orange lime posted:What is going on here? What is happening when the filter looks like it's burning up? Is that oil squirting out and then getting sucked back in/being burned off? He lost the rings in one of the pistons and the pressure is pushing oil out the breather. Reconnecting the PCV isn't going to help it haha.

Pictures from work. What happens when a crane operator tries to stick a 40-foot container into a hole meant for a 20-foot container? The question that everybody has always pondered. IT HAPPEN.   Hours later...

This answers the question of what happens when you try to lift 2 20-foot containers as if lifting a single 40-foot container. If only the two containers weren't filled with liquids.

So how often do containers get hosed up? It can't happen much as a percentage, can it? I have no pretty pictures, this is a strange month & nothing has broken at work.

May I be so bold as to request a container thread? Both disasters and normally working with them. Since they can be put on axles and trucked around, I'd say it fits in the AI spectrum.

Cakefool posted:So how often do containers get hosed up? It can't happen much as a percentage, can it? 100 million containers per year. 10,000 at lost at sea (reported... according to some sources, it could be 5x that) So...0.1% are lost at sea. Maybe its as high as .5%, but thats a LOT of containers. The worst thing is that, depending on whats inside, they can remain "floating" (usually just barely above the surface) for weeks. Major loving navigation hazard. I've seen one when we were at sea out near NJ. Maersk SeaLand container, with about 2" of freeboard. scary poo poo.

InitialDave posted:I imagine it's a seriously bad thing to come across in a small vessel, but I'd have thought that for an ocean-going ship, hitting a lightly-loaded (hence still buoyant) cargo container would be like a car hitting an empty coke can. Not really. "lightly loaded" still means it weighs 10K# or more. Sharp bits and lot of water behind the container=punctured hull.

sharkytm posted:10,000 at lost at sea (reported... according to some sources, it could be 5x that) I guess in comparison to the total number of containers shipped, it's not a huge percent. But I am actually shocked to hear that many containers are simply lost at sea. Does that happen simply by a boat tilting enough and they just fall off, or rogue wave etc...?

I'd be willing to bet that many are "lost" rather than lost, because no one wants their contents to be found

I wish I had pictures of this, but the same ship that I posted above had a container drop into an empty hatch, punched a hole in the double-bottom hull, and proceeded to spill its contents of paint through the damaged container directly into the hull. Took two days to repair and get the USCG to certify that the ship wasn't now a sailing toxic mess (any more than they already are), which is a ginormous delay in the container biz. There was a container knocked off of another slip in Port of Tacoma shortly before I began working in the area. It landed on a longshoreman  I've never seen a container accident myself and I've seen thousands of these things loaded/unloaded now. There's a good reason that crane operators make serious bank, but they can gently caress up just like anybody else. This just happened to one of our ships this week. During 30 foot seas and 50MPH winds the bow went into the water on a hard roll to port. An entire stack of containers toppled over like dominoes, and 6 went into the sea.  meatpimp posted:May I be so bold as to request a container thread? Both disasters and normally working with them. Since they can be put on axles and trucked around, I'd say it fits in the AI spectrum. Go check out http://www.cargolaw.com/gallery.html It's an awful site, but has a huge amount of incredible shipping accidents on it. Sorry, I didn't mean to poo poo up the thread with shipping stuff. I don't know how much of it really qualifies as mechanical failure. incredibull fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Feb 7, 2010 |

That cargolaw site is indeed terrible (it even has *embedded music* on random pages), but those are some awesome photos. Ever wonder what it looks like when an Airbus gets hit by a shoulder-launched missile?  There used to be an engine just to the left of that maintenance scaffold. Some others:     That last one is a ship full of fireworks.

Luckily, if you're shipping a car in a container, the "total loss" insurance for when the container goes for a swim in the drink isn't expensive, but apparently damage insurance is a complete arse to organise.

fist4jesus posted:I'd so try and figure a way to salvage one in secret. Even a 20" half full of water would weigh like 18 tonnes? you'd need a pretty big boat to contemplate it, unless you just wanted to tow it back to port & borrow a crane there. Then you open it & find 25 Chinese bodies, not the 1908 Jag you were hoping for. It'd be kinda fun if money were no object, just playing gigantic ocean lucky-dip. Get boring soon?

InitialDave posted:Salvage isn't really a "keep what you catch" situation, though. Technically you have to claim a percentage-value reward for rescuing someone else's property. In UK waters, at least, cargo remains the property of the original owner. This isn't the UK and it's prize system! This is pirates of deep water! Arrrrrr! Yeah, the can isn't going to weigh that much floating around, because it's well, floating, not going to be light, but max gross on those cans are higher than what we can haul on the interstates, so if it's really heavy, it's playing with Davy Jones. This is dumpster diving played on Nightmare mode.
