There is a very understandable misunderstanding here. Namely, Dutch vs Deutsch. In the USA, we refer to the Netherlands (Nederlands) as the Dutch people, who speak the Dutch language. We refer to the Deutschland as Germany, and the people as Germans, who speak the German language.

Every fishing vessel breaks down or something crucial to fishing at least.They take such a beating while working, even when not work they are in a harsh salty environment. I grew up on Long Island in NY and the salty air rusted stuff quickly.

[@haraldpettersen3649]

@@derekrohan9619 - I grew up on the coast of Norway, and have lived here for over half a century. The sea is salty here too, but there are no accidents or anything falling apart on every other trip. We have very hard conditions with storms and large wave heights since we fish in the North Sea and by Greenland and the North Ice. But fortunately we rarely have serious accidents, but then we also have strict controls of ships and equipment, and highly qualified sailors. But then we also have a very good sea rescue service in case something unfortunate should happen

[@anderspettersson2958]

This is pelagic fishing, in the free water column, not close to the bottom. Sonars helps to determine which species of fish the schools consists of, so they can target herring pretty well. But of course there's bycatch. We saw the guy filleting a whiting for example.

Totally agree, They just don't want to change there ways as the technology does exist...i mean trawling is one of worst and has been proven. I watched a doco recently about the regulations and enforcement and they basically said we can't put officials on boats anymore as too many go missing out at sea and the only option is what some places are doing and using the military and private companies to control the fishing (but then you get pirates)...To me its like when people say the UN should step they can't as they rely on countries armies and if they don't want to help its shit...yet you don't seem them embargo countries anymore that do bad shit.

As a Marine Engineer Grade 2 myself, losing the rudder is purely a lack of maintainence,, when the ship was in dry dock, the rudder post and prop shaft should have been pulled out and checked for fractures,,,, this is the companies fault by trying to save a few dollars by not doing it,, the result, loss of income, cost of tugs, more dry dock fees and cost of repairs to the vessel,, doing so in the first place would have been a fraction of the cost of losing the rudder

[@alexkollias5405]

it is very weird tho, german companies are supposed to have high standards and dutch shipyards are also supposed to be top notch

[@johnattersley2135]

As a marine engineer and surveyor for many years and, having seen failures of different sorts, the loss of a rudder is unusual. I would suggest that before making a statement "purely lack of maintenance" that you further investigate and determine the cause of what appears to have been the rudder stock failure. Experience will tell you that the root cause of a casualty or failure is often not what appears to be your first thought without all the facts. More facts would have been uncovered during the investigation. For example what was seen of the rudder stock fracture surface? When was the rudder stock last removed for inspection per Class requirements? What inspections on the rudder stock during the last examination were carried out? UT, MPI etc.? What metalurgical analysis was carried out on the fracture surface? Keep your mind open until you have all of the facts. If you know more facts from your personal examination or observations then you may speak with some knowledge, if not then your suggestion of cause is a bit premature. Perhaps, Welt has followed up and can provide additional findings to the viewers of this well done documentary.
