- She is the flagship of the German deep-sea fishing fleet: the Maartje Theadora. Built for ocean-going service, the trawler is out in the fishing grounds of the Pacific for more than 300 days a year. This ship can process and transport around 6,000 tons of fresh fish.
The fish is sorted and frozen in the factory below deck. The trawler's fishing areas are in the English Channel, but also in the North Atlantic and the Pacific. The week-long journeys are a great physical challenge for the committed crew. Our documentary gives insights into the tough everyday life at a fishing expedition on a board the giant ship.

These guys are catching and selling something that belongs to all of us.
I love these types of Documentary.
I remembered those days at sea.

@@davemillman4318yea you know that bro haha
I spent 14 years as a deep sea fisherman in New Zealand, Australia, South America & South Africa. . Loved it very much and miss it.
What do you do now?
@@flynnryan25 I gave up fishing when my daughter was born. Now working as a planner for a transport company.
I had no idea industriel fishing was this technical, just means i got more to learn to make something believable for my writting.
@@justinsmith4562 you crazy
wow . did you ever reach the horizon???
This was a WOW for me. An amazing documentary. Thank you for sharing your incredible story. A Chef {cook} that bakes his own bread couldn't believe it. His food has to be wonderful. My sincere gratitude to all the fishermen. A difficult job.
As an industrial maintenance tech I understand the importance of repairing equipment in a timely manner. 👍 to the engineers aboard this vessel and the crew.
These are documentaries I like an hour and a half long... they take the time to show you alot more than the standard 45 minute episodes of most "documentaries"
It seems that every time you guys film a fishing vessel it breaks. I enjoy these documentaries thank you.
Coolkat - A little excitement is needed to liven up the end 🧐
Every fishing vessel breaks down or something crucial to fishing at least.They take such a beating while working, even when not work they are in a harsh salty environment. I grew up on Long Island in NY and the salty air rusted stuff quickly.
@@derekrohan9619 - I grew up on the coast of Norway, and have lived here for over half a century. The sea is salty here too, but there are no accidents or anything falling apart on every other trip. We have very hard conditions with storms and large wave heights since we fish in the North Sea and by Greenland and the North Ice. But fortunately we rarely have serious accidents, but then we also have strict controls of ships and equipment, and highly qualified sailors. But then we also have a very good sea rescue service in case something unfortunate should happen
No break no story. 😄
@@haraldpettersen3649Every fishing boat has things break or fall off no matter where in the world you are fishing ask anyother real fisherman and they will tell you the same so that is utter crap what you say about nothing ever falling apart 😂😂
I love this documentary, i'm excited to absorb very useful knowledge about deep sea fishing!
Good morning from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Don’t care lol
Great documentary 👍. Brings back memories of how I never worked on such a ship 🤔
lol
ㅣ,
)))))))))))))))
Crazy the amount of fish getting caught
Crazy the amount of babies born. THAT is the problem. No people, no extinction of wild animals. Maybe we should use all these nuclear weapons. Problem solved, humans gone.
@@voornaam3191 yeah aggree, but you should start from yourself
there are parts of sea now completely empty...we are gonna eat the whole earth one day I am telling you
@@voornaam3191 the problem is capitalism, not the babies born.
@@giorgiogiorgi932 the problem is consumerism, which is a huge issue everywhere in the 1st world, not just capitalist countries.
i cant believe they made a 1 hour 36 min documentary about a ship and its crew and never even mention the ships name...
Nothing left for the feature. They kill everything.
I absolutely loved that film. Truly amazing.... the tug boats are flippin awesome. X
Awesome fine German hard working men! Thank you for the documentary! From upstate NY! USA
God bless New York!!! The greatest state in America 🤘
GO BILLS!😁
Great documentary. The efficiency of the germans.
The best 💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, what a very thorough and professional fishing trip documentary. Very good interviews, explanation of the different phases of the operation and equipment. A tremendously precise operation coupled with all types of contingencies. Very informative.

I'm so glad they tell us the names of the ships over 100 times because I would completely forget it.
the narrator does a great job ... we all doesn't understand dutch..Keep up the good work
Let him learn to pronounce u, ui and eu. That will make sea miles of a difference.
That man named Kuijt is a mean one. We Dutch have an ij. But his name simply means Kuit, or Roe in the UK. Great name for a fisherman. Fish eggs.
@@voornaam3191 Thanks for the correction
There is a very understandable misunderstanding here. Namely, Dutch vs Deutsch.
In the USA, we refer to the Netherlands (Nederlands) as the Dutch people, who speak the Dutch language.
We refer to the Deutschland as Germany, and the people as Germans, who speak the German language.
Great documents yet again thank you and I have very much respect for them all I could never do that work great work all stay safe 👍
I really like this documentation. I hope there will be more of such documentation....
Documentary
I hooked up fishing trawler on tow once. After short briefing about connecting plan we almost did not have to tell anything to the guys on the trawler, excellent seamen. It is a little different story with cargo ships.
Ccocccc
...with todays Cargo Ships....maybe. Back in the 70ties and 80ties when I was on multiple German Cargo Ships we where Able Body Seaman as well.
Jawoll, wir machen das Meer leer😂
Bravo!
Strip mining the ocean!
You can smell a whining liberal a mile away😭
This processor is a giant.i fished for almost a decade as a deckhand/captain on a freezer trawler out of point judith RI.i could only imagine the expenses on a boat this size.for our 100ft vessel it was 20k for fuel alone every 12 days!
I doubt there are many German local fishermen due to this beast of a ship. Pros and cons had by both techniques
And
@@drudawg4208 we still have a good amount of local fishermen making a living with costal fishing within the shallower waters like the German Bight. But like everywhere else its a hard business with many tribulations that is slowly dying.The younger generations more likely choose more convient ways of making a living rather than do this backbreaking job.
Amazing, thanks for posting this vid!!!Love it!!
Wooow what a ship full of technology and logistics
That diver hasnt been diving for 35 years, he IS 35 years old!!!
Hello to the crew from Seattle USA ! (We fish here also) The professionalism of this crew is a credit to the industry ! The condition of the vessel is beautiful. It is reassuring to the public to see the order and discipline in the operation that values the lives of all the workers. Hopefully in the future all cultures in the world will value the lives of their workers as this company does. Fishing is very dangerous !
It's a video. They can act however they want in a video. Means nothing long term
At one time I would of thought that to that they just put on a act for the camera I don't think that's the case here you can see it in there behavior they are well fed well cared for from the close they wore to there living areas first class all the way plus I heard I'm say there was a lot of brass on board I'm sure being of German decent my self no shit went on onboard that ship the other ships don't give a shit you can see it in the men's morals
@@bobforaker772"
You most definitely do not fish in British waters.
I’m from Seattle too.
Hopefully in the future all cultures in the world will value the existence of nature and will chill out on hideous vessels like this. It should be renamed The Apocalypse.
Of all the videos I have, I enjoy documentaries the best
Anyone else noticed that this German Super -Trawler is fishing in THE ENGLISH CHANNEL....thank you EU!!!!!!!!!!
Great documents I seen the last fishing one amazing
That must have been quite a 'scene' that you saw.
Enjoyed that documentary 👍👌
Also in this video I worked in hunts point in the fruit and vegetable section making a lot of food for workers and truck drivers very busy and no one helped me lazy and slow but it was very good experience for me but I have very fast speed to multi-task and the people loved my food which I am very was grateful
This is amazing 👏 what a Documentary more than a movie
Very good Documentary 👍 Kudos
We are not too far from fighting over food.
This Fishing Destroy Under the Sea!! This is ILEGAL.
No it’s not
Great documentary.
Love fishing and eating fish ❤
Amazing and so interesting to watch!
Love your documentaries.. thank you !!
As big as the ocean is its still hard to fathom how they can harvest this many fish and not run out of fish . This is only 1 boat and there are hundreds fishing for same fish .
Does that mean does fishes harvested a natural and not culture farm fishes? Do you mean no one or country is responsible for those reproduction?
Another great presentation! I always wanted travel to Germany,,I still have family on German soil...
A1 professional crew. I'd sail with you guys any day!
Any idea how they manage to catch only Herring, and not anything else? I guess smaller fish escape through holes in the net. But what about fish that are bigger than Herring ?
They cast nets using sonar... so they know whats below them
@@rash15 bullshit. this is non selective fishing, highly destructive.
This is pelagic fishing, in the free water column, not close to the bottom. Sonars helps to determine which species of fish the schools consists of, so they can target herring pretty well. But of course there's bycatch. We saw the guy filleting a whiting for example.
One of the other videos that CZcams auto played showed that very big things go, because it’s slow. And other things caught are also processed, noted declared and sold.
If I drank a Jägermeister every time the narrator said "Maartje Theadora" I think I'd have enough alcohol in my bloodstream to dare to work on the Maartje Theadora
Ya no kidding. Fuck that job lol. Imagine realizing a week in that you hate it.
Pppppoooiy
❤❤❤love this wish I was there
I could live without ever eating fish again after seeing how miserable this job is.
@@a.azazagoth5413your right if fishing is not what you enjoy then its not going to be a fun job being there but when you get home to your family and see that your bank balance is at just over £10.000 a month it makes it all well worth it trust me
thank you so much it was so interresting and enlightening ,i would like more
Love this documentary
State of the art ship technology, and old reliable tires are still being use as shock absorbers.
You have a great job, guys. ❤️
Fantastic . Excellent Documentary As Well ..
Really cool show. Thanks!
i guess the herring had enough and destroyed the rudder. or it was a prelude of the next gojira movie. fish is good!
What a Mighty vessel and crew doing a much needed and appreciated job.💪⚓
We … *need* to pull all the fish out of the ocean? Hmm.
@@rabblerousin8981 not all but just enough my green face friend. It's called survival. 💪
Worth watching documentary 👌.
Nice
Bloody hell man i only wanted 2 fish for dinner.
Haaha awesome guys great doco, cool grew great Captain yeah i loved it. NewZealand viewer.
So high fishing technology it will lead to an empty oceans sooner that we thought.
Amazing mighty journey
Great doc!
Wow nice content watching from Philippines ❤
The dislikes are the fishes
Heeeeeeey Harm....nog mee gevaren op de Friesland. superleuk om hem eens te zien. superleuke kerel.
Well done. Really interesting. Thanks.
These fishing ships are destroying the seas
Feel sorry for small fishermen.
And this is why there is no herring left
This was awesome
This was a really Awesome educational tool ; the family and I loved it
Really cool. Love this type of documentary
It's worth noting that such a large vessel losing the rudder in such rough seas with little incident is normal, but could turn catastrophic in less capable hands. Just like pilots, safety is always number one for the captain, and he showed it here. Should be commended by his company.
Thx for the vid.
i from teutonia south brazil , keep up the good work guys
These men are amazing and take responsibilities in the work they do.
Wow, that's very impressive. With fleets of ships like this trawling the oceans, it's a wonder there are any fish left though! I wonder if, at some point, technology and size of ships will advance so much, it could make it impossible for fish to re-generate themselves rapidly enough to survive, and the oceans will start to get depleted?
No they have quotas so they dont overfish them. Well countries in northern europe have it that way. Also the ships are not gonna be much bigger than they are today.
@@arnar1872 quotas exist everywhere and fish stocks are lowering every year. soon these ships will fish sand. they go fishing further and further, they almost reached north pole. then they go fishing into space. this kind of fishing shoukd be banned because it is not sustainable. these documentaries are a shame.
@Ryker they are neither abundant not in gigantic numbers. stocks are lowering everywhere, thats why quotas and distant spots. study.
Totally agree, They just don't want to change there ways as the technology does exist...i mean trawling is one of worst and has been proven.
I watched a doco recently about the regulations and enforcement and they basically said we can't put officials on boats anymore as too many go missing out at sea and the only option is what some places are doing and using the military and private companies to control the fishing (but then you get pirates)...To me its like when people say the UN should step they can't as they rely on countries armies and if they don't want to help its shit...yet you don't seem them embargo countries anymore that do bad shit.
Looking forward to it
Very professional operation indeed
Amazing doc.
Diving 35 years eh ? He must of been diving at one years old then🤔👍
That’s what I thought at first. Then I figured he was talking about one of the crew watching the camera feed on the dock. They’re divers too - just not the one in the suit that day.
I thought it a great video, I served in a processing plant, the Navy and Managed a production facility, Still amazes at the storage on this ship.
@Hello Steve how are you doing?
@@lydiaanderson582 Doing well and you?
@@stevemolina8801 Good Hope we get to know each other with time and patience. Do you mind suggesting any means we talk off here more often if you don't mind?
@@lydiaanderson582 🐱🐟🤣😂
Watch out Steve il give it a week and she will be asking for money 😅🤣
Very interesting documentary.
This is fascinating. Know where your food comes from!
The guy who spoke about the motor around 54.00 is definitely Dutch 😂
Considering the ship had just come out of drydock, a rare occurrence in itself, I bet there was an unreported collision with the dock, a tug, or other obstacle while entering or leaving drydock.
or maybe they forgot to tighten the bolts ;)
Maybe a submarine shadowing the ship caused the rudder loss....lol
@@jameskamoet7679during peacetime submarines may not dive within the vincinity of commercial waterways under any circumstances. The English Channel and especialy the dover calais strait are the most dangerous waterways since they are full of shipwrecks, mines and bombs from WW II. It is estimated that aprox. 250 million metric tons of military ordnance is still in place threatening the commercial shipping
@@Evangelion81 If only those rubber dinghy's would hit those mines...
The amount of fish production is just insanely stupid at this point. I still respect these fisherman. They are just part of a working economy.
This is my favourite documentary!
With the advanced economies using such monster ships in deep-sea fishing, how would the small developing nations compete in the fishing industry?
use SLAVE LABOR
@@StephenMortimer , slave labor?
Thats why the Somali pirates are pirates no fish left for them after the massive trawlers raped their fishing stock
@@TheSilmarillian Cry me a river. They don´t want to work, thats why they became pirates.
@@davecopp9356 There is always two sides to a coin
How is catching them full of eggs sustainable?
459 feet long by 65 feet wide..DAMN that's pretty impressive for a fishing trawler
Excellent doc
As a Marine Engineer Grade 2 myself, losing the rudder is purely a lack of maintainence,, when the ship was in dry dock, the rudder post and prop shaft should have been pulled out and checked for fractures,,,, this is the companies fault by trying to save a few dollars by not doing it,, the result, loss of income, cost of tugs, more dry dock fees and cost of repairs to the vessel,, doing so in the first place would have been a fraction of the cost of losing the rudder
it is very weird tho, german companies are supposed to have high standards and dutch shipyards are also supposed to be top notch
As a marine engineer and surveyor for many years and, having seen failures of different sorts, the loss of a rudder is unusual. I would suggest that before making a statement "purely lack of maintenance" that you further investigate and determine the cause of what appears to have been the rudder stock failure. Experience will tell you that the root cause of a casualty or failure is often not what appears to be your first thought without all the facts. More facts would have been uncovered during the investigation. For example what was seen of the rudder stock fracture surface? When was the rudder stock last removed for inspection per Class requirements? What inspections on the rudder stock during the last examination were carried out? UT, MPI etc.? What metalurgical analysis was carried out on the fracture surface? Keep your mind open until you have all of the facts. If you know more facts from your personal examination or observations then you may speak with some knowledge, if not then your suggestion of cause is a bit premature. Perhaps, Welt has followed up and can provide additional findings to the viewers of this well done documentary.
@@johnattersley2135 would watch "episode 2 - investigation" at anytime
@@johnattersley2135 so true. Well said.
Indeed, trying to save some pennies...
Great they catch the fish before they spawn, not good for sustaining the fishery.
I enjoyed watching .Good documentary/Gops from London.
Is London fallen down?
Very impressive and lovely.
Those men are tough and strong 💪🏼
2000 tons of fish live another day.
They ate the rotor
Ty for sharing
That's some rugged crew. Good to see what the modern day pirates are up to these days!!! Very productive 💯❣
