Salvage of vessel by ALP tug

Motorvessel 'Andermatt' was encountering engine failure. Due to the quick response of the ALP tug 'ALP Winger' the Andermatt arrived safely in the harbour of Las Palmas the next day. THIS VIDEO HAS COPYRIGHT, DO NOT SHARE WITHOUT PERMISSION. TIA J. Dootjes

2 things: 1) Why not approach from starboard to be in the lee of the swell 2) If there's doubt the cable eye will fit through the hawse pipe send the cable with 20 ft (?) of 1 1/2" chain shackled to the end. That should be enough for them to get it to the bit. 3) Compressed air or powder line gun. Send them that baby from 30 yards out Okay, that's 3. 12 years ABS towing fuel oil out of NYC, which more than once were sent to lasso a barge adrift. My first capt was a former salvage guy, and he told us a lot of lies, and taught us to tie a bowline in a parted 4" wire. It's about a 4 foot eye, we captured the thimble tite to the end with a couple of Crosby clamps and were good to go. It made a real nice proper eye, and the bend just cinched itself into a solid knot When we limped into Norfolk with a new spool waiting the old timer running the picker pulling the wire off our winch said, "Looks like there's an old salvage man aboard" and had one of his men burn off the eye and hang it on the side of the shed. No lie👍

This is a very good video, of a job which I performed many times previously , on the Irving Cedar, Irving Miami , and many anchor handling tugs. I noticed a few items which occur frequently on many tow boat back decks .Crew members stepping out from the crashrail/bulwarks/barrier while a loaded wire is lying on deck, and hard hats failing off , where a chin strap strap can prevevt that occurrence, No matter how small a complaint may be, by solving it could save a life

[@timtwichell1534]

Fantastic footage of the work, shows how rough a job it is. Very good rough sea action Great Job by the ALP Crews.

[@archiehitler5264]

You haven't a clue how to make a salvage then if you believe they did a great job!

[@janisrcdronepilot1405]

Quite a challenging conditions for connection. Well done! 👍👍👍

Ocean-going tugs are amazing! Thanks for sharing the video.

[@JanDootjes]

Thanks for the comment Bruce!

[@UQRXD]

That ship really rocks and rolls a lot. Best job I ever had an ocean going tug.

[@sharkamov]

This job is done exactly by the book. (Though, today most such operations involves the use of a compressed air 'Line-thrower' to catapult the first of two guidelines.) Authentic footage there *J* !👍

[@jackflotta]

are you sure? he approached from upwind, had to get reeeeeally close cause they use heaving line insted of line thrower with such a swell, on deck they were running in a bit of chaos...

[@peterwoods5310]

Interesting the hi-grip special red paint on the tug after deck.

The amount of water on the deck of the tug is crazy, I hope those lads are on good money, you'd not see me doing anything like that for less than £50 a day!

dingle dooley Engineers and skippers is 10 times that, more or less. These are very good jobs. Retirement jobs. Raise a family, buy a house jobs. Something that is hard to find anymore. I worked on AHTS’s for about 8 years before coming inside to work harbor tugs.

[@nickjohns1192]

$50 a day Wouldn get out of bed for that

[@mactcampbell]

That isn't that bad a day. Light gale at best. I can remember pulling anchors in 50 knots on the Grand Banks when there was field of drift ice drifting towards the rig.

[@Mountchoirboy]

Never saw this before and gotta say it was awesome to watch, At first I'm thinking "that line is never gonna hold" then I realize it was a guide line (maybe has an "official" name but guide works for me) Good work!

Brave men of the sea 🌊 well done guys 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@raeanker3078]

I'm just a dummy but why doesn't the vessel being rescued throw a line with buoys attached and the more manoeuvrable tug that is closer to the waterline and set up for retrieval them pull the line to them ?

[@mikewebb4730]

I had the same thought. Position the tug down-wind and down-swell of the ship. The ship drops a line with floats into the water and the tug retrieves it.

[@mikewalrus4763]

Nice little bit of salvage there - but with five on deck you must have the cook out on deck as well!

[@JanDootjes]

No, cook was in the galley haha. Kinda large crew on a ocean going tug.

[@mikewalrus4763]

@@JanDootjes s'funny all the ones I was on ran with a crew of about 12 - this gave us abouy three on deck at most, and one of those would be the mate/2nd mate!

[@JanDootjes]

@@mikewalrus4763 The ALP Vessels crew exist out of the following ranks: - Captain - Chief mate - 2nd mate - 3rd mate -Chief eng. -2nd eng. -3rd eng. -elec. officer -fitter -Oiler -wiper -wiper -bosun -AB -AB -OS -Deckboy -Cook -Messman -Cadet -Cadet

[@mikewalrus4763]

@@JanDootjes Phew thats a fair sized crew, most UK AHTS (which basically do the same thing plus extra) run with Master, mate and second mate. Chief engineer and second engineer, Cook and three deck hands (AB's / OS's) + extra engineer and one or two deckhands if working anchors / towing. Some may have a cadet onboard as well. Your extra hands sound very useful if expensive and that's the problem - long may your owners pay for them as well (it is their profit after all)

[@johnswimcat]

You need to have the right stuff to do this kind of thing. Very dangerous work. I guess it's these guys' choice to work without safety harnesses but Jeez that's risky stuff...

[@sundarraju8383]

Very Useful video

[@brustar5152]

When the tug hand ran to catch the monkey's fist thrown from the carrier, he was risking his very life to grab aline that should have been thrown correctly in the first place making the retrieve the line to throw it again would have been the appropriate action here. I thought every ship today of a minimum tonnage had a line launcher in a locker somewhere as coast guard required equipment?

[@patocuac9385]

Gracias por el video camaradas mercantes, se quedo sin maquina al que remolcan. Quiero ver mas

[@longtabsigo]

Was it a salvage? Or was it contracted assistance? I thought salvage only happens if the vessel is abandoned...just curious

[@mikewebb4730]

What is the square hatch in the tug's deck just forward of the fairlead? Did the cover-plate come loose? Looks like a real danger to the crew working the deck

[@JanDootjes]

In that space is a strong point welded. That's where a pulley is connected so you can connect a gogwire to it to hold the tow wire between the cargorails.

[@mikewebb4730]

Thanks, understood. Would still think it should have a cover-plate when not in use.

[@houktanhdanhi2352]

wow that is some swell as at 0.26 you can see the deck becoming wet of that ship and the water rises the full part of its free board, if it's doing that with a ship this size imagine what it's like in a smaller boat

[@bogthing1]

Coming along side to a Jacob's ladder etc. in that sea state, in a smaller boat is nerve-wracking, I can assure you.

Thanks for the info. I wondered why it's named after a small town of my country. But the ribbon in front of the ship looks like "Bern", but andermatt is in "Uri"?

[@indigo_enigma]

Look at the state of that ship. It looks like its been adrift for years.

[@dingledooley9283]

Yup, looks a bit tatty

[@gulfstream-tvstudios9546]

nooo,... compared to other ships out in the oceans , this looks like brand new...

[@Cornell851]

This might be a daft question but isn't the tug giving a tow, how is it a salvage??.

[@JanDootjes]

That cargo vessel lost propulsion and was drifting away. In the tugboat community we call it an 'Salvage operation' since it wasn't a pre-planned tow job.

[@Cornell851]

[@surejsrsr113]

Superb team

[@hughvane]

Who else was screaming at the crew on board the Andermatt to get their collective finger out and secure the tow line? I know those tugmen are highly competent - but working without tether lines? To me that's not brave, it's foolhardy.

[@brustar5152]

If the level of activity shown by the carrier's deck crew is indicative of all-round dedication to maintenance, no wonder the engine quit.

[@Aivar09]

Oh! Swiss sailors! - Andermatt. Rare fact.

[@martindao3820]

WOW thanks much for sharing!!!

[@cadlac59]

Awesome to watch great seamanship. Did she suffer any damage?

[@JanDootjes]

The Andermatt had an engine failure and wasn't able to sail under own power. So the Winger did need to come to the rescue and tow her to the nearest port (Las Palmas) where she could be fixed again. Jan

[@cadlac59]

IGNITE FUEL , thanks for that. Good to see a safe outcome

[@ole-johnnyaas929]

Hvorfor ble ikke redningsutstyret ombord brukt, utskytning av redningslinne, istedenfor å ligge å kjøre frem og tilbake, jeg bare spør.Why dident they used their safety equipment onboard, shooting over a safetyline, in stead moving their ship forward and againt the ships side.

Interesting how this ship ended up with a name of a Swiss village... By the way, I tell it because I actually live in Switzerland, though not precisely in that village. xD
