Stress and effect on a vessel in severe weather conditions

Vvb

THEIR. ffs.

2:06 till the end, can someone explain??

holy shit I had no idea the ships bent VISUALLY like that!

This has changed my perspective on life. Engineer are gods!

those are moderately bad seas at best.

That demands some serious welding skills to keep that togheter. Scary as f*ck to be on that vessel tho.

this appears to be like Lake Superior between Ontario Canada and Michigan and Minnesota in our neck of the woods.

Interesting video. The ship is designed to flex. Try to look at the wing of a B747 during take off, flying, turbulence and landing. You will see the tip moving a lot

Does the metal become more rigid over time with all the flexing?

Sorry!

F that right up neptunes stinky a. Not for me at all.

look cool,ha?
well its much more frighting when u on board

If the propeller comes out of the water in very rough seas, that is when the Engine Governor kicks in. Otherwise the repeated loading and unloading caused by the propeller dipping and emerging would severely damage the engine.

abandon ship! abandon ship!

Very interesting. thanks for showing this

Scary..

this rules

nop3!
