Sunny September day at Fraisthorpe East Yorkshire, captured by cheap w/proof camcorder strapped to the top of the mast
l sailed on three ships that had a regular run to Liverpool.. a shell tanker called the Asperella and two VLCC called Megara and Murex also Shell tankers…We had to be lightened first at Point Linas so we could entry the River Mersey… quite exciting steering a 200,000 ton tanker into the river….this would be about 1968 to 1972/3….
@@brianperry The good old days but a bit before my time! I started my pilot apprenticeship in 1977 so still remember the Shell tanks coming to Tranmere
Great vid 👍
I'm in New Brighton, by the marine pool. Those red cranes,I am able to see them right now as I sit in bed! If I'd been where I am n looking out when this ship sailed, I'd have seen it going out!!
I could've waved at you!
Great video. Fab.
Thanks!
So the water inside the dock is always kept at the high tide level of the mersey?
Normally the dock level is maintained at the height of a big spring tide. On a very high tide the river level rises to the same height as the dock level when it is possible to pass through the lock without stopping
Any idea what the cargo Is?
@@michaelsrowland It's grain for Cargill's
@@timnutta when these bulk carriers bring their cargo to liverpool, do they leave empty or is there something they load out of liverpool ?
@@michaelsrowland Generally they leave in ballast but occasionally they get a back cargo of scrap

Well done helmsman.
how to get ads..
That was a quickie docking one man, what`s up with that?
Hi
Hi
Una vista diferente
Thanks for the video! Great job from all involved!
Glad you enjoyed it👍
Fasssin ating.
Bigger better
This is my dream port eversince when i started as a seafarer, i was been in so many port around the world for long 20 yrs. Of working onboardship but never in liverpool even one time.
One day🤞It's a nice city
It's where The Beatles were from
@@michaelsrowland yes sir, that is the reason why i dreaming about port of liverpool, to visit and to take photos as a souvenir, because I'm an avid fan of the BEATLES.
That is some tight quarters to maneuver in. Why is there a lock?
Because The Mersey has a 10m tidal range on spring tides - that's why they built an enclosed dock system. Inside the docks it's permanently High Water 👍
@@timnutta so ships can only leave on a high tide?
@@michaelsrowland Ships can leave at most states of tide depending on their draft and the strength of tide and direction (flood or ebb). The lock will drop them down from dock level to river level
Reminds me of the Belfast Liverpool boats going in through the locks to dock besides the pier head, good vid
Thanks! Ah yes, B&I - remember them well
Tuggy-tug-tug, tuggy-tug-tug!
Very impressive bit of choreography. Makes you realize how skilled the tug boat crew is. They have to work with and react to tides, currents and winds, and work as a team with other tugs and the ship's crew.
They are indeed👍
Liverpool. Nostalgia. 1975 : I was 2nd year ( nautical corps ) cadet of The Indonesian Merchant Marine Academy in training aboard cargo vessel, named MV Twadika. Afternoon, out of port. I asked a Police man, the bus number to down town. He told me the number and asked me, Sight Seeing ? I said, to see gun's shop. He smiled and asked me, to buy gun ? I said just look. He smiled, guns no good youngman, even him no carried gun. 1982 : I was 3rd mate aboard a bulk carrier vessel of 72000 tons of DWT haa ha with 10 hatches. 1986, I joined The Indonesian National Army ( Navy ) and many years carried gun, haa ha How about your famous football team, Liverpool ? Nice place mr mayor. Good luck.
Great vid - Gap a bit tight!!
Not too tight, the first passageway is 55m and the lock is 39m wide
When ever i watch these time lapse time videos the tugs always remind me of honey bees ...bizzy bizzy...all attentive too the Queen B ..the ship ha ha.
Well Done! enjoyed that.
Thanks👍
What ship would want to go to Liverpool having to manoeuvre like that through 2 narrow locks?
Not many go by choice - fortunately for Liverpool, geographical location trumps ease of access
@@timnutta geographical location? What do you mean,? anything arriving at Liverpool port then has to be transported out by lorry to somewhere. The road network is bad and overcrowded. I would build a new deep water port somewhere else
@@michaelsrowland ACL, MSC, Cargills, EMR, Normac, P&O, Drax etc may disagree with you
@@timnutta who are normac?
A big salute to pilots for such tremendous job
Thankyou! We are lucky to have great tugs to assist us
If it's possible some same like this one of CHEMICAL tanker
Sorry, I've retired now but I'm sure one of my ex-colleagues could oblige
Great footage, more please .
Good job pilot!
Ta la
Great video, you'll have to let us know next time so I can put my makeup on!
🤣
Pleased you didn’t publish the strap on version....
If you'd posted that anonymously I'd still have known who you were🤦🏻♂️
Tim Nuttall 😂😂
Love this with the little tugs racing around. Great Video
Great video .
Now that's precision manoeuvring! Nice video.
nice! and great music selection.
Thanks!
Great stuff! Heard this years ago and always wanted to play it. Maybe now I'll learn! :O)
