@Bhum Brahmavira Thats not what redundancy is. The pins are all part of a single system with the sole purpose of locking the anchor chain in place. If there was another system that did the same thing, it would be a redundant system. For example, a 747 jet will have 4 redundant hydraulic systems to control the ailerons, meaning 4 totally separate systems that all enable the same thing. If one of the systems has a 4 step fail-safe for its hydraulic pressure limiter it wouldn't be redundant. But if it had 4 separate fail-safes for the same hydraulic limiter which all counteracted the same issue it would be a 4 level redundant system.
Very informative video! I love having the names of the pieces overlaid on the video, it makes it really easy to keep track of all these new terms. I have a request: Can you make a video talking about the journey of a container ship from one port to another? Some things that would be interesting: How does a container ship know where to go next? What percentage of containers on the ship are going to the next port? Do they need to do customs things? How does the ship not run into other ships in port? Do they use autopilot at all? Do they make any stops on the way to their next port? When do they refuel and restock? How do they avoid storms and bad currents? When they get to the destination, do they need to contact the port like an airplane would contact the air traffic controller? When are pilot ships necessary? Do they need to dock at a specific terminal? Is there ever a line? What are the best and worst situations that a ship has to deal with, for any part of the journey?
Good job. For some reason, I never thought the chain would just be allowed to pile up. I guess somewhere in my brain I saw it winding onto a drum like a cable.
It is very impressive when a person can keep someone so engaged with something they care little about. You make a very good teacher. I hope you have success with your RUclips career, you deserve it.
I just found your channel and find this content fascinating. I just messaged my cousin about the concept of "centenary", the weighted hanging of a ship anchor chain. He's a graduate of the US Merchant Marine Academy and I think he will appreciate your video.
I serve in the Australian Navy, have done for going on 8 years now and I swear to god that video was a more informative seamanship tutorial than I've ever seen produced by the military haha. relaxing education, you could be onto a winner there mate $$$. keep at it.
your editing style has changed.. and you look a bit too happy.. and I'm lovin' it!! and there was a huge period of absence so it's good to see you back..
Nice job explaining anchoring to the non-seaman types. We take simple things like anchoring for granite, whereas, the average person hasn't a clue. Tight lines always!
Whoa game changer when it is a megaship like these. We travel the world on our sailboat and in a couple weeks are posting our video about the time that we had to ABANDON the boat anchor! Sailing has been a huge learning curve so far as we start our journey around the world and videos like this are a great help!
Glad I found your channel. Well done. Also, anchor systems on large ships seem designed to do two things: anchor ships and occasionally maim or kill sailors.
I've driven semi trucks and flown helicopters, that doesn't scare me one bit but I would not be caught anywhere near that chain while it's dropping. Holy crap.
Right? Why don't they put that brake wheel in a less dangerous location? To the side perhaps? The guy is two feet away as the chain spins out of control.
I've done a lot of translations of anchor chain arrangements for offshore oil platforms and supply ships. It's unreal how complicated it can get, plus with the added "fun" of having to worry about hitting or damaging subsea pipelines. What's also incredible is how it all remains about the same in the fundamentals for hundreds of years.
Surprised no one commented about Being at anchor. Good vid by the way. Dragging anchor is the worst nightmare particularly if there are other boats/ships near. Usually because of changes in weather. Particularly with civilians who don't anchor often. That's why I always listen in the night for the flapping of the burgee on the mast. If it is flapping at a fair clip (strong breeze) I ALWAYS get up in the night two or three times to watch the surrounding boats. I've caught 3 boats in the night dragging anchor including a 70' headed towards other boats at anchor. Fortunately I was able to roust them with the 5 horn blasts and they came on deck Literally 40 ft from shore. Props first!
The quality of these videos is just insane! I love drone's footage. Are you using a DJI? Also I wonder how do you film the ship with the drone while it moves, isn't it faster then the drone?
+TechUser yup! i've broken a drone before haha. Its tricky but now ive gotten more experience, it depend largely on the wind. Ideally it should be coming from behind to assist the drone. Also never fly GPS mode, only atti mode because metal 🤷♂️ i flew a dji phantom 3 and mavic pro
In my opinion, they are very good explanations about the anchoring system and the elements used in it. On the other hand shots of the camera are as good as being on the ship during the operation. in general very good video.
wow in my hole life i have been dreaming about to jobb on the brigde on a cruise ship.You are really insperotinal for what i can do later in my life thx
Hey! I am a deck cadet with MSC so I would like to know what is tha job of a deck cadet and what all to take on board the ship for the first time. thanks.
Shivam Kapoor depends what type of ship and what area of operation . cold or hot? if its a passenger ship you should have a dress uniform. if strictly cargo some captains want you to wear khaki just like the officers. bring a hat for fire and abandon ship drills. a knife is good to have, and a good watch. the cadet will often follow the chief mate and learn a lot about the ship, or the captain may have you stand watch with one of the mates on the bridge. I was lucky the 2nd mate let me do most of the navigation and radar work as he kept an eye on me. when docking and undocking you may help on the bridge. most important is be curious. when off duty, walk around ask questions, show that you want to learn. the sailors will respect that and help you. know when to keep your mouth shut. have fun and good sailing.

The head of the anchor is not actually stuck in the sea. Its the length of the chain as a whole that "gets stuck". If the ship pulls horizontally against the chain, the ship goes nowhere. If they haul the chain up vertically little by little, no problem, chain comes up.
I found this particularly interesting because having come from a career on VLCCs as a rule of thumb we never ever have dropped anchor we always walk out especially in deep water such as that in Fujairah. Love this channel though!

Hey Jeff. Great video. Just one feed back I'd like to give is that alot of maritime technical terms are used in this vid. It's easy for mariners to understand them but for the viewers who are not from our industry, they might be abit lost. Just food for thought for your channel to grow :) also, may I know what drone are you using?? Thanks! :)
Hello, i used dji phantom 3 on ships. Mavic pro doesn't do so good on ships I will do my best to scale back the technical terms :) Thanks for the input!
Agree with Ted! I inferred a few of them (like "walk the ship back" = just let the ship float back against the anchor) but yeah, more explanations! Don't stop using the technical stuff
Ted and Ryan hit the mark, don't scale back on the tech! Perhaps you could even do just a video of the most common terms used in day-to-day evolutions; I would enjoy watching that (as well as the port to port vid suggested elsewhere). I was a captain of a ship and had a problem with a rusty spurling pipe that liked to grab links and freeze them in place. I never knew it was called a spurling pipe, so thanks; I had simply been calling it (knowing it was incorrect but, never found the correct term) the inboard hawese pipe. We also joked about it being our castle pipe because it was too long and had a tendency to 'castle' or stack the chain poorly.

I love your videos, I had no interest about navegation before but now I can not stop watching your videos and learning about it. Thanks so much for your work 😊
I really love your videos! I just remember on my last ship where I had to lower the anchor with the windlass's motor (as a cadet task). It was so long, I kept changing arms every five minutes because of the pain of keeping the old, corroded lever in place.
Hey Sir. I was waiting for your videos again !!!. Thank you. Excellent info, theoretical and practical. I hope that the course of third officer, have been well. They have changed the route and we can have a video every week. Too interested, right? I wish you excellent journeys !!!. All the best,
Hi Mr JeffHK. im fisherman from Malaysia, my fishing ground at Malacca Strait (Red line zone, and anchor vessel) i found this video very useful and indeed sometime i had problem those vessel cause anchoring without a sirens. and i with small bot need to switch on my sirens lamp just to make the vessel know my location. with a bit of your information i might learn how far certain vessel anchoring. thank you for your information Mr JeffHK.

Wonder what circumstance lead them to realizing that final pin is necessary? Figure this out and youll be a hero in my book
Yo dawg, I see you like pins, so I added a pin on to the pin for the pin, so you an pin the pin while you pin the anchor.
Wait, I was expecting a needle on the third pin. Current design isn't safe.
As a Master Mariner it is very nice to see a mate with such dedication, just keep doing it.
Thanks Captain!
After seeing so many videos of anchor drop fails, it was great to see how it is supposed to be done and what's actually going on. Thanks!

This was just great! Easy to understand. I was looking for the history of a WWII anchor, and learned so much more!!
While i was Chief Mate always did the same thing:) Only problem is to count the shackles when it "let go" :P
ah ya sometimes its easy to miss since it goes so fast! The gauge makes it much easier
Way to shame the Yamato......

I did not expect to learn something about anchors today, but I did! Great video and awesome editting. It made this very enjoyable to watch.
how do you pull it up? isnt it stuck into the bottom of the sea?
The head of the anchor is not actually stuck in the sea. Its the length of the chain as a whole that "gets stuck". If the ship pulls horizontally against the chain, the ship goes nowhere. If they haul the chain up vertically little by little, no problem, chain comes up.
Ok, thanks now at least i know ;P
Great explanation!! thank you sir
thesmallterror it depends on the type of a anchor if it digs or not a Danford anchored will dig real deep in rough weather
I heard if the anchor chain broke loose in the middle of the sea
The windlass won't have enough power to heave up all the 13 shackles of chain
I found this particularly interesting because having come from a career on VLCCs as a rule of thumb we never ever have dropped anchor we always walk out especially in deep water such as that in Fujairah. Love this channel though!

I never knew it was called a spurling pipe, so thanks; I had simply been calling it (knowing it was incorrect but, never found the correct term) the inboard hawese pipe. We also joked about it being our castle pipe because it was too long and had a tendency to 'castle' or stack the chain poorly.

Killed it with the editing man, I'm no seaman but i love to learn interesting things and this was well done. Learned so much!
I always wanted to know how long is the chain :D
krokodil196 usually abt 11-12 shackle (1shackle being 27.4 m )
