Iron Ore Transfer Barges Whyalla S.A.

[@OzbeachAndy]

Yes we were in Whyalla and I saw the barges going back and forth so a good opportunity to put drone up. Cheers mate 🍺👍🍷🇦🇺

[@DonJoyce]

Wow! Interesting process...and what weirdly shaped containment structures above deck! Great story, Andy!

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks Don I have to agree with the interesting process of transferring the Ore. I was lucky to have taken the footage over two days whilst in Whyalla. Cheers mate

Great video work Andy. Thanks for posting. About 10 years ago I regularly drove from Adelaide to work on the hydraulic systems of the FOTB Spencer Gulf, the two barges and also the CSL Whyalla. Interesting times but also hard work.

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks for watching.I watched these barges load up and thought at the time how odd that these barges depended on the tugs to tow them out.
Cheers mate 🇦🇺🍷⛴️

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks Mary. I just happened to being in Whyalla a few days and thought I would try this ship chase. Glad you enjoyed the footage and music. Take care 🍷🇦🇺🌹

Great capture from above Andy - that's what I love about drones, you would never be able to capture this from the ground. Many thanks for sharing :)

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks Shaun your right I could never have captured these shots with my box brownie lol cheers mate ☕️🍺🍷🇦🇺👍

[@skywalkerallan1877]

Superb shooting, what clarity the Mavic produced in this great shoot, well done Andy.

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks Allan it was with the djiAir2s and with the Zoom X 4 for the close ups. Total distance from takeoff 1.5 klm cheers mate 👍🐶

[@PixiesChannel12345]

[@northeastdroneproductions]

Geez I've missed a few. Man great views here. Something a bit different for you, nice mate :)

[@skybug3]

Great subject and video. PIty we can't process more ore and add value here in South Australia.

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks Dave. I was lucky to have taken this footage over two days and to have the two barges passing each other. Cheers 🇦🇺👍☕️

[@billyb5057]

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks Billy glad you liked the footage cheers mate ☕️🍷🇦🇺👍

[@Peter_Carroll]

Great views of the iron ore loading and the tugs. 🍷 🇦🇺 🍷

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks Peter I think this might be my first Ship (Barge) chase lol. Interesting though to see there’s barges at work. Cheers mate 🍷🇦🇺👍🍺

[@borryborry3813]

the barges are manned when loading, and also the fwd tug needs assistance from barge crew to secure tow line.

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks Barry for that information. On several occasions that I have watched these barges I had observed barge crew secure tow lines to front tug and rear tugs. I would have like to have got footage of the discharging pontoon that’s outback at sea, but a little too far to fly the drone lol cheers mate and thanks for watching.🦘🍷🇦🇺⛴️🛟

[@Accolades70]

Where does the Barge go to ??

[@OzbeachAndy]

Thanks for watching Mark under the video is details about these barges. But in short they go about 7 kilometres out to sea to transfer the load on iron ore cargo ships. These ships size are unable to go to the ports at Whyalla as its to shallow. Cheers mate

[@Accolades70]

@@OzbeachAndy jus a Male look then. :-)

[@MoviemaniaNick]
