Loading and Securing Yachts

The video tutorial covers the arrival of a cargo ship in Guadeloupe, which is six days behind schedule. The ship is tasked with loading 17 yachts, including a catamaran, which complicates the original loading plan. The team must carefully load the yachts, taking extra precautions to avoid damage. The process involves lifting a trimaran and securing it safely, followed by the challenging task of loading a second boat in a tight space. The video highlights the importance of safety, teamwork, and problem-solving in a high-risk environment.
