The trouble with sand, is the wetter it gets, the heavier it gets, the heavier it gets the lower the boat sinks, the lower the boat sinks the wetter the sand gets.

Thats not all - its also coarse and irritating and gets everywhere, I don't like sand.

Dit is geen spuitzand, hij zit niet vlak vol, en kan dus wel degelijk zinken, en snel ook. Pompen? Wat er met 1 golf in komt, moet hij er met een half uur weer uit pompen. En inderdaad geen geblindeerde ramen. Met mijn ervaring op zowel zee- als binnenvaart en zowel droge-lading als beunschepen weet ik er misschien toch wel iets van. Als de golven iets ongunstiger aankwamen had hij met een paar tellen weg kunnen zijn.

[@josephinebennington7247]

I know these little bund ships are designed to work like this, but I’d love to know why the tugboat behaves as if it is concerned for the little ship.

[@ats-3693]

They are designed to sit low and carry heavy loads with little freeboard, but they do have a limit to the weight they can carry before the total mass of the barge and its cargo exceeds the mass of the water it displaces and it sinks, dry sand with no water in the spaces between the grains is far lighter than wet sand with the spaces between the grains full of water, the tug boat is there because he's talking to the barges skipper on the radio who is no doubt pretty worried about the amount of water the waves are putting into his hoppers.

[@josephinebennington7247]

Aaah, a good answer. Seems the bundschip skipper was a bit concerned by then as well as the tug skipper.

[@ats-3693]

[@chuckfinlay6093]

I’m ex British merchant navy and have seen these vessels whilst visiting Hollandshire 😋but never seen one so low in the water when that sea state. Something got the Skipper spooked when he/she cane hard to port and slowed down, the tug that was on the Starboard quarter then got involved by closing in on its stern rather quickly, lots of black smoke from tuggy and guessing it got exciting/scary after that. Can anyone shine a light on the outcome and I’m assuming aslong as everything is clipped and watertight both aft and forward then it’s standard practice to batter on into rough water with zero free board?
