  • @multirichard007
    @multirichard007 9 лет назад +50

    This collision was caused by interaction between the ships, where as one ship passes the other in a channel, a lower pressure between the hulls, caused by their proximity to each other, draws them together. It is only avoidable by keeping a reasonable distance apart of at least 1/2 mile. Rudder action becomes useless and will not overcome the forces of attraction. Many ship collisions have been caused in this way in channels. The way to avoid this is not to try and overtake and keep a reasonable distance apart when passing head on.

      Alright - I normally don't pay any mind to ignorant people like you, but, I figured that I'd try to turn this little discourse into a learning experience for you - do pay attention.
      I don't have a "dad." My father, as in the man whose sperm fertilized an egg of my mother's in order to create me, is a pedophile, drug addict, drug distributor, and convicted felon. When I was a young child, he abused me physically and sexually, as well as stole thousands of dollars from my mother and from trust funds set up in my name by my grandparents. The last time I saw him was by court order on Christmas Day, 1996. Since then, I have not heard from or of him again, with the exception of two occasions - once in 1999 when a woman, who was also victimized by him, made contact with my mother to share her similar story of manipulation and abuse, and once again in 2009, when I received correspondence from the Florida State Prosecutor's Office alerting me that he had been arrested on charges of aggravated stalking and drug possession and was awaiting transfer to a federal prison to serve what may turn out to be a 20+ - year sentence.
      Whoever you are, young, old, of better faculties or not, you should know that you don't know the story of anybody you meet in life, nor of anybody whose alias you see online. Everyone on this Earth is a real person with a story, with dreams, and with things they hold dear, and all those things of theirs are just as true and while as your own. Remember that.

  • @1zanglang
    @1zanglang 9 лет назад +6

    Only Suez Canal Authority, authorizes overtaking in the canal. Also, the transit is made using an convoy system, clearly regulated by the same authority through Rules of Navigation , and all ships must have pilot on board. So, Colombo Express violated several rules which were in force in that area.

    The overtaking ship is obliged to stay clear so, whatever the cause, it's her fault.

  • @plutralias
    @plutralias 9 лет назад +1

    She was faring straight, for a legal takeover. Then suddenly, the bow of the black ship get caught in the suction flow of the larger blue ship. This is not an unfamiliar issue with large ships. The Olympic class was plagued by this problem with several collisions caused by the suction of the props. The Titanic in fact ripped a ship off its moorings in the same way.

      +forgotaboutbre If so, then both ignored/defied Rules of the Road. Overtaken ship (ROW vessel) maintains course and speed till overtaking ship is clear ahead. Overtaking ship (burdened vessel) maintains course and speed till overtaken ship is clear behind. Hapag-Lloyd clearly violated here. Why he turned left before passing clear escapes all logic. It's not like he didn't see him or know he was there. This guy should be fired and tried.
      Just my POV as experienced sailor there.

    • @forgotaboutbre
      @forgotaboutbre 8 лет назад +10

      @jcherubini8683 8 лет назад

      +thelfinion If he turned because he meant to claim the interposition of an obstacle, which would be legal, then a court would contest his decision to commit to a course which would necessitate a course change before he had pulled clear. This is entirely Hapg-Lloyd's fault in this case. Either he's arrogant or just inept, but he's NOT a capable ship captain and ought to be removed.

    • @smitajky
      @smitajky 8 лет назад +1

      +Chris lawton I have answered this elsewhere.
      The first captain was as far right as he dared because there was a shallow patch to the right.
      The second captain overtook on the wrong side. Oblivious to the danger he was creating.
      When he reached the shallow patch the water pressure builds up under his vessel.
      Firstly at the front and more strongly on the shallower side.
      Which pushes the vessel into a turn far more powerfully than any rudder could ever do. The turn was obviously very sharp for a container ship at any speed.
      From that point on it was "all over red rover".
      Incidentally you note that the other captain had put on full power to attempt to clear the collision. He MAY have tried to turn right to mitigate it but this would have led to a grounding of his own ship.
      He could not have stopped in that distance. Even with full power full astern.
      Not a great lot of options for him.

      I don't think it was a rudder problem, it was an effect known as bank effect. The pressure around the ship caused it to sheer off. Ships also don't stop in short distances and in some cases take miles to stop.

    The vessel on the left should have given the larger vessel more room to manoeuver. The larger vessel perhaps had sudddenly realised that being fully laden it was about to run out of water hence the sudden turn to port. I don't know but that's what it looks like to me.

    @TheBigWWI 9 лет назад +280

    A vessel, in many cases while transiting a narrow channel, will steer itself due to the pressure wave created between the hull underwater and the shallow sides. In this case, a very foolish pilot and complacent captain overtook the Maersk vessel too fast and the hull pressure between the two ships caused the bow of the Hapag vessel to push starboard into the shallow bank and the bank pressure wave pushed the Hapag bow sharply back to port and into the Maersk vessel.
    Wind has minimal affect on the vessels while making way due to the 25' to 35' draft. In my opinion, 90% of the blame falls to the Hapag pilot and 10% to the Hapag captain for not punching his pilot out for considering to overtake another vessel in a cramped seaway with such disparity in speed. The Maersk vessel is 100% clear as there was nothing they could do to minimize and risk.
    I would love to hear another captains qualified opinion on this incident.

      I'm not a captain, per se, but I spent a 20-year career as a US Naval officer, with a lot of it at sea. Your thoughts and mine fairly well coincide, sir.
      The Maersk-er could've sounded short blasts to "wake up," the people on the Hapag's bridge to the fact that they were standing into danger.
      Btw, don't they have Bridge-to-Bridge radios?

    • @navy57
      @navy57 9 лет назад +2

      Mike Hawk Allegedly old Captain Farwell, the author of "Farwell's Nautical Rules of the Road" said that whenever two vessels occupy the same body of water, risk of collision exists. Don't know if he actually said that,but seamen everywhere appear to be proving him correct. This fiasco was pretty strong supporting evidence of it.

    • @SportSoulLife
      @SportSoulLife 9 лет назад +5

      Mike Hawk That is no space at all. These ships handle very badly. Lets take a oil tanker for a example. 3 nm apart is a near miss to them, considering theyir turn radius is up to 0.8 nm and it takes up to 4.5 nm to stop it (a absolute minimum of 20 minutes). Ofcause these handle a little better, but still, it takes closer to a century to learn to sail like that. This is an example of a human error, propably a small fault by the navigator messuring the dephts

    Bow cushion and bank suction effect:
    Occurs in narrow channels near proximity of banks.
    There is a tendency for the bow of a ship to be pushed away from the bank, called bow cushion.
    The ship moves bodily towards the bank, which appears at the stern, called bank suction.
    Caused by the restricted flow of water on the bank's side.
    Velocity of water to the bank increases and pressure reduces.
    Results in drop of water level towards the bank.
    As a result, a thrust is set up towards bank.
    A vessel approaching to the bank will have to apply helm to the bank and reduce speed to prevent the sheer from developing.

    Looking at the direction of the chimney stack exhaust this give a clue as to where the wind was blowing with respect to the two giant ships. Well it look as as if the wind reflected off the blue ship and this accelerated so that there was a low pressure zone between the two ships which sucked them together,
    It seemed to have happened all of a sudden , fancy that the pilots seemed to have been caught unaware of the phenomena. I wonder!

  • @gregwong1445

    Thoughts on how this could have happened: Both ships have port (left) rudder to keep the ships going straight with a strong cross wind blowing port (left) to starboard (right). The port (left) rudder is needed to keep the bows, which have no rudder, from blowing starboard (to the right) in the strong cross wind. Then the Colombo Express overtakes the Maersk Tanjong on the Maersk Tanjong's leeward (downwind) side, the wind shadow created by the Colombo Express suddenly releases the wind side load off of the Colombo Express. Thus the bow now comes port since the ship has port rudder to counter the port starboard wind. Once the large ship starts its port (left) turn it is too late, even putting full starboard (right) rudder will not stop the turn in time before the ships collide. It sounds fairly windy in the video and these huge tankers would have a tremendous amount of side wind load in a cross wind. I have never driven one but being a captain of smaller ships for years I have had similar experiences.

    • @TheCSRTech
      @TheCSRTech 9 лет назад +3

      No, the turn to port was too extreme to be caused by wind shadow from the smaller ship. You can also see where the larger ship was backing down hard. Either there was a failure in the steering or they found themselves too close to the bank and about to go aground. Turning hard to port to avoid the shallows but then unable to turn back to starboard to avoid the collision due to decreased speed and rudder being ineffective even with forward motion when the ships props are in reverse.

      +jazzman9 A "sudden rudder failure" causing the ship to veer off course?
      Given that it had been going straight.
      This is as plausible as "temporary insanity".
      However I have had the same thing happen to a flat bottomed canoe.
      Ship travelling fast reaches a shallow patch and the water pressure underneath causes ship to suddenly change direction. Without responding to the rudder because the area of water under pressure is enormous.
      Which means that choosing to pass in this way was irresponsible.
      The ship ahead knew the channel and was as far right as the captain dared go.
