- NEW!! : Watch the long version of this video here: • Tugboat Capsizing Cris... and see the problem starting once the ship made the turn pulling the tugboat into a dangerous position to be in.
During the Tallship Races 2014 in Harlingen a marine tugboat is forced to cut the line to prevent it from capsizing. #tugboat #tugboats #sleepboot #capsize #accident #sinking #marine - Auta a dopravní prostředky
The cheers from the ones who doesn't realize how dangerous that straight rope can become when cut.
Ikr
You cut it as close to the bit to avoid the whip lash !
Idiots
That’s a captain that knows what he’s doing believe me anything can go wrong even if you do the same thing every day
Or maybe not. If he knew, what he was doing, he wouldn't have brought himself in that dire situation. Luckily it wasn't a steel tow 😉
@@jrgensenbo2999 Okay Mr. perfect
Sekou; I don't know how - but you got it absolutely right ! And you obviously know nothing about towing and tugs.
@@jrgensenbo2999 true. Aft tugboat-open hatch-not an extra stopper line.... That is our Dutch navy :-/
This is the greatest danger confronting tugs with a conventional propellor-aft design. It is called ‘girding’. For whatever reason the towline moves out towards the side, creating a capsizing moment. Most tugs have a quick-release mechanism triggered from the bridge. Modern tugs with Azimuth drives can bring the propellor around in line with the towing rope, cancelling the capsize moment, and is also able to power towards the ship and thereby slacken the towrope.
Modern tugs have Voith Schneider Propellers and can handle this situation instantly without having to turn around an Azimuth drive...
@@UbuntuBirdyMovies This is just not true at all. There are many types of tugboats, ASD, Voith Schneider, even the old tractor tugs are getting build again. Each has its own pro's.
The ax, by a few strands. Deckhand even kept ownership of his knife, impressive!
As well as his hand!
Good job and glad they are safe, but that’s why we keep a axe by our tow hook and tow post on all the tugs. One swing and the line is cut, also keeps your arms away from the line. The time they spent cutting that could have been the difference of it sinking or not.
the other man takes the axe
That's a gorgeous ship!!!
I was on it at the tall ships. So drunk
i worked on tyne tugs had the same experiences bloody terrifying feeling
They were staying clear of that tow line. So I wonder if the tug went over to push the bow around or what? Wish this was a longer video to find out.
Not enough power
I work tugs it had nothing to do with power. He got in a bad position and topped his boat
@@cindyreid6404 the longer video is online now
@@gigabilitydontask1549 nothing to do with power. If anything, to stop the tug gurting,you need to stop all power. That whole performance was an utter disgrace and shows the complete lack of handling often shown on little harbour tugs. Half those blokes think they are sailors when they are not! They get given grandfather rights and their lack abilities are shown regularly
Wow! Panic or not panic, no time for reflexion!. Well done!
Tug life
Yes it is, please subscribe, I got a new video coming
@@BoatAfloat A little late response ain't it?
What with all the prop wash, I could not tell if they had some current running also....I was a ship-assist operator for awhile in San Francisco, the state of the tide was pretty important to know, informing you a bit on how much you had to keep in hand to prevent girding. In the 80's it was still all single screw boats. It was important to know the pilot you were working for as well, 'Sinking Sam' Davies once rolled two boats in one day, one of the crew who escaped the first accident died in the second. Whenever I had to work with him, I had my escape routes in hand and a sharp machete by the stern bits....and a well briefed deckhand. These days, there is something called 'dynamic towing' where the captain girds the boat on purpose to increase his bollard pull....being able to get out of it. I've no idea if it is standard practice....it is way too hair-raising for me to even watch on video. -Veteran '66-68
That’s called getting yourself in “IRONS”. A tail boat should always make fast using its Staple (or center lead foward bits). A tail boat is used in case the tow gets out of shape. If this happens the tail boat can back on her engines and pull against the foward tugboat. In turn steadying up the tow, and or slowing the tow significantly.
I do not agree with you. A conventional boat is very capable of being used this way and will be used like this in Europe most of the time.
Bas correct, even the old twin screw fixed we used to tow off the safety hook quick release down aft and spin the ships which is what these guys should be using if they plan on towing of a rear point in the aft position . A crew member should be nowhere near a line under any load for obvious reasons
@@rogerramjet7246 the lines dyneema.
@@norrisonwatta3157 we currently use 56mm dyneema for our pennant and yes I’ve seen dyneema recoil violently after parting under extreme load even when they claim it will not !
@@rogerramjet7246 agreed it has some snap back even when it's meant to be minimal, nothing compared to a piece of nylon though!
This was in Harlingen Netherlands this was the Sail out where we saild to frederikstad Norway as a race
Awesome, you were there! Please subscribe. I'm going to upload more ship video's.
While working as a Marine Accident Investigator with the Canadian Ministry of a Transport l investigated a number of fatal accidents involving the girding of tugs. Canada’s West Coast still has a number of fore and aft fixed propellor tugs. One involved the death of a 36 year veteran Captain with an unblemished record. It can happen really quickly and be hard to get out of. In the Accident I’m thinking of, the Mate climbed over the Captain in his panic to get out the door as the boat rolled over. He literally used the Captain’s back as a ladder as he clambered out. Being a much older man, the Captain could not follow the Mate and clamber up the bulkhead as the boat rolled over. Doubtless the Mate will live with the thought that he prevented the Captain’s escape. .’Girding” is extremely dangerous. That the tow line to the Kruzenstern had to be cut, rather than released using the mechanism designed for just such a emergency, suggests that the condition of the tug left much to be desired. Such an event is never funny. Real seaman would know better.
It’s called tripping the tug. Definitely serious, nothing to be laughing about
Yeah a life-threatening situation for sure
No nothing would have happened
No, that's not called tripping the tug! That's called gurting! "Tripping the towline" only happens when there is a towing hook that the towline is attached to throw a "gog-line". That towline was made fast on the crucifix. That whole performance was a complete joke.
Gelukkig was het geen staalkabel.
A sharp knife is handy sometimes.
A sharp hatchet is worth more in this case as it is what severed the rope. Watch the guy on the right.
@navigate48 It COULD have taken out the hatchetguy, if the knifemuppet managed to sever it first..allways cut shit like this as close to the bollard as possible
@navigate48 because i can.
navigate48
Because his advice is still relevant you muppet
A lot of times
Those people that are laughing are not aware what's going on...... That rope is cut because the tug almost tips over. People's lifes are in danger while others are laughing.......
Dit was idd een gevaarlijke situatie. In 1982 is op die manier de schitterende Temi IV op de rede van Vlissingen ten onder gegaan. Drie doden, onder andere de schipper/eigenaar Theo Dijkhuizen.. Het schip is nooit meer terug in de vaart gekomen.
It just shows the complete and utter ignorance of sheeple these days....
Ox sheeple, thats my new favorite word for people
Bas van Willigen - enjoy!
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas?
Was that the Russian tallship? I'm sure I saw it about 15 years ago at Leith in Edinburgh for the tall ships festival. The crew were penniless and starving because the Russian government had no money to pay their wages. All the locals took take away food, groceries and presents to them.
I am working on a longer version where you also see more of the ship itself. Please subscribe
Communism don't work, they now encourage trade and industry run by men who know how to make money, including China.
I love those old tall ships. We have the Elissa in our port.
Russia has not been communist for 30 years.
Yes, that was the Kruzenshtern, one of a hand full Russian navy training ships. She has quite a history. I've been aboard during Sail Amsterdam 2000. Those 50m tall masts are a sight to see when you're standing right at the foot of'm!
First day in his new tug boat
I was on a Mississippi River tug and as soon as I boarded I was given a new company brand Rope Knife
You never know if you'll need it but it's better to have than knot. Get it?
G-R-O-O-A-N
I sea what you did there
@@getchasome6230 😉
The mongs clapping laughing probably not realising this is potentially life threatening hazard
Both hazards. Topping the boat and cutting the line (that’s why he’s hiding behind the H bit while he’s cutting)
oeioei Breezand, knap gedaan jongens ! met gevaar voor jezelf
That's a wicked crew member
I used to work on a small tugboat, always had a sharp knife attachee to the rail for this very reason... fortunately I never had to use it.
daarom is het ook verstandig en gebruikelijk om het begin van de anker ketting met een touw te bevestigen , dan kan altijd in geval van nood situatie het doorgesneden worden .
Een ankerketting wordt bevestigd met een slampamper.
Childish people ... what a reactions.
Het belangrijkste zijn ze vergeten, als achterboot, en zeker een schroefboot, moet ten allertijde een stopper zetten, dat hadden ze niet gedaan, een beginsel van de sleepvaart.
is allemaal waar maar het ging veel te achterlijk hard ik had hem als achterboot niet eens vastgemaakt met die snelheid. kan je wel met een voith of shottel
De spring of stopper wordt nogal eens vergeten de laatste tijd. Waarom????
Этот буксир не оборудован буксирным гаком (Tow hook)?
Буксирный гак - устройство, применяемое буксирами для быстрого крепления и отдачи концов буксирных тросов. Как правило, гаки оборудуются пружинным амортизатором, чтобы амортизировать рывки буксирного троса (Tow hook is a device used by tugs to which the end of towing hawser is made fast. It is usually fitted with a compressive spring to absorb the shocks on the hawser).
Glad they got away with it. Saves the authorities asking questions about, agreed position, communication, gob rope etc..
Altijd belangrijk een scherp mes bij de hand te hebben.
zelfs met een scherp mes ga je voor de bijl ;) Kijk in de slow motion nog maar een keer wie van de twee het touw door kreeg.
fastyria Dat bedoel ik scherp mes, niet iedereen kan slijpen.
Gelukkig was er een goede bijl.
Jan Nieuwenburg Aahh bedoelde je het zo...dat klopt inderdaad
Dat touw is 8 centimeter dik ga jij maar snijden ben je 2 min bezig
Nice work skip! That sinks a lot of tugs.
That's why deckhands should always have a good knife
Hi where was his Gog strap o r does he Know what a gog strap is
Er staan weer vele uiterst beste stuurlui aan wal lees ik
Lamstralen idd
No video of the similar incident in Esbjerg only photos after the tug had turned over and started sinking.
Yes right here, and i guess its the same ship : czcams.com/video/cFsEogGcYdQ/video.html
No1 else notice the deckhand on the first ship stood right under the tow? Also if getting towed backwards why no gob rope? Wouldnt like to work for this company
Callum Rainford there are more people that dont like to work for the dutch royal navy
Hmm I see what you mean but in these circumstances yours and your crew members lives come first
A good point, although l see gob ropes being used less and less every year. On some tugs it is replaced closed towing pins at the stern, or even a fair lead to
Gob ropes are used less frequently as time passes. A tug being girded by a tow line tethered by a gob rope still has to be cut or wait until it parts. There’s usually a lot of slack in it, but it’s better than just towing from the winch. Supply tugs use towing pins on the after deck. Some tugs even tow through a fair lead at the stern. With azimuth or z-drive propellers.girding should never happen.
If I remember correctly, the same sailing ship capsized a small tug in the port of Esbjerg the same year. Fortunately, the crew survived.
It must be said that when this happens it is usually due to the captain of the tugboat standing and sleeping or not understanding what a danger is about to arise and cutting the rope / wire to the ship they are working with.
czcams.com/video/cFsEogGcYdQ/video.html
The ship have had enough and decided to do the tugboat's job
Isn't the rudder aft of the towing bollard? How come the tug can't just steer hard to starboard and go full ahead to realign the tug with the towrope going out over the stern again? What am I missing?
When the boat is off center The prop wash doesn’t provide the thrust on the rudder. It creates more forward motion and that girding creates more bollard pull, and that is exactly what you don’t want to happen. In my humble opinion, in this case, a bowthruster would not even help turning the bow. The line cutting was not overreacted and def not overrated, just in time me thinks
OMG
As barbeiragens de sempre!.
Dat is maar goed ook want anders is dit echt fout afgelopen.
. . . and said, "Fellas, it's too rough to know ya".
Helemaal een foute sleepboot, geen sleephaak.
It’s called a line not rope
Thanks...changed it
The tug boat has a very large winch with "line" on it not rope, also called cable. The orange material he cut was "rope". The winch has steel line on it which can be released or cut automatically. It all depends on what they are towing, and how they set up.
We had a drop blade with mega weight flick lever guillotine !
The rope snaps at the back of the truss , the guy uses an axe to make a weak spot.
Such high tension rope is nearly uncuttable with a knife or axe
navigate48 it is being chopped so who is what and where
navigate48 no idiot the guy with the axe is the one that cuts the rope. Look closely
Tug boat mantap
Why not put throttle through the Axminster ?
how did they get in that situation in the first place ?
Conventional tug, high speed and towing over the sstern of the tug.
The sailing ship has too much speed on if you ask me..
I would expect they would have had a more efficient knife a available to make a quick cut when necessary - like a machete.
Watch more closely, the guy on the right uses an ax or hatchet. I always have an ax aboard for occasions like this, and for pirates.
Never dropped his cigarette true Russian here lol
That is the Netherlands bud.

*spoiler alert..haha* don't forget to subscribe to see the longer version I am going to download soon
This is a comedy of errors. At 0:02 the load comes fully on the rope and there is a deckhand standing underneath! The rope used is also way too thin which is probably a good idea considering what came later..I think this was an emergency manoeuvre, see how close the tall ship comes to the wall. It seems the tug was desperately trying to stop the ship ramming the wall head-on. As to what possibly caused the girting the video is unclear but it's usually as a result of bad positioning. Either way, it is also clear that the tug skipper was completely inexperienced. The big surprise is that this is a Dutch crew. They are the best in the world at towing, at least that's what they tell everyone..
La Barone errors are maybe made. But the line was defently not to thin. The was under full power/indirect load and not breaking. This will be a high modulus/high tensile line. A decent “Dynema” line is way stronger than a similar sized “normal” polyester/propyle line.
This is in the port of Den Helder and the tug is a navy tug (with navy crew, not merchant navy). The Nato code on the vessel is Y=yard vessel. I think they do not have that much experience with towing.
Ok now what happens to the sailing vessel??? Did they go back and push it around instead of pulling it?
I am working on a longer video that's more in-depth of this incident, please subscribe so you won't miss it!
He used a hatchet. It's called 'Brake-away gear!
he's a polliwog with a hammer
why were they going so fast in the first place, were they in a race ?
good grief !
0:13 Since the towrope is attached near the middle of the tug, and the rudder/propellor are at the back, wouldn't going full ahead with starboard rudder be able to turn the tug so that the rope goes out over the stern again? Or did the tug have an engine failure?
Poly Hexamethyl once the tugs being pulled sideways (Girting) like that it’s extremely hard to drive her back around, the trick is not to let yourself get into this position! Sailing ship had far to much speed on her making it very hard for the tug skipper to keep her straight!
Get the axe Quint get the axe !
just how strong are these new ropes
they are strong until they break.
Unbelievable strength. You can have a 12 mm line that will lift a 38 foot boat clean out of the water.
Not sure about maritime tow lines, but in electrical work we would use a 5/8" or 3/4" arbor rope to pull heavy wire into conduits. I think that's around 12.5mm & 19mm respectively.
The 5/8" was rated around 9500lbs and the 3/4" was well over 12,000lbs iirc.
The line on the tug look well larger than 3/4".
All the jolly sailers cheering not a clue what’s going on .
They almost got sunk.
Where’s the gob line? good towing that
Don't see many of them use gogs to be honest
He learned from Quint in Jaws. Have a machete on board.
I do too.
More like he learned from Bob the Builder... it was a carpenters hammer
Today i Esbjerg Kruzenshtern succeded with this stunt - a tugboat was sunk during a similar maneuver.
Is there any footage online of this accident? I do see this article www.vesselfinder.com/news/2263-Tug-sinks-in-an-accident-with-a-tall-ship
A sharp knife is a safe knife. Sailors know.
Same goes for the hachet😉
Picker factor was high on that one.
Pucker
Thats why you are supposed to have an axe and or torch
The guy on the right did.
The axe man did first, strong comrade
She was in irons.
Een ongemakkelijke situatie, maar netjes opgelost, een mooi leermoment noemen ze dat. Ik denk dat deze bemanning wel wakker is nu.
Deze video geeft antwoord op diverse vragen zoals:
“Waar komt de uitdrukking “Kap ff gauw met die onzin” vandaan?” en “Waarom hangt er een bijl in de stuurhut?” (met een mes krijg je een lijn onder spanning dus niet doorgesneden, en als het al lukt spat het touw in je smoel. Met de keukenschaar lukt het ook niet trouwens) “Kan een sleepboot overdwars varen als je er met een viermaster aan trekt?” “Heb je in Rusland een rijbewijs nodig?” en “Wie snapt wat hier gebeurt?”
Maar: “Waarvoor dient de spotter?” 0:13... Om weg te lopen als het mis gaat! Als een lijn gekapt moet worden gebeurt dat in principe op de sleper zodat de lijn niet als een katapult de bemanning van boord schiet en/of spontaan in de schroef terecht komt... De man op de steven van de Kruzenstern gaat daarom een paar passen achteruit als hij ziet dat de sleper de lijn gaat kappen, zodat hij niet de terugslag in zijn poffert krijgt.
It's a life and death situation and fokin land lubbers are laughing.
What a shame.
The axe won!
Very lucky not to loose a hand or arm.
Wat een prutswerk!
Le metier sur un remorqueur est dangereux et en une fraction de seconde les consequences peuvent etre dramatique . Bon courage au Capitaine et a son equipage. Eric un ancien Captain
hij brak helemaal niet waar hij het mes had.
wel lef hebben
De man rechts van die met het mes deed het werk ... met een bijl/hakmes.
What happened to the tall ship?
Girl
s
It’s now a short ship.
Sailed off the edge of the earth
crowd claps/ as captain of tugboat avoids capsize and imminent death... by using his last resort RAMBO KNIFE. to cut line tethered to larger ship that was pulling into a capsize position of more than 45% off center of waterline
The guy with the axe cut it.
sleepboot?
eerder duikboot
Very very Very knife!
Man man man...wat een geschreeuw, niks aan de hand joh, zo’n boot gaat echt niet zomaar om.
See? Always good to have a boarding ax on yer ship! Arrrr!!!
Called tug girding.
I think Girding is the name
John Ashworth correct, Girding or Girting
Getting Girded Sucks !😣
slim ...anders was de sleepboot gezonken...beter die touw doorsnijden, nw touw kost een paar euro. ..nw sleepboot een paar ton.
Henk Hartog dat lijntje kost ook wel wat hoor. Maar inderdaad een stuk minder dan de hele sleepboot.
daarom sleep je het beste op de haak......die krutzenstern vreet sleepboten!! (kijk maar op youtube! lol
One rope and a small tug to manoeuvre that big ship?! Seems somewhat foolish
crazy Ivans
Mooi
Like a chef needs a sharp knife at hand likewise the deckhand as well .
this trouble is called GIRTING. that's why old style tugs working whit the stern are not motor reliable today.
