What's with the elevenerifing? Both terms are real and refer to the same physical phenomena.
TBH I have absolutely no idea what you mean. elevenerifing ???
“Have a nice Easter holiday?”
“Yeah, we went to Tenerife”
“Well my family went to Elevenerife”

Google said they are starting to unload some of the containers.
And they have the black box as well, didnt even know ships had one.
According to the NTSB information in their briefing the level of information in the black box is very basic. Nowhere near that of a plane.And they have the black box as well, didnt even know ships had one.

PS, just googled it’s a data recorder commonly referred to a black box, all news reports are calling it a black box.

Always wondered why planes black box’s were orange, found this for info if anyone is interested-
They were essentially photograph-based flight recorders since the record was made on a scrolling photographic film.
The latent image was made by a thin ray of light deviated by a mirror tilted according to the magnitude of the data to record (altitude, speed, etc.).
Since the inside of the recorder was pitch black, this may be the origin of the "black box" name, often used as a synonym for a flight recorder.

The VDR, Voyage Data Recorder, will record ECDIS (electronic charts info) RADAR and voice as a minimum.
Because of the way ships are ‘driven’ by issuing orders rather than taking the controls yourself as in a car, there will be a recording of those orders.
The verbal closed loop communication is pretty disciplined on most ships.
Aircraft use a hybrid system whereby the handling pilot tells the co-pilot what they are doing & the non-handling pilot confirms the manoeuvre.
There have been instances where the handling pilot says one thing & does another.
This is picked up by aircraft recording systems but not on ship’s ones.

I'd have thought helm angle and telegraph would be necessary too.
Yes, not unknown for the navigator's orders to the helm are mis-heard or just be plain dumb. I overheard an order of "Starboard 20, steer 385". The helm's response was "Starboard 20, steer 025. Eye, sir.". Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
