I can remember being her with my husband when the ships docked. He loved to watch them. He died 5 years ago, so thank you for the memories. I have never witnessed a Greek ferry make a mistake. I know they have..like they all have...but I'll stick with my happy memories.
I don't understand what everyone is expecting from this video. I see a perfectly executed docking procedure of a ship I really miss. Thanks to the uploader for uploading this video.
Agreed. Too many feeble minded viewers expecting a crash, even though the title is quite clear. RUclips is much more than vehicles crashing. I've been on this ferry and it brought back good memories for me.
Peter Sawyer Exactly, the title was perfectly clear, it's showing a docking procedure (and there are lots of videos on RUclips with ships docking without an accident). I've been on that ship (as well as its sister ship) lots of times and I fondly remember watching them dock from the decks.
Man i am come a bit later on this comments :D in my opinion this video just gimme statisfaction just like how other people statisfied if some crash happened.
minoan lines exist from 1972 connecting Pireaus with greek islands(specially creta) and also Greece with Italy...Its captains are the most experienced and this ferry line has been awarded a lot times for the best - safe-quality trips and services from european and worldwide awards for the meditteranean sea cruise services!!
It's called a "Mediterranean Moor" when they tie up to a pier from the aft end. Usually ships like this will also use a secondary anchor at the bottom of the ship (vice the bow) and it probably uses azipods for directional control.
So? These Greek ferry skippers know what they’re doing. I’ve watched them come into the bay in Skopelos, toss their anchor, turn 180 degrees on that anchor chain and back onto the pier in matter of minutes. Elegant and efficient!
When I posted this video there was no intention to make any statement about safety or whether it was dangerous. All I wanted to show was an interesting docking maneuver. I am surprised about the controversy it apparently created. Very interesting
For all their irrelevants to ask why this video has so many millions of viewers I have to say it. First, why the title begins from Corfu (tourist destination), second because millions of people have great love for ships and the third that the approach of a ship in a port differs from place to place. Thanks for sharing Harry!
@hbarkan Usually people don´t understand meaning of haste when commenting. If crew doesn´t put rails up before landing to pier passengers will drop to ocean. There was accident in northern europe where passengers were in hurry and walking tunnel was 5 meters away when ships doors opened, there were about 10 people who dropped to pier. Luckily no one died. and after that accident protocol was chanced that door are closed untill walking tunnel is connected.
Μα εκεί είναι όλοι βλάκες εδώ είναι Ελλάδα,που σας δώσαμε τον πολιτισμό μας σας μάθαμε γράμματα σας μάθαμε την επιστημονική ενοια και θέλετε να κάνετε και τους έξυπνους.
As someone who has experienced a Corfu ferry docking, I approve this video. Best wishes to the good fold of Corfu, to the memory of _My Family and other Animals_ by Gerald Durell, and to all seafolk everywhere, cheers from cool Vienna, Scott
@vascocourtney Err yes you do.Besides the only way this ship can be compromised with the current weather and wind conditions is if it was rammed by a similar sized ship. And i cant see any incoming. The Zebrugge ferry only capsised as the bow wave grew to a big enough height and entered the deck, with the doors open, thus destabilising the ship due to weight of water. That is simply not going to happen in this case.
I love the fact that, at the time of watching, almost 6.8 million people have seen this video. Doncha just love the Internet? ;-) Fab island, cute video - hope they let the dog on
I have to say the Greek ferries are some of the best in the world. And I'm Dutch and have no connection to Greece except having been there on holidays. I have been on many other ferries in Canada, US, UK, Scandinavia, Caribean and NZ, so I have quite a bit of comparison.
That's impressive. I would have thought that the stern of the ship would have bumped the dock, but no. I'll have to see if I can catch a ride on that ship.
These ships for many years doing the route Greece-Italy and never heard anything bad. So, depending on passenger ships other European countries the accidents was zero. I do not understand the negative comments.
3:19 I'm surprised they stand so close to that pinch/crush point. IF there were to slip while that thing was bouncing and any part of their body fell in there it probably not end well.
that's funny. Because in my mind, if you work at sea, you will ALWAYS be exposed to dangerous working conditions. and much more dangerous conditions than standing at the end of a boom at that too.
Funny how there's always one member of the crew on the ramp who thinks he doesn't need a life vest? and he's probably the one who would sack the others if they didn't have theirs on!
you are correct. Greece has so many islands and coasts (actually Greece has a longer coastline than the whole Africa), that it is only natural for Greeks to have a big naval history
^^... I thought to find a dramatic video about a crash docking, with screaming men, women, children and old in water, gasoline in fire, huge waves, helicopters, firefighters, coast guard, army, air force, with bad weather with bolts and lightnings, while a giant squid winds slimy tentacles around ferry and docks.I was wrong.
Because it's docking?And for a ship to be named H/S/F(Highspeed ferry)it should be able to get a speed of up to 27 knots.The Palaces can get to 33 knots in max.
Like the other three million viewers, I was waiting for something to go wrong... Of course, no such claims were made in the title so why should I be disappointed?
3:07.... the ramp almost gets stuck in the concrete stairs... little bit faster and bye bye ramp. Cant people wait????? the docking is not finished and they are rushing in and out of the ship. In Mexico that is impossible to do.. the safety protocols are so tight your not even able to be that close to the ship while maneuvering.
@vascocourtney Actually I can remember Viking and Silja Line ships arriving harbor the visor up or ramps down during the 70's. It might have been as late as during the 80's when I was as kid with my bicycle on the car deck waiting for arrival in Turku or Mariehamn. Here I can see a risk of crashing the ramps or a deckhand falling to the sea and in the worst case getting sucked to the propellers. Time is money for shipowners but able seamen are expensive, too....
importedmusic MrWhizNutz Same for me. But go back and take a look at the video thumbnail : If you look at it quickly, you can see a big fat ferry going backwards and pushing a small boat to crush it on the dock. :)
Likewise; I just enjoyed watching the thing work properly, even if it looks a bit unconventional compared with what I'm used to. As for people thinking it's slow...
was für ein wahnsinnig spannendes Video. Ich werde morgen mal filmen, wie ich meine Socken anziehe und das dann hier reinstellen. Das ist mindestens genauso spannend...
Some people have never seen a ferry like this dock. its informational. as for All you "thrill seekers" you should stop trying to satisfy your thrill-tainted minds and go learn something, instead of expecting crashes and explosions and things going wrong. I thought it was a cool massive boat doing an un-orthodox docking procedure.
i am greek...from crete island....some people saw first time sea on their holiday in greece....i donot surpice of thiw video but from your cooments about life jucket of the crew!!!
saya selalu berharap ada kapal besar dengan kecepatan tinggi berlayar dari merak ke bakauheni, atau dari satu pulau ke pulau lainnya, supaya bisa menjelajah indahnya negeriku
I love the Greeks , they are so FUCKING COOL Nothing troubles them so laid back people ;) Gonna retire there one day............................... "Yamas"
@Danellisz if he doesnt open the doors......the captain cannot calculate the distance from the dock!!!!!he did it properly!!!!!you cannot open and close the catapult every time you fail of the distance .....fuel are costly!!!!and the guys that walking on to the catapult ,are sailors and prepared the ship for fast docking....time is money for companies!!!they are not passengers to the doors,they are workers!!!In greece cause of many island ,there are hundrends routes to accomplish by ships......
@vascocourtney I have seen landing ramps, but I thought it was only made for high speed craft. But do not expect security level in the third world. If you look at how they park their cars in a smaller ship would go crazy mirror to mirror. And the rule says that "should leave space for wheeled fire extinguisher." But you can say: here is Greece !!!!!!!!!!!
Giannis3302 I am a bed ridden oldman with one leg so thanks for that. Anyway is it not true that infact they are both brother countries of lady poverty and that the fact that so many Greeks took so many back handers that it greatly contributed to there downfall.
I can remember being her with my husband when the ships docked. He loved to watch them. He died 5 years ago, so thank you for the memories. I have never witnessed a Greek ferry make a mistake. I know they have..like they all have...but I'll stick with my happy memories.

You two please kindly read my comment above! The mooring men are doing wrong!
Man i am come a bit later on this comments :D in my opinion this video just gimme statisfaction just like how other people statisfied if some crash happened.
just the type of good old youtube videos, a short title with a short compact video

As someone who has experienced a Corfu ferry docking, I approve this video.
Best wishes to the good fold of Corfu, to the memory of _My Family and other Animals_ by Gerald Durell, and to all seafolk everywhere, cheers from cool Vienna, Scott
Scott Thank
you for your comment
Oh this is bringing up memories of my vocation at Corfu what a great time it was!
Great video. I've seen canal longboats here in the uk held fast by ropes. This ship is a lot bigger! Well done to the well trained crew!
Narrowboats, not longboats - they were used by the Vikings.
I read the comments... and STILL watched it... how sad !?
@vascocourtney Err yes you do.Besides the only way this ship can be compromised with the current weather and wind conditions is if it was rammed by a similar sized ship. And i cant see any incoming. The Zebrugge ferry only capsised as the bow wave grew to a big enough height and entered the deck, with the doors open, thus destabilising the ship due to weight of water. That is simply not going to happen in this case.
best bit is 1:20 when the man tosses a rope. Forget all the GPS, sat nav, etc., it's all down to throwing ropes!
Nice calm sea. What's it like on a bad day?
I love the fact that, at the time of watching, almost 6.8 million people have seen this video. Doncha just love the Internet? ;-) Fab island, cute video - hope they let the dog on

im planing to visit cofru this summer, how much does the ferry cost
3:19 I'm surprised they stand so close to that pinch/crush point. IF there were to slip while that thing was bouncing and any part of their body fell in there it probably not end well.
If this video was published in 2009, why does it look like a video from 2013?
Γιατί δεν έχει γίνει καμία αλλαγή από τότε,τα ίδια βαρετά πράγματα καράβια πάνε και έρχονται.
this video changed my life
Lol. Im now intrested in ships
Goodness me, what kind of life you were living if a boring video of a routine mooring changed it!
Maloy7800 No offence but what kind of a sense of humor do you have if you can't get a simple joke?

wow, phenomenal, how do they do it?
5.3 million views I was expecting alot more but the title didn't lie.
@vascocourtney If you think this ship is underway you are out of your mind, it is docking
What ferry name
greece is an amazing place
I liked it! That was interesting. Don't get to see things like that where I live.
that's funny. Because in my mind, if you work at sea, you will ALWAYS be exposed to dangerous working conditions. and much more dangerous conditions than standing at the end of a boom at that too.
I didn't realise ferry docking drew such big crowds.
Glad I got to see a safe dockingFINALLY¬ a disaster
@hbarkan what for u need the inspector?? for the docking??
Corfu is an island in Greece.
The process was long but it is good to know ppl take complete safe precations
Funny how there's always one member of the crew on the ramp who thinks he doesn't need a life vest? and he's probably the one who would sack the others if they didn't have theirs on!
The stray dog, hope he finds a home.
you are correct. Greece has so many islands and coasts (actually Greece has a longer coastline than the whole Africa), that it is only natural for Greeks to have a big naval history
In which vessel are you?
In what country is this?
Video taken from Azamara Quest
Wow, that was a action packed slot, I was waiting for something to happen??
It's still getting ppl to do the same 7 years after you saw it.
what for a camera is this?
Don't worry. That boat goes to Venice, Italy.
I still don't get it..what controversy??? I see a normal berthing procedure
^^... I thought to find a dramatic video about a crash docking, with screaming men, women, children and old in water, gasoline in fire, huge waves, helicopters, firefighters, coast guard, army, air force, with bad weather with bolts and lightnings, while a giant squid winds slimy tentacles around ferry and docks.I was wrong.
No accident???

@abdalra7man:شهر رمضان سيكون يوم الجمعه بتاريخ 24/4/2020 قال رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم اذاه ابلغتهم الناس بشهر رمضان حرمت عليكم النار
This ferry is kinda old. It was introduced in 2004.
Because it's docking?And for a ship to be named H/S/F(Highspeed ferry)it should be able to get a speed of up to 27 knots.The Palaces can get to 33 knots in max.
No multi-million dollars terminal needed. Just simple good seamanship and good designed of ship.
Well, I thought is was interesting as I am in a land locked state and don't see ferrys docking every day.
What the hell ?!
I was waiting for something to happen... 3:26 wasted.

Cuerpos pintados
The video has a great quality of image.
SOLAS violated in many ways.Well done MINOAN.....
What's the point of this????
Where is the wrong with this docking?
3:07.... the ramp almost gets stuck in the concrete stairs... little bit faster and bye bye ramp. Cant people wait????? the docking is not finished and they are rushing in and out of the ship. In Mexico that is impossible to do.. the safety protocols are so tight your not even able to be that close to the ship while maneuvering.
I apologise...I was thinking of another docking I watched previously, this one was fine.
@vascocourtney Actually I can remember Viking and Silja Line ships arriving harbor the visor up or ramps down during the 70's. It might have been as late as during the 80's when I was as kid with my bicycle on the car deck waiting for arrival in Turku or Mariehamn.

oh ok...that ferry is cretan and i confused!!!sorry...i didn't know that kerkura is corfu in english,i thought it was kerkura!
Why am I watching this?
Same here it just came up! I thought something exciting would happen but it was literally just docking!
importedmusic MrWhizNutz Same for me. But go back and take a look at the video thumbnail : If you look at it quickly, you can see a big fat ferry going backwards and pushing a small boat to crush it on the dock. :)
kxdser
Who's watching this in 2019. Well, someone had to say it.
yes,sorry i made a mistake because the ship is from my city herakleion of crete!!!
Port?
Likewise; I just enjoyed watching the thing work properly, even if it looks a bit unconventional compared with what I'm used to. As for people thinking it's slow...
The camera was Panasonic Lumix Model: DMC TZ5
That was like watching the paint dry.
Ok bertha I will bless you
Harry bless you for this upload - reading the comments made me laugh out loud. Priceless...:-)
اجمل ايام العمر وأتوقع اني كنت على متن هذه الرحله
Why is this so long?
Ahhhh..Corfu, where the ISPS code is somebody else's problem. Love it! Also where is the dog that catches the mooring lines?
was für ein wahnsinnig spannendes Video. Ich werde morgen mal filmen, wie ich meine Socken anziehe und das dann hier reinstellen. Das ist mindestens genauso spannend...

Imagine what would happen if the hydraulics failed in the ramps while the deck crew is scurrying up and down them before docking?
Woah this ferry is better than ferries in philipines
I actually came to see ferry docking. I am a boring person
It's saturday night and that's what I'm doing...I know that feeling.

Why are the passengers not in a safe zone while the ship berthing........
@vascocourtney I have seen landing ramps, but I thought it was only made for high speed craft. But do not expect security level in the third world. If you look at how they park their cars in a smaller ship would go crazy mirror to mirror. And the rule says that "should leave space for wheeled fire extinguisher."
