Ship Accidents and Errors
Sometimes people mess up, make mistakes, and call problems. Usually the mistakes you make are pretty mundane; but if you’re a captain of a ship small mistakes can escalate very quickly. Here are the top 15 biggest ship collisions and mistakes.
Just because a ship is bigger DOES NOT mean it has right of way. There are RULES dictating traffic and passage rules. By saying that you're part of the problem. BIG DOES NOT MEAN RIGHT OF WAY.
Simple history?
14:00 "almost even worse because another ship was nearby"… following that logic everything is almost worse because there is another ship nearby.

Why does this guy sound like charley sheen?
As of me being a Merchant Seaman for almost 15 years. I like how everything is blamed on the Captain/Ship Master. What alot of people don't know is alot of these accidents are more pilot and AB at the wheel. When coming in to tie up theres a 2nd officer along with usually 2 os's and an AB or vice versa depending on the time of port. And a 3rd officer with same at the stern. It is not the Captain who is giving the orders/directions its the Pilot all the way up until you're actually going to tie off the spring line in shore out shore lines. That's when the Captain takes back over. Now they can not see whats happening at the stern or bow,the are fly blind as it were and totally reliant on the officers at bow and stern. The chief engineer plays a big roll in this as well because they are the ones receiving the directions from the bridge on what to do next. Contrary to popular belief not everything is done straight on the bridge like you see on TV or in movies. If miscommunication happens from bridge like say reverse…they mean it now not a second later. And when this happens alot bad shit happens. Alot of it isn't loss of power or whatever..its communication between bridge and engine room. Ships can opt out of having tugs assist in mooring but alot of foreign vessels will opt out my guess because they can't speak the language that's just my guess. But if you can use tugs then you should definitely do it and less problems like these would not happen. It should be mandatory for all vessels to have to use tugs. Most foreign flagged ships have shitty sailers including Captains that can't drive and park.
Boring… Need more destruction

And the speed boat was out of gas and called the Japanese fleet and called mayday

In the early days of automobiles there were only two cars in the entire state of Kansas. They ran into each other.

The nebulous forehead aesthetically label because mouth tinctorially trick from a rough fork. hypnotic, imminent fir
If there are strong winds the boats have to go faster that usual to be able to maneuver.
The author skillfully avoids showing the actual collisions.
Boring!
You should repeat your report again after adding ever given accident as no. 1 😂
