Ship Launch Fail: Rope Snaps during launch of SCOT EXPLORER

During the ship launch of Scot Explorer at the Royal Rodewes shipyard in Hoogezand, The Netherlands on October 11, 2019, a line at the stern of the ship snaps. Then, the hull collided several times with the concrete quay wall. Both the paint and the quay wall were visibly damaged.

I'll bet there have been hundreds of launches from that shipyard with no damage to ships or the quay wall. Someone should have inspected the mooring ropes, as those things don't snap unless they are already damaged. That's something boat building safety department should be looking into.

Klasse Aufnahmen. Als ich vor gut einem Jahr zum Stapellauf des Schwesterschiffes SCOT CARRIER an gleicher Stelle war, ist ebenfalls die Leine zum Heck an der Steuerbordseite gerissen. Und dieses Mal waren die Schäden größer als damals, wie man in deinem Video sehen kann. Erstaunlich, dass man dort aus Fehlern offenbar nicht gelernt hat. Gruß Unimedien.

[@HD1080ide]

Ich habe mir dein Video von der Scot Carrier noch einmal angesehen. Dort haben sie viel mehr Leine gegeben und trotzdem ist die Leine wie ein Bindfaden gerissen. Vielleicht ist die Leine einfach zu dünn.

I’m surprised they don’t have old tyres along the concrete rampart to avoid contact between the rampart and the ships hull.

[@simonm1447]

It seems it's luckily only the paint, it don't look like if it's got a dent. Next time they probably put old truck tires on the side of the wall to prevent something like this.

[@rapturebound197]

Yes..you're so right. Considering how those ships get launched sideways into a narrow concrete channel I would have thought that entire wall would have rubber cushioning. How stupid really!

They should use Metalic-Line or Chain instead of Nylon-Line...... and should use Rubber Bellows on other side. One time expense but it can avoid the future accidents.

[@Flozman1982]

Great camera positioning and setup. Seems to be a common practice with ship builders to build ships larger than they can ideally handle, without the cost of having to expand the facilites. Makes good viewing.

I am not an expert on ship launching, but shouldn't they put a few large rubber bumpers on the opposite side of the canal to protect the ship if it should happen to drift over that far. Those few tires hanging on the side were pretty ineffective.

[@ctwentysevenj6531]

Why they don't have massive tyres along the quay to cushion any contact?

[@Tarawa1943]

Never understood why you would launch a ship sideways from a shipyard, either dry dock or backward launch and within a small channel to maneuver. Dangerous if a hawser snap on that tugboat crewman.
