I was on this ferry service on the 11th June 2012 and again on the 14th June. It was a part of our trip we will never forget. The skill of the Captain as we came and went to islands from Athens to Santorini was a highlight of our trip. The weather was beautiful and the trip was fantastic. ❤️🇦🇺🦘
that why he or she is a captain ( i would have done the same and i am a former captain )..if you know your ship, you know what she can do and take and what she cant...this was a clear, nope get her out to safety asap.
@@Sjoerdwm1981 In aviation we call it a go around. Could it have been done? Possibly. But always better to use superior judgment to not put yourself in situations where you have to use superior skill.
You know its pure skill, when they make it look easy, when they make it look like its no bid deal, This right here is absolutely amazing, on so many levels. The ship coming in hot, it being a massive fucking ship, doing it on water, and not just close to a dock, but in a tight corner... Well done, and big respect and shout out to the captain and the crew! Also rewatching this at 2.0 speed, is a must
The captain has balls. Not only for trying to do this, but also for knowing when to abort and doing it safe. He knows he needs speed to steer and not do drift into the rocks behind him. Respect.
The captain is obviously experienced. One of the interesting things to note was how when the ship was aligned broadside to the wind, it just didn't stand a chance. The wind was coming at an almost 'perfect' 90° angle off his starboard midships, effectively turning the ship into one massive iron sail, I mean you could see the vessel beginning to list as he tried to manoeuvre her to sternward for docking. Sadly though, there have been some horrible shipping tragedies in Greece. In Scandinavia there was the terrible tragedy of the MS Estonia in 1994. On the morning that the Estonia set sail, winds of 40 knots were being reported and indeed the high winds resulted in the waves hammering her bow door until the locks failed. Very sad. But in Denmark you have a great history of modern shipping with Maersk's giants belonging to the Triple E class.
I traveled to the island of Tinos as a child and I still remember the rough seas that island had even in summer! I got really sea sick and scared😨 I can imagine the fear the people had in that ship. Congratulations to the captain 👏👏👏👏
It looks like the wind just started to blow, much wind but only small waves so the boat doesn't rock. If the boat isn't rocking, I don't think they were scared. It's big waves that can make it scary, at least for me but I think for most people too.
The captain is an absolute madman! He drifted a sea ferry into a narrow bay, did a doughnut in the tight spot, then did an S-turn at full throttle! He could probably parallel park that thing easily! He must eat, sleep, and dream with ships! He must have wanted to be a ship captain all his life!
@@blackjack444.... I would go to sea with that captain anyday. Samoli pirates would stand no chance against this guy, even in a slow container ship. He would maneuver the beast like a jet ski and run them over with the freighter. Then, coming from behind the ship's propeller you see nothing but pirate chops floating to feed the fish.
During summer season in greece ships must dock in many ports and go back to their home ports in order to be ready for the next day and do it all over again.If you ever visit a cyclades island during high season,you will understand.
yo that is absolutely amazing piloting! absolutely amazing amazing captain there. I don't care that they didn't end up docking it, the maneuvering in and trying to get up to it and then back out again without causing a huge disaster and a at least 300 ft vessel is fabulous and it's a master class on how to attempt that
Drifting with a ferry, wow!!! Some years ago in Naxos i saw one of the blue star getting into the harbour really fast and i saw her putting all the tiller and dropping the entire the anchor chain for docking. It was really amazing. Ps: my naval english is bad, sorry
Some stupid posts. Greek ferry captains are amongst the most skillful in the world. Conditions obviously too dangerous too dock. From another seafaring nation.
David Joyce correct... with that high wind speed and all that freeboard.... it would be like trying to moor under power and thrusters with a huge set of sails.
really! You are a great captain who can control a large ship that is not a yacht. And this ship was made by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in Korea.
Surprised he attempted it but he done great job saving it. Some might say he was lucky but there was a lot of skill to even try it and get back out. One thing is for certain, the engines and thruster just had a thorough workout
Legend skipper, he already know could not make it as soon as he enter harbour Turns around like a beast.....now for riding out the weather.......good job
Dan Ramirez a few things happened here....if he can’t get in then he has to justify to the owners why they have a extra $15000 fuel bill ( assuming he’s out there for a day or two riding out weather) As he comes in to port he can expect shelter from the land,but he soon discovered there was no hiding from that wind.....also the only way is forward as going in reverse is useless in the best of conditions He tried to keep to the expensive schedule but I think a bit of poo 💩 come out he’s pants and thought fuck that we are out of here lol
Dan Ramirez them waves are not big enough to capsize that beast, just point the bow in to the waves and ride it out with a brew in hand lol To be honest he’s a dick for even trying to come in to the harbour
I've traveled so many times on this exact ferry. The skippers are super skilled. Probably some of the best in the world. The same went for Olympic pilots, always coming in hot and fast with steep bank angles.
@@jma5177 Pelo meu visto deve ser um treinamento para ver como um comandante em um novo serviço aje de uma certa forma em alto mar para que o mesmo não aconteça com o que aconteceu com o transatlântico de luxo o COSTA CONCÓRDIA .
In very adverse weather and sea conditions, the danger is the coast and salvation is the open sea. The best captain is the one who doesn't rock the ship. And that was great.
Всё правильно. Он сделал попытку и никто не сможет его обвинить и предъявить претензии, что он проигнорировал, не зашёл в порт. Здесь замешаны бизнес и репутация компании. Наоборот, избежал возможных повреждений судна и причала при швартовке. Молодец.
Holy Shit Sherlock....thought for sure it was going to crash. The captain controlled this ship like a friggin' race car driver. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !! This is amazing skill....absolutely top notch. Thanks for posting this.
I know this harbor and it can be a real challenge entering in during a full-blown meltemi. If you see the force of the wind blowing away her wake waves, or the stern waves, it's quite impressive. A wise decision, i think, because her anchor would not have hold. Without a secured dock and the help of two tugs boats, despite of her having a bow truster, better go off to Syros, as the captain must have done (Mykonos could also be an alternative).
The ferry has bow thruster (at least two), stern thrusters (again at least two, maybe three) on top of the two main propellers…. Still great seamanship!
Капитан всё сделал правельно! Ветер с берега очень сильный, не дал бы пришвартоваться, опасность навалится на пирс. Парусность судна мешает моневру. Он ушёл на другую точку, пока ходит обстановка в гавани изменится, придет через пару часов и высадит пасажиров. А то что он лихо вошел в бухточку, так это обычный моневр, это же паром! Это как учитель матиматики 25 лет у доски рассказывает про Бином Ньютона, а мы его первый раз слышим и восхищаемся училкой!
I been on this ship in 2015. The skills of the captain and crew are amazing.
Absolutely mastery! Normally we're hearing about safety violations or sunk ferries, not about pros like here. They can really be proud.
@@udirt Obviously, the crew and captain know each other well. They function with extreme discipline.

The most admirable virtue a captain can have is not being able to do the impossible but to know his or her own human limits.

Sea-going bus. No-one at the bus stop, so the captain just sailed on. Bloody skilled though in a force 6 or 7.

If a Greek captain couldn't pull that off no-one can. They are the best in the world.

It's Mad Max.
Awsomenes man that's great captain there... That manuaring mannnn
MAre mosso nave velocissima, comandante bravissimo!
It looked like the ship was going really fast before the turn was that also because of the wind?
Most probably: ruclips.net/video/y91Tj_rOR7o/видео.html
Maybe the captain was drunk.. why he get in there ? Then just leave? And really fast..
Strong winds are reducing the ships ability to manœuvre. In order to compensate, the ship has to maintain a minimum speed.
