November 1991 I was in SuperTyphoon Yuri off the coast of Guam. And let me tell you. 300m ship or no. that was a dangerous storm. You never take the ocean for granted. Never
Inside a derelict supertanker in rough seas would be the perfect setup for a survival horror videogame. All those creepy clangs and noises really set an atmosphere.
I was on a vessel of the same size! It's a Panmax Vessel, right? In the Caribean Sea, near Freeport, we was suprised by an tropical storm! It was nice!^^ Good Video, greatings from Germany!
It's designed to bend, instead of break. Ever look out on the wing of a 747? The wings move up and down 3 or 4 feet or so, so the airplane can take the stress without breaking. Big skyscrapers do that too.
😮 Next time we complain about hi prices, sign on to one of these and go get your items yourself 😮😮😢.. They deserve their pay and more for what they do. It's not 🚫🚫 all a pleasure cruise 😮😢. Would I do it, no way.!!😮😮
great vid! couple years ago i was working off teh falkien islands for a sizmic company, we got caught in winds that where around 70 knots, and couldn't maker into the harbour outside of stanly. those deck shots remind me of why i like the engine room!
Wow... The elements have got some serious powers... Imagine all the tons of water pounding the hull, and what stresses it's gotta withstand... Now that's gotta be alot of power to make the hallway do that...
Autopilot sounds like it's on overdrive trying to keep the poor ship on course! Don't think I'd be outside in weather like that, looks bloody fun along the underdeck passageway though!
Just goes to show you even after more than 100 plus years since its development no building material beats steel if it is manufactured and welded right. It is not only strong but also flexible. Its major draw back is weight and lack of corrosion resistance.
It was fascinating to see your ship flexing in such heavy weather! Did you lose any containers in the storm? (they are occasionally washed up on the English Coast). I served in the Royal Navy and our much, much smaller ships spent most of the time under the water in such weather! I admire what you do! From a (very much) retired British Pusser.
Stunning to see the movements of the hull on the inside. Knew there would be some movement, but had never thougth that it would be that much. Keep up the brilliant ideas of good shots....
Fantastic footage.Respect to all you seamen. Didnt realise a ship flexs so much.And those noises inside the ship, amazing!!. Was there any structural damage to the ship after the storm?
Hi Arne, I am a mechanical engineering student and I have to complete a presentation on non-circular torsion applications, would you mind if I used some of the footage from this video as part of the presentation ?
i guess its the same a flex in an aircraft wing,absorbing the energy and reducing points of fracture, i would be interested in their maintenace over time.
A few questions. 1. How far do the shipping containers extend below the waterline? 2. What is the length of the longest hallway on the ship where you could film the bending motion? 3. Does the shipping company have divers look at the hull to determine if there are leaks/breaks in the skin after going through a storm like this? 4. How much water leaks into a ship like this from the seams, not from water splashing onboard, and where does it come from?
If I was in a storm with waves over 10m, I wouldn't be going out and measuring how far short of 15m they were. 10m is quite enough to be gettibg on with (and preferably a good bit less!)
I'm with you man. I know the game, but wasn't that surreal? Imagine standing in that corridor watching the floor and walls buckle and flex.... Now I know why they put the bridges on these cargo ships in the back.
@tupsumato stiffer hull equals less comfoartable ride, also if it doesnt bend it brakes, flex is accounted for and engineered into a ships design, flex is not a bad thing.
yes, that is part or the design. just like rollers, hinges on bridges to lessen forces on the frame structures. No big boats are designed too have stiff body, to make it lighter and smaller engine to drive.
Woooo! Excellent video! Looking at your face, and having checked the history of Cyclone/Typhoon Banyan, you've probably experiencing up to 70mph winds there!! Not pleasant!
Wow. I hope the people risking their lives to deliver all that stuff are paid very very well. Consumerism at it's best. Sad! A big thanks to all who work in that dangerous industry.
The highest concentration of locally developing cyclones (cyclogenesis) in the world has in fact been observed in the Mediterranean area, at least during winter. "Some of the Mediterranean cyclogeneses are so active as to be considered even as 'meteorological bombs'" (Dr. Homar from the University of the Balean Islands, Spain) The Mediterranean "hurricane-like" cyclones bear characteristics of polar lows as well as of tropical cyclones.
@stakeee if the ship didnt bend it would brake, the shoot is taken in the torsion boxez which run the lenght of the vessel, they provide the strength and flex.
You got a good point, cause today there isn't such a rigid material that wouldnt brake under these forces, and these forces are realy extreme especialy at long ships, material at these forces get's in elastic area that absorbs the energy of forces in a dynamic way.
Okay I logged in just to comment. Globalization of the consumer supply chain is way more difficult when you're part of it. I mean, those scenes where the halls were flexing is just... insane.
Gordon Bennett! That's frigging scary, it made me feel sick. I love ships and the sea - from my armchair - but this is enough to put me off from even paddling!

+DavenH I seriously think someone should put this idea into action; it's awesome!
Google "Monstrum". Epic fucking scary game inside old rusty tanker

Good Video, greatings from Germany!
Okay so that hallway flexing.....had me shitting myself and i wasn't even there!!
It's designed to bend, instead of break. Ever look out on the wing of a 747? The wings move up and down 3 or 4 feet or so, so the airplane can take the stress without breaking. Big skyscrapers do that too.
Don't know why but always been amazed with cargo ships! Inside the noise kinda scary but cool at the same time not a easy job!
Excellent shot down the pipe tunnel.
Reminds me of when I was working on an old C-5 up in the Chukchi Sea.
I like this vid!
It shows the elasticity of steel really well.
Wow, as an engineer I found the video of the corridor to be really impressive. A true testament to the mastering of steel.

Wow amazing corridor shot, dam lots of flexing going on... Nice footage of high seas...
Wow... The elements have got some serious powers... Imagine all the tons of water pounding the hull, and what stresses it's gotta withstand... Now that's gotta be alot of power to make the hallway do that...

Don't think I'd be outside in weather like that, looks bloody fun along the underdeck passageway though!
I love heavy sea. Would desperatly like to be on this ship in the pacific .GREAT!!!
Just goes to show you even after more than 100 plus years since its development no building material beats steel if it is manufactured and welded right. It is not only strong but also flexible. Its major draw back is weight and lack of corrosion resistance.
Wow you can really see the ship flexy on this ship like its designed. Good video, thankyou.
Love how a seemingly rigid material like steel will flex this much :) boggles the mind :P
thanks a lot for those passageway videos. Love the heavy industrialism, the bending metal echoes.
the fact that such a massive ship can bend and warp without breaking is an awesome engineering feat.
+Zedi gan If it _couldn't_ bend and warp like that, it _would_ break in half! :D
Nupetiet indeed

amamzing ship bend's. that image from the corredor inside is just awesome!!
Stunning to see the movements of the hull on the inside.
Knew there would be some movement, but had never thougth that it would be that much. Keep up the brilliant ideas of good shots....
I love the video taken on the bridge! At one point, it does look like the ship is flying! :o
Oh I've see that many times. This kind of a weather was just a norm back in the 70's when I sailed between Norfold VA USA and to and from Iceland.
wow fun job! great view of the flex of the vessel.
im no mariner, but the leverage on such long ships is crazy. damn big forces @ work
Wow! what a ride :)
Excellent video! The sounds from the hull interior are incredible! What is the lenght of this "moving" corridor?
Facinating to watch! - Incredible how the ship twists & groans .. cool!
Hats off to you Merchant men....without your service the world would stop!
Rough weather dosen't stop trade!
Fantastic footage.Respect to all you seamen. Didnt realise a ship flexs so much.And those noises inside the ship, amazing!!. Was there any structural damage to the ship after the storm?
Hi Arne, I am a mechanical engineering student and I have to complete a presentation on non-circular torsion applications, would you mind if I used some of the footage from this video as part of the presentation ?
now i get why hondas come with scratches...
that bending is simply terrifying
woooooow, that's what you call a wave!
Easy to see why enough wooden boats went down back in the day (old iron ones too).
Very intense.
0:13-0:34 freaky footage! awesome video
Hi great video looks like another day at the office only it rolls then goes up and down really enjoyed it cheers.
Nunca pensé que fuera tan flexible un barco... :O
i guess its the same a flex in an aircraft wing,absorbing the energy and reducing points of fracture, i would be interested in their maintenace over time.
awesome! incredible. This ship is so strong and flexibel!!! excelent video
Thanks so much for giving us a small insight into the what its like to sail in rough seas.
I like those bends.
A few questions.
1. How far do the shipping containers extend below the waterline?
2. What is the length of the longest hallway on the ship where you could film the bending motion?
3. Does the shipping company have divers look at the hull to determine if there are leaks/breaks in the skin after going through a storm like this?
4. How much water leaks into a ship like this from the seams, not from water splashing onboard, and where does it come from?
If I was in a storm with waves over 10m, I wouldn't be going out and measuring how far short of 15m they were. 10m is quite enough to be gettibg on with (and preferably a good bit less!)
WOW the Flexing is incredible!!!
Thats scarry, my uncle was working on ships like that, he told it was scary on storms , but i wasnt thinking it was like that, 0:23 ofmg it flexex..
very impressive vessel how many is the crew?
Never thought a vessel can bend that way!
Impressive footage, thanks!!
massive power of nature working there, must be one hell of an experience, i have no idea what a storm would feel like in real life
Seeing your boat bend down the corridors reminds me why I probably havent got what it takes for that job...
I'm with you man. I know the game, but wasn't that surreal? Imagine standing in that corridor watching the floor and walls buckle and flex....
Now I know why they put the bridges on these cargo ships in the back.
Daaaang, that's craaaazy!! How did you get a job on there??
@tupsumato stiffer hull equals less comfoartable ride, also if it doesnt bend it brakes, flex is accounted for and engineered into a ships design, flex is not a bad thing.
yes, that is part or the design. just like rollers, hinges on bridges to lessen forces on the frame structures. No big boats are designed too have stiff body, to make it lighter and smaller engine to drive.
great film ... specially the section of the passageway ...
Woooo! Excellent video!
Looking at your face, and having checked the history of Cyclone/Typhoon Banyan, you've probably experiencing up to 70mph winds there!! Not pleasant!
what stops the containers from lsiding off the side of the ship? Are they fastened with cables?
this is unreal im about to work on a drill ship i think i will encounter seas like this also
Wow. I hope the people risking their lives to deliver all that stuff are paid very very well. Consumerism at it's best. Sad!
A big thanks to all who work in that dangerous industry.
great vid, very cool to see how ship body moving
the passageway shots kick ass!!
im a sailor myself, and i been on quite a few ships and i have yet to be on a container ship, but i always wanted to see that
that's why they point it into the waves. she can go pretty fast in rough seas depending on wave height
The flex in that ship is one of the craziest and scariest things I have ever seen!
Great video!
i love it, reminds me of my days at sea....
what keeps the containers from falling off? Cables?

the inside look is awesome!
What's the typical total value of the cargo aboard a ship like this? Rough estimate?
Do these big tankers ever get rolled? does the sea affect them much?
Wow awesome vid!
cool film mate!
Correct me if I'm wrong but this is more like an example of cyclic moment & bending rather than non-circular torsion?
@bombarderoazul Nah, it was transporting 360's, that's why they RRoD so often :)
a good sea fairing film, no lubber talk or keel haulin just davy jones cleaing out his locker,by the powers
Very nice movie...I've seen this bending at an old bulk carrier and caused some damages.
Regards
Jimmy
0:20 is there any risk for the structure of the ship? metal fatigue?
@stakeee if the ship didnt bend it would brake, the shoot is taken in the torsion boxez which run the lenght of the vessel, they provide the strength and flex.
Good grief!
The hallway flexing was crazy.
That´s perfect to do windsurfing with a 72 litres and 3.4 sail. The problem is how get out ande in to the ship...Very nice storm!
that interior shot is madness
That would make it harder for pirates :)
Ive seen that plenty of times working on and oil tanker. Its wild and amazing how ships bend like that.
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..omg..super video sehr aufregend..das meer und seine geheimnisse..respekt von deiner arbeit..ich fahre 1 tour mit^^
hey my ferry home the red jet 4 reach 40 knot how many is it in km/h
...great navigation...!!!!
How does metal fatigue not occur after a while?
You got a good point, cause today there isn't such a rigid material that wouldnt brake under these forces, and these forces are realy extreme especialy at long ships, material at these forces get's in elastic area that absorbs the energy of forces in a dynamic way.
well, i am a welder and i knew steal is fexible, but the scene with "moving deck" amused me ^^
Okay I logged in just to comment. Globalization of the consumer supply chain is way more difficult when you're part of it. I mean, those scenes where the halls were flexing is just... insane.
i know containers fall off sometimes but in weather like this its a wonder you dont see them all just toppling overboard!!
Metal fatigue and salt water corrosion are the first things that come to mind, shortly followed by capsized, washed overboard and sunk without trace.
is this the largest commercial ship
how many 40' container it can carry
great footage from below deck!
Gordon Bennett! That's frigging scary, it made me feel sick. I love ships and the sea - from my armchair - but this is enough to put me off from even paddling!
What is the best speed for the ship in condtions shown on this video?
