For all who say that this maneuver was too risky: The Greek ferry system is one of Europe's most iterated. Many ports are small, most harbors are surrounded by hills, which change the general direction of winds. Winter winds can be very strong, but also in summer in the central Aegean there is a nearly constant strong wind of Bf 4-8 (the Meltemi). Yet the Greek ferry system is one of the safest in the world. Kudos to Greek Ferry Captains ! In this case (a relatively big harbor in tranquil weather) the weathered master of this vessel executed a bold maneuver, but one which was well within his skills. Bravo !
Marvel at the seamanship! That ferry goes in and out of many ports in a single day, in all weathers and all tide states; it has a schedule to keep and islands to serve. Brilliant.
@@cagrigokhantortum8040 sure, but with no prop wash your steering is going to be quite severely impacted. And what about a steering gear failure? Like, I get that this is fine when everything works, it's just that the moment something doesn't work as intended you're having a bad day because you're cutting the margins so fine.
What they gonna do when good old 'Murphy' shows up! It happens! BCFerries had a linkage disconnect coming in to dock and could not stop and took out several boats at the dock in Horseshoe Bay. And they were no where near as fast as this!
That hot-shot Captain will do that every day for years and then , just when he's about to throw his ship into that starboard turn as he comes through the pier heads his steering gear will fail, it will fail to neutral and his ship will not even slow by half a knot before coming to grief buried bridge deep in the port side of a product carrier, seconds later there will be a bright glow and lots of heat and light and a front page headline around the world.
You are exactly right sir. Having optimistic macho captains, especially on passenger vessels, is playing Russian roulette. Eventually people die. This is an example of truly lousy seamanship.
This is the main Maria on Siros, Greece. A beautyful town and neat place. BUT (read on): I was in this marina with my sailboat - once and never again because of those morons. They drive like Jackasses into the harbor with 10kn or more - then full bow thrusters and full reverse, which creates around 1,5 to 2m high waves in the maria. I never went offboard to protect my ship. Other ships were pushed into the kaiwall. The problem is - you have to go back and anchor at around 15m depth. So you have a shit load of chain out that you can't pull it tight enought if one of those iditos does his stunt there... Going sideways to the kai is suicide. The marina is free of charge and you get even free water and electricity to make it more attractive - but even this does not help... I ended up leaving the marina at evening and anchoring at the small island you can see at the beginning of the vid to get at least some sleep. Next day I went back just for 30 mins to put my repaired sail back on and left as quickly as I could. This has nothing to do with "like a boss" .. more "like a idiot". Go to this marina and you can watch really poor seamanship shown by the profis - not more. Fun fact: This marina is hated by nearly every sailor I've met in greece because of those stupid ferry "captains".
You are a moron that you think the entire harbor should belong to your shitty sailboat. These islands get thousands of tourists every day and ferries need to get in and out fast because they also serve other islands in a row. Greek captains were and still are the best in the planet. Maneuvering a ferry so quick is really hard to do and no other captains except Greeks can do such thing.
This ship is from canada since 2014, and it was one of the only ships of this company goes in rafina, i saw photos of indroos too! I never got inside on that ship, i wish i could tho!
Too fast in my opinion. Ok, they're doing every day, vessel is good and very manouvreable (CPP, Becker rudders and thrusters), as long as nothing will happen......over reliance is a nasty and hidden risk.
Could you imagine just scuba diving in this little bay here minding your own business and then you start feeling the water churning around above you and look up above and see this happening just before you get turned into fish food?😱
This recording brought to you by potato inc... There is no reason, even at 2014, for this shit to be in fucking 240p. War/terror recordings coming out of 4th world shit holes are 1080p but i cant get my ferry boat groove on in high def? Fuck that.
The Greek captains are called "Cybernitis" KIVERNITIS ( it's where you get the "cyber" word ). The same name as the "captains" in the battle of Salamis 480BC when Greece saved Western Civilization.

Even if they did, the ferry company would not do anything here. It's profits they are after, and polite. well behaved captains/ first officers don't make profits.

The port authority should suspend this guy license for life. He shows very poor seamanship and no respect whatsoever for private property, the environment and above all human life. A ship is far from being a perfect machine and human error is always possible. Dont forget the Costa Concordia . Wanna be a hot shot...join the circus.
+DodecagonYT This kind of manoeuvring remains common throughout the Mediterranean , however in Commonwealth and Northern European ports would breach port bylaws and result in the loss of pilotage exemption and possibly criminal proceedings in the courts. The manouevre may be successful 99.9% of the time, but a single mechanical failure could be catastrophic. The amount of astern thrust required to stop the vessel is immense (note the excessive cavitation). It is detrimental to the underwater marine environment. Many Masters are capable of manoeuvres at this speed, but most will never be reckless enough to risk lives doing it.

That greek ferry captain has probably been doing this trick for twenty years and nailed it every time!
An so was Francesco Schettino, currently anchored, well known captain
Probably same captain of Super Ferry II (back when it was Strinzis lines). He used to dock like this in the old port of Tinos (inner port)

This ship is now in Canada in nova scotia. Bay ferries ltd
...too bad the cameraman didn't FILM IT LIKE A BOSS
BEST comment ever!
It's a piece of cake maneuvering in the port of Syros for captain Elias Verveniotis
Been to Santorini n watched this in the front of my face. Awesome skill.
That is "Drifting in the sea"
more like doing a drift with a fully loaded 24 wheeler
no thats called "drifting like a boss"
XD
Wet and Furious
damn.. i saw people parking their cars slower than this!!!
After sailing many years at the Aegean sea (Greece), this was her last docking at Syros Isl (i think). Now the ship is sailing at Australian waters...
Canadian waters,.
Now the ship is sailing at Canaian waters
sorry Canadiaan waters
Untill you lose CPP or ME......brace for impact..
Blue Star Ferries has some dope ass captain
Marvel at the seamanship! That ferry goes in and out of many ports in a single day, in all weathers and all tide states; it has a schedule to keep and islands to serve. Brilliant.
Captain has great maneuvering skill. He knows her limit. he can dock safely, even single engine failure. Respect!
A single engine failure at certain points of that manoeuvre would not have ended particularly well.
Hi Robin, I don’t think so. We swing the vessel drastically to stop her easily. This Captain also do the same..
@@cagrigokhantortum8040 sure, but with no prop wash your steering is going to be quite severely impacted. And what about a steering gear failure?

This guy is the big boss of Captain's. Amazing Congratulations😀

that ship have powerful engine..amazing skills...the captain been docking in the area for over 20yrs...
I have traveled with this company and all captains go so fast, pretty entertaining tbh 😅
the speed he arrives in to port,leaves very little room for error.
He just pulled off a fucking handbrake turn! In a boat!
Not a boat....120 meters ship
That hot-shot Captain will do that every day for years and then , just when he's about to throw his ship into that starboard turn as he comes through the pier heads his steering gear will fail, it will fail to neutral and his ship will not even slow by half a knot before coming to grief buried bridge deep in the port side of a product carrier, seconds later there will be a bright glow and lots of heat and light and a front page headline around the world.
You are exactly right sir. Having optimistic macho captains, especially on passenger vessels, is playing Russian roulette. Eventually people die. This is an example of truly lousy seamanship.
There are old Captains, and there are bold Captains.
Very rarely do you get old bold Captains.
And then Anton Rudenham wakes up!!
actually, blue star ferries captains have been doing this manoeuvre for years and the had never had an accident
That is not proof that it is a good idea,he has got away with it so far but one day his steering gear will fail.

The captain is swag
That had to be Captain Ron.
Damn!!!! .. now I'll never feel boss, next time I manage to parallel park my Jeep downtown :(
wow, here in Finland we have large ferries with hard schedules, but their never in such a hurry as these guys.
I guess they were a little late.
The captain will is making charon himself proud
Ayo WHAT THE HELL the fastest docking i've seen in a while
The pilot was humming I Like Big Butts. For sure.
And he's doing it with his chest-hair out, while smiling brilliantly at your lady and doing the Sirtaki.
lol man u still remember the 50's?
The Captain obviously needed to do number "2".
It's a fucking ferry, dude probably does this like 5 times a day not exactly surprising.
It's looks cool unless you are on a small boat in the marina and the waters start coming to you.
Too fast in my opinion. Ok, they're doing every day, vessel is good and very manouvreable (CPP, Becker rudders and thrusters), as long as nothing will happen......over reliance is a nasty and hidden risk.
Greeks know a lot about shipping and safety so I don’t think it’s a problem . They wouldn’t do something that they can’t do or think it’s risky
@@Orpheaspanayiotopou haha, OK... haha. Cos accidents never happen...
@@Orpheaspanayiotopou hmmm, I wonder if you are Greek or not. If only there was a way to tell

@@Orpheaspanayiotopou just a joke… nothing wrong with being Greek, beautiful country
The captain must be a skilled BMW-driver .-)
Costa Concordia, under the strong hand of capt Schettino was doing the same kind of cocky manoeuver. It went awfully wrong.
Sumacher lives! in every corner, apex or ehm docking platform:)
You know exactly what music this needs

when the captain is a drift maniac
He'd be completely fucked if he lost power or steering during any part of that.
bow thrusters...
@@captainopvious7498 Do bow thrusters stop you going ahead at 6 knots??? Asking for a friend
It's called Perfection, which comes from experience
*insert Tokyo drift, deja vu or another drift music here*
Congratulations to the captain!!! A great reverse maneuver.
time is gold!!!
Wow! 5 star docking! 🥰
High season at Greek islands.There are good captains, excellent captains, and there are Greek captains
J
A perfect docking! love it!

for warships is called Torpedobeat, now it's called Dockbeat hahaha
video taken from neorion shipyards-syros?
Unfortunately, the source and location was not fully confirmed.
that's ship handling
I would have liked if the camera man would have been as half as skillful as the captain.
funny when you filmed your mate :D
Maybe he did. We'll never know.

Experienced as they may be all it takes is a blackout or a steering gear failure...
