M/F OstendSpirit - SelimSan - Beeching / Aliaga

M/F Ostend Spirit - Selim San - Beeching / Aliaga 13.11.2013 tarihinde Gemi'nin Aliaga Türkiye'de karaya vurdurma operasyonu.. ( Sn. Selim San tarafından çekilmiştir.)
Beeching operation of vessel ( Turkey / Aliaga Ship demolishing yards.)

[@eurostenners]

This ship is the Pride of Calais - built 1987. She was only the Ostend Spirit for the last few months of her life. Many millions of people travelled on her between Dover Calais in those 25 years.

[@kotsbrown]

Some of the best days of my life were spent working on this ship. Very, very sad to see this. She was a beautiful ole girl..sniff, sniff.

[@lag3r537]

Me also was working on this vessel. Nice time spending))

[@DEP717]

My condolences, a pretty ship.

[@MrMercury3488]

This ship for most of her life between 1987 - 2012 was The Pride of Calais.

[@Sailorman56]

Well done!!! Very professional approach.

[@melvinblumsley3476]

This is what Berta Lovejoy looks like when she gets out of the bath tub

[@bearbon2]

Nice beaching! He put half the ship in the yard and even drove the ones on either side farther up on shore.

[@criddell86]

Mark Knopfler (from Dire Straits) has a song called "So Far from the Clyde" which captures this moment perfectly.

[@SciStarborne]

Oh wow, I remember going on that ferry when I was little, coming back from France with my dad's old Transit van full of cheap booze. We went out on the Pride of Calais, and it was a very clean ship. Everything tidy and working. We came back on the Pride of Dover which was the same model of ferry, but a total shit-hole. Grubby carpets, litter everywhere, and the big TV in the kids play area had a hole smashed in it.

[@69mag]

On first watching I thought we had an accident in progress, but these guys know what they're doing. A perfect parking job, must have been a rush for the crew on board..

[@KidMillions]

This was 'The Pride of Calais' from P&O, bought by Transeuropa Ferries last year, which went bankrupt, that's the reason it's being scrapped prematurely.

[@Skykingsound]

Seems like a popular spot to beach a boat.

[@MauiWowieOwie]

It's a scrap yard. Boats at the end of their life cycle are beached and then taken apart for scrap. The boat on the right is what will happen to this one.

[@MauiWowieOwie]

Michael Randolf Didn't read the description, I was on mobile. I just mentioned it because the last time a video was posted like this everyone thought it the captain was drunk and it was labeled as such.

[@MauiWowieOwie]

Michael Randolf Nah, I'm pretty stupid sometimes too. I would say I'm in 20% about 80% of the time.

[@RedditOutLoud]

It's... it's a miracle. I made it to a video before the Reddit trolls pillaging the comments section!

[@Smirnoff67]

You can still use the "Hide-Fedora" Plugin for Chrome it work flawlessly ! It remove these stupid comment from youtube

[@hyenalaugh7577]

What's a reddit?

[@darthdj31]

Mandela Stolemybike avoid it

[@RedditOutLoud]

darthdj31 it ain't that bad. I use reddit too. as long as you subscribe to the right subreddits you're fine.

[@greedzeeya2120]

I am not from reddit and I found this video. That is all. Thank you.

[@lorrydriverdotcom]

Amazing to see thanks, but a bit sad, this ship is being scrapped before her time

[@BarryStanton]

Park it there drive, be with you after tea :-)

[@BarryStanton]

This is supported by stats indicating number of prisoners per head of population over the last forty years or so?????

[@hans2406]

Sad to see this ship beaching, used it many times between Britain and Ostend.

[@CGCampbellJr]

Well done, perfect aim.

[@steveluckhurst2350]

2nd attempt!

[@melvinblumsley3476]

Reddit is love, reddit is life

[@BigAlf16]

If you say so

[@leecambsuk2871]

travelled on spirit of calais, ostend spirit quite a few times. new spirit of calais is quite nice.

[@TerrySunnyVision]

Beaching is quite common in the third world countries. Vessel owners are required to decommission and dismantle their vessels in a proper manner under maritime law which is hugely expensive as it is also dangerous. However, scrap metal traders welcome the beaching of vessels at certain ports where the vessel is not properly decommissioned and unsafe, the owners claim insurance and the traders get the metal. It's highly unfriendly to the environment as chemical waste and oil is leaked into the sea. Owners hence give instructions to crew to beach these vessels .

[@01DOGG01]

Awesome! But you were probably too mesmerised to notice the fire burning between the two ships.

[@jimkirk1971]

Wow...talk about "threading the needle"...that guy put that boat right between those two!! Nice skills!!

[@RIGeek.]

Anyone else notice the fire burning between the 2 ships docked?

[@jordanjor5]

+XboxorMat probably used to signal where the boat should go

[@SeniorMilkshakes]

+XboxorMat The smoke allows the captain to find the exact spot

[@chribismalabyte6945]

pretty sure it's a signal fire.

[@Sewov]

+Christopher Malachite GONDOR CALLS FOR AID!

[@areneesouder]

I just wanna know why they kept coming. Was it their intention to scrap that big beautiful ship?or was that a great big oops?

[@jacktarr1233]

"Pride of Calais"......The Last breath.

[@olzenheimr]

Outstanding! I wonder how long it was until they found a way to deboard.

[@johnmills3679]

So sad. I've worked on this ship in the distant pass.

[@Epicwinstudios2]

This video needs more Lovejoy.

[@avoqado89]

"Let me sing you the song of my people!"

[@BamBoy88]

Should have kept recording, they were about to push it back into the sea.

[@SimonTonekham]

does this remind you of that scene from the film "Speed 2: Cruise Control"?

[@Shawn89223]

R.I.P Campfire :(

[@thesevenseas]

Great and sad footage! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.

[@stevethanos4182]

Wasn't that the Costa Concordia captain behind the wheel?

[@hyperu2]

Welp, the fire's out.

[@1234567890sunshine]

I've seen other boats do this, which leads me to believe it was intensional. However, why would they leave those other boats in the way??? There's no way he wasn't going to hit them...

[@GeneralBadLuck]

to keep it from tipping over right away

[@MyatUte]

My guess is it's a salvage yard.

[@Beneaththeboughs]

[phone]sunshine As all the boats are being scrapped it don't think hitting them is a major issue.

[@1234567890sunshine]

Why would that boat be scrapped though. It looks great

[@Artmusic39]

Нда... А по нашим меркам это судно вала идеальном техническом состоянии...

[@Loleo2087]

Only in Battlefield.

[@MattTheTubaGuy]

Holy ship, that was bigger than I expected!

[@hwsuns]

А у нас еще бы использовался 20 лет.

[@mordechai-]

It looks to me like the skipper fell asleep at the wheel.

[@XfStef]

so ship much beaching WOW !

[@philtomasbrs]

you total imbecile

[@XfStef]

jimmy clark welcome to the internet ...

[@philtomasbrs]

XfStef Not only is doge pointless, it got ruined by American congress. Yet you're still using it so I think I should be welcoming you to the 'internet'.

[@XfStef]

jimmy clark not only that I don't live in 'Murica but I wouldn't care if I did and I knew about it anyway ... it's a great meme, and if you're biggest issue in life is people posting meme inspired comments on youtube, I think you need to reevaluate your priorities ;)

[@philtomasbrs]

XfStef When did I ever say that was my biggest issue in life? My problem is with plagiarism - why do you think so many people are posting negative stuff about you, your comments and your videos? You do come from one of the most boring places in the World though, so it's understandable.

[@dhyanais]

What are the worker going to do that approach the ship at the end of the video? Climb it? Cut it?

[@DersimLondon]

Thinking outside the box, I like it.

[@ZorrroUK]

now...how do they get down?

[@Emin3m1986]

The ship is gonna be scrapped ?!?

[@colinashby3775]

Now that’s what I like to see, a almost full power beaching

[@mh87351]

that has gotta feel so wrong from the captains perspective.

[@DaveNParker]

What was he thinking trying to get that cruise liner into a compact space!

[@brandontheman4727]

why did they build the cement in his way?

[@20anetka]

Haha aż mi się przypomniała scena z "Madagaskaru" jak pingwiny zakosiły człowiekom te statek i zaparkowały na plaży xD

[@jonmortermusic]

How does the captain get out of the ship?

[@danielfantino1714]

He was cut up with the ship. A captain never leave its vessel.

[@almcken]

it looks like a nice boat? why are you scraping it?

[@robinwatkinson1498]

That was a good one!!!!!!!

[@dece4547]

"so this is where i die"

[@cartwright420able]

I could drive that on to the beach. No drug testing right?

yeee boooyyyy

[@rxprxsxnt]

It was a perfect landing!

[@ADAKAR83]

I dont know but as capitan in that moment I see Jeremy Clarkson screaming : "POWER !!"

[@laurabarbo]

Are planes being brought to be scrapped the same way?

[@Nfarce]

Due to the fact that they actually have to be flown into their place of scrapping like a regular airplane (cheaper to fly them to a "boneyard" as it's called for aircraft than disassemble it and truck it or train it to the scrapping facility), the answer is no.

[@stucat]

LIKE A GLOVE

[@justwatching918]

Hell yeah. Pollute that water and do unsafe things! Sick vid bro...

[@evergriven7402]

looks like it had many more years of life ...could it have been repurposed ?

[@Teapotstore]

Как можно такой корабль на кладбище?

[@anlacombe]

the boat is being scrapped,, they beach it then cut it up with torches

[@adk_88]

This is what happens when you let your wife drive the boat.

[@obd]

Casual misogyny is so trendy right now.

[@ParCheesy]

obd "People saying things they don't really mean in joke format? Nah, must be misogyny." -Idiots

[@ParCheesy]

***** Well I like to think humor can show people just how stupid it is to be sexist, racist, homophobic, etc by the sheer ridiculous nature of the statements. Maybe I put too much faith in humanity when I assume the majority of the people who make these jokes in an obvious joke format don't actually believe in the things they say, and that others can discern the difference (or at least, if the "comedians" ARE serious, be able to shake their heads and understand how stupid that viewpoint is). Long story short: The actual jokes and their content can be racist, sexist, and the like. The difference lies in whether or not its intended effect was negative (or neutral/positive). That being said, there is such a thing as doing something in good taste, which many people don't have when they make jokes like this. The reason I replied in a vitriolic way to obd is because I assumed (perhaps wrongly, and if so I apologize) that they believe the first commenter is actually misogynist which is a serious judgment call on a person I cannot make from a simple joke (if they are, truly, it is my mistake). It has seemingly become so common recently on the internet to just call people misogynist outright, and I flew off the handle. That said, I believe my message is still valid.

[@ParCheesy]

The whole concept of satire revolves around the fact that it is a gross exaggeration of the subject at hand in an attempt to bring attention to it. Think of Dave Chappelle doing "white face" on his defunct sketch show. Was he attempting to perpetuate and justify racism against black people? Was he attempting to continue some peoples' prejudices against white people? Or was it something else? The basic formula in all of comedy is that someone ends up suffering in some way; either minute or large, imagined or tangible. Does the "justifying prejudice" opinion apply to all humor for you? Or just the areas you deem convenient for your ideals? On the grander scale: A person is a fool if they judge a person absolutely based solely on one something so trivial as race, gender, orientation. If comedy adversely affects someone in a negative way, enough to make them see these imagined merits of prejudice, they were stupid all along. What you've implied is that everything is black and white in this area of communication, and that humor does not ever do as I've said. That's too absolutist for me, and I will never see it that way. Anyway. I respect your opinion enough to understand that I am not likely going to change it. It's mostly about learning of other viewpoints and I have seen viewpoints similar to yours enough recently to know that this isn't going to go anywhere nicer. So farewell and, if you respond, I will read it but I may not reply.

[@hajkie]

chief of the demolishing yard later admitted he just wanted to put out a fire in style.

Twenty years later and Speed 2 still can't do anything right.

Wonder what's on the lunch buffet: permission to come aboard, Captain?

[@MrSamcab21]

This ship was being stored in Tilbury docks essex before being piloted by a friend of mine to turkey to be scrapped .. i first saw it about 2 years ago when it sailed up the river thames with its livary unfinished on route to tilbury before it was announced on the news that the ferry company had gone into administration.. what a waste of a perfectly good ship.
