It's great to watch a video not about the Titanic but you just couldn't help yourself from sticking the word Titanic in this video anyways, 🤔😮💨. Your making me hate that word, which isn't easy when the first 3 letters make such a great word! 😅
i like how “your friend mike brady” has kind of become a meme. but also as much time as I spent watching your channel you to feel like a member of my family, or like a best friend room mate.
I genuinely refer to him as "My Friend Mike Brady, from Oceanliner Designs" when talking to my friends or family about something that came up in his videos 😅

I was on a 7 day cruise with 5k of my closest friends just last week. Beautiful boat. Italian company. Global fellow passengers. It was a blast (as it were). It was our very first cruise. But I wondered about this very question! Leave it to our friend, Mike Brady, to explain it, right on time. And I'm so pleased to know that the industry takes it seriously. Thanks, Mike! 😊
A few years ago I had the pleasure of having a private behind the scenes tour of the Celebrity Silhouette with the ship's chief environmental officer (he actually had green stripped epaulettes with recycling triangles on them). It was super interesting learning and actually seeing that everything that can be recycled is collected (glass, paper, metal...), washed, crushed and compressed into containers and sold in the ports where it's worth most. The result being that at the end of a week long cruise they usually have around 1 truck load of trash. Food waste is blendered, boiled to sterilize and released at sea as "fish food" where it's allowed. As you mention Gray and Black waters go thru sewage treatment plants similar to (or better than) land based ones and are discharged at seas where it's legal to do so.
@@XTad1 It get turned into ash in an incinerator and stored on the ship. At specific ports, it will be unloaded and taken away by a waste collection company (as one of the sorted waste categories, in a similar manner as sorted recyclables).
Regulations such as these is honestly why I find Maritime law fascinating. At my law school it was only briefly touched on in different classes but independent research for graduation was based on it. Keep up the good work Mike and I hope you had a fun time in the US.

Stories like this make me so glad that I get far too sea sick to ever get onto a cruise ship again(one 7 day cruise where I was so sick that most of the time I was bedridden). I do love these stories about ships, though!
i dont know if you still read your comments, but I think I can say for many of us, wed love a serious and very well in-depth dive into the story of the duel between SMS Cap Trafalgar, and the RMS Carmania, a day in which National pride of ocean liners was taken to the next level, and two ships built for luxury would take their gloves off and spend the day having a legendary fight to the death as battleships
Excellent video!! I'm also going to Belfast tomorrow (visiting from America) and of course will be heading straight for the Titanic museum! Thanks to you, just simply because of your passion for Her and bringing so many amazing details to my attention. I can not wait, cheers!
I did some research into this, cruise ships are far more likely to be hit with these fines but cargo ships are far more likely to dump waste over board without serviving it by a huge percentage.
After that infamous poop cruise regulations get change that at least one of many sewage treatment plants onboard must be getting power from emergency generators, so at least some toilets are operable if ship experiences blackout.
I have a friend who works in building management and he once corrected me that any water that's been in contact with a human body is considered blackwater, since you don't necessarily know what someone is washing off their hands or doing in the shower, and graywater is mostly runoff from industrial processes like condensate off air conditioners which might be contaminated with lubricants and such. But he WAS working in a hospital, so maybe the definitions are a little different according to MARPOL.
When I was on one drilling rig in the North Sea, its sewage cooker was located really close to where my unit was on the lower deck. When you walked down the stairs, and walked past the cooker, it smelled just like a Kentucky Fried Chicken store.
Our last cruise featured a video about how the ship disposes of waste. Crew members stated that the water that came from the last treatment tank was absolutely safe to drink! Still, none of them were willing to drink a glass. Thanks for getting down and dirty, friend Mike.
The way sewage is treated on ship doesn't seem too much different from how it's treated in a modern, land-based waste water plant. Filtering to get rid of solids, biological action to deal with nitrogen-containing compounds (amongst other things), and then a final "polishing" stage (UV light, sometimes others) to make it safe. That was a fun video, thank you much for dumping it on us, Mike!
$50 million fine, as opposed to a $8 billion profit, is merely a rounding error in the accounting. Or the nett income from a month and a half of operation. The shareholders lost a whole 3 cents of dividend because of that for that quarter.
When my Parents emigrated to Ausi in 1964 on the maiden voyage of the Fairstar, us 4 young teenagers had a great time, the Italians even provided us with a 'jungle room' obviously knowing what would happen there, quite futuristic for those days. It was good though and even included a free jukebox etc, 'surfer joe' was worn out by the time we got to Freemantle, because all us Pommie kids just idolized the American surfing scene in those days. The thing that stuck in my mind the most apart from the fantastic bread and butter rolls they provided at every meal was the way the crew would just chuck big buckets of food waste etc over the stern every day, and never batted an eye, it was just the way it was in those days.
I served on board one of the last conventional US aircraft carriers for her twilight cruise. I'm pretty sure they just atomized the black water waste and dumped it overboard. We did fleet week in NYC one year and as we were moseying along (at maybe 5 knots) off the NJ coast waiting for our run into NY harbor, the ship dumped the sewage as we were heading south. They then turned around and ran north right through the slick. Yes, you could see it on the water. You could also smell it. I felt bad for the dolphins that were swimming with us.
For several months over 2006-2007 it was my job to unlock the valves and start the pumps to discharge the sewage on a cruise ship. This was done the moment the ship was far enough from shore as time was often limited. Never performed any tests on it.
Great video as always, Mike! Now, I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible… PLEASE give us another Funniest Moments In Ship History video! I feel like I’m DYING waiting for another one of those!
This channel is great dude. I appreciate, and my wife noticed and appreciated as well, how well dressed you are in all your videos. Extremely well researched and professionally presented videos every single time! Thank you!
I told my uncle that My Friend Mike Brady featured the poop cruise in one of his videos. My uncle was on that cruise and can make anything into a good time, but even he struggled on that cruise. He had an inside cabin, too, so when the power went out it was just...darkness. He's been on almost a dozen cruises since, at least 3 with Carnival (the full refund was spent on a cruise, they got a free cruise, and a discount code to use on yet another cruise for I think 40% off)...just never in an interior cabin again!
I spent the entire video imagining a Titanic steward or stewardess trying to mime how to use modern toilets to steerage passengers who don't speak their language.
Hey Mike, did you know the cruise ship Celebrity Millennium had a restaurant themed as the a la carte restaurant from the RMS Olympic and even had the original wood panelling, lights, and even furniture from the ship.
At last... the Number 1 and Number 2 video on the OD channel! You handled this foul subject without even getting your hands dirty, Mike. This video could have gone right into the toilet, but you kept it all above board, and you showed that everyone is the same... in at least a couple of aspects. Great job on the video Mike, but I've gotta go now... 😳
Please make a more in depth video on ice breakers if you can. I’m absolutely fascinated by them and I believe you only have one video on them. Thank you for your work!
I was taught decades ago to NEVER swim in places where cruise ships dock, as they don't always adhere to dumping their waste far into sea, and sometimes dump it closer to the nation they're visiting. And I haven't broken that learning once.
Wow, this was really informative. I always thought they would just open a valve, and everything pours out. But there is actual filtration systems is pretty cool.
It is good that shipping companies get prosecuted for being willfully negligent about issues like sewage disposal. Definitely not okay. Thank you for the video!
I'm struck by the contrast of recent oceanic pollution standards and the graphic, oily horrors of huge warships (and their mercantile targets) being sunk wantonly during wars, thinking primarily WWII. Even the black-and-white pictures of the Pearl Harbor cleanup suggest decades of damage from just a single attack. Seems to me it's going to take a lot of effort to even begin to catch up to the oceanic damage already done, but glad to see that it doesn't just roar on ignored and unabated.
According to that chart they are still able to toss some hard waste (crockery, glass, metal, etc.) directly into the ocean? Would think this has changed for large pax vessels
Hi Mike, Your friend Winton again. Thank you for answering this question. I've thought about it often and long, and now I can turn my thoughts to less neiusom matters, 👍
5:54 According to Mike's cartoon, the fecal "solids" are filtered from the "black water" at step 1. But Mike doesn't explain what happens to those solids after they're separated from the black water. I get that after the fecal matter is filtered out, black water is rigorously treated and then released into the ocean in accordance with maritime regulations. But what happens to the fecal solids after they're filtered from the black water?
I swear my bladder was already threatening me with "now, or else!" _Before_ I saw this video... (I _promise_ no mention by our friend Mike Brady, of "the poop deck" or "sewage treatments" - etc - had encouraged the feeling I had to...er...'go'!)
Meanwhile here in the UK private water companies have been dumping (sorry) sweage into our rivers at increasing rate due to lack of investment, choosing instead to pay dividends to shareholders and bonuses to underperforming bosses.
So they have a whole sewage treatment plant, right on board! Very cool. I wonder what's all required to keep that going. A supply of that bacteria to break everything down, I guess.
Boy, we are really close here on this channel, aren't we? Truly no subject is off limits when talking about ocean liners. It's a pleasure to have taken this sewage journey with you all😅

@@XTad1 it gets broken down in the process as far as I understand. It's not really that "solid" after all.
I may be wrong so feel free to correct me!

It's cool that he filmed this onboard the Queen Mary (the fan and unique wooden wall panel in the background gave it away).
i’m pretty sure Queen Mary is now some sort of a novelty hotel

Cruise ships are a major source of ocean pollution [especially plastic] as well as air pollution.

As someone who lives on a big harbour, I'm very glad that big passenger vessels have stopped Dave Matthews Band-ing the ocean.

Actually glad to know this. I remember the story if that miserable cruise ship when it was happening
I had assumed that they no longer just dumped it, but I had no clue what they actually did.
Gruesomely interesting.
Put these engineers that designed this system in touch with the French Olympic committee.
According to that chart they are still able to toss some hard waste (crockery, glass, metal, etc.) directly into the ocean? Would think this has changed for large pax vessels
Of course it ends up on the poop deck!
