Love those powerful tugs . Seen them up close in Darwin Harbour at Stokes Hill Wharf namely Svitzer Darwin and Svitzer Palmerston .

Thanks for watching. How shipping has progressed over the years. Ships in the 70s and 80s were so much smaller than today's ships.

For those who do not work in this field of activity, everything looks beautiful from the outside. Accommodation forward, difficult and challenging living and working conditions for crew, especially for engine department crew. UMS system for engine department. Accommodation forward engine room, ECR aft ??!!! Duty engineer and duty oiler will run from accommodation - forward to ECR - enginee room - aft to deal with the alarms during UMS???!!! How it will the UMS service be done? How many engineers and engine ratings are in the crew on board. Methanol is liquid at atmospheric temperatures and pressures and hence bunkering is almost similar to conventional fuel oils, although the low-flashpoint and toxic properties require additional equipment and operational procedures. One of the major disadvantage of methanol is its lower energy content per volume. Methanol requires fuel tanks approximately 2.5 times the size of HFO tanks for the same energy content, or 1.3 times larger than equivalent LNG tanks. This has consequences for the spatial arrangements on board and the trading range of methanol-powered vessels. As a result, its applicability is mainly for smaller ships, feeder container vessels, at least initially. Methanol is a low-flashpoint flammable liquid and should take additional precautions to prevent ignition due to electrical arcing. Methanol bunkering is a classic chemical tank cargo operation procedure, considering that methanol is a Dangerous Chemicals, it involves a much more complicated procedure than the conventional fuel, Inerting, Purging, etc. All these procedures involve adjacent installations, plus their operation and maintenance, installations that were usually found only on chemical tankers. In fact the container vessel powered by methanol becomes also small chemical tank ship. On board the chemical tankers, directly in charge of cargo operation ( safe loading, discharging and stowage of cargo) is an experienced Chief Mate. That's all he does on board, not maneuvers, not watch duty. On these container ships powered by methanol, the methanol bunkering operation is done by the engine department. Anyway, classic fuel remains to be bunkered, because methanol cannot be used alone as a fuel for two-stroke naval engines. Most current 2 strokes naval engines methanol requires a pilot fuel for efficient burning, so conventional fuel must be carried on board as well, doubling as fall-back fuel too.

@@deanocable I go often to Darwin and I always see the two Svitzer tugs Svitzer Palmerston and Svitzer Darwin tied up at Stokes Hill Wharf if they are not busy . It was the first time I’ve seen a tug up close because Stokes Hill wharf is open to the public with a lot of restaurants to spend the the day or evening . You can Google Stokes hill wharf Darwin and see what a great place to spend an evening . Cheers from Melbourne .

This sounds a pretty dreadful comment but if this ship had been the vessel that hit the Baltimore bridge could envisage any survivors looking at the location of the bridge on this vessel having spent numerous hours at the port of Felixstowe at the quayside I believe these ships have really grown far to big to the extent they have become a bit like the giant supertankers of old
@deanocable 2 ай бұрын
You are right in thinking that, survival rate wouldn't be great as the 1st row of containers were crumpled by the bridge falling on the vessel meaning survival rate would have drastically reduced. The scary thing is that this ship only what they call a medium to large ship. She only holds 16,000 odd teu whereas the world's largest holds 24,346teu
