So you speak for the masses? Might at least hold a vote first.

Good video work and you see how hard that tugboats must work, it is almost the same position as in the Panama canal last year,

So steerage is obviously the most likely cause,why would you think it’s “probably due to insufficient dredging”....? 🤷‍♂️

@ecossearthur 22 күн бұрын

@@markhepworth dredging all over this area is poor at best just a very narrow passage channel for such a large ship. Takes but a hair out of place to catch the bulbous and drag it in to the bank... So yes steerage... Root cause.... Insufficient dredging...

@markhepworth 22 күн бұрын

@@ecossearthur I just don’t know how you can be so sure,keeping a long vessel in a dead straight channel is actually pretty hard,and even a medium wind can make it very difficult,problems with steerage are relatively common,but the most obvious potential is just plain old human error.

The aft tug has put all the weight on her starboard quarter and stood directly in the line of fire is people on the bank! I’m surprised the MSC wasn’t there making sure everyone was stood clear with the way H&S is today! ⚓️🦈

I saw that ship in Wisbech docks yesterday. Glad it got sorted.

Is there a slight list to starboard?

@thomasgreen1739 Ай бұрын

Yes slightly they transferred ballast water from the port side to reduce her draft

@anthonypaterson7066 Ай бұрын

why did the ship's engines not provide some power to assist the tugs?

@christopherdavies9111 Ай бұрын

Because the ships propeller/rudder are embedded in the muddy bank,it would cause untold damage to the main engine and propulsion shafts if they were to start it .
