This is the Pilot Card. For me, at the moment, very important : windage area: 16,681m² (179,552.79 ft²). With force 7 on the beam, that's about 177 tonnes-force created by the wind.

This is why you might see a fireboat not spraying water on the fire itself but on the "boundaries" around the fire. This is called "boundary cooling" and prevents the fire from spreading to adjacent spaces.

Fighting a fire on board a ship demands a different mindset than fighting a fire on land. Extinguishing a fire is, of course, the prime goal, but on a ship, you will quickly switch to a mindset of "containment" and starvation (fuel source, oxygen) of the fire.

It's always a big puzzle. If a cargo in a container gets misdeclared, this could potentially be an issue.

This mix of cargoes means that a strict separation and segregation of cargoes needs to be maintained if those could interact with each other (cause chemical reaction, etc..). Some cargoes need to be stowed above deck, some cargoes need to be refrigerated.

Most of the time, those fires are caused by the cargo in the containers themselves, although the cause of this fire is not known yet. The cargo is not all the same. The cargo will be a mix of your Temu packages, machine parts, dangerous liquid cargo, etc...

The MV One Henry Hudson is a 336m long (loa - length over all) container ship built in 2008 under the flag of Panama. The fire is located in one of the forward bays.

27/x Feel free to ask questions.
26/x What about the anchor? An anchor is not able to stop a ship at that speed. It's not like that movie with the battleship. It might slow you down a bit and if you don't drop it they'll say you didn't do everything at your disposal to limit the accident

25/x What about the EDG? It took 70 seconds for it to start. Regulations say it should be 45sec, but even then, an EDG can not run a ME of a ship. (a damper limit switch didn't indicate it was open for the EDG to start)

24/x Why didn't breakers HR1, LR1 and transformer TR2 kick in automatically after tripping? Because they were set on manual. There is no regulation that requires them to be set on automatic. If they had been, critical systems might have become available earlier.

23/x Restarting this pump needs to be done locally and it takes some time to do so. The shipowner, although doing several inspections a year and remote monitoring of systems, says it was not aware a FLP was used as a service pump (they're throwing the engineers under the bus)

22/x An FLP is used for what the name says: to flush your fuel lines when switching over from one type of fuel to another (e.g. MGO to low sulphur fuel), not as a service pump to a DG. A FLP does not start automatically after a black-out (contrary to a service pump)

21/x So even if you have your SG pumps moving the rudder, no prop wash over the rudder means loss of steering. Now the issue of the Fuel Pump (FP) of DG3 and 4 not automatically starting again. The fuel pump of DG3 and 4 was not really a fuel pump, but a flushing pump (FLP).

20/x It is to be noted that the crew response to the 1st black-out was timely and appropriate. Now like I said, the loss of the cooling water pumps created a ME shutdown. This was a requirement at construction, but is NOT anymore because loss of propulsion = loss of steering.

19/x During construction of Dali, these labeling bands were placed on to the ferrule. This made the ferrule thicker and as such, could not be fully inserted in the terminal block and wire 381 was just sitting on top of the clamp, creating a bad connection, and a black-out.

18/x The part of the wire called the "ferrule" is inserted in a terminal block with a clamp inside. This secures the wire. The labeling band, with the number on, should be away from the ferrule so the ferrule can completely be inserted in the terminal block
