Coast Guard, Coast Guard, we are in heavy seas and declaring an emergency. We cannot stop this terrible music! Oh and we are loosing our cargo as well.
Those are fermentation tanks. They are used for making beer and other alcohol. They are being shipped empty and are thus light weight, but obviously were not lashed down well.
And that's why we usually use one inch line all around to secure these drums instead of half inch. But the company did save a few hundred dollars with the half inch.....go figure.......
The music was terrific. Nice intro, then it sounded like Sade at the beginning, then kinda morphed into a Madonna-like voice. Nice tempo and all as clean and precise as you could want. And kudos for leaving the extra minute plus in so the song could play through. I enjoyed it it thoroughly. Thanks!
+terrabus1 Then again, maybe some other islanders will unexpectedly go into the beer-making business, without having to borrow a fortune to pay for the capital equipment.
If there wasn't enough force to rip the container apart, then there is no excuse for the restraints coming loose. You would always use chain strong enough to suspend double the weight of the cargo. At least that is what I do when hauling loads on my truck.
I was wondering what would happen if a captain tried to send a crew out there. No way I’d go, they could lock me up for the rest of the trip before I’d go out there!
Much better, original version of this: "Perils of the sea" on UA-cam now. Much higher definition, no cropping, and the original ships sounds with the crew discussing the problem and reporting the hazards to local shipping.
We lost Paper Mill containers in the big Pacific in 98, customer not happy, bottom line bruised till the Insurance check arrived. I love the ocean, unpredictableyet so beautiful, especially in the Lesser Antilles....
Like others here, I'm very curious as to what was in those containers. I've never seen cylinders quite like that before. Were they ever recovered? Seems like if they washed ashore somewhere, it'd at least merit a local headline!
By what I see the lashing job was not satisfactory in the least but all cargo is insured. We had 4 large pressure vessels that went off the deck in a typhoon but the Captain gave the order to cut everything free or they would have lost the ship. The problem was the vessels were required on-site immediately so the manufacturer worked around the clock to replace them in record time so site penalties were avoided.
for anyone seeking what the pcs were or are they look more like high pressure vessels or maybe storage silos transformers don't have funnels at their base and spout holes to displace the contents looks agricultural or maybe giant beer vats
I'm sure all procedures were followed, but heavy seas are capable of destroying virtually everything on board, by the looks of it, this was the most convenient space to load these things and they are probably hard to tie down, when one starts rolling and banging into others, sooner or later they all go.
i have no merchant mariner experience so i have a condescending attitude so i can proclaim this is stupid and i would've done it better .when in reality that translates to i have a small gentlemans sausage so i will make as many people that i can look stupid to so i can slowly fade out of the attention to my inadequacies
I pretend I am a competent expert, so I can have a condescending attitude so I can proclaim that all criticism of incidents like this are unwarranted, untrue, and stupid. When in reality, I am a proud but incompetent and foolish journeyman, so I try to whitewash the resulting blunders caused by my incompetence & foolishness (and the same committed by people like me), by attacking the character of any critics. Maybe people will be so distracted by evaluating the character of the critics, they won't discover my (and others like me) incompetence and foolishness.
Welp u won that one i thought i did a good job summizing (yes i did pass the 2nd grade thank u)the comments section but i have been bested .the floor is urs good sir .i relenquish my duties of floor mopping and leave the job to you and i stand readily (did it again)awaiting any need for assistance i will b at ur disposal
Well the Cargo was 100% secured and lashed when they left the terminal otherwise PSC(Port State Control) wouldn't have left the ship sail if there were any deficiencies....the locks must have been broken due to rolling and pitching due to harsh sea conditions....The sea is always a tough thing even someone who have spent 20 years working in it would get seasick...
The cylinders were improperly secured to the deck and to each other. Industry best practices are to stand them on end, in two rows of three, with a large plastic fastener at the top that securely grips all six at once. An oversize elastic band is then run from one rail, over the top, down to the other rail.
Well that's a mistake in the video loosing the cargo isn't the worst condition(unless it's oil or any other polluting substance) there are list of disasters that can hit the ship which we were taught in college the worst of them are fire and collision.
Lol at the top comments, those guys need to learn about the "mute" and "hide annotations" buttons... I personally love this song and think it fits the video (at least better than Justin Bieber would, by the way title is Ocean Drive by Madison Park), also knowing that those guys sent messages to warn other ships about the lost cargo is nice so annotations make sense. Really cool video!
ps: My plan for the (Submersible) transport vessel would work fine with small load's or even group's of traveller's. It would only be about 80 feet long, (a submersible Clipper Ship=Speedy)! I think the old Clipper ship's were brilliantly designed!
Most of the cargo is shipped in squared casks. They make it easier to lash, or "block. There are several adequate vessels made just for sophisticated transport.
The forward crane caisson looked like it took a beating. Those containers would've been better secured in the hold of a small bulker or maybe a lumber carrier. The flat deck of a narrow general cargo ship can become a highly unstable area in rough weather......especially for cylindrical containers of considerable weight.
Those are beer vats! Much like the ones that were transported to Toronto a few years ago. I have a video of them on trailers being moved to the Molson facility in Toronto.
The bosun and one ab where sent out to secure the cargo. Ab ended up going over the side and the ship continued on passage as it was too rough to turn the ship at the risk of capsizing. Bosun and the master are now both in prison for negligence. Was alongside in algeria and speaking to the crew on its sister ship.
That's unconscionable. While it's absolutely true that the cargo should have been properly secured at dockside (that's the only chance to really do it right) and periodically inspected while underway, by the stage at which we get to this video, there's nobody who should be going to set chocks and rig the apparently missing hold-downs. Checking them to be sure they're not working loose, sure, because some amount of working is inevitable and it has to be caught in the early stages. That's a necessary and acceptable risk, if the cargo is secure. But when it isn't, nobody should be ordered out, whether to be made a hero or punished for improper stowage doesn't matter. Lose your ticket, get sued, go to jail, whatever. But not be crushed to death or washed overboard or any other additional stupidity. That's the point. One stupid move is bad enough. That was the bosun, at dockside. Don't make it worse. That was the master, I assume, from your account of who was eventually charged and imprisoned. And I'm very glad that word does get around about these things. Thanks for giving an account of events. It's so much more meaningful than idle speculation.
Interesting - when I first went to sea 60 years ago, deck cargo other than timber was anathema to our officers. They would have hysterics at the sight of this poorly strapped cargo with no chocks. Timber was fun, the Scowegians often went by with their decks awash, kept afloat by their cargo. Wind driven pumps too!
the owner of the company who was doing the lashing and the securing on deck was probably very happy to hear the news about the missing cargo at destination :)
@joepatroni77 You have to understand that shipping vessals are on a deadline and they have possibly millions of dollars worth in cargo and that they are in a storm. Slowing the vessal down to pick up the dropped cargo would take too long and cause the companies to loose money. They most likely called in another ship or heli to pick it up later.
@chena3 no, the loading is correct, should be longitudinal ( not across the deck ). but there are no lashings. there must be suffiicent lashings around the cylinders lashed to deck.
It is not the ship's crew that loads and secures the cargo. This is done by specialized stevadores. It is however the captain's responsibility (via his right hand mate, the Chief Officer) to make sure they do a good job. If the captain does not approve of the way the cargo is secured they have to do it again until he is happy. In many cases it ends up with shouting match between the CO and the stevadores as the later want to finish the job as fast as possible.
Ive done quite a bit of drugs in my life and never would have thought that this music goes well with this video. Any chance you can let me know what you're on? Sounds like fun!!!
It wouldn't be filled with anything if it's to be secured on deck like that i think... if liquid was to be transported it would be in cylinders in a container-frame
most likely project cargo and not tank containers.... and with the sea like this, jettisoning the cargo would be a better option than risking the vessel with damage or loss of stability....
legend has it that hundreds of containers fall of of cargo ships a year, and that they are designed to sink, but don't do so all the time, often just floating below the surface, posing a big threat to recreational boaters.
@callmeshane303 I would never my crew on deck in that sea state with loose cargo, even an Olympic athlete has serious risk of crush to death. A life is not worth the cargo. Carry on!
@palfcadia not feasible! objects are subject to much greater accelerating forces in the fore and aft direction. thats why they are generally stowed athwartships. only in this case the lashings were inadequate. :)
To all of you asking why the don't fix it in heavy sea, this would be suicide and no captn with clear mind would allow this. Better to lose some cargo than to endanger crew and/or vessel. In the end it's only possible to fix that barrels at just one end and then cargo starts "dancing" - if it's possible to do that at all. But in the end it's better to let the cargo overboard than a crew member.
Like I told my friend when I was helping him move his sofas with my truck, he asked "why are you putting two straps on there?" My dad said, "Son, you can never put too many tie downs on a cargo"
Guys, seriously google bbc news mystery container found on beach and tell me if you think it is one of the containers from this film? Something that looks very similar was washed up on a beach in Scotland 29 December 2007 and had everyone scratching their heads about what it was. There is a photo accompanying the article. If this was filmed in the Atlantic prior Dec 2007 it could be one of the containers from this ship, carried up to Scotland by the North Atlantic drift. What do you think?
+nightlightabcd Yes, no, and we'll never know. Yes it is the final responsibility of the Captain and certain crew to ensure that all cargo is secured properly; at least in most countries, but... Even with redundancy, no matter how it is tied/anchored down, it will eventually fail. Even with proper maintenance items such as unusual storms and even something as simple as salt water and/or other weather conditions can cause items to fail.
.... these are just some storage tanks, and both nozzles are clearly open. By strapping them down you would probably crush them, vessel like these can't handle pressure coming from the outside.
Well I don't know about the cargo neither does the CEO's of the shipping lines but they have lists and clear instructions on how to handle them also they get a notice of instructions from the shipper(Who in return got a notice from the cargo owner if he is not the cargo owner) The insurance definitely wouldn't agree to insure a cargo if it is not well lashed and tight to the ship's deck The video didn't show what did the three parties(Carrier ,Consignee and Consignor) agreed upon And the PSC(Port State Control) wouldn't let the ship sail from terminal if they have a non-conformity.
I am a cargo securing expert! and that incident just comes under "S*** happens" they look stowed correctly. The crew are supposed to check the securing chains every few hours to ensure that they are tights. I would have not used this type of vessel to send these tanks, I would have sent them using a Ro-Ro vessel and secured them internally on Maffi trailers.
Who'd have thought it hey? Amazing to think it bobbed about in the ocean all that time. Imagine how dangerous that was! I understand it is connected to the brewing industry and was being delivered to Coors in the US. Shame it wasn't full of beer and sealed. Now that would be a find! Shhh - better not tell the coastguard in the UK, might be a hell of a bill waiting for getting rid of the thing.
Dear Boss, "Awww shit" Signed, your former deck department.. Not that I am a maritime expert, seems like the cylinders should have been secured to the deck individually and together, a few extra chains might have prevented this embarrassment and possible loss, not to mention environmental damage depending what was in the containers, rocket motors?
I like to think that those cylinders were trying to escape the music being played on the ship.
Oddly enough, it's perfect escape mucic.
No, I like the tune, you can have the cargo
I agree, awful.
Surely putting cylinders on a flat deck and going out to see ir asking for trouble?
The sea was rough, but not that rough to lose your cargo. Bad stowing!!!!
Lol. Stop acting like youre better at lashing cargos.
@@tekatoanimeyt3206 Must be. It took you 3 years to break free to make a comment. ;>)
It is stupid to do
The damage was done at the dock during the rigging. Nothing left to do at this point except watch the insurance rates go up.
This is how containers should be kept - free range!
Coast Guard, Coast Guard, we are in heavy seas and declaring an emergency. We cannot stop this terrible music! Oh and we are loosing our cargo as well.
Those are fermentation tanks. They are used for making beer and other alcohol. They are being shipped empty and are thus light weight, but obviously were not lashed down well.
Shipping containers can be washed overboard in rough seas.
Oh good, didn't loose anything important. Less booz is good.
Meta Tron Well, they float. And were recovered.
lashed down like shit, where are the top-over twin straps? Looks like the same morons who spilled 50 cars into the east china sea.
Brad Rex they were not recovered
The music - I'd jump into the sea, too! Fire the dubbing "artist."
And that's why we usually use one inch line all around to secure these drums instead of half inch. But the company did save a few hundred dollars with the half inch.....go figure.......
The music was terrific. Nice intro, then it sounded like Sade at the beginning, then kinda morphed into a Madonna-like voice. Nice tempo and all as clean and precise as you could want. And kudos for leaving the extra minute plus in so the song could play through. I enjoyed it it thoroughly. Thanks!
Looks like some Islander is going into the beer business
uscgalpha91 Not anymore.
+uscgalpha91 is that what they are
+terrabus1 Then again, maybe some other islanders will unexpectedly go into the beer-making business, without having to borrow a fortune to pay for the capital equipment.
+terrabus1 Depending on the ocean currents, that is.
Excellent choice of music for a 90's gay bar!
If there wasn't enough force to rip the container apart, then there is no excuse for the restraints coming loose. You would always use chain strong enough to suspend double the weight of the cargo. At least that is what I do when hauling loads on my truck.
Heck, cargo? I'd jump off the ship myself rather than be subjected to the music.
If you hate the music ...Hit the mute button. I despise most of the music on U-Tube today....Mute Mute Mute.
I can just imagine the captain looking down at the deck thinking "C'mon baby stay on board... NO DON'T GO THAT WAY!!!"
@Eng8492 Never in a million years would I send one of my men out there to rig those vessels. That's somebody's life right there.
I was wondering what would happen if a captain tried to send a crew out there. No way I’d go, they could lock me up for the rest of the trip before I’d go out there!
Longshoreman from So Cal here. Clesrly, Lashing down the Cargo was a very costly oversight.
+PONCEInEffect You mean NOT lashing down the cargo because I don't see ANY restraints.
+Everett Cox Exactly.

beer vats
FemaleLeo67 If that's the case, one has to wonder if the containers carrying the pretzels and peanuts were safely stowed below deck. X-D
Suzanne Gillespie haha :D
grain silo's
they look to be vessals for some kinda chemical plant...they were probably empty and eventually filled with water and sunk...major loss!!!
By what I see the lashing job was not satisfactory in the least but all cargo is insured. We had 4 large pressure vessels that went off the deck in a typhoon but the Captain gave the order to cut everything free or they would have lost the ship.

It's horrible OP didn't timestamp it. Gotta sit through 6 minutes waiting for action.

What's worse is the boat that's gonna hit those tanks, bobbing in the water.
Well that's a mistake in the video loosing the cargo isn't the worst condition(unless it's oil or any other polluting substance) there are list of disasters that can hit the ship which we were taught in college the worst of them are fire and collision.

I'm listening to it again and not minding it this time. So maybe you're right.

Just took a listen to the original music you have posted on your page. Now the comment makes sense.
Clearly those were the cargo. They were being delivered somewhere and were empty....why do people here think there was something in them?
Why do you assume they were empty? Oil floats too.

How do you know? You the idiot who lost them?

i've exprienced the same situation once. we have lost 1 cargo. here i can not see any lashing around the cylinders. very stressfull times.
It is not the ship's crew that loads and secures the cargo. This is done by specialized stevadores. It is however the captain's responsibility (via his right hand mate, the Chief Officer) to make sure they do a good job.

for the brewing industry. they are made by a company in Germany and i think they were on route to America, possibly Coors

It wouldn't be filled with anything if it's to be secured on deck like that i think... if liquid was to be transported it would be in cylinders in a container-frame
these can wreck havoc on a passing vessel while floating at sea
What did they strap that stuff down with - dental floss? Who would think a cargo ship at sea might encounter rough weather...
i like how the music kind of makes this awful situation less tragic.... hahaha
most likely project cargo and not tank containers.... and with the sea like this, jettisoning the cargo would be a better option than risking the vessel with damage or loss of stability....

you must tie up your cargo before deparature
nothing wrong with the music! just negative people!
full on - that was kind of mesmerizing.
@palfcadia not feasible! objects are subject to much greater accelerating forces in the fore and aft direction. thats why they are generally stowed athwartships. only in this case the lashings were inadequate. :)

When you're losing Cargo, but you're also close to Ibiza:
Is this not the fault of the ships crew, and captain, for not securing these tanks?

Yes, no, and we'll never know.

And the PSC(Port State Control) wouldn't let the ship sail from terminal if they have a non-conformity.

The music is Ocean Drive (Lenny B's Extended Club Mix), by Madison Park.
i know this ship, its one of our ship in my company.. one merchant seaman lost his life and was never found again.
Keep evolving, son. It will all come together somewhere in the future. In the meantime, try to play nice. *sarcasm mode NOT invoked*
