After crossing the Atlantic Ocean and entered in the Mediterranean sea it is time to call at Chioggia Italy in order to discharge our cargo.
In this episode you will see the interaction that I have with the Marine Pilot and how we navigate the ship in these waters.
Pilots are mandatory for our vessels and in every port that we call one or two come on board in order to provide us their guidance with their knowledge of the local water,winds, traffic, etc.
Enjoy!

Video Tug Girding

published on 30 November 2020

Between 2005 and 2018, the TSB received reports of 26 girding situations resulting in 21 capsizings. Girding occurs when a vessel is pulled broadside by a towline force and is unable to manoeuver out of this position.

The TSB would like to thank Ledcor Resources and Transportation Inc. for use of simulator training images in the girding video. We would also like to acknowledge the U.S....

Video Pilot Boat Capsize Test

published on 13 December 2019

posted on YouTube by "Marine Online"
Capsizing or keeling over occurs when a boat or ship is turned on its side or it is upside down in the water. The act of reversing a capsized vessel is called righting. If a capsized vessel has enough flotation to prevent sinking, it may recover on its own if it is not stable inverted. Vessels of this design are called self-righting.
