Geweldig mooie beelden van een geweldig mooi schip, heb ze alle drie in het echt kunnen bewonderen, jammer dat dit soort schepen door krenterige managers worden wegbezuinigd, toen was Smit nog een wereldnaam. Zeeslepers hebben toch iets speciaals!

Wow-my Dad was an oil rig electrician for Sedco back in the late 70's, he said lightning would strike the tower of the rig and he had to repair the light fixture swinging back n" fourth in the North Atlantic.

I worked the AHTS Ocean Fin, from March 84 to Spt. 86 when we took the Ocean Odysea ( sister to the capsized Ocean Ranger ) to the Bering Sea. We worked her, the Sedco 712 and I believe the 702, Diamon M had some rigs there as well. We were under tow in the Bering Sea, when a storm hit us and we had no choice but to drop the tow. The rig dropped all her anchors and spent 3 days in that one storm dragging anchors in heavy sea state. We were tossed around hard in that Storm. Folks who have never sailed in 40 - 60 ft seas, just have no clue what it is like. Cameras just can not do it justice. All you still sailing. Stay safe out there and God Bless you all.

@@jwray9946 seen it. 35 years with MSC MILITARY-SEALIFT-COMMAND, Department of, of the Navy. I retired Captain, any tonnage, 2 years 3 1/2 months ago. I graduated from King‘s Point United States merchant Marine Academy, class,of 74. Some of the finest group of men I’ve ever met in my life, go to Sea. And some of the absolute worst dredges of society are out there and they have no business whatsoever being there. When something don’t go their way they don’t think of nothing of getting a medical and getting off. More than one ship I was sent to to clean it up. Clean it out. And I did. So did Captain Norman Rancourt II Maine Maritime Graduate. So was Benard Anderson from Maine Maritime. By the book. I had no trouble whatsoever jerking these pieces of scum, up off there, “Oh So Close!!” so close to a free flight home from Trondheim! Tromso! Singapore! Yokosuka, Japan. Kobe Yokosuka Japan. The list, is long. Different port towns that if I would’ve done like a lot of captains just kept my mouth shut he would have been able to continue milking the system. For thousands and thousands of dollars. So, he was fired. FIRED. There wasn’t nothing wrong with him and I told him whatever you do don’t cross me because you’re going to lose. He did. I will do to you what we call, “pencil whipping” You to death. Here in America. I drowned his ass, each one, in forms, paperwork, Motion after motion after motion. Talk about a paper 📑 chase!!

Yes, I can well imagine how that feels. I can still remember the radio interviews we had with the South African Coast Gard to possibly evacuate the people. Fortunately, this had a happy ending.

We are running away from the wind, but against the current (Agulhas). wave height somtimes 18 meters. I tried to catch those high waves on camera . More important was watching the tensionmeter from the towwire , wich was going to 300 tonnes + I still have the pics. from the weather chart a nice saddle area and the radio conversation with the South African Coast Guard. ;-)

It's amazing how hurricane force winds and corresponding sea state don't look all that threatening from the bridge of the big tug. That ship looks like it can go to hell and back and survive! :-)

You are right, it is difficult to capture in the movie what the situation is really like. It's only exciting for us on board, because we also have tension meters on the towing wire. These show us how many tons the tow line is loaded with. These increase from 70 tons to 200 tons plus. Then you ask yourself, how long is this going well. I can tell you that is quite exciting.

Nee, we zijn Port Elisabeth wel 2 maal gepasseerd omdat we door de stroom weer teruggezet werden. Maar Durban was onze eerste stop na Abidjan waar we ook een stop hadden gehad omdat in Liberia net een burgeroorlog was uitgebroken .

+Martin Tregoning Filming or photographing heavy seas from a ship, never shows the true state of the sea. I worked in the Great Australian Bight, which can, and did, produce 30m seas, but the photos taken were embarrassing to show, The only way to show to good effect is to film another ship in rough conditions.
