Those are fermentation tanks. They are used for making beer and other alcohol. They are being shipped empty and are thus light weight, but obviously were not lashed down well.
Coast Guard, Coast Guard, we are in heavy seas and declaring an emergency. We cannot stop this terrible music! Oh and we are loosing our cargo as well.
And that's why we usually use one inch line all around to secure these drums instead of half inch. But the company did save a few hundred dollars with the half inch.....go figure.......
If there wasn't enough force to rip the container apart, then there is no excuse for the restraints coming loose. You would always use chain strong enough to suspend double the weight of the cargo. At least that is what I do when hauling loads on my truck.
+terrabus1 Then again, maybe some other islanders will unexpectedly go into the beer-making business, without having to borrow a fortune to pay for the capital equipment.
i have no merchant mariner experience so i have a condescending attitude so i can proclaim this is stupid and i would've done it better .when in reality that translates to i have a small gentlemans sausage so i will make as many people that i can look stupid to so i can slowly fade out of the attention to my inadequacies
I pretend I am a competent expert, so I can have a condescending attitude so I can proclaim that all criticism of incidents like this are unwarranted, untrue, and stupid. When in reality, I am a proud but incompetent and foolish journeyman, so I try to whitewash the resulting blunders caused by my incompetence & foolishness (and the same committed by people like me), by attacking the character of any critics. Maybe people will be so distracted by evaluating the character of the critics, they won't discover my (and others like me) incompetence and foolishness.
Welp u won that one i thought i did a good job summizing (yes i did pass the 2nd grade thank u)the comments section but i have been bested .the floor is urs good sir .i relenquish my duties of floor mopping and leave the job to you and i stand readily (did it again)awaiting any need for assistance i will b at ur disposal
Well the Cargo was 100% secured and lashed when they left the terminal otherwise PSC(Port State Control) wouldn't have left the ship sail if there were any deficiencies....the locks must have been broken due to rolling and pitching due to harsh sea conditions....The sea is always a tough thing even someone who have spent 20 years working in it would get seasick...
The music was terrific. Nice intro, then it sounded like Sade at the beginning, then kinda morphed into a Madonna-like voice. Nice tempo and all as clean and precise as you could want. And kudos for leaving the extra minute plus in so the song could play through. I enjoyed it it thoroughly. Thanks!
I'm sure all procedures were followed, but heavy seas are capable of destroying virtually everything on board, by the looks of it, this was the most convenient space to load these things and they are probably hard to tie down, when one starts rolling and banging into others, sooner or later they all go.
I am a cargo securing expert! and that incident just comes under "S*** happens" they look stowed correctly. The crew are supposed to check the securing chains every few hours to ensure that they are tights. I would have not used this type of vessel to send these tanks, I would have sent them using a Ro-Ro vessel and secured them internally on Maffi trailers.
The cylinders were improperly secured to the deck and to each other. Industry best practices are to stand them on end, in two rows of three, with a large plastic fastener at the top that securely grips all six at once. An oversize elastic band is then run from one rail, over the top, down to the other rail.
To all of you asking why the don't fix it in heavy sea, this would be suicide and no captn with clear mind would allow this. Better to lose some cargo than to endanger crew and/or vessel. In the end it's only possible to fix that barrels at just one end and then cargo starts "dancing" - if it's possible to do that at all. But in the end it's better to let the cargo overboard than a crew member.
By what I see the lashing job was not satisfactory in the least but all cargo is insured. We had 4 large pressure vessels that went off the deck in a typhoon but the Captain gave the order to cut everything free or they would have lost the ship. The problem was the vessels were required on-site immediately so the manufacturer worked around the clock to replace them in record time so site penalties were avoided.
most likely project cargo and not tank containers.... and with the sea like this, jettisoning the cargo would be a better option than risking the vessel with damage or loss of stability....
Like others here, I'm very curious as to what was in those containers. I've never seen cylinders quite like that before. Were they ever recovered? Seems like if they washed ashore somewhere, it'd at least merit a local headline!
We lost Paper Mill containers in the big Pacific in 98, customer not happy, bottom line bruised till the Insurance check arrived. I love the ocean, unpredictableyet so beautiful, especially in the Lesser Antilles....
It is not the ship's crew that loads and secures the cargo. This is done by specialized stevadores. It is however the captain's responsibility (via his right hand mate, the Chief Officer) to make sure they do a good job. If the captain does not approve of the way the cargo is secured they have to do it again until he is happy. In many cases it ends up with shouting match between the CO and the stevadores as the later want to finish the job as fast as possible.
Well that's a mistake in the video loosing the cargo isn't the worst condition(unless it's oil or any other polluting substance) there are list of disasters that can hit the ship which we were taught in college the worst of them are fire and collision.
Much better, original version of this: "Perils of the sea" on TH-cam now. Much higher definition, no cropping, and the original ships sounds with the crew discussing the problem and reporting the hazards to local shipping.
Most of the cargo is shipped in squared casks. They make it easier to lash, or "block. There are several adequate vessels made just for sophisticated transport.
Interesting - when I first went to sea 60 years ago, deck cargo other than timber was anathema to our officers. They would have hysterics at the sight of this poorly strapped cargo with no chocks. Timber was fun, the Scowegians often went by with their decks awash, kept afloat by their cargo. Wind driven pumps too!
Poor seamenship. The cargo was obviously improperly secured. The tanks aren't being pounded loose by waves. They're breaking free by their own weight. The straps are so small you can't even see them on the closest tanks. Then the captain turned the ship laying it sideways to the wave action ? That was the point that the rest of the cargo came loose.
Lol at the top comments, those guys need to learn about the "mute" and "hide annotations" buttons... I personally love this song and think it fits the video (at least better than Justin Bieber would, by the way title is Ocean Drive by Madison Park), also knowing that those guys sent messages to warn other ships about the lost cargo is nice so annotations make sense. Really cool video!
Damn, where are the Able Bodied Seamen on the ship???? Sailors have dealt with rough seas for thousands of years and survived because they went out and secured cargo that had broken loose. You're lucky it didn't sink the Ship.
The forward crane caisson looked like it took a beating. Those containers would've been better secured in the hold of a small bulker or maybe a lumber carrier. The flat deck of a narrow general cargo ship can become a highly unstable area in rough weather......especially for cylindrical containers of considerable weight.
just proves the quality of seamanship the crew has,maybe the mate and the captain need to overlook their crew henceforth on all cargo operations....or maybe they never cared...
for anyone seeking what the pcs were or are they look more like high pressure vessels or maybe storage silos transformers don't have funnels at their base and spout holes to displace the contents looks agricultural or maybe giant beer vats
Containers were empty, judging from how high they were floating, so the only thing lost is the containers themselves. Lashing them down without cradles was pretty foolish.
legend has it that hundreds of containers fall of of cargo ships a year, and that they are designed to sink, but don't do so all the time, often just floating below the surface, posing a big threat to recreational boaters.
News Flash: I am always amazed when someone asks what the name of the song is? 1. Not every piece of music has a title 2. For everyone too lazy to look around......the name of the songs are just below the video. 3. Bonus Answer: You can usually buy the song by clinking the linked title to the song. 4. You're welcome.
In a situation like this it's probably best to just watch and let the insurance handle it. Better than sending some guys out there who might get injured or killed, which is a whole lot more liability.
Cargo has been breaking free from its lashings for as long as stuff has been transported by boat. Do you think previous generations of sailors just idly watched loose cargo go over the side (or smash the ship to pieces) because it was too heavy to manhandle?
ps: My plan for the (Submersible) transport vessel would work fine with small load's or even group's of traveller's. It would only be about 80 feet long, (a submersible Clipper Ship=Speedy)! I think the old Clipper ship's were brilliantly designed!
Such a waste of the earths resources. Just shows that these were poorly insecure & poorly lashed down regardless of the conditions, it shouldn't have happened. For all those involved, insurance saves the day, but we all pay for this (indirectly). I'd hate to think what was in these. Even if the world is 3/4's water & can disperse it OK over a short amount of time, just seems such a waste, The loss of cargo at sea is more common than we are lead to believe.
And all you can do is say "not a damn thing you can do about it." You sure as hell wouldn't see me out there trying to relash the cargo in that craziness.
I was wondering what would happen if a captain tried to send a crew out there. No way I’d go, they could lock me up for the rest of the trip before I’d go out there!
No black stuff, just dark water between the white foam. Notice that the cylinders are floating high in the water like balloons. They are empty. For them to have any liquid in then anbecom empty before they went into the sea they would have to been pointing fully veritcal for a long time, wich was not the case. The cylinders are only battened down by wires. They should have been put on cradles also secured to the ship. Bad seamanship here.
If a crew member would go to fix it, what would he have to do? In heavy sea he can't walk around, he has to secure himself with a short leash. He can't sea very well bec. of wind and spray. He can't hear his cptns. commands bec. of the wind and sound of the rolling ship. Now he's in front of this big tank, 1 to heavy, dancing around like a flipper ball. He can't predict where it's going the next second and he shall fasten a rope or leash to it. And if the rope tears it goes around like a wipe.
Cargo be damned...uhuh...thought of what happens when it falls off? The stability of the ship can change dramatically if heavy cargo drops off, in some cases events like that sank ships in minutes.
high paid engineer and dock workers,WTF here is 100 dollars worth of advice.Build steel cradles,weld tanks to cradle , now weld cradles to ship deck.YOUR WELCOME.
the owner of the company who was doing the lashing and the securing on deck was probably very happy to hear the news about the missing cargo at destination :)
Nothing wrong with the music. It actually goes with the flow of the video. Hey ruffneckilla where did you get this video clip. Were you on the ship? What ship was it?
.... these are just some storage tanks, and both nozzles are clearly open. By strapping them down you would probably crush them, vessel like these can't handle pressure coming from the outside.
Well I don't know about the cargo neither does the CEO's of the shipping lines but they have lists and clear instructions on how to handle them also they get a notice of instructions from the shipper(Who in return got a notice from the cargo owner if he is not the cargo owner) The insurance definitely wouldn't agree to insure a cargo if it is not well lashed and tight to the ship's deck The video didn't show what did the three parties(Carrier ,Consignee and Consignor) agreed upon And the PSC(Port State Control) wouldn't let the ship sail from terminal if they have a non-conformity.
Your decision to change course and put the seas behind you caused you to lose those cylinders. Once the first cylinder got loose, you either slow down and continue to go "hove to" into the seas or change course and put the seas on your stern.
Like I told my friend when I was helping him move his sofas with my truck, he asked "why are you putting two straps on there?" My dad said, "Son, you can never put too many tie downs on a cargo"
Too dangerous. Once it starts moving around, men could be crushed, killed, knocked overboard. The cargo is insured, if it's damaged or lost it's a risk of business. Having said that, that's why you use more chains......
Ive done quite a bit of drugs in my life and never would have thought that this music goes well with this video. Any chance you can let me know what you're on? Sounds like fun!!!
@chena3 no, the loading is correct, should be longitudinal ( not across the deck ). but there are no lashings. there must be suffiicent lashings around the cylinders lashed to deck.
It wouldn't be filled with anything if it's to be secured on deck like that i think... if liquid was to be transported it would be in cylinders in a container-frame
I like to think that those cylinders were trying to escape the music being played on the ship.
Oddly enough, it's perfect escape mucic.
No, I like the tune, you can have the cargo
I agree, awful.
Surely putting cylinders on a flat deck and going out to see ir asking for trouble?
The damage was done at the dock during the rigging. Nothing left to do at this point except watch the insurance rates go up.
The sea was rough, but not that rough to lose your cargo. Bad stowing!!!!
Lol. Stop acting like youre better at lashing cargos.
@@tekatoanimeyt3206 Must be. It took you 3 years to break free to make a comment. ;>)
It is stupid to do
This is how containers should be kept - free range!
Those are fermentation tanks. They are used for making beer and other alcohol. They are being shipped empty and are thus light weight, but obviously were not lashed down well.
Shipping containers can be washed overboard in rough seas.
Oh good, didn't loose anything important. Less booz is good.
Meta Tron Well, they float. And were recovered.
lashed down like shit, where are the top-over twin straps? Looks like the same morons who spilled 50 cars into the east china sea.
Brad Rex they were not recovered
Coast Guard, Coast Guard, we are in heavy seas and declaring an emergency. We cannot stop this terrible music! Oh and we are loosing our cargo as well.
This is HORRIBLE !!! the music I mean !
It's horrible OP didn't timestamp it. Gotta sit through 6 minutes waiting for action.

If I was on that ship while that gay music was playing I'd jump over the side too...
Leon Davis haha
Leon Davis haha saves me typing a comment
The music - I'd jump into the sea, too! Fire the dubbing "artist."
And that's why we usually use one inch line all around to secure these drums instead of half inch. But the company did save a few hundred dollars with the half inch.....go figure.......

I can just imagine the captain looking down at the deck thinking "C'mon baby stay on board... NO DON'T GO THAT WAY!!!"
Excellent choice of music for a 90's gay bar!

Clearly those were the cargo. They were being delivered somewhere and were empty....why do people here think there was something in them?
Why do you assume they were empty? Oil floats too.

What's worse is the boat that's gonna hit those tanks, bobbing in the water.

perfect example for incompetency of those who suppose to secure the loads to the deck, to prevent such events

i like how the music kind of makes this awful situation less tragic.... hahaha
Oversized cargo like this is rarely ship in anything at all, with adequate lashing there is no problem at all
Cargo be damned...uhuh...thought of what happens when it falls off? The stability of the ship can change dramatically if heavy cargo drops off, in some cases events like that sank ships in minutes.
high paid engineer and dock workers,WTF here is 100 dollars worth of advice.Build steel cradles,weld tanks to cradle , now weld cradles to ship deck.YOUR WELCOME.
@MrTakeBackAmerica I always think of that. Those men were the bravest we have ever known in human history. The risks, the unknowns, what balls.
It seems that, Captain and C/O did not take measures for the appropriate cargo lashing on deck. They are the only responsibles.
I'm listening to it again and not minding it this time. So maybe you're right.
Video copied from Mikhail Milykh and re-uploaded in bad quality
Captain we just lost another one! Don't worry it's only nuclear waste and it was headed for Nevada. They have plenty more where that came from.

Well I don't know about the cargo neither does the CEO's of the shipping lines but they have lists and clear instructions on how to handle them also they get a notice of instructions from the shipper(Who in return got a notice from the cargo owner if he is not the cargo owner)
The insurance definitely wouldn't agree to insure a cargo if it is not well lashed and tight to the ship's deck
The video didn't show what did the three parties(Carrier ,Consignee and Consignor) agreed upon
And the PSC(Port State Control) wouldn't let the ship sail from terminal if they have a non-conformity.
They told me my big honk'n tanks were on back order! They didn't tell me I could just go out and pick them up!
these can wreck havoc on a passing vessel while floating at sea
aw man, should have told me there was rave music would have gotten my glow sticks out, i love raving to cargo loss in rough seas
Your decision to change course and put the seas behind you caused you to lose those cylinders. Once the first cylinder got loose, you either slow down and continue to go "hove to" into the seas or change course and put the seas on your stern.
Like I told my friend when I was helping him move his sofas with my truck, he asked "why are you putting two straps on there?" My dad said, "Son, you can never put too many tie downs on a cargo"
Somewhere on the coast of Africa, someone has a metal container filled with unknown materials to deal with. And some sailor is in deep shit.
Too dangerous. Once it starts moving around, men could be crushed, killed, knocked overboard. The cargo is insured, if it's damaged or lost it's a risk of business.
Having said that, that's why you use more chains......
When you're losing Cargo, but you're also close to Ibiza:
Ive done quite a bit of drugs in my life and never would have thought that this music goes well with this video. Any chance you can let me know what you're on? Sounds like fun!!!
they start to fall off at 2:35 skip to there and avoid this music...
thumbs up for easy skip
@chena3 no, the loading is correct, should be longitudinal ( not across the deck ). but there are no lashings. there must be suffiicent lashings around the cylinders lashed to deck.
I think all merchant ships should be set up with .50 cal machine guns to sink lost cargo - and for pirates! The seas would be safer - and more fun!
the cargo floated thankfully and was recovered after days , if not they will be lost to the 5500m deep pacific ocean
"HEY LET'S WALK OUT IN THE STORM AND TRY TO LASH A SEVERAL HUNDRED KILOGRAMS HEAVY PIECE OF CARGO THAT MAY OVERROLL US AND SMASH US OVER BORD"
It wouldn't be filled with anything if it's to be secured on deck like that i think... if liquid was to be transported it would be in cylinders in a container-frame
