if any person, anywhere, is not learning something, every day, then he or she is wasting their lives the power of oil hydraulics never ceases to astound me. Well done!!
I enjoy watching the big boys go at it. I work with a much smaller team of salvors but the principals are pretty much the same. If brute force is not working, it means you are not using enough of it.
Excellent content and very informative on just how complex today's salvage operations are. Good to see India and Pakistan are progressive enough to reuse the scrap waste from thse wrecks. Good on Moenmet for an outstanding salvaging job.
This was incredible to watch! I love this company and their ability to imagine and attempt new ways of seeing a wreck and figuring out how to perform a salvage. Brilliant!!!
I have manufactured and worked with ( big gear) utmost respect to the people that do this work.To think that they have the black cloud hanging over them of arrest at what could be perceived as criminal is just a joke.
I hope the captain went to prison. The minute you have a sketchy engine you drop anchor(s). This simple act would have saved millions and the environment.
The authority’s were keen to have the wreck moved quickly but did they have the previous and underneath wreck removed while all the equipment was on site
How many times did I hear that the se two oceans meet and dangerous? Come on -- a little less repetitive narrative PLEASE!!! You'd do better to shoot in sequence instead of thrashing back and forth in time!
1:22 I would like to point out that they where not piled precariously high. That was not even a normal high for that ship. Any stevedore would tell you that loading a ship has a lot of math involved and the heavier containers are in fact at the bottom of the ship. They are in the part of the the ship you can't see unless they are hulling a bulk load. Then that load is heavier than the ISO's on top of it. Why start off with misinformation?
Few jobs allow you to do something fun, help the environment and local communities all while making a decent living. Tons of travel to scary places with smelly jails and no court system is a negative.

Or a lack of ignorance
Or buoyancy
I think that if brute force is not enough,, they should have used a bit more smart force!!! dug a channel for the ship to slide into

The shot of the chains in the mist at 32:00 is stunning!
wonderful video....thank you from the USA...Paul
Very good documentary
I'd say Mammoet Salvage was in deep Schiet from the start on this one!
Blessings to all the men who worked on that project with health and strength and safety 🙏

Very informative and entertaining. I really enjoyed watching this video second by second.

Less yacky yacky and more WORKY WORKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!98% YACK!
The narator keeps saying pulleys when they are pullers

Titans of picking it up and putting it down cutting it up & moving it around
This was way more of an AD than anything else!! Never did see the Stern pulled out
The time-lapse is fascinating!
Heck that’s a difficult job. There’s dozens of different methods, I can’t help but wonder how differently it would be done in different countries.
Nice video thanks BUT the 2 oceans DO NOT meet here but much further south at Cape Agulhas the southern tip of Africa.
could they put the ship on logs as it arrives on the beach
The Atlantic and Indian Oceans don't meet here, they meet at Cape Agulhas close to +- 2Hrs from Cape Town 34 Deg S Lat: 18 Deg E Long.
Such a cool project. I wonder if making a tramway with steel beams could have helped to decrease friction.
The authority’s were keen to have the wreck moved quickly but did they have the previous and underneath wreck removed while all the equipment was on site
Interesting question. I suspect it would have cost them too much, so meh, leave it there, we can't see it anyway.
Very interesting & detailed.
Too bad a salvage company can't be found to salvage South Africa.

Skid plate,,,, skid plate
Very interesting
All this equipment shipping and staff on private jet if required etc.
Must be a big invoice! 😬
Ancient history
Their headquarters looks like a nuclear cooling tower.😃
It actually mimmicks a vessel mooring.
This narrator sounds just like Fabian Kingsworth (voiced by Kayvan Novak), the head of IIA in the animated spy series Archer. Uncanny similarity.
What a wreck 🙄
Now defunct Mammoet’s salvage
This is not where the Atlantic & Indian Oceans meet

How do you think the kings live like kings? Getting out of trouble with a bribe is cheaper than a US attorney.
Enough info pull the boat
Too much chopping to other eralivent stuff not much salvage shown🤨
Irrelevant not eralivent. 😅😅😅😂😂
This episode is horribly edited with constant repeat shots and repetitive narration.
Terrible editing. Repeating same information multiple times.
This documentary layout is so scatter brained, jumping around and not in order, stating the same thing many time.
Those guys move me .
A 12 minute video stretched and pulled by repeatedly going over the same information over and over and over.
arrested ... and the backup of our legal team... we know how to get out of it..... 'Who do we Pay"
This vid is all over the place. Waste of time, too repetitive, doesn’t stay on track
How many times did you guys repeat the same stuff? I appreciate the story, but your process was absolutely horrid. Cover a topic and move on.
I'm sick of hearing that phrase, "environmental friendly" , please.
Unfortunately for you, that phrase is at the tip of a lot of companies’ tongues.
Too many adverts! And for total crap.
Please get your facts right, no excuse! East London is not the Wild Coast and neither does the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet there
LI’m
Just hope the countries that get the metal don’t decide to shoot it at the USA. Like Japan did.
So stup'edly dramatic, lol!!!
The talking heads suck edit them out 😦
30:59 This dude tells it like he was there but I guarantee he was in an office somewhere.
Why have the narrator speak in such a false and grating way?
Wait so they HAVE to employ black workers to get the job?
Locals get to work and the company pockets hundreds of thousands from not bringing in their own.
Welcome to modern South Africa.

Im a pirate. Butt pirate that is.......Arrrh!
