- The cruise liner Seven Seas Explorer outbound seen off Point Lonsdale, Victoria, Australia.
Ship spotting at Point Lonsdale and other water activities.
Nice video. I liked the bit when they turned on the ship's lights once the pilot had disembarked.
Glad you liked it! it was to keep the night vision for the pilot boat taking station.
@@daff.wallace2267 OK - that makes sense. I hadn't thought about that. 👍
Nice work thank you - No more Port Phillip web cams so very grateful of your work - from the Hart Web site “Pantocarene has spent 30 years researching and developing a refined and unique beak bow hull form. This distinctive feature reduces slamming, vertical acceleration, and fatigue of pilots and crew all whilst simultaneously improving the wave piercing ability of the boat. The hull form of the ORC design, has proven to be very efficient as it reduces drag, which in turn, improves the fuel economy and operation of the boat.”
ORC - Off Shore Raiding Craft I did not know of this - not to be confused with ORC for sailing.
Thanks and Cheers
You're very welcome, yes your description is spot on!
see how clean her stacks are at this spped
Running on cleaner diesel fuel, I would suggest while near ports and coast.
How does that thing stay upright? That's not a ship. It was designed by the same guy who built the Empire State Building and even New York is getting sick of skyscrapers. So now they're sending them out to sea. Out of sight out of mind...
Going off at a tangent ... A ship that size will nevva evva evva be BATTERY electric. The idea is completely absurd. For several different reasons. Yes I know about the Greenwater-1. It's a toy. And yes I know many are DIESEL electric. I am talking about BATTERY.
There are several types of fuel being tested for shipping. LNG, Ammonia, and Hydrogen and wind assisted on freighters. Not sure how that would work on Pax ship.
@@daff.wallace2267 All that is true. Indeed there are already a large number of LNG powered large freighters. Whether alternative fuels can be made in large enough quantities is very much unknown. RIght now, it is highly unlikely. The idea of "Wind assist" is a wonderful sounding but meaningless and hilarious virtue signal.
But my point stands. Large scale battery electric is limited in size to light vehicles and maybe buses. Certainly nothing larger.
