Going down into the lower portions of a ship that's been neglected for a few weeks can be extremely dangerous. Heavy gasses can displace the oxygen and you can be overcome in just one or two breaths.
Easy question to answer: An increasing number of worn out Russian oil tankers have been used to circumvent Western sanctions against exporting Russian oil. however, when an individual ship comes on the sanctions list. it is done for. it can't be sold, it loses its value to any international shipper.
? You can buy it change the name and flag and boom no sanctions? Why would a russian shitp sold and operated by someone from panama be sanctioned? The russian side needs tankers so what they sell is broken and used up that is why we wont see them for sale?
@ half serious. If a boat is owned by Russia, left as a derelict craft by Russians (either military or private industry), what’s stopping a country like the Philippines from appropriating and putting their flag on it? Would the boat still be sanctioned? If so, it’s kind of silly.
@@dustinandtarynwolfe5540 It is common knowledge. Nobody wants to haul cargo in a ship that can't be ensured and Russian exporters like Rosneft? will have the ship turned around if it venture into another country's territorial waters. That in essence makes the ship useless. The owner might wait out the war and hope sanctions will be lifted soon. but he can't really do anything with it.
Probably an swedish built vessel as the TOS lathe is delivered by an swedish company from Malmö, also the Column drilling machine is made in sweden by Strands
@@pribor_3333 you are correct, i just noticed the suppliers nameplate on the lathe. A company in Malmö Sweden imported and delivered the lathe to the ship yard but the lathe is manufactured as you mentioned in Czechoslovak.
The fact that the oligarch just abandoned the vessel instead of coordinating its sale and scrapping...that must be an expensive process for turn key oil smugglers.
If only the ship was maintained to class, she has all the usualspares required as an ex merchant engineer its good to see a well preserved vessel!!! < New sub mate
It's understandable that a lot of ships get abandoned by their owners. Sometimes the cost to have it scrapped is more than it's really worth, so they just leave it. The scrapping cost is often steep because of asbestos. And to send the ship around the world to Gadani Beach, Pakistan or Chittagong, Bangladesh also costs a pile of money that most owners don't want to pay out.
10:56 made the day. Lol, you know there are russians onboard when there are Freqency counters just random under the cristmas tree. Prolly to check what frq santa was using.
Rule #1 when exploring is always make sure doors can be opened from both sides. Rule #2 Take nothing but pictures. That said when I was into urban exploration I used to make my way with little reflective stickers that I posted to mark my way and removed them as I left.
I was surprised at the widespread use of English on the vessel’s signage, and placards. International crew probably. I also noted the good condition and orderliness of the ship’s interior spaces. From personal experience, this is generally the exception rather than the rule (unless the crew had prior knowledge of our boarding/inspection. Thanks again, new sub😎
Maritime English Also known as Standard Maritime Communication Phrases (SMCP), this is the lingua franca at sea and is important for the safety of the crew, the efficiency of daily tasks, and the integrity of the ship.
Just depends on the inspection and if any bribes are paid that the vessel may continue to sail. this owner obviously couldn't afford to keep a vessel of this magnitude running at maybe a few million a year on running costs alone and Covid didn't help the oil industry as we couldn't drive and even 10 crew is about 250k a year. The vessel must being still being docked and not at anchor is costing the port much loss in revenue.
@@andyjasso3050 Just like all the russian oligarchs suddenly "can't afford their megayachts" Nothing to do with "ability to afford": this is a russian ship - sanctions ban it from sailing off, can't sell it to anyone because they will be supporting russia with the money and will fall under sanctions that instant. The ship is "grounded for political reasons".
Far better that the crew lose their jobs in Port than they lose their lives far from Port aboard an unseaworthy vessel that may capsize and sink beneath their feet...
That pool may have been an area where workers could be cleaned off if they became contaminated or sprayed with oil. The runoff needs to be contained since they couldnt release it to the ocean or harbor.
So many signs in English obviously multi crew component . Not a sailor nor an engineer but maybe just maybe with a decent maintenance team and over haul one could bring this 1 back 2 life, guess the cost 2 do so was prohibitive hence why its just sitting there with the waves and current gently most of the time stroking and talking in natures way its outer hull.
Was this ship abandoned after the beginning of Putins war due to the sanctions on russian vessels, maybe stranded in some port it wasn't allowed to leave?

What do those gasses come from, the oil itself?
The ship in itself was actually pretty well ventilated, however confined spaces indeed present a lethal risk without preparation.
@@nvr2curious please use oxygen detector in such places
@@HappyQuailsLC Where rust forms and there's no proper ventilation there's no oxygen, the forming of rust consumes it.
@@christosswc No. Gases from the oil displace oxygen. Iron doesn't consume much oxygen in the process of rusting.
Taking multiple sources of light would be a must on this type of exploration.
I believe he has his cellphone torch light as a last resort.
One of the most interesting ship-explorations I saw. I'm subbed now 😉

Can't they take it to the DMB and get its title transferred?

Wasn't TOS a Czechoslovak maker of lathes?
@@pribor_3333 you are correct, i just noticed the suppliers nameplate on the lathe. A company in Malmö Sweden imported and delivered the lathe to the ship yard but the lathe is manufactured as you mentioned in Czechoslovak.
It was build in Kockmus (Sweden indeed) in 1987. Last owner was Murmansk Shipping Company.
TOS is Czech lathe… i own one myself.. really good old lathe ! They seem to be common in Sweden though.. since I’m Swedish too.
Bro is using a Skyrim Dungeon Soundtrack and i love it haha
Yeah! I think it fits
@nvr2curious definitely
The skf bearings show they buy german quality 😂
Wonder why they left those behind? Can easy be sold on the marked
SKF is Swedish bearings originaly, now made in many country.
When you leave your flip-flops behind, you left in a hurry.
That is why it is unfit 4 service. It has Samsung washers and dryers. Total crap.
LOL! Yes, they are crap.

Yes, I wonder what safety regulations it failed that caused it to be stopped by the port. Thanks for the support!
@@nvr2curious Sanctioned Owner maybe?
Captain cabin smelt like fish so he quit and left the ship abandons. Pirates then threaten the crew who ran away.
I notice that you used music from Skyrim! Very fitting. (edit: It's called Silent Footsteps)
That's very cool that people notice it! I liked it for the eerie ambience

Interesting, how Russian are you? I am curious
Very nice ship btw, you were very lucky nobody with the flashlight was watching
Not Russian, Polish 😊
@@nvr2curious thanks :D
Very strange, all that equipment could be removed and sold.
I’m amazed no body saw the flashlight when moving around
Was a bit risky, tried to not point it at the windows too much
@@nvr2curious you should try getting an IR flashlight camcorder or something so it's not so easily visible outside
This is awesome. hope you do more explores
Thanks! That's the plan 🥷
Why are all controls in English on a red ship?
Not everyone understood Russian probably - in a part it had international crew
What if one of the many doors you opened and entered, shut behind you with no door handle to open from inside.
Rule #1 when exploring is always make sure doors can be opened from both sides. Rule #2 Take nothing but pictures. That said when I was into urban exploration I used to make my way with little reflective stickers that I posted to mark my way and removed them as I left.
It's needed to check doors. One moment like this I left out of the video to not make it too long.

I'm currently playing Man of Medan.... This was not a good video for me 😉😂
Looks pretty clean for something that is banned from sailing. Probably much worse ships sailing all around the world...
Just depends on the inspection and if any bribes are paid that the vessel may continue to sail.

I sure hope you have two flashlights.
Yes, I had two emergency light sources, however these were not good for the video purpose

Far better that the crew lose their jobs in Port than they lose their lives far from Port aboard an unseaworthy vessel that may capsize and sink beneath their feet...
I agree! It was not stopped in the port without some reason
This is like Alfred Hitchcock.."Pyscho" You should suddenly shout and jump .....scare us
That pool may have been an area where workers could be cleaned off if they became contaminated or sprayed with oil. The runoff needs to be contained since they couldnt release it to the ocean or harbor.
Interesting information!
No it was CLEARLY recreational since it has a steam room and dumbbells laying around
Such a clean off would not have an entire sunken pool… it would just be like a shower .. but the drains would be connected to a separate tank.
piekna akcja, dobrze było to zwiedzic szefie
Super sprawa
We want see the video where you find the load of cash!
a russian ship with english on the controls and gages
What is the ship's name?What port is the ship in?
The ship is the SS poo shipski 9000
The ship is called the SS poo shipski 9000.
By the interior the ship seems far from unsafe. It appears maybe a financial matter came about the reasons personal things are all about.

Yes, definitely it was too expensive for the ship owner to maintain it. Interesting
Mission to making the shits
Was this ship abandoned after the beginning of Putins war due to the sanctions on russian vessels, maybe stranded in some port it wasn't allowed to leave?
It failed safety regulations, that's why it couldn't leave the port.
Was habt ihr da zu suchen?
LOL it's almost the same as Putins' useless Military, it's Soldiers, Navy and Air forces lo hahahaha
*YES RUSKI PISS*
But Russia is winning. So you need to let go of emotions controlling your perception of reality. Read alternative news sites.
