[Watch] Large Container Ship Rolls Uncontrollably in Rough Seas

1266

A dramatic video of a containership struggling in rough seas has resurfaced on social media, reports gCaptain.

The footage, taken over a decade ago, shows the ship rolling dangerously in strong waves, known as parametric rolling. The video, shot from a nearby vessel, was seen tossing at extreme angles of up to 45 degrees.

The ship’s draft- how deep it sits in the water- changes quickly, going from 10.2 to 13.8 meters in just a few seconds.
