Intense Docking of 56m. EMERALD yacht

[@davearmstrong2296]

Why did they wait so long to throw the first lines out? Why did nobody stay on the deck to tighten the first lines to stop the boat moving side to side? Basic errors.

[@FloridaCracker-et5mw]

I'm a retired boat captain, I ran mostly vessels 200' to 240' in lenght and over the years I had a few yacht captains as mates, and most could not dock the vessel to save their lives! Hell, to be totally fair most mates no matter what their background in boating came from they couldn't dock the vessel and It was absolutely painful to watch and to be honest I didn't give them many trys because if they crashed the vessel I would have been held accountable. Most mates had Masters licenses but didn't understand wind and current conditions and would end up having accidents. I heard to many horror stories about A-hole yacht owners who thought thier s*** didn't stink so I never applied for yacht jobs.

[@stephenmajor5498]

I've watched the Seaboard "Diana J" dock at the Port of Miami just before a hurricane with only the bow thruster and one lineman. Because of the impending storm, some scheduling was confused so there was no tug boat and the ship doesn't have a stern thruster however the docking was much quicker and definitely less disorganized.

[@neilwharton720]

Why is the guy walking from side to side? You only need to see one side to see if you have space 😳Also the idea is to get the lines on quickly and make the vessel secure, not wait for eternity 🤫

[@JefrreyLndquist]

Bradenton Florida city yacht basin. MMM maybe early 70's, Dock-maser Bruce Keeney only took his boat out once a year for a bottom job. The day he was due back everybody arranged a watch and when he was spotted coming back up he river they spread the word and every body stood out to protect their boats. People who didn't normally live aboard would take the day off to hang out on their boats. Probably the most occupied day of the year.

[@jforester7]

As a former Boatswains Mate in the U.S. Navy, this mooring line sequence had me yelling at my laptop screen. Not sure if I'd be able to deal with such complacency and what seems like a lack of crew both onboard and on the pier for such a delicate operation.

[@shannonlinquist2649]

Same here - BM in the CG and this was very nerve wracking. "Sheesh - rudder amidships, both throttles a touch in reverse and then neutral... OMG!... give out some distances!..... UUGH... okay... just toss them the lines!!"

[@AlCastleman]

Actually, the width of the target berth was far greater than 90% of most med mooring situations. Further, the weather conditions were virtually dead calm. Both the captain and entire line-handling crew were just grossly incompetent.

[@DankyDankenstein]

That smoke show on the second deck. ❤

[@Jaq365]

I wonder how early in the process the crews of the adjacent boats saw what they were about to deal with from the Emerald's crew. And how common is it for a port employee to board the boat and show the crew how to deploy fenders and tie off lines? We used to have an expression "Like a monkey f&cking a football".

not sure who your looking at.. that tall guy is from their tender and he is wearing the crew uniform... the dock guy has a branded shirt for the Creek in malta i think. he never got on to adjust fenders.. but their crew from the dingy did.. good job by the dock guy for Dipping the lines... and if this triggers you.. stay out of the med... because this was done well.. even with crew in training.. she is obviously normaly dealing with passengers...

[@emmanuellaurens2132]

For all the people who missed it, there are lines at the front of the boat too, apparently tying to something fixed at the bottom of the sea (from what I can see on other yachts, they are way too short to be anchor lines, an anchor line so short wouldn't be secure at all). So I'm guessing all that time nothing was happening near the dock is because the captain and the rest of the crew were busy trying to set the lines at the front. And apparently not getting it right first try, by the time it took.

[@kayleboyd6825]

That was painful to watch, I think the below deck crew could do a better job

[@archiesvlogmc]

that what happens if you don't stay focus .. lesson learned 👍

[@robertstorey7476]

It seemed to be going alright until they stopped about 20 ft short of the dock and inexplicably did nothing for ages and eventually the unsecured boat started drifting to the right. The crews on the adjoining boats were visibly getting worried about what was going on.

[@Jeff-bg7pt]

[@motoryacht]

After watching this video numerous times and reading the comments from all the armchair captains, I can't see anything the crew did wrong. They safely docked a large yacht between two other large yachts in Monaco. Well, done, Captain and crew. 👏

[@alamos8]

Yes you can. The starboard line was too loose too much time, it allowed the stern to move to port without nobody noticing and doing nothing about it until last second. Not even a stern thruster was fired to correct that, as nobody seemed to notice. I have seen yatch of size, even on worse conditions, keeping the position in a +/- 30 cm margin by using greatly the engines and bow/stern thrusters

[@archiesvlogmc]

this is just one of many more dockings to come for them.. one experience after the other .. hoping all be better the next time .. as long as they didn't damage other yachts it's OK I guess 😊😊 cheers !

@@alamos8 most yachts don’t have stern thrusters.

[@thatukuleleman]

It wasn't slick but I'd guess the only real mistake was probably a call on the radio that the port spring was on when in fact it was starboard so the captain gave it a kick to port .

This so interesting to watch, and brings up a few questions for somebody like me that doesn’t know. 1) what is the job of the guy on the little inflatable? Is he trying to push it one way or the other?, because I thought the bow and stern thrusters did all that? 2) they secure the stern lines to the dock, on big boats like this, are those motorized on the yacht where they can pull in on either one of them? And 3) on the yachts that are already docked, what is that line that comes down from the bow and enters the water at an angle? What is that attached to?? I mean it’s most definitely not the anchor line right??What is that?

[@archiesvlogmc]

Hi there, ok.. the guy on the dinghy is the personal of port authority that guides each yachts to it’s dedicated docks. He gives the lines for the bow where she need to secure the front part of the yacht. That is the line that goes under the water in front. At the stern, for some big yachts yes it should be motorised to pull the mooring lines and secured it properly. In small yachts it doesn’t ned to be motorise. Hope I manage to answer your questions.

Perfect example of a Chinese Fire Drill, first mate is totally clueless about what he is doing. You could tell the first was clueless in the beginning of the docking he is running back and forth constantly and continues, you pick a point on he boat and remain there and pick a point on the dock- it is called spacial awareness. He also failed to train his crew, he should be cashiered but then he is probably related to the owner.
