pseudochicken Posted May 8, 2014 #76 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I gotta agree. It's like that children's game "telephone." The linked article in post #2 above says the whale was "stuck to the front of a large cruise [sic] Sunday". It makes no mention of "rudders" and seems to indicate the mechanical issue was unrelated to the whale. No one notices when a cargo container ship hauling all their Chinese imports strikes a whale, but hit one with a cruise ship and everyone loses their minds. Well said.

NormanW Posted May 8, 2014 #77 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Our Brunvoll tunnel thrusters have duty cycles that have to be strictly followed. An unusual, non emergency event could still bring this into play. Currents in this area can be very challenging at times. That is all I have to say about that. ;) Cheers, Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
