I so enjoy these salvage videos! Absolutely fascinating, to see "how its done". No, this is the first time I've seen the 'stutter' .. unsure what's causing this...? I still watched. :)
I ave seen ore carrying railway cars at Marquette, Michigan on Lake Superior...these are 100 tons so at Marquette, they are 50 tons and the ore is taken out onto pocket docks from which ships are loaded. Thanks for this fine video which allowed me to gain some view of iron ore mining in Australia :)
I love Australië I love your people I love your languish I like your landscapes Your seas But I can't help it I'm so proud of "our" dutch company's that are active to salvage over the world
To clearify the meaning of "Bollard Pull" It is measured as follows. A tug is fastened with its towing line to a sturdy point ashore. In between the shore and the towing line a sort of scale is placed and when the tug starts pulling at full throttle it measures how much tons the tug can pull with its engines at its highest power. For example: try how many kilo's tou can pull using a scale at the gym.
Thank you, I was wondering how they measured that. I imagined a fancy measuring bollard but it makes way more sense to measure the pull off the line lol. You know since tractor pulling is a thing they should do tug pulling. How cool would it be to see the world's largest tugs trying to drag like a massive anchor a certain distance? Yeah probably too expensive and a waste of a valuable tug but man would that be cool.
For future reference please note that the port is pronounced "Damp_ier", not "Dam_pier". It was named for the 16th century English buccaneer who was the first to navigate and record these waters.
Does the term Bollard Pull refer to the tugs traction in the water??? i was surprised that the big tug only has 150 ton pull, yet they can pull a 220,000 ship
All these videos from Svirzer stutter. Does any body else see this? It's like a buffer, but only on these videos do I see it.....kind of annoying. Had a thought...Australia is an island, albeit a big island, and they're digging it up and selling it off one ship at a time. 🤣
I'm fairly sure the video wouldn't have stuttered like that originally, someone has messed up when converting the video to a lower resolution for the internet.
Anyone ever notice that women are always complaining because men in general get paid more than women. But you never see women doing incredibly dangerous and difficult jobs like this... point out ONE woman who's doing anything dangerous here or in any of these videos? in ANY dangerous job period actually... just one!
all very well, but why do you have to be a naval architect to determine that if you take something away, it gets lighter? old boys keeping other old boys in their jobs I suppose...
Yeah, because that's all they needed to know...ever consider that calculating the correct amount and location of cargo to remove has structural, stability, cost, and logistics implications? I'm sure the naval architects just walked up and said "yep, due to my architect training I can tell you that removing weight will make it lighter...here's my bill". /sarcasm
They know exactly how much to remove and where from. If you over simplify it then it sounds easy, when you have no room for error and big stakes at play you use the big boys to figure it out

Simply fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
Awesome engineering and technology alongside of some very loyal and capable men
This company gets the editing thing down.
Makes for a pleasant watch.
Love it when a plan comes together!
I love Australië
I love your people
I love your languish
I like your landscapes
Your seas
But I can't help it

They're Covid morons down under.
Very nice video.
Thank you for sharing.
Atlanta Georgia USA. 12.4.2020
the music is great!
Oh ! The video jolts too much.
I had lived on Lake Superior. Now there some 13 1,000 footers om the Great Lakes.

music by vangelis??? :) :P love it.. tacky old school overruled by it's pure brilliant composition.
I wish they would have shown the exact cause of mechanical failure and what exactly was repaired to get her up and running.
wow.. interesting watching this

You forgot to comment that Dampier is the largest port in the world, while nearby Port Hedland is No 2!
You might want to check your facts...that may have been so on 2003-4 but not now.
well done guys
They give you every detail in these documentaries except for one thing...the bottom line cost.
this one was as cheap as it gets too
Not true, the one for the salvage of the TRICOLOR they stated it was 9Mil.
Strewth, it's Alf Stewart!
Stone the flamin crow's
Engine failure due to?
How was it fixed?
That's not relevant for Weismuller. They just record their salvage operations.
At 3,25 they tell you that generator problems led to a main engine failure and the ship drifted off the main channel.
I'm still a little in the dark and to why it listed to one side and went over. Anyone?
These men earn their money.

The bollard it the post that ropes are attached to
Fuck yeah straya, used to live up there bloody beautiful country
I wonder if the granite outcrop was blasted to clear the side of the channel ?
Why does the video shudder? this is hurting my eyes
Lo fram rate, and poor rendering.
Improper transfer of film image to video. For more info see "Three-two pull down" in Wikipedia.

Maybe an issue with going from 24fps to 30?
Ah, Mac ol buddy. Australia is a continent. And fairly immense at that
And kangaroos pause in mid air every half jump.
Some off those Aussies in the debrief look pretty damm rough! These guys get turned down by sheep.
How is Pollard pull calculated ? Anyone know ...
It's Bollard pull. Use a long rope to tie the boat to a nice big bollard on land, give it full beans and measure how hard it's pulling.
East intercouse island? I'm on my way.
A finely produced video is marred by a cheap camera.
I'm fairly sure the video wouldn't have stuttered like that originally, someone has messed up when converting the video to a lower resolution for the internet.
I like to watch such videos, but this is at least the second video from this channel which is jerky/choppy :(
no audio
And then into drydock for repaint..
Ion Racer Then home for Meat Pies, Cold Beers an Lamingtons for sweets.
What's the matter with the camera work mate? Can't look at it it is disturbing.
Almost unwatchable. Usually love these Svitzer video's
are kangaroos just giant mice ?
Only in Sylvester the cat cartoons!
Look up 'Marsupials'.
no
I think the camera man had the music on his headset
No Aussies work there! It's a shame... And we still pay a high price for steel 👎
No such thing as aluminum ore, the ore is Bauxite!
That's the definition of bauxite.
@Maloy7800 Only to the ignorant 😜
@ craig sawicky Indeed!
Yes I see the stutter
You could just call it Western Australia it sounds weird north western Australian because I’m from Australia
Why the stutter? Could not watch it.
Very poor video too blurry
Probably film converted to digital format.

take weight from the wrong hold and you could break a ship in half or damage it structurally :)
I have seen better video's from this channel. This one is shuddering!
Absolutely dreadful camera work. Not watchable.
Why do they ruin these video`s with irritating musiv.
Apart from the hugely crap "music" a very interesting documentary.
I hear " ... ship got into trouble" a lot. how come they never say the truth, "drunken captain, with no life to speak of, really screwed up."
The ship experienced engine failure while traveling at 7kts which caused it to drift out of the channel. Mechanical failures do happen.
Does ANYONE really believe that this idiotic globe intro represents reality ? Apparently Svitzer does !
LOL nice joke
