navigate rivers. It can be quite a spectacle to witness!

Is that not a lot of rust for a cargo ship ran by a major line? I have not spent a huge amount of time around cargo ships so I might be mistaken but it does seem to need a coat of paint.

[@cargoships]

Rust on cargo ships is not uncommon, especially for older vessels. While it might appear unsightly, it's not necessarily an indication of the ship's overall condition. Cargo ships like these are constantly exposed to saltwater and harsh conditions, which can lead to rust. Shipping companies often prioritize maintenance where it's most critical for the ship's structural integrity, and aesthetics like paint may not be their top concern. However, rust should be managed to prevent it from affecting the ship's structure. If you have more questions about ships or shipping, feel free to ask!

[@johnprendergast1338]

On a straight, narrow river there is a wake ...I have seen it and it takes a toll .....@@thebabbler8867

[@cargoships]

The passage of large vessels, such as container ships, in narrow waterways or rivers can indeed have an impact on the surrounding environment, including riverbanks. The powerful water displacement caused by these vessels can result in erosion of the riverbanks over time. To mitigate this impact, various measures can be taken, including: Regulations: Authorities often impose speed limits and traffic management rules for vessels in sensitive areas to reduce the impact of their wakes on the riverbanks. Dredging: Regular dredging of the riverbed can help maintain the necessary depth for navigation, reducing the need for vessels to create large wakes. Bank Stabilization: Installing erosion control measures, such as riprap (large rocks) or retaining walls, can help stabilize riverbanks and protect them from erosion caused by ship wakes. Environmental Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the river's ecological health can help identify any negative impacts and inform adaptive management strategies. Balancing the economic benefits of shipping and trade with environmental concerns is a complex challenge, and authorities typically work to strike a balance that allows for commerce while preserving the natural environment.

Handbrake turns for big ships

[@steviewonder6952]

Anybody else notice that there are no anchors.

[@cargoships]

It's possible that the absence of visible anchors on some ships could be due to the anchors being stowed or hidden below deck. Large container ships often have retractable or recessed anchor systems to reduce drag and improve their hydrodynamics while at sea. This design feature helps make the ships more fuel-efficient. While you may not see the anchors in the video, these vessels are equipped with the necessary anchoring equipment for use when needed, such as during anchoring in ports or emergency situations.

Must not be a speed limit for them, bet the wake is huge

[@cargoships]

There are often speed limits in harbors and narrow waterways to ensure the safety of all vessels. The wake created by large ships like these can indeed be substantial, and captains need to navigate carefully to minimize any potential issues. Thank you for your observation!

Ese barco en algun momento en las noticias sale que tuvo algun accidente en el medio del mar oh que sus motores oh lo que sea fallo. se ve muy viejo para seguir en Servicio.

[@cargoships]

Entiendo tus preocupaciones. Aunque un barco pueda mostrar signos de envejecimiento, es importante recordar que su mantenimiento regular y las inspecciones de seguridad son cruciales para mantenerlos operativos de manera segura. Los barcos pueden tener largas vidas útiles si se cuidan adecuadamente y se someten a mantenimiento y reparaciones periódicas. Siempre es importante que las autoridades reguladoras y las compañías navieras sigan estrictos estándares de seguridad para garantizar la navegación segura de estos buques.

Notice at 2:34 that the ship is registered in Valetta , the capital of Malta where the government makes the following promise: . . . "Automatic exemption from income tax on income derived from shipping activities of Maltese vessels of 1000 net tons and over" . . . The Maersk ( A.P. Møller - Mærsk ) and Uggla families avoid paying tax in Denmark. Like Coca Cola , McDonalds , Apple , IKEA , Amazon , Chiquita , Fyffes . . . . and many others. A tax-paradise is a place where nobody pay taxes . . . . except you
