Hey you say get back to sea. I from N.Y. do heavy construction for a living. Weld touch cut all that . I have a burning desire to work on ship. Cargo, tug, how do u get started onto working on ships? Thx
Guys, for those who are complaining about my music choice, I'm sorry for that but I am just a Tugboat officer and not a professional video maker. If you would like to hear the engines of this tug, please check out the video called: Starting a main engine of the FM Glacier. It's without any music and you will only hear the norse of machinery. All the best
In all honesty that harsh music detracts from the video. My recommendation if you are at least interested in improving your skills and increasing your subscribers is not into stick a music track over the ambient sounds. It is much more interesting to listen to just the sounds of the ship which is very important aspect of the video experience.
Outstanding .. I am from Cape Town act saw the tug on the fuel jetty. Awesome to see what act happened with her.... Must have been a legendary trip and sure you know all the crews life stories :-)..... Thanks For the video.
its a dated vessel nothing impressive. week thrusters..ehhh.. I was onboard the vessel last 2018 and the sister ship on 2019 -2021..its just for towing mainly.. no gym. accommodation is nothing compared to Norwegian offshore vessels.
Recently I followed the Fairmount Glacier accompanying the Hawk carrying the Transocean Winner to Aliaga in Turkey. They did not take the same route as the Hawk travelled below Crete while the Glacier did not. They seem to meet at Aliaga were the Glacier paced the area around Aliaga for some time. Then it went back to Malta and I saw it entering the Grand Harbour to the most inner part at Marsa which is now rented for the oil industry use . It was a spectacular sight seeing it from St Elemo at Valletta on my little 70 cc motorcycle. I beat it all the way to Marsa! even though I do not have the same bollard pull! Seems to be a powerful tug though I never saw it travel at more than 11 knots. At the moment it is on Hurds bank in Malta where a long time ago we fished for deep fish. At the moment it is surrounded by many other ships anchored there offshore. Brings back nice memories of my youth.
Great video! I deck on a towboat, working inland waterways in the US, but considering getting my MMC to hire on as an AB with a blue water outfit. I spent some time on a container ship when I was in the Marine Corp, and I loved it. I miss the sea!
Didn't realize the shear size of the boat until the end... WOW that's impressive 👍🤙... Thanks for sharing your video... and remember..."safety first"...
My family is sea-going people, very nice video, a beautiful ship and quite an adventure it seems! Cheers! Edit> And yes the music is sort of meh, much rather have a narration from the person there. Just a thought.
my father was a navy fleet tug sailor in the early 60's. During his 20 years in the navy, and serving on other ships. He never really felt like a sailor like he did on the USS SIOUX.
Damm good video! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together. Keep the music on, it's way better than hearing the engines and the wind. After years on tugboats, I can tell you that I would rather not hear the engines when I'm off my tug.
Ik heb inderdaad stage gelopen bij Fairmount voor mijn MarOff opleiding. Als je wat van de wereld wilt zien dan moet je niet op een zeesleper gaan varen, je zit ongeveer 80% van de stageperiode op zee. Soms lig je bijvoorbeeld 1 maand voor anker en vervolgens ben je bijvoorbeeld 3 maand aan het slepen. Soms doen slepers een haven aan, dit is meestal om snel te bunkeren, proviand in te slaan of een crewchange te doen. Gr Jan
I need to work for these companies. This pisses me off big time and I have never tried my hand at competitive shooting but could probably do pretty well and would love the opportunity to eliminate these f'n scumbags that try to pirate a ship and would likely desire less than half what the current security gets paid!! I am a USMC trained "Rifle Expert". I was a great shot prior to my entry into the military and an even better one after boot camp, which was very long ago. The last time I went to an indoor range I used a Bersa Thunder .380 and a Lorcin (now gone) chrome plated .380, backed the target up as far as it could go-indoor range, I think the max distance was 50' or 50 yards, then picked a spot on the target (Silhouette), on the upper right side. I exhausted 7 rounds and I brought back a target with a hole a bit smaller than a U.S. "quarter Dollar". I have some significant disabilities and have been repeatedly denied disability benefits but, if what I have seen is even minimally accurate, then I might be able to offer you some great service and at a fraction of what other professionals get paid. Please let me know if you may be interested in my services and what I may need to do to provoke you into incorporating my abilities. I noticed that some men have recently been "kidnapped" by scumbags from the prime areas for piracy and would love a chance at deterring that kind of desire or consideration! I don't know that I could help or not but I'd love to be given the opportunity to try! Thanks so much for any consideration. Thom McHugh
+Garundi P. McGrundy Thanks! good to hear. I'm now onboard of another tugboat, the 'ALP Winger'. When I'm home I will make also a video about the sailing trip with this tug. Stay tuned!
John Bernard When you would like to become a Sailor on a seagoing vessel, you need first to get alot of certificates. They test if you are suitable and in good condition to be able to sail.
The angle of photography leaves a lot to desire, why so much deck water show, and then the chain dropping a few ling. what purpose, the cabling being spooled would have a description. Overhall, not a bad video, Editing is a must.
Nice video, it sparked a burning need to get back to sea. Thank you!
Hey you say get back to sea. I from N.Y. do heavy construction for a living. Weld touch cut all that . I have a burning desire to work on ship. Cargo, tug, how do u get started onto working on ships? Thx
Really enjoyed watching this with my 4yr old son. He loves tugboats and this was really cool. Thanks!
He certainly like taking pictures of the floor
As a man of the sea myself... I say screw those who don't like the music... and Damn great video. There's nothing that can take place of the sea.
Guys, for those who are complaining about my music choice, I'm sorry for that but I am just a Tugboat officer and not a professional video maker. If you would like to hear the engines of this tug, please check out the video called: Starting a main engine of the FM Glacier. It's without any music and you will only hear the norse of machinery. All the best
Plus it's easy to mute and listen to something else :)
In all honesty that harsh music detracts from the video. My recommendation if you are at least interested in improving your skills and increasing your subscribers is not into stick a music track over the ambient sounds. It is much more interesting to listen to just the sounds of the ship which is very important aspect of the video experience.
Do you mute movies or documentaries as well?
I actually like the music in the video, after a while on a tugboat you get used to the sound of the engine
I thought the music was great
Outstanding .. I am from Cape Town act saw the tug on the fuel jetty. Awesome to see what act happened with her.... Must have been a legendary trip and sure you know all the crews life stories :-)..... Thanks For the video.
I liked this video and even though I expected something different, found it very
relaxing. Great to see clear seas. Subscribed.
Nice video man! Thank you for letting us into your world!!
ThaOlBoy your welcome
What does this video have to do with 'life onboard a tugboat'?? I see images of the ship, but no details of what it is like for the crew.
ABs are retards.
They make videos like this all the time.
it's a tugboat, what did you expect?
I was hoping to see footage of the bridge, crew accommodations, galley, etc. I did enjoy it. Thanks.
its a dated vessel nothing impressive. week thrusters..ehhh.. I was onboard the vessel last 2018 and the sister ship on 2019 -2021..its just for towing mainly.. no gym. accommodation is nothing compared to Norwegian offshore vessels.
She’s a small ship to be doing anchor clanker operations.
Nice vid, enjoyed watching.

594 days at sea thank you for posting GREAT VIDEO keep the good work up

Anchor handling. One of the hardest jobs!! I love it!
I have an rc model of the fairmount expedition, love your video...
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. Thank you for sharing.
Always had a soft spot for tugboats
I really appreciated this video. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Very nice video. Nice experience with a tug boat..Wow!
These ocean tugs are incredible boats- fast, capable of towing large vessels across any ocean while turning on a dime.
my father was a navy fleet tug sailor in the early 60's. During his 20 years in the navy, and serving on other ships. He never really felt like a sailor like he did on the USS SIOUX.
Thank you for sharing your story Joy.
Always liked tugboats👍
Would have loved to see what life is like inside the Tug for 6 months.
CDH Shame I did not record it, but it was a great time, great tug.
I'm 50 and looking for a new job, how would I get into this profession?
I'm in California.
Check out a forum called gcaptain. Lots of information on maritime employment.
Damm good video! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together. Keep the music on, it's way better than hearing the engines and the wind. After years on tugboats, I can tell you that I would rather not hear the engines when I'm off my tug.
Hey Alex, good to hear from you mate. Thanks for your comment.
you must be a total idiot
great video, always thought about working on a ship when I was younger, but went to work on locomotives instead.
Wow great awesome video thanks for the upload
Great footage and well put together.
Thanks man! Appreciate your comment
tuglife
Wow the colors really pop in this video
i saw this tug in kingston harbor yesterday :D, welcome to jamaica lol
I happen to like that music. kind of goes with the ocean.
Wow such nice video
BEST JOB IN THE WORLD!!! I LOVE IT!
Love this Video!!! Keep making them!!
Love tug boats their is some boats i like more then others like tugs and large sail boats
Beautiful and slightly terrifying at the same time. The power of the ocean. Scary.
Thanks for commenting! :)
Saw the second largest Oil Platform in the Golf of Mexico parked by the car ferry at Port Aransas, Texas about late March 2016. tjl
Pretty good video mate !!
nice ship.
love offshore tug 😍😍
That vessel is actually an AHTS..Anchor Handling Towing Supply Vessel
That is right, it is not a tug
Nice job well done!
Cool video, and what is the first song if I may wonder?
Was dit voor je marof stage? Twijfel n beetje of offshore wat voor me is want wil ook graag wat van de wereld zien. T lijkt alsof je veel op zee zit

That things really underpowered for its size
I'm a maintenance tech for a chemical company in Kentucky id love to be on the ocean where do you put in a app.
Hey what is the breaking strain of 76mm (3" for the yanks) tow cable?
Great video BTW.
Nice video.
How long did you board on offshore vessel?
Nice one my brother.. I am a deck cadet on board tug...I need a mentor in my profession... Thank you all.
I work un campeche oil field .un big ocean TUGS.from LA. TX. Tampico tuxpan coatzacoalcos dos bocas campeche. Rouge job hard boys.
7:13 Hope you were lucky enough to get supplies after that fiasco.
That was funny as shit, when the supply boat rammed the ship. it's like a mosquito bite in comparison, when it bumped the ship.
So...do i want to work on a supply boat or tugboat?? Someone help me
0:30 is the proof that ships can go through land.
I need to work for these companies.

what does that have to do with anything related to this video Moron
Hi.. Could you give me the name of the tug boat company.. I'm interest to work on ship especially in Europa..i'm indonesian.
This video is the coolest. Can't seem to find anymore like it!
+Garundi P. McGrundy Thanks! good to hear. I'm now onboard of another tugboat, the 'ALP Winger'. When I'm home I will make also a video about the sailing trip with this tug. Stay tuned!
Tug boat or crew boat is better bro plz tell me???
so wherei THE life onboard?
Telling us about it would be much more interesting than the damn music.
Watching paint dry has more context
go read a book focus on yourself and stop the BS
Who played this on ship sim 2008?
What is the title of the music
Just WHAT did I just see? I didn't see any "life on a tugboat".
I'm a mechanic trying to land a job as a deckhand on tugboats. is there any certifications that will help me get hired?

ship sim 2008, except its the glacier not the sherpa
Who sings this song
So whats the TRB of ?
Ah Oceans, my love!!
The angle of photography leaves a lot to desire, why so much deck water show, and then the chain dropping a few ling. what purpose, the cabling being spooled would have a description. Overhall, not a bad video, Editing is a must.
First off, thanks for your subscription. And I'm aware that I didn't made this vid perfect, sorry for that.
Was very surprised trinidad was here #triniforlife
Greetings from cold Finland. Did you find mermaid? all the best
Lõdva Ranne No, didn't find one. Greetings from Holland👍🏻
How much money did you make?
I don't know why people are hating on the music I love it
So what's life like on a tugboat? Caribbean Ocean? I hope you're not the navigator.
There's no oil rigs in the Caribbean. Theres rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. This vessel is a anchor handling supple vessel.
TUGLIFE 4rm Cape Town🤙⛓
Nice 👍🏾
Very nice video! Good music. At what speed you were towing at 2:45? Looks pretty fast to me.
This is a Rig Supply Vessel not really a Tug..
It's an ocean going tug, believe me
What is the names of the song in this video
Where I'm from
I like the music - I HATE that it ruined this video!
I dont think you would call this a tug boat it seems like more of a supply boat that makes trips to oil rigs
I worked on them, they can do cargo runs to oil rigs, but she's designed to do long distance tow job.
Nice job. Fuck the haters!
This vessel would be useless in the North Sea. Underpowered.
Told me nothing. I wanted to know what life was like on board, in the cabins, the galley, the engine room.
Graham Bentley For the engine room, please check my other video. Cabin and galley was not that spectaculair actually😉
Музыка хорошо подобрана.)))
Oh man. Sea sick.
Jan goede keuze muziek man !!!
Video fine 👍 Music fine 👌 Ship fine 😛 Sea fine 💋 Everything fine 👏
to live on a board u need to be an Jean Claude Van Damme (The Quest moofy)

Hello, can i ask this company?
Up to you
@@JanDootjes 🙏
Floor, floor and more floor.
5:55...CARIBBEAN OCEAN????...MMMMM
Anchor Handling.
You make fi fi bows at 4:58
Tug? Looks more like anchor handler
You are right, it is not a tug, it is AHTS
