- Video of a wreck removal of a container ship stranded on the breakwaters of East London, South Africa on the unpredictable wild coast 2007 using chainpullers
I imagine the CEO of Mamoet selecting the music or this infomercial and no-one daring to tell him that their ears are bleeding...
Hoo! Haa! Hoo! Haa! ....
The achievements of the men of this firm fill me with the utmost admiration!They perform acts which I,in a sea-going career on tramps taking me all over the world and encountering many and varied situations,would never have thought possible.I also worked in deep-sea salvage tugs for a while but nothing I experienced can compare with what these blokes can do.Respect,respect to Mammoet!
I will have to contact this company to see if I can use their equipment to get my canoe out of the pond this fall.
Your videos are great. If I ever wreck a tanker or need a ship hauled into the Amazon, I'll give you a call!
I was thinking of that exact same comment!
I am good at salvaging sunken ships
@@richadxu7046 ME tOO. . !
LOL
@Firescales 22 ua-cam.com/video/eQ2adoxC8Vs/v-deo.html I did
OK I'm impressed! Brains , enginnering, imagination and sheer hard work.
very professional!! 👍
Highly recommend this guide
Incredible engineering!!
Always designing and adapting to a specific need.
Is that it fme
Impossible, can't be done, your crazy, mammoet " hold my beer "
dont break the jug
some bad ass chain pullers.
Very interesting! I love the way in which you made this video. You have narrative and commentary and we can see what is going on. Well done!
Again, impressive... all around. I can only imagine that on a job like this when things go wrong, it’s really bad..
Love every momoet vidio I've seen so far keep up the great hard work you guy's do! Very entertaining and a great learning experience!!!
Freddy Burdick as an admirer the least you can do is get the spelling of their name right 🇨🇦😎
Love anything like this, problem solving workable solutions wished I'd had more self confidence when I was younger as it's a career I'd like to have been involved in 👍👍
Thank you good watching 👌😍😍😍🇦🇺
The background music, grunts and moans from Sam Cook's "Working on the Chain Gang," was pretty clever. Subtle, but clever.
Try listening to the band 'DEVO' do the song..."Working on the Chain Gang"!!
Excellent..!!

Thanks for the video.
they bring them up onto the shore and then they chop them up for salvage right? Getting the units out of the waves is the priority.
Seem weird not to see the whole thing, did it fail?
Are there any longer videos of this kind of job anywere on youtube someone please can link me to?
What happen if i was to build on top of something like this ?
Mammoet Salvage RULES!......Ask them about Fukushima!... How would they recover the cores for the 4 reactors?
+magnetstoo -- In August 1984, the French freighter Mont Louis, carrying 30 containers of uranium hexafluoride, was headed for Riga, Latvia, where the uranium would be off-loaded for enrichment in the USSR. However, off the Belgian coast, the freighter collided with a ferry carrying 1,000 passengers from the Netherlands to England. No one was hurt, but the freighter sank in shallow waters. The uranium cargo was salvaged by Smit International of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and Union de Remorquage et de Sauvetage of Antwerp, Belgium. There's a video about that salvage on UA-cam.

"Smit International of Rotterdam" and "Union de Remorquage et de Sauvetage of Antwerp" and "Mammoet Salvage" rule ! I will try to find that vid.
the sea looked angry that day- like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli
Around here the sea gets far angrier that was her in a good mood.
I wonder if some ridiculous engineered contract like this has ever gone like catastrophically wrong for Mammoet and we just never heard about it lol
Of course big companies almost always hide that shit
Excellent. So did they build that slipway or did it just happen to be there?
to be or not to be, that is the question .........
I'm curious what the round things are they anchored the pullers to, I imagine large quantities of concrete dumped into a bored hole.
Hollands glorie
Maybe I missed it, but I'm wondering 'what' is holding the chain-pullers in place??

Wouldn't it be easier to find an existing inlet, float the ship in, sandbag the inlet entry, add water, throw rocks under the ship to support the higher elevation, and pump out the water?
Love this video! What camera did you use?
Why didn't you use your airbag rollers under the two sections instead of just dragging it ashore?
Maybe the sharp rocks you can see in the video are a hint?
Why are they standing next to the chain with all that tension on it. It only takes once.
because they can, the chain they said can hold 600 tons,
the pulling force on each chain was 300 tons.
The dutch always find a way to overcome watery shit. I believe it's pronounced like "Mammoth". Great company and well know all over the world.
Actually it's pronounced "mammoot"
What’s the music in the background? Such as at 1:20?
The grunts and moans are from Sam Cooke's "working on the Chain Gang." I'm sure now you get the connection, they didn't choose that song randomly
looks too much liek a mammoet adverticement than a wreck removal.. show the wreck beign removed and on dry land and being cut up!.
It looks like a commercial because that's what it is.
this salvage company gits er done
The men in charge of these salvage operations must be under enormous pressure......but you can be rest assured that they know their shit. They're serious as hell about their work, and scrutinize every single detail time and time again before even the first man or piece of equipment arrives on site. Scores of safety assessments have to be made before the job is bid on.....nobody wants to get a bunch of men killed because the wrong plan was taken to complete the salvage. But when the job is safely finished, everyone makes a load of money, as they rightfully should.
anyone that has been in the industry long enough will quickly correct you that the main plan is not the salvage of the vessel or goods but rather dragging the process out in order to maximize the $$$$$ incured........... if that entails the actuall salvage being successful - that be a byproduct of the actual goal .
....as they say always follow the cash .
You're pulling my chain!
You wished your chain was that big!
no cure no pay policies.. hope they have been compensated accordingly..
The Dutch are necessarily very good at big engineering - they have to be - one third of the country is below sea level!
impossible job at the sea?
call Holland...
OK2BCK *Called
call
Not to good at protecting yourselves in the past though.lol
Chris Smith .?? Explain please Chris 🇨🇦
Possibly air bags between the jacks and keel to minimize drag for a faster recovery, along with plates to prevent damage to the bags. Possible?
Sammy Campbell Maybe some helicopters and hover boats, or better yet Superman.
P.S. Why not Superwoman?
She is always unreliable one week out of the month.
is this in london or is it in south africa?
Says at the beginning of the video... East London, South Africa
some people ask a question and the answer is in the video.
Id really like to work at a salvage company that would be awesome

Most of the work is carrying heavy stuff for about eight hours and then standing around watching all that stuff you carried be put to work, at which point someone will drive by, see you standing there and make a comment about how all you guys are standing around and doing nothing.
nother one watch rail company's lay new track.
Wow! impressive!
I saw no wreck removal, only chains hooked up to various parts of a ship. Felt like watching an infomercial and getting that greasy feeling you are being scammed.
Objective: drag the ship onto shore:
Every ship breaker in India...Does it by hand and barefoot.
those chain pullers on amazon prime 2 day delivery
Gonna get some of those
Imagine Mammoet and Sarens combining forces... :p
tveirken1 you too 🇨🇦😎
just call chuck norris
madisonelectronic
not ideal. he would've pulled the whole ocean with it.
This explain why these men has a better pay than women. As a matter of fact, I haven't seen a single woman working in those elements.
R Verro Check out my salvage videos if you want to see women.

Just get 30 of the biggest bulldozers in the world.
The Egyptians used palm trees, as rollers, for big jobs like that.
they were on hollyday
What language are they even speaking? It sounds like broken English mixed with incorrect German.
Probably afrikaans which is like dutch
It's dutch
Waste of money. 17000 tonnes full of water and sand , you will not pull that anywere. It needs to be cutted in small parts first with thermal rood cutter.
????? They DID it!!
holland
glorie
Why would any one allow a wreck like this to come near their shores in the first place? I thought the Coast guard had licencing on container ships. It was clear that wreck should have been in the breakers long before it ended up beached like that. They should have never allowed that wreck on open waters. Now it will cost tax payers hundreds of thousands to get that wreck hauled away. I think world wide regulations should be stronger concerning ships registration and her owners as well as past owners made to clean up the mess. Like a car, they should be inspected and tagged every year.
Do'nt wreck your brain about it.
probable some mamoet dollars as well...
yeah
where is mammoet from?
Hidde Joustra A Dutch firm. .. Their language is heard in the video. German spoken with a potato in the mouth ;)
try poldar land
Why worry about it , test the Ocean for Radiation .
Hydraulics are very impressive.. makes the impossible possible..
It could be done with cables and pulleys, but hydraulics are so much easier.
If the Queen Mary needs her keel worked on, will she be raised on large rubber pontoons?

And the water fills with foam, the sky with fumes,
leprosy chemistry destroys life in rivers,
birds that hardly fly dead,
the cold interest in life has barred the doors.
A whole island has found a grave in the sea,
false progress wanted to try a bomb,
then rain, which takes away the thirst for the earth, which is life,
instead it brings death because it is radioactive.
Yet the wind is still blowing,
sprinkle water to ships on the bow
and whispers songs among the leaves,
kisses the flowers, kisses them and does not catch them.
One day money discovered the world war,
gave his putrid sign to the bestial instinct,
he killed, burned, destroyed in a sad rosary
and the whole earth was wrapped in a black shroud.
And soon the hidden key to new secrets:
so they will cover even the planets with mud,
they will want to pollute the stars, the war between the suns:
crimes against life call them errors.
Yet the wind is still blowing,
sprinkle water to ships on the bow
and whispers songs among the leaves,
kisses the flowers, kisses them and does not catch them. ( Writer(s): pierangelo bertoli)
get a life
@@ElmerJFudd-oi9kj oh hes got 1.....but its very weird.
Pumps as those showing at 3:55 is, what fire brigades & fire fighters around the world including in the United States and even countries like our own are in need of!
Those are low pressure, high volume rotary vane pumps. FD need higher pressure centrifugal pumps
Every one in the video had small eyes
Probably because the wind blew strong
are they Japanese or Chinese
I imagine how they would’ve pulled out the shit Hull around here. A bunch of durmaxes and some tug boat rope
thats goona end up in scrapyard. that no salvage.
How do people get jobs like this?
I live in South Africa
who cares
no one cares
You're cute
I would think they would be speaking Afrikaans?
Sounds like they are.
Zeroczar
No they speak Dutch.
Mammoet is a Dutch company.
The Dutch are to be found worldwide if it comes to massive salvation actions, building sea barriers, lifting heavy marine loads and all that.
This is kids stuff, I used to have a 700,000kg hydraulic puller/presser in my garage, I modified a hydraulic press from a Toyota factory that I found in a scrap yard. You have to see to believe what the force can do, gases become like a liquid and lots of other freaky stuff.
You sir, must be a happy man.
A GREAT JOB WITH UNUSAL UNIQUE EQUIPMENT!! YOU GUYS KICK BUTT!!👍👍
u need superman....
I saw the vids of them doing this in India with old junk equipment and no safety standards at all. The companies don't care how many of the workers die.
Some Conan shit
Short attention span theater.
GET A LOT OF DUTCH MEN !
Incredible bad music
How old are you?
This is some old footage.
1:34 Man stands with foot directly below the load.
just testing those boots someone has to do it

can pull 300 tons??? my FIAT can do better..
