- Stellar Banner, an iron ore carrier was scuttled off the coast of Sao Luis, Brazil after she ran aground taking a shortcut on her voyage to the far east. The hull was found unseaworthy, and not possible to tow the hull away for repair.

Love how the radar unit was left on,spinning till the end.
They kept as much as they could running to burn as much fuel as possible
this might sound weird but it was oddly emotional watching it go down. I felt like watching a loved one leave even though I have never heard of this ship before
It was really sad seeing her disappear into the ocean
The sounds it makes while going down i allways asked myself from watching "das Boot" if you really heard these metal creaking sounds under water. But you can even hear it above water so it must be really loud on a hydrophone. Also the way it just speeds down into the ocean at around 1:25 is crazy imagine you are still on the ship and you think "yeah at this rate we got another 2 minutes before it sinks" but then suddenly it speeds up and almost looks like the ship just entered a hyperspace portal and disappears in seconds.
Working on ships myself, it's really scary to see how fast it goes down.
According to the company '“Prior to scuttling, floating objects, such as mooring line and pollutants, also a minimal quantity of gas oil which had remained onboard have been removed. Part of the iron ore, navigation equipment and basic machinery remained on the vessel, which are deemed to pose no risk to marine life,”
Correct
crazy to think something that huge is down in the dark abyss now. Unsettling
No wonder the sea level is going up!😂
A small contributing factor 😂
Don’t you understand that the entire ship is filled with water after it’s sunk?
Expensive loss. It’s a shame she couldn’t have been scrapped 😢 Insurance will help recover the loss.
It's a shame indeed!
Honestly think she is better at the bottom of the ocean than in a scrapyard.
With that cargo you could have just melted down the entire thing.
Has anyone ever recorded a ship sinking from an underwater view? Maybe 100 feet down?
That's a really good question, haven't seen footage of it myself
1:30 aww lmao
The ship was sank on purpose folks,,,,,,,,but what is bad is the ship was towed out in the ocean and sunk easiest way to get ride of it,,,,,,,just throw in the ocean,,,,,,,
Yeah it’s called scuttling a ship
Don't feel bad, nature will reclaim it. Think of all those fishes with a new home
It’s called creating an artificial reef. It’s a good thing.
Its a massive benefit to nature.
Those darn South American icebergs did this.
😂 It went a ground on a sand bank, deployed the anchor and the anchor made a long tear in the hull
Um, if it ran aground, how then is it sinking bow-first? Plus the radar is rotating. Hmmm. Took less time for her to sink than the Derbyshire.
A lot of the cargo was unloaded while she was a ground, then re-floated. The salvage company and other parties decided to scuttle her after towing her to deep waters.
Amazing power unleashed by water to shear that smoke stack right off... Imagine if you waited until the end on the stern to jump off - you might not make it with all that debris and churning water.
Wouldn't be anywhere near that in the water 😂
Did they at least try to remove most things and fuel/ oil first?
Seems like it should be illegal to do that.
They did pump out as much fuel/oil as possible before sinking it
Radar still turning, lights on, generators still running. Didn't pump the fuel off?
They pumped out as much as they managed. They let everything run to burn as much fuel as possible
I assume they never salvaged any electrical components since i can see the radar spinning?
They didn't salvage much, they kept as much as they could running to burn as much possible of the fuel they could not pump out
В момент затопления дг были в работе!
They were indeed
How would it run aground and then sink ?
It was towed to deep water and scuttled, the salvage company didn't see any other outcome
Insurance claim and salvage rights everyone wins except environmentalists
For sure
Well that was quicker than I thought.
She went down really quickly
twss
Pollution!
It's not ideal for sure, they didn't have many options due to the substantial damage to the hull
It can be an artificial reef; did they consider that? The ship can serve one last purpose as an artificial reef.
It certainly could be, not sure if it was considered
By every measure it now is an artificial reef
@@michaelmacleod7051 indeed
What a terrible waste of the ship and its cargo.
So true
How could it sink if it ran aground ?
The ship was floated, but was too heavily damaged to justify the economics of rebuild her. She was towed to deep waters and scuttled
На какой глубине затопили?
It was over 1000m depth
The smokestack detached from the vessel. It floats back up at 1:38.
It eventually went down as well, the void inside the smoke stack was filled with air giving it enough buoyancy for a while
Does anyone know how deep it sank?
They said it was over 1000m depth
so if the ship broke in two, this could give a good example of how he Titanic might have sunk.
For sure
Yep, more marine pollution... its never ending.
It sadly is
Yep, but this ship look like it was deliberately sunk, because you can see the exploding air bubbles along her forward deck. It is obvious that this ship was towed to deep water, after they have probably offloaded a huge amount of her cargo. This ship could not sunk if it was still stuck on the reef, and to offload the cargo while it was still stuck would have been difficult, but not impossible. The Netherlands have the best Marine heavy ship salvaging companies in the world, and they boast that they can mobilize all their resources within 72 hours, if their services are needed. Ps, I will bet that they managed to offload enough of this ship cargo to free her, and given the serious hull damage she was towed far away to deep water, before they scuttled the ship.
Dude... the video doesnt try to hide the fact it was sunk on purpose, it's called scuttling a ship, the video explains they are scuttling it.
It was scuttled on purpose, the salvage company didn't see any other option
You are going to have to run the 350,000 tons of iron ore past us again. Not hardly possible.
1000' long ore carriers on the great lakes in the US don't carry even 100,000 tons
The VLOC's could take up to 400,000 tons of cargo
Even the largest Laker (Say Paul R treghurta does not have the beam of more than 105', or 32m, and design draft of 9m or 30' . This sad lassie had a beam of 180ft (55m) and draft of 70' or 21m. MS Ore Brasil (ex Vale Brasil) is even larger at 1187' * 213' * 76') and summer DWT of 402,347
These VLOC's are some different beasts for sure
