may I ask why you never would visit?

@@sjondeeg7158 I would be happy to visit, I just don't believe I will ever go to Amsterdam.

@@peternicholson2504 keep it that way Amsterdam is phone gone and wallet stolen and ajax

It's crazy that risk with the little boat took, but the big vessel was not yet allowed to go under the bridge, because the light sign was still on red/green and the captain of the big ship had to wait and go when the single green light was showed.... so in collision the captain of the big ship had a real problem because he did not wait long enough...

@@huppekeessie red/green is, go if you can.

​@lars8614 No, it's not. It's illegal to pass a red/green light unless you got explicit permission to do so.

No, boats are bouncy.

Erm... I think especially small boat owners know the effect of prop wash. I never enter or leave a lock closely behind a barge. It is easier and safer to wait until the propwash has dissipated. Even small barges are wary of much bigger barges.

I had to translate and Google it first, but then I saw it, he nearly drove into something on the left side, but he put it in again in the last second 😂

I missed that, had to replay that section.

Here the problem is that many think they are boat people....

Some people want to die young.........

actually. there are a few converted audi's on the water.

Thought it was more of a BMW myself………😂

Yep, but stupid fixes stupid , permanently!

schrecklich einfach

Think his just over taken me now on a bike

I was curious also; did the cargo need to be flooded? Given the amount going overboard aft, I assume the water came from the canal and wouldn't be potable.

@@currentbatches6205 I was thinking maybe some kind of filtering process to remove suspended particles from the water, but I have no knowledge to base that on.

Sure , there are all kinds of freshwater fish in the canals , but they're wearing earplugs , too noisy

It’s a ‘beunschip’ or well barge, used for transporting sand. The sand is loaded by flushing it aboard and pumping water out afterwards. However, if the sand comes from the seabed, fresh water is used to flush out the salt and make the sand better usable. I think this ship is flushing its cargo whilst underway.

No,it is The WILLEMSBRUG (brug 151) Singelgracht

The barge was probalbly actively pumping water on the deck to get lower in the water, to get more easily under the bridge.

No the ship is transporting sand from the bottom of the sea and it is pumping water over the sand to get rid of the salt.

@@sanderjansen5187 looked like a dredger to me

I thought the barge was refilling the canal.

@@sanderjansen5187 always wondered what that was

It's called a "skipper." Just like a driver of an airplane is called a "pilot."

Probably he is already dead...🙄

Bet He drives a BMW

Yes on the sidewall

I was wondering that also

In the Netherlands we call it a ‘beunschip’. I guess the English term is ‘well barge’. It’s mainly used for transporting sand and sand-like commodities. The sand is normally loaded by pumping it aboard with huge amounts of water. The water is pumped out of the ship afterwards. But if the sand comes from the seabed, fresh water is being used for flushing the salt out. This to make the sand more suitable for further use. I suppose this ship is flushing its cargo whilst underway.

I got distracted too

this is a ship that can load it's own cargo, it sucks up sand from the bottom of a lake or canal and then pumps away the extra water.

It's called a dredger,

@@frikandeldaar4603 Thank you very much, I had that same question while watching the video. My only guess that made sense was some sort of dredging operation. I'm sure canal maintenance is of importance to the Netherlands, it would certainly be an insult to jeopardize that mission by coming that close to calamity. Some idiots think they are more important than anything or anyone, which results in their ultimate downfall.😞

Must be dutch people that emigrated to Australia 😂😂

That barge is a dredger and it is carrying sediment. The reason why they flush water over the sediment to flush the less-dense particles overboard. Eventually, only the heavier sediment remains. This way the ship eventually can take more payload. The repeat this process until the ship reaches the maximum capacity. One of the reasons why they want to remove less-dense particles is because less-dense particles can make the barge unstable in heavier seas, as the load behaves more like a liquid than a solid and could shift.

@@BeertjeRulez Thank you, I understand what they were doing now. Did you notice that the second bridge carrying the tram or railway vehicles didn't open to allow the barge to pass even though it didn't seem to be any higher?

@@TuckawayThis is the viewpoint of that clip (facing North). The railway bridge behind it has a vertical clearance of 6 meters. That's sufficient for the barge. maps.app.goo.gl/ontBDwGg6bjD2B8R6?g_st=ac

@@Tuckaway i tried posting a Google Maps link here, but my comment got deleted. Find 'Willemsbrug' in Amsterdam. That's the one the barge passes under. You can see the railway bridge north of it. That bridge has a vertical clearance of 6mtrs, which is enough for the barge.

@@Tuckaway that bridge has 6mtrs vertical clearance, which is enough for the barge

As nasty as any city canal or river probably.

He nearly wrecked the boat.

that ship appears to be a dredger. so i guess its keeping its bulk mass liquefied. so its easier to pump out the dredged up silt.

It can be that it is transporting sand dredged from the sea, the water is flushing the salt out of the sand then.

Better never step into a boat.......

"Steering" not "driving..."

@@bessarion1771 Yes! That's exactly the problem.

merry hunt do you live in Amsterdam? Have you been on the canals? I have and I have seen so many idiots doing the most stupid things that you really ask yourself if those people have a death wish.

He did all what is forbidden in the book... Not giving a big boat the first right of way... Not giving a big boat the first right of way in a small pasage... Overtaking on starboard side without permission... Moving just in front of a big ship, so the skipper of that big boat has no lign of sight on him. Bringing passengers, ship and himself in danger, by all acts called before and this last one. Further... That bridge should have a yellow diamond i'ff ships may pass under it from both directions at the same time.

Until he would've hit the barrier in such a way it would've turned his ship so much that he would not have been going straight through anymore and it would've deflected him straight into the path of the barge and would've been crushed. Don't pass big boats on the right (rules of the road basically apply to a degree to stuff on water) and especially not if you are risking of getting stuck between a big boat and a barrier (I have no clue what those things should be called in English, in Dutch they are called a dukdalf) and the size difference is this big (it's like a motorcyclist trying to have a road-rage argument with a truck, it is equally stupid in most situations).

dangerous chemical cargo trucks and trains and boats travel through many communities

transport like that happens all the time in the netherlands, its just a nightmare waiting to happen. luckly we have a reasonably well trained volunteer fireservice 😉.

@@highkicker11 And professional firefighting crews that man some stations 24/7. Not all fire stations are voluntary. I think the thing you forgot is saying that we typically tend to follow rules involving safety, which is why incredibly dangerous accidents are rare, and if they do happen, we tend to be able to at least fight them reasonably well.

Verbaasde mij eigenlijk om de schipper van het binnenvaartschip niet te horen toeteren, hij moet ze immers op enig moment wel langszij gezien hebben aan het begin. Die aanvaring met de dukdalf was voor zo'n klein bootje ook een behoorlijke tik, dat ging absoluut niet zachtjes.

Beroepsvaart heeft nagenoeg altijd voorrang. De schipper van de beroepsvaarder heeft ook slecht zicht gezien zijn lengte dus daar dien je rekening mee te houden. Verder is het manoeuvreren met zo’n groot schip in de Amsterdamse grachten haast niet te doen, vandaar dat de schipper zijn schip rustig laat uitlopen. Als je dan, zoals deze mensen, je plastic bootje er nog net ff tussendoor douwt kun je niet varen en heb je kennelijk een doodswens. En dan zie je dat hij een dukdalf raakt en daardoor zijn helmstok ook nog eens losschiet zodat hij bijna onbestuurbaar wordt, vlak voor zo’n groot schip! Deze booteigenaar heeft kennelijk héél weinig inzicht in zijn eigen kunnen en kennen !

De brug opening is zo getimed, dat het grote schip gewoon door kan varen. Het groene licht kan pas aan, wanneer de brug 100% open is. In de praktijk zal geen enkele schipper achteruit slaan om onnodig daarop te wachten. Misverstand is onmogelijk, omdat er al ruime tijd een rood/groen licht brandde. Helaas weten al die dronken plezier vaarders nauwelijks wat ze doen.

en waarschijnlijk heeft hij van de brugwachter toestemming gekregen om te passeren

@@gekkedirkie Nee, volgens mij niet de brugwachter is daar wegbezuinigd 't is nu cameratoezicht! Het brugwachtershuisje is nu een "hotel" .

@@robertomorsink2014 Er is nog steeds een brugwachter hoor, alleen kijkt die via camera's (en ik meen ook microfoons, in sommige gevallen, vanwege de ongevallen op grote bruggen waar mensen ernstig gewond raakten) vanaf een centrale/andere locatie van een brug mee hoe de verkeerssituatie er uitziet. Daarom zie je tegenwoordig bij op-afstand bediende bruggen ook steeds vaker dat het sluiten van alle bomen zo ontiegelijk veel tijd kost: elke mogelijkheid om te ontsnappen van een te openen brugdek wordt secondenlang opengelaten, soms zelfs als dat eigenlijk niet nodig is. Toen deze brug nog op locatie werd bediend (en de brug tenminste DUIDELIJKE bellen had, want dat ge-eikel met die piepjes zal ik wel nooit begrijpen) sloten de bomen een beetje als op een spoorwegovergang waarbij de tegenovergestelde rijrichting opengelaten wordt aan de zijde waar het verkeer volgens de regels niet rijdt. Voetgangersboom rechts, en voetgangersboom linkstegenover sloten, net als die voor het wegverkeer. Als die bomen dicht waren en het brugdek was duidelijk visueel leeg, dan sloot de rest onmiddellijk, zonder vertraging. (Ik weet het niet zeker, maar misschien dat de brugwachter hoogstens een boom kan tegenhouden tijdens het dalen, maar dat de volgorde en snelheid tussen het dalen van elke boom zo ongeveer vast staat als er verder niet wordt ingegrepen).

Professionals usually are. Clueless sunday sailors not so much.

Sodor

Schiphol, Haarlem, Leiden, Alkmaar or Hoorn or Enkhuizen. Difficult to tell from this angle, but also because that side of Central Station has a big switch yard for trains and regular passenger trains going left can head to all of the aforementioned directions, and almost all of them see around 2-3 trains in that direction each hour, so it's a busy spot.

I think you meant to say “do these idiots know the exact meaning of the word idiot”

They think millions are using it in their search terms, and that's going to make them a fortune. Even the daredevil who squeezed between the ship and pier wasn't that much of an idiot. Mostly this made me want even more to move to the Netherlands. Thumbs down.

Probably transporting sand.

@@arthurhagen3826 why?

To make concrete for building, most likely.

This is a trailing suction hopper dredger, the suction tube is on portside. Used for dredging sand and silt to maintain waterways or collect sand as a construction material.

There is no vaccine for sailing.

wich red light..??? That lights up in the middel of the bridge..???

Thats orange... it means that you can go under bridge easy (if you are able with your boat) but be ware of traffic from the opposite... its own risk... the red light on the pole at the right side means just stop for ships who can not go under... make contact with harbor authorities, then when the green lights comes together with the red, means bridge control knows you are waiting, bridge control started... just wait for single green light to proceed ... the big vessel already proceed much to early... he had to wait til the green/red had turned in to single green light... so the big vessel was not allowed already to continue... the little ship took also a lot of risk, but he was allowed to preceed, the guy was crazy to take the risk... and you can see that his helman was not in good shape, it turned loss... bad maintenance...

Most bridges have a security system that does not allow a green light unless the bridge has reached its full upright position.

ik verbaas mij wel want waar was u dan Super Mary? ooit naar Sail geweest? Ga daar streng doen

dit is Holland.. de beste.. denkt u nou maar aan uw hart

Are you joking?.......that small boat getting just through on the big barges starboard side was inches from getting absolutely crushed.....highly unlikely any on board his little craft would have survived. He appeared to have no idea of the risk he was taking.

Have you even seen the whole video?

He was already making some speed to not cause a hold-up for longer than strictly necessary. Having to wait for a full green would take way to much time, and the full green is only given when all safety systems for opening the bridge have reported back operating normally and have secured that part of the waterway. It's practically automatic from the moment all gates are closed.
