[TheShAdOwFoRm]

Screw that!!!

[LordSnow1488]

[unscrup123]

[Lowlightindicator]

That's just.....ridiculous. Nice vid

[ryanmxn]

I would shit my pants.

[murheed1]

[DiMoNico1981Swe]

I want to swim there naked =)

[Angeloo112]

i give my life for surfear this Wave

[SebastianRudy]

[MegaRusshich]

@SebastianRudy No way indeed. That wave look like fucking 40m

[nevaCis]

[Quangish]

i would be scared

[foleystephen]

Must get some chairs ordered without wheels!

[debelabibica]

nice video! would like to see more of these bro

[Irtuk]

sick.

[grandagraeme]

I have worked on this FPSO since it left the yard nearly 11 years ago,I can assure you this is REAL.Most bad weather hits us out there at night so you can emagine trying to cook and bake with all this movement.NOT EASY.

[Average0Lifer]

omg is the water ok?

[Zenda2star]

WOW that is mental!!!!!!!!!!1

[LeaWe1990]

scary

[FettHungrig]

i got seasick watching this... huh

[icedriveH]

is it kamino in star wars battlefront 2 ?! ;D

[iuiman1]

These are big and they don't look like they will break for a while so I would bodyboard them but not bodysurf them

[ewanfletch]

As for the alarms being play through a speaker ... Obviously!! WTF else would it be played through?

The ship has a few anchors and as it's pushed back by the waves the alarms tell the Control Room the tensions are getting to there limit

[ewanfletch]

Having spent the last 6 years on this ship in the UK north sea i can promise you none of it is fake, or a game. This wasn't the worst part of that storm that came in pitch black and was over 28m.

The the person saying the waves aren't 22m, your right. The vessel is HEAVING 22metres, as it is around 200m long and the deck you see above is a full size helideck.

It is measured with equipment on board that can track the vessel, heave pitch roll and loads more useful info.

[ReCoNNeCt100]

fake



[Trouttaranaki]

Nice vid, I worked on an FPSO for a few years, we had some BIG waves but nothing like that

[Buzmoo]

Why didn't you surf em waves?! :|

[katallan1]

omg scary

[Fikcik120]

Wielkie flae :/

[asas2jh]

WOW!

[dvent536]

Those waves look like the same sized waves in a Hurricane, on high seas....

[furiousmat]

@theokondak yeah well ... the linear model is just that. a model. and it is known to have its limits. mathematics of oceanic waves are still very basic and the non linear models are still mostly inconclusive or flawed.

[Theokondak]

@furiousmat well if in the oceans are normal waves that can reach 22 and as stated above 27 meters, then what if a rogue wave apears?Theoreticaly it could reach the double which is 44 and 54meters, if the whole thing works like scientists clame, then this is hell of a wave..

[vampir94]

That's a nature in it's full beauty.

[beralder9]

these seem to be the biggest waves on this kink of video on youtube...

you kinda "lucky"..

maybe

[tazjada]

I'd be fucking throwing up all over the place

[pureXstratigy]

how weren't you shaking with the camera i wouldn't even be on that deck i would be praying in my cabin lol

[Theokondak]

According to linear model,which is the standard model,max height of a normal wave, created by wind forces can be 15 meters.Thus there is no 22 meters wave as u state,excluded Rogue Waves.Rogue Waves can be up to 30 meters but they are extremely rare.

[normski1369]

@Theokondak Well, being a failry frequent visitor to the GP3, I can tell you that they have equipment on board for measuring wave height. I've felt the effects of a 23 metre wave - and I believe the largest they have been hit by is 27 or 29 metres.

[88Dinger]

@Theokondak Very true. As a career sailor I have seen some very very heavy seas. I have been in hurricanes and the absolute most you tend to get in even the worst weather is 12 to 14 M and that is very rare. I have been out in seas this size and can tell you straight up that this is not even CLOSE to the claim of 22m. 8M tends to bury the bridge of a frigate and we sail BIG frigates not the conventional size that most people think of. 10M seas are enough to put most real sailors in their racks.

[MrSoffiodihorus]

all the wave doesn't look that big but the one that the ship was climbing looks a bit bigger...

[itix1]

@88Dinger I've been out in 16 m waves and over 35 m/s winds off the cost of ireland on my way across the Atlantic in a 295 m long ship (Atlantic Concert). We got the (then) biggest ramp in the world bent by a massive wave and took in water on main deck. We lost a few containers that were ripped out of the cell guide system.

She is still the worlds largest RORO/LOLO today and she took a massive beating.

All because we made a mistake with the weather calculations.

22m = certain death!

[Ebsteins31653]

@itix1 Brilliant comment itix1! As regards the weather calculations, how 'accurate' and 'changeable' are the meteorogical algorithms as regards on-board computer assessments? Do you find it necessary to perform your own calculations in keeping with the computer predictions,- or do you take the software projection and forecast with the proverbial dose of salt? It must be outrageously frightening when caught-up in these 'mountainous' seas! Best wishes. Ebs

[itix1]

@Ebsteins31653 This was in -99 and we did not have computer assessments regarding weather. Just regular weather reports from VTS stations and meteorological service stations around the world (which then based their weather service on reports from ships like the Atlantic Concert and her sisters rather than baloons).

It was the master who did a very rare mistake of judging how the low pressure system would move and chose to go north of Ireland instead of south en route to Halifax from Liverpool.

[itix1]

@Ebsteins31653 ...and honestly I was quite calm. As long as the engine is running, the ship is moving forward and the emergency flooding pumps (don't know if that is the appropriate englisg term for the Swedish word stormläns) are capable of removing the water from main deck, there is no real danger.

It was difficult moving around though. Like climbing a mountain that suddenly turned into a steep drop.

[webclipper]

Really amazing, gave me ducky-bumps... golly!

I'm amazed they re rendering this really amazing ocean in Killzone 3 for the playstation 3:

watch?v=D_SDPbuuGy8

[tealmarlin]

those are not 22m waves

[Blaven233]

@tealmarlin yes they are

[normski1369]

@tealmarlin The GP3 is 200 metres long. It's a big ship. That should put it in perspective.

[draker696]

Awesome graphics.

[Dargakis]

great vid! feel seasick already :P

[jambo262626]

get the fuck off the boat lol

[worriesovernothing]

[redgaridose]

LOL you got more balls than i have being on that ship lol

[czeSpaCe]

@conajh How does it come, that the North Sea is so stormy? I was once in Netherlands and I was very impressed by the look of the North Sea. It looks like you know whats going on here so could you somehow explain it to me?

[RonalGinho1990]

@redgaridose Noooooo

they are on an airplane

[theprayerpker]

Dude i was one time with my dad wen i was 12 and it was 15 or 17meters waves and i was suck all the time and it was like 2days i never for get this..=(

[CarlLewenski]

I watched this over and over, absolutely awesome! But then, I am that guy who is following the storm in his car when there is a tornado warning!

[shaneknee]

This is no game, I can assure you.

[Cazzandrablue]

scary x

[thedrummerboy1]
