[jamestt66]

This is just painful...so is Seaspan...hated workin there and waiting for work being lied to by retards in office..just clueless training program aswell...training guy training the dh's there was the biggest tard on the entire coast...whole experience.....Painful!

[MrNeocaligus]

after some reasearch i now can say its the SEASPAN REGENT. Its now retired though.

[lucy327rss]

that isn't and accident. re-rig and do it again, big fuckin deal. its like an excavator loosing a boulder.

[leydenzar]

thats the bundlers fault he's wrapping the bundles way too loose

[nestojames]

It's the Seaspan Regent

[MrNeocaligus]

DAG!! it fell off Ahahahaha thats awesome!!! Nice talk.

[doughesson]

If it's so awesome,why'd you turn the camera away from the scene?What if something else happened?

[farrelljohnson]

"wow that's awesome" shut it ye tick!! Not even your mate gives a shit about it. He is just walking away

[jimdreferee]

Wooo! A log fell off, AWESOME, get a life

[Claybreaker2]

I see this and gotta smile, a fucking hunk of floating steeling, two cranes put on it, the cranes LOADING huge fucking logs onto it, then shipping them to a mill and turning that wood into houses, furniture, baseball bats, toothpicks, on and on............. What can't the human mind and body not accomplish?

[parcigneau]

Hey Behn,how long ago was this taken?

[parcigneau]

I know this place,my dad worked there,its M&B near allaford bay,AND THEY ARE LOADING FOR SURE

[vossejongk]

Dammit, no lunch break today.

[smokum0]

HA HA DOH!!

[huntnfishtosurvive]

at least that bundle fell back off the loading side. when they break apart and fall off the side opposite the cranes then its a pain in the ass

[born2clearcut]

no not Capt Bob

[huntnfishtosurvive]

is that captain bob tug??? PS anyine against logging should try wiping thier asses with plastic. Clearcuts are Beautiful!!

[SkooterBush]

@huntnfishtosurvive

logging is VERY necessary, but we need to replace what we take. as we strip a forest, we need to plant more seeds. it keeps our supply of lumber constant.

[huntnfishtosurvive]

@SkooterBush I saw a born to clearcut bumber sticker once, it was funny. But yea im pretty sure its the law now, in B.C. anyways, that every block that gets logged MUST be replanted within a certain time after ( i forget how long they have).

[SebastianLong]

@SkooterBush forests arent "stripped" any more unless its a manmade forest specially planted to be harvested for its timber...otherwise the machines have come a long way to avoid destroying the young, unuseable trees...now they have machines they can pick out individual trees...feller bunchers...and save the forests

[SkooterBush]

@SebastianLong Oh, ok. Cool.

[vossejongk]

@SebastianLong

Not the "western world" forests. But go to places like South America (especially the Amazone), Asia or the rainforests in Africa. Illegal logging all over the place. And when they're done, they make farmland out of it which only last a few years after it's exhausted.

What's left behind is bare ground with all the consequences you get with that (mud flows ect) destroying even more crops, and the cycle continues.

[BlackMac525]

@huntnfishtosurvive it looks like the regent and they are loading the barge and the bundle broke it happes all the time no big deal really just load them back in the bunk and restrap them

[MrNeocaligus]

@huntnfishtosurvive Its either SEASPAN REGENT or SEASPAN KING. I cant really tell.

[HHodges710]

did i miss something here, i was thinking i was going to see some form of an accident when i saw normal operation

[joeyhitchins]

dud e how about an appropriate title

[jusportel]

That's just a normal part of loading. Sometimes the bundles break open, and the logs slip out of the grapple. They pick them up and load them again.

[BenetFleck]

back when there were trees

[DonBringer]

ILLEGAL LOGGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe ^_^

[Copperswilly]

its a logging barge....their logging

[towertooth456]

D'OH!!  lol

[Jesant13]

It isn't really "cool", considering the huge mess they made and how much time it would have taken to clean the mess up.

[grandtheftbutthole]

logs dont make that big of a mess

[siahnide]

yea these log barges dont use ballast to unload the logs. on one side of the barge they have 2or 3 very large tanks that get filled with water called "tipping tanks"

[Jjjj2828]

yeah, my buddy's Dad loads those things. He's the provincial expert in that line of work.

[shmag99]

2 years ago i went to camp with my dad in the charlottes and i remember seeing these

[darthirule]

lol try again.

[ROKHOWND]

Tug Seaspan Regent,Log Barge Seaspan Phoenix.

The cranes are loading, sometimes logs slip

out of the grapple.

When tug/barge reach destination,barge is

ballasted down, tipping tanks opened on side of barge allowing barge to heel over 26 or so degrees. Barge load slides off.If it doesn't dump,then they may reload or offload using the

cranes.

Phoenix capsized while dumping in Howe Sound

4or5 yrs ago.Was salvaged and put back into

service.Was Seaspan Rigger.

It was salvaged and renamed Phoenix.

[RichardF41230]

i dont know what the guy under this comment im leaving is talking about because ballast control is when you pump in or out water in the ballast tanks to keep a type of boat or a oil rig level while its in water to compensate for a un even load and they can be used for a lot of different things so i just figured i would point that out and im pretty sure im right but not 100% but i am 90% (i hope) lol

[Jjjj2828]

But it is how they handle these barges as they are loading and off loading.

[johnnyrebelOWNS]

idiots..watch the discovery channel sumtimes... thats how they unload their cargo, by drafting up to 40 degrees to unload. its called ballast control buddie

[behncochrane]

They are not unloading at this point "buddie". They are loading the bundles so go back to your TV and tell me how much of an expert you are.

[tekinak007]

@johnnyrebelOWNS Ah... you are retarded yes? If you are going to pretend to be an expert, you might want to actually know wtf you are talking about, even if its just a little bit.

1) They are not unloading.

2) They are loading.

3) They are not unloading... I say this again as you seem pretty dense.

[SebastianLong]

@tekinak007 hey...it is unloading...unloading itself right back into the water...guess he figured that bunch was better loaded half in the water so he could fit more on the boat XD

[Sirenssneris]

Were they trying to pick them back up? Lol, the logs are already ruined?

[bugsier5]

that's how the normally unload, nothing special!

[MrNeocaligus]

@bugsier5 There not unloading. There loading up the log barge which will probally either go to Ladysmith Bc Fraser Mills or Port Mellon Pulp Mill. They unload by flooding the barge so it tips to the side than eventually all the logs fall off. This barge is what they call a "self dumping lot barge".

[vrmmarine]

@MrNeocaligus i know!, thats why i've placed a commend , the normally tip the barge over to unload.

nothing at fould here!

[coastalman226]

yeah, wow, yeah that's awesome, sucked is more like it

[ThomasnBear1D3]

Woops! LOL!

[leogordon]

hahaha ooops
