Heavy Sea

[chukebzz]

Im a marine student.. i cant wait how this it feel XD

[Funnyhns]

i will seaman

[DesertRat1231]

and that is why i will always fly

[OMBIC]

EVERY CRACK IS A WELD GOING AND YOU LOL AT IT..... x2cls boilermaker

[everthinka]

Absolutely superb video.Like the way you shot footage of different areas of the ship in a storm.Makes me want to see and feel what it's like to be there.Thanks

[metako72]

@everthinka i dont think you REALLY would want to feel that trust me lol

[bhempy9]

Hell yeah sign me up

[teabagginue]

Wow awesome vid!

[vmedvedev0207]

i will go at SEA PRACTICE IN TWO WEEKS , FOR 4 MONTH , IT WILL BE SCARY FOR THE FIRST TIME

[Alex4ander3000]

i tell you the sound that ship make in those condition are from horror movies

[SweetTeufelin]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..omg­..super video sehr aufregend..das meer und seine geheimnisse..respekt von deiner arbeit..ich fahre 1 tour mit^^

[Roskellan]

Metal fatigue and salt water corrosion are the first things that come to mind, shortly followed by capsized, washed overboard and sunk without trace.

[wordreet]

Woooo! Excellent video! Looking at your face, and having checked the history of Cyclone/Typhoon Banyan, you've probably experiencing up to 70mph winds there!! Not pleasant!

[maxliter]

Real motion!

[RIPopperman]

if a boat that big was built rigid it would weight more than it could carry.

[BuclkeNutz]

Shit, I would be wanting off that ship so bad I would be whimpering like a little girl and smelling like poo.

[midgetghost]

increible como flexa el barco :O

[pillowbugg]

That would scare the shit out of me!! No way! I couldn't do that.....

"2012 The Movie"

[ronnystoehr]

@calmsilencewind Send me all your money on dec 20 2012, okay?

[calmsilencewind]

@ronnystoehr what you gon need it for

you gonna die the next day

[ronnystoehr]

@calmsilencewind Wooosh, right over your head... If you KNOW that the world is ending, what's the harm in getting rid of your money a day before? Ok, a less greedy suggestion: donate all your money to a charity a day before. Should the world not end, you're just poor but alive. Come on, you're sure the world is gonna end, right?

[xylfox]

I love heavy sea. Would desperatly like to be on this ship in the pacific .GREAT!!!

[scratchneck]

is this the tsunami?

[mastership90]

00:25 very good

[datnotfair]

whats life onboard these ships? I am thinking about being an officer in the merchant navy

[atlanticcoastexpress]

It was fascinating to see your ship flexing in such heavy weather! Did you lose any containers in the storm? (they are occasionally washed up on the English Coast). I served in the Royal Navy and our much, much smaller ships spent most of the time under the water in such weather! I admire what you do! From a (very much) retired British Pusser.

RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE THATH WORK WHIT THE SEA

[sappiou]

i have never worked in a ship and i would really wanted to know how can i take such a job and the risks i might regret. if anyone knows pm me

[poseidon231278]

Thank`s for your nice comments. Nice that you like the video!

[nemo227]

I think the whole crew really earned their money on this trip. Let's put all the politicians on ships for six months or a year. They can find out how tough it is to earn money - maybe they won't be so eager to waste it.

[YogiStrikez]

chuck norris surfes on this waves

[cj382]

man you've got to have a big pair...to be out there with that ship.

[michealallin]

Great Video. The Captain is Amazing. Talk about lives in peoples hands. Not to mention all that cargo and the ship itself. Hi 5 to the Captain and his Crew you guy's are Awesome.

[Mouadyb]

Da könnte man glatt denken das schiff besteht aus plastik so wie es sich im innenraum bewegt...

[JohnAllanification]

that fellah's out in the open like that as to allow nature to clear the log of shit out of his pant's.

[lonedoghowling]

When I was about 10 years old I watched the wings on a jetliner flex the same way. Didn't ask anyone about it,  just accepted imminent death.

[tupsumato]

@lonedoghowling, it's normal for the wings to flex. 

[lonedoghowling]

@tupsumato

you're 43 years too late.

Dude never made it.

[Floridalover95]

WoWWWWW The way in the ship xD

[kiwinrg]

fuck yeah check out the flex on the inside shots ,

[Ice2watcher]

a ship in a storm must be a scary place to be.

[WhiteGangster400]

LOOK AT THAT FLEX >:)

[Opelneuling]

wow flexible

[rainer54]

how do all the containers stay on the ship?

[notalott]

@rainer54 the same way they stay on a truck chassis or doublestacked on railcars. they interlock at the corners

[hearts76100]

FUCK THAT

[Henipah]

@hearts76100 My thoughts exactly.

[RODALCO2007]

Amazing footage

[sickofthelies99]

Just another day in the north Atlantic/Pacific in the winter.

[camiloolartevideos]

#omg

[welfinator]

i really want to experience this, how can I get a job on a boat like this? Please somebody tell me, this is my dream.

[sickofthelies99]

@welfinator

If you want to be an officer go to a Maritime Academy. USMMA, CMA, SUNY Maritime, Mass Maritime, or Maine Maritime

For crew your best bet is probably SIU Union.

If you want to get in a U.S. ship. The ship in the video looks like an Evergreen Lines probably Panama Flagged ship.

[motonegros]

@sickofthelies99

Right you are Sir, Or he could hausepipe it, like some of us did. Made my first trip as an ordinary seaman, transferred to engine as a wiper and 20 years later I sat for and passed my 2nd Engineers exam, steam and diesel, unlimited baby!

Frikkin' lot of sea time though. And you hardly ever get ashore nowadays.

In the days of the stickship steamers we'de spend weeks in great ports.

[woudjee2]

woooooow, that's what you call a wave!

[FPVsean]

i normally can see myself in thes kind of situations and say, yeah sure its not a big deal, the ship can take it, but seriously, id be fucking freaked out looking at that hallway

[NorthseaWarrior]

I was on a vessel of the same size! It's a Panmax Vessel, right?

In the Caribean Sea, near Freeport, we was suprised by an tropical storm!

It was nice!^^

Good Video, greatings from Germany!

[edofarabia]

It's like something out of "The Shining"

[sixamsedna]

thanks a lot for those passageway videos. Love the heavy industrialism, the bending metal echoes.

[Kroy5312]

All the guys that do this are brave motherfuckers! I wish i had balls enough to do it.

[seymark2]

oh My God i was scared watching this.. well this are jobs for some men.. may God guide you guys... travelling on this from one destination to the other is just for u to feed your family.. life aint easy... safe Journey folks.. good experience but a risky job...

[shawmutt]

OK then...add this to the list of things I don't want to do as a job...jeez...

[tunastrike11]

If it dont bend it would break

[tupsumato]

@tunastrike11, what's the physical background of this?

[Lamb00FGoD]

1:52 that guy shows like no fear.

[PinkSeries]

What is the name of the vessel?

[boognish1975]

lol wacky boat! wacky boat!

[kalinga01]

the same thing happens on a cruise ship when too many fat chicks are on board

[thematster]

jesus christ it never occured to me they must flaex the same as a building in the wind or an earth quake.....scary to look at from the inside..!

[ShwangShwing]

are they designed to flex?

[sjabla]

@ShwangShwing They need to have flexing metal, or the ship would break.

[tupsumato]

@ShwangShwing, not really. It's a side effect that must be taken into account.

[justanotherengine]

There go the Hot Dogs... folllowed by Carrots, and coffee

[MrAnon95]

at first i would be like O_O, then i would be like O_O, and rattle at 00:25 would scare the crud out of me, and then i would be like O_O.

[Doc40]

That's amazing!!!!

[KickF]

If you think this is freaky just look oneof those "wing break test" ... a ship that "break" will just tear itself apart and sink, but with airplanes ... it`s pretty mush just "boom" and your done for it xD

[davyboy101]

jumpin jesus i would have shat my feckin pants!

[maxdamage1983]

Tell me, those sounds i heard below deck was just some pipes clanking around, right... right? Not a strut snapping..

[BankScamTakeover]

Jesus christ!

[yatter1]

uri geller can´t compete

[transdrole]

Hurry up with those cheap asian goods. We still have a few jobs to erase over here.

[wape1971]

the best video ever !!!

[kmklover]

Thatd be fun walking down that hallway. Then id throw up everywhere.

[41153010]

awesome! incredible. This ship is so strong and flexibel!!! excelent video

[stakeee]

is the bending of the ship safe?

[tovemaersk]

@stakeee if the ship didnt bend it would brake, the shoot is taken in the torsion boxez which run the lenght of the vessel, they provide the strength and flex.

[tupsumato]

@tovemaersk, are you sure? I don't think the bending reduces the stresses that much. It's just the nature of the steel structures - they bend and flex. If you managed to make a stiffer hull, it would bend less.

[tovemaersk]

@tupsumato stiffer hull equals less comfoartable ride, also if it doesnt bend it brakes, flex is accounted for and engineered into a ships design, flex is not a bad thing.

[tupsumato]

@tovemaersk, the deflections are not large enough in comparison with the dimensions of the ship to affect the "comfortability of the ride". The ship does not follow the shape of the waves.

.

Could you explain the physical background of your claim about the ship breaking if it wasn't flexing? Which one you think is the most durable, a girder made of steel or a girder made of wood or rubber? The two latter flex more, but I don't think their ultimate strength is as good as that of the steel girder.

[tupsumato]

@tovemaersk, I wouldn't say that flexing is a desired effect, especially in a container ship. It can lead to fatigue damage, cracks and so on. Also, if the deflections are large enough, they can damage the rails used to load the containers in the holds, jamming the former to the latter. In long container ships such as Emma Maersk they can mess the alignment of the shaftline.

.

I think they are just something a ship designer has to live with, because they can not be erased economically.

[tupsumato]

@stakeee, while the ship is not "designed to bend" like some people here claim, elastic deformations are quite likely taken into account in the design process, so nothing breaks even if the hull flexes a bit.

[stakeee]

yes, its logical, i just didnt knew it properly

[tupsumato]

@stakeee, no problem. Before this spring I also thought that the hull must flex so that it won't crack. Now, after taking a course on ship structures, I know that, well, it's just an effect of the bending moments, not a requirement (since the ship can not be flexible /enough/ so that there would be some benefits from it).

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@tupsumato Yeah this is my point I'm trying to make. You are contradicting yourself here a bit too. You say that the ship is not designed to bend, but then you say it is taken into account into the design. Well this means that the ship is designed with respect to the materials and hence it is designed to allow for deformation. It's hand in hand one and the same thing. They won't make it flop like jelly, but they do know that complete rigidity can be catastrophic if a weakness occurs.

[tupsumato]

@LOLDISNEYLAND, what I mean that flexing and bending is not the aim of the design process (i.e. it's not designed to bend, more like it's designed so that the bending is minimized), but it's still taken into account in the design process (so that if the hull flexes, pipes etc. won't buckle and burst).

[tupsumato]

"Pipes etc." mean evereything that's not part of the load-bearing structure of the hull girder. It's also important that watertight doors and hatches close properly, hoistable car decks won't get stuck etc.

.

I could've said that the hull girder is designed to bend and flex as little as possible, but bending and flexing is taken into account in the design of the other parts of the ship.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@tupsumato yeah i see your point. The whole ship must be created to evenly distribute the forces over the whole ship. The flexing of the steel is just inherent to the physical properties of the steel. You make a valid point about design. It's known that the containers may not deform to the same degree that the ship does, so this causes problems of various sorts and hence ship designers want a ship to be as rigid as possible.

[tupsumato]

@LOLDISNEYLAND, actually you can't distribute the loads over the whole ship. The normal stresses on longitudinal structural members are always the greatest in the middle of the ship and get smaller towards the bow and the stern.

.

Also, when you think about it, the more the ship bends, the closer it is to the point in which elastic deformations become plastic. Less bending means that we're further away from large, catastrophic deformations.

.

Anyway, that was pretty much my point.

[tupsumato]

@LOLDISNEYLAND, as for "complete rigidity", I think the aim is to design a ship in which the deformations are as small as possible. If they could make a ship that was completely rigid, I bet they would. The hull never deforms enough so that it would have an effect on the bending moments, pressure distribution etc. It's still made of steel, not some brittle material that would crack and break if it didn't flex.

[Helmutlozzi]

awesome video :)

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

wow! That ship needs a lot of flex, or else it would break in half. The wind and oncoming waves would have been wasting a lot of that ships fuel as well..

[tupsumato]

@LOLDISNEYLAND, how so? I don't think such deformations are required for the durability of the hull...

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@tupsumato if you have stresses and strains being concentrated on the joints because the metal skin is not very flexible, the joints will fail or sheer over time. The skin takes on and distributes the load and transfers less forces to the joints if the skin is flexible. Flexibility and material strength is what makes an indestructible object.

[tupsumato]

@LOLDISNEYLAND, when you design a ship's hull, you aim for maximum longitudinal strength with the given border conditions and targets (price, weight). Then you check how the hull will behave in extreme design conditions, note the results (maximum deformation etc.) and keep them in mind for later use. If the deformations are too great despite the hull girder being strong enough, you add extra steel or otherwise change it. Greater strength results in less deformations, and it can't be too strong.

[c9qjyq3]

omg i would have shit a a brick....when i saw the ship flexing like that.

[theoldgalah]

If it didn't flex that little bit it would break.They are designed to do this.

[NilsonCorral]

omfg that bending part......abandon ship!!

[318Captain]

Omg...I didnt know they bent like that.....holy crap. 

[maximumdosile]

shittttt

[celsis01]

Looks like fun on the welldeck!

[Gaivotarebelo]

amamzing ship bend's. that image from the corredor inside is just awesome!!

[cocipatr]

Where are the somali pirates with their small boats?

[michaelbrick85]

is that boat designed to bend like that?

[tupsumato]

@michaelbrick85, I don't think you can design it not to bend...

[justaman6972]

two words ,fuck that!

[kopronko]

Terrible ... !!!

[9501599]

Hi great video looks like another day at the office only it rolls then goes up and down really enjoyed it cheers.

[slotboy86]

that is cool!! was in the same sort of weather on a 100m long ship for 10 days!! fun at first but soon had enough when u cant sleep! lol

[Flaakoh]

Nunca pensé que fuera tan flexible un barco... :O

[denardy]

Great video!

[oscarfouz23]

lol i wuold take a shit 0.0 if i was in that hallway

[stiimpreza1984]

awesome vid

[mrfirewolf]

0:35.. loud metallic snap... oh shit!!!!!! how long can we tread water?? lol

[drunkhomer]

i'd be scared shitless to see the hull flex like that

[popsnacks2]

did u guys know these enormus ships only have like a crew of 23 or 11? please prove me wrong if im wrong but my cus told me....HOW DOES A SHIP BEND LIKE THAT!

[tupsumato]

@popsnacks2, cargo ships generally have around two dozen crew members. It depends on the size and type of the ship, so some have more, some have less. I once went to a ~170 m (558 ft.) cargo ship that had a crew of less than ten. As for the flexing, the ship is made of steel and steel flexes if enough force/moment is applied, so...

[teemuruskeepaa]

Not for wanna-be sailors

[XboxPhantom]

So thats why my couch was wet =P

[panish]

1:52 is the best part. Amazing footage.

[Givemeafinname]

Thats serious flexing in the hull thats discovery channel material..

[Dillinger128]

agreed!... absolutely amazing footage!

[RightWingDown]

Badd Ass, man. I only served as crew on a 14M sloop in the Med to the Americas... that was some adventure!!! Nothing compared to this! Crossing the shipping lanes & outrunning a few tropical storms was the highlight.... my first Atlantic Crossing E to West. I know the shipping lines pay like shit, but Jesus... glad you made it home okay.

[cabrio379]

Sorry, my english is not the best,

Here i must think at my son . He is a shipmechanik . I´m seasick if i see this pictures!

[ELDO16V]

Omg... was für Kräfte.... Oo

[PaleHearse]

Good grief!

The hallway flexing was crazy.

[andreshates]

I would freak out if i saw the ship flexing like that lol

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

If it was not flexing it will break in two. hink abou it !

[ribinoct76]

@andreshates I'm with you, I'd be shittin bricks.

[pootubeftw]

@andreshates

i would just be inspired and start flexing my pecs.

[4yn5]

O navio enverga a sua estrutura wow.

[realest3o5]

crazy stuff the captain is out of his mind good video

[lepernz]

boat bending awesome shot

[incrxheaven]

@lepernz yea fuck that lol . ima keep my ass on firm ground.

[pablof59]

@lepernz Fortunately is not made of concret!

[Fastbikkel]

@lepernz Indeed, what a sight :-) It actually makes sense, if it would be stiff, it would break.

[tupsumato]

@Fastbikkel, why? If it was strong enough to not to flex visibly, wouldn't it just be... stronger? It's not like the hull follows the waves by bending.

[Fastbikkel]

@tupsumato It could be made stiff and strong, but it would be very very heavy. This is just a smart way of engineering.

Big sky scrapers use the same principle.

[tupsumato]

@Fastbikkel, that is correct. However, I still don't agree with the "stiff would break" idea as long as the ship is built of steel. Increasing longitudinal strength and stiffness does not make the hull girder more susceptible for damage.

[cardy987]

ha like fuck would you get me on that ship

[folion37130]

i was thinking the same thing :|

[msumungo]

Flexy is sexy, lol.

Yo dudes, does anybody know if there's normally any permanent strain gages installed in ship's hull structures?

[Eriand89]

Most likely, yeah.

[SlLENTHlLL]

I'm very disappointed. I expected to see Snake in the corridors fighting russian soldiers...

Where's Ocelot? Where's the soldier with headphones listening to music?

They could have at least shot some of the lightbulbs.
