Ever Wondered Why Big Ships Never Sink In Storms With Monster Waves #shorts

Ever wondered why big ships never sink in storms with monster waves #shorts

First 🥇 " can i get pin ??" Btw thanks for the knowledge 😄

I am ALWAYS impressed by big ship footage in high seas

[Whatreally]

I cant even imagine how terrifying it must feel to be in those kind of waves at night.

“Why big ships never sink”
…
“Sometimes they do sink.”

I went to work on a Ro-Ro ship as part of my three months internship as a deck cadet (I was planning to become a navigational officer afterwards). It was not the rough weather that scared me. I realized that my life and my closed ones are way too important for me to be stuck at sea for a good 4-6 months at a time, every single time.

It is not worth the sacrifice.

Seafarer here. As much as possible, we do not sail on really stormy seas. We alter course on a much calmer areas.
Cruise ships have stabilizer technologies for passengers ergonomic purposes. I mean they didn't book for bouyant roller coasters, right?
Merchant ships (cargoes) are engineered to stay upright even on large righting periods (ability to recover to an upright position during waving motions) but to venture on storms like that are risks and can create cracks on the hulls even with high tensile steel. They can survive the storm but maintenance will be horrific for the ship owners and shorten the lifespan of ship's seaworthy years.
The ship's exploration era is over. It's just business and leisure nowadays. Time is money, no more Glory and Sea Shanties 😂

I had just watched a documentary on Ernest Shackleton where he sails from Antarctica to South Georgia Island which takes like 3 weeks in a tiny sail boat over the Atlantic. This was to get help for his marooned sailors who were still stranded in the Antarctic. Imagine 3 weeks of never being warm or dry trying to cross the Atlantic in a barely seaworthy boat.

Why big ships never sink except when they do...😂

[jaelinmia]

I'm impressed everyday with human engineering WOW!!!🔥🔥🔥

I went on a cruise and met the captain . I asked : do ships like this sink very often ? He replied : usually just the once sir .

[tironansunfrendlyskies]

This is primarily true. However, on average, two merchant ships sink every week. I remember that one year, the entire industry celebrated the fact that only 78 ships had been lost that year. We all take many things for granted: the power we use, the food we eat, and the consumer goods we enjoy. Ninety percent of it comes by cargo vessels. Always remember the price in lives.

Watching those huge waves violently while you're sailing on that ship is like another world

[Al-Rudigor]

As a submarine sailor, I don't see the problem.

[jefffisher-ufbc]

I like how it shows the capsizing correction system for small rescue boats. Imagine being in a huge container ship that capsized, then suddenly flipped violently back up to its normal position 😂

[okumakamizu]

Nope. It's from the counterweights of huge balls of sailors sailing those seas. They move around the ship strategically to counterbalance and stabilize.

Big ships do sink in such storms, all too frequently. The list is long, but it starts with two names that will bring a tear to almost any mariner’s eye: SS Edmund Fitzgerald and SS El Faro. Neither had a chance.

Oh, and apologies to our UK cousins… the MV Derbyshire should also be on this short list.

Have you watched Disasters at Sea - S3E1? A massive container ship split in half and sank, but fortunately, several of the crew survived. The NTSB found a flaw in ships' construction and materials that probably caused the sinking of close to 100 massive container ships that disappeared while traversing the Atlantic Ocean. It is a fascinating episode that disproves the theory that large ships don't sink.

That one guy standing at the edge of the ship in such wave must be a daredevil

[chrisholmgren]

Bilge keels are not new, and they only dampen a roll slightly. Only ships that put an emphasis on not rolling have expensive fin stabilizers. If you put all the ships at sea now in that extreme weather in the video, then you would lose more ships and a crap load of sailors. It’s the Master’s job to avoid weather that would imperil his ship. Sometimes we take calculated risks when getting to a safe harbor is better than getting the shit kicked out of for days. Severe weather kills your speed of escape, so know where the storm is, where it’s going and how to stay on the navigable side.
