HISTORY OF SUCCESS

  • Опубликовано: 18 мар 2014
  • For more than 150 years the SVITZER group and specialist subsidiary SVITZER Salvage have earned their reputation in the field of international salvage.
    It is a history of success. This DVD shows just a few of those salvage assignments and the skills that underlie them. It includes the spectacular rescue of the ELWOOD MEAD from the Guernsey coast in the seventies, the salvage of the EUROPEAN GATEWAY, and numerous tanker rescues during the Iran-Iraq war in the eighties. SVITZER Salvage was on the spot and saved many, among them crude oil tanker HAVEN. Rescuing precious cargo from a Russian Ro-Ro at Vera Cruz in Mexico and the removal of Drill Barge C201 on Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela are also examples of the core business of SVITZER Salvage. The company watches over everything afloat, on all seas of the world.

      Stating a "history of success" is correct. Your spelling would indicate that they had many-that has ended unsuccessfully in some way.

    Some nerves of steel right there... Driving a huge coach from one shaky arse boat to another shaky arse boat using nothing but a makeshift bridge...
    Was the driver sitting on the comfy seat or was he cushioned even further by his huge balls?
    I'm thinking the latter.

    What on earth was this ship doing in that place? (Channel Islands.)
    What effect has all that iron ore on the environment?

    • @Dave-id6sj
      @Dave-id6sj 5 лет назад +2

      Not much at all, it was Iron Ore from North Western Australia, where the mines many millions of years ago were under the ocean and were part of the ocean floor. Iron ore pellets discharged would break down like they did millions of years ago and form sediment. Depending on the size of the pellets they can be recovered, China stores excess Australian iron ore in the ocean and retrieves it when it needs it.

    The biggest delays in the bus-carrier salvage were caused by frequently having to utter the name of the ship.
