Ever wondered how a Bollard Pull Test is performed? 309.6 tonnes of pure force. Watch and learn...as our ALP tugs practice their craft. bit.ly/2hBozBH #bollardpulltest #alpstriker
Tug I used to work on was a steam tug, 17 tonne pull. I massive amount of labour was taken to sustain that pull too! Two boilers & 6 furnaces to stoke, the crew of 15 was seldom idle. During the annual harbour "tug race" we were quite happy to be cruising at 15kts in light swell and nil wind holding a stead 180psi of steam. We were quickly overtaken by the harbours newest tug - going astern no less - at quite a pace. Those modern voith propulsion systems are amazing in the amount of power they deliver and the maneuverability!
You seafarers are a very special kind of people with the heart where the sea is. I heard the above several times. Like: It's hard at times but I wish I could go again.
We've done bollard test on the Port of Jebel Ali during the early 1980's. The vessels are GC 306 , 7 and 8 . They're all powered Cats and Mirless Blackstones. We've done both the pull and side thrusters. By the way GC stands for Gulf Cobla ( costain / blakenvoort ). The company built the Jebel Ali port. Watching your video brings back a lot of good memories in Dubai. The GC vessels are split hopper barges all built in the Netherlands just like I'll make a guess here Alp Striker is . This video is taken some where in South Korea I would also guess. And in Korea I remember one have to leave ones shoes outside the door if you enter one of those very welcoming houses. Good luck guys, Von Voyages.
Was involved with a Bollard test years ago. A sudden engine surge ripped the Samson post off the deck an threw it 500m through the air. It was found a week later on another dock.
I've always wondered about these DP2 vessels that have 2x bow thrusters of small size plus a retractable azimuth thruster in the bow. It gives great station-keeping in normal situations, but in the event of a worst case failure the vessel would be reduced to a single small bow thruster. With 2x 1500kw thrust in the bow it should have great redundancy.
I need help to solve a problem, I have to find a way to calculate the maximum bollard load that I use here at the shipyard. Does anyone have any ideas?
Depends on where the hawser is attached on the ship. As you can see in the video, its almost amidships. If it was in the stern it would be much harder to keep the ship straight.
I just watched another video...that led me here that said it would take approximately 80 of these to produce enough force to pull the Ever Given out of it's position.
@@justingarret4776 wtf are you talking about. They just waited for the right moment of NATURE and pulled the evergiven out. Avoid those conspiracy theory channels mate 😎
It's an inverted bow, more specific a x-bow. Traditionally ship designers tried to stay on top of waves. inverted bows dive through waves, trying to keep the ship at a constant level. This obviously requires much better protection against waves at the front, but also offers much better speeds and comport.
Cool boat, Dudes. However, you somewhat lost the chance for a narrative when you had not narration. The titles were informative, but, I don' know, somebody telling us a few facts and figures would have been nice.
I know nothing about ships, this was in my suggested, I have no idea what’s going on... video says it’s a tug but it appears to be flooring it while attached to a land anchor???? I do not understand why there is a land anchor or why this beautiful ship is giving it a tuggy tug....
It's a bollard pull test, it's a test to measure how strong the towing capacity of a ship is. This ship pulls the anchor point with a force of more than 300 tonns.

Still hard to push far above 1.3√L but tugs show it's possible.
A coal fired steam tug? When was this?
@@cjeam9199 2016-2021 vessel is still active although donations/paid cruises took a hit due COVID19 daldy.co.nz
@@cjeam9199 1920s I suppose)
I'm 75 and this makes me wish I could do it all over again and go to the sea. Simply beautiful.
I know exactly what you mean.
You seafarers are a very special kind of people with the heart where the sea is. I heard the above several times. Like: It's hard at times but I wish I could go again.
I love this vessel, it`s the first that can pull my mother in law into the sea from the beach.
Z. Weertje Is this your on screen name but your really Al Bundy?
Shut up Marcy
Z. Weertje more like Jefferson! Lol
lol...
LOL. On high or low tide?

that music though LOL
I love how the X-Bow design performs in classy water just like my row boat.
Gorgeous vessel
I love this, my only question is who would dislike this video. Most beautiful ship I’ve ever seen. Let me see more pull!
...see KL Saltfjord... 395 t ;)
People who have good taste in music? People who like it when decimal points are used correctly? Many reasons to dislike the video..
Well in all my years... I never knew how breathtaking a Bollard pull test could be. Now what would be the music score for a anchor brake test?
loved every second of this video
I don’t know anything about ships but this is a beauty and a beast!
Thank you Teekay Corporation for this post.
Great tug job.
Love that pre-dreadnought style bow.
Good advert/commercial. I'm convinced. I want one.

Beautiful boat.
The pipes 🙌🔥
What a beautifull vessel
It's nice that this tug doubles as a fire boat. Just look at those two massive red fire monitors on top of the bridge wings.
Where can i buy mine? i think, i also have a coupon somewhere here !
bcherbs I'm sorry, your coupon expired 5 minutes ago
Now that's a cool boat. I could get all 42 members of the fishing club on that thing.👍
Wow phenomenal and extraordinary power
Wowwwwww.... I love it, cool... I am seafarer too.... Someday, hope to experience in that kind of ship.... 😍
Beautiful video, just the right length, would really like to see the interior of the vessel.
I’d really like to see the bollard pull test.
1. How long did it travel to the bollard?
2. Why did it have to pull the bollard?
Very nice Pull
I need help to solve a problem, I have to find a way to calculate the maximum bollard load that I use here at the shipyard. Does anyone have any ideas?
Very pretty, but does it have work?
Потрясающе!!!
Do they have discounts for seniors.?
Omg, I think they went the drawing up side down!
Rasser-Aalborg 😂😂😂
Brilliant video, who shot it?
I judt love the shape of that bow so different
ua-cam.com/video/nvCjv1v-nqg/v-deo.html
Have you a blueprint drawings of this ship?
No entendí. El barco estaba jalando la isla???
Very good video and a truly amazing vessel. A bit too much music though.
Does that vessel have Z-drives or Voith Schneider propulsion?
What's with the comma placement in the values?
cool looking and powerful 💪💪💪💪
Are they trying to make the wharf longer?
How to maintain your ship heading in maximum pull ? When we did this, the ship tend to sway and start listing
Depends on where the hawser is attached on the ship. As you can see in the video, its almost amidships. If it was in the stern it would be much harder to keep the ship straight.
Wow if the rope snap she will 0-60 3.5 seconds.
Yeah,I was thinking...if that rope/cable snaps,I want to be 10 km away from it.
Not like the 2 blokes standing beside the bollard at 3' 16"
When I saw that my first thought was there is no way you'd get me to stand anywhere near that bollard.
How much BHP this vessel?
immensamente bello , bravi , mi fate venire i brividi, vorrei essere li con voi
Good video and excellent photography
how are two engines coupled to one shaft? I wonder how many know how immense the ships structure has to be, to stop the winches ripping out
The Dutch can built beautiful ships like this one shall we call it the BEAST ?
Nosey McNose Boat
why are people standing on the opposite side of the pull? waiting for a cable to break?
whats that good for?
I saw this tug was on Bintan waterfront 3 may 2023
309 tons force. 3:29 video
wow , this would make a great crabbing boat
I've worked on these vessels.
Grandios. 👍
Why is it trying to tow a harbour out to sea?
its called bollard pull, for testing towing capacity of the ship.
Or because it can?
Main engines fuel capacity is 2747 MT and aux. generators have 300MT.
Yeah the one and only real shipdesign natural!
I love the music. Who is the artist or name of the song please...
the original song is where are you now by alan walker
Why would they do this operation? I don’t understand because the doch is not going to move.
That is what I call a tool for the job, Bieuteful ship .
350 mt fuel cap ?? Forgot a '0' I guess ...
3:16 People standing in line with the line during the test?!
I saw that too. Absolutely insane to do such a thing.
I saw it as well. I was scared for them... Assume they moved well back before she really throttled-up, otherwise that's wildly crazy.
I saw that too, but this video looks an awful lot like CGI.
what the music please!!?

How come bollard pull is measured in Tonnes not Mega Newtons (MN) Or Tonnes-Force? (T-f)
Not sure what that video was about??
Send is to sues?? Enter the canal at cairo
A question, what is the purpose of that bollard they just tested?
@@LungsMcGee Thanks, but what is the actual purpose of a bollard in that location?
...The Mighty and Heroic ALP Guard to the rescue at the Suez Canal!
I just watched another video...that led me here that said it would take approximately 80 of these to produce enough force to pull the Ever Given out of it's position.
@@justingarret4776 wtf are you talking about. They just waited for the right moment of NATURE and pulled the evergiven out. Avoid those conspiracy theory channels mate 😎
@@tip0019 as I mentioned I watched another video that said it would take approximately 80 tugs. It's not that hard to understand 🤷. Try and keep up...
The recycled deck is what sold it for me.
what is the deal with the bow

Daniel Rose huh interesting

And it's a Norwegian invention...borrowed from cretain very old ships..
It looks cool too.
I pulled a bollard cycling, couldn't wear lycra for two weeks.
where are they base out of ???
Holland
Music is so exaggerated. Like the vessel saves the world from extra terrestrials.
This marvelous boat helped unclogged Suez Canal!
2:23 already damaged?
Thats what I thought, but if you look right before, the front view of the ship, there is a hole in the bow. Looks like for a mooring line or something
Cool boat, Dudes. However, you somewhat lost the chance for a narrative when you had not narration. The titles were informative, but, I don' know, somebody telling us a few facts and figures would have been nice.
It’s a commercial for companies looking for tugs
wow.... i wuna own 1...i will name him... kopu....

There were 23 earthquakes recorded around the world at the precise moment of this test!
Hello from st. Petersburg.
Video starts at 3:16, but there is no explanation of how the test is performed or view of measurements.
I have dreams, to join on the ship..
why is the front shaped like that?
Better in waves, less pressure loading on the bow.
ua-cam.com/video/nvCjv1v-nqg/v-deo.html
20m waves says it ;)
How did they measure the pulling force?
steinwaymodelb using load cell attach to the line
@@mohamadariff1941 I was looking on the rigging to see what kind of load cell would measure that kind of force, but I couldn't see it...
@@steinwaymodelb 1:52 is when they rig it up by the bollard itself with the crane on some kind of pallets not to scratch it. A massive one for sure.
The load cell attached near bollard bitt
I am going to build a rc scale model of this tug.
I had a little pull to this video.
Love ❤️ so
👌👌👌
新潟で作られた奴や！
made in niigata japan!
what the music?

Spooky Thanks, dumbass. So helpful.
I wonder "what will this ship do?"
I’ve had a bollard pull
💗
alp striker shold relley be at the sues canal at the moment
I would like to live on this for the rest of life on earth. Whats it cost? 40 million?
where did my reaction go
That I sent in yesterday?
My AHTS was 324 mt 😅 24,000 hp
Adagio in D minor is the new Pachelbel's Canon. Nice boat though. The Magne Viking is also worth a look.
