- For the second time this year a ship has run aground at the mouth of Silloth harbour. The vessel, 89.88m Cargo ship Bremen which flies under the flag of Cyprus, left Klaipeda in Lithuania on May 2 and arrived at Silloth at around 11.20pm on the 7th of May. Bremen re-floated with the next tide and enteredSilloth harbor at 12:10pm.

That "harbor" looks better suited for kayaks. ;-}
The "Harbour" has great potential for a pleasure boat basin plus a hardstand .. many Solway ports , some historic all can reap benefits from pleasure boating , sail ,power and even build and repair ..
Shame on the local Port Authority. No dredging, no nautical signals...😮
What makes you think that you know what you're talking about?
Associated British Ports own the harbour but announced on 12th March 2024 the plan to sell it and Fleetwood docks to the Fox Group. I think ABP still own Silloth harbour now; therefore, they are responsible for dredging, pilotage of ships and maintenance. Perhaps they have skimped on dedging because they are selling the port?
As a Professional Mariner I will say we all loathe these “tide jobs” where you have a finite window to get in with minimum under clear clearance and ticking clock to get it done or call it off. These places have no room for error, and minimum margin of safety. That ship now must be surveyed at great expense, and by the way the aft section is hanging unsupported that ship has suffered hogging stress. Being a foreign ship they were relying on the guidance of the pilot to safely get them in. If they had never been there before I’m sure the Master was thinking you want to take me where?! If he had been there before I’m sure his first thought was I hope I never go back there again.
That ship is probably fine. shallow draft boats like that are very robust
A bit of dredging wouldn’t be a bad thing here ! That sand reminds me of Blackpool!
@keithsaville entire country is a parody of itself now - everything grinding to a halt - insane times for sure .
A bit of dredging may be in order and while they are about it, they may want to do some maintenance on the lock gates as well.
The environment bods probably won't let them do any dredging
@@muckle8yep, and it will get much worse.. infrastructure is basically being destroyed in front of your eyes. I hear it weekly from people in meetings within the mining industry..
The Green BS is crippling the country, even developed nations by design..
@@muckle8 see my previous reply disappeared.. but totally agree. greenlings are the problem
The sand buildup to one side of the entrance says it all. It looks like there is no pilot for such a small harbour. A couple of those drone photos sent to any ships captain would make him aware of the danger but hey he might have been trying to enter on a falling tide.
That's true, but still, that buildup against the pilings could easily be cleared.. many places have a market for dredging tailings and or washed sand..worked on one project 25 yrs ago that started as a big cost to the port authority. now dredging pays for its self with the a market for dredged sand that's being used as fill on a new port extention.
That’s crazy allowing a ship to use a silted up harbour
The state of that dock is dreadful. An absolute disgrace.
Don't you just hate it when you have just got the leading marks lined up perfect and you grind to a halt.😂
French dredgers leave the dredgings just outside the harbour so that it all gets washed back in. It saves the fuel that taking it further offshore would use and it means they will be back to do it again soon. Win-win for them.
Yes it certainly looks a tight squeeze, Thanks for watching 👍
The correct approach is evident when the tide is out , its a different matter when the bars are covered with water. Who is responsible for dredging & the cost of?
Gust of wind and you're screwed.
Its pretty clear that the port authority need to do some dredging here and need to cover the costs of recovery, charts are probably correct, port at fault
From what we see here, some dredging would be beneficial, but it's easy to sit at home and criticise, I wouldn't want to put that ship in there, bloomin tight, with the Solway tidal flow, although it must have been attempted at hight tide, possibly as the tide turns, a test for any captain.
Great flight, I found out about when it was too late, pleased you got it. I would think they need to dredge around the harbour entrance, although with the constant shifting sand it would be a full time job.
Yes there is a dredger working away in the harbour, I don't know if it's going to dredge the outer tho, definitely could do with it. Thanks for watching David 👍
Wow great drone shots of the ship cool man, loved the video.
Thank you very much for watching mate 👍
Not surprised he got stuck ,the amount of shit that’s laying around the harbour entrance, obviously site maintenance is non existent!!!
I used to work at Carrs feed mill 77-82 and I remember the molasses tankers coming in like submarines and leaving like tower blocks. Also the harbour offloaded a big drum which I think was for the paper mills down the coast..
Not a difficult concept to understand that docks need to be dredged and kept clear, unless of course you are a British manager 🙄
That is NOT a channel I'd want to enter at 11:20 PM!!!! I get that they were constrained by tides & their schedule but man would I not want to try that at night, especially if it was my first time going into there! Brits have some crazy tidal harbors over there for sure!
Silloth is a strange sort of town, houses set back from the sea behind a large grassed area, and the roads built on a grid system, must be some historical significance ~
Built as a model resort town by the North British Railway, who also built
the dock. There used to be a picture in the Golf Hotel showing the artist's impression of the town. Only about half of it was built.
Just outside of Silloth is a cracking Old WW2 airfield was a Wellington Bomber Station if I recall correctly !
Yes that's correct, here's a link to an interesting vid about the history of the airfield.

@@CaptainChucklesuse to road race motorbikes there in 70s..
Wasn't Silloth a major trading center for the Vikings?
Thankyou for sharing. Great footage
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 👍
Silty harbour ... high tides
Dredging would sort it . Right round the UK nobody dredges now . Would prevent flooding in some areas
Great footage
Thank you very much 👍
Excellent pal
Cheers mate thanks for watching 👍
I could be wrong but I think that works better with water between the hull and the sand.
Sounds like that would need a lot of water, which would be super-expensive. Couldn't they just put wheels on it?
Can't park there mate!
Looking at the state of the inlet. Methinks a bloke with a good digger could clear that out in a day or so.
With such a high tide range (up to TEN METRES, THIRTY PLUS FEET), doing anything like that in the Solway is not something to be taken lightly, as soon as the tide turns you and your digger must get out or it will be underwater. South Coast yachties going on about tides in the mags know nothing, sail the Solway that teaches you!! 😊.
@@CrusaderSports250 yea worked across the other side ...Annan and Glencaple were at one time supposed to have a dredging program ..but that went out the door with the tide
Once high tide come in the ship wil be floating again
Wow cool video.👍👍
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Jesus, dredge the channel already! Are they trying to make it as hard as possible to get to the lock or what?
Great footage!
Thanks pal 👍
Call "Dredging International" ... ASAP
Mays well park a tractor trailer in a one car garage. With a sandy driveway.
Beached as, aye bro
90 meter , that can only straigt away sail inside, position was good, the slippery ground not, clean out that route...
A proper port would make sense. Why would owners risk this? What a blunder.
Since English is not my native language, it takes me a little longer to read the text displayed. However, due to the font you chose, I had a hard time deciphering it as it blends into the background. A font with a white border is the worst choice on a light background!
Thanks for the input, in future I will make the font and text easier to read 👍
@@cumbrianbodI am very thankful for that!👍
@@cumbrianbod Narrating it orally would be even better! No need to read stuff, then.
About 20 years ago, it was yearly dredged we worked around England in all small harbours nowadays, it is too expensive, but grounding A vessel seems to be more cheap, don’t understand it
I really thought that a ship flying under a flag would be a great aircraft. Ships normally fly the flag of registration country.
They should be in there to give it a coat of paint before the tide comes back in
Great footage it has inspired the missus and I to visit Silloth from Co. Durham. Well done! Did it refloat on the next tide?
Hi glad I inspired you both to visit and yes it refloated next tide. Thank you very much for the sub and for watching i really appreciate it 👍
Strange sort of town, well back from the coast, large grassed area and houses built on a grid system ~
COME BACK WALLY---- all is forgiven
I imagine that the impossibility of reliable provision of cooling water would require the immediate shut-down of all engines including those that provide lighting and hotel power. Cold suppers eaten in the dark that night?
Thanks for the video.
fairly sure they'll have a massive generator onboard like every other commercial vessel in the world
@@stephenauty2402
Indeed, but it would still need cooling water, which would not be available when hull is so far above the sea. I stand by my comment.
@@haroldsmith45302 You're 100% correct , I didn't think of that.
@@stephenauty2402
Except that I forgot that the generator for hotel power might have an air-cooled radiator instead of a sea-water cooled heat exchanger. If so then lighting and cooking etc. could continue even when hull is high above sea.
The only solution I see is to make a gate narrower and port shallower to raise level of danger or to ban ship smaller than 100m in lenght or 5000 tonnes to dock.
They can scrub the bottom whilst they wait for the tide to come in
I wonder who coughs up for losses incurred due to maybe late cargo discharging, damage to the ship's hull, surveys etc? It strikes me that this incident was due to the published chart depths not being maintained by timely dredging. Of course it may be that the approach to the habour was attempted when not enough water was available but I somehow doubt that one.
Could be a nice harbour😂
Heres hoping a solution is found. Ships running aground cant be structurally good. Shippong agents declining or cost loading deliveries to Silloth harms the factory, too many incidents and can insurance cover become a problem? Its not like Cumbria has many factories left, and anything sustaining sime international trade ought ot be worth hanging onto. Good luck Silloth, you might need it.
What was the Captain doing? Playing Suduko. There WAS water to float off so why not enter at a better state f tide. They do come twice a day.
Was thinking he was going to quit proper port. Turns out it was just a drainage ditch.
How do you know what the tide state was when the ship tried to enter?
That is not classified as a grounding as they have a rope ashore
Nice model, looks real.
How can one call it a 'harbour' when it has no water?
Did the dredge become stuck somewhere too? 😌
The channel, if that's what you want to call it, is not clearly marked, if at all.
deep-water port ca 1860s 🤦♂
time to go big,
or make it into museum
its 2024
What is there to guide ships in at night?
Hi, a ship pilot will be onboard any ship longer than 50 metres also navigation buoys at sea and on land navigation lights. Thanks for watching 👍
@@cumbrianbod Do you know why they are having problems? Is it just shifting banks in the supposedly clear channel?
@DanielsPolitics1 yes they seems to be a build up of sand and it is a very hard entrance to navigate with the tidal flow 90 degrees pushing the ship starboard
Wasxit a dredger ship, how embarassing woild that be lol. Whst was the name of the ship
Hi the name of the ship is Bremen. Thanks for watching 👍
The video captions clearly state that it's a freighter (so not a dredger) named _Bremen._
Was she loaded?
Yes Andrew I believe with fertilizer from Klaipeda, Lithuania.
@@cumbrianbod Thank you.
Local knowledge ??
Pilot onboard ?
Yes I believe so 👍
Not surprising is it??, badly needs dredging
how did it get beached?
It got stuck on the sand Owen 👍
It looks stinky and slimy
Hilarious
😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😮😮😅😅😅😅😮😢🎉😂😂😂😂😢
Ce port n'est pas du tout adapté pour recevoir des navires marchands et c'est même dangereux et scandaleux de voir ça , une honte !!
Exacement!
Erm 🫤 dredge the channel biggerer?? :)
