@kapiteinbier Dude...REALLY????? If your insulted by my lack of knowledge about how those things are engineered then you have a major issues!! I NEVER said anything insulting, I NEVER made any rude remarks...I was expressing a concern over the hum,an populus that in habits that place. I'd hate to see any type of tragedy happen to thousands of people because of unforseen forces of nature. I happen to think that dredging system is interesting to watch. You kind of insulted me with your reply.
@cnote4461 And what do you think a 'normal' continent would be made of? Obviously the edges of the palm island is protected whith wave breakers made of rock. Your comment is nearly an insult of Dutch engineering!! ;-) We are the best dredgers and land reclaimers in the world. We 've spent the last 500 years fighting water and creating polders. Only once we had a major flooding (1953).
Dubai is a place I'd like to visit - but something tells me that in time, that whole man-made city will be washed underwater by some freak Tsunami. It creeps me just a little to see something that huge sitting in the middle of the water, knowing it's all made of sand and dirt.
just wanted to know do you work with Van oord and if yes what is the job of a skipper onboard this dredger. Is it worth coming onboard as an Skipper. Will be very helpful if you do reply
