Captain thank you for sharing. First off I would like to say this video is awesome and informative. The ship you are going alongside the Oleander. She runs a regular service between New York and Bermuda. The BCL on the side of the ship stands for Bermuda Container Line. This ship was purpose built for the run and conditions on the New York to Bermuda route. This ship and two others are quite literally the lifeline to my little island home. That is part of what makes this video so cool to watch, thank you for sharing and greetings from Bermuda

I live on a UK narrow boat 57' long 7' beam it has tiller steering and only one prop but its interesting to me the similarities in the way your barges behave and mine. I don't often venture on to tidal rivers and spend most of my time on canals so there is very little in the way of currents. The only force of nature I have to contend with is wind. Anyway more power to your elbow and may you have blue skies and fair winds. :-)

So, Tim, another very good video. I find myself wondering about the operation of the barge/Tanker. While it's probably just hooking up transfer hoses ( very big ones) and pumping bunker to the ship, maybe not. Don't know if there would be a problem videoing the tankermen and your deckhand in their work and then transfer of fuel. I'm guessing probably but I thought I'd ask.

I love your expertise on this site and trust your judgment in these matters of navigation. I am new to this channel and find it most interesting. I'd love a boat but live hundreds of miles from any water, too bad. I read a book by Clive Cussler (?) he stated that nautical speeds on inland water ways is always given in MPH. Is this true? Dave Alberta, Canada
@TimBatSea10 ай бұрын
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel Dave. I am familiar with Clive Clusser's books. They do give me a chuckle. So he is probably correct speaking from the perspective of an inland recreational boater. But mariners use knots for speed. We use nautical miles for distance and one nautical mile in one hour is one knot of speed. CUOTO

I find myself craving more info on the Missions, including this one. It started with my curiosity about the frontal view. I’m new to maritime, especially commercial and so wondered what I’m looking at. Are those two cranes collapsed on deck? Then I wondered if you’re delivering or receiving. I heard oil. So I’m inclined to think your cargo is under deck and you’re delivering oil to the Oleander? Love the expression LEFT TWIST!! Such an awesome maneuver you make look easy Cap. Oh, and in this particular video, are you not communicating directly with the other ship? If not, why? 🤓🧐😉

Thank you for watching Bruce. Yes. That was a bunker barge that is used to fuel ships. They have cranes to lift the hose up to the ship. We have a pre scheduled arrival time, so we really don't need to call the ship unless there is no one there to receive our lines. CUOTO

Dozens of container vessels on the hook and more coming in every day. Issue is how to get the boxes out of the ports once they land. Rail and trucks are insufficient in numbers to move the boxes to the destinations. So, unloading full container vessels in record time only reduces storage space available in the port property. Some boxes will sit for two weeks until loaded and moved to the next destination. The Amtrak (Empire Builder) derailment in Montana this weekend has shutdown the mainline freight (BNSF) between Chicago and Seattle until NTSB has completed their investigations. Truck carriers do not have the drivers or equipment available to overcome the backlog on this critical route. Some ships may be diverted to other west coast ports, but these options are not very good due to current capacities and lack of rail and road access. Intermodal shipping is strained to maximum with holiday inventory upon us. Hope you get Christmas shopping done early! CUOTO 🇺🇸⚓️

Great video Tim, thanks for sharing. HAve a question for you. My wife and I are on the water down here in Texas City, a lot. We are constantly going through the channel between Bolivar peninsular and Galveston Island that opens to the Gulf of Mexico. I have noticed that many large ships (Including the BCL in this video) are adding a very large structure aft of the stack. Do you happen to know what that structure is all about? Oh, it was fun seeing that Stolt Tanker earlier in the video. They come/go in the Texas City ship channel all the time. Have a great rest of the week and be safe. George

Thank you for watching the George. Yes. That is part of a ship that carries both containers and "Ro/Ro" (roll on/ roll off). So the back part has vehicles and or trailers. CUOTO

The large structure just aft of the stack (usually attached to it) is a 'scrubber' for taking pollutants from the exhaust. It can be an alternative to using extremely low sulfur fuel.

I was having fun trying to figure out where you are on Marine Traffic... Finally gave up and used Google. Still not sure. But your tug looks very advanced compared to what I am used to. The Amazon is beautiful... But not exactly the most modern. Our barge tugs are wooden launches with front fenders built on later. I have seen a couple true tugs here, but not very common.

Captain another great video. By break down if you are referring to what your next steps are with this barge I am curious. Did you leave the barge and go to another job? Do you relocate so you are pushing the barge and not along side wait until the ship is done and leave with it. Thank you for sharing your world.
