I now know more about discharging sewage from a super yacht when in a dry dock that I ever wanted (or needed) to know. I blame coronavirus for that.
😂😂😂👍
Honestly looking forward to the video on sewage treatment (and possibly at-sea discharge of treated blackwater)!
I would have expected this to go straight into a large holding tank at the shipyard, or into the local sewage system. Having to deal with the intermediate holding tank seems like a huge hassle.
When it started flowing into the tank my dog farted lmfao 🤣 I didn’t realize it at first and I was like what the f how the hell am I smelling that.
Also on my camper I added an adapter with an on and off valve so after I close the valve on the black water tank I can shoot freshwater down the hose to wash it out keeps from having anything dried up in the hose also helps clean the hose a little bit before you disconnect it
Suuuuure! Blame it on the dog. It works every time. Lol! :D
@MrAbletospeak Only when the proper valves are open and there’s never any pressure on the black water side
So when your face wasn't masked, I was beginning to think the rich don't stink! HOWEVER, it is a pure case of FORTITUDE on your part! :D You are adorable
And yet another lesson in the overall landscape of managing a super charter yacht. It's not all pretty, it's not all sunsets and fine dining. Great video to show us the stark realities of tending to humans. I've worked various positions on several dairy farms, and black water is the universal balancer. I learned a lot that I have not ever seen on anyone else's videos - Well done, Tristan
Hi Tristan, I watched an interview you did and I guess I am proud to say I'm part of the 4% of your audience, with 96% men, lol. I find your video's fascinating, especially when you are docking, wow, lol. Please don't frown on me when I say on this video, you're killing me with your gloves touching the controls, after continually touching the poop hose, I'd be changing my gloves after each contamination, to keep my controls clean:) idk if that's just a woman thing or not, but that's what I will be doing:) Btw, love you name, my son's name is Triston:) Thank you for your videos! Take care of you, Kathy
Thanks, Tristan, for showing us the glamorous and not so glamorous parts of being a SYC!
I can relate. I live in a 35-foot (10.6 meter) trailer, and I dump the black water weekly. I have separate black and grey tanks, so I dump the grey water last to flush out the hose.
So you’re living the life of a super yacht owner?
😂
@@fisherh9111 Not quite. This trailer is 22 years old, and showing it's age. I'm looking at a 45-foot Marathon motorhome, though. Marathon coaches are definetely the wheeled equivalent of a luxury super yacht.
Okay, I first thought "what a crap subject"
But it's actually pretty interesting and also something that most people wouldn't think of.
So, good video.... As usual. 👍
It's gotta go somewhere doesn't it?... But I am really impressed that you don't shirk any duties no matter how distasteful. Obviously, your journey to captain involved the process of starting at the bottom (where the dirty jobs are definately part of it) and working your way up, but your current position doesn't seem to make you above some of the dirty work... and it definately DOES happen for many. As an ex-Chef, I ALWAYS used to get involved in the big cleaning processes, the monthly big jobs or even bigger. Don't expect others to do what you're not prepared to do yourself! It is an excellent leadership skill and ethos to have Tristan so kudos to you
Much respect for the Captain .
This reminds of the days when we had a caravan, I had to treat the toilet canister with similar liquid.......I believe emptying it was a ‘dad thing’ cus it was always dads that met up at the site sewage drain hole! Unfortunately, my caravan didn’t float like yours 😬
Good to see it is not all glitz and glory for a Capt. Great video and keep up the great work.
What a treat to have a RUclips post, from the Super Yacht Captain on Feb 10, 2021. What a pleasant surprise to hear from you, today. Steve Miller - Los Angeles, CA
Am I missing something here? 🧐
I would think from a sanitary perspective that there would be a port on the top of the tank to connect the discharge to, with a shut off at the end of the hose. This way the exterior of the hose will never come into contact with waste water. Currently the hose is tied to a scaffold that any person unknowingly can come into contact with sewage.
Thank you for the video like the engineering stuff.
Brilliant. I really enjoyed it. More technical videos please.
Most interesting! thanks Tristan!
Thanks for being the real Deal my man keep it up.
Not a job I would like to do, where I live we have a waste treatment plant between 8 properties, when it gets emptied I go shopping!!!
It seems a crude method of discharging into the holding tank, a similar hose connection that you connect onto your pump, on the holding tank would be a better method and you don't have to smell the waste.
you've become much more natural than you used to be when in front of the camera and it makes your videos even better
Tristan would like to say I've enjoyed your channel. If you put a valve on the other end of the hose you would never have to start your pump again if you don't have to undo the The line before you have to Fill in another container. Keep up the good work
Just a note , you put on gloves to handle the pipe that pumps into the “shore tank” Can clearly see the gloves have dirt or whatever else on. When you go back onto your ship you keep those dirty gloves on turn the handle while still wearing the gloves where you handled a dirty pipe. Same gloves still on you turn the the switch for pump to stop. Germs distributed everywhere. Gloves never move from one area to another , that is how germ transmission occurs . Hepatitis is a very hardy germ.
Ps: Enjoy your videos
See if the shipyard could lay the tank skid where your on-board CCT could view it, so you could see when it was almost full, saving you all that climbing. (Also, maybe a cloth cover over the opening while filling, to keep some of the 'stinky' air inside?)
First class vlog as usual Tristan thank you. 👍
Slam foulies donned in order to pump the sewage! That's being prepared for the worst possible scenario. hahaha
Thank you Tristen
It’s true poop 💩 does run down hill😂 Great video again!
😂😂😂
I really like these tech type videos. I compare it to living ON a house. A house that moves across the water. Very cool Tristan. Missing the "Rocket" though.
nup - sewerage has a density very close to water - you can assume they are the same. If you remove the solids from the sewerage water, the solids are generally less dense as they contain air when density is measured.
if the solids are less dense they would float which is not my experience from inspecting the toilet bowl
@@360Mike the dry solids which also contain air when density measured
I suggest you use a hydrometer. Let me know the results 😉
Tristan, hope you remembered to spray disinfectant on the CONTROL PANEL where the "Discharge pump" dial is... 😁
Love to hear from your engineer about the sewage treatment
OMG a bit more information than I needed to know! LOL. er thanks
Job well done! I’ll be waiting for the water softener video and the black water treatment station!
Actually are the the 2 tings I’ve got on hold on the new 116 I’m working on
Are you asking me??? 😂 how would I know?
@@SuperYachtCaptain you promised the video together with your engineer!
Knowing the principle, you can unravel any similar system.
I wish I had your talent for videos, I could do some nice ones has well, I like teaching the little I think I know. Good job
May I say, I'm extremely pleased that we did not get to experience the odder...! Very informative...
You always post an informative video. Also, great seeing your comment on Burlacher's automotive channel.
Sure thing, I enjoy Stradman & Burlachers content. 👍
@@SuperYachtCaptain They're both terrific guys and I love their positivity and enthuasism -- much like you on your channel.
Tristan I am so glad that RUclips has not invented smell-o-vision within their RUclipss informative as always have a great day Tristram LOL
😂😂😂💩
Tristan, you are such a cool guy. You run around and do everything on your dinghy. I am a knowledge addict. I want to know how absolutely everything works. I have done and do everything on my dinghy too.
Cheers
And you’re also into Bitcoin?
@@SuperYachtCaptain You bet I am. I am a veteran. I have been in it since 2010 when. Are you too?
OMG don't touch everything with those dirty gloves! 😱
Best not tell “the bullet” that you have contaminated his valves and switches with your gloves 🧤🤭🤢
😱😨 don’t tell Slav!!!!!
😉😉, didn’t show on the video but post discharge we use a spray disinfectant on all the area. 👍
@@SuperYachtCaptain . Phew! That moment really worried me.
It's amazing how many uses there are for those waste water caged plastic containers have. So far, other than here, I've also seen them used at dairy farms for holding liquid sanitizing chemicals that are used for foot-washing on dairy cows, and as holding tanks for used oil in auto repair shops. :)
aka IBC or IBC tote (US) for Intermediate Bulk Container, 1000 litre or 1200 litre (former by far the most common in the UK, being based on a europallet). Thing I find really annoying is that in their "second life" they are rarely labelled well (if at all).
At the end when you turn of the valve, does the remaining fluid drain out of the hose? I guess there is enough air to prevent a water lock happening?
Don't you just love the glamour of the job :)
We also use gamazyme. One of the only things that dont kill the tank bacterias
Well, it needs to get done ✔
Ah the glamorous job of SYC to aspire to! I can just see the engineer pulling a Tom Sawyer, telling you how fun it would be to show you on the Vlog pulling this duty. "The fans will love it!" (We did).
One question, How did you clear that line afterwards? Especially the standing pipe above the discharge valve. Looks like a messy disconnection job. Did you just leave it in place until the final dump (no pun intended) of the refit? I would think that after initial cleanout, the workers would be required to use shore facilities.
Hope you have a safe and successful post corona (corona recovery?) era season.
The glamorous side of super yachting 💩🤮😂
A very interesting video Tristan, thanks as always 👍🏻
Are there any discharge zones when cruising? For example, in the Puget Sound /Salish sea area the United States area is no discharge-but if you cross into Canadian waters you can dump. All bays and mooring areas are pretty much no discharge as is Desolation Sound.
I suggest you refer to MARPOL Annex IV 👍
What I want to know is do you ever discharge sewage while out at sea?
It seems that dumping grey and black water while out at sea would be easier.
The discharged waste looked pretty "liquidy", does the Gamazime break down the more solid waste that effectively and that quickly or is there mechanical maceration that assists?
Not really, the maceration is done with the toilets impeller and remember it gets diluted with the grey water.
You didn’t clean the discharge handle after you handled it with the poop gloves?
😁😁😁😁Brave Captain!!!!!!
Many of us had less than glamorous functions to do in otherwise professional careers
Get’s home, sees SYC video come up, Yaaaaaaay
Hope the video wasn’t too sh!tty. 😉
Just a couple of things. If you had a grey water tank @ 3000Lts would you discharge it at sea and surely that would give better economy. Next, how far can you travel without being forced to discharge both Grey and black water and I assume there is a cash charge for any kind of water in wet or dry dock.
Why yes Captain! I’ve always been curious about how to get sh$& off a ship...thank you for sharing I think? Haaaa! Love it
For yachts that do have grey water, do they use that to clean the deck? If not what is it used for?
Can you discharge any grey water over board?...I believe in my area (USA) you can..
Points off for the leaky garden hose supplying your boat. Very informative - Do you have a requirement to " log" your sewage discharges.
Actually not a garden hose. It’s a special grade yachting hose.
www.kent-marine.com/en/1114/tricoflex-yachting.html
How long do you reckon it takes to have the black water tank full while at sea, with full capacity of crew and guests ?
I'm not sure why I watched this particular video while having dinner, however it was interesting.
Tristin I would have thought the weight of the sewage would be directly proportional to the food consumed.
Fortunately, the videos are not fragrant. Maybe in the near future it will be possible. So thank you, Tristan, for making this video now. 🤧🤧🤧😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍
😂😂😂💩💩💩
what happened to the hose? how did you clean it and where do you store it?
My best guess is that the pipe belongs to the drydock facility!
Do y’all use ur fresh water tanks for ballast or do y’all have separate tanks for ballast.
No ballast tanks on AWOL.
At 2:30 you illustrated your reference to the dishwasher with video of Giv! So unfair!
PS you don't "turn valves / cocks on and off" you open or close them.
This is why you get the big bucks!!!!!!
😂 💩
Do you ever go far enough out from shore where you can dump your tank overboard? If so do you dump with a charter on board? Thank you and be safe.
I thought that is what they did
You have to be 25 miles from shore to dump waste water at sea, and in some seas, such as the Baltic and I believe parts of the Med even this is illegal.
The specific gravity of a floating turd may be 0.71, but the bulk of the liquid would be much nearer to 1.0. Okay, that is bit crude, but the Google number for sewage sludge is not representative of the black and grey mix in the tank. I think you will agree that it is much more watery than sludgy.
As long as the answer isn't "into the beef stew" I'm okay with whatever answer comes up.
@superyachtcaptain Say if you used all of your water from your port side water tank, can you transfer water from the starboard side tank to the port side tank to evenly weigh out the vessel so she's not unevenly balanced? Thanks
The 2 tanks are connect by a pipe along the bottom therefor maintain an equal balance. We are able to shut the connection off, if we need to.
@@SuperYachtCaptain Thanks Tristan 😊
What's your source of firefighting water? I remember hearing that cruise ships use their greywater, but since you don't have that, would it just be seawater?
Yes. It’s pumped directly from the sea.
yeah... wash those hands, and maybe the switches and other controls you touched. lol
'Gamazine stops the pipes from blocking.' Hahahahahahahaa. After 35 years at sea as an engineer that's hilarious. And the sewage treatment plant should always be used even if it's to ensure that the air bubblers are working to avoid anaerobic breakdown of sewage which gives off hydrogen sulphide which, is deadly - see the deaths of two children on the Irish Ferries a few years ago.
As for the water testing? The tanks should be tested of course but the vital one is the tap/faucet at the furthest point from the tanks as possible to ensure that the free chlorine level is still above the minimum.
Just wondering if you use absolute one micron filtration and UV treatment? The reason I ask is that it is a cheap efficient way of making sure your water is potable.
Yes we do.
@@SuperYachtCaptain Thanks for the response . I love your channel it is very informative and well presented . My wife and I own a 1983 ,53 Spencer Ketch and we are Captain, engineers ,cooks mechanics,riggers and cleaning staff our our vessel and we always wonder what life on one of the super yachts is all about . Your program gives us a opportunity to see what life on one of those big vessels we are always envious of is like. The maintenance involved in keeping one of those vessels looks extremely daunting I am truly in awe. Happy ,safe sailing ,take care.
My best boon-docking video converting a ship into a camper .
First RUclips video to ever make me gag
I would just make the crew bring and use their own bucket while on dry dock. Saves on unnecessary crew costs.
😂😂 great idea 💡
I lost it when he handled the poo pipe and then went back aboard and touched the controls with the same gloves.
i was about to say the same thing ...so gross!
@@OleScratch1 Great minds....
Is it legal to discharge sewage when out to sea? I assume it would have to be macerated and treated before discharge. Are there certain areas where you are prohibited from discharging, (that are more out to sea, not close to land)?
There are many places where it's illegal, since the sewage may effect the local environment in many bad ways, (pH, suspended solids, BoD effects, and even providing an unnatural food supply that would boost the algae).
I refer you to MARPOL ANNEX IV, you can Google it. Sewage discharge is permitted in certain cases. You can read up on it, if you’re interested.
Is raw sewage dumped at sea when outside a country’s territorial waters?
you do realize you left the same gloves on after handling the pop hose then you went up and touched the panel .now you have bacteria on panel
Tmi right
What is the practical benefit of splitting gray and black water? Obviously there is more gray water but everything still needs to be discharged. is there a lower cost to discharge gray water or is it easier to discharge at sea?
In most places, grey water can just be discharged straight to sea, even in “no discharge” areas like the Puget Sound. Most smaller boats are not set up to hold grey water, it just drains overboard. I don’t know if there’s a different rule for larger vessels like AWOL
Usually, if you’re only using biodegradable cleaning products like we do, the grey can be discharged in coaster areas.
Shipyard should have a closed link to local sewer. Hose needs its own valves at both ends. Those vapors can be lethal. Also some mention of the normal operation of the MSD (marine sanitation device) or sewage treatment system, which treats sewage to a state permissible for discharge at sea, might have been helpful to non-mariners. I like your videos. After retirement as engineer on tugs I sailed on large yachts for a few years. Loved getting the deckies involved in some of the dirty work.
So.... the Poop deck doesn't feature. :)
Yum.. but way cool.
TMI!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Tristan, been away for awhile. Is the raffle still on for the cruise on AWOL?
Hey, I just checked the raffle site. They need to sell 40,000 tickets and have only sold 7274 of them. It looks like it will be awhile before I can take my cruise on AWOL. LOL
Yes, it’s still ongoing. This pandemic has really slowed ticket sales down. But still pushing forward.
What happens to you when the boat is sold. As it is for sale. Just curious.
Boss wants to get a bigger boat, so I’ll stay with him. 😎👍
@@SuperYachtCaptain Sweet!
Poo management is important.
Why doesn't it go straight into the city's sewage system?
Everything was really helpful. The only thing that I found disgusting was you after handling the dirt pipe you didn’t change the cloves and went inside the boat and contaminated everything that you have touched, including the control panel buttons. I believe that you should have disposed the cloves before getting back to the boat.
The “glamorous life” of a super yacht captain!
Interesting!. Not pleasant- but Interesting
Forgot about the part where you disconnect the black water hose from the piping. 😖🤮👍
I suspect they leave the hose connected all the time they are in dry dock. The while-docked clip showed them using sea-water to flush the hose, prior to it being stowed.
Yep, we leave it on.
Man this episode really stunk. :)
Hey - what happened to my Raffal?..
Have you looked on the raffal website??? All the info is there. It was also discussed on the last live stream.
Very glad that your Go Pro did not fall in the tank... Oh 💩💩💩💩...
One of the times I am happy to not have smellavision.
Good god, don't give the TV brands any ideas like that! 😅
nice thumbnail.....Sanlorenzo 500EXP?
I think it’s the 460EXP
