I'm a Turkish sailor who visits Greek Islands very often with own yacht; every time a ferry approaches the harbor I get up and watch the whole process with joy and respect. Greek commercial captains are extremely skillful. Congratulations!
Have you ever tried watching paint drying. ?...if they had taken any longer the med would have evaporated. !!!!... British captains use engines and thrusters....Greek cabin boys use winches. ...very amateur , They need to go back to school. 🤡
@@AA-69 I wonder how old the footage is? It looks to me like he maybe has bow thrusters,, I think they did that with twin screws and winches. Better than I could do it. Then again,, I am a rag bagger,, single under powered screw with feathering blades. (Meaning reverse is not a certain thing. You use prop walk to help swing the turn.) You are absolutely correct,, thrusters fore and aft would make that a lot easier.
Leonardo Mourão respect also for the three workers who secured the ship on the dock risking being swept by the big waves and the ship's maneuvers contributing to this, into the sea!
This docking & load/unload process looks beyond the words... What a skillful Captain and crews of this ship! Amazing! Much respect ✊ for whoever they are and personality I love & respect Greece for many reasons ❤️
The Greeks have always been a nation of great seafarers with outstanding seamanship. The risk of the sailors is not for fun. They know what they are doing!
As a Manxman who lives in the middle of the Irish Sea, much rougher than the Aegean, all I can say is that you Greeks are the greatest. No way we'd try that. Respect!
Greek captains shouldn't have to have to try that but they have to work under such conditions with such infrastructure. This is what the video description says in its Greek part, above. Now mind you, the Aegean Sea is very tricky. It is not so much the size of waves but rather the unpredictable currents that do the harm. Experienced sailors from all over the world and most notably from Greece itself have been lost for underestimating what they could think of as a mundane "wavy sea"'.
It was more action packed in the old days Snaefell Tynwald Ben-my-Chree. But even 30 years ago, there were adventures to be had (tempting to say riding the Manx Maid), turning in the harbour before the new breakwater was built watching the wooden plank decks heel over at 30’ to the green water over the big rectangular windows at the bottom of the slope, big stacks of plates smashing, toast and butter, cup of tea. Climbing up the ladders inside the funnel and pushing up the trap door. Great days.
Wow that is amazing maneuvering, didn’t realize that part of the process for Greece to receive the necessities. God keep all the crew and onshore assistance safe.
A+ Captain! The Greeks were born to do this! Really incredible to see this (and to hear the conversation of the person who filmed with another). Loved the waves splashing, the music and the wind hitting the speaker discomforts the listener just enough to make you feel you’re there risking your own life like these people. Like a Hollywood film, but real life!!
chapeau, chapeau. Bei so einem Seegang rückwärts mit dem Heck anzuliegen, das ist Können. Wahres Können. So was habe ich noch nie gesehen. Dem Kaptitän und seiner Crew ein dickes Lob.
Вот это абалдеть здорово аж дух захватывает я живя на Урале ни когда это не пойму, молодцы вы там прям все герои хотя это ваша повседневная жизнь но посмотрев это видео вы для меня герои
The captain is a real hero. He took a calculated risk. If he didn't take this risk, the island would be isolated for a week without medical and food support. My full respect to the captain and the crew.
@Joseph Kobatake Ferries I know , all over , carrie people , cars , buses , chickens, goats , cows , some even carrie elephants. A ferry , can carry anything. It's a very strong vessel. Take care.
Grande Capitano e bravi marinai, sempre emozionante, per me, che amo la Grecia, vedere immagini talmente "vere" e non i soliti, (stupendi) tramonti, su villaggi a picco sul mare...
As a merchant sea man I been to a lot of Greek islands I have seen a lot of this ferry they got a lot of islands and a lot of ferries I give a lot of Congratulations to this Captain he got BALLS BRAVO CAPTAIN FROM A U.S. MERCHANT SEA MAN THANKS
This is a picture of the brave naval Greek spirit rite there. This is what has kept our great country afloat thru the centuries. Long live the brave crew , wherever they may be today. RESPECT.👌👌👌👌👌
That was frickin amazing. I have no idea how difficult it is to drive ships in calm let alone fighting all of that. I do know how to drive pleasure craft (small one) and docking that in a high wind or storm is crazy and can cause so much damage if you do not know what you are doing. So standing o to the captain because he deserves all good things for that move.
i have to say that good job Captain and Bravo two time but hi is not alone ... if you visit the engine room at this time you will understand for the tension that is there to keep all the machinery’s in good order and to be ready for the next command from the bridge . The Greek Captain are the most skillful on maneuvers . Thanks to the Crew included the Captain the island have provisions and connection with shore . Bravo one more time
i was just thinking that,, of course the captain did brilliant but there was a lot of good team work , on the bridge , in the engine room , on the deck and even some good work from the guys onshore,,, jeez, can you just imagine that in an english harbour ( or prob an american one ) the whole crew would be in jail...
They would, if they pay their bills by Greek money, by other EU members ...I know this cos my sis in law marriet with Greek man. Nice person but always broken if asked.
Realmente impressionante esse desembarque com mar tão agitado, isso mostra que devem estar acostumados com esse tipo de dificuldade, meus parabéns aos tripulantes e as pessoas envolvidas nesse desembarque e embarque ( write em Português)
Absolutely outstanding ..did not think that a heavy truck would come out..and then off again.. Imagine that at Dover/Calais crossing 😀😀😀👍👍 Quick turnaround
So he dropped his anchor(s) and held to land with the stern lines. Most impressive. And the skill & courage of port personnel & passengers including drivers is also remarkable.
Not for the faint hearted! If you don't try you'll never know. It paid off in this instance. This wasn't a big problem, It went like clockwork, without a hitch. Can't say better than that! Nice one🙂👍
Championship! Just congratulations on the precision of the chef and the courage of the 1st officer. I wish the crew further successes. Additional congratulations on the recording. Regards ☺
Wow...such precision ! 👍 However was it worth risking a ship for 5 passengers and 2 vehicles ? Maybe the Captain was testing his skills and he passed 100%...perfection ! 🙏🏴
@@DrPepper22222 ok, I didn't realize that. Here in Canada on the Pacific the ferry docks need to be adjustable to account for tide differences that through the year swing over 16 feet or 5m.

True
Play in the North Sea for some fun and games....

Correction: Greek captains have been sailing on rough seas for centuries. Most Captains are captains for maybe 20 years. Some good, some not so good.

Do you not get a sore bum. ?
For my money, that's incredibly impressive. This is real seamanship from a proper captain and crew, just going about their daily job. Wow!

This is mind blowing! Better than any sci fi movie I’ve seen! I’m 40, I’ve seen some sci fi so, don’t judge me :)
I´d sail with a greek captain any day of the year , these men know the waters and the equipment , bravo to the captain and the crew

Passengers: That's never going to work.

outstanding piloting, respect to the captain and ground crew
Two things Greek captains have
Passion for the ocean
And 10kg balls
I have been a sailor for ten years but not seen this kind of manoeuvring. Salute to the guys on the bridge.
What compensates for tide height? This way of docking only seems like it would work at high tide to allow vehicles on or off.
I don't think there's much rise in the tide on most of the Med.
@@DrPepper22222 ok, I didn't realize that. Here in Canada on the Pacific the ferry docks need to be adjustable to account for tide differences that through the year swing over 16 feet or 5m.
@@Geoff_G Yes it's the same for us in the UK, but I think the Med only goes up and down a meter or less because it's enclosed.
he is not a captain .He is THE CAPTAIN!!!!
He’s not alone! You definitely mean: It’s not a Captain, he’s THE CAPTAIN and it’s not a crew , they’re THE CREW! GREAT JOB from all of them!
never seen before anyone trying to "land" a ship.
