#tbt of a fleet giant!⚓ This year, we took another big step towards a more sustainable future with the arrival of yet another tugboat: the WS Dorado. With over 90 tons of bollard pull and advanced hydrodynamics, this vessel, along with the other four tugboats recently launched, is revolutionizing towage in Brazil. These new vessels represent the state-of-the-art in the Brazilian market in terms of power, efficiency, and, above all, sustainability. With 14% more efficiency compared to other classes of tugboats with the same bollard pull, these vessels emit fewer emissions, while offering superior performance. This is our formula for a cleaner environment with safer and more powerful operations.♻️ Want to be part of this new era of maritime innovation?

The Art of Smooth Ship Beaching: A Testament to Maritime Expertise Summary: Beaching a ship is a complex maneuver that requires precision, skill, and teamwork. When done correctly, it's a testament to the expertise of mariners and shore-based teams. In this post, we'll delve into the details of smooth ship beaching, highlighting the importance of planning, navigation, speed control, alignment, and continuous monitoring. Text: As professionals in the maritime industry, we understand the importance of safe and efficient ship operations. One critical aspect of this is smooth ship beaching, which involves deliberately grounding a ship on a beach or shallow area for various purposes, such as maintenance, repair, or scientific research. Achieving a smooth ship beaching requires meticulous planning, precise execution, and close coordination among the crew, pilots, and shore-based teams. It's a complex maneuver that demands attention to detail, expertise, and effective communication. By sharing our knowledge and experiences, we can promote best practices and enhance the safety and efficiency of ship operations. Let's continue to advance our skills and expertise in the maritime industry! #maritime #shipbeaching #smoothoperations #maritimesafety #efficiency #teamwork #expertise #bestpractices #shipoperations #navalarchitecture #marineengineering #offshoretechnology Feel free to share your experiences or insights related to smooth ship beaching in the comments!

Remember, safety isn't just a checklist; it's a mindset and a commitment to the well-being of everyone on board. #safety #safetyfirst #seasafety

Is Starboard to Starboard allowed? While COLREGs prioritize 'port to port' passing in a head-on situation for its clarity and consistency, it's important to note that it doesn't outright prohibit 'starboard to starboard' passing. Under certain circumstances, 'starboard to starboard' passing might seem preferable for safety purposes. However, this practice deviates from the standard 'port to port' approach recommended by COLREGs due to its potential for confusion and increased likelihood of misinterpretation or error. Especially in high-traffic areas, adhering to uniform navigation procedures is crucial for accident prevention.

While the disaster itself is well-known, a lesser-known detail holds a crucial lesson in maritime safety: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽'𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲. Here's a breakdown of the lifeboat situation on the Titanic: • 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀: 20 (14 regular, 2 cutters, 4 collapsible) • 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: 1,178 people However, when disaster struck, there were many more people on board: • 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘄: Around 2,200 (estimates vary) This meant that even if all the lifeboats were filled to maximum capacity, they could only hold slightly over half the number of people on board. This shortfall in lifeboat capacity was a major contributing factor to the high death toll in the disaster. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 The Titanic serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of having the right size and number of lifeboats for a vessel. Lifeboat capacity is not a suggestion; it's a strict regulation that ensures enough space for everyone on board in case of an emergency.

Vacation update: Came across this awe-inspiring maneuver called ‘anchor kedging’ – a testament to extraordinary #skill, especially in challenging conditions. Anchor kedging is employed to control lateral movement using the anchor during unfavorable wind conditions. In this clip, watch MS Nordnorge, a passenger vessel by Hurtigruten in #Norway, demonstrating this technique. The ship’s engines, rudder, and the strategic use of anchors create a mesmerizing ballet on the water. At about 120m LOA, 20m beam, and 11,000 GT, MS Nordnorge is a true marvel. As an ex-navigation officer, witnessing this level of berthing skill is always a privilege. What are your thoughts on these maritime maneuvers? ⚓️🚢 #MaritimeSkill #ShipManeuvers #VacationWonders

Extraordinary technique used by the captain of this vessel.
