  • Fascinating video! I would not want to be at the stem of that ship about that time.

    I presume the whole crew avoids any on deck operations at that time, right???

    Love those ships...my respect for all those who sail them.

  • ARISTOTLE S ONASSIS

  • wow. I should be taking my camera onboard next time

  • 2 WEEKS LATER...

    LAND HO!

  • Wonder what would happen if you rain out of gas

    

  • @MrPimpwalker it would stop

  • 0-100 ü kaç bunun :))

  • ΖΗΤΩ Η ΕΛΛΑΣ

  • Simply Amazing. Next time please made a longer video.

  • Coffee brewing on the bridge and the smell of Eggs and Sausage frying in the Galley. Very nice :)

  • this is "moderate"????hot damn im happy im not a sea man

  • the ship makes the waves look like ant intel they hit it

  • What, if this Suezmax tanker has to pass Kergueles Islands on the way from BuenosAires.ar to Perth.au, after 2 third of trip, in UNMODERATE weather?

    Peut'etre mème les plus grandes bateaux jamais passeras les Isles Kergueles.

    Passage mortuelle?

  • NICE SHIP,I WILL TRY TO WORK IN OIL TANKER AS CAPTAIN

  • @rethimiotis7 why oil tanker, container ships and bulk are far better

  • @AtomicCheese92 ye,actually tanker is a bit dangerous as i know...

  • @rethimiotis7 but container/bulk go everywhere, oil tankers usually go through the same route every time, and sometimes they dont even dock on land, they stop out at sea and smaller tankers take oil in or a pipe

  • this is cga , 100% fake

  • i photographed a tanker like this one while i was in houston tx

  • more MN vidoes pls....

  • visita boatsport punto es

  • A água é tão leve e mesmo assim consegue segurar navios tão pesados, isso é um grande mistério ...

  • how does one even get started if they want to work on ships like these? is it something you just have to be born into or have friends in? how can a typical person get into this line of work?

  • You have to be foreign. It's a job requirement. Other job requirements are very dark skin, eyes and hair. It also helps to have very poor english. Good luck!

  • indeed we all prefer eating burgers and peanut whole day , but a green card is required to do that... so "the foreigners" have to work for a living... as for the poor english i really cant justify them given that each fellow american can speak at least 3 other languages... !!!!

  • At least the majority of poor English have passports and travel. Now remind me of the proportion of Yankees that have passports...............Oh that's right you don't need them because you know everything about the world from the Simspons

  • Comment removed

  • @ak7274 the majority of Yankees dont travel simply because its not profitable for the big companies to hire them. No well educated american would agree to be responsible for ship and cargo costed hundreds of millions of dollars, for 8000 euro per month, doing hard work, far from social life, in hard living conditions.On the other hand these money are just fine for people from poorer countries where a medical doctor for example earns at about 1500 euro. So you are not better just more expensive.

  • First you need some qualifications. Either become an able seaman, or if you want to be an officer, you need to study at a university. This will be much quicker than working your way up the ranks, and today most shipowners won't let you near their ships without a degree anyway.

    I don't think nepotism is a very big problem in shipping, at least not in civilized countries. They have too much to loose by hiring some incompetent cousin of the shipowner, they want only the best.

  • on some companies you don't need university to be an officer, you can be even a first officer without university.te be a captain you'll need a university and captain exam.

  • According STCW all officers have to be qualified so that means they have to finished the merchant marine academy.After there are certain courses(C.O.W.,chemicals,RO-RO­,Medical,simulators e.t.c.)Iam A Captain on tankers.

  • yeah ofc, on some companies you can't be even a first officer without captain exam...

  • Baby what i'm talking happens in all companys European,American Asian and so on.They some times prefer ofc with higher licence.Ex. I was working as a Chief officer with Captain lic. for a year.

  • HEAR HEAR!

  • anyone from CMA??

  • where was this vid taken, wich waters?

  • VERY GOOD SHIP

  • is this one of the tanker pacific ships one of the seas line yellow sea china sea and red sea

  • Days like that make me think of the smell of Coffee brewing on the bridge and the smell of Eggs and Sausage frying in the Galley.

  • 2 of my uncles were captains on these kind of tankers many years ago - now they are retired - I remember in the 80s when my younger uncle would travel across the Atlantic ocean to Suez and he we wouldn't see him for 2 or 3 months.

  • Nice ship, pretty scary (for me) when the ship hits some big waves

  • hi mates

    i am an Apprentice officer on board oil tanker ( 329 as LOA)

    PLZ let me know what s the better for apprentice to start the career, on oil or LNG or chemical ??

    thanks for cooperation

  • I can recommend Chemical as for tankers go. They are way more advanced than oil tankers so its a lot more things to take into consideration. Many of workmates have gone from Chemical to Oil, but VERY few have gone the other way around. We had 52tanks totalling at 40.000m3. Never been on gas, except for ships that use gas for propulsion, but you still need some extra courses.

    Hope this cleared things up

  • True, chemical tankers are more advanced than crude oil tankers, but for obvious reasons. Mainly, because of the tank cleaning equipment and vapor return systems. However, the ultimate in luxury for seafarers is LNG tankers in regards to the comforts of the accomodation. In the last 13 years, I have been aboard many thousands of ships as a Cargo Loss Control analyst.

  • I have no problems believing that LNG-tankers has good accommodations. With large decktanks the ship need to have a large superstructure to satisfy IMO regulates for Visibility so there has to be a lot of "void" spaces that can be used for different luxuries for the crew. A female(!) 2nd mate i sailed with came from LNG and she said the ship even had its own hall for football , volleyball and similar sports.

  • different things,it depends to your skills and your desire for work,if we can say that c/o tanker is an easy ship,then after is a chemical and after an LNG where u really must have balls...

  • LNG is the easier than C/O tankers by far. The systems take your head for a spin to get used to, but if you listened in class then its not so bad. Inshallah, im going for combined ticket motor+steam.

  • anyone seen the palin vid?

  • Actually, I would think the waves are not that bad, it just looked more dramatic due to all the splashing since the ship was loaded hence the deck was very close to the water level.

  • What's the gross tonnage and LOA of that ship?

  • I would say around 240 - 270 m.

    Regards

  • 274m

  • dwt 301,000 tonnes grt 455,000 lenght overall 352m and beam 62m its the MT osprey.

  • man would be awsome to drive some big vessel like that! imagine!!

  • that was a big ship

  • that's a big bad ship

  • My name is tim pretty sure that is the IMT ship MT Osprey I sailed on it as fourth engineer about 3 years ago

  • daaaaaame amazing

  • which is the name of the tanker?

  • FOC for sure

  • what is the flag of this vessel

  • flah of this vsl was Turkey

  • wow! i want to board that vessel someday..!

  • Huge vessel, amazing

  • aynen :D

  • Awsome scale of ship.  Thanks

  • its amazing how they bend and flex

  • WOOOOW

  • waves has much less influence on such big tanker

  • I would like to work on a ship like this.

  • Damn, i have always been afraid open sea.. Its so huge. and when a storm comes u never know what happens next. but if u travel in big tankers like this, it would probably not bee so dangerous. this huge tankers are so heavy, and so big so little waves can't move on them.

  • WRONG!!!!

    See Titanic, Ocean Ranger, etc...

    Ain't nothing unsinkable

  • geminin uzunluğu konusunda bilgi verebilirmisin? Teşekkürler..
