On a man-made lake near Newcastle, marine pilots test their skills in mini ships 🚢🛳️ | ABC Australia

[@Jesse-B]

Unreal! I am always amazed at what tugboats and ship pilots can do.

[@Bo-Bodengovic]

I think i've seen that in the netherlands too.

[@randbarrett8706]

I now know what I will do when I win the lottery

[@zapfanzapfan]

Some have a garden railway... others...

[@gyattrizz2024]

others simulate the global economy in their backyard pond

[@JW-hf9ev]

This is a great idea that should move into trucking

[@anasqai]

It's nice, if the front area looks covered to have a section if open to store fishes, I imagine Kallang river, boat quay and Clarke quay this way, if imagine river at Sembawang too(senoko) if can keep carrying fish to storage like nice. It's a single seat tugboat? It looks high level actually deep storage capability?

[@garryharrington8255]

Was this originally posted on April 1st or something? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@patmahoney3120]

I waited and waited . . No mention whether or not the simulator does any good. I doubt it.

[@GoGoGoRunRunRun]

They mentioned that other ports can be simulated and that engine failures and other problems can even be simulated. So, yeah, it probably does help.

[@mackydog99]

Yeah.......I was wondering if they did a re-creation of the Edmond Fitzgerald!

[@rpaulwaddington1858]

Please ABC, bring us more factual content. Great video thank you.

[@anything.with.motors]

Yooo wtf!
I want to drive one how do i get involved? Lmao

[@SailorGerry]

Any salt water crocs ever decide to set-up an abode at your training centre?
If yes, then those rather small models look at being nil for survivability...

[@anthonyj7989]

Any Australian can tell that you are not from Australia - why, all Australians knows that there aren't any crocs in NSW or anywhere near NSW.

[@GWNorth-db8vn]

@@anthonyj7989 - If someone mentions Canada, they always find a way to bring up maple syrup. One fact about any country is plenty for some.
