Capesize bulk carrier on heavy seas at Pacific Ocean.

[@virgiliobalansag9869]

TKS. For this video its very interesting for me of being a retired master of several panamax and cape size bulk carriers.

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Absolutely magnificent! Love the natural sounds and fabulous light. :-)

[@janvisser2223]

This is a nice video for showing people the need for proper maintenance of ballast tank air heads

[@jasonmoyer9492]

That and proper welds of the baffles in and the hull in the yard. Or even repairs at sea. Bad welds can spell doom. If u notice on the hull that welds don't run in a line from top to bottom. They are staggered. That's so if a weld breaks it stops at the end of the weld. Had the seams been one long weld from rail to keel one small Crack in the weld and the it will brake along it's entire length. As u can imagine a weld braking from rail to keel will most likely be catastrophic. Just FYI for anybody not a welder. I worked a few years as a welder in the yards then joined the merchant navy and became a engineer. It was a good job. But a back injury caught up to me and I had to stop going to sea. But learning to weld was the best thing I did after high school. I've always had work and after I made journeyman the money is great. Young people want nothing to do with it. They don't want to earn their keep or have calloused and dirty hands I guess. Some look down their nose at tradesman but I make as much as my wife that has a masters in nursing. I earn from 70k to 110 in about 10 months of work. I take 2 months off every year. Still young dudes aren't willing to work for that. I don't get it.

[@neilturner6865]

You can watch the ship bending and moving due to the stress factors in the building of the ships. I worked on bulk carriers sailing across the Atlantic we rolled and twisted from Lands end to The St Lawrence very scary for a 16 year old boy. Been going to sea now for 44 years love my job as a Chief 👨‍🍳 at 🌊😜🙈

[@jasonmoyer9492]

I'm a welder/shipfitter/mechanic. I worked in shipyards prior to going out to sea. But steel is malleable and ductile. Which basically means it can bend and twist. However if it's not built right or to a high standard with crap welds things can happen. Like a ship snapping when the bow is out of the water. Other breaks I've seen are when the stern and bow is on the wave crests and the middle breaks. It's Ray but does happen. I'm sure videos are on KZbin. After a couple years in the shipyards I went to merchant marines. Started at the bottom and worked my way up to 1st engineer. Fun job and I miss it. Damn back injury caught up to me a couple years ago and I had to quite going to sea. Now I just mess around at the house and weld on various project's.

[@martinleung212]

I was the radio officer onboard a similar iron ore carrier in the early 1970s. I wasn't scared, I trusted my Captain. I was only 22 yo, fearless sort of.

[@mohdibrahim5169]

Very big ship with heavy loads nicely video maker.

[@johnphilipfosterdobson551]

My uncle and granddad and dad were merchant seaman rolling around the world during and after WW2, in clapped out British freighters. My uncle was in the Russian convoys during WW2 and saw ships dissappear.

[@johncuddy2669]

Very brave men especially on those russian convoy's . Sitting ducks for air, and U-boats .

[@kennethgrindrod6438]

Capesize bulk carriers are ones that are too large to go through the Suez or Panama Canal,s so have to travel around the capes although now since widening both canals some can now

[@johnmarkgamayot4434]

Capesize can travel to Suez and now in the new sets of panama locks. The one that cant pass the panama are the VLOCs and VALEMAXs.

Pueden viajar, cuando Bolivia,recupere los 323 kilómetros de Océano Pacífico, dialogar con Chile, pero cediendo territorio de Antofagasta y Arica, para así, beneficiar a los transportistas bolivianos con sus cargas hacia los puertos del Pacífico, pero, con mucha hermandad latinoamericana por doquier, pero, con todo cargamentos de toda índole, para así, beneficiar al Comercio Exterior, turismo vengan de donde vengan y viceversa. Es suficiente con el revertimiento del fallo de La Haya del 2018, 143 años después, así, estas tremendas embarcaciones, puedan circular con tranquilidad común y corriente, etc, etc, etc.

Rip all on board all those lost souls of the MV Derbyshire . Still no justice for the families .

[@MrRgr004]

You are 100 % right and I was thinking the same while viewing the video. Capesize bulkers are now fitted with a forecastle to protect the forward hatches thanks to the efforts of the Derbyshire Family Association and Captain Dave Ramwell.

[@Drummer81able]

Whats the vessels name? Great video. No music,just plain real sound effecs

[@swashbucklermark6970]

Vessel name Olympius

[@EltonBergantinos]

7 cargo holds? Maybe PANAMAX or KAMSARMAX, depending on the Deadweight of the BULK VESSEL PANAMAX 7 holds ranging 60k-120k deadweights without cranes, mostly KAMSARMAX OR BABY CAPES 7 holds ranging 80k to 120k dead weight. And for CAPESIZE? 9 cargo holds if more than 9 maybe VLOC. Approximately 140k deadweights and more 😅. Been working in shipping lines for almost 2 years. And willing to be corrected if I’m wrong 🙃

[@hughcapetien]

A lot of heavy listing, but no capsizing. That ship had a heavy load.

[@wingsontheat7188]

The title includes "Capesize" - which refers to the size of the vessel, not "capsize" which refers to a ship overturning.

[@PaulieVavoom]

@@wingsontheat7188 I made the same mistake, lol. Thanks.

[@pittviper6320]

The ship is that big, it has its own lighthouse at the front of it!

[@NoBody-qh9ee]

Flawless maintenance of hatch covers from owners is vital ... liquefaction is the worst thing that could happen in these weather conditions... God bless all seafarers!

[@alexanderivkin7086]

Imagine having a ship that's almost half a million tons and still the ocean is stronger.

[@felixcat9318]

I don't care for that sea state, nor for how low the vessel appears to be in the water. That combination would make me somewhat concerned, which is why I'd be unsuited to life at sea.

[@BuzzSargent]

I would title this: Rock & Rollin Bulk Carrier. Thank God she did not capesize.

[@TimDaOne]

She's so low in the water think it's pretty hard to capsize

[@skipperry63]

It seems like there is very little reserve buoyancy and a 1 inch GM! They’ll be alright though. 😊

[@asaimmamohamed8795]

Hi everyone just to confirm is not capsize which is dangerous for seamn life it's actually heavy rolling due to The beam deep swell.
