Much better than Discovery Channel documentaries indeed. When i watch one from them i'm always cringing every time the narrator speaks, so childish overdone :D This video was very interesting!
I'm a retired cameraman and every time I saw those bleak long shots and wind blowing the protective clothing around I shivered. Great job both shooting and editing.
Probably one the most well made documentaries I’ve ever seen. The opening was perfect, the music was soft piano and melodic, the narration was also great. Good job whoever did this.
Brilliant job carried out professionally, skilfully and without any helicopters, big mouthed people demanding things "right now" and best of all absolutely No Omygods!
Unlike the current trend of discovery channel bullshit infotainment where stupid details are repeated 13 times with really really annoying drama music in a vain attempt to create drama from literally nothing
@@LukeHealeyNZ - Ah you forget though, the producers have got to stretch the program into an hour in order to get enough advertisers to pay all the "inflated" wages of the crew etc. and themselves.
Very detailed and no 'short attention span' crap you find on American documentaries like repeating everything. Marvellous show. These guys are awesome.
This is a miracle of salvaging, so simple and yet so grand. The gentleman giving a fluent and accurate account of the situation at 14:39 is not conscious of all the components that he is projecting but in fact he is representing the wonderful strength of character and courage and backbone of the whole team that did it. It is almost unbelievable that under those ardent difficult conditions, he is so pensive and he smiles while he speaks in short effective accurate penetrating concise sentences , telling us about him being tired and having slept to rest and wake up to proceed with the difficulties and to finish up so optimistically by saying, " Meanwhile we are enjoying the nice sun," giving such an happy radiant simile at 15:16 envizaging success in a few hours. A great leader indeed. That is what makes a man and his spirited team achieve such great wonders. All I can say is , congratulations to all the team to raise this floating dock which was grounded through the use of the immense power of flotation or Archimedes principle. In Malta there was a floating dock that sunk in the mud and though the water was taken out of it, the suction of the mud or the fact that the water could not get under the bottom of the floating dock , resisted the upward forces and they had to aeriate the bottom through using compressed air through long pipes where it shot up when the suction was eliminated and Archimedes took over. Congratulations folks, you all deserve a good beer. Well done.
I just knew that it would be a Dutch company, and it was.. Everyone is thinking, wait for Spring High Tides.. The Dutch say, let's build a polder and float it out..
@@cjhification Except when they put a large mobile crane on a flat barge without tying it down, - take the whole lot up a canal and then are surprised when it tips over onto some houses beside the canal trying to lift something too heavy for it.
Very good editing, none of this "Oh no this is so very dangerous people could die crap" Yes, we know people can die. Just stick to the subject at hand. You did that, Awesome!
+Kent brochman indeed. These informative documentaries are so much better than the Discovery channel garbage from the loggers, the truckers or whatever they "docusoap"
Kent brochman Oh my god! you guys are sooo right about discovery channel! It gets annoying as hell after a while! I always end up not watching the whole thing. Lol!
Beautifully edited video, very enjoyable to watch without any gung ho theatrics. Although you do have to wonder how do you loose a 6,000 ton barge, I know I left it here yesterday (-:
Many thanks...a most interesting documentary dealing with an unusual situation. I think the American TV documentary makers could learn something from the Dutch/Swedish approach! No shouting, no histrionics and loud shouting...instead we saw hard working staff working away (no doubt any shouting and 'inter-personal difficulties were 'off screen'!) to achieve their goal. However, I wonder what would have happened if the sand has been sticky mud? No doubt though they would have managed it whatever! An excellent video...my thanks to everyone involved. Rob.
@@catsandcrafts171 An old friend of mine not only went there with her work, but got attacked when she went into a no go zone near malmo. And recorded it all on film. ruclips.net/video/xao4tPpoEhE/видео.html
I was glad to see that the drydock got a paint job in the end!!! I hate seeing vessels of any kind get into a state of disrepair. It seems that there was life in the old girl yet!!!!
Love the way they add subtitles,over someone speaking perfectly good english,they would have been taught,30-40 years ago,have had at least 20 years to practice,but someone decided no it's just not good enough.Even though humans have been quite good at using their brains to work out communication,for thousands of years.
GREAT WORK GUYS you did an outstanding job I enjoyed it very much .IM just grateful that I was not the one that had to sign the check for your great job you & your boys done.
Well done in terms of execution and documentation. Coming from someone who works in the construction industry, it was interesting to watch as project manager Willem Olgers was transformed from a parachuted newbie, at 6:50 to a muddied up, hands on expert by 14:30 . It seems that this is usually how it works on a successful project.
Very cool video to watch! Who in their right mind would dislike something like this?? Big thumbs up to the video crew, and all the hard working people who participated in this project! :)
There's being cold and there's being wet, but being cold and wet is particularly unpleasant; good on everyone who put up with both to make this happen.
Well done, brilliant .... a feel the audience is not at the third grade level, makes the audience feel better at the progress seen on the video, makes us all feel like adults. Solving world problems as grown adults instead of making problems out of problems and having a self motivating ego to be the only and the best... we work together we are the best....
Top Notch, wonderful video about a most difficult salvage operation. Just goes to show you that people are capable of great things, under hard conditions. In the US, that dock would have been scrapped and some poor insurance company would have been stuck for the bill. Again, Very good work.
im not sure of its on youtube, but after hurricane Katrina, they had a show on discovery channel called ''deep sea salvage'' where they put sum enormous ships & barges back in the water in the gulf of mexico. i think there was only 4-5 episodes before it got cancelled, and typical Discovery Channel tried to focus on the drama, but the salvage engineers did an incredibly good job of moving some of these ships. look it up, its worth watching.
This is the outcome when you have a capable team with experts that know what they are doing! Especially working in those freezing conditions but l suppose they are used to working in adverse weather, l can only imagine what it would be like as l am lucky living in Australia with all its much warmer temperatures, well done to you all.
ive had the chance to work under Swedish officers and they are a great people to serve under.Scandinavians in general are cool guys.Regards from the Orient.Gud Jul.
More money doesn't necessarily translate to good work. And less money given to tasks doesn't necessarily equate to shoddy work, esp. in labors of love for work the helper(s) see as vital but are left to do it in exploitative conditions.
R S lots of words that say nothing but suggest many things. And these big jobs everything is inspected,, materials, labor, everything. If shoddy work is allowed it’s the state paid inspectors allowing it.
GREAT hard work to save the dock. Just thinking with a specially built submersible dock like this would it be possible to bring up the Titanic? Sink it to the bottom under the wreck and then pump the water out?
Dang, that was a lot of hard labour!... Congratulations to all those workers for a job well done!! Must be very rewarding to have been part of such an endeavour!... Good job, folks! Good job!
Wat zou Ome Koos hier trots op zijn geweest Paul... wij sloopte en ruimde branden op toen in mijn periode. Als je dan ziet wat er nu staat...Ongelooflijk. Ik ben er trots op als oude werker van een super bedrijf toen in Nederland. en nu even dit uit de grond trappen toppie.!
you dutch know how too salvage ,and recycle .the best in the world,by far!shame the rest of the world wasn't.like you ,or as good.the worlds oceans wouldn't be littlered ,with wrecks and stuff.nearly everything ,at the bottom ,is recycable,its mostely made of metal.well done guys,keep up the good work.theres a lot too salvage!id love a job,in salvage!dutch the best !
People talk a little too much about video editing here, when the most important was a well done job. And the man we should congratulate the most is Willem Olgers-sama, for a clever idea to salvage such a huge floating dock without damaging the surrounding protected environment! ^^
I agree.. well done. Just the facts, and the work. The job itself is dramatic enough, no need for the ridiculous fake drama, and the 5 minute recap after every commercial break.. that kills me too. Most American "documentaries" are garbage..
when I was in Finland, I had many Swedish speaking Finns as friends. The only Finnish people I was with was my relatives. :) It is great to see how they fix problems with ease :)

I love the contrast between the clean tidy animations and then immediately the dirty, cold, muddy reality. Good storyboarding and excellent video.
I miss when documentaries were like this without the drama.
Much better than Discovery Channel documentaries indeed. When i watch one from them i'm always cringing every time the narrator speaks, so childish overdone :D This video was very interesting!
It's the difference between american style 'Edutainment' and an actual classical documentary.

Nicely done. Very interesting recovery and the film work and narration was first class, no fake drama.
How did the dock get to its stuck position please.
Anyone know how much this project costed?
A perfectly executed film! What a nice job, pleasure to watch.
Excellent film. Just the right mix of animations explaining what is going on and actual films. Thank you for the sub-titles as well. Well done.
Dutch maritime salvage - arguably the best in the world. Good film.
I just knew that it would be a Dutch company, and it was..
Everyone is thinking, wait for Spring High Tides..
The Dutch say, let's build a polder and float it out..
Nations which focus heavily on maritime trade tend to be good at marine salvage.
Typical Dutch understatement, just develop a plan and stick to it

It was good not to see an animation of the dock turning turtle in 1 metre of water, lol.
Neat video. Love the music and the camera shots were great. I like the way the camera man took some beautiful shots of sunrise and sunsets.
why would people come here and then downvote such a well made doco...dont like it, dont watch it, baffles me
I have seen this several times and when the dock begins to move..it never gets old ! Awesome job !!!!
When I see this, I’m proud to be Dutch ! Well done !

Good on ya mate!
Very Nice Tunes!
Long Shot on this, but can you tell me the name of the song that played at 18:24? Thank You
Wonderful storytelling, in words, images, and music. Thank you.
It was surprising to see how quickly the salvage was accomplished, even in the dead of Winter. Tough men for a tough job. Great documentary.

Some serious money was spent on this. Serious money means well done job.
floating dry docks are pricey to replace.
There's probably not that many of these things around so it had to be salvaged not scrapped in situ

Good movie, really enjoyed it. Shared it as an example of good craftsmanship. I'll watch it later again.

How chuffed was he that the dry dock was still there in the morning when he looked from his room. He made me lol

The description says it was an unconventional method. I wonder what the conventional method would have been.
Digging out, instead of creating a dock for the dry dock
