I worked on M/Y Utopia IV and we crashed into a gasoline tanker at 20knots. The tanker sank. Several of our crew were injured. The ship owner has refused to pay our wages and refused to pay for medical care so we filed 7 federal lawsuits.
@@cadetpiyushpandey5752 7 of our crew members have filed federal lawsuits for unpaid wages. Utopia refused to pay our wages since the crash and are currently still refusing to pay both medical care and refusing to pay our wages. These are very nasty people and it’s going to be a contentious trial.
@@douglasbanks3318 thank you. I am the ETO so I don’t drive the boat (I fix the electrics). They are responsible but it takes years to get to trial in America because of how slow the court system is. Our trial is supposed to be in August. Utopia is still refusing to pay our wages and they want to change US case law so that a shipowner would not have to be responsible for their crews wages and injuries.
@@cadetpiyushpandey5752 No, Utopia denies all liability including the liability of paying our wages. We will go to trial. Case # 22-23847-Civ if search on pacer.
@@douglasbanks3318 our crash was Christmas Eve 2021. The Captain of the 63m/207ft superyachts I was working on (for a week) abandoned his watchkeeping duties while doing 20knots north of Nassau and 14 minutes later we crashed into and subsequently sank a gasoline tanker. A journalist on RUclips called Esysman Superyacht News broke the story and has covered it numerous times. The owner of our yacht Loren Ridinger refused to pay our wages and denies all liability. 🙄
The Costa didn’t have 4,300 cars onboard. That’s some 7,000 to 10,000 tons of extra dead weight right there, apart from the weight of the ship itself, which has to be built much sturdier than a passenger cruising ship to be able to accommodate all those vehicles in the first place.
A classmate of mine from Columbus, Ohio, developed some of the earliest remote deep water robotic salvage equipment. In the early 1980s to late 1980s. Just a smart guy, whose talent was recognized and he was sent to engineering schools, paid for by the companies that would eventually employ him. He invented and patented some complex underwater robotics. That have since been eclipsed by the latest technology. In high school in the 1970s, he built an autonomous, robot that could mow his parent's lawn.
Yup, oil companies keep all the profit, while the citizens pay for their cleanup operations.... Typical corporate greed... while we fall for it like fools...
Don't use an American salvage company !!!!! thats what you don't do !! And it was not the biggest salvage in history in fact there was no need to cut this up and took way to long even the Costa Concordia didn't take this long !!!!
Now engineers are failing at ship design. Look at a cruise ship. It's taller than it is wide. = not at all naturally stabil ! Designers/Engineers need to go back to school!

Have you got compensation now ?

This ship was neither capsized or in the middle of the ocean.
I'm sure nobody wants to experience a tragedy like this but it's good to know people can help if it does. Quite an expensive response I'm sure.
Thanks for these informations.

I don't know about Boats but I know that Confucius said "Woman who FLY upside-down, have Crack-up" ! teehee
13:07 thats the most impressive thing ive ever seen.
Yes, complicated structure!!
It’s a good thing MV Golden Ray wasn’t upside down in the middle of the ocean!
It's much easier to clean and paint the bottom when it's like that.
In the days of sail it was called careening.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅

Wasn't the Costa Concordia a substantially bigger ship? (This is still very impressive, but is it the "largest salvage" operation?)
The Costa didn’t have 4,300 cars onboard. That’s some 7,000 to 10,000 tons of extra dead weight right there, apart from the weight of the ship itself, which has to be built much sturdier than a passenger cruising ship to be able to accommodate all those vehicles in the first place.
All the facts in the internet seems to point to the fact that it was Costa Concordia that was the biggest salvage to date
True; Costa Concordia by far the biggest and most impressive re-float of a maritime casualty
Super informative and , as always, way cool!
If I remember correctly, Pioneering Spirit has enough lifting power to pick up the Titanic (if it wasn’t in two pieces and still floating)
Good video.
The ships are very beautiful.
Man that’s a big boat!
A boat is small. A ship is big.
Impressive
It's a good chance to clean the hull.

That was you of course paid by your friend to play the part of a robot.
@@galewinds7696 Ha! No,..not really
Not so bad, only an $875M mistake. 😃👍
My favorite piece is where they call it SMIT salvage instead of smit
Smit are the best!
45 years ago I saw a movie The Poisoidon Adventure. It was about a cruise ship turn upside down during a sunami.
What was used to cut a ship into 8 pieces, was it a plasma cutter or some large saw?
Cordless Milwaukee recip saw
What returns to the starting point? // ¿Que regresa al punto de partida?
Poseidón 🍊?
Bit like posiedon. Did it overturn or sink.
That ship had ZERO containers! Plus that underwater footage? Way Deeper!!! But OK.....
How does a fire capsized such a big ship?
EVs on board I wonder 🤔
Yes that's what I understand
It's not S.M.I.T., it's Smit.
ships probably do most of the work for humanint
I hate to tell you lady but the largest ship that was removed as a wreck was the Costa Concordia
Why not mention it was EV vehicle that caught on fire and prevented them from extinguishing the flames?
Costa Concordia was a bigger salvage operation
Geezzz do you know much anti -fouling bottom paint must cost..
Szuper
The air falls out !
Tankers and cargo ships are why I have megalophobia. 😖
😂
How was the golden ray the biggest ship salvage when costa Concordia was 953’ and a successful salvage
Yup, oil companies keep all the profit, while the citizens pay for their cleanup operations.... Typical corporate greed... while we fall for it like fools...
"I'm stuck step bro"
Blahahaha
Where it's Broee.....???....
Cars, cars, cars. There goes your environmental mess up kids.
Het zijn ongelukken, waar niemand op zit te wachten.
Wat er nog meer over zeggen?
Hoop dat het niet meer gebeurd.!
Για ποιο λόγο, η ομιλία είναι από υπολογιστή ?
Whats this SMiT its smit dutch salvage used to be smit loyd
sup
Vụ lật tàu golden ray
Im an sailor in this ship
Big deal the lady said ship not boat. She probley has never been on a ship or boat,so how is to know. Give her a break🤷♀️
comentator had one basic issue you xcan put a boat on a ship but you cannot put a ship on a boat...two cents..
Worried about chemicals and gasoline while the skies above are covered with poisonous chemtrails. LOL Twilight Zone.
What type of poisonous chemical are in the atmosphere?
All while they ignore the chem trails coming from their cars' exhaust manifold. 😂

Stability is a great lacking problem on these ships. Why ? Most naval inginers knows but wont talk about this problems. Money roles😮
They sink.
👁👂♀
I tell you what really happened...NOTHING
Is is a ship not a boat I am giving you a thumbs down because you not know the difference.
Now engineers are failing at ship design. Look at a cruise ship. It's taller than it is wide. = not at all naturally stabil ! Designers/Engineers need to go back to school!
It's 'Cape Town,South Africa'. One place, not two. Do yanks do geography?
No.
