If you don't get over your seasickness in the first two days you will keep it for the rest of your life! I went sailing from the UK to Holland in gale force 7/8, after we arrived it took me a day to get rid of the movement of the sea, sitting on a toilet a shore and holding the walls !
One of the bad things about those heavy bulkers going over long waves is hull stress. The rolling is not so bad for the hull's integrity, it's the torsion of unsupported weight in the middle of a big wave that plays hell on plate welds and fractures in keel strakes. They can only take so much. A bulker or a tanker is not a good place to be in these types of storms.
@Lex5576 Doesn't corrosion factor in another unknown? That is, how do you know an older ship, that has been operating in temperature climates for a decades or so, isn't structurally compromised? Stress crack type corrosion is difficult to detect. Stay safe out there, and take a look at that hull.
I wish I had gone into your line of work so I could join you.
Looks like an average day on a panamax bulker to me. Sea state looks to be around force 6 - nothing too dramatic. Vessel is rolling, but I don't see much pitching. I've only been working at sea for 43 years, so I could be wrong of course.
There are no heavy seas breaking over the deck - only spray so although it may look dramatic, it's very common and nothing special at all.

Bad weather is perfect for an good night sleep until you get those Low Sump alarms or sludge tank level alarms and the ME exhaust gas temps deviations. or that rolling AAA battery witch is still in your suitcase under your bunk:)
Taking a shower is also always quite an experience.
I guess the shaft generator was not able to maintain frequency ?
I'm interested in aerospace and rocket engineering, as well as stuff like this video illustrates, Am I best to look at doing a mechanical engineering bachelors or something else?
I was wondering: that roll of 20 degrees, a 70 million kg ship, that's a lot of energy. I guess there's no way to tamper it with the rudder is there? The rudder being beneath the center of mass and center of roll...
(Sorry, maybe a dumb question, I don't know much about ships or sailing.)
Just shows you the power of water. And the power of the atmosphere - the water didn't get into that state by itself.
In this sort of weather can you get much work done? Is this the norm? I love the scale of the vessel - waves crashing over the deck 1/4 of a kilometer away! Hats off to the engineers, is there any flex over the lenght of the ship?
@the4thlord Im feeling like vomiting after watching this video, i feel kinda dizzy....you guy's are great. Now i have so much of respect for the seafarers.
Maybe a large vessel is an advantage, but when you see this thing pitch that heavy, I should be really afraid of braking or a blackout of the engines, and than ending sidewards in the waves. Also my respect to the sailor men. Deffinately not another day at the office...
Incredible footage! What kind of cargo was this vessel transporting? And how is this cargo secured to prevent it from shifting in such rough seas (ie, so the vessel doesn't capsize due to a sudden weight imbalance)?
@ihavekankles As an engineer... its either 4 college years of Marine Engineering (Degree Course) or 4 years of Mechanical Engineering (Degree course) + a full year of workshop training for one to be eligible to join merchant ships as an Engineering officer. Then its a slow climb to the top with a series of examinations every few years to make you eligible for promotions!
OR you could be a deck officer, or OICNW. That really required education at a Maritime Academy.
This is terrible weather, but I rode tankers from Valdez to Long Beach. In the winter, when fully loaded and in bad weather, the main deck was constantly flooded. It looked like we were on a submarine!
The ships are built to withstand this for there 20 year life span. As long as the vessel is in good condition, it can withstand this weather.
@the4thlord hows the pay if dont mind me asking? i was working on a marine transportation degree before i joined the navy if that helps towards getting in
thank for good vdo.

Or did the vessel not had a shaft gen?
