    12:00 - The damage cavitation does on a propeller depends heavily on the size, rotational speed, and angles of the prop. Tug props are neither optimized for high cruising efficiency, high speed, nor for things like sonar signature. They are built for applying power at lower speeds and thus they really don't operate in the conditions where cavitation causes pitting on the prop. Sure you could push them to the point that it does but you would have to push really hard. On the other hand you wouldn't want to run a tug prop on a trans-oceanic voyage as that prop design would cost you a fortune in fuel. So it's all about trade-offs.

      Thank you very much for watching Nico. All true, but although it's not a transatlantic crossing, we are on a 2000 mile tow to Houston at the moment (and we do indeed burn a lot of fuel). CUOTO

    I loved it when the boss handed over the sea trial and transport and delivery responsibility to me. The bigger the better! He was a first engineer for Exxon
    Mobil and graduated SUNY. Smart man. Worked for him for 25 years. He would throw me head first into projects that blew my mind. Now i can do anything to a boat i want. From fiberglass to fine finish wood work and everything in between. But now im old and dont want to!😂😂😂

    When I back hard with my outboard and the prop cavatates the tachometer goes to the moon. I do realize that it's apples and oranges but it also doesn't back very well.

    Loved the video! Please excuse the nitpicky comment. At 14:19 you mentioned you were "underway" Technically, you were underway as soon as the last line was let loose. Now kiddies, a ship is underway when it is free floating, e.g. not connected to the ground, either via a line to a dock or an anchor. If a ship is free floating and moving under it's own power (via engine or sail) it is considered to be "making way"

    Hi Tim:
    I always enjoy your videos. I see with a large barge like this you always have to antisipate your next move 10 minutes in advance. I do like the chart plotter. However, it is a bit small so it it is hard to see. It is hard to make bigger so maybe just removing it would be OK.
    Keep up the good work.

    Another super video Tim. I was thinking about when you said that you found about 20 degrees of rudder the most effective when steering in reverse with 2 or 3 knots of sternway on is because, just like an airplane wing, once you get more that 15-20 degrees angle of attack, the airflow detaches and you lose lift. (wing is stalled) I have no idea if water behaves the same way as air but I bet it does, Going forward of course you have the prop wash over the rudder so the above doesn't apply.

    I would agree that Japanese crews keep close watch when they know that operations are scheduled. They're a joy to work with. Great team orientation. American ships are a close second for this in my experience. For my part, my old (American) captain made it very clear that anyone who let a tug come alongside unreported was going home at the next port barring having a very good excuse...
    I was a full hour getting the attention of a ship's crew to bunker just a few days ago. It wasn't port state control, they just didn't come because tea was in 20 minutes.
    There's room for a study that could be done on the role of culture on information management and task delegation in command & control management philosophy.

    2nd comment; I really like the chartplotter shot, for what it's worth. Interesting the predictor line had you going straight down the channel even though you were turning. Essentially you were doing a power slide. Also, you mentioned an issue syncing the two cameras. One trick is a clapper, something that gives a visual and audio sync point. If you clap your hands in front of one camera, the other camera will pick up the sound and you can use that to sync the two to the nearest second, at least.

      @TimBatSea  12 днів тому

    #19 ABS Inspection every 5 years, Yup! The wheels, rudder, shafts were all inspected, etc. Our vessels had pitted wheels that needed to be repaired. The Flicker Lights would dim and bright as we cavitate, too! That is how they got their name.

    Hey Tim,
    Would it have been easier if you came down the port side of the slip, passed the ship by a length or two, and then spun clockwise? Seems to me (with my small boat handling knowledge) that would have gotten you closer to where you needed to go. Even if there wasn't enough water to go past, wouldn't a clockwise spin have been better?

    • @TimBatSea
      @TimBatSea  8 днів тому

      Thank you for watching Wesley. Because we steer from the back, and because we have a better view as we are in the back of the unit, most times we prefer to rotate with the wheels to the ship. CUOTO

    Have you experienced the cavitation beating up on the shaft bearings? As to the chart plotter, The briefing with the chart plotter beforehand is more informative than showing it as you move. But if you have a section where the chart plotter is critical to the conning then it would be appropriate to show it. Noticed you spun it before the set turning basin.

    • @TimBatSea
      @TimBatSea  12 днів тому +1

      Thank you very much for watching. I do not believe the shaft bearings take unusual abuse. I'm sure the turning basin is fine, but I've never been back there, so I go where I know I have water. CUOTO

When I first started viewing your channel I could see your track line & all that, I can’t make out heads or tails out of this one. But I understand what your trying to do familiar with twin screws from a Gearing class Destroyer 😁 Never drove the ship just watched young JOOD’s being instructed in how to use twin screws.

    Are the figures on the chart plot, in feet, metres or fathoms?
    And what is your fully loaded draft?
    Wiki tells me that there are several differing but similar methods of measuring depth BUT nobody says the metric is being used... feet, fathoms, metres or bananas!
    ...
    I may live 40 miles from the sea but often like to watch ships on the River Mersey at Liverpool.

    Hi Tim from yes you guessed it rainy UK, the new video's are fine as usual but the chart plotter is no good as it is and you need to maybe show less area by zooming in to at least show the barge more clearly as at present you cannot see it also keep the speed showing
    Take care 🙂

    The chart talk at the beginning was very helpful. Including the chart during the transit and maneuvering was (especially if a PITA for you in post-production) not worth the effort. The speed readout, which is the principal info on that screen, is so small (and I watch on a big screen TV, not my computer monitor) as to be a waste of screen space. All in all, an interesting way to begin a gray morning.

    I wouldn't miss the chart plotter if you discontinue showing it, especially if it means that much extra work. Just show it at the beginning of the video and tell us where you are, where you're going and the route to get there. But the final decision of course is yours.
