I loved watching the choreography of underway replenishment. I was in the Navy onboard the USS Forrestal. Flight ops would be shut down during replenishment operations. Our fueler lost her steering once in the Caribbean & hit us. Damaged the catwalks on the flight deck level & we lost a few life rafts but that was all. Nobody got hurt. Excellent video. You folks make some of the best videos I've seen & I've watched thousands. When you're crippled up, it keeps you from going insane. 😊 Thank-you ! 🫡 🇺🇸
Did a lot of underway replenishment (always at a speed of over 10 knots) in the Med back in the 1960s, I was a "duty electrician" much of the time and could just watch the action from a comfortable vantage point, sometimes the water was so clear one could see the forward bottom of the ship alongside, it was always interesting watching large cruisers and aircraft carriers coming up alongside and the helos transferring supplies to the smaller ships... Served on the USS Rigel AF58
I have installed them at night and day on numerous occasions offshore in plenty of different weather conditions. As per clients for our FPSOs worldwide.Our vessels anchored in 1900 meter water depths .Our transfer hoses Floating transfer hoses we stored on a large hydraulic electric winches on the stern. .The last one I worked on was FPSO ESPIRITO SANTO VLCC.GREAT JOB WITH SBM.We didn't really need them as our resupply vessels were all Dynamic positioned .And our cranes handled the rest.
I am very familiar with loading,deploying and retrieving Yokohama fenders. They were used in crude oil lightering. A 4 million barrel tanker transfering 1million to a smaller tanker. Also, one particular pier required 4 Yokohamas to be placed so the ship could stand off the pier. Those four Yokohamas i towed with a 36ft launch. I learned to use the fender's momentum, it would overcome my launch, to place them.
I'm quite sure it takes an ingenious design to ensure these bumpers do what they need to. Imagine how tough and durable they must be to keep from being crushed between ships weighing many thousands of tons or ships and immovable docks. 😮
Not much safety control displayed when testing them at 12:35. Two men stood in direct line of potential serious injury should that steel end cap blow off.
@@richardcarter5314 Standing on top is not considered dangerous. No more so than than propelling down a roadway in a 2000 lb conveyance at 40 mph. Necessary to retrieve and handle lines.
A very useful solution has been produced for oil smuggling operations... It would be very practical to apply it especially to the underdeveloped fifth world countries...

Very effective YES......... genius invention ? If you say so ..... INGENIOUS IS THE WORD
Ingenious design and reusing old tyres. Great idea!!

Sorry to nitpick. Never "bumpers"....fenders, fenders, fenders. 😉

Agreed, and at 02:52 it showed a worker on top of one whilst it was floating at a dock. If he fell off there could be serious issues.

True, but I would have liked to see a safety harness in use. (But, I have never done that type of work)@@firstlast1047

Notice they only show calm weather transfers.
Ini hal yang biasa saja ,di pelabuhan kan juga ada peredam karet atau yang tradisional biasanya pakai ban bekas
