[@danielkarlsson9326]

Sadly it is an issue at many ships with sailors leaving watertight doors open due to them needing to cross them regulary. a good example on how important it is to close them is the Stena Nautica incident. In 2004 Stena Nautica collided between Sweden and Denmark with the polish vessel Joanna a much smaller cargo ship. Nautica beeing a fairly large ferry should be able to handle a hole made by joanna but she started to take in alot of water and the flooding spread itself quite fast. Nautica was forced to return to port and when she did so sunk to the bottom og the port after evacuating all passngers. She nearly rolled in port and the car decks was mostly flooded but luckily for two competition horses who was on the upperdeck their part never got flooded and the ferry never rolled. It was damn close though. All this happened due to some of the crew leaving a few of the watertght doors open on a regular basis. Due to old design and poor layout they needed to cross them multiple times every crossing which is around 3 hours and 30 minutes. Stenas ferries are generally considered probably the best in the world in their class and the crews are seen as highly competent. And i know for a fact that Stena Line is extreamly focused to both crew and passenger safety. but this just shows that even the better companies when it comes to ship safety have problems with regular crews who has been trained to know the importance of watertight doors still have these issues.

This happened in my hometown. We stared at this ship off our beach’s for the longest time. We were all so happy for no casualties and completely surprised it could even happen. I mean growing up Sidney Lanier bridge was a draw bridge and we have been watching those boats come in and out our entire lives. The bridge collapsed in the 70s and was rebuild (that’s a terrible story and many deaths). It was rebuild in the 90s and no more drawbridge

Great work here on the Golden Ray. I live here, in Brunswick. We were out on the water that day when she sailed into port. We pulled over on a channel beach and sat and watched this huge car carrier. Then next morning, imagine the surprise of seeing her laid over on her port side with active-ongoing rescue ops. The rescue/s were keeping everyone on edge. It took quite a bit of time for the ship to be salvaged as well. That was an interesting enterprise itself. Out pilots here are all top notch. Our Coast Guard Station is right in a little creek next to Sidney Lanier bridge. Anyway, Just wanted to say thanks for covering this.

I'm not a navy man but I would guess that the same sentiments are universal whether you are a mariner or a special operations operative. The man who is obsessed with safety and operational protocols is the most hated member of a team until something goes wrong. In this case, everything went wrong.

[@Denaligirljodie]

As a former merchant marine licensed officer, there is something about RORO ships that have always terrified me. it’s the vertical rise off the waterline compared to a relatively shallow draft.

[@Denaligirljodie]

There is a reason when you test for your officers license you have to do manual stability calculations. Stability, in my opinion was the most difficult part of the testing process yet one of the most important.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

My deceased father in law was a mate on the QE and QM. He was responsible for performing that calculation daily, as well as astral navigation.

[@Corinne-v9c]

So...the 0.03 list to starboard that was achieved by moving the existing ballast water to starboard, is what *caused* this ship to not be able to right itself when it made that fatal turn? Hey, I'm not the sharpest tool in the box...I just kind of wish you would have dedicated more time to explain/review the mechanics/physics of how this ship ended up in this predicament. Also, even I know that leaving a watertight door *open* while the ship is sailing is just the perfect recipe for disaster. Edit: One question I have is why did the ship have a list in the 1st place in order for ballast water to be shifted starboard @ 0.03? Was it because the ship had full fuel tanks? I know nothing of shipping/sailing, really...but it seems that when the ship is loaded with the cars, that everything should be in the ship *perfect* so that the ship is perfectly balanced without having to adjust ballast. Because they had to make a kind of sharp turn, & ballast has previously been adjusted to the aforementioned value...that seems like a really small degree of list to cause what happened to this ship.

[@Eklektos.Bar-Theos]

One of the reasons could be the height of the centre of gravity. The ballast to compensate the 0.42° list was at the bottom of the vessel. Anything that was causing the list must've been above or way above that level. It is a 15 deck vessel after all. This difference will affect maneuvreability. Other factors could've influenced that too. Our respectable presenter doesn't make this a comprehensive technical report but an enjoyable video that brings us an interesting story. Thank you.

[@jonyemm]

Most ships would have a "load plan". The load plans purpose would be to facilitate ease of loading and unloading at docks and also to evenly distribute the weight. Vehicle weights(or whatever cargo) would likely be supplied by whoever is having the items shipped and aren't always accurate. The inaccuracy in the reported weights causes the ship to be unevenly loaded so they move ballast weight to keep it level. As for why the ship didn't right itself. It's normal for ships to lean especially while turning. My conclusion would be the ship wasn't as stable as they thought it would be. It tilted more than expected while turning. This causes the ballast water to flow to the low side of the ship which makes the tilt worse. If he mentioned how the vehicles were secured I missed it but unless they were individually strapped in place they likely would have slid to the low side of the ship as well at some point making the tilt even worse. Some ships make secure individual vehicles but I know of one ship that secured cars to a long chain that had a lot of slack that allowed the cars to move enough to, I believe, wreck that ship as well). The water breached the open door causing more water to enter the ship(flowing to the low side) making the tilt even worse until it capsized. If you like long in depth videos about marine (ships and such) disasters/wrecks i highly recommend @BrickImmortar on KZbin. He only puts out about a video a month i think but his videos are great and go deep. I think his videos on the "ducks"(originally based on old ww2 landing ships , which were based on old military land troop carrying vehicles, if remembering correctly) were how i found his channel but since then I've watched every video he has on his channel. He also covers "the bounty 2"("remake" of the original historic ship, The Bounty) sinking. The Alaskan ranger was another that comes to mind. Weight xample is my personal pickup truck. The registration says it weighs 6,650lbs but it weighs 6,950ish when I go over scales empty(except me) and I weigh about 180 so that's 120 pounds more.

[@MrPetergt]

The initial heel was corrected to 0.03 degrees by the shift of ballast athwartships (sideways), but this does not mean the ship was stable, and would have failed to meet minimum stability criteria at this stage. Due the loading calculation error, the GM or metacentric height of the ship was very low (essentially the centre of gravity of the ship was too high, for that cargo load, and displacement). More ballast water in the lower ballast tanks (ie double bottom tanks) should have been added to address this stability problem. During the manoevring out of the port, when a heeling moment was applied as the ship turned to starboard, the stability of the vessel (due to low GM) was also low allowing the ship to roll to a very high heel angle. As the cargo lashing chain of the car broke loose, this would only make the heel worse.

[@MrPetergt]

It is not unusual to have a slight list after cargo loading, as the weights of the cargo maybe a little bit heavier on port side than starboard side, even with the following of a loading plan (based on provided cargo weight, which also have some % uncertainty)

[@Corinne-v9c]

Waterline Stories are incredibly captivating, even if you’re not into boating or being on the water. They delve into those unique narratives where land, sea, and human experience intersect, often revealing hidden or forgotten aspects of history, engineering, or survival. The waterline can represent the dividing line between known and unknown, a threshold where the ordinary can become extraordinary. From shipwrecks and naval mysteries to tales of resilience and ingenuity at sea, there’s something compelling about these stories that goes beyond a love for the ocean. They tap into a broader human fascination with discovery, peril, and the triumphs and tragedies hidden beneath the waves.

When will vessels stop leaving dock with doors and hatches still open? This incident can be related to the loss of the Townsend Thorensen ferry in the UK in the early 80's where tight scheduling and the need to have fast turnaround had led to the practice of departure with the bow doors being open, where a rogue wave flooded the main deck shifting the vehicles and leading to a fatal capsize.

Investigators need to find out how the fire was started. If flooding put out the engines and electrics, there should have been no fire. Open doors did not contribute to the incident until it was so well underway that total capsize could not be avoided. More important by far would be why the list started, and why the rudder did not respond to correct the list in the early stages.

Crazy that insurance had to pay out close to a billion for this

[@PartTimeLaowai]

Ouch. I wonder if one single insurance company that had to pony up for the claims.

If one ballast miscalculation could cause a disaster like this, there's serious flaw with the operation. Why wasn't there any other person or automatic system to double check the ballast?

Well presented

8:13 This where the ballast tank management mentioned earlier comes into play me thinks.

[@EcoSpeeder]

..my guess it that the Capt. choose the fuel efficient option with ballast management. Messed around and found out.

[@corycarpenter4218]

Maybe I misunderstood but they moved 8 tons of water from one side to the other instead of moving 4 cars? New dude didnt check and it tipped over?

[@flashgordon3715]

The person that left the door open later found work at Boeing.

[@cnccarving]

the incorrect ballast values initiated the tilting, and later the open side gate added up but did i hear right that after seeing the ship tilting much the tugboats didnt respond to the left turn twice what was direct cause the more tilting it was like chain reaction, each element itself wasnt enough to cause it but together

How can a door be left open when a ship is moving??? Surely it should have some kind of alarm.
