Failed overtaking of another ship in a canal - Port Revel Shiphandling


published on 10 May 2020 -  1748 -

Found on YouTube. Created by "Port Revel". From 2014...

Training is conducted both on meeting and on overtaking ships in shallow waters. This video shows how overtaking in a canal can easily fail.

published on 6 October 2026

Thousands of miles across the open ocean can seem like the easy part of a ship's journey. The real challenge begins when a massive vessel reaches the final few dozen miles, where open water gives way to narrow channels, strict traffic controls, powerful tugboats, and enormous locks.
