    Another configuration sometimes used is a joystick type control - where the rudders, engines, and bowthruster all act independently under computer control to move the ship where you want.
    Naturally, being one trained on twin screw CPP, I much prefer berthing via walking the ship using engines and BT!

The berth where this cartoon ship was parking, there is no hope of fitting 3 cruise ships there end to end. I remember Oasis of the seas used to tie up on that berth when we were there and that single ship hardly fitted on its own. Apart from that, great video.

    • @PanzerDave
      @PanzerDave Před 3 lety +13

      While I haven't seen the video he suggests, there are things you can do that will work quite well. I have three sailboats and not one has a bow thruster. On the other hand you can use prop walk to help you dock. The best thing you can do is to practice. While I can't parallel park most of the time, I can dock it with no issues the vast majority of the time. As he mentions in this video, weather, and currents depending upon where you are docking may cause problems, in which case you may need the assistance of someone on the pier.
      Most of the time you don't need to parallel park. By the way, it is a well known rule that the more people are watching, the more something will go wrong! Good luck with your docking!

      We have a single screw boat with a bow thruster. To move (say) sideways to the left, first turn the rudder to full right. Give a squirt of forward throttle which, with the rudder set right will kick the stern to the left. At the same time apply bow thruster left to counteract the turning motion from the rudder. So now the boat is moving left. It’s also moving a little forward now, so then apply a squirt of reverse. No need to adjust the rudder (still full right) because it has almost no effect in reverse (see casual navigation video as to why). Repeat this cycle of forward/thruster/reverse to continue moving left. Presto! I find it easier than reverse parallel parking in my car!

    • @averagejoey2000
      @averagejoey2000 Před 3 lety +1

      you can use "back and fill". alternate quickly between "right rudder astern engine" and "left rudder forward engine" or vice versa depending on which way you want to go, you use stored momentum from turning, switch gears, and turning the opposite direction cancels much of the momentum fore and aft, leaving you with a turning moment and some transverse force. you can pivot turn a single screw, it's just hard

    All those screws, propellers and thrusters nowadays. My dad used to sail on inland waters mostly in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands with a ship of around 100 meter and all they would have was one thruster (screw) at the back and a rudder. Nothing at the bow. Yet, they were perfectly fine docking their ship every time. Heck, they would even dock their ship in places where other captains actually needed a propellor at the bow.
    This might have to do with skill and experience though. He started on his own tow boat around age 13 and had his own ship around age 20. By then he had sailed most of his life (they also lived on the ship before entering school life age) so one could say that it was his natural instinct. Even decades after he went ashore to work at locks, he was still perfectly able to dock boats skilfully without any training in the meanwhile. It’s a bit like riding a bike: you just never grow over it. It always stays in your system.

    Ships coming into Lautoka would run out the seawards pick well off of the wharf, when the pick took up they would winch in and come ahead full stb helm and come gracefully alongside, then winch to come away, come astern full rudder
    I heard that Q.M came into N.Y without tug assist, the tugs were on strike

    Great and informative video! It seems i am not alone in liking this technical ship content. Can you in the future do a more in depth video about a ships engine system, like main motor startup procedure and support systems? How do seagoing carriers generate freshwater? How can subsea vessels make a hole in the ship (moonpool) without sinking? Different hull designs (UT, wave piercers, catamarans etc)
    Keep up the good videos!

      Thanks for the suggestions. A few of those would make great topics

    I was waiting to board a Greek cruise ship in the 1980s in Rhodes. The ship majestically glided in towards the berth, only to collide with a moored Russian cruise ship. Now sporting a huge hole in the bow, about 2 metres above the waterline, the ship was spun about and backed into the berth. Why they bothered I don't know. We all saw the accident, so they were not kidding anyone. A year later, that same cruise ship went down off the Cape, south Africa. The British entertainment crew remained aboard to help the passengers abandon ship, whilst the captain and merchant crew evacuated themselves at the first sign of trouble. The ship I'm sure you know was the 'Oceanos' of the Eportiki line.
