Fueling a Cruise Ship in Manhattan NYC

Cruise Ships need fuel and a lot of it. So instead of going to the gas station, the gas station goes to the Cruise Ship.

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you from a 77 year old woman who still maintains and sails a 50 year old ketch (built by my late husband and me) and is in lifelong love with all things nautical. I wish I could handle my 32 footer as superbly as you handle those barges. After a lifetime around boats, including earning a living on them, I never stop learning and your channel is a university of ship handling!

Another 63yo woman here. i’ve been watching your channel on and off for about three years now. I definitely understand what it’s like to have a successful channel and try to launch a new one. My popular channel is about my helicopter flying, but the channel I’m working on now is about cruising in my Ranger Tug. I got my six pack captains license last October and just finished the Great Loop (mostly) solo earlier this week. Those channels created by the young and beautiful are nothing compared to what knowledgeable older folks like us can create drawing upon years and years of experience. Keep up the good work here and there. I’m not a sailor but I’ll check out that other channel.

Hi Captain Tim! Got any Paella left over? Do they still have an SR-71 on the Intrepid? Seeing the cruise ship next to the Intrepid really shows just how obscenely large the cruise ship really is. In the shadow on the side of the ship I see somebody's radar spinning. That's not yours, is it?

You really are a master craftsman at what you do. It is so enjoyable to listen to you as you calculate the precise maneuvers. This was a very enjoyable video to watch. Keep up the great work! Oh, and about the folks wanting the other angles. I hear you, you need to take care of the barge first! One idea might be to check into some fixed cameras so all you need to do is set it and forget it before you journey out and take the sd cards out when you are back at the dock. Pay a young kid a few bucks to sync it all up... That way you stay focused on the barge but we get more angles :) Take care Tim.
