I was employed on a couple jobs at the Northport power plant, We repaired an leak from an oil pipeline coming ashore from the platform. Right close to where it came ashore. We took quite a beating a couple times. We had a cutter head dredge to dig a channel to the leak one night the wind shifted and blew the water out from underneath us , the Dredge sat out of the water for 12 hours. I was also took part in a couple cable repair jobs , and was on the water for 5 months on a job where we laid a natural gas pipeline from the Northport power Station and came ashore by the Maritime college in the bronx. Quite the project , would never do that again.

Tim, you are so very correct about going overboard in the winter. I know personally how it feels to hit that cold water in winter. I was working on a small oyster boat, just outside Bridgeport CT, when I went overboard. The haul-line of the oyster dredge was freezing up, and the ice cause it to jump out of the winch, just as I grabbed the dredge to swing it aboard. I don't remember the year, but I remember it was a Saturday just before Christmas. I fell in right shoulder first, and immediately was pulled back aboard by my father. It was literally seconds that I was in the water, just long enough to soak my clothes under my rain gear, fill my boots, but NOT get the contents of my wallet wet, except to corner of 2 pictures. Even in that short time, I could not breathe, and I was shaking violently. My father, always prepared, handed me a thick wool sweater, and told me to strip off the wet shirts. Then joked about making a few more tows, before going in, because we "Need gas money", as we were heading for the dock. The water is a very dangerous place in the winter. I love your videos, on both channels. Stay Safe!! CUOTO

I actually had the unfortunate experience of seeing one of our Polish sailors going over the side as he was putting out the gangway platform by himself at a berth in the River Thames. Quick shout of "Man overboard!!!" on the VHF radio and I raced down to the main deck to the spot where he had gone over. We had berthed on a strong flood tide, starboard side to, so I wasn't expecting to see him come up (if he did) where he went over. No chance of getting further aft beause of our dredge gear. Well very much to my surprise he did pop up where he went over. I nearly didn't grab him as I was amazed to see him still wearing his glasses and smiling. Managed to grab the collar of his work jacket holding onto him till the rest of the crew arrived and we him out of the water. Seems to be a bit of a family tradition, not one I really want, as my father saved the life of a Norwegian captain during WWII. Anyway another interesting video and different aspect of your job Tim. See you Red - Red. 👍

Tuesday is Tim B. at Sea! Another good one. I was a little confused at first. To me, the term "oil platform" means oil drilling platform, and I never heard of oil drilling in Long Island Sound. (I live in Connecticut.) But an off-shore oil terminal platform, for off-loading fuel products to eastern Long Island, makes perfect sense. A thought on deck work in the winter. I'm a retired construction worker. Whenever we needed to work outside the safety lines, we needed to be "tied off" with a harness and lanyard. They're cumbersome and a real pain to work with, but given the dire consequences of a worker falling from hight, or a tugboat deckhand entering the water in the winter, it seems it might be worth a consideration. Just a thought. Thanks again for another entertaining and informative video.

I enjoyed your conversation regarding the intrinics safety aspect of Gopros or any electronic device. I'm an electrical engineer for over 25 years and have specified intrinic systems/devices during those years. Your statement was corect when dealing with Fuel Oil sytems, There are enclosure ,energy (voltage/amps) and distance requirements that all play into what can or cant be used to prevent ignition sources in flammable enviroments. I commend you and the maritime comunity for understanding such a complex design concept. For those that might be wondering, those radios used by your dock crew are IS (Intrinic Safety) rated. BTW: I have a boat on the hudson, hope to see you up here again soon. Love your channel.

Tim, Snot sure if it's the platform I think it is, but if it is, some of the Sound's best fishing is west of there between "13", "11B" and the obstruction buoy, that area is locally known as the triangle. As you know, the topography, tides and winds can make things interesting there without much warning. The tug MV Gwendoline Steers went down near there at the mouth of Huntington Bay during a winter storm. The Long Island Sound was once known as the Devil's Pass. Stay safe and CUOTO, Harry

I know the word is not used often, and I do not mean to be "that guy" that thinks he is smarter or needs to correct you, far from the truth! For everyone's benefit, the word is "intrinsically" safe, meaning it cannot produce a spark or flame in a flammable environment. Your explanation was spot-on, hope you do not mind the help with the word. I really enjoy your videos and thank you for taking the time to produce them. Keep up the good work!!

I remember one visit there back in the early 80's, it was late summer and the fog set in when we were a mile of so off. Of course the radar decided to take a break at the same time. The Captain told EVERYONE to get up on the Barge as lookouts. We could hear him trying to raise the platform on the VHF, when the finally answered, I remember him telling them to "Light it up". What happened next is funny only because nothing happened. When those lights came on, the Platform was right off the bow! As the Captain was twisting the hell out of it he screamed "TURN THOSE LIGHTS OFF". LOL Somehow he got that barge to land flat and we all had a good laugh after everyone stopped shaking!

I used to work at a plant just south of the tanks that that platform feeds. If the battery in a GoPro became compromised the heat energy very likely would not be contained by the case, nor would a cell phone, vaping device or many other battery operated consumer products. I would imagine there are many such items that would not be welcome in a fuel transfer or storage environment. When that cold water hits your chest and face your body enters a drowning preservation mode which inhibits your breathing. It's simply "breath taking" in a literal sense. You open your mouth and your diaphragm refuses to move and draw in any air. I found this out once when I ran my sailboat aground on a lake which was iced over at the edges. When I tried to walk out my anchor so I could winch myself towards deeper water, I found I could not breathe once that cold water hit my chest. Luckily I was able to retreat and make it back aboard. Years later I learned about what caused the reaction.

That was a fun watch. Glad I wasn't out on that bow. Do your drills ever involve anybody actually going into cold water? That safety lecture - oh man do I agree. I've been in 30-something degree water. I used to go "frostbite" racing at a lake in New Jersey - flipping a Laser and going into the drink, even in a wetsuit, was an intense experience. The shock of going in is paralyzing even - as you said - at the age of 17 and fit. The intensity of the cold is indescribable. It was nothing I ever wanted to do again. 4 decades later ... I don't even want to contemplate a repeat. The 100 yards or so to shore looked like a mile. Thank goodness we had a motorboat along for just that kind of emergency.

Thank you for watching. No. We do drill often and have ongoing training two or three times a hitch. But putting a man in the water now seems like it might be more dangerous than teaching people to not go in. I could be wrong. Just my thoughts. CUOTO

Hi Tim. Going out to the platform made a change and you said ships refuel at it, but why didn't they go the whole hog and connect the platform to a supply pipe. I know it would do you guys no favor's, but it would mean no ice problems and skating off deck. I used to like sailing past the WWII anti aircraft platforms in the Thames Estuary that my old boat patrolled. The platforms were to hassle bombing raids on London, as the bombers used the Thames as an easily seen route into the city. There is a video on KZbin of a group who are restoring them, that would be an interesting trip out. Thanks and stay safe and warm. It's 33C here at 12,50hrs.

Thank you for watching. So I may have not said something correctly or was not understood. Ships and barges load and discharge product to shore side tanks. Many years ago, before NYC was Dredged to 55 feet, super tankers would lighter here to be able to get in to NYC. Then later ships would bring gas from Europe over and bring diesel back, but before the trip they would use this platform and shore side tanks to add blending products to the diesel. CUOTO

Very interesting content Tim! Your "man overboard" talk brought back movie images of the Titanic going down. I often try to follow your tug's travel on Google Earth, I think I found the platform you were tying to. Great view of a barge made up (though pointing the opposite direction) with 10 lines securing it. One can even see the "hard" piping connected. A workboat right at the platform and a tug moored nearby!

I probably follow more KZbin channels that I should between travel, sailing, flying and some like this that don't fall in any grouping. The two consistent things I find difficult to grasp in videos are time and space. In the case of sailing, my biggest takeaway from attending the Annapolis Sailboat Show and comparison to the videos I watch was learning the scale of boats and their components such rigging turnbuckles, winches, water makers and others. From your channel I have learned moving vessels with a tugboat isn't about hooking up, getting to the destination as fast as possible, simply driving the vessel into the pier and exchanging dock lines for tow lines. I am enjoying learning about the interplay between time, space and nature that governs the work you do. I'm sorry if I'm rambling but I am continually surprised at how often grasping space and time in KZbin videos becomes as interesting as gadgets, techniques and beautiful scenery (and an occasional bikini clad woman). On the topic of barge tours, I too would like to see and learn more about them but having worked in a broad range environments I understand the need for intrinsic safety and protection of all things company proprietary. Would it be possible for you to add arrows and captions describing features of a barge? After viewing several of your videos I've deduced one of the larger white structures houses generators, the other is shelter for the bargeman and instrumentation, the smaller white structures probably house pumps and the cranes are used to move connecting hoses. A few arrows and captions would help confirm or dispute my deductions. Keep up the great videos and above all STAY SAFE! ⛴️❤️😷
