Ship on ICE

[xtremetom180]

very interesting thanks

[mbleft]

I wouldnt be standing that close

[mingsorock3]

thump up if u think this ship could survive titanic

[ps2nolimits]

that is sick

[maple99z]

Incredible enough but they make it to their destination at that speed?

[tupsumato]

@maple99z, depends on the ice conditions. Ridges can be a pain in the aftship!

[Disposition446]

Greatest Video On Youtube Caps In The First Letter Of Every Word.

[niceparkjob]

Just askin for something bad to happen standing that close...glad nobody got hurt though! Great vid!

[craftsmank]

a little bit of ice breaking - the motor was a 24 hp saab.

[HuGx5]

this is probably over 10 000 HP

[tupsumato]

@HuGx5, 10,900 kW (14,600 hp).

[edulitto1]

Ohh mean that cool.

BRACHBOM

(ice breaks under theyr legs)

[ChopStickZero]

How does he judge whether the ice is not too thick so he wont get stuck ?

[tupsumato]

@ChopStickZero, experienced captains can "read" the ice field. Thick level ice is rarely a problem, but deep ridges and packed ice might be. Fortunately you can often spot the "sail" and either go around it or prepare to ram it.

[jmantheburninator]

Jesus!!!!! I thought the Coast Guard had big ones.

[nimalitharushe]

I am a cool and easygoing woman naneedj.info

[xx3z]

@Homoautokus Diesel ? nono ;)

[SkyyCaptainn]

Anyone want to hitch a ride? just take a rope with hook run to the ship trow the rope up and climb aboard.

[Printze91]

That is fukin siiick, i would scared as hell standing there :O

[muterinlaw]

that dose not look like ice on top of water

[SimpliztixX]

@muterinlaw what does it look like then?

[fsxpilot23]

i dare ya ta touch it...

[fsxpilot23]

i dare ya to touch it...

[2000jeepsahara]

imagine if you woke up and there was a ship 10 feet away on the ice.

[mark00050006]

Is this in the gulf of St. Lawrence? Amazing!

[ChopStickZero]

very kewl

[GoVNO1998]

haha its like a train but only in the water

[posro1988]

look at her go!

[Icetitan777]

awesome!

[CJBroesky]

It's actualy the weight of the ship that breaks the ice. The very front is on top.

[legilim3ns]

If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador!?

[857frank]

Stupendous sound. Magnificent clips like this often get ruined with music, not this one.

[pinickityme]

Awesome

[danytube88]

this is very impressive . i would like to see in reel and walking on the ocean

[bmxs101]

how did they get on the ice to take that video?

[SlLENTHlLL]

They just randomly happen to be there, taking a walk. Happens all the time.

[ozzy1351]

BMX,

They live there!!!

[Zorpho561]

@bmxs101 Just walked out their front door and out to the ice, I guess.

[12fishy]

you can see the ice cracking under the snow at 106 Nice!!

[carfanatic89]

you talking about some serious horsepower right there buddy

[tupsumato]

@carfanatic89, actually it has more to do with the hull shape, especially the stem angle, than just raw power, although it's of course needed.

.

There's really "something" in those ships that don't require icebreaker assistance...

[abh8765]

@carfanatic89 You got that right. But there ain't no turning around

got to keep going straight ahead if you can go.

[tupsumato]

@abh8765, modern icebreaking merchant ships can turn around in ice pretty easily since they have azimuthing thrusters. The Arctic is, however, quite old and has traditional propulsion arrangement, so turning would be a pain in the aft shoulders of the hull...

[tonybelf]

@tupsumato wow youve been on the artic?

[tupsumato]

@tonybelf, no, I haven't. That's just an observation based on what I've seen and read regarding the ship.

Actually my remark about the aft shoulders was more or less a joke - the loads are even greater for an Azipod-equipped ship when it's making sharp turns in ice. The loads are smaller for MV Arctic because it probably can't turn in ice without significant forward speed which makes the "angle of attack" of the ice considerably smaller. Or something...

[tonybelf]

@carfanatic89 that would mean you are from newfoundland lol

[jamlam39]

wow! its really looks like that chip travels on land....

[bluejeanss]

exactly i wouldnt stand anywhere near close to tht thing

[CaptainCruise1]

Sick i saw that ship in Quebec City:D. Amazing looking ship. :D

[kbadgett123]

Wow that is impressive. There is something cool about being near super powerful machines.

[tictac168]

it'll be cool when the ice cracks and you fall through.

[impavitus]

Cool is the right word for it!

[bluejeanss]

exactly

[deanrose100]

Video is of an OIL-BULK-ORE carrier named the MV Arctic. She's quite the vessel.

[pleutman]

like a martian sand ship ;¬)

[Snowabll1978]

What the F*** are you doing? RUN!!!!!!!

[13ig13o13]

LoL I want to DRIVe that ship looks fun,

nice fottage

[kkroto]

wuoaaww...this is badass !!

[ryeguy897]

wait....where did we park the car?

[dannnn94]

That is bad ass. 5*

[MsMareng]

This ship is not climbing on the ice. She has a large iceknife below the ice which is cutting through. The shape of the bow curls the ice to the sides.

She is great going ahead like this but turning is not so good and she needs an icebreaker in heavy ice.

Yes she is 1A Super and this is somewhere in the Arctic.

[asuban]

The car would be "sucked" under the ship eventually or it would just be pushed aside since the vessel goes so slow. The ship only does small fairway so the ice is really thick. This ship must have ice class 1 A Super because she doesn't have any ice breaker. Cool noises when the ice breaks.

[deanrose100]

You are right. I took this video clip a few years ago when we were landed on the ice to view the ship going through the ice. She is 1A Super and we do not use ice breaker assistance. She can do 3 kts in ice 1.5m thick. She can turn reasonably well and is a good vessel.

[elninojorge]

5/5*

[renanlombigous]

Nice vid man! It's great to see how she climb on ice and then the ice breaks right after of her bow. Tks for posting!

[gerax8800]

Its really cool!!!

[supermoto3453]

thats a solid 2' of ice fucking nuts

[enlamarsepesca]

how is posibol

[J0Boa]

yes, one of these shitty school buses

[kshin882002]

where is this at?

[vcMalice]

that would be so wild to stand right there

[Killie03]

Awesome. I sailed the ice-bound St Lawrence in ice-breaking bulk-carriers in the late 70's/ early 80's with SSM. Happy memories mostly, and a load of good photos. Must've looked like that as we thundered past I guess. Thanks for posting.

[1969MustangMACH1]

they have a bunch of these on the great lakes

[mezzobbra]

ice breakers contribute to global warming,and the reduction of the polar ice cap...

[2ndOfficerCHL]

So does everything else, pretty much.

[Cobra0911]

lol ! That is too funny.

[nbharakey]

POWERFUL

[Spookybird]

WOW! That is so cool. Does the ice you're standing on move?
