The passenger cruise ship Grand Voyager was caught in a severe storm in the Mediterranean Sea. There were 791 people on board, including crew members. The liner, sailing from Tunisia to Barcelona, was damaged due to a strong 11-force storm near the island of Minorca (Balearic Islands). The crew members radioed that the giant waves had damaged the equipment on the ship, but the crew still managed to partially fix the problem and continued on their way. The emergency vessel was accompanied by the gas carrier Jimmy, which was the first to hear its call for help and assisted it. There were many injured and wounded people on board.

🚢⚠️ The Viking Sky Incident ⚠️🚁 On March 23, 2019, Viking Sky lost engine power in stormy Norwegian waters, putting over 1,300 passengers at risk. A dramatic helicopter rescue saved hundreds as the crew fought to restart the engines and prevent disaster. No lives were lost, but critical questions remain: -How should ships better prepare for extreme conditions? -Could this have been prevented with stricter safety protocols? #VikingSky #MaritimeSafety #Norway #RescueOperation #CruiseShip #MaritimeIndustry #Shipping #MarineTechnology #MaritimeInnovation #OceanTransportation #PortsAndTerminals #MarineEngineering #MaritimeLogistics #MaritimeTrade #NavalArchitecture #Seafarers #MaritimeSafety #Oceanography #MaritimeLaw #MarineEnvironment #MaritimeEducation #MaritimeHistory #Shipbuilding #PassionForTheSea

A Dutch cargo ship running adrift was in danger of capsizing after it encountered rough weather conditions off the coast of Norway. Crew members onboard the Eemslift Hendrika had raised an alert in the North Sea on Monday prompting the Norwegian Coast Guard to launch an operation to evacuate the 12-person staff off the vessel. Footage posted by the Coast Guard showed rescuers airlifting the crew from the ship as it was battered by waves of up to 15 metres in height. Some crew members were seen being airlifted from the sea while others were rescued from the ship’s deck. All of the 12 were brought to safety. Norwegian officials told state broadcaster NRK that the 111 metre (366 feet) Netherlands-registered ship, which was transporting smaller yachts, had lost power in its main engine and was now drifting towards land.” The ship continued to drift until the weather subsided; later tugboats arrived and towed it to the nearest port. 2 years ago. 📸: Norway Coast Guard #MaritimeIndustry #Shipping #MarineTechnology #MaritimeInnovation #OceanTransportation #PortsAndTerminals #MarineEngineering #MaritimeLogistics #MaritimeTrade #NavalArchitecture #Seafarers #MaritimeSafety #Oceanography #MaritimeLaw #MarineEnvironment #MaritimeEducation #MaritimeHistory #Shipbuilding #MaritimeEconomics #MaritimeSecurity #CruiseShipDepartures #ThrusterControl #MaritimeMastery

Ever wonder how far the work at a single airport reaches? At first glance you may only see a few hundred feet through a fence from groundside or from a seat in the terminal. Some may think the work done here is only in that large hangar along the side of the road as they drive past. Others will know it's further than that as they see down the 10,000ft runway when taking off or landing at YYB. The true distances are far greater than than that however; almost immeasurable really. Here's a great example of the true reach of the work done by many at an airport and its impact; the British Antarctic Survey Dash 7, having visited the City of North Bay and Voyageur Aviation Corp. many times over the years, landing and taking off at Rothera, Antarctica. Runway to runway the work from right here in North Bay reached 12,765km on this day, and many others like it. It's often said a mile of runway gets you further than a mile of road, so it's not surprising that the nearly 2 miles of runway in North Bay allow you to reach anywhere in the world. #NorthBay #ReachOfARunway #AirportOperations #YYBNorthBay #RunwayAdvantage #OntarioAirport #AircraftMaintenace
