    • @S.Kostan_1970
      @S.Kostan_1970 6 місяців тому

      Hello,my friend! Well, usually the anchor chain consists of 13 sections ( we call them "shackles") ,each one of 27m length (or 90 feet). These sections are connected by a specific detachable links. Adjacent chain links to the detachable link are painted white in the following way - connection between 1st and 2nd section is marked by painting white of one adjacent link from each side from detachable link, between 2nd and 3rd section - two adjucent links, between 3rd and 4th - three adjucent links and so on.Connection between 6th and 7th sections is restarted by one adjucent link painting only. So we just need to count the "white links". The approximate required length of the anchor chain in shackles is determined as the square root of the anchorage depth (in meters). For example, if the depth is 36 meters, we would pay out six shackles (or 540 feet) of anchor chain. Have a nice day!

    It’s crazy you are not allowed to throw a cardboard box for a safety drill. It is certainly irrelevant to marine pollution. Each man should have an emergency transmitter fitted, if submerged it automatically transmits to an alarm on the bridge and continues to ping like a submarine thus providing a geolocation range finder via stereo receivers updating coordinates to the man overboard regardless of ongoing wind, waves and current. That is my recommendation.

    • @S.Kostan_1970
      @S.Kostan_1970 7 місяців тому

      Well,ecological restrictions are getting stricter and stricter. Nowadays in case if we have failed to bring the cardboard box back on booard it would be considered as the pollution incident. MARPOL convention only permits the food waste to be thrown overboard and under some specific conditions ( not closer than 12 miles off shore and through the comminuter) Regarding emrgency transmitters - its a good idea, but technically looks very complicated. Its supposed that each crew members must always keep the transmitter attached to his uniform as no one knows when he might fall overboard. Thank you for comment.Good luck!

    Captain, did you ever hear what happened to the master of the Evergiven following that misadventure in the Suez Canal? Seems to me the real fault was the pilots... who were in a heated argument at the time of the accident. But I understand the master is ultimately held accountable if his ship suffers an incident. Great video btw!

    • @S.Kostan_1970
      @S.Kostan_1970 7 місяців тому

      Greetings! Regretfully I didn`t follow the matters regarding the "Ever Given" Captain`s fate. I guess he might still be employed. Companies sometimes keep captains employed after an arguable accidents as the immediate dissmisal might imply full admission of guilt and subsequent higher penalties or compensations. I have looked through the final investigation report issued few months ago. You are absolutely right, there are not so many situations when captain can be fully exonerated after an accident. Assessing that situation I might say that the captain`s biggest mistake was his agreement to pass the Canal under such unfavourable weather conditions. Captain has full overriding authority with regard to any activity of his ship. Of course, there is always commercial pressure on the captain, especially on such a large ship but taking into account ship`s huge profile, wind force and narrow Canal he should reject transit till the weather improved. It`s very difficult to navigate the ship in such challenging conditions. Regarding the Pilots - they are just advisors and have a very limited responsibility in case of accident.

      @askcitizenfitz 7 місяців тому

      @@S.Kostan_1970 I'd think in cases like that one, if the captain balks at something and the company pressures him into doing it, if the ship does subsequently suffer an accident he can at least claim he was pressured into doing it. But I feel for the poor guy. Seems it was a lose-lose situation he was put into. As always, I'm a true fan of your cool channel.

      @@askcitizenfitz Thank you for comment!. Regretfully captain can not justify himself in this case as he has the overriding authority which is the SOLAS Convention requirement - no one may force a captain to do anything he would consider unaccaptable with regard to the safety of the ship). In other words he MUST not follow any orders from any parties (Ship Owner, local Officials, Charterers etc) if he considers that this would compromise safety of his crew and ship. I fully agree with you that sometimes its a big psychological pressure. On some occasions captains, as employees, who afraid of loosing their job, undertake some risk to make compamy happy. Otherwise, if they insist on their position,they shall justify it. To be honest its not the case nowadays for high-standart and well reputated company to press or not to listen to the captain`s point. Evergreen looks a high-standart company with strict adhrence to safety and its hard to assess was it any kind of pressure on captain from them. But anyway captain, as I said before, can not justify himself referring to pressure from "outside".

Enjoy seeing the port activity from the high bridge vantage point, all too often I was 'down in the hole' when entering and departing. Master job of capturing the Dolphins, the joy they must feel playing/surfing with a ship. The ever present flying fish in the South China Sea is what I remember most.

    Thanks for another interesting video on the life of merchant mariners, Skipper. Something I find endlessly fascinating. I pray that the war doesn't come to Odessa - and that you and yours are all well. Long ago, when I was a seaman in the US Navy, one of the guys went overboard while painting the ship's boat. We were cruising back from the Bahamas towards Norfolk, Virginia at the time. The Ship did a Williamson Turn and picked him up, but it took a long time... about ten minutes. He must have been worried at thoughts of sharks and how many thousands of feet it was to the bottom. Later, the skinny got out that he did it to win a $5 bet. I asked him about it. He wouldn't admit it. But he didn't deny it either.
