Love how they time traveled between the ice breaker broken down to suddenly they’re together and in thinner ice.
For real I was like damn so we just skipping problems now like that huh 😂
50 years of victory > literally every other ice breaker.
I love how these documentaries make a completely normal everyday action seem like an unprecedented event that none of the people were ever prepared for or imagined.
This is everyday operations for this Icebreaker, it's made out to be such a drama. That's how they are designed and built.
At age 18, I was doing this work on USCGC Westwind in the Baffin Bay and Davis Strait
@@jjosephm7539 uh good for you? I dont really know what kind of response you were expecting but ok.
I know right. The captain is so unfazed/ almost bored. At least it makes a funny contrast with the over the top music.
Jesus this guy can has a phd in drama
Why don't they just build the ferry to have ice breaking capabilities then
Don’t get me wrong this is really cool but they over dramatize everything
90% (possibly all of them) documentary that i've watched is overly dramatized
Because it isn't a Russian nuclear powered icebreaker.

I kinda like overdramatized documentaries
Agree
AND I LOVE IT! If they didn't it would be kinda boring. Like oh a ice breaker breaks ice.. Whoopty Doo Bazzle 😂
The ferry was built for service in the Baltic as Aurella in 1973 and is heavily ice strengthened, it was at no point in danger of sinking. It has 21,000 BHP main engines, so it has plenty of power to cope with quite bad conditions by itself. This is not to belittle the skill and effort of the icebreaker crew, but the narrative is just pure sensationalism.
They forgot the fact that the Vacancier is built with the highest ice class. She was originally built as m/s Aurella for Viking Line in Scandinavia and the winters can be nasty in the baltic sea so she is basically a small ice breaker. Not in the same extent as a real icebreaker but she can handle icy winters.
2nd highest in the finnish-swedisc class. It´s 1A so approx 1m of ice.
I was on the Louis St Laurent over 40 years ago when I was in the Coast Guard. It wasn't new then. It was an amazing piece of technology back then. It is remarkable this ship is still working hard.
We really need new polar ice-breakers. The Louis St-laurent will be 60 in 2029.
@@shinogaming4978no worries it’s all melting

@@OUTERGALACTICFROGGY just because the world makes money off of everything, doesn’t mean things aren’t happening with the climate.
I love these ice breakers. They truly are unsung hero's
Quest TV: This monster hull allows ice king to go where no other ship dares to venture!!!1
Russian nuclear icebreakers: Hold my vodka blyat.
Antarctica.. you will never see a Russian nuclear ice breaker there. They can't cross the tropics, it's too hot and the reactors will over heat.
@@dundonrl if u see Russian icebreaker, u'll never be the same as before
@Walker They are designed differently than nuclear icebreakers.
Built entirely for service in the Arctic seas, the Yamal is unable to voyage to the Antarctic because of her cooling system. This requires that it be supplied with cold sea water to operate properly, if the ship were to voyage to Antarctica it would have to cross the equator and sail through the tropics where the water is most definitely warm. Hence the Yamal and her sister ships are confined to the Northern polar region.

Who else detects saulty and jealous yankee here?))
I’m Canadian, but I’ve grown up and spent my whole life in Toronto, which is practically tropical compared to the northern part of our country, LOL! Because we’re on the shores of Lake Ontario I’ve never seen an icebreaker, until I went to Quebec city last summer. The video doesn’t do it justice, There were two icebreakers there, both the same size, their freaking huge! From the video it just looks like a little ship, but close up, it’s basically the size of a cruise ship, I even got to go on board, And I have to say I was really impressed with all the modern technology. It’s amazing what these ships can do, the captain said he’s been through ice that’s over 15 feet thick, and when you go inside the ship you can see the bow, made out of solid steel, But it still amazes me it’s able to crush through that much ice. We don’t get a lot of ice in Toronto, because we’re quite far south, I’m a bad Canadian, I hate the cold and I hate snow, I don’t know how people can live in those environments, but I bet they’re glad to have that ship, It really was impressive, and I just got lucky because I asked someone standing at the dock if they do tours, and I was actually talking to the captain without knowing it, who graciously took us on a person we got a tour of the entire ship, but they never do tours for most of the public, I got lucky I guess. He told me that in the summertime, they dock the ships, and fix them up, replace whatever needs to be replaced, painted, upgraded technology, etc. He said it was an exciting job, but working three days straight without a break, no thank you!
They cut a lot out of this vid. It went from the ice breaker not being able to reach the ferry, to the ice breaker being in front of the ferry instantly without explanation.
I don’t for one second believe this is anything more than a normal day for the crew the video makes it seem like it’s the ultimate worst scenario.
It’s a ferry, not a cruise ship.
andy chauhan I’m far from a professor, I’m just someone who believes that if you talk about something in such a dramatic, authoritative voice, you should know what the fuck you’re talking about and get the facts straight.
Man havent you ever called a thumb a finger? Chill out
Boat Axe ok, just relax there buddy we get your point.
Okay...
@@jerrydurantiii3360 that's like calling you picky your thumb
This was ten time more dramatic than it needed to be I'm currently working on the Louis S. St-Laurent and nobody on the ship has ever called her ice King or decide we are wagering war on the ice lol escorts like this happen on a daily basis sometimes up to five or six a day no biggie
Titanic : Can’t survive one iceberg
Tiny Boat : Crushes ice
Hi It’s Ava owo ikr
Yep titanic was bigger and stronger
Yeah, but iceberg is very different than ice sheets on the water.
I live on the shore of the fleuve St-Laurent. Those ice breakers and their captains, are impressive.
LOL 4:45 ice king stuck, next second video skips way ahead and it has already saved the ferry. Crappy editing.
Was just about to write the same! LOL
Yeah. They suck
You’re right. So what did they do to save the disabled ferry? Lol
Amen to that. Rediculous
Hey how the assholes who sail thru there idiots 🖕🏽Fuckkkk this video
After watching 75,000 hp nuclear ice breaker
This seems to be a cruise ship
Ikr
This was not a rescue. It is normal maintenance of a ship channel. The ferry operates 3 days a week all winter. The trip takes 5 hours.
“The frozen arctic sea”. Near Prince Edward Island!! 🤣
When people are willing to risk their lives to save others, that makes them the real heroes.
ive been on that ferry its pretty fun its like a 5 hour trip but it was in the fall so nothing frozen yet
Why does my ice taste like water
THE RUSSIANS LAUGH WHEN YOU CALL THIS SHIP A MONSTER.
For a coastguard it's one of the biggest; for an icebraker she isnt, but anyway there's not many ships that carry both functionality
Russian ship would break down and sink
I’ve been on the Louis St Laurent, 40 years ago. Very cool. I can’t believe that it is still in service.
Nice, how was it like?
I was an Officer Cadet in the Coast Guard. I was fascinated by the technology.
One of the technologies on the Louis that were not highlighted here is the roll. Often the problem is not the thickness of the ice in front, rather it is the pressure and friction of the ice on the sides. A current or wind can put enough pressure on the sides to bring it to a halt. In this case an alarm is sounded and from huge water tanks water is pumped from one side to the other causing the ship to roll from side to side breaking the ice and relieving the pressure. The stern is also equipped with large metal spurs under water so that if the ship is force to rock forward and aft the rudder and screws are protected. Breaking off a blade of the propeller can through it so out of balance that it is useless.
This must be old because there is no sea ice left . I know this because Al Gore and that Science Guy told me so .
Honestly. I think all that Ice is beautiful.
Look at it. All the clean surfaces.
🇨🇦🇨🇦just an average day for Canadian heros!
Is your icebreaker stuck in the ice? Better call the Russians!
Inquisitor Eisenporn lol
Their icebreaker also powered by nuclear
@@desakputurakaparamita954 The only country constructing nuclear-powered icebreakers is Russia.(c) Wikipedia
Russians are bit away. And nuclear icebreaker is an expensive toy. It will e cheaper to sink the ferry and pay insurance than to call Russians.
nope, call Finns! :D
the Russian ice breaker ships would of separated land if it was in front of it.

That’s a 1 Long 2 short horn blast better known on the Great Lakes as a Captain’s Salute
Video editor: "let's take a rescue video, remove the most interesting parts, show the most boring parts but let juuuuust enough through to let viewers know there were far more interesting parts they missed, then narrate it with a "severe dramatic voice" and put a wildly dramatic title on it!"
Evil Producer: Yeeeezz yeeezz! Zees eees a VONDERFUL ideeez! Do eeeeet! Ve vill make beeegest cleeeck bait veeeedeo eevar!"
While I do enjoy seeing life on a heavy ice breaker and I agree that it’s work is very dangerous and important, this video totally over dramatized a day in the life of this vessel, not to mention it appears a whole segment or two are missing from the middle (not that I think the story merits being even longer in duration, just better edited).
gotta love the comment "frozen ice", is there another kind?
It’s hilarious how they speak like the ferry is sinking fast and the icebreaker is their only hope of survival.
So much drama music and drama explanation for a winter daily routine in the Golf of St-Lawrence.
Was the first thing I though 15 seconds into the video - so unnecessary
I am in Saskatchewan, Canada. Some of our rivers become roads in the winter. There is no global warming here. Even our summers are becoming cooler, which is great because I hate heat. But retarded Prime Minister Trudeau still wants to pass a bunch of emission taxes to end global warming, like a tax ever did anything. But we do not need winters to get any colder than what they have been. There are several ice roads spread throughout Canada.
Dude i know how to play gulf
@@indridcold8433 climate change is happening, its getting warmer globally but in some parts it's getting colder or more temperate
@@indridcold8433 that's not how global warming works dude. global warming is happening , many places are seeing rising water levels and too many hurricane and cyclones than ever before. you're talking about weather ,it's not same .
Normal day in winter here in Norway, but on the roads. :P

@@brovsbro45 Haha ja ikke sant

Canada has never had a cruiser since World War Two. It was a small CRUISE ship, that started to sink and everyone got off it safely.
A drone would be perfect here for an overview of the area and pockets of water to strategize where to go .
You guys of the sea are legends, I salute you.
Thanks for posting this video!!!
Ice: we will sink you
Ice breaker: KOWABUNGA IT IS?!
I love Ice Breakers
Thank God for icebreakers. Great job everyone
Russian nuclear icebreaker: P A T H E T I C
Cool! Proud of Canada!
I see "Ice King" sailing through alot of open water and thin ice.
Everything's an icebreaker if you're brave enough!
Good luck using an inflatable kyack
I worked on F/T Endurance in the Bering Sea fishing polluck / roe and we went through ice all the time, no big deal. Once we had to have an icebreaker come out because we got in too thick to turn around, but we had a double haul.
Watching this video it make me glad that I live in a tropical place with island and beaches. We are not rich but we're happy
I wish we could trade countries, i live in the netherlands where it always rains and when the summer is here it only be 2 days and then it is again cold weather
I'll take either or I live on the island where this ferry sailed to lol
A good captain on a powerful ship,,is a good quarter back on a good team.
nice to see back home
lol, where exactly does this "ice machine" dispense from? Where do I put my glass?
monster ice machine? oh you mean an everyday ice breaker..;
I think working on one of these ships in Canada would be the Coolest (Exciting) job ever!
Canada 🇨🇦😳❤️
Looks like they would build a ferry with it's own capability of breaking the ice too
I need this to get into my room .
just push all the crap out of the way
Ice breakers work by pushing up the hull and smashing everything below I don't think you want somthing like that
Oh my goodness! How dramatic and scareeeeeee! The children!!
Awesome video ❤
Ive worked on a ice breaker. These overexaggerated dilemmas are just ridiculus
Amazing
Nice video. Thanks!
Well it looks like 30,000hp isn’t enough for the thick ice. Gotta push it up to 80,000 I guess 😂
Joshua Bonty He said 13,000hp not 30,000hp
BuBi I heard 30000
I heard 30
Did it skip a segment?
At 2:12 it just changed colors for a split second, i thought it was a subliminal message but it wasn't
4:45 it skipped im so lost
It went from heading to the ferry to leading her. He kept saying minus 40 celsius as if that's different from fahrenheit.
@@stevek8829 that's what I thought. Thanks
O they are making this story like a horror movie.im sitting on the edge of my chair waiting if they make it or not .
What a old museum ship Hahahahaha. Teknik from 1960
Piece of cake when you good good equipment
Terrifying frozen landmass huh... What exactly is a terrifying frozen landmass?
So the answer to the title is YES. Just saved everyone 8 minutes...
Great vedio
sailed on her in the 70s living below like living in a underground railway ...
HOW did ice king get out of being stuck ? this is a rickety video
Boat: Breaks Ice to save Cruise Ship*
Ice: Am I a joke to you?
I love Canada
Great owesome help
The most smallest monster boats called little Bonner ice breaker are made by Iranian revolutionary Guards, It is a constant battle for them in Persian Gulf to keep the Strait of Hormuz open from icebergs for oil tankers and others to cross. These little things use only home made %20 yellow cake all are made in natanz. God Bless Pashm-ha
Lol these guys haven’t heard of the Russian icebreakers lol
Nobody cares , go invade something
Russia should invade the whole world get respect for wat they invented then withdraw
Great story. Those nations on the northern ice pack--Canada, U.S., Russia, Iceland, Norway, Finland and possibly Sweden, should consider teaming to build great ice breakers and establish rescue services. Not long ago, for example, an American ice breaker opened a path for a Russian fuel tanker to get to Nome, Alaska, and save the town's folk from freezing. It was a great story of teamwork in horrible, icy conditions.
Beautiful ideas nice photographer
What a rip-off. NONE of the rescue is shown.
What a rip off the most exciting part of a TV show isnt pirated and uploaded on RUclips with no permission for free
We don’t want to loose the ice we want to be saving it 😂😂
It’s is king but they call it she:
Why
Thats how we call ships in english. With a '' she'', not an ''it''.
no one that has worked on that vessel, or with the vessel, or near the vessel, has ever called it "ice king", that would be insulting, everyone just calls it the Louis, I know I've worked on it, its cringe worthy to hear it called ice king.
Super cool video
That is so over the top dramatic. Couldn't continue watching. This was just a "normal" icebreaking job, which would have been interesting enough but NO it needs to be a rescue mission!
M.O. of every TV show these days. Overdramatize everything. That's why I ditched TV over ten years ago.

Could have at least included ramming ofsome 10+ meter thick pressure ridge.
But guess that would have given filming crew heart attack...
Nice recommendations
But Al Gore said there would be no ice...
Al Gore is a crappy environmental predictor.
The frozen sea looks so cool!!!
But it's very dangerous, don't go "swimming" in this... Ice skating.... Not to sure •-•
Well damn,,I was waiting for a giant genius octopus,lol
Would have been nice to see how the Ice King got unstuck instead of magically arriving on scene to break way for the ferry 🙄
Welcome to another episode of: 'My recommend page'
I don't really mind this kind of recommendation but
If it's fortnite or something else I hate
Huhrg³
The ice king is no king when compared to Abe Froman the sausage king of Chicago
The sailor on the ice breaker has on a short sleeve shirt. He's superhuman.
Definatly warming up there......
5:01 the other ship is following the ice breaker lol.+
God Bless our Canadian Coast Guard! What a magnificent beauty.
As far as I know, Russia has the iceking with more than double of its horsepower plus this candian king got stuck at 4:45 lol
@Al 72 who are you talking too ? Ranting away again ... its called Hp and weight ask me i have knowledge only you can dream about 😨
@Al 72 i deleted due to your comment ... i was embarrassed for you
