⚓️Duluth Lift Bridge Encounters an Immense New Ship!

  • The new 623-foot ship "Musala" arrived from Lake Superior and passed under the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, MN.
    Many people have been waiting for this ship to pick up its anchor and head into Duluth. The ship was built in 2023, so it's super new and very impressive looking! This was the first time I saw this ship and I couldn't believe how high up out of the water it was as it approached the Aerial Lift Bridge. The white paint on the superstructure was extremely bright and fresh too. Obviously, there were a few scrapes along the haul as it went through the Soo Locks and other places on its way to Duluth.
    Besides this ship being new and really tall, the captain blasted a Master Salute with the horn as it arrived in the Duluth ship canal. The three huge yellow deck cranes were very impressive as well.
    There was worry that this ship would be stuck because of the labor strike preventing vessel traffic from moving on the St. Lawrance Seaway, but a tentative agreement was reached today meaning this ship will be able to make it back out to the ocean with its cargo. Here's more information about the tentative deal allowing this ship and others to move again. www.cbc.ca/new...
    The Musala was on its way to load wheat at the CHS terminal in Superior, WI. It should be on its way in a few days. This ship is so powerful and clean-looking. I can't wait to see it again!

    Musala is the highest mountain in Bulgaria.

      I pinned this comment to the top! What a fitting name for such a tall big ship! Here’s more information about the mountain Boat Friends. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musala

      She is a mountain onto herself ! What a beauty she is. Navibulgar is the largest commercial shipping company in Bulgaria {her owner). Quite an old company too. Welcome to the US Musala & safe travels.

      There has been many efforts to rename this peak due to religious reasons. Origin of the name. It's been very controversial. So far these efforts have not succeeded. Right after the video was posted yesterday I looked up the meaning of this ship. I typically do this first thing. It's always very interesting to learn about far away places.

    The good news is the strike is over and the seaway is open for business again. The bad news is it'll take over a week to catch up with all the ships waiting lol. Musala may have been waiting for the strike to be over before she loaded her grain.

    What a beast of a ship! So massive, especially in height with her tall freeboard (distance from the waterline to the main deck).
    This is her first United States port of call....and only her 2nd voyage. Built mid 2023. The first call being in Romania (Black Sea). Congratulations Duluth.
    This vessel is the third to be named Musala in this fleet. The previous ones are no longer. Musala is the heighest peak in Bulgaria....the country where this shipping company is based.

  • @chuckg6039

    I'm always intrigued by the size and design of the cranes. I noticed the SWL (Safe Working Load) stamped on the cranes showed 35 tons. I then carefully looked at the previous 3 salties you did. They too all showed 35. Prior to these, I saw one ship had a 25 ton load limit. So 35 seems to be the most popular working load for cranes we see arriving in the Twin Ports. But our yellow ship Happy River reflected a 40 ton load capacity on the cranes......thus living up to the name on her hull of 'Big Lift'.

    This ship or should we called it boat according to great lake convention is likely to carry a load of grain to China. Sad part is with our relationship with China, she might not come to visit us again. PS it is always an amazing sight to see ships flying under different flags at the land locked twin ports.

    • @vibewithmike
      @vibewithmike  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think we called this one a ship, I still call even the Great Lakes boats, ships, I do that because TH-cam will allow people to find these videos better by using the word ship. However, we know those Great lake vessels are called boats.

    Hi Mike, I create scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and I am currently updating Sky Harbor (KDYT) I have animated the lift bridge, and have a ship coming through and passing the airport, but it occurs to me that this may not be realistic. Can you give me any ideas as to where the various ship traffic goes once it has passed under the bridge?
    Many thanks.

      Pilots provide navigational and operational assistance .....especially with canal/harbor situations. Pilots are experts in local waters. They don't physically operate the ship. That is still done by the captain and crew. The Captain always has the last say on everything and is ultimately responsible for safe operation of the ship. Think of a pilot as being an advisor to the Captain.

    So are the 2 different horn sounds coming from the vessel or is the 1st one coming from the vessel and the 2nd different sounding coming from the bridge? I don't get it.

    • @vibewithmike
      @vibewithmike  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The ship starts the salute and the bridge responds. There have been a few questions about the boat and bridge signal horns when the boats are entering and leaving the Port of Duluth. In most cases, once radio communication with the bridge has been established, use of the boat and bridge sound signals are not necessary and operation of the sound signals is left up to the captains. Often, boats will not use the loud horns after dark as a courtesy to city residents. So, most often when you hear the customary whistle/horn-blowing sequence of "long-short-short" it is a friendly salute to the Port of Duluth from the ship captain and is responded to by the lift bridge operator with the same sequence. The Master Salute is an upgraded more formal whistle/horn salute. That is “long-long-long-short-short.” While the famous sound may be a courtesy, it has long been part of the nautical tradition of this great inland sea port.
