I was at sea for many years,going to sea in 1952 and I cannot praise the Dutch too highly for the way in which they have salvaged ships which no other people would have attempted.Hats off to these brave,resourceful and determined men!
Yes the best riggers too 👍🏼
I stamp a deck from 6 (sixth) yo... Received visa in 12...
This company Smit-Tek is absolutely amazing. Some of the ship salvaging they have completed is astounding work. The size of the tasks they perform boggles the mind. Brilliant stuff
Thanks for using a real live voice and for keeping the music volume low. Cheers
Those sheer legs are bloody amazing, as is the size of the pontoons that carried the remains of the ship. Incredible work and engineering.
It's always a pleasure to gain some insight on how our world functions. Unless it directly involves them, the closest most folks get to this sort of thing is a blurb on the news channel. It's quite impressive to see engineering, ingenuity, and intelligence come together to produce recovery equipment to salvage sunken ships without turning the operation into a ecological nightmare. Good job Dutch MoW, keep up the great work.
Truly an unbelievable task. I don't imagine the sea state being so calm for any length of time. Wonderful job by all the crew involved. Good job by the film crew as well.
The Dutch Salvage Companies are the best in that Business, operating world wide. Many thanks!
Hans B. Yes but it’s there ships that are being sunk so they have lots of experience
An excellent, high quality video. Makes ocean salvage look easy! Judging from the condition of the wreck after it was recovered, it looks like it was on the bottom for a year or two.
Way to go Dutch. Wonderful job of protecting our oceans, great seamanship, and very brave divers. My hat is off to you.
Once I blew my load all over my girlfriend's tits, then I wiped it off with a warm towel,
I thought that was good seamanship...
Very professional work by all. The sea is a better place for your outstanding efforts.
@Robcop: I think you missed the parallels. A rescue operation started immediately to save the crew. There was nothing they could do to save the ship from sinking at that time. Obviously, the following salvage operation took a lot of preparation and planning, with the necessary paperwork. You're sarcasm does not do justice to the excellent job done by all people involved to save the crew and the environment.

@Frank Heuvelman I thought for a minute you were about to say one hand on the old fella and one hand for the boat.....LoL
Amazing bit of kit. Excellent job to the workers.
Smit ! Bloody amazing what these guys are capable of doing 😮👍👍
@Joshuafree321 The I UGO sunck in a very busy shipping lane in the Dutch coastal waters. Leaving here there was way to dangerous for the other ships. That's why it had to be removed.
Thank you to the Dutch, for good sea stewardship!
Great job guys, what a task!
Yet more proof it's bad luck to change the name of a ship.
Very good video thanks for posting this. :)
Great job!
The Netherlands is the best when it comes to water!
Great video!
Brilliant, The Dutch best in the world at this type of thing, did they ever get the money back? Sounded a little suspicious that the ship was sold just before this problem...?
great job. did not see any thing wrong here
Today I learned that mill scale is a commodity and is traded and shipped around the world.
i love these old svitzer videos they are indeed still the best despite leaving their own responce ship fighter to rot in rotterdam harbour not a fitting end for that ship a search on herald of free enterprise vids will show her first on scene. Who does marine salvage now around uk are svitzer still around or are they just called some thing else ?
awesome video
@writerconsidered. I think you missed the brackets around the word toxic... and BTW plasic also contain oil products... In addition there are thousands of other materails considered toxic that have nothing to do with oil. The point is that there was so much material in the ship, toxic and non-toxic, considered a danger for the environment that cutting her up would lead to an environmental disaster of great magnitude and therefore would never be considerd an option.
Your opinion about our professional knowledge about (toxic) waste is based on a total lack of knowledge about our company, the work we do and the people that work for us. So before you publish your personal assessment based on zero evidence please inform yourself better first.

Excellent what a quick response.
Fascinating stuff
Very clever people doing a great job
Sawing a shipwreck into pieces on the sea bottom with a chain is, I must remark, pretty bad-ass. In the 'macho'' sense of the word.
@@lewisbrady3921 I can assure you that no one gives a toss about whatever shady thing you're shilling.
Awesome!
Five million Euros seems like a bargain given the scale of the recovery operation. Recovering the Costa Concordia cost almost 300 times more - an estimated two BILLION dollars (~1.4 B Euros). Granted, the Costa Concordia was a LOT bigger. But, it sank to a shallower depth, in warmer and less turbulent waters, and aside from oil, did not carry other material such as mill scale that needed to be recovered. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Concordia_disaster
Cool Engineering Job!!
brilliant!
Cool work, not like we leave crashed cars where ever they had their accident..
Dutch salvors are among the best in the world! Great job. That said, I often wonder at how tense folk are these days over bunker oil, cargo, etc lost at sea when you consider maybe tens of thousands of similar vessels lost in the world wars, with really no effort at salvage, and no permanent damage to the oceans.
There ALWAYS is damage to the environment when a vessel sinks, oil tankers being one of the worst polluters, ( consider the Exxon Valdez disaster). The ocean will recover over time (years and years) but the accumulative damage only increases with time and frequency of sinkings. To say there is NO permanent damage is remarkably naive.
Many of the accessible wrecks have had most if not all of their fuel oil recovered. As technology grows they're going back and getting what was inaccessible at the time out now.
THATS AWESOME!
When things go wrong - 3/4 of the way into the video and you realize it's not the video you thought it was.
brilliant idea cutting the ship with anchor chains with heavy lift crane....cool
Anyone remember the AthenaB that beached in Brighton.
We got our mum to drive down and ran around the beach as excited 10 year olds, the anchor still is on the seafront as a memento/plaque .
What is the value of mill scale? I thought it was an unwanted trash by-product of steel production and processing.
9:23 damn dude had a strong ass flow w that piss, LOL
Not much you could do if the cargo was hazardous. If you are familiar with the industry you can see how things have changed with the times.
How do they get the chain under it initially before they cut it up?
they put a line drill on the bottom and drill sideways under the wreck then pull the chain through the bored hole
Cool
The vessel's original name was "Lugoj" - a city in Romania. Should we abide by the timeless seamen's superstition of not changing a ship's name?
+Alexandru Maioru Or perhaps we should leave ridiculous superstitions behind us.
this ship was a romanian ship named ' Lugoj '
sure they are.
@marcos palomino - there is way too much (toxic) waste in the Costa Concordia; there are tonnes of rotten food inside, all the stuff that people left behind (most of their belongings), including plastics, rubber, oil containing products, cosmetics, etc. etc. And of course all the chairs, tables, cabinets, beds, TVs and other electronics....
When they would cut the Concordia, all would get out, leding to a huge environmental disaster.
I don't think you know what toxic waste is. Oil oil oil not rotten food and plastic
writerconsidered Toxic waste is just poisonous... there are many types of poisonous.
Yes they do PKFVchannel said they were worried about the used rubbers.
If I'm correct they didn't cut the Costa out of fear it'll release the debris into the ocean so they welled air tanks to the side to lift her
writerconsidered actually rotting meat and food is dangerous to the ocean. Rotten meat creates toxic waste that ocean life aren’t familiar with. There is already an unbelievable amount of oil just sitting in the bottom of the ocean. Not just in the ground, but actually sitting on the ocean floor.
A bit too hyped by the tone of the announcer but, nevertheless, encouraging that there are systems in place to deal with potentially destructive situations.
Interesting
well,,, it is a yugo. what did they think would happen?
How can a wreck 30 meters down be a "shipping hazard"?
02:28
Narrator : The ship contains 383974 tons of Heavy Fuel.
Dire Straits : say that again please ?
Knowing little about sea salvage, and less about the Dutch involvement in it, I had a strong feeling, by the first few minutes of video, that these people live in the real world. There’s IQ and depth of consciousness behind this operation. IQ alone wouldn't get you this far.
These waves makes the ships die.
Real men's work there... Diving, cutting up and removing oil and cargo from a ship so far below
That'd be some shit. Realize you have the wrong ship when you pull up the bow section
Let's see...scrap metal is $197.00 a ton, and a container ship weighing 100,000 tons...$19,700,000.00
Narrator sounds like a leftover from 1940's newsreels.
sold that boat just in time.

Man... This is an old documentary. I know the ship because i was conceived on one of her sisters. The name is not I UGO... It's IUGO but the company that took the ship from ROMLINE 6 years before were so cheap they just painted over the base of the L and over the J of the old name LUGOJ . You can imagine how cheaply she was run...
Edit... Yeah they actually showed that 😂
mautu ioapo when things go wong salvage of the l ugo thonk you youtube videos in my loaptop compter thonk you goodday by now mautu ioapo thonk you 13.12.2014
WHy was that ship sold and renamed from the start I believe, it was a wreck ( what we call pateau poubelle) Many lies in most of those commercials , about pollutions for instance. Reassuring comments
Why is nothing being done about the vast quantities of nuclear waste that the English government dumped in the channel during the mid eightys. It seems heavy oil and diesel are far more of an environmental problem!! or perhaps its just the little man that cleans up.
Little man is always v busy..😂😂
Where did you get that info? Lol
This could be serious if she sinks it could damage the environment..... what about the freaking crew?
Accidents do NOT occur. They are caused!!!!!
Nothing personal... All okay, but whay people on deck during operation without lifejackets? Safety first!!! 😊
A sad pointer?
The UK, a once great maritime power, seems no longer to have any interest in the seas and any industry connected with them!
Let's name our Ship after the worst car ever made, that should be good luck!
That car was the "Yugo" and it wasn't even close to being the total PoS that the East German "Trabant" was! ruclips.net/video/No1-4GsQa-g/видео.html
Umm the AMC pacer....horrifically ugly and and cheaply built.
@@ivanferguson2019 - Have you ever driven one on snow and ice? Scariest car I have ever driven on snow and ice.
Austin Allegro?
If it's in a 100 feet of water, how could that impact shipping vessels? How deep is the draft on the average tanker or cruise ship? 30 feet at the most I would guess. The only real danger to boats is the buoy they stuck on it. Once the cargo and environmentally harmful stuff was removed, why couldn't they leave the ship down there?
+theholytoast Emma Maersk has a draught of 52 feet. Prop may be further down than that. Boats are big. The emma maersk is 180 feet side to side. The boat in this video is wider than 50'. Do the math, there is a reason they spent millions recovering this.
Hmmm, are you thinking that the ship is only a few inches TALL?. It sits in 100 feet of water, it is no doubt not far under the surface at the masthead
Could have just been marked with a buoy so other boats could steer around it if needed..
isnt it better to leave ship wrecks as they make coral reefs and attract wide varieties of fish?
Coral does not live in the Northsea. Besides there is not space to leave the wreck where it was.
That's what you get for buying a yugo.
You should have titled it "When Money Is No Object" ........Good luck getting your money.
Buy a boat, rename and pay all taxes... Then 5+ million euros in the accident. That was a great investment :(
Nice commercial for the North Sea directorate...Sounds like a bunch of tyrants...
scrap metal
Pesky flying coastguard.. Honest Guv it's soap..😂😂😂
Bloated bureaucracy followed by Great engineering,
I prefer "Netherlanders"
I drink Hydo-carbonated water all the time,.. no harm
why dont they fill it up with ping pong balls
It works for me. Every time I go to sea I eat a lot of ping pong balls. If I get drunk and fall overboard I will float and float and float, eventually getting around to the the Pacific Gyre, where some research ship can pick me up, or what's left of me after big sharks and little nibblers have their bites.
the government red tape fiddling while the ship sinks
The Ugo was the worst car ever inflicted on mankind !!
Despite what Poloticians keep carpping and squabbaling about. When life is at danger at sea, all who can help start in.
too much fucking drama
and the hundreds of tankers sunk in WW 2 had no effect,,,,, the environment by itself consumed the stuff nature can deal with these things
B Williams You are a disgrace to humanity.. How much plastic were used in shipbuilding those days?
Next to that there is lots of trouble with dumped ammunition from WW2..
Safer for shipping to remove it than wait for nature. I'm constantly amazed at how much better side-scanning sonar has gotten and the imaging resolution nowadays. Unless you've been in chop (feels different than surf!) like this, don't presume you won't lean overboard a few times to feed the fish. The skill to do this day-in and day-out is very impressive. The cable and chain work skills are as well.
We'll leave why we treat war graves with corroded explosive charges for another thread.
@@OmmerSyssel A huge amount of plastic pollution comes from plastic drink containers like soda and water bottles, along with plastic grocery bags, lost plastic rope nets, fishing line, etc. Most plastic does not break down in seawater. There are places in Thailand where long stretches of seashore unusable by man or beast due to all the forms of plastic that have washed ashore and collect there.
@@ammoalamo6485 Everyone is aware of the insane pollution Asia is producing.
The modern western world is producing some five percent(!) of todays plastic pollution.
We are dealing with our crap in a responsible manner..
There is no "fuck"... During the job..... This is a difference between mascaw /Europe.....mascaw is stone age.. Bribes talking & money swindling.....
Narrator says they used cables "..as thick as a man's wrist...." How utterly sexist, eh?
.
Only sexist if you ignore the fact ma has two meanings:
1/ man, a male
2/ man, the race
I have seen men with wrists from small to thick, and the same with women. Therefore calling the statement sexist is as accurate as saying that oil is thick.
Is there anything you weak minded morons don't get offended by?
Is the threat to the environment more important than that to human life?
bigdmac33 think about that statement you you just made really , really hard. Think about the relationship between the the two. People need the environment a lot, I mean a lot more than the environment needs us, that's for sure.
We are a threat to the environment of our planet, and as time passes we are making the environment more and more a threat to us and our lives. Thank you
lmfao yes! Fool.
