Thank you Martin

Pretty boring stuff, why post?

Also biggest vessels of there type in the world, built to withstand the northern Atlantic sea winter.

You should take a ride, Tony 😀

Before entering the ship bridge, I always asked if I could enter. they always agreed. ship engine only accompanied

Helge Christiansen Cool, I’m going on one in Feb, how about the bow etc can you just walk around? Or do you have to stay in the middle living quarters? What about smoking, i presume there’s an area outside? Thanks

every ship has its own rules. if you go on board the captain will explain everything in detail

I am merchant mariner since 1997 and I have beem working as officer on cargovessels since 2001, and now as master, I have never used a uniform :) it is mostly on cruise ships they use uniforms.. I have only had to use uniform in some shipyard seremony and stuff like that. It is much more comfortable to use your normal clothes and regular working clothes when on deck off course..

It's not the navy or an airplane but the merchant navy.

Dear Henry! Yes, it is possible! Contact Grimaldi. It is their Job to carry everything

Rodney Morgan Brown Get in touch with them directly but it ain't cheap ..

@@guesswho7664 do you know about how much it costs to travel on a cargo/container ship across the atlantic or pacific?

Normally it cost about $100 per day

Thx

This is worse than episode 1, I can't hear shit. Such a shame, this could've been great, but it sucks. Fucking music. And one of the tracks are overused on YT if you watch yacht reviews you know what I mean. Grrrrrrr

@@AgentRafa , reason you hear it so much is that it is music that lives under the free domain and does not require obtaining any rights from the rightsholder. There is plenty of music available but it comes at a price. For hobby channels like these, enjoy what they are offering and the fact that copyrights are respected.

@@wellcraft19 Like I said; I do appreciate it. read my comment one more time, it had nothing to do with copyrights. Cheers.

1500 Euro

And?

Yes, also the safest possible way, also note it's from the stern and not from the side, and that you might work out yourself.

Yes, the Titanic was only a small ship compared to the behemoths of today.

@@darklord1134 This is a small Containership.....by modern containership standards. But it is also very specialist in that in can carry Cars, Lorries, buses...even yachts in her holds. Most container ships cannot enter Liverpool docks: (Seaforth) the locks are very small by modern standards. Compare this with the "MV Ever Given" which got stuck in the Suez Canal back in March. (2022) It's about a third of the size. When container ships became "popular" they built Seaforth in Liverpool with no foresight whatsoever. It can only handle what are known as "shuttle container ships". Felixstowe in Suffolk is the UK's biggest container port..... and every container has to travel by lorry to all corners of the UK.... What a complete mess. Massive congestion. Pollution and misery. A modern, full sized container port is needed in the North of the country..... Where is the "levelling up"? Yup...Our Government is totally inept. Don't expect any change soon.

Oke fixs

Not true at all. And by the way, what would be the great advantage having a guy stand for his 4 hours at the bridge. The Empire, the Quen perhaps or what.

Mixed cargo? Like cons on top and i.e. vehicles or other non-containerized cargo below. Can make sense when calling on the "not mega=ports".

I don't know about this ship but typical is Eu 150 and average cuise ship is less than Eu100.

1500 Euro

yes, especially hardworking, friendly and happy people

a lot of beautiful places!

I was looking to see if anyone else thought that.

Not all vessels launch balloons. The weather messages are normally being prepared by handomatic means and your eyes. The only nformation gathered is vital importance to create a proper idea of the climate and changes. Shore/landbased meteo stations are launching balloons everyday and may-be upto 4 a day. Its not for fun but to provide us with a weather forcast thats reliable for more than a few hours ahead.

The balloons are made of degradable material. Only the plastic censor is left .. but still that’s suck too.

Please ask Grimaldi ACL lines about this matter

No

2? see the whole Crew at the musterstation

No it is not. The weight is minimal

@@helgechristiansen4996 it's not about the mass, it's about the size and shape; a collision with an object, however small/light is always a danger

@@ottavva please contact www.dwd.de for more Information about this "danger"

British shipping line. Looks like Filipino crew, Russian chief Engineer. Not sure of master.

Kayak nya kagak ada the bos..tapi banyak muka2 asia

Those balloons would never reach high enough to be any concern to a plane ...

No danger. The mass is minimal

corey lahey What? They climb to tens of thousand of feet, well into and far above any planes route. Eventually the air gets so thin they expand beyond bursting point, blow themselves apart and return to earth.

Quoting the Wikipedia: "The balloon is usually filled with hydrogen due to lower cost, though helium can also be used. The ascent rate can be controlled by the amount of gas with which the balloon is filled. Weather balloons may reach altitudes of 40 km (25 mi) or more, limited by diminishing pressures causing the balloon to expand to such a degree (typically by a 100:1 factor) that it disintegrates. In this instance the instrument package is usually lost,[7] although a parachute may be used to help in allowing retrieval of the instrument. Above that altitude sounding rockets are used, and for even higher altitudes satellites are used. " I assume they will sink to the bottom of the sea eventually. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_balloon

What is the weight of a 10km string?🤔

And it will not move with the wind then but with the ship.

Thank you

See above; "With the largest ever built CONRO vessel from Hamburg via Antwerp, Liverpool and Halifax to NewYork."

Surely you MUST be joking . . .

@@TRPGpilot no he is not joking and don't call him shirley

John McGarva No , I do not walk around at home wearing a hard hat, but I have been working at sea 48 years, and according to safety standards,it is mandatory to wear hard hat when on deck.

Because what is going to fall on them?

SyR Gaming Have you been working at sea, and are you familiar with the safetyregulations that applies to every seafarer?

you sometimes underestimate these young professionals

Let's use sailing vessels to get your goods to market. See how that works for you.

@@jjosephm7539 or use engines capable of reusing the fumes to produce additional energy for secondary machinery... similar to a high efficiency Furnace or water heater in any home now days.. it should be that difficult... I think..

Most of what you see coming out the stack isn't that harmful. The stuff that the human eye can't detect, like nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, (and to a lesser degree, dioxide), oxides of sulfur is the stuff we don't need, and believe it or not, modern engines are putting out MUCH less of the bad stuff than in decades past. The visible components include soot, or the new buzzword, "particulate", and water vapor (caused by the hot exhaust condensing against cooler surfaces on its way up the stack).

They tried to use oars, but you can't get the slaves anymore.

Salt bush Bill Ships are a major source of pollution, but the actual amount per ton of cargo carried is surprisingly small. The ships carry such vast quantities they are actually the most efficient way to transport goods. To fly the same amount of charge the same distance would require hundreds of plane loads and many, many times the fuel.
