Oh it’s great to see ships starting to come and go! These crews are doing a great job at getting the port operational again!
I AGREE,DEREK
So pleased some shipping is getting thru / out. Great effort everyone. Well done!👋
thank you for accurate and up to date information
You're welcome
Excellent progress being taken to clear the channel amazing coverage being done to keep us informed we thank you all who are sharing what is going on
Much appreciated
Hats off to all the people working on the bridge to clear it away. They worked 24 hours a day to open this up and get it clear away ..
My hat is off to these people...
Thanks for the video, Andy. Your work means a lot. Stay safe yourself. Jon
My God, the Dali is a monster...
And they only consider it a mid sized container ship
Again cast beside the Dali this boat is a mere mortal.....What a difference in size !!
That's a decent sized ship! Hats off to all the people involved in this clean up project.
Bravo. Thanks to the hard working crews that made this possible.
Absolutely!
Thank you for keeping us informed Captain Andy
You bet
Yes! Amazed how much they cleared so fast and so happy they can now release the trapped ships.
Same here
Well done to everyone for getting the ships moving. Love the tugs. Thanks Andy. Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks Andy, great video
I live near The Solent & often watch the big container ships going in & out of Southampton (UK) so have a good idea of the size, but watching things like this still leaves staggered at the enormity of the task & how much work & effort is going into this to help get the port working.
Great job bud, keep 'em coming 👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing
That really gives a great perspective on how big that cargo carrier ship is ..
Hats off to the Army Corps of Engineers and the Coast Guard and other members of the Unified Command for taking charge
wow , that was pretty quick to get a tanker through there, as long as they can keep the ship traffic going while rebuilding the bridge that would be pretty good , Thank you Pete , Your far and away one of the best sec of trans
That video emphasise the enormous size of the DALI.
Thank you Mr.Andy the Moran. Tug And Don jon are very well able to push or pull those boats. They are my top 2 tugs i like to watch .Thank You for Sharing Mr.Andy .Stay Safe
Great work Andy. Thx
Glad you enjoyed it!
It surprises me how powerful a Tug Boat is. I saw a You Tube video today of the USS John C Stennis (CVN 74) being pulled backwards by a small tug and I was blown away at how powerful that little tug was.
Massive engines and a large prop or other propulsion system in a comparative small package. The also have to have stout tow bars to hitch up steel cables or massive hawsers.
In this video the bow tug's tow line is not taunt.
@@NoNowiners Correct. The main ship is under its own power. The tugs are just there for safety.
Yes the divers are doing a GREAT job. God bless them all. Jay
Dude...6:17...the size difference compared to the Dali 😛...what an awesome perspective
Thanks Andy, something different every day...

The Dali is absolutely massive.
Thank you! Another Great day for Baltimore and another Great video from You!
Thanks Captain Andy ❤
You are so welcome
Thank you, Sir, for the updates.
Thank you, Andy for your great and up to date videos. Very educational too as I have learned a lot. I live CO with nothing like this here. I am totally amazed and in love with the tug boats and all that they can do!! Also all the cranes and clearing of the steel etc, and what the crews are all doing!!!! Thanks to all those people involved !!!🙏🏻❤
Whatever it was, fully loaded or not, me believing is one thing, but knowing the facts another.
Main thing is, it was not months or years or whatever was predicted and all that panic making at first.
Fair enough, it is not those HUGE containerships that came through.
But i would say Kudos to the ACE and the cranes . They really did a great job. Looks like the Army still can do if and when needed!!!! Bravo!!!!!!
It's large, but small compared to the size of the Dali. It provides a perspective of just how massive the Dali actually is. Another factor allowing the small tanker to enter the port is that it is not fully loaded. I hope that they cleat the debris away from the Dali as quickly as possible, and then float the Dali off. At that point, hopefully they will be able to dredge the main channel back to its full depth.
Keep bringing us coverage Capt Andy. I hope they can get enough income ships to get most of the dock workers back on the job.
You and me both!
Thanks for the update. News at its best.
Another great video Andy
Thanks 👍
Excellrnt❤
Thanks 🤗
watching from Quakertown, Pennsylvania USA
Thank you
You're welcome
What a difference in size between the Dali and the other ship.
Irini-600'
Dali-980'
Let’s make sure we have proper protective ballards on incoming ad out piers and on the power lines
excellent work, i wonder if the Ships captain had a man down below listening for anything scraping their bottom, oh er, and then give the thumbs up that all is well - bl**dy good effort
It would be interesting to see the specs of the Tug boats. Thanks for the updates
I think he did do a video on that.
The ship we have stuck in port requires a minimum draft of 42 feet. So it's going to be docked a few more weeks
Probably longer than that.
How are they picking which ships can go though? There are so many waiting with a draft that would fit.
The ships wanting to leave have notified the Harbor Master who prioritizes them. It has NOT been an issue so far.
The 5 that were stuck since the incident that could and wanted to depart have left. There's been several arrivals since that will most likely be leaving before the closure on Monday/Tuesday so salvage work can continue
The draft of the vessel under way has to be under 35 feet.
@@JoeLinux2000that, width, height and displacement. Can technically have a ship that is under the draft limit and width but over the displacement
@@JamesTK I wouldn't think so. Displacement refers to the weight of the water displaced. A nuclear submarine could probably meet your criteria.
What is the tower smoking/steaming in the background at the beginning of your video?
Brandon Shores Power Generating Station
Do you have any idea when the Dali will be unloaded?? Will be a major undertaking!!!
When will the cruise ships b3 let into and out of the port? It's good to see activity. I hope they find the two missing men. Im looking foreward to seeing the wreckage lifted off the Dali and her out of the channel. Keep us posted Andy. Thanks for your videos.One question, has anyone heard of they're going to use the two segtiknsof the bridge that still stand. Imo it is oeantseem like it would be safe. They don't know how much damage there is.
She's being careful to be sure.
Whoever has a tug contract at port of Baltimore should be in a major acquisition phase.
Are these transiting ships under their own power, in addition to the tugs?
So the ship is under its own power but being escorted by the tugs…..it looked like the front tow cable was not under direct pulling stress
I have 2 questions. Are the ships being escorted under their own power and just being guided by the tugs? It seems to me that if one of those ships lost power like the Dali it would take more than 2 tugs to keep it from smashing into something important. The second question has to do with money. Do you know who is rotting the bill for the tug escorts? Thanks for the video.
The tugs would push on the bow or stern. and get it heading in a safe direction, at least in most cases. I believe the Dali was moving at 10 knots. which is pretty fast, actually stopping it may have been an impossibility. You can only hope to steer it (guide it)
Why does the lead tug travel in reverse?
Any idea what is in the tall building in the background that has steam coming out of it?
Power generation plant
It's part of the Brandon Shores Power Plant
@@rona4960there are actually TWO power generating plants almost side by side: Herb Wagner and Brandon Shores. The Shores plant is the newer of the two
ALSO that tanker is not fully loaded, the nose bulb is above water so it’s draft could have been much lower if it was fully loaded
Thats a small ship compared to what we handle on the Miss River.
Good works, let Baltimore port re-open.
That's the plan!
Surprises me I live in the state I'm glad
4:59 - Massive fendering around the high tension towers.
None around the bridge piers.
Has there been any info on remaining two workers missing? 🙏🙏
No info. They will be starting salvage again once the limited access channel closes Monday/Tuesday so more searches can be done then
Only the crabs know.
@@JoeLinux2000 How heartless.
@@JamesTK Thank you.
@@patriciapierce1744 Factual. I'm told. I think there's a reason they remain "missing".
Such a massive disaster. When mentioning draft are they loaded or empty?
It seems the ships are not full loaded or ballasted.
When will cruise ships be able to get through?
When the channel is wide and deep enough. They have to move the collapsed bridge off the Dali first.
Is this ship under its own power, just being guided by the tugs?
Some of both
What can the tugs do to help?
The tugs on the Dali are to prevent the stern from moving. The tugs on the ship are directing them through the channel as it's narrower than normal
Q/ why is the front tug in reverse?
The main winch is on the bow, and this also allows the operator of the tug to keep an eye on the ship under tow. They get directions from the pilot onboard, and have other crew members to keep an eye on the direction of travel
@@JamesTK There are different types of tugs. Harbor tugs and ocean going tugs. Ocean going hitch from the stern. I didn't know that harbor tugs winch from the bow, but it makes sense, because they mostly push. In Honolulu when they bring the Inter Island barges into Honolulu Harbor, the larger ocean going tug switches the barge off to a smaller harbor tug. It's quite a rodeo.
Was the passage of this ship a political decision? And if yes was it Federal or state driven?
What ship are you asking about?
hi there. why leading tug going backwards please. caroline
In my opinion it's because they want it to be in the proper position to start pushing the ship around if necessary. The two tugs aren't doing any work. The main ship is under it's own power, and the tow cables or hawsers are slack. The bow tug is just backing out with a watchful eye in front of the ship. The stern tug is doing the same, but is oriented seemingly more correctly. The front tug is able to spring into action quickly. For example it could move to either side of the bow and push the bow toward a safe direction. The second tug could also move into position. The crews of the tugs are like rodeo cowboys roping a big steer. They are highly skilled at moving the big stuff around inside the harbor.
thanks. caroline
This tanker seems to be underladen . . . the bulbous bow is nearly above the water.
It's definitely high in the water. More of a proof of concept in my mind, to show the public progress is being made. But other ships are moving through, so it's a good sign.
So, when are they gonna deal with the rest of the Dali and get that thing out of there and all that metal?
Working to it. They have to clear enough out of the way to gain access to the bow area of the Dali.
It's takes time. They are cutting and moving 500 ton pieces, and it's slow difficult work that is quite hazardous, because when you cut off a big piece the rest can become unstable. No one can say for sure how things might shift. It's better to take smaller bites were things can be somewhat more predictable. Heavy iron work tends to always be risky.
Hopefully they can use those approaches for the new bridge.
I'm hoping they can figure out some sort of lighter temporary ABC bridge span that could carry at least some lighter vehicle traffic. They are fabricating some pretty amazing steel arches in sections that might be able to span it. The question is how to erect it. An arch can carry more weight because the loads are more compressive.
Thinking about my arch idea: The approachment piers were designed for the truss, and the forces were more directly downward. Arches generally terminate in buttresses. If they can erect something temporary the engineers will need to be creative and skilled.
Thinking some more, the approaches did not support the main truss. There where shorter and smaller approach trusses. Therefore, maybe a series of three arches is possible. Two approach arches and a larger center arch with a smaller two lane roadway passing through the center of the three arches.
Ultimately I believe the replacement will be more like the Gordie Howe bridge in Detroit.
ruclips.net/video/Iy_F605Id-0/видео.html
@@JoeLinux2000 we'll probably get an idea of the design they're going for in a few months. Read they've already put it out for tender. I'd imagine something like a cable stayed bridge with both piers on land, which wouldn't use the current approaches, however would provide sufficient clearance to reduce the likelihood of this kind of incident occuring again
@@JamesTK I agree with you that what you envision will be the final solution. I'm just hoping a more expedient temporary solution might be devised. Just engineering a large cable stay bridge will take years of calculations. It's not something you can buy off the shelf. As I mentioned there are some pretty creative steel arch bridges being constructed, but more for pedestrians.
ruclips.net/video/YLPY2L_IRWE/видео.html
It's great to see some traffic getting through. Why haven't they continued to get the Dali unloaded and moved from the channel? Crime scene? True to their word they would reestablish a lane for commerce before the end of the month. Hat's off to all those involved to restore order.
It's difficult to off load it where its sitting. They only need to off load enough containers to be able to safely clear the fallen bridge from the bow. Once they move the Dali to a proper wharf, they will be able to off load the containers expeditiously. The ship will need patches to the bow before it is sent to wherever it can be properly repaired It will probably leave Baltimore mostly empty. Maybe it will carry a load of empty containers.
Some of the shipyards in Asia can cut out the damaged sections and fabricate replacement sections which are then welded in. It's quite amazing.
@@JoeLinux2000 will most likely go back to Seagirt to unload and continue on until repairs can be made. There's the chance that it might be kept from departing depending on how legal action goes too, will see when it comes to it
@@JamesTK The bow is too badly damaged to continue on without some type patches that are strong enough to withstand the sea. The ship is clearly unsafe for open ocean travel.
Who pays for tugs to move/assist ships in the harbor are like this ?
The ship typically pays for assistance from tugboats
@@straybullitt The ship pays for it. The ship charges the shippers using the ship. (There can be a few more steps in this ladder.) The shippers charge the wholesalers. (There can be a few more steps in this ladder.) The wholesalers charge the retailers. (There can be a few more steps in this ladder.) The retailers charge us schmucks (there can be a whole lot of retailers charging a really big number of schmucks) buying the stuff. So we call it "INFLATION" as it DEFLATES our bank account. We are the little guy at the end of the line and get ......************ed. I understand it. I support using the tugs around any "Potential Critical Failure Bridge" That doesn't mean I like paying for tugs at several thousand dollars per hour per tug that gets netted down to my small package of 6 screws.
@@larrylawson5172 Yes the ship moving out or in now requires 2 tug boats !! At this point this is an added cost to move your ship & it also would be added to the lawsuit fo payment ?? That payment likely would be certainly be months or even years in being paid ?? So today you will pay & then join the debt list !!
@@larrylawson5172 The cost of the tugs is offset by the massive amount of cargo being moved. Each container is most likely very valuable.
Thanks guys
Can the military ships that have been stuck inside move out of this temp channel?
Depends on their draft.
Baltimore is the home port for the ready reserve naval vessels and they might not have a reason to leave
@@JamesTK but would be good to know that they could if need be.
@@patricialee4611 marinetraffic and vesselfinder are invaluable in finding out specs of ships in the harbour. I think the ready reserve would be able to fit through the channel if needed
@@patricialee4611 The limiting factor at the moment is their draft.
NOW they are "taking precautions". Before, a HUGE ship, leaving without tugs, in the dark, ... THAT HAD KNOWN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ...
But that's how we do it. Somebody finally dies at a dangerous intersection and the highway department makes changes ...
Irini is greek for peace. Apparently greek owned.
hi andy
Hey Greg
Le parti del ponte, rimaste al loro posto, che fine faranno
They will be scrapped and recycled
Better effing be a fuel tanker. TIRED of #FJB's inflated gas prices with this incident on top of it. 3.80 is the last price.
Unfortunately that's a pretty small tanker. It may have a cargo of cooking oil or something else liquid.
Why in the world do people continue to use the measurement "knots". Using knots instead of miles makes absolutely no sense. Let's all get rid of "knots" ASAP.
Whoa cowboy! You do that and the entire global positioning system of the world gets thrown out with the bath water!
Sounds good on having some rules. Like know the currents, tug escorts, daytime arrivals and departures. Hey, common sense. Only a $5 billion dollar cluster to wake up
There needs to be new slow rules ,speed of these 500.000 ton ships minimum, and there should ,,, have to have tugs all the way around them come on people get your heads out of your butts,,,, people, thanks, p.s. it’s good to see ships coming back ,but they should never ever be with out tugs, and this tanker is going way to fast, way way to fast, ,,,if the whole this stopped powering,we would have a second disaster, .)
If pirates can take over ships then should we not be aware that terrorist can hijack ships to wreck bridges.
It's distinctly possible. Allegedly the FBI is investigating, but they have been known to cover up crimes such as the Kennedy assassination, and others like MLK.
Terrorists would be during an rush hour without a Mayday warning.
Oh now they have the tugboats, but the bridge is already gone “ain’t that a little bit too late 😜that’s what you call harbor pilots corruption🕵️♀️🇺🇸
The collapsed bridge is not completely removed....This is a reduced depth channel that has been cleared for certain depth ships only.... It will be years before this whole channel is fully open & a new bridge built (possibly 5 years is what has been said)... NOTE BOATS ARE LEAVING ONLY & NOT COMING INTO PORT !!!
@@1947maco "NOTE BOATS ARE LEAVING ONLY & NOT COMING INTO PORT." Yeah? What's that video you just watched, ye dullard?
@@1947macochannel will be fully open to 50ft depth end of May. Bridge will be much longer. Also the limited access part closes Monday or Tuesday depending on weather before then. And there have been SEVERAL arrivals into port already and this video has just one of them
@@1947maco The tanker was entering.
