DAMEN Sea Axe 26

DAMEN Shipyards Cape Town have just completed and launched the FCS 5009 Sea Axe 26

[@AlexA-ts8sq]

The ship itself it's from a calm sea, creates a storm! ))))

[@rafiqsaid4297]

What you see is more white bubbles than water .The real wave the ship creates (the dark water) is very low.

[@janvandenbos7085]

Very nice new vessel, can't waite to see new campagne on Discovery with the Ocean Warrior 👌✌

[@patkamerman6142]

Excellent video for an excellent vessel!

[@antallen1319]

Pat Kamerman Thank you Pat - your compliment much appreciated!

[@Pahabarabaha]

Obviously its a designer's mistake to not make wave/splash deflector! In calm sea on full speed all water splashes go to bridge windows. Epic fail!

[@flybywire5866]

It seems to me that the bow design allows for a lot of water going over the ship. The window wipers do have a full time job.

[@anthonyallen9207]

It was a spray rail test. The results of this video lead ti the rail being relocated higher than this position and the result was ideal - no more spray in calm water at 28 knots. Thank you

[@kendesjarlais7577]

uhhh not---- poor design , test or not

[@whatscoldoing5627]

That is an extremely wet boat. Pushing water like an old 18th century warship.

[@rafiqsaid4297]

what you see is more white bubbles than (massive) water. the actual wave caused by the ship (dark water , not the foam) is very low.

DAMEN "SEA PLOW" 26 - plowing a furrow through the sea ?

[@nickpaloubas1663]

I won't suggest it specifically in the rough sea it takes time to resurface and not comfortable for the crew.

[@theephemeralglade1935]

Yeah, okay, but how does it work on actual logs?

[@MWcrazyhorse]

The splashing is not ideal no?
You'll get wet if you stand outside.

[@chrisbynum4940]

I understand this design and the benefits for being able to run faster in heavy seas. My question is, is this design more efficient for displacement hulls? I have been following the Amels/Damen SeaXplorer and I'm curious if that concept can be scaled down to something like a 20 meter displacement yacht built for long distances. or even smaller like 12-15 meter. Thinking of a hull design to compete with long range trawlers like Nordhavn or Dashew FPB boats. Any Damen engineers or other marine engineers want to chime in?

[@predator1739]

>26meter is better for the axe bow, and keep the front empty .

[@marcmanitou4182]

Axe bow is not practical for small ocean going yachts because the nose needs to be light and can not be used for much anything else than cutting through the waves. X-bow would be more practical but needs to be high enough, so it is not practical for small boats either. For 40m + size maybe.

[@traitorhatergetarope3163]

Just an opinion, I think it would be a little more efficient if they could keep the bow up, stop the porpoising. Looks like it created a pressure area every time the bow went down. Sick vessel, though .

[@fredtedstedman]

@@traitorhatergetarope3163 don't think "sick" is a word you wanna think about ..................

[@kef103]

Look how calm the water is vs amount of spray

[@fredtedstedman]

needs a spray rail around the top of the bow ! too much water going on the bridge windows .

[@kef103]

@@fredtedstedman I think maybe is supposed to be dramatic vs functional . Big splash ooooohhhhh

[@fredtedstedman]

@@kef103 I think theres also a lot of spray from the helicopter , but as you said its a calm sea .

[@ianwood3491]

The 'axe' bow trades a smoother ride for more spray. Though yes a spray sheild of some description would be good.
And i would like to see her in rougher seas for which they are designed.

[@joedonzi9552]

DAMEN "SEA PLOW" 26 - plowing a furrow through the sea ?

[@CREATIVE1N]

Question :
this sea axe design is instead of, or better than, the bulb design that i seen in other ships to make way through water and obtain higher speeds.

[@BrassLock]

Looks very messy even in a calm sea - huge amounts of spray thrown upwards and onto wheelhouse. Is this an "improvement" over traditional bow design?

[@antallen1319]

Very observant Dav - DAMEN Cape Town reviewed this footage and the spray rails were repositioned giving her much dryer decks on flat water high-speed runs.

[@BrassLock]

+Ant Allen : Terrific of the company to be so flexible in their approach to customer's needs - thanks for your followup.

[@RebeccaFarquharson]

Bulbous bows only work at low speed and specific speeds; so only
work on slower vessels on a time sensitive charter such as an intermodal or a bulk
carrier. Also, bulbous bows do not make the vessel faster it only saves energy which can only make a considerable saving on larger ships.

[@kum4678]

[@joachimsudergat3924]

I do not want to be the guy that cleans this boat upside and make it dry every two minutes. :))
But it is a fine vessel, i like this style.

[@wcresponder]

Very nice lines, Well done. Hope they are successful for you. Have you ever toyed with the idea of a catamaran this scale?

[@olivier7080]

Magnifique les baleiniers non qu'à bien se tenir avec un navire aussi performant

[@Engineeringcam]

It has like 2 spray rails on the bow which do nothing to deflect spray down.... terrible design

[@carmelpule6954]

It could so with a wide spray deflector at the front end, but it would have to be very strong, I suggest an inclined Vee shaped spray deflector running on what appears to be a horizontal collision buffer would suit the purpose of spray deflection and might I add, the ramming efficiency......... perhaps I should not have said that, sorry for that as it would be rather cruel on you know who.

[@antallen1319]

Carmel Pule' - thanks. It was easily rectified by just removing and reinstalling the spray rail a little higher.

[@stevenk6638]

OK ...so we get what it looks like cutting thru water .....

[@SKULLZY_YT]

All axe bow ships look like the ocean warrior form sea shepherd

[@dimitristsekeris1821]

Hey, wait a minute. That looks almost exactly like Sea Shepherd's Ocean Warrior.

[@mgmaniac01]

Correct. Same Model, like Mercedes SL. Not a unicum. ;-) You can choose Motorpower, lenght, eqipment...
Cool, how it cuts the waves instead of riding them, hm?

[@dimitristsekeris1821]

Stephan Gajewski It's pretty cool but isn't this bow wave a disadvantage?

[@tiesversteeg1753]

Dimitris Tsekeris no, it’s designed in the way that it is able to handle waves. That is what the whole concept is based on.

[@dimitristsekeris1821]

@@tiesversteeg1753 But it really doesn't do so. On the contrary it seems to have a huge bow wave that creates a lot of drag.

[@tiesversteeg1753]

Dimitris Tsekeris that’s what I thought at first too, but I was at some sort of event where they explained the benefits of this axe-like bow. It has a lot of benefits.

there something very comforting about your vessels bow very high out of the water.
and this design is very disconcerting and unfamiliar

[@hakon5473]

I dont see this working like it should in places like the North Sea and North Atlantic. Germans tried this in ww2 with their battleships. Way to much green sea on the bow.

[@alaska6650]

Is this design ice-class? I'm concerned for the Ocean Warrior being down in the Southern Ocean.

[@antallen1319]

Hi - I cannot speak for the design of the Ocean Warrior as I do not know who built her, but it is highly unlikely that she would not be reinforced for ice if operating in the Southern Ocean.

[@vynleinnmusic6217]

Reinforced insurance. Looks like my 100y' old tug

[@johnross1947]

Ocean warrior is designed to ram ships. Period. Some day they will kill people and they will go to prison were they belong. Piracy and murder. Save the whales kill them all. Fucking wackos. Those that donated money. You funded this murderous venture. Your just as guilty an response able. Just a matter of time.

I can see this yoke in high seas just simply plunging at 40 degrees right below the sea right to the bottom...probably a reason that ship builders went away from this design a 100 years ago...cant tell the iphone generation though. they think they know best...lol

[@Gizmologist1]

The bow looks remarkably like the Titanic's bow.

[@Gizmologist1]

This thing hits solid ice just a foot or so thick and it will quitelike just STOP, albeit with some serious hull damage. Ships designed for ice clogged waters do not use a straight vertical hull. They are designed to ride up onto it and NOT INTO it.

[@antallen1319]

This is NOT AN ICE-BREAKING design. Nowhere has it been stated nor intended. Please do not confuse the issue.

[@Gizmologist1]

I never said it was an ice breaker. I simply stated that if, while in ice clogged waters, it should impact the ice straight on, it would simply be stopped with likely hull damage.

[@RebeccaFarquharson]

Gizmologist1, I hope your parents are proud of you knowing how to pretend someone made a mistake and then correcting that imaginary mistake.
