Thank you very much for this video Alec. You took some time and made a nice video that shows nicely what happened. I did a similar video in 2011 about the MT Phoenix tanker which was refloated. Took two months. I also edited it and put a narrative to it to describe it in some detail. It is worth it and makes it something we can be proud of. Well done!!!

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Christiaan Kleynhans hi.. thanks and I will watch your work too. Yes, this video took nearly 3 weeks. Horrible time I spent. They finally pulled the ship at about 9pm. I could not video that. Too dark.. hummm.

[@scootin123]

Christiaan Kleynhans.how is your video listed or titled on you Tube I would I Ike to take a look

[@scootin123]

Alex forever so I take it that they swung the bow around to shove it forward out to deep water. Did they pull the tanker with cables from the big barge ? Did the 3 excavator actually help to slide the tanker over the samd.

Absolutely amazing they got it done! When I saw them start with these oversized garden diggers, it became interesting. No tug to pull it afloat, no sand pumps... Amazing. I only hope nobody got killed... If so, good job but a lucky strike. It was very dangerous; guys standing by that rusty anchor chain being lifted and put under tension... Guys walking around the wreckage by incoming and outgoing tide and not being sucked underneath... Scary stuff..

[@ChileThailandtravel]

You are correct. It was restricted area. But people just ignore it. The risk was there every minutes being sucked by sinking sand. hide tide and falling debris even iron steel from the ship. but people did not bother much. they ship engineers even put up some fence but i did not put the videos since it will consume more time and editing. no one was killed but some hide tide incident that nealry washed away those tent and so on. but overall it was a scary operation during the tractor digging the sand to allow more sea water to circle the ship. thanks..

Enjoyed your film..well done looks like a really difficult job in rough seas. Take care. LIKED.

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Thanks.. Actually the top engineers there did not encourage to video it. I think may be they tried to avoid publicity. The weather was bad always. Raining n hot sun. The ship stranded so far from my house. I had to cross into minor jungles to reach this place. Not a safe. Place too. I was doing it without any prior information but lately met friends that willing to help to update me. The process took two weeks with many fail attempts. Dangerous too. The last day you can see it was already on the right direction but I was not informed early that the next night they going to finish it. All of sudden my friend called me at 8.30pm that the sea level is high and they going to pull it that night. But since after 7pm no taxi goes there and I was sad that it was too late night. They pulled the ship that night. Around 9pm. Every minutes few inches it move into sea. Pain to sit and watch. But the last footage shows it was the last position and the night was the time they pulled.

[@ChileThailandtravel]

But actually even if I was there at 9pm. I still won't be able to shoot it.. Since my camera are not mend for night vision. Complete darkness. So, my intention was to show to people how this ship was pulled. Thanks for cheering.

[@stevek3036]

Great Job, well done to all those that took part. A continual on-shore wind made the job very difficult fighting against the ship but the excavators made it work. More please

[@ChileThailandtravel]

It took more then 2 week..the crane that suppose to pull, the cable attached snapped. may be the ship was tooooo heavy for the tug boat to pull. who whole process dragged from days ot 2 weeks..hmmm..those crue was sleeping at the beach too. very hard working...

[@ochotv717]

pumping water under pressure under the hull would loosen the compacted sand ... for this one needs a horizontal drilling machine, pipes, and a few powerful water pumps or firetrucks

[@ChileThailandtravel]

There was many complains too. It took 2 weeks to drag it back to the sea. many failed attempts too. The sand they was digging was not a good idea since the next hour the sea brings back all the sand again to its place. you can see it. This clip was edited to make it fast. But actually 2 weeks i was there from morning till evening. i know the pain and i saw all. Thanks.

Incredible job well done. no tug for pulling. no ships dregger lovely they were work with good team even with limitation off tool and personal protection equipment, from beginning I have worried it for any incident but look like done according plan. One I miss it I really like to sea when the ship free afloat at sea and how she move it from stranding.

[@ChileThailandtravel]

It took more than 2 weeks. it suppose to be within 5 days work. Yes..as you said..limitations of equipment etc and also allocated budget. The last part of this video is the ending part. where they have managed to pulled towards the sea. They was waiting for high tide. The next night at about 8pm onwards..all of sudden they decided to pulled as the sea level rised. That area was very dark and it was near a small jungle and there is no lights at night. My friend called me about 7.30pm that they may pull the ship.. but it was too late. no cars or taxi will go there during after 7pm.. so..it was too dark and even if i went. I wont be able to video..complete darkness and the ship was moving inch by inch for about 3 hours or so...no way..at night i cant do it..thanks..

[@Browningate]

@Alex - If the "budget" was the issue, then why didn't they just sell it to those "shipbreaking" companies in India?

[@LindaTCornwall]

You realise this was the tanker that was hijacked right? I think it has more to do with the fact that the Thia owned tanker was like a reminder to a proud Thia bussiness. The Thia people are a very proud and respectful race much like the Japanese really in their life. They are a very different culture to their other Southeast Asian neighbours Vietnam on the one side and Burma the other!!

[@riohlongcayana428]

If I'm correct this place was in Songkhla Thailand.

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Rioh Longcayana yes! It was in Songhkla. I was there for nearly one month just for this video. It took about 3 week to finally pull the ship back. The last day, all of sudden they decided to pull the ship at about 8pm. No way I can go. So, the clip ends at it was.

Это была очень тяжелая работа. Потребовалось более 3 недель, чтобы вытащить корабль. Спасибо за комментарий.

[@AndreiAvenirovich]

Каким образом так получилось?

[@normandofashione3767]

Wow that is amazing!!!

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Thank you.

Hey Alex. Next time you upload a video, disable the comments so you don't have to put up with negative comments and criticism. You did a great job and took many risks to capture this salvage. No matter how hard you work and do your best, people are never happy and will complain. Thank you for the good recording.

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Dear Lee, thank you very much for your support and cheer. At least someone like you know exactly the situation facing us every time we go to video some events. Thanks you. I m happy to read your words of courage. Tks.

Why didn't you show me putting them in water?

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Thanks for the comment. I was there almost everyday for the whole 3 weeks..but.. the last day when i took the video.. they told me.. may be tomorrow when the hide tide is good. But.. they dragged to ship at about 8pm onwards.. It was too dark there and i was not able to video at night..but.. they use the same way to pull the ship.. as you saw in the beginning how they was pulling.. thanks again. it took about 2 hours plus they managed to drag the ship back to see..

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Took about 3 weeks to do this video. At the last moment. They pulled the ship during night time. Too dark for videos. thanks for the comment.

[@Crisismachines]

@@ChileThailandtravel You have been very patient for this video, so admirable

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Yes, every day i had to go for nearly 3 weeks. I had to take bus or taxi sometimes to reach here. 10 km from my house before. the sun was bad. my face was burned as well. hummm. i made this video for those people that really worked so hard. many of them had to sleep at the beach area. Thanks.

let me guess they scrapped her to pay back the company that dug her out because you know scrapping a perfectly fine ship for no good reason seems to be the answer these days?

[@ChileThailandtravel]

But not in this case. they repaired and this ship was sailing again but again was in news that this ship was captured by pirates while on the way to singapore or malaysia...i forgot. but this ship met another big hit..hmmm..
