boat crash

[JVPRCNG]

Your Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

[jimbos4]

When the vessel comes out of dry dock it doesnt use its engines,its pulled via wires with a winch.in this case the dry dock winches to fast which causes the wires to part.the only job for the tug is to hold the vessel into the tide.when it happend a guy at the drydock got seriously hurt when the wire parted.

[470ohio]

Quick throw the bumpers out on the port bow.

[68Squid]

my eyes skipped right over "boat" to the word "crash" so i thought this video might have been "interesting"

[NatsTown2K10]

oooops......

[vincent7520]

the tug's line was way too short once the boat was off the dock… then again a secondary tugging (not necessarily 2nd tub boat) boat should have had a line on the starboard rear and pull it to put it in line once in the canal while the tug in front could have paid out his own line…

[jimbos4]

R u serious?the river is about 50m wide.the tugs purpose is to hold the vessel into the tide and let it swing round when its out of dry dock.

[crankatorium]

@jimbos4 What was the mistake then? Did the yacht captain accelerate improperly? Did the tug boat screw up their job?

[Yachite]

Who in their right mind does a short line tow period, In this situation a hip tow from the port quarter would of been the most effective



[crankatorium]

@Yachite Wow, you seem to know a lot about boats. May I ask what you do for a living so that I know what job to strive for in order for me to have a yacht of my own? THANK YOU!

[straka88]

it bumped slightly into the dock. this is like calling a video of a car gently rubbing its tire against the curb a "car crash" .. people need to understand that minor incidents do not have entertainment value.

[crankatorium]

@straka88 I found it incredibly entertaining and educational.

[4ucarlosmurphy]

I musta missed the crash, do I hafta watch again???

[zzp1]

Je sleeplijn is te kort en je trekt aan de verkeerde kant. Je schroefwater drukt de boot de verkeerde kant uit. Eerst maar ' s leren slepen ........

[coolsax64]

As stated by nevs3151, he is absolutly correct. The tug needs to push on the vessels port side. This is basic seamanship...

[jjdiver]

I wonder what it cost to fix the damage.

[ROHDEOOO]

My, how things can get F_____ up so fast!!

[thresher4]

can't drive it,park it.

[youngvw]

Now, on to to the robotic vagina 

[davetherave7]

Jesus, that was a short trip.... Out of dry dock, 3 minutes in the harbour and then it's time to return to the dry dock for repairs....

[shawnsanc01]

who ever was piloting the Nico is a Fucking Moron. does he not know how to use the throttle to help control the boat. and the pilot of the tug is a dumb ass as well cause i didnt hear anyone saying STOP!!!! They all need to lose there jobs.

[FOscum]

What a F'ing Plonker.This tug operate should stick to driing passenger buses on the road

[bear1507]

The first mistake, do we now what a bridle is?

[hellsbaby127]

I presume ship simulator was different?

[highvelocity123]

I have watched 5 times and it keeps getting funnier...

[Niobifyed]

Oh well.. Look at the bright side, He is close to a dry dock ;)

[TheTouchphone]

SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPECSAVERS

[NowLifeStarts]

Start at 1:50 unless you want to watch nearly 2 minutes of nothing.

[Ozarkorganicshiitake]

"fackin hell" LOL

[BrassyHooker]

Tug on wrong side

[jimbos4]

It's not there to pull it out

[nevs3151]

The tug was useless as it's propeller wash on the vessel's hull counteracted it's pulling. It should have been pushing on the port side. It's a mistake I've seen many times in many ports all over the world.

[heretoimpress1]

what an idiot he cant even dock a ferry HOW DID HE GET HIS LICENCE

[HolyKnight171]

now who put that wall there!!!

[antrats73]

Nearly as good as me on the broads on my le yacht but he needs the big rubber bumper strips like I had on mine haha

[sturroma]

...and back to drydock

[aUsTiNe609]

the fenders are too small, and you should have made a "V" line on that cat, another problem is the prop wash..

[cptbrentify]

Who was towing Ray Charles if it was my cat id have had power on just incace toss her in rev full r rudder

[SuperElBorba]

Just push her right back in . .

[LostHighwayFilms]

you're good, you're good, you're good....

[jimbos4]

Great yarmouth

[peterDiglin]

@jimbos4

great accent and great use of adjectives lol

[MichiganFann]

where was this?

[yippkia]

better call mako

[raginh8r]

Will Bush get blamed for this too?

[bigrider2806]

nice boat

[NewenglandsJeep]

Well that explains it. He did not have his radar on :-)

[xmetalrocker]

Dam valet parkers. He just blew his tip.

[extremevalid]

In fact this is easily done.. That said you still look like a complete wanker for doing it anyhow.

[oldfart387]

So THAT'S how my boat got a scratch!

[talbotvanman]

surely two tugs should have been in attendance .at the end the prop wash

was acting against the tow! (ex merchant navy)

[shawnstam]

@talbotvanman Ha Ha yes I was thing the same thing is like trying to lift yourself in a bucket while standing in it.

[winter526]

I See what happened, its happend to me! the angle gets just rire and the more power you stick on, the faster the tow goes because of the tide! It shows total control of the skipper that he didnt just brain out and stick all the power down! the tow would have just picked up more speed!!!!

[121wouter121]

Great!

[Colinpark]

I think the tugs problem is the tow is to short, you can see his wash reacting on the hull of the towed vessel, decreasing the pull of t ug and limiting the abilty of the towed vessel to turn with the tug.

[dezzie50]

does the skipper have one eye???

[crockshit]

That craft (unless there's two?) is an ex-ferry, re-commissioned to lay the return feeder from the Thanet off-shore wind farm. It has an arch crane which lowers a suction notching robot which sucks out the mud, and the cable slips in. It sits in Ramsgate harbour (where I live) when weather isn't safe enough to work. It's bridge is out of a James Bond film, but real. er, there you go.

[TheGent704]

so what does that 8 mill boat doesnt have a motor?

[chrisbristol]

....and the back it right back into dock for more repairs!

[piedem76]

people who don't know how to do their work

[goodchappy]

Looks like the pilot of the "yacht" was too eager with the forward throttle.

Having steered many boats myself, surely if there was a tide, the pilot should have waited till the "yacht" was facing into the direction of the tide with the help of the tug, but for some reason, he went forward vvery fast. I wonder how much damage was done.

[MrWalshy54]

drink driving

[cats400]

i could do better than that

[counterclockwise123]

i know nothing about boating but looks to me like nico went full throttle into the wall

[highvelocity123]

I like to watch this video, it reminds me that people this are out there...lol If there was a line connected to the stern that was an even bigger mistake than all the many others...lol

[trampolini1]

I may not be an expert but appears to be attributable to incompetence. Tow line inadequate, secured on port as oppose to starboard which would have shortent and thus enhance turning vessel. If this was tidal, wrong launch time. Tug underpowered. Vessel under tow crew not prepared, an anchor should have been deployed once stern clear. Good the film was made.

[littlenige]

Shame 'cos it looks like a nice cat! Why was the tow line attached on the port side? (I like your commentary!)

[dietrichian]

I see multiple errors here but firstly why can't this tug boat if that's what it really is generate more power?

[luckycharms1978]

@dietrichian If you look its a tight space, more power = more speed and the tug would crash. Watch the yacht, you actually hear it power up before it speeds up, thats why it lost control and went into the wall.

[ondaquadra]

why they work in silent? In a situation like that, all should be shouting at each other about the information and communications maneuver. or not?

[karateshito2000]

But ship Nico has propulsion? It's very strange that with tug line in this condition the nico ship go haed...strange. But there's another mistace, i think that the tug line is too much short

[gorddrog]

@jimbos4

So you must be the ignorant $hit head that can be heard laughing at this persons misfortune, no wonder your only holding a camera.

[xXFRISJEXx]

wow . That guy have never played ship simulator ^^ !

[warairarepano2003]

whith a short rope line, the tug water flow, put the other boat to the wall...... and the Noco´s skip have not engines?

[TheFoosha]

was there any damage to the hull?

[TheFoosha]

was there any damage to the hull when it impacted

[kidthing1119]

that captain of the larger vessel being towed was going 5 knots or so, should of been going 1 because the tug was underpowered for the job, should of barely had it idling at that point

[DevinL16]

listen to the ol' tug. sounds to be at full throttle...someone took the smaller tug for this job and payed for it

[zosoducati78]

Might as well put that thing straight back in drydock!

[stene12345]

someone have craped in the water?

[TheSIGHANSEN]

wires didnt part you pull the rails off her!! does the throttle only have one postion?????

[RichardEllisxyz]

Agreed with most assessments of faults...Launch the damn thing in between tidal shifts so there is NO current to deal with!

[MrDanieldb]

Looks just like the three stooges..........or Laurel and Hardy..........

[kc03300]

and now you are unemployed

[ninjatrooper]

my mom said i could...

[mrmulligan1268]

did she have her own power? if so why the fuck didnt she get herself out.

[frantix22]

omg....drive back u foooool

[bigrider2806]

thats one hell of a boat. ..... green with envy !

[Gatrenzwerg]

fucking bonzes idiots

[MrWtfisgoingon]

You can see the stern cable parting thus creating a good bit of forward motion and no room to spare. A towing bridle would have been nice on the bow and that would have saved the rails. Bad plan plus equipment failure equals trouble.

[joeandbubbas]

jimbo you and the driver of the tug are idiots ...you both should go back to working fast food

[slupremand]

@jimbos4 When and were did you record this? just curious because i work for the company that own Nico.

[slupremand]

Nice! the first thing i see on the Internet with one of the company vessels, it crashes!!!

[rosal2006]

ever hear of center pull for those who built the yaught ? now that's a better idea but just a little to late ...

[jaimesilva126]

With that corrent no one do that this way.

Just ask Portuguese pilots

[texaswader]

Ugh...what was the damage?

[MimmoMessina]

ma ke minkia fanno???

[williamhallalizee]

The only thing missing is the chuckle brothers going 'oh dear, oh dear oh dear'. Morons the lot of them.

[dathribab]

@williamhallalizee where the fuck are you from?

[williamhallalizee]

@dathribab What the fucks it to you ?

[seeingstones]

@jimbos4 fuckin hell

[StepIntoMe]

Love these videos. Boat owners are pricks.

[thebo101]

oh they shouldve had a stern tug, and he shouldnt have made that turn too early because he had the tow 90 degree to his prop wash, thats why it couldnt come around then as he trys to come ahead on the engines it pushes the tow into the wall....they sound kiwi oh no!!

[pathfinder176]

its ok i know just how dificult that thing is  to work with i have had the pleasure

[boatuser41]

fast forward to one minute forty five second mark

[Nerd3927]

Yes, a bridle would have been good, but at 0:58 the Nico say's "Nothing astern" and there is a lose rope hanging that should not have been lose before the turn was made. After that there is no way to turn the cat.

[iainbrookes]

The tug boat should have used a bridle on the front of the cat to centralize the tow. Muppets!

[Sodiumreactor]

wow what a joke! what the hell is going on here? either that tug aint nearly big enough, or the tug capt. is screwing up, or the other boats captain is an idiot. either way, it looks like amaetuer hour out there!

[KingOfTheClutch]

Back to the dry dock she goes lol.

[longhaul91]

thats a yaht

[pathfinder176]

@longhaul91 Nico is a cable laying vessel owned by ct offshore working out of harwich on the gunfleet sands project :)

[cambutchart]

I just wanted to point out to the idiot that is posting that you can not spin a cat with out engines.

You are wrong, A engine on a vessel acts as a leverage point to turn. A tug and tow rope is alot greater leverage point then any engine. no matter what shape or size you are towing.

[tjenk71]

@ Cambutch..you the idiot

[Copperswilly]

Whats going on here is action reaction...The tug is pulling while its thrust is pushing at the same time the cat hull is trying to run a straight line...was meant to fail

[dunghoe2007]

HAHAHAHA what a dumbass

[helginaldo]

tug captains fault. when he pulls ahaed at 1:30 nico picks up speed. every captain should know that you cannot turn a cat on the spot without its own engines supporting this accident can easily be replayed in your bath tub. tug captain was not an experinced man. his foult only, no matter if theres ropes astern or not.

[wonkerjk]

dude ur right in all the wayz possable

[666Hansen]

Towing line is to short, the thrust from the towing vessel fucks the job up. When the towing vessel gets i front it works, when it gets to the side, it forces the bow away.

[gunnz23]

ever tow a cat before, I guess not otherwise you would have known.

[bugsier5]

indeed! a real stuborn tow!

[mcgaugh57]

Looks like his first time driving a boat.

[leomanism]

LUDES...man LUDES!

[bugsier5]

what did they expect whitout a aft tug??

no breaking power this way!

[Foreximo]

just my word....this is stupidity...

[Iclo22]

Agreed with you; it's not the front tug fault.

With a aft tug, it could brake the ship and help it to turn

[alfathomas30]

Those tugs are so weak...would have been better if the cat used its own power.

[sussertheoriginal]

Was this at Southtown ? (Richards)

[dadsinoz]

i think he needed a bigger tug boat!

[Predator2010GR]

shit

[Borisslavosk]

Coming out and returning to the dry dock ? x)

[jamilc32]

where is the second tug on the stern? river+ obstacles+ current?

[ZangLangVang]

@jamilc32 At least they should have kept a stern line to the dock pier, until the tug managed to spin the vessel...

[hookmrl]

ouch

[rhinojive]

god damn...someone needs to learn how to tow

[Zeamus634]

Shame you can't have bow and stern thrusters for cats.

[panhardrod]

Reminds me of trying to tack a hobie 16,cats just don't wan't to turn.

[schinkenmantheo]

LOL

[cobelix]

WTF????
