The salvage master came across as a true professional, as someone who spent 23 years at sea I've got a lot of time for him and his team, good job well done.
A professional outcome from a highly professional company! Saving the vessel for the owner and insurer, saving the beach, sea and marine ecosystem from pollution. It doesn't get more professional than that!
I think they took unnecessary risk by not removing the fuel. They were waiting a month for high tide so why not pump the fuel out in that time? The fuel could have begun leaking if another storm came or when they tried to refloat it.
I watch these salvage videos from all around the world. This one was in my backyard. I now realise how cringeworthy everyone else must feel when they see their politicians hogging the limelight and turning the whole production into a political point scoring opportunity. Thank god the salvage team are there to save the day, the politicians sure as hell don't contribute a damn thing apart from hot air.
the politicians in nsw were nothing but grateful for the salvage team and even acknowledged it during the press conference. in america i would agree 100 percent, our politicians are monsters compared to yours.
I drove up to Newcastle from south west Sydney just to see this it was an awesome sight and the incredible noise of the big waves hitting the empty vessel well worth the trip
Outstanding, I'm from Newcastle and I remember this very well, you guys did an excellent job, I hope you had an aussie beer or two after all that effort! Bravo Zulu.
fkin aye!!! "as though wed worked together for many years" He got the job done, good, Camera Baby,, is all he is,, Droll Drew,,, good name for him hahahaha
Media and the public have difficulty understanding the complexity of refloating a large vessel. The thing the media fear most is a spill, which is prescisely why it takes time to ensure the right plan is put in place. These guys are super proffessional, they have to be. A mistake could cost them their livilihood
Nick Grigorakos haha, i guess a spill makes a good story....i often think after a terrorist attack is thwarted, the news journalists are probably kicking the shit out of everything
I don't know if the US and Britain have this, but minister tripoldi couldnt miss the opportunity to don a hard hat and take the photo opportunity lol. He wouldnt have known which end of the ship was what
Great job by experts from three countries which made a tough salvage job possible thus averting what would have been an ecological disaster. Looking at the rough seas this should be seen as a warning for the future that an event of this nature could repeat itself. Hats off to Svitzer.
Very interesting. thanks. Can't believe how many ships were out at sea (13.15) I counted at least 14. We have many ship wrecks here off the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, so it was great to see them remove this one. Well Done
No mention that there's still 30% of her rudder still embedded in the sand 100 metres or so from the beach lol. Pictures of the ship when she first ran aground looked like they were photoshopped, the top of the bridge was nearly level with the top of Nobby's lighthouse and the deck was twice the height of the surf club roof as seen in the thumbnail. There was a lot of legal fallout afterwards concerning the whole incident and speculation that the ship didn't drag the anchor, but was instead attempting to relocate to deeper water well after the window to do so had passed. Born and raised in Newcastle and know this incident well.
Peter Scandlyn Yes, considering that other ships have run aground in the area and were not fortunate enough to re-floated. The Sygna for instance ran aground within 20 km of this incident in 1974 and all attempts to salvage her failed. She remained intact and still stranded on the beach until another violent storm broke her up and washed her away earlier this year. No disrespect to Svitzer as they accomplished the task they set out to achieve, but others involved (government departments and possibly the ship's owners/insurers) kind of hampered there efforts a bit.
Yeah they were trying to "jump the queue" - by staying inshore whilst others went out to sea as directed - then when it was too late / dangerous they tried to move out to sea and got washed back onto the beach. Very bad decision by the captain / vessel master.
Iam from Newcastle and was at working at the Civic theater Restaurant as a chef when the storm hit, parts of Newcastle was flooded and I was trying to get home, my wife was trying to get to me, so I went to the next suburb so she can meet me in the car. I almost nearly fell into a storm water drain lucky I turned (water was up to my chest) around, the next day on the news that someone had drowned in the same area I think someone was looking out for me. It was the scariest thing I have been through ( I been through cyclones in north Queensland).
Huh. They land on purpose built helipads on ships in good weather. When a ship is on the shore with waves breaking over the top of it, landing on a helipad is too risky. And as for landing on shore,eg at the carpark,park, well if they have a rope hanging off the helicopter there is the risk it fouls.. catches something.. what if the wind changes and they have to fly off ?? So they must not have a rope piling up on the ground... thats why they would do stuff from while hovering. And if you mean the crew retrieval during strong wind .. wind too strong. The helicopter is rocking ..pilot can keep it controlled well enough to hover but not well enough to land.... Wind stronger at ocean. It may have had to land quite some distance away, rather than its home base.
We spent a great fortnight in Noocastle NSW in 1968 while on HMS Puma - good times! My love and regards to Carol Wallis from Dennison Street who showed me such love and understanding during our stay in the city - I would have gladly married her had the circumstances been different Lovely city lovely people - what's not to like?
It was bad weather and an extremely rough sea with strong winds which pushed the ship to the shore. Nothing to do with ' a clever captain'. But you're the local expert I suppose who didn't check out the initial reports.
We had a salvage operation with underwater welders repairing a ship before it could be floated to be towed away..it took 3 weeks.. Bruce Mines, Ontario Canada.. one of the big Great Lake freighters carrying trap rock, had 13 holds.
Thats a terrible thing to say.....the watch team were responsible for not seeing that the anchor had slipped in bad weather..read the introduction idiot...
It is truly irritating to see a professional who has to describe his job and what they are doing and they will do next by constantly reading from the paper. If my sales director would be like that I would not just fire him but burry him so deep that he would be dead as far as commerce is concern. Not capable to say few sentences without reading them is not a sign of great intellectual level. Well I guess that we Germans are a bit more straight forward than relaxed and easy going Ozie.
In today's litigation based world someone has to be found to be at fault. I'm sure the statements he was giving were written and reviewed by legal and PR teams. The effort will have been focused to ensure any potential ability to pin blame on the salvage team should the recovery go wrong has been removed. He also has to be careful not to implicate his customer, owners and the insurance company. I thought overall he did a pretty good job but again I appreciate he was doing exactly what he was told to do. Read this and don't deviate from the script. My opinion anyway ....
@@goleafsgo8496 Yes I agree with you in that. Today we are truly in the world where wrong word might cost a lot, so it is better to be safe than sorry.
I think your comments is premature. He's a technician nota sales person. I personally hate the commercial people they always trying to sell a lot of deep-fried air. If that is your attitude towards your personal i don't think you have a lot of people working for you.
I can pretty much do every job very quickly and efficiently on a truck but sometimes find it hard to put it in words, so I'd probably write down notes when going on national television
Says the expert who wouldn't know one end of ship from the other. Remind me who salvaged the ship again? I suspect this was a political demand so they had someone to blame if it went pear shaped. By the way its "you're" not "your" seeing as you seem a bit of a pedant.
verjon and twice probably would’ve been necessary not every time they did something. Drew probably had never been in front of media cameras before and was loving being the centre of attention, just look at the difference between the first time in front of the camera and the last and tell me he weren’t loving it
Yawn. No big drama. Ship driven onto beach. Assessment made. Wait for high tide. A secondhand cable broke. Got a new one. Pulled it off the beach. Shit video made. Big PR stunt. Yawn.
The salvage master came across as a true professional, as someone who spent 23 years at sea I've got a lot of time for him and his team, good job well done.
We do not seek accolades or awards. We do what we do and move on. Well said that man.

This happened nearly 14 years ago, was always interesting driving past and seeing her there on the beach.

Totally agree we have plenty of Hot air here in the US
Nobody should even entertain the bastards...
Too bad they can’t use the hot air to refloat sunken ships.

Wow if there was a way to pump all that hot air from the politicians into the ship, job could of been done in a hour or two.....
I disagree lol
Most politicians are like crayfish
Brains are full of the brown stuff heehehe
That politician, Joe Tripodi, has a “colourful” history.
You could have floated it off the reef like a hot air balloon.

Gotta love the professionalism on display here!
Professionalism, ha! PR Bullshit.
I love watching these salvage videos - these men are amazing! what a remarkable story of planning, to get to a favorable outcome! Well done! :)
As soon as i found out Lube oil was involved, i new it would need a big tug or 3.
Great job by experts from three countries which made a tough salvage job possible thus averting what would have been an ecological disaster. Looking at the rough seas this should be seen as a warning for the future that an event of this nature could repeat itself. Hats off to Svitzer.

He is 🤣🤣
I believe he later had to resign from State politics !!
He was as corrupt as they come!

Born and raised in Newcastle and know this incident well.
So concentrating on the result, not the cause, do you consider the outcome a good result? Just curious.

Ahh, okay clear now, so thanks. Kinda thought, even given the little I know of the history/dangers there it was a decent result
Yeah they were trying to "jump the queue" - by staying inshore whilst others went out to sea as directed - then when it was too late / dangerous they tried to move out to sea and got washed back onto the beach. Very bad decision by the captain / vessel master.
What about damages to the natural reef any news on that front?
Great documentary! A job well done!
Silly thing ! This is a commercial ... not a documentary.
What's the cost here?
Insurance

Pasha is a extensive family in the Marine business. Knew one of them, not the sharpest knife in the drawer
Unmatchable around the world ...
Was there the night they got it off the beach it was one hell of a storm that put her there
Dutch, German Brits in charge of Svitzer ops do not go on like this Aussie does
Let them do their job and keep politicians out of it. Michigan
Yeah, Tripodi was bent AF, most people still wonder how he stayed out of prison.
Why make a soap out of it?
I've often wondered by the helicopters don't just land on the deck/ground?
Huh. They land on purpose built helipads on ships in good weather. When a ship is on the shore with waves breaking over the top of it, landing on a helipad is too risky. And as for landing on shore,eg at the carpark,park, well if they have a rope hanging off the helicopter there is the risk it fouls.. catches something.. what if the wind changes and they have to fly off ??

Great 👍 job
Can you imagine the bill for this? pretty expensive deal.
Can you imagine the cost of replacing the ship or scrapping it where it laid?
Nothing like a big tug
That's what I said to my missus.
I remember this storm and grounding. They did a great job getting off that reef.
It was on a Sandy beach not a reef. Had it been on rock, MUCH more damage and MUCH harder salvage.
Aaaagh, that guy Drew was piling on the melodrama. He'd make a good Emergency Services Minister, or a Police spokesman, for that matter.
I guess that was a case of 'Coal to New Castle'?
Impressive job!
I'm glad they decided to leave the lube oil onboard!
Nothing's gay once you're underway.
360p ... It's been a while!
i thought they were gonna attach like 80 helicopters and pick it up
Gosh, thank God for the politician! Would have been disasterous without him!
The salvage team really needed his help.! lol
Thanks for Australia
There is no way that photo taken is real. I was there I saw it and it looked nothing like it.
What happened to the clever captain that put the vessel aground.
It was bad weather and an extremely rough sea with strong winds which pushed the ship to the shore. Nothing to do with ' a clever captain'. But you're the local expert I suppose who didn't check out the initial reports.
What about the fact that there was next to no ballast in the ship and the captain was not on the bridge when the ship ran aground.
