Winch only by the helicopter landing area on a ship means the area is not strong enough for the helicopter to actually land on. Any supplies, rescuers or injured parties need to be transferred from the helicopter to the ship or vice versa via the helicopters winch and cable only.
Winch Only: In addition to comments below, could also mean there is not enough clearance for the props between the cranes for a helicopter to land, especially if the ship is rolling and pitching in a heavy sea.
I’m subscribed to farmers in Ontario Canada who are currently harvesting corn which I saw them plant last spring. So now I’ve seen the process through to export, I only need to see it being unloaded to finish the process. I am wondering though, what kind of lung cancer can you get from breathing in grain dust? 🇨🇦
I thought the same thing when I saw all the dust and no one was using any type of breathing protection. I can't imagine the crew doesn't feel that in their lungs for days.
Here is a video I did showing a different ship unloading grain at a different facility in the Toledo area in the Maumee River. th-cam.com/video/jr5pqdcjLE8/w-d-xo.html
it don;t matter what's being harvested it;'s what in storage and what's in demand!! and the lung ailment is akin to black lung disease i forget the name right now!!
It's amazing how well the ships hold up given how rough they look. I'm told it's all cosmetic and nothing serious when it comes to rust or structure damage.
i think that's wheat not corn it seems a bit too tan to be corn!! you sure that was NS traffic they mentioned Willard and NS doesn't run here this is the CSX east west mainline to killago for northern Oho!! NS runs north south through Attica about 8 miles west of Willard and east west through Norwalk 6 miles north of here!!
The reason I think it's corn is because it looked too big to be wheat to me, but I certainly could be wrong. I just assumed it was NS radio traffic because its Chicago main line crosses the swing bridge next to the facility. My scanner may have picked up CSX traffic but usually it can't pickup anything more than a few miles away.
@@nkyrailfan i couldn't tell much about the size from the video but being around farms (and moonshiners!!) over the years i can tell you corn is more yellow than the tan side of brown that wheat has plus they normally let crops sit in storage a few months after harvest so it's condition stabilizes and going by that wheat would have sat 3 to 4 months and have stabilized! and cheapskate may be sharing that line too!!
Wonderful video!
Awesome video and enjoyed watching once again. Have a wonderful rest of your week.(Steve)
Another fantastic coverage of rarely seen industrial activity. Only here can they be seen. Thanks!
Thank you very much.
I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed the video.
What an excellent video. Thanks so much.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the great info!
I really do appreciate it.
@@nkyrailfan sometimes they sent port pilots via helicopters too, they do it a lot in Rotterdam.
@KoeddkHD thanks for the info.
I never thought about how those local pilots would get on the boats.

That's a very good point.

@@nkyrailfan Thanks for the video. I notice there is no dust with this method. I suspect there would be less dust on loading this ship too.

@55VickyV I would imagine you are correct regarding the dust.
For a 3 year old vessel…She looks like she has been rode hard
