This was a magnificent 2-part video. I always wanted to cross an ocean on a modern container ship as a guest. I'm now way too old to ever do it. But you have allowed me to vicariously live my fantasy adventure.
Moin Moin von einem ehemaligen Nordlicht! Until July 2018 I lived in Halifax, awesome to see the city from a sailor's view. As a truck driver I often carried ACL (and other lines') container out of the terminal and across the MacKay Bridge (the second in the video).
I enjoyed that one, great series. Regarding practice launches of that type of Life Boat, that's the easy part, getting them back on the gantry can be a challenge :-)
Boa noite amados, parabéns pelo belo vídeo, o navio é magnífico muito lindo e bonito, saudades do mar. Que nosso Deus ilumine sempre suas vidas e família, que proteja todos desta bela profissão.
looks like you had a good Atlantic crossing, by pure coincidence I sailed out of Liverpool to Iceland only a few days later, Fascinated to know how they can keep track of each container, i.e. where it is going from/to and what is inside, so they can be loaded/unloaded in order and tracked
Originally from 1948’ to 1985’ weather ships surveyed the Atlantic collecting weather data , and if rescue was required , now Buoys and cargo vessels do the same, interesting journey 👌🏻
My my, how my former home town of Halifax has grown up and modern looking. I bet the water is clean enough in the harbor to swim in even. I hope to move back when I retire as I can't stand the dead smell of the prairies. There is no better smell to wake up to than salty air.
Halifax, NS, Canada, is a city. It may not be as big as some, but to us, it's a big city. lol I'm Canadian, and have been in Halifax and Dartmouth (sister city to Halifax on other side of river). I live about a 4 hr. drive away from there in New Brunswick.
Amazing to see Daryl alone on the bridge.How is the ship steered?I photograhed this vessel leaving Liverpool yesterday from across the Mersey.And just by chance I was looking up the ship's details online and discovered these videos.Wonderful!
I worked at Shell Oil in Martinez Calif in 1990 on the Wharf..We we're putting in a Vapor Recovery System for the Ships...I'm a Retired UA 342 Welder....When the Ships came in we had to Stop Welding...The Guys on the Ships got off and just wanted to know where the closest Bar was...The Ships were from Different Countries and most of the Guys couldn't or barely spoke English... We got the Guys a Taxi and we'd tell the Driver to take them to the nearest Bar....Some of the Guys Stayed behind and Painted thier Country Flag on the Pier...Some of the Guys were Puking the next Day as they were trying to ask us where they could go...Sight seeing...At the gas stations the pumps had two hoses back then and that was to recover the vapors coming off the Gas...So you can imagine the size on the Pipe they needed to get the Vapor from a Ship...I think we ran a 12",8", and a 4" line out to the Ship....
I am merchant mariner since 1997 and I have beem working as officer on cargovessels since 2001, and now as master, I have never used a uniform :) it is mostly on cruise ships they use uniforms.. I have only had to use uniform in some shipyard seremony and stuff like that. It is much more comfortable to use your normal clothes and regular working clothes when on deck off course..
This is very interesting for a ship nerd like me, thank you so much for sharing. But please, I beg you: turn the music volume down. I can barely hear the people talk so I turn up the volume and then boooom VERY LOUD MUSIC. It's terrible. But apart from that I appreciate this series:-)
This is worse than episode 1, I can't hear shit. Such a shame, this could've been great, but it sucks. Fucking music. And one of the tracks are overused on YT if you watch yacht reviews you know what I mean. Grrrrrrr

I hope you read this comment. I see the Atlantic Sky is also a Ro-Ro ship. Is it possible to book a passage from Antwerp to Halifax and also taking an RV with you? And for the return voyage in a few months from New York to Antwerp?
Helge Christiansen Cool, I’m going on one in Feb, how about the bow etc can you just walk around? Or do you have to stay in the middle living quarters? What about smoking, i presume there’s an area outside? Thanks
I think in case of emergency you are doomed! How will you find your way to the "Life Boat" when you're all excited? Besides, the drop to the water may make you think twice: is this really necessary?
Not true at all. And by the way, what would be the great advantage having a guy stand for his 4 hours at the bridge. The Empire, the Quen perhaps or what.
@@darklord1134 This is a small Containership.....by modern containership standards. But it is also very specialist in that in can carry Cars, Lorries, buses...even yachts in her holds. Most container ships cannot enter Liverpool docks: (Seaforth) the locks are very small by modern standards. Compare this with the "MV Ever Given" which got stuck in the Suez Canal back in March. (2022) It's about a third of the size. When container ships became "popular" they built Seaforth in Liverpool with no foresight whatsoever. It can only handle what are known as "shuttle container ships". Felixstowe in Suffolk is the UK's biggest container port..... and every container has to travel by lorry to all corners of the UK.... What a complete mess. Massive congestion. Pollution and misery. A modern, full sized container port is needed in the North of the country..... Where is the "levelling up"? Yup...Our Government is totally inept. Don't expect any change soon.
I really don't understand the economics of a CONRO vessel. Aside from the additional construction Capex, would be much more efficient to just loan and unload containers from a typical box carrier. Ultra Large Container Ships seem to be the economical way to move containers.
every day a balloon in the ocean for information , that's this vessel. How many vessels are worldwide in ocieans , that is a lot of plastic dat op deze manier in de ocianen terecht komt .
Not all vessels launch balloons. The weather messages are normally being prepared by handomatic means and your eyes. The only nformation gathered is vital importance to create a proper idea of the climate and changes. Shore/landbased meteo stations are launching balloons everyday and may-be upto 4 a day. Its not for fun but to provide us with a weather forcast thats reliable for more than a few hours ahead.
Do the weather balloons self destruct and fall into the sea after data has been gathered. It concerns me that they may be a danger to passing aircraft otherwise.
corey lahey What? They climb to tens of thousand of feet, well into and far above any planes route. Eventually the air gets so thin they expand beyond bursting point, blow themselves apart and return to earth.
Quoting the Wikipedia: "The balloon is usually filled with hydrogen due to lower cost, though helium can also be used. The ascent rate can be controlled by the amount of gas with which the balloon is filled. Weather balloons may reach altitudes of 40 km (25 mi) or more, limited by diminishing pressures causing the balloon to expand to such a degree (typically by a 100:1 factor) that it disintegrates. In this instance the instrument package is usually lost,[7] although a parachute may be used to help in allowing retrieval of the instrument. Above that altitude sounding rockets are used, and for even higher altitudes satellites are used. " I assume they will sink to the bottom of the sea eventually. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_balloon
As can be seen, only the deck rating wore his hard hat; the deck officer in blue and both engine personnel were not wearing their hard hats; how safety conscious are these seafarers?
John McGarva No , I do not walk around at home wearing a hard hat, but I have been working at sea 48 years, and according to safety standards,it is mandatory to wear hard hat when on deck.
There is over 50.000 ships sailing the world today, and if 4/5 of them launches weather balloons every day, no wonder we're fucked. I could build my coffin out of latex myself if i walked down to the beach.
That ship is quite new ( 2017 ) but it’s seems to pump out a hell of a lot of pollution into the atmosphere , every time your camera was pointed at the funnel lots of pollution coming out of it , and just to think there are thousand’s of these huge ships at sea at any one time , just a thought I suppose jet aircraft are just as bad and there are thousands of then in the sky at any one time , no wonder we are all heading south 👎🏿

Most of what you see coming out the stack isn't that harmful. The stuff that the human eye can't detect, like nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, (and to a lesser degree, dioxide), oxides of sulfur is the stuff we don't need, and believe it or not, modern engines are putting out MUCH less of the bad stuff than in decades past. The visible components include soot, or the new buzzword, "particulate", and water vapor (caused by the hot exhaust condensing against cooler surfaces on its way up the stack).
Salt bush Bill Ships are a major source of pollution, but the actual amount per ton of cargo carried is surprisingly small. The ships carry such vast quantities they are actually the most efficient way to transport goods. To fly the same amount of charge the same distance would require hundreds of plane loads and many, many times the fuel.
Having served in the Royal Canadian Navy, the video entering Halifax harbour brings back so many fond memories. Thanks!! :)
Great video!
3rd officer Daryl seem to be such a responsible and professional young man, who takes his duties with the highest amount of seamanship
Wow! Thanks for the crossing. I watch you coming and going from Halifax, but this is first crossing for me!

GREAT VIDS, NICE TO SEE MY HOME TOWN OF LIVERPOOL.
I did really enjoy, same as 1st part...
Great video
Cool video. Halifax was home for a few years. It is a beautiful city.
Amazing ship!
Good video of life on board a container ship🚢👍
I like the design. Very safe and able to hold cargo in place.
Pretty boring stuff, why post?
Also biggest vessels of there type in the world, built to withstand the northern Atlantic sea winter.
La verdad: me interesaría más hacer el viaje en uno de estos, que en uno de esos cruceros superlujosos para ricachos. Este es un buque serio!

Dear Henry!
Yes, it is possible! Contact Grimaldi. It is their Job to carry everything
Are you allowed to wonder the ships decks as you please? Or only when guided by a crew member?
Before entering the ship bridge, I always asked if I could enter. they always agreed. ship engine only accompanied
Helge Christiansen Cool, I’m going on one in Feb, how about the bow etc can you just walk around? Or do you have to stay in the middle living quarters? What about smoking, i presume there’s an area outside? Thanks

Yes, also the safest possible way, also note it's from the stern and not from the side, and that you might work out yourself.
I’m surprised the officer on watch is permitted to sit down, usually it isn’t
Not true at all. And by the way, what would be the great advantage having a guy stand for his 4 hours at the bridge. The Empire, the Quen perhaps or what.
Can anyone tell me how do you arrange to buy passage on the ACL Atlantic Sky?
Rodney Morgan Brown Get in touch with them directly but it ain't cheap ..
@@guesswho7664 do you know about how much it costs to travel on a cargo/container ship across the atlantic or pacific?
Normally it cost about $100 per day
What does this cost?

Yes, the Titanic was only a small ship compared to the behemoths of today.

Mixed cargo? Like cons on top and i.e. vehicles or other non-containerized cargo below. Can make sense when calling on the "not mega=ports".
The weather baloon is rubber......it will soon land in Atlantic waters...a deadly bait for sea creatures such as turtles and fish alike.
And?
Is there a place to sit outside and read a book?
a lot of beautiful places!
Wow, 300 Dollar for each launch of a balloon, on who s account is that????, a weatherinstitude or the ship owner,.

Please ask Grimaldi ACL lines about this matter
No

And it will not move with the wind then but with the ship.
are there Indonesians working there.?.
