Massive Norwegian AHTS Ship in Action! The life of a Sailor! Operation and accommodation!

- This is a video with clips from the life and operations onboard an Norwegian anchor handler vessel. Hardworking guys. The ship is one of the most powerful ship's in the world. Connecting and towing rig's in The North Sea.
Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels are mainly built to handle anchors for oil rigs, tow them to location, and use them to secure the rigs in place. Many of these vessels are designed to meet the harsh conditions of the North Sea. hey also provide towing assistance during tanker loading, deepwater anchor handling, and towing of threatening objects.
Facinating processes illustrating the importance of good teamwork especially as it applies to safety. There are a lot of ways of getting hurt or killed on the afterdeck of an AHTS vessel.
Thank you for not adding any background audio. The narural sounds of the procedures are better than any techno-beat audio.
Tough job undertaken by professional guys. I worked offshore for 25yrs, the last 4 of which was on a Norwegian heavy construction vessel, manned by Norwegian marine crew. Apart from Kumla on Thursday which was rank, it was an excellent vessel and they were all great guys who were good at their jobs. It was a pleasure to work with them. I do miss that Snuse though.
You got to be from the westcoast to enjoy that komle!
@@sdoc3 if its the version with no meat inside the komle. then I agree with op
i worked offshore for 25 years myself. i was a welder/millrite/ pipe fitter and i miss the job and the great money i made. after i got out of the army i used my GI Bill for welding school. 2y ears later i got lucky and was able to get a job working on offshore rigs in the gulf of mexico and the north sea. i was 24 when i got the job and making that kind of money at that age made me a very hardworking person. i wanted to retire by 50 and not 70. pulled it off too. now 25 years later i have way more free time to bang me wife 33 years
Loved this! It's a real peak into life at sea, and the heavy equipment was huge.
Wow - that is one nice ship!! Big, comfortable bridge with a small lounge. The Sky Lounge for the crew is a really nice touch. I worked on AH ice-breakers in Canada's arctic for many years. Setting and pulling 15-tonne Bruce anchors. Great food, great pay, good crews (mostly). It was an exciting time.
I see there are lots of empty seats up in the bridge, are they hiring? I could handle being the guy that orders the grub.
@georgerenton965 the bridge will usually have 2 officers at any 1 time. Usually a Master or Mate to drive / SDPO and a 2/O or 3/O DPO on the winch. Might be a client rep there during operations too. Usually an OOW, and lookout at night when transiting / towing
That's a hard dangerous job
I'm very impressed how clean and organized the ship is
Norwegian standard
exactly. @@Y7X7
Worked on one rig for many years ....doing anchor and rig moves ...the guys on anchor handlers have it harder than we had ... especially in the N.Sea...
Jobbet noen år på rigg. Alltid gøy å jobbe sammen med matrosene under flytting av rigg =)
Kjekt det🤠
I used to be a USN officer in deck ops (1st Lieutenant/1st Division). I LOVE WATCHING THIS VIDEO. A huge difference is that for all night ops we would have a chemlight on our kapok vest.
i went from a deck officer to an offshore AHTS captain. the Navy crews were beginners at seamanship compared with offshore work.
@@jmyers9853 Because you have a lot of turnover of sailors. The dfifference is that merchant mariners can't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.
Great video! Sometimes miss the time as an anchorhandler AB, but that is 10 yrs and 15 kilos since..😅 Never been that fit since..😂
great upload - I have never seen those hydraulic bollards before! I've seen a few videos of these operations - but none of them showed that much detail - thanks a lot
My only real experience of the seas is on Finnish cruiseferries. 😅 (Can get quite rough on the Baltic sea during a storm, too.)
I really appreciate the professionalism you show here. There are tremendous forces at work, and it shows you have safety as priority. 👍Of course, working with heavy machinery is never totally risk-free.
The ship looks nice and comfortable, your home away from home. 🙂
Excellent footage! Thanks for sharing. The size of those chains and stuff, amazing! Would love to see more about how those chain links are taken apart and the different types of them.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@norway.maritime second this.. would love to see a video expanding on the different types of links and their purpose. u guys are doing a special job here, by documenting it on the net for all of us to experience and witness it is truly a gift. thank u.
@@norway.maritime l lo
That is absolutely beautiful scenery. I would love to be in the Norwegian Fjords. That is some amazingly hard work. I would absolutely love to do this kind of work.
Thank you:)
I have so much respect for these men! Just watching this gave me anxiety and trouble breathing.
Ohøj sømand! Excellent footage! Stay safe and healthy 🌊✌🏻
Incredible Job ! Thanks for sharing, guess is not easy to film while working
Thank you🤗 it’s not easy. But it helps with a gopro on my helmet;)
@@norway.maritime yes yes definitely :)
I am also on AHTS vessel now mate here in middle east working as AB. Love to work someday in like these Norwegian vessel.
Thank you for not putting this to that stupid “yoho” pirate song. Great vid!
I don' know what I like more, the inside of the ship or the distance on that air cannon...
Definitely need your steel caps on that job!
Based job done by based Men! Building and maintaining prosperity for their Country and People! Salute from Italy
Bonito barco,buen trabajo,saludos desde España
Brilliant stuff real world job 👍,,I work repairing ships in Belfast,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ biggest respect for the job you do 👍
Brilliant footage and respects to all the crews out there. This is showing one of the thousands import but not seen jobs that makes the world as we know it tick. Meanwhile the politicians and the environmental desk jockeys wants us to rely on windmills and solar panels....
Thank you ⚓️
You are aware that similar ships are required for the installation and maintenance of offshore wind farms?
No?
@@brendancooney9401 yes, waste of time though.
@@juleol99 yes, let's just continue burning fossil fuels to generate power.... That will last long and be good for us in the long run. Jesus Christ you gotta be a special kind of ignorant to not understand that we need to shift away from oil. Not just because it's killing us with climate change, but it's going to run out. So we will have to either we want to or not.
@@juleol99 Why? Energy diversification is good. For example Norway can help but cannot fill the gap left by the Russians.
I’m retired washed over board twice thank GOD I was brought out!
Every Day i learn new things. Im over 50 and a landlubber, but I have never seen a chain where I can split individual links. However, I have little to do with chains in my life, apart from bicycles and other things ;-)
Awesome video! This technology and equipment has evolved over the last 50 years, the result of the money poured into oil and gas extraction. We got to see you work on the really nice days, I hate to think what that job is like when the swells are running 3 meters or more! Stay safe,' think first.
There are obviously limitations due to weather.
If the swells get too big, you risk the chains to jump over the pols, and if it does.. then baaad thing can happen
That’s a beautiful day, imagine doing this in a big swell
Beautiful! I would like to work in a place like this.
The afterdeck of an AHTS vessel probably has more ways for a seaman to get seriously hurt or killed than anyplace else; land or sea.
Good teamwork means everyone goes home alive and in one piece.
As a fisherman, ime looking at that thinking its all waiting to kill you, in very painful ways. I was allways told as a youngster dont mess with tug crews . Pussies need not apply.
I miss anchor handling work but my body does not these days😂
Seeing as you are supposed to be working or if not on watch, not getting in the way then you got some good footage, I like the 'line guns' and getting those two huge tugs stern to stern at sea is skill, thanks.
Just came across this now can get my fix again after Big wavemaster1 I miss that channel.
Amazing and very dangerous, but rewarding. Great job….
good nautical information here... thanks and greetings from tasmania
I like this job very much, it's on the deck where the boy is cry and the mother doesn't see....
Flere slike filmer 👍😃. Godt nytt år 🥳
Bra du likte den:) Godt nyttår🎉
Appreciate it fascinating video and it's helpful to understand how they are working on ship
This is a good video! Stian is the coolest person i know!! 💖
This is a nice view of the life of a though sea man🥰
oh, I have been under that bridge before... I miss those days
Those lounges making me jealous!
good job boys work safe always from canada
Great job guys love it 😊
Look at all the stuff going on such a dangerous job, respect!
Thank you. It’s quite a job ⚓️
Very well done.True and accurate. I always say it from the other end of the chains.
I need that job 😊
Great film
This infrastructure and equipment must cost millions in investment... I'd love to come on board and crew for a supply vessel scheduling 🙂
Investments making billions! It's questionable if a landlubber without maritime qualifications can join this sort of vessel.. Contact relevant shipping agents
@@OmmerSyssel For your information, I'm NOT a landlubber as you call it...
A fascinating process to watch! I only wish there had been more narration to help understand the operations better.
Great content. Bless.
What an interesting job
Need to make one about the engineers fixing all the stuff the sailors break. 1AE Unlimited motors
Wish the UK looked after their seafarers as well as the Norwegians do for theirs.
So awesome
Great video ! Thanks for posting it . Harsh working environment. Be safe!!!! God bless you all!
The oil company whinning about norway gov't regulation is tough and rough well.the video expose true.lots contry like north sea,gulf mecico,south america so on lack regulation and safety.norway come long way as today.here canada ocean ranger expose lots gov't get too much slack off we saw results.thanks video😊
Cool ! that ship looks comfy !! I would love to ride out a storm in a beautiful ship like that. are you hiring ?
Oh! With that line gun I could be Batman.
Yes. You could ⚓️
Check out those launchers at 12:03
It's a shame Farstad are no longer. I worked for them in Australia
Siem offshore Good job
Trabalho árduo!
Bravo😊
Bravo..........what's for dinner........no beer ........12 on 12 off.........cheers
Impressing in every aspect. One wrong move on a ship like this, and it is goodbye.
Miss anchor handling Job 💪
Miss it
Is this part of the Nordstream 2 repairs?
It’s not:)
Man’s work
Возьмите на работу =)
How often do you get seasick? I'd be a terrible sailor because of that lol, but damn I'd love a job on a ship
Many experienced sailor and fisher get sea sick, only few will admit it ... 😉
The noises that anchor chain makes. Eesh.
dream job
if you need Able body.
i ready to joining any time sir/madan
i was experience for offshore vessel
13 years.thanks
I always hear people talk about how progressive the Scandinavian countries are but no women seem to be out at sea swinging sledgehammers.
12h shifts and 4on/4off?
6-6 shift
Whenever I see this sort of thing I can't help but wonder how many WW2 wrecks they may be passing over.
what is the purpose of an AHTS specifically?
How does someone even find, or get a job like this? Where would you start?
If you really want a job like this. You probably can find one:)
@@norway.maritime I guess what I'm asking is what would be the job title for this job? Deckhand? What school would you have to go to to qualify for this type of job?
@@BuceGar I believe education as a 'matros' ie sailor. Vocational school ?
Top
muscle thaat wire rope and winch chains will work your ass. damn i miss my job. getting old sucks. norway was my favorite country to work and visit. my mom is from ireland so i would also take some vacation time and visit family in dublin before heading home to florida. it also looked like somebody wasn't very familiar with a torch or a rosebud. the flame didn't look right
They have it so easy now with big ships and all the deck machinery, very different from the 1970's when I was doing this job
There are so many things waiting to kill you! Hats off to these workers who can handle it, i am certain i would be severely injured/killed due to my mind wandering within a few hours working on a ship.
Interesting to see but "Massive"?
To be an AHTS it’s massive:)
I love you ❤
Todo bonito.modernos remolcadores..gran plataforma.pero con matrícula panameña😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤔Maybe you there need a *Tugboat?* 😁
Kapal besar yang sangat canggih 13:58
was there in 1972 ECOFISK anchor handling, this is the worst camera work on you tube, ha ha
And how is that? Can you do better?
I am in favor of an all-female quota on your ships. We don't want to ignore the ladies
👌👊👊👊
Everyone just wanted to see the dining room and living quarters. The rest is b_roll.
Looks like hard and dangerous work even when the weather is “ friendly “ . Not a place for nitwits 😂
THERE IS NO DIVERSITY IN THIS CREW! WHERE ARE THE WOMEN!? HAHAHAHA
how can be like the mang inasal video
Real man’s job!!!
How much is the salary of those man about?
@0:14 coffee
Where are all the strong independent women?
Having less children so we can replace men with robots.
Will be there in 25 years don’t worry ❤ world has to change a lot and not to tell girls are weak…
@@Kcs2123facts don’t care about feelings sorry to say😂woman are not physically strong enough for some jobs. Deal with that fact😂
@@Kcs2123why aren’t you there now?
@@adam90670 some men aren’t made for this hard work either, some women could do. I’m aware in many ways men are stronger, but the same is true the other way around. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, so you had to comment, it was clearly triggering.
Quasi-spicy...
