  • In 2015 I did sail on the tug 'Fairmount Galcier' for more than 6 months. Here a impression of those 6 months.

      Hey you say get back to sea. I from N.Y. do heavy construction for a living. Weld touch cut all that . I have a burning desire to work on ship. Cargo, tug, how do u get started onto working on ships? Thx

    Guys, for those who are complaining about my music choice, I'm sorry for that but I am just a Tugboat officer and not a professional video maker. If you would like to hear the engines of this tug, please check out the video called: Starting a main engine of the FM Glacier. It's without any music and you will only hear the norse of machinery. All the best

    • @videosuperhighway7655
      @videosuperhighway7655 7 лет назад +6

      In all honesty that harsh music detracts from the video. My recommendation if you are at least interested in improving your skills and increasing your subscribers is not into stick a music track over the ambient sounds. It is much more interesting to listen to just the sounds of the ship which is very important aspect of the video experience.

    • @ethanelliott6859

    Recently I followed the Fairmount Glacier accompanying the Hawk carrying the Transocean Winner to Aliaga in Turkey. They did not take the same route as the Hawk travelled below Crete while the Glacier did not. They seem to meet at Aliaga were the Glacier paced the area around Aliaga for some time. Then it went back to Malta and I saw it entering the Grand Harbour to the most inner part at Marsa which is now rented for the oil industry use . It was a spectacular sight seeing it from St Elemo at Valletta on my little 70 cc motorcycle. I beat it all the way to Marsa! even though I do not have the same bollard pull! Seems to be a powerful tug though I never saw it travel at more than 11 knots. At the moment it is on Hurds bank in Malta where a long time ago we fished for deep fish. At the moment it is surrounded by many other ships anchored there offshore. Brings back nice memories of my youth.

    I need to work for these companies. This pisses me off big time and I have never tried my hand at competitive shooting but could probably do pretty well and would love the opportunity to eliminate these f'n scumbags that try to pirate a ship and would likely desire less than half what the current security gets paid!!
    I am a USMC trained "Rifle Expert". I was a great shot prior to my entry into the military and an even better one after boot camp, which was very long ago.
    The last time I went to an indoor range I used a Bersa Thunder .380 and a Lorcin (now gone) chrome plated .380, backed the target up as far as it could go-indoor range, I think the max distance was 50' or 50 yards, then picked a spot on the target (Silhouette), on the upper right side. I exhausted 7 rounds and I brought back a target with a hole a bit smaller than a U.S. "quarter Dollar".
    I have some significant disabilities and have been repeatedly denied disability benefits but, if what I have seen is even minimally accurate, then I might be able to offer you some great service and at a fraction of what other professionals get paid.
    Please let me know if you may be interested in my services and what I may need to do to provoke you into incorporating my abilities.
    I noticed that some men have recently been "kidnapped" by scumbags from the prime areas for piracy and would love a chance at deterring that kind of desire or consideration!
    I don't know that I could help or not but I'd love to be given the opportunity to try!
    Thanks so much for any consideration.

    • @JanDootjes
      @JanDootjes  5 лет назад

      Ik heb inderdaad stage gelopen bij Fairmount voor mijn MarOff opleiding. Als je wat van de wereld wilt zien dan moet je niet op een zeesleper gaan varen, je zit ongeveer 80% van de stageperiode op zee. Soms lig je bijvoorbeeld 1 maand voor anker en vervolgens ben je bijvoorbeeld 3 maand aan het slepen. Soms doen slepers een haven aan, dit is meestal om snel te bunkeren, proviand in te slaan of een crewchange te doen. Gr Jan
