🚁Helicopter Rescue of 135 Crew Members from Stranded Barge TOG MOR in Mexico On September 8, 2024, a dramatic helicopter rescue took place in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico, as 135 crew members were airlifted to safety from the barge Tog Mor. The vessel had run aground near Villa Allende due to intense winds and high waves caused by the interaction of a cold front and tropical storm in the southern Veracruz region. The Tog Mor, a flat-bottomed barge, was in the process of laying pipeline for the Puerta al Sureste gas pipeline, which will transport gas from Texas, USA, through Veracruz to Tabasco, Mexico. As the storm intensified, the vessel became stranded just 1,200 meters from shore while attempting to reach the Coatzacoalcos port for safety. Despite attempts to tow the barge with tugboats, the harsh conditions prevented success. Finally, helicopters from Transportes Aéreos Pegaso, hired by TC Energy, successfully evacuated the crew. Seven workers remained on board to ensure the vessel’s security and oversee future operations to refloat it #MaritimeIndustry #Shipping #MarineTechnology #MaritimeInnovation #OceanTransportation #PortsAndTerminals #MarineEngineering #MaritimeLogistics #MaritimeTrade #NavalArchitecture #Seafarers #MaritimeSafety #Oceanography #MaritimeLaw #MarineEnvironment #MaritimeEducation #MaritimeHistory #Shipbuilding #MaritimeEconomics #MaritimeSecurity #CruiseShipDepartures #ThrusterControl #MaritimeMastery #JourneyOfDiscovery #PassionForTheSea

📍#LNGShipping 🌎 🛑 This is how a #Marine #pilot leaves a ship in rough sea 🌊 ❗ ✅ A maritime pilot, marine pilot, harbor pilot, or simply pilot, is a mariner who maneuvers ships 🎯 through dangerous or congested waters 🌎, such as harbors or river mouths. ✅ Maritime pilots are regarded as 👉 skilled professionals in navigation as they are required to know immense details 🖋 of waterways such as depth, currents, and hazards, as well as displaying expertise in handling ships 🛳 of all types and size. 📽 : Sikh At Sea #lng #lngindustry #lngshipping #lngbunkering #gtt #mossdesign #naturalgas #shipping

We have a lot of dry dock this year. MT Dionne is at PaxOcean shipyard 🇸🇬 for a special survey. Intermediate survey and special survey are both types of surveys conducted on ocean-going tankers to ensure their safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. The key differences between these two surveys lie in their purpose. Intermediate surveys are conducted for general inspections and maintenance, while special surveys are more comprehensive examinations conducted to ensure the vessel’s compliance with international regulations and to identify any potential issues or deficiencies.

Navigation buoys play a crucial role in ensuring maritime safety by marking safe routes, hazards and guiding vessels through complex or dangerous waters. These buoys are essential for: 🔵 Marking safe channels and navigable waters (including traffic separation). 🔵 Identifying hazards and obstacles, including shallow water and shoals. 🔵 Assisting with positioning and navigation, particularly at nighttime or during poor visibility. 🔵 Enforcing regulations, such as speed limits and restricted areas. 🔵 Providing emergency and rescue guidance. 🔵 Assisting in awareness of tidal markers and current navigation. 🔵 Supporting maritime infrastructure, for example at harbour and port entries. The IALA has established a universal buoyage system, allowing ships to navigate with consistent buoy markings worldwide. This standardisation improves maritime safety across international waters. #AidsToNavigation #Marine #Maritime #IALA #NavigationBuoys

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

A lifeboat is a small, sturdy boat designed for use in emergency situations, particularly during maritime incidents like shipwrecks or accidents at sea. Lifeboats are typically equipped with safety features such as oars or a motor for propulsion, life jackets, emergency supplies, and communication devices. They are essential for evacuating passengers and crew from a sinking or distressed vessel to safety. Lifeboats come in various designs, including rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), open lifeboats, and enclosed lifeboats, each suited for different conditions and situations at sea. #MaritimeIndustry #Shipping #MarineTechnology #MaritimeInnovation #OceanTransportation #PortsAndTerminals #MarineEngineering #MaritimeLogistics #MaritimeTrade #NavalArchitecture #Seafarers #MaritimeSafety #Oceanography #MaritimeLaw #MarineEnvironment #MaritimeEducation #MaritimeHistory #Shipbuilding #MaritimeEconomics #MaritimeSecurity #CruiseShipDepartures #ThrusterControl #MaritimeMastery #JourneyOfDiscovery #PassionForTheSea
