Mammoet Salvage - Wreck removal of the SSV Jupiter 1

[@1958johndeere620]

Very refreshing to watch a video with no fake drama. Show the job, don't add the crap, very good. The way it should be presented.

[@pforce9]

I hate it when they try to drama it up by creating a nonexistent problem and then solving that problem.

[@johnjerman3421]

they added plenty of BS that had nothing to do with the Jupiter 1 wasn't you watching?

[@tihspidtherekciltilc5469]

Agree 💯

[@michaelvarble4392]

Mammoet has the most intelligent and capable people on earth and I love to watch the great work you do. And you NEVER give up no matter what the circumstances. Bravo

[@stanwiggins3423]

Mammoet has a long and storied history of performing major work in a safe, professional, and successful manner. Congratulations to all who were part of this effort.

[@mistersniffer6838]

Oil companys basically wrote them an open check. Not a big deal if you have all the money in the world.

[@nakedoffroad8518]

Amazing timeframes and achievements. To us layman the job looks mind boggling, to you guys it's just another day in the office. Well done

[@felixcat9318]

Very Well Said!

[@sunnmann3284]

Mammoet I've never seen something so incredible in the form of work not just engineering or the physics behind this this is the first time I've ever seen this video but being a worker on a job site I have to say this is incredible in the form of work one of my favorite sayings on the job is record time and I must say..... now that's what I'm talkin about

[@felixcat9318]

I suspect that the decision to take it out into deeper water and sink it was taken by the insurance companies underwriters rather than the salvage company.

[@willheyer5856]

Getting it into shallow enough water to salvage (Scrap) is not possible in the gulf shore without enviro damage ....well done !

[@granskare]

these Dutch firms are the best. Mammoet and Switzer and great.

[@dylandownard209]

It blows my mind that they were able to do that in 8 weeks. Most impressive.

[@demonknight7965]

Well MAMOET knows exactly what the hell they are doing. They have lots of experience with both salvage and extreme transportation. they have some geniuses working for them too.

[@paulgrimm342]

It sunk

[@markfuller9886]

The pontoon had a stress crack that started leaking and the weight of the water tore it open

[@fterrysmith6753]

Nice upload...Could the unit have been saved with earlier attempts to stabilize the accommodation unit or was this an unpreventable incident once the primary damage (leak?) occurred?

[@1978garfield]

I would love know exactly what happened to sink it. Reminded me of Ocean Ranger. I am glad in this case they evacuated in time.

[@demonknight7965]

developed hole in the pontoon likely due to metal fatigue. or maybe it hit a rock or something somewhere.

[@Jmp5nb]

Curious as to what “event” caused the initial loss of buoyancy. A ship strike, valve left open, or negligent operation?

[@the_grand_tourer]

Relying on two floating hulls, if one of which fails to this effect, why no bilge pumps ? Why no partitioned bulk heads ? Nuts.

[@kimdrikkjaerlaursen6879]

God job don, by a 100% dedicated company and crew.

[@elcam84]

Great video however much of the video has poor audio as the background music is louder than the voices making it hard to hear what is being said in parts of the video.

[@pforce9]

They don't realize that you don't need background music.

[@machineman7806]

What was the price tag on that??? Holy smoke

[@TheBigWWI]

Titan Salvage was an amazing company. They were the brains behind the Costa Concordia salvage. So sad they are no more.

[@BobSmith1980.]

I bet that was expensive.

[@galas455]

Background music was ok but a bit loud. Good video!

[@7891ph]

Is there a longer, more in depth video about this?

[@stanpatterson5033]

I don't know why instead of taking out to deeper waters, they couldn't have towed it back to port, and begun to scrap it.

[@bas6983]

Stan Patterson there are no real deep water ports in the US Gulf.

[@ke6gwf]

It was already falling apart, would not have made the trip, and there is no where around there that scraps such things, especially when it is hanging so deep in the water.

[@jamesgarrison6430]

Cost it cost way too much to scrap something then it does to go sink it

[@Zeknix]

Also, artificial reefs in the GoM does wonders for the ecosystem. It's amazing how much life they support. Just wish they put it in an area that had a depth of 200-300 ft. Would be an amazing place to fish.

[@paulgrimm342]

Cheaper to sink it.

[@MrAirblown2009]

Now this was an awesome accomplishment.

[@weld4200]

So my question is .these oil rigs always seem stationary.. Do they have props or motors to move around ?

[@wyattmealing]

Where is it now

[@davidh.andreotta94]

Did the rig have a high pressure air system to blow out the pontoon?

[@AR-ml9eo]

Nope.

[@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo]

I hope that the editors of this video do not continue adding such horrible background noise to an otherwise fine video. Silence of background music and noise is a good thing.

[@cw7784]

Why didn't they salvage it instead of sinking it

[@RubenLensvelt]

Probably because no expensive equipment on board. Cheaper to make new.

[@bikebros6769]

and it makes an artificial reef!

[@jamesgarrison6430]

As soon as it went into saltwater nothing on that was salvageable and all honesty it would cost way more to try and Salvage than it was to just sink it

I wish they had lowered the music level in the mix. It's annoying. Pity it's an interesting project.

[@nathandean1687]

scuttle all that iron in deep sea. bring that boat to land . then salvage the whole thing.

[@MrMattumbo]

That's really expensive to do and there are only a few places in the world that do it anymore due to the hazardous conditions such salvage creates for workers and the environment. They would've had to tow that whole thing across the Atlantic to have it salvaged economically and of course, they could not have done that without flipping the thing and with its catamaran design that would've been a giant operation using huge cranes. Nope, cheaper to just sink it safely and take whatever the insurance will cover, not like we'll ever run out of iron anyway.

[@hevendor958]

you do know they clean the ships out when they sink them also in the video they remove the Oil and fuel DO YOU NEED TO READ A BOOK

[@anthonyxuereb792]

It seems to me SSV Jupiter 1 was of poor design. It's an accommodation platform housing nearly 800 personnel yet as soon as it springs a leak it capsizes. I just don't get it how the design was approved. The loss of life could have been horrendous.

[@woooster17]

Agree.. there should have been secondary, back up redundant systems in place to avoid this, surely? Multiple giant airbags that inflate to keep it from actually rolling?

[@anthonyxuereb792]

@@woooster17 Agree, there is a good case for the use of giant airbags for maritime use and in other areas too.

i am very surprised they didn't at least salvage it for scrap. To me it seems quite wasteful

I Don't see why they Scuttled it ! Insurance probably said to heck with it theres you Claim Check and then got out of the Off Shore Busness ! Other wise it would have been interesting to see the Rig Righted back to Upright but It would have cost too much,,, who decides these things was it the Mex's Rigs ?

[@countteddy]

now that is a tie........

[@DomManInT1]

And no one flooded the opposite pontoon to balance the vessel. Bay of Campeche is only about 180 feet deep. LOL

[@matthewrogers94mr]

I still ask why the heck are we drilling in the ocean when we can drill on land and contain the spill alot better and prevent major spills from happening and less ecological impact, also try to find something better then oil thats better for the inviromeant!

[@patrickspringer6534]

Didn't like the background music. The documentary could stand on its own.

Totally bonkers that the companies just decided it wasn't worth anything, and then just sunk it in the ocean rather than clean up their garbage.

Man i cant believe they raised it, just to sink it again. They should of towed it to shore, and cut it up for scrap. That would of been millions in scrap metal.

Strange !kept this one very quiet wonder why?.., .

[@RU-zm7wj]

OOOooo... it's a conspiracy, John! Beware!

[@ke6gwf]

Probably because it wasn't sensational, so the news ignored it. No one was hurt or died, it was in Mexico, and it didn't cause a spill.

[@TheRebelOne.]

Great rescue until I heard the word "scuttle".........!

[@The_JEB]

As unfortunate as it is to scuttle it into the water, it can be used by the fish and other sea animals as artificial reef, which isnt an uncommon practice.

[@ke6gwf]

No benefit to anyone to not scuttle it, and since it was breaking up, and had all the oils and such removed from it, no harm to anything by scuttling it.

[@MrMattumbo]

@@ke6gwf Plus ship breaking is really bad for the workers and the environment, the only places that do it economically are 3rd world. Better for everybody to clean it up and send it to Davie Jones rather than tow that thing hundreds or even thousands of miles to be scrapped by poor people with little to no safety equipment while polluting their local waterfront. That or have to pay a shit ton of money to an American firm to do it safely. Either way, it's way better to scuttle.

[@frankvandendool882]

@@MrMattumbo Don't you have something better to do? The ships aren't the problem, the scrapping isn't the problem either. The problem begins with MONEY, again. They scrap the ships where it is cheapest. Wich happens to be third world country's, because there are NO rules. It is definitely possible to scrap ships safely. Everybody that claims otherwise is an idiot. It IS possible, it's just not cheap to do safely. That's where 3rd world country's come in. Don't understand me wrong. I'm NOT condoning this, but it is what happens. It's stupid to throw all that iron away too. Iron WILL run out too.

Because cutting underwater is how people die, even when well planned out.

Im an underwater welder . and ill tell u first hand . u do not want to cut underwater in conditions like this . . currents .lose metal. Crude oil . none of that stuff mixes well along with the swells. Also . as soon as u cut something free you have to be on the look out for anything else that could crush u . or get tangled on ur airline . .plus cutting piece by piece would take way to long . better to work from the surface pull it away and drop her free in deep water .. They did everything flawlessly . unless ur an underwater welder .you dont rele know how dangerous this all could be

It was managed by Mexico you tool. Owned by U.S. company, but operated and leased by Mexico. They removed all the toxic material and deep sixed it to save cost. It is a reef now being used by gulf species as habitat. Everything on that pontoon came from the earth and Mother Nature will reclaim it. Stop using electricity and riding that motorcycle. All parts are either made of or use of oil.

[@FriendsAtParty]

Art Bridgeman before writing things that you don’t know about, you should learn a little bit about antifooling, that’s one of the most toxic material, but for sure, it’s an artificial reef 100% no toxic. What a pack of shit that you’re writing.
