What this video covers

The vessel Squib navigates the Rhine River between kilometer markers 496 and 480. During this transit, the crew executes an overtaking maneuver of a push-barge convoy. The passage requires careful positioning and speed management to maintain safety while passing the larger, slower-moving commercial vessel in the restricted river channel. The footage captures the process in a time-lapse format, documenting the relative speeds and the spatial relationship between the sailboat and the commercial tow. No specific technical failures or navigation hazards occur during the maneuver.
