Lofoten '07 ...... Nordnorge '11
The same effect as taking a bathingball between your hands and bring it a meter or so under water when in a pool.
When you release your grip on the ball, be sure to keep your face away...., because that ball will be a rocket.
Trapped air when forced under water have tremendous power...
"IF GOD COULD MAKE ANGELS...., WHY IN HELL MAKE MAN?"
I've delivered pictures of "Viking Athene" before...., I know...., but it is something I can't put my finger on when it comes to the design of this vessel. I like it alot! Maybe it got something to do with her appearing strong and "standing tall"....? I don't know, here's another picture taken in Kristiansund this afternoon....

She does indeed appear very 'sturdy and strong' and she got a pleasant design, even though it is a bit bulky. Sometimes, it just works very well, I agree.

Great captures from Tromso...
I wonder though, why this vessel, Svartfoss, often when I see her, she has a significant forward trim...

More and less every time she or her sister ship is sailing by they have forward trim.But even though they have this forward trim, they are going with a service speed between 15.5 - 16.5 knots.But it look's a bit odd,because its seldom to se this two ships at even keel.I have seen her fully loaded many times,but still she has big forward trim.I wonder if this is a economic way to sailOriginally Posted by pakarang

I spotted this cruise ship heading throught the Miraflores Locks today.

Some ships does indeed produce better speeds at forward trim, but it is quite unusual I think. The only other ship I can think of sailing better at forward trim, was the Leeward of Norwegian Cruise Line: she sailed best at 1.05 meter forward trim because the water slipped better away from the stern then (she had a very unusual design beneath the water line and aft trim created additional drag aft of the ship).More and less every time she or her sister ship is sailing by they have forward trim.But even though they have this forward trim, they are going with a service speed between 15.5 - 16.5 knots.But it look's a bit odd,because its seldom to se this two ships at even keel.I have seen her fully loaded many times,but still she has big forward trim.I wonder if this is a economic way to sail
pilotdane: thanks for the Panama Canal capture of today: I think it looks like one of the Silver Seas - ships...: could it be the Silver Shadow maybe?

For those in favour of beer out there (me included), a sommelier is someone who knows his/her wines....sommelier
EDIT: By the way, "Silver Shadow" was last seen in the Panama Canal according to my info, so that might most certainly be her...

"IF GOD COULD MAKE ANGELS...., WHY IN HELL MAKE MAN?"
"Libas" on her way in Tromsøysundet this morning.She is loaded with 900 tons of capelin fishing in the Barenz sea close to the Russian border.
The ship is heading to Sommarøy(outside of Tromsø) for delivery.
A few minutes later "Harvest" went by Tromsøysundet with 750 tons of capelin.Destination Måløy/Florø.

Bengt, it looks sooo COLD there today!! I'm watching the robins play out in the garden...I guess spring is here in Georgia--HOORAY!

Not so cold today +1.But it has been snowing a lot the last two days.The forecast for the next days promissing cold and sunny weather.
BTW the spring is about 2.5 month away for us here up in the north
Both trawlers look a bit low in the bow but Harvest seems to be sitting very low in general. I am not used to seeing open ocean ships with such shallow freeboard. I imagine her main deck is under water often in heavy seas when she is fully loaded.
Take a look of this boat in heavy seas loaded with blue whiting.This is usual weather in north sea in the winter season.

Thank you for the video. I am glad I decided to NOT become a fisherman in the North Sea. On the positive side they do not have to wash down the decks. Mother nature seems to be doing a very thorough job.
I am afraid I would not make a good captain on that boat. I would have the deck hatches welded shut.
