  • 1 of 1000's being recycled by SMEDEGAARDEN in denmark after almoast 50 years in business.
    The vessel ws in fully operational condition and came steaming from Cyprus on her last journey to Esbjerg - dk for being recycled after getting the contract with the owners and the governments in Norway and Denmark. All reuseable equipment has been removed to our stores before beaching her as well as all tanks are made empty and cleaned throughly so pollution is prevented. 1 of many which has gone and still loads to go away in the future... everything has a life ... and a death...

    The ship may look operable, but this vessel, built in 1972, is from an era of primitive bulk carriers which had a variety of structural weaknesses. In the 1990s a spate of sinkings occurred, resulting in amendments to the SOLAS treaty.
    Many bulk cargoes are vulnerable to moisture intrusion, and not just because of freshness concerns. Some materials including cement can become liquids when wet and destabilize a vessel. This old ship was probably corroding and just not safe to operate any longer.

    3:33 looks like the anchor chain pulled right through the anchor locker when they pulled the ship up on shore. Fascinating.

  • @racingteddy
    @racingteddy 11 лет назад +2

    Yeah, that's really odd isn't it? I suspect it's not the anchor chain though, since one would imagine that the locker would be further up in the bow and that the chain would emerge from the anchor fairlead rather than from some random square hole in the topsides.

    A few comments.... radar isn't running when beaching as the Vessel is completely empty for all Machinery, electrical items, oil, gas oil, hydr. oil, Chemicals etc etc etc:
    We used to use torches, but hey, There has been developed Machinery and Things to help us protect the environment and protect the workers, which is our main goal as a Ship recycler.
    Such a machine can do the Work which requires app. 20 good Guys each with a torch pr. day.
    Steel has to be processed for their end purpose, and some makes plates, others make scrap for melting...
    For some of the people online, use your intelligence and learn about the thing you comment before giving comments on something you don't know nothing about.

    Hello and happy day: I inform you: The submarine Aras San Juan of Argentina was sunk on 11/15/2017 at 7:30 am by another Chinese submarine that was in espionage work and the Aras San Juan was pierced by Chinese submarine firing torpedoes at them and could not dodge it. The sinking of Russia's oscar-class submarine K-141 Kursk is the best known and remembered to date and was sunk on 08/12/2000 by another Russian submarine as they wanted to desert their crew and request political asylum and of course the Russian submarine K-141 KURS was refloated some time later but did not have a happy ending like the submarine in the movie The Hunt for Red October made and filmed in Hollywood and starring actors Thomas Sean Connery and Alexander Rae "Alec" Baldwin III. The American nuclear-powered submarines and all loaded with several missiles with nuclear warheads or warheads each of them, which are: 1) USS Thresher "SSN-593" and loaded with missiles with nuclear warheads and on April 10, 1963 wrecked or sunk, 2) The submarine USS Scorpion "SSN589" and sank on May 21, 1968. Other submarines of the Soviet Union with nuclear propulsion and loaded with missiles with nuclear warhead or warhead and these are apart from the K-141 Kurs previously commented, the following: 1) The submarine K-27 project 645 and sunk in 1979, 2) Submarine K-8 November class was sunk on April 12, 1970 and is the greatest radioactive threat in the world, 3) Submarine K- 129 with diesel-electric propulsion but loaded with nuclear weapons and sank on March 8, 1968, 4) Submarine K-278 Komsomolets and was sunk on April 7, 1989, 5) November class submarine K-159 and was sunk on August 30, 2003. Aviation accidents loaded with nuclear weapons just to mention a few are: 1) In 1958 a B-47 bomber collided with an F-86 jet in the vicinity of Tybes Island, Georgia USA, the nuclear-charged bomb weighed 3,000 Kg and never was found, 2) In 1968 a USAF B-52 bomber crashed with 4 nuclear bombs on board the material explosive was detonated; the nuclear components had been deactivated by the crew and only 3 of them were recovered. And the most remembered; 3) Occurred on 03/08/2014 due to the alleged error of the impact of an Iranian missile "as the guy on the 8th of the Mexican comic program would say * It was unintentionally wanting *" that he blew up MALAYSIA Airlines flight 370 MH370 / MAS370 that it was not carrying any nuclear bomb load but it was full of passengers with pure international scientists who were going to give a conference and news about the vaccine and cure of some cancer and AIDS "as I affirm or confess on 06/16/2020 Donald John Trump President of the USA ”and they were also going to warn of the possible pandemic such as the covid-19. The transatlantic ship RMS Titanic did not sink as a result of the collision with an iceberg but by a torpedo fired by a German submarine that was on espionage. In the world today in the 21st century there are more than 130 lost or lost bombs, nuclear or atomic warhead missiles and this loss is due to the sinking or destruction of ships, airplanes, or submarines around the world. In this world things or events do NOT happen by mere chance but by a true cause and effect that will never tell us their truth and if they will always distort it. And all my scientific technical information is sustainable or verifiable either by google or youtube on the Internet.
