This video was produced in partnership with Fireaid Academy. View their website at www.fireaid.com to see the full range of courses they offer.
In this video, we look at the effect of firefighting water on a ship's stability. We discuss how the water used can reduce a ship's stability because of the Free Surface Effect.
This video is based on a Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report. The report is available on the MAIB website, published under Crown Copyright, 2011.

I work with fishing boats. They have float sensors that automatically turn on the bilge pumps if the water level gets too high. Well, one captain noticed the boat is floating weird and looked in the bilge, and it's completely full of water. It turned out one of those plastic bread loaf clips jammed into the float sensor, and almost sank the whole ship. Those bread clips are now banned from his boat..

I have had a bilge pump fail from mumerous obstacles, including a cut-off end of a zip tie. Anything small enough to fit through the grating around the pump... I now have two separate automatic bilge pumps in my boat, mounted at different levels and connected to separate batteries. I still don't trust them 100% I used to have one with an electronic level indicator, but that one failed because of some oil in the bilge water. I have had a mechanical indicator fail because the water level rose so slowly that the float switch didn't trigger until I stepped on to the boat and disturbed it. If you are in a serious situation where you take on a lot of water, that water is going to wash around inside the hull and find every little piece of hidden trash that was dropped during the last decade and the electric pumps are very likely going to get clogged. A high-capacity, manual, bellows pump is a really important piece of equipment on any boat that you can't bail out with a bucket.

Hitchcock always said that one increases the level of suspense in an audience by *providing* information, not by withholding it, as a mystery or who-done-it usually does. This presentation was an excellent example of the principle. Once informed of the smoke and the alarms setting upon this poor ship (in the dead of night, no less), we were then slowly informed, not of the plight of the passengers, but of the many things which might reasonably go wrong in such a situation, the whys and wherefores, each of the principles and the inexorable forces involved - and somewhat to my surprise (since I had only expected a mild documentary concerning one or more of the many maritime realities of which I am ignorant) the more tense I found myself becoming. This was assisted in no small part by the fact that this growing stockpile of disturbing information was delivered by a dry, pleasant but detached voice which seemed vastly more interested in presenting each terrifying detail with perfect clarity than it was in communicating whether or not sixty-some-odd relative strangers would soon awaken to flames, panicked flailing, hopeless realizations and then the frigid waters dragging them mercilessly down to the crushing blackness of Davy Jones' Locker. Now having experienced it, of course I wouldn't have it any other way. I won't spoil the experience of anyone who hasn't seen the video yet by revealing the eventual fate of the Commodore Clipper, I'll only thank the video's creator, both for chipping away at my considerable ignorance in an entertaining manner, and for reminding me of Hitchcock's talent and insight. Cheers.

When I was master of a small passenger vessel, one of the things I pressed onto the crew was to switch the fire system to the bilge system after a few minutes, at the beginning we would pump sea water through the fire system, but then switching to the bilge system to the fire hose we were able to pump the water that had filled us up, to fight the fire, eliminating any more risk of the free surface affect. Can the cargo decks not implement this idea? Drains at the side with closable valves, pick ups to then send that water around the fire system? You could pump a known volume into the deck initially figiting the fire, then switch over, thus allowing almost unlimited fire fighting that would have a minium affect on stability.
@WillowLiv
@WillowLiv 2 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately that wouldn't solve the issue. The drains are perfectly sufficient to avoid this effect by making sure water does not collect on the deck. It matters not if that water goes into the sea or back to the fire fighting system. The problem stems from these drains being blocked. If the system you talk about was in place, and the drains blocked, the water would take too long to go back into the fire fighting system, essentially leaving you in the same position as if it was going into the sea. Reduce the amount of water fighting fires (and the fire gets worse), or have water collect (and compromise the stability). That is if I understood what you talked about correctly. I believe it is a serious design flaw that these drains can get blocked however.
@DanStaal
@DanStaal 2 жыл бұрын
To add on Andres: You also added danger in the system. Worst case is that the fire is a chemical fire - in which case you're just pumping the ignition agent onto everything, while a normal setup will pump it overboard. Even in the best case, a fire creates multiple toxic byproducts which a normal suppression system will dilute, while you're concentrating them for the cleanup crew to deal with.
@beeble2003
@beeble2003 2 жыл бұрын
Connecting pumps to the drains wouldn't be reliable. In addition to the problems pointed out by Andres and Daniel, if the ship heels to one side for whatever reason, the pump on the opposite drain is suddenly pulling air, rather than water. That may damage the pump, and it certainly reduces the amount of firefighting water available.

Extremely well done and concise synopsis of a complicated situation. Just hopped over to read the official report (memo to self: get a life) and the number of things that went wrong on board and on shore (communications and equipment failures) just goes to show how the smallest thing can be a critical link in the chain to disaster. My fave part of the report was about the harbour tug driver who towed most of the trailers off. Due to the heavy smoke a breathing pack was necessary - he was the only driver with any experience which was scuba diving once while on vacation, and he volunteered. Guy went through numerous tanks of air as he worked - sometimes backing his truck in by feel in zero visibility - and was able to get the trailers, some actively burning, off the vessel. Photos are in the report.

Meh. Irish Nationalists have been overblowing that spud blight famine for generations as a somehow unique tragedy that only effected the Irish; in reality the blight hit all of Eurasia at the time, yet is largely forgotten everywhere else. The real issue that caused the famine was over-dependence on a single crop; a bit like various countries' history of overdependence on a handful of export products for government revenue. (Venesuela being a classic case of how an undiversified economy will deteriorate [and people go hungry] at the first sign of a crisis) Thus it really was a hum drum historical event; caused by agrarian complacency and incompetance.

@jetblackjoy There's all kinds of accounts from the period (and quite a few made up / distorted after the fact), but it's worth noting that poor soil fertility was a centuries old issue in Ireland (the island), as Potatoes caught on post-1500's as a result of better crop yields than wheat or other crops. Side stepping the core issue and spiralling into a monocrop situation (over many generations) was what made the famine inevitable, even without a Eurasia wide blight. What could / should have been done is a vast topic, but I think it's important that the real lesson of the famine should take primacy in any reading: *Don't Monocrop or neglect your soil, or this will happen (again)* In contrast; the cause of and takehome lesson of the Dustbowl crisis in the US in the 1900's is well known and understood. (Hedgerows serve a purpose, nature is a random & cruel mistress, and having a plan for hard times is essential)

Fascinating! I watched a couple of your other vids, but it's this one that earned you the sub. Of interest, some warships had bulkheads dividing the ship into port and starboard halves to control flooding and allow port or starboard boiler or engine rooms to remain in action after a hit on the opposite side. Unfortunately they found out the hard way that this assisted the free-surface effect to run rampant on the flooded side, and capsizings following torpedo hits (of a magnitude the ships had not originally been designed to resist) became a regular thing.

I skimmed the linked accident report, and there were a few things that were presumably cut for time: At first, the crew thought it was a false alarm. The second and third mates had previously served on ships that had had false fire alarms, and so, instead of immediately activating the drencher system, they sent someone to go see if there was actually a fire. Combined with some communication issues, it was about 15 minutes from the fire alarm going off to the crew believing it was actually a fire. They potentially could have used the drencher system for longer, but they didn't have the tools to quickly determine the maximum allowable list. The report recommended adding equipment to let them figure that out Because of the structure of a RORO ferry, the passengers couldn't disembark until after the fire was put out. It ended up being okay here, but that's a pretty big design flaw, IMO

Do one on the sinking of the “Midnight Hour” a squid fishing vessel that sank of the coast of Catalina Island in California. It capsized I believe because it was over weight. It is now a wonderful scuba diving site!

Great video. The only thing you missed was the effect of the width of a compartment on free surface and how longitudinal subdivisions can reduce its impact.
