Huge Ship in Storm off of California, USA

The containership Hyundai Discovery on route from Long Beach to San Francisco in June 2008 rolling in the heavy seas. Amazing how these large vessels can take on such severe met conditions! (Largest roll approx 17secs into video)

Tracking: your order is on its way. Your order:

[@TrainTrackTrav]

I'm blown away at how waves can roll such a massive vessle. Blessings.

[@beagle7622]

Imagine the forces being generated on the container frames

[@RIP_Sloucher]

How dose one come about getting a job on a ship like this?

[@norml.hugh-mann]

You must defeat one of the crew members in a hand to hand battle....only after they surrender, lose consciousnesses, or die can you replace them and hold your position until you are challenged.

I actually have another question, but if the trend continues, I'll be 40 years old when it gets answered so I guess I won't bother.

[@mymusicstore1]

@R700ADL -We use interlocking devices called "cones" that are placed in all 4 corners of each container so they can be stacked on top of one another, then we use what are called lashing bars that criss cross each other from one side of vessel to the other. similar to tie down straps but they are bars and a helluva lot stronger.

[@soko9984]

Always wondered how the hell they kept those containers on the ships during this kind of weather.

[@MichiganMediaOne]

WOW, Great video! Looks like the waters here in Michigan and Lake Superior in the late Fall.

[@hammyton]

@cmcdowall correct... a non-us flagged ship can load cargo at many US ports before going to an international destination as long as they're not actually transferring cargo to be unloaded between US ports.

[@nieznanyx]

how is it that the containers dont tip over when the ship is on such angles while being tossed around like a beach ball ??

[@ChhandakSahoo]

I'm going to enjoy this types of voyages after some years ! Very excited :))

[@shashankgupta9034]

Reality: crewmates trying to turn the ship upside-down.

[@Nebulasecura]

“We’re rocking the ship!”

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

The sneakers and plastic junk must get through!

[@pgxenosgr]

so must everything else :-)

[@cmcdowall]

@deckie1985 these two US ports where just two of her many international destinations, her route was from asia to the west coast of US so i presume the cargo onboard was not destined from one US port to another

[@falkschulte1060]

Not too bad sea ... for a big container vessel. What was your GM at that time?

[@jamesdewer]

Only empties topside mate. Containers are twist-locked and Lashed to the deck using steel rod. They should stay on deck as long as the Lasher did a proper job.

[@NormanMatchem]

Haha you ain't the only one! Looks like a lot of fun. I'd be stumbling around so much it'd look like I was drunk lol eh, if there was a bar on board I would be XD

[@iiredeye]

@R700ADL The bottom containers sits on the deck of the ship,that bottom container is held by twist locks (the same device that holds the box on the bed of the truck) the ones stacked above it are held by thin steel hawsers(1 in each corner of each box) that connect to a ratchet lock system lots of them are washed away or damaged I have seen them squashed like a coke can.I think I have some video on a phone I will try to post it later

[@TheGadler]

GREAT Visual.... like it! Wish i where there :)

[@mymusicstore1]

@easy08154711 magnetic hydraulic systems???? that was pretty far fetched dont you think?

[@Pangolinx1]

That's insane. The Hyundai Discovery is a huge ship that barely fits under the Golden Gate Bridge. It's easily as large as the largest aircraft carrier.

[@kj27wolf31]

Man, I bet all the people in those boxes had no idea what was going on too

[@cmcdowall]

@234icarlyfan She's the Hyundai Discovery (as in the video description) and now she is the MSC Discovery.

[@ZEivind]

@ubcs109 In Norway I go on high school called "maritim faget" it is a one year class, after you have finished one year at neither TIP or Electro class (google if you are interrested) Then you will have a apprentice for two years as an engine man or able seaman. You can also choose three years in nautic or as cmcdowall explained for you. Altough we are not guaranteed to get on a ship like this though... I dont think that is an option for you, but thats at least how it works in Norway.

[@lmogden1]

great video

[@hidingjaguar8031]

Well, it is floating on/in the water, resulting in the vessel moving whatever way the water moves.

[@Amber-fz1ee]

It wasn’t a storm but it tilted a lot!

[@skweekah]

The open sea is so beautiful and awe inspiring! I'd love to do a trans-atlantic journey on one of these massive vessels.

[@bellou596]

Beautiful

[@234icarlyfan]

Thanks for telling me the ship's name.

[@cmcdowall]

@spaid95 Twistlocks on all tiers and lashings on the lower two tiers extending to the third tier on the outer stacks.

[@beeeneee]

well in an airplane you would probably hear the misses saying "bank angle, bank angle, bank angle" ;)

[@oli.2844]

beeeneee 😂😂😂

[@andybunyan649]

great video - always wanted to go to sea but as a kid growing up in London in the early 80s there seemed no opportunities other than the RN. So I joined the railway and travelled the world off the back of what I learnt there instead. Thanks for posting what might have been :-)

[@matthewpenrose142]

I wonder how often them containers fall off.

[@FuzzyGlowCar]

It is estimated that 1382 containers are lost at sea each year.

[@mumphy7625]

it all depends where the meta-center is. if M is closer to center of gravity you have slow rolling motion. if M has a bigger distance to G the ship will get quicker in upright position. and then you have FMS which will make it roll more if the fms is too great. it is actually good that ships are rolling slower than quick.

[@Tvuvtctoj46fck]

FFS it all sounds like BS to me

[@venezzrok-fz1du]

It's very basic engineering/physics actually and besides that, an extremely logical deduction.

[@Dorkus89Malorkus]

Drunk + on that ship=perfect combo. You'd feel twice as drunk for half the alcohol (price)

[@234icarlyfan]

What's the ships name

[@boiseeas237]

Yeah remember you flat screen tv was on this boat and it's probably cracked

[@marcochavez11]

Excuse me but where is the storm?

[@adimanea]

wtf GM did you have? the waves and swell weren't that big to cause such rolling to a fully loaded ship with proper GM. either this or you were carrying empty boxes.

[@exoplanet11]

Hmmm... Why doesn't the camera move with the ship? Was it on gimbals? The horizon is steady.

These must be the cargo containers full of rubber dog shit that Tom Cruise was supposed to transport after failing Top Gun training school

[@hamlettelmah441]

Don't come on knocking if the cargo ship be rocking people, didn't the sock on the doorknob speak for itself?

[@diehardpunk19]

how does the containers NOT fall off the side of the boat!?

There's a video on here of a ship with 30* pitch. Started at 5* and just got worse and worse. I don't get seasick but I think I'd be hugging the head with that much pitch and roll lol.

1382 are lost at sea each year

[@PACAHOUST]

THATS AN ADVENTURE

[@mikecimerian6913]

One major hauler is lost with all hands every month.

[@easy08154711]

@R700ADL They have magnetic hydraulic systems on board

[@innovator1998]

Ive been in stormy seas before and its scary , but nothing like this , watching this gave me an idea to have a "huge" hydraulic moveabble counter weight inside the ships under belly which moves left and right depending on the swey of the ship , computer controlled this will counteract the swey

[@beany118118]

That sounds like a great idea, but it would probably cost way too much to have on the ships.

[@innovator1998]

Yes it will cost millions but if one of those containers in this video goes off plunging into the sea that "could" cost millions more

[@no0channel0at0all]

John Anderson the counter weight would take up too much space on the ship, this idea has be experimented in the past.

[@dwiriyanto1242]

Still small wave..

Every time I'm on choppy seas or see clips like this, I think about those poor slaves who were brought over to America chained in cramp quarters below deck. It's a wonder any of them survived.
