Another intense video

That's amazing! I take it nobody is allowed on deck in those seas...
 
I don't read Spanish but as near as I can tell from the video label it might be a vessel named Marejada. Further research shows Marejada as a 114T Argentinian trawler.

Anybody have a suscription to the World Shipping Registry? I found details on this vessel but unfortunately don't have a subsciption.

European Intervention tugboat out of Brest France. No mention of Marejada but Abeille Flandre is a dead match. Abeille Flandre still in service along side newer versions of rescue tugs.

Too cool.
 
Just another day in the life of an Ocean tug crew. The whole boat rattles, shakes, vibrates and pounds. Jam your life jacket under your bunk mattress to wedge you in, and sleep like a baby till the next watch. Big breakfast of runny eggs, bacon, grits, toast with extra butter and watch the new guys turn green.
 
I think I missed my calling. Now I understand why my buddies don't like boating with me.

Those of you that would crap in your pants on that ride say "aye".

I'll start...
 
It is the Abeille Flandre. Here is the second part of the vid; this was shot during a rescue mission, which is why the chopper accompianment.

Comment from a buddy:

Yes, but it is in French. {;*)) These 206 foot, 12,800hp tugs are in fact
Norwegian designed (Rolls Royce Marine) and Norwegian built for a French
company. There is also an expensive book of photos, but they are in French
as well.

I would not show that video to my wife. If I did, the boat would be up for sale!!
