Superyacht CRASHES Into Massive Cruiseship! | SY News Ep415

I am an ex-professional mariner. When I read or hear of maritime companies, or any company delinquent with pay for staff or workers, I immediately think:"I bet management got paid"😅

SuperYacht of the Year Submissions ( plural) : 1)Project Luminance that finally launched this year ( I for one like it more than Nord … it’s like a bigger Kismet it you will) 2) Feadship Project 821 : the slightly larger than Launchpad ship made for bill gates that supposedly runs on hydrogen ( I’ll believe it when it does a crossing to the Bahamas on hydrogen power) Glad to see YachtSpot back !

[@anibaldamiao]

The speed is said by crew to make it easier in seastates caused by 50 knots winds. Google it’s name

[@Richard-pe4cx]

control issues ,very diplomatic !

[@AlbertHess-xy7ky]

All collisions are due to a loss of steering.

[@godlyobject6509]

Honestly, looking at it, given the speed and lack of course correction, it really does look like something failed. You don't take that heading, at that speed, if everything is working.

[@davedavids9619]

@Richard-pe4cx if you pay attention you can see the engines are not running, so for some reason this boat became adrift and collided with the cruise ship.

[@sunnyd4125]

Why didn't they place buoys immediately?

[@davedavids9619]

@@sunnyd4125 I only see one person on the bow onboard the Nordhavn, no idea if there was someone else. One thing they could and should have done is drop the anchor, but that was not done either. So I hope we will here soon what was going on and why no actions were taken to avoid this collision.

That's the big Nordhavn 120, the one and only. Aurora has had a very legally contentious life, so I guess this continues.

[@alexnutcasio936]

Nord is still NOT a SuperYacht

[@antbear63]

@@alexnutcasio936 That's for sure!

[@revluc]

The owner who bought 120, first buyer backed out, had his 86' (?) Nordhavn before the 120 hit a ship on delivery if memory serves.

[@antbear63]

@@revluc Yes. Then there was years of litigation concerning the owner being unhappy about the boat, if I remember correctly, which almost bankrupted Nordhavn. I blamed the owner. If you want a superyacht, buy a superyacht.

[@giovannagallottini]

@@antbear63 Some yacht owners have more fun litigating than actually using the yacht. This is actually a business hazard for yacht builders.

Even with a steering malfunction, one would think that the throttle would work as well as the gear controls.

[@marcgatto9675]

Am a big fan of Nordhavn. Superbly engineered and constructed vessels.The benchmark of the trawler class. Looks like an unfortunate case of a 'not responding to the helm'. It happens.

[@dfolt]

Thank you for having covered the FSG and Nobiskrug debacle. In the early 1960ies, Nobiskrug had built the then largest ship of the Federal German Navy, the training ship 'Deutschland' (A59), on which I received some of my initial officer training in 1980. The way in which these shipyards have been managed over the years is simply appaling.

For the yacht of the year, could you take Feadship 821 / Breakthrough on your list ? Thanks.

[@camiloduran3907]

That Nordhavn yacht has a rough history. What a shame, I've seen videos of it, and it is a really nice boat.

[@Truthasvictim]

That is insane, how can these things possibly happen these days with all the technology?

[@KonradTheWizzard]

Allow me to slightly adjust your sentence: That is insane, it's bound to go wrong with all this technology these days! More tech means more complexity, more complexity means more things can go wrong and there is less you can do about it quickly. High tech needs very very careful design and a lot of adjustments to put additional controls in place for the case that things inevitably break. You only need to look at your phone or PC to know that mankind is not yet able to do this perfectly.

[@jonchowe]

When i hear the name "NordHaven" I dont think "made in China"

[@jasonjenkins-ferris]

Nordhavn is the brand of the Company PAE... Pacific ASIAN Enterprises... they don't build anything... they farm out all their builds to China. $16 Million to build, took the first owner another $4 Million to correct enough/most of the mistakes just to get her running / enough to sell off the boat to the next poor soul.

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

California co. Make boats in tawaian too! Great little yachts blue water cruiser!,-

[@2011blueman]

You should, they have outsourced their construction to china for a long time now to save money and it has definitely shown in the quality of the builds I've seen at yacht shows. They also build in Turkey and Taiwan.

[@melwalley9776]

That boat was Canadian owned back in 2019 when it was delivered to Vancouver. They ran with a 2 man crew back then.

You can't run a yacht that size with two crew. The delivery journey from Taiwan had more than 2 people onboard.

2:48 well, when you put it that way, I guess we don't have to worry about the cruise ship, huh?

[@seanfrip9036]

Super yacht of year KAOS the most beautiful yacht ever

[@jfmezei]

SYOT suggestion: Sailing Yacht Black Pearl. With the climate calaminity all by inevitable, at least this yacht pointed in the right direction by using its properllors to spin generators that charge batteries whil the yacht is propelled by the sails. (originally planned to have sails as solar panels as well). With many fingers pointed at the carbon footprint of private jets and private yachts, this boat shows it is possible to have luxury and not a large carbon footprint.

SYOTY renaissance, because it's kinda more a charter cruiseship for rich people and doesn't have the same quality finish hull of a true superyacht. It also looks higher than most superyachts, a bit like a cruiseship except way better looking. I like the interior though. So i vote for the underdog.

[@schwabit989]

Full reverse would’ve been a good option…..

[@barryf5479]

Agreed. As well as less throttle.

[@reiders100]

If the gear box is stuck in forwards, more throttle in reverse will just make you go forwards quicker, all you can do is turn the engine off.

[@davidpower2406]

You never comment on what type of controls are installed. for instance air controls are sensitive to humidity that collects in the system and if not noticed can cause enough rust to jam an instruction regardless of filter dryers. It has happened to me.

[@fluffyfour]

To be fair, it's probably because of their major social media presence you even know about this yacht. There are many, many yachts out there just as well maintained, with dedicated crew, but which don't have the media circus going on around them. Is there really anything significantly different apart from that? Probably not. Maybe we should give another well-crewed yacht a chance?

Even if a yacht is "arrested" there is an expectation that the vessel will be maintained in working order so that may involve actually moving the yacht under it's own power to make sure all systems are working. The same goes for a car. Just sitting in one spot for months on end is not really good for it.
