    The video witnesses the attempts made by the captain of Greek NEL LINES Ferries 'THEOFILOS' in Myrina's harbour (Lemnos Island,Greece) to safely anchor in an afternoon of horor, after the ferry dragged the anchor of a fuel carrier ship (already anchored) about 150meters away from dock and towards Greek Navy ship, escaping a collision last minute !
    Video is over an hour shrank in fast motion. Ferry left afterwards, to another local bay to get wind protection,returned after some hours an left again.
    Watch LEFT anchor of ferry still dragging the chain of fuel ship !

    As a captain I was impressed at how this Captain maintained control of his ship despite the very challenging weather conditions. He had a real sense of where the stern was and managed to keep it away from danger. All hands served as excellent lookouts, no doubt communicating the sterns position to the master. Lots of very close calls, but he managed to keep his bow into the wind much of the time. Very difficult feat to do with the winds he was battling..

    In small greek islands, people wait the boat as it is their only communication with the rest of the world. Having this in mind, I can understand the efforts of the captain to reach the port, and I congratulate him for his superb skills.

    When I was working toward my licence many years ago I had a Captain who seemed to the whole crew to be the worst of the Captain Bligh model. He use to come up with all sorts of situations that the crew thought completely remote and a waste of time. It took me many years to appreciate his style. Being ready for the unknown is what it's all about! It's obvious that this Captain knew the area (you're right) but was having problems getting things coordinated. Bet they all know now!!!

    This is a very interesting video for us docking nerds.Unfortunately we don't see the circumstances in which the ferry skipper first dropped his port anchor.He almost got his ship lined up and secured to the unloading ramp, but the two stern warps weren't up the task of holding her in the gale. All he needed to do was give intermittent bursts ahead on the port engine with the wheel over to port. That would have taken some of the pressure off the stern warps until further lines were secured.

    @karilee22 12 років тому +1

    The pilot has lots of guts trying the landing and almost made it the second time,but as a master myself i would have left the harbour after that and waited for the wind to settle down.The company was probably pressuring him to come in as it seems to be even more windy when he is trying it in the dark.

  • @LemnosExplorerDotCom

    thats very true. if you notice the old dock (foreground) has lots of damage inc some holes in the cement layer at the end of dock (not visible). cement layer was about 30cm thick and when sea/ salt water penetrated under the blocks the holes became obvious. now it is not used frequently.

  • @royrobson2694

    The wind in Greece is so relentless and their tiny little harbours are often shit and offer no shelter. That is to say that the waves aren't the problem here but the non-stop wind on such an old ship is crazy. This captain's got balls of steel and i salute him. Saw a ferry captain in Paros, Greece once make 2 attempts to moor the boat. I'd rather leave my car behind and take the speed catamarans...

  • @user-dl4yf4bf3u
    @user-dl4yf4bf3u 11 років тому +2

    My opinion in that fact is that the Greek Captains are brave because of two reasos 1.The Greek Islands have very small ports and 2.The weather is not helpfull at all the times that they try to proced. Also the ships are very large for that ports... And the ship i very important for the people who lives in the islands...!!!

  • @opossom1968
    @opossom1968 12 років тому

    good job by the skipper, using his anchor as a pivot.
    this is a huge boat to be so precise as to not hit anything or tangle in his own anchor line.
    the conditions for docking where deplorably bad, with over 3 story's of ship acting as a sail trying to push you into the dock, been there not fun.
    all you can hope for is to not hit anything, because no mater what, the wind is going to make you look very bad.
    the captain did a great job of looking bad and not hitting anything.

  • @axios76

    I work on double ender ferries. I understand your sarcasm, but I am not judging the captain, just saying my observation. He clearly reduced the pitch and stopped maintaining the ships position by the engine, when they attached the first line. How can you do that in a weather like this. Obviosly that is why the rope parted, because it was not strong enough. In a normal weather that maight have been their normal procedure, but not in that case.

    Skipper did all he could in appalling conditions. Just wondering why he chose to drop his port anchor instead of his starboard. With the starboard anchor down he could have maneuvered back towards the pier and tied off aft on his starboard side. Still, very tricky in a very small harbor with that amount of windage; glad he chose to get the hell out of there.

    No,that wouldn't have worked. any burst on the port engine with the helm hard over would have in any case pushed the ship ahead. They could have given two lines instead of one from the starboard side. Probably that only rope was in bad conditions, otherwise it could have supported the strain. Maybe a small tug or a mooring men boat employed in pushing the ship from the port side could have helped.The port anchor was correctly dropped to help the turning manoeuvre. I'm a Tugboat Captain.

    The screw up was the aft deck crew, not the captain. Had they moderated tension on the starboard stern line until they got several warps ashore it would have not ended like that. Then they fail to wind the snapped line up quickly enough allowing it to foul the prop(s). I would fire the aft deck crew and whatever mate was in charge.

    If he was so skilled, why when they got the stern lines, he didnt try to align the stern with the dock, by going astern, but instead he stayed there relying on only one secured line and anchor to hold the whole ship against the wind, which at that point was almost abeam. He should have helped those lines with the engines, until the ships get closed and they double the stern springs for the final berthing.
