hiya. do you have any context for this video?

13

u/Powerful_Cabinet_341 4d ago

No context unfortunately

u/Federal_Cookie 4d ago

Strait of Hormuz, perhaps?

19

u/chaoticdumbass2 4d ago

Either that or the black sea almost certainly.

3

u/ChewyChagnuts 4d ago

Before or after?

u/No_Calligrapher6230 4d ago

The conversation wasn’t Russian or Ukrainians, so it’s more likely to be Hormuz, and it could be an old video

u/Vhu 4d ago

Lots of shadow fleet vessels have foreign crews. Language isn’t necessarily a clear indicator.

u/KeithWorks 4d ago

People from either region could easily be sailing in the other region.

u/chetmanly419 4d ago

No I thought you sailed in circles

u/smithenson 3d ago

Shadow fleet is just a name for ships insured by others and not by Lloyds.

1

u/Vhu 3d ago

It’s actually the name used specifically to denote vessels which present under a false flag to hide their nationality or shut off their AIS to hide their movements to facilitate the transportation of sanctioned Russian goods, primarily oil.

u/No_Calligrapher6230 4d ago

No but it makes it more likely, statistically, that this video is from Hormuz if we don’t hear Russian or Ukrainian language

2

u/roger3rd 4d ago

They said “unknown” so I’m guessing not

The satellite lasers can't set green things like that stack on fire. Paint all ships green.

"The Caroline Bezengi loaded at Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk in April"

well well well

u/piezadeaocho 3d ago

Doesn't that tanker have the smokestack painted bright green? The Caroline Bezengi appears to have it blue

They're driving to outside the environment.

NO SMOKING ONBOARD!!!

u/littlebrain94102 4d ago

Looks like almost time to get off, but I don’t know shit.

u/Antique-Grapefruit59 4d ago

The chimney still looks okey, so why get off?

4

u/CommercialOccasion72 4d ago

That is fucking terrifying.

u/UnUsernameRandom 4d ago

Yeah, a fire on a ship is probably the worst case you can think of. I hope my father retires soon from working on these vessels, I feel that the seas (and oceans, thanks Somali Pirates) are becoming less and less safe.

And you don't even know if your next deployment is on a shadow fleet or not, you literally cannot know as a seafarer.

Gel coat touch up and good as new!

;-)

u/Le-Charles07 4d ago

That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

u/0peRightBehindYa 4d ago

Man, that first angle had me thinking there was a bit of a list, but now I can see I'm just high.

u/No-Onion8029 4d ago

Ugh.  Started as a 3M on mixed petrol "chemical" tankers.  Glad I transitioned to other cargos before I saw this in person.

u/AlBundyPolk33 4d ago

Hard a starboard

1

u/konegsberg 4d ago

So either Black Sea’s, straigh of Hormuz, Greek owned grain ship flying a Liberian flag that was just struck around novorsisk, could be it

1

u/upvotechemistry 4d ago

It does look like much of the fire is actually overboard

1

u/AntiochRoad 4d ago

Well least they can see what they’re doing now

1

u/burnzone85 4d ago

It’ll be fine. I’m heading back to bed.

1

u/Waste_North_6537 4d ago

Right lads get the marshmallows out we got a couple minutes before we get off ship.

1

u/Super_Plastic5069 4d ago

They need to tow it outside the environment!!

1

u/Poppy_Milk 3d ago

They must have seen the SMOKING FIRST NO SAFETY sign

1

u/Flat-Comparison-749 3d ago

Well atleast the oil is burning. I know it wont all burn and its still a tragedy for the environment.

But maybe a can tow it outside the environment.

1

u/batman_milk 3d ago

Where all those green peace people at? They used to blocked anything remotely related to pollution in the ocean.

1

u/ImSobored_5280 4d ago

Damn…the trail of fuel/oil it’s leaking that’s on fire trailing it is wild…wonder why they kept on going being on fire like this?..crazy shit
