Back in 1989 I lived in Brunswick for the summer and was doing a renovation job for a friend on Union St. Many times when not on the job I would hussle over to see the ships coming in. My first exposure to this operation I was mesmerized, and I wondered what was going on inside to hull........33 years later thanks to Captain Andy now I know! Thanks Captain Andy.
That is so cool. I drove by those dockside warehouses seeing those huge rolls of paper for years and never knew or thought how they got loaded. Thank you.
I used to work at the Newspaper. Those rolls of paper are really heavy. It's amazing they can pick so many up at one time. Each roll is also worth a lot of money.
Not a particularly big vessel but an ingenious design! Two huge mobile cranes with folding ends that allow covering the entire width of the ship plus reaching well over the side for placing or picking up the cargo! Then they slide together and make a huge helopad and/or sports field! 👏
Pretty darned excited that after two months of trying unsuccessfully to get into the store, I finally got in and bought the fine coffee mug. It’ll be golden brown inside soon enough. Best regards, Andy.
I would find it interesting to know some of the back story about the ship and the cargo . . . Where is she heading, how much does she carry, what they do with it at the destination. This is a great way for us to have a better understanding of how the world works. Paper is a part of the Georgia economy.
Wonder how many Georgia folks know what products that are ship out of the port... much of which is locally produced. Thanks for sharing the video... Pellet terminal update might also be of interest to others...
Awesome video Capt. Those big rolls of paper are very familiar to me... I worked for 32 years at a large Printing company and we had big rolls of paper like that to feed and print al kinds of magazines and catalogs on a printing press. Those rolls of paper can weight any where from 1,700 lbs to 2,000 lbs.
That is awesome, I always wondered where those rolls of paper went . I have had to rearrange them on trucks after an accident, they are sizable rolls . The ones I saw are about 5 feet tall and about 4 feet wide standing
Another great video Capt. Andy!!! It's amazing the ways they dome up with moving materials on and off ships in LARGE scale. BTW... has the state DNR signed off on the clearing of all the crap that was scattered from the ship? Thanks for all you do!!!!
Looks like the paper mill is still there. I imagine that the air around it and downwind still smells awful. It did the eight years I lived there around 1964-1972. We were young, military and working then, so never had the opportunity to wonder what happened to the paper.
Some observations from someone who spent many years in the Paper Industry. The days of US Exporting Paper is very rare, this must be a very special grade of paper to be exported to Finland, they have 25 paper mills in Finland. I'm assuming that's the final destination. Anyone that has more info please share.
I'm a stevedore. Are these rolls for Germany? I might discharge them in 3 weeks 🙂As far as I know orange reels are for cables. They will be refilled with new cables.
Boy that's a boatload of paper, that crane must have some serious vacuum power 👍😎
Exporting is the name of the game. You are becoming a drone master! Keep up the good work Captain.
Wow, that's quite the operation to load those rolls of paper...Thanks MM!

Really cool. I am familiar with those rolls. They are heavy.
Fascinating. I worked at a newspaper that used this product. The company was Georgia Pacific.
Shout to the Georgia timber farmers that made it all possible.
You always have something cool going on in your harbor I’m glad you share with us Hope you have an awesome week stay healthy and safe

Way cool Capt. Andy. I can't imagine how much that load must weigh.
Great video Captain Andy! Always cool to see how they load ships. Love your channel! That's a lot of paper. I bet those rolls are heavy. 👍✌😎
Wow thanks Andy. Impressive. I love to watch ships loading. Stay safe..

Oh, the hours I've spent watching your videos!!! Thank you so much for letting me see how all this big stuff works.
Pretty darned excited that after two months of trying unsuccessfully to get into the store, I finally got in and bought the fine coffee mug.
It’ll be golden brown inside soon enough.
Best regards, Andy.
great I enjoyed watching this very much. keep them coming!
I worked in the printing industry,40” rolls can weigh 2000 lb each impressive to see!
Pretty Cool Loading.Thanks Captain Andy.Great Video.

Also I’m wondering where this paper comes from. Are there paper mills near Brunswick? Thx.
I enjoyed that. Thanks Capt.
Hi Andy thanks , what a great video never seen this before learn something new every day,fork lift drivers got work cut out!!
Were is all that paper going, and were did it come from ?
Interesting looks the paper company owns/maintains the suction apparatus
More stuff like this will be great.
That quite a bit of weight being loaded on. Puts it in perspective on the weight they can move with these ships.
The new intro to the videos has the Mullet so bright white and shiny that I have to put on shades to watch.

Keep em’ coming! Thank you from Kentucky!
Wow that is a unique loading process.
Your videos never disappoint!

Don't Stop The Videos Ever.LOL I Nrrd Your Voice to Help Me Sleep !! KWD
Thanks for the video. I found this very interesting.
Very unique. Guess there is more than one way to load and unload a ship...
That's a *lot* of paper! How many times did those forklifts have to go back and forth?
Thats quite fascinating.
I hope you get a video of them closing up the hatches (cargo holes). Wonder if they use vacuum on that. Capt. Bill

Probably an ignorant question, but what is this paper used for?
So there is a paper mill nearby?
Yes Georgia Pacific is in Brunswick
