Superships - Giants of the Sea | Full Documentary

Рік тому

Unveiling the X-ray Enigma: • Radiant Revelations: U...
Ships transport 90 percent of the world's goods traffic. Our film accompanies the giants of the sea on their journey. From a shipyard in China, where giant cargo ships are built, to a fully automated terminal in Rotterdam to ALP Striker, the most powerful oceangoing tug worldwide. Also the program shows environmentally friendly concepts that use wind, hydrogen or LNG (liquefied natural gas) as a power unit. Superships - where will their journey head in the future?

Having a totally automated port isn’t really a flex in my eyes. People need to work, especially now days. Making it fully automated puts thousands and thousands of people out of work, all so the companies can save money and be “more efficient”

Thanks for sharing. First time hearing about the vikings landing in Newfoundland. It was only about 2 months ago, they found a wooden ship here by the Island. Never been explored yet I don't think. But never know, it could be a vikings boat maybe.

He’s lucky he’s building them instead of living aboard. Merchant seafaring is indentured servitude for up to an entire year spent at sea with no time off working as much as 100 hours per week. American seamen have it relatively easy in that they typically only get stuck aboard for four months, but again, typically with no days off working up to 100 hours per week. Then you get these two month vacations back home where you don’t even know anyone who’s a seaman. It’s the twilight zone. I quit after eight years to become a barber.

Getting out of the Navy after my 4 years was up was the biggest mistake I've ever made and I'll always regret it!!!

@marcmeinzer8859 9 місяців тому

@@Glenn-em3hv I was in the navy and got out. I could hardly wait to get out the entire time I was in because I foolishly volunteered for submarine duty. I got a shot at OCS and was so disgusted with the chickenshit double dose of boot camp that I resigned after just 3 days. In retrospect I might’ve found the navy more agreeable if I’d been maybe a cook or a ship’s serviceman [barber] instead of a quartermaster. I ended up in the merchant marine as a boatswain’s mate which means I really should’ve been a BM in the navy as well at least for that job. Lots of merchant marine officers are naval reservists and typically they’re not tempted to volunteer to go on active duty so that’s got to tell you something.

Very well done! Òne problem I did notice was the pronunciation of Newfoundland. It is not "NewFINland". It is "NewfnLAND". I should add that the presenter's pronunciation was at least original. I don't recall hearing that one ever before. I think most of my confreres in Newfoundland, if forced to accept a change, would not mind being associated with a country and a people like Finland, our new NATO friends.

I've always wanted to visit Antarctica but with the signing of the antarctic treaty by 130 nations which prevents citizens from going unless it's on a guided tour, I will never get to see that beautiful 150' ice wall that surrounds our globe and holds our ocean waters in! 😢

@rosemiller1448 Рік тому

Oil drilling rig are transported by special ships. ALP Striker....is a specialist ship , the cargo it tugs is the oil drilling rig. The tow line cannot snap at sea.The pontoons show efficient stability. Such transport is extremely rare, and very risky . Tow lines have to be checked regularly by engineers in a rubber dingy. The destination of the drilling rig...the seven seas is a busy water way.

@shaunmcclory8117 Рік тому

Ahh so thats why dozens of bulk carriers sink every year🇨🇳

@marcmeinzer8859 Рік тому

Absolutely. Bulk carriers are the most dangerous ships owing to their general lack of compartmentalization in tandem with the tendency of wet iron ore to form sulfuric acid which then eats holes in the hull. They literally vanish without a trace. Working bulk carriers on the Great Lakes isn’t quite as dangerous because the fresh water there isn’t as corrosive.

Barely a fraction of cars have gone electric, or probably ever will go electric. If you want zero emission ships, the only option would be giving them all nuclear power.
