HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- 315 metres long, 65 metres high, weighing 80,000 tonnes and capable of transporting more than 7,000 people, the Meraviglia is the ultimate cruise ship. But how was she built? More than 2,500 people worked day and night, using the latest technological developments to lessen the environmental impact.

PLEASE ADVISE ME.
I was told to spread my savings across different things like Trade to protect and support my retirement. with everything being shaky,I'm considering going into Trade. i don't wanna make the wrong choice.
@Zubaida.Ali.Ali5327Ellen DeGeneres hosted Kate floretta on TV 2 yrs ago that was where I saw kate and followed up.i have also been attending her Trade seminars.
you must have these things in mind
1. Have a long term mindset.
2. Be willing to take *risk*.
3. Be careful, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending.
4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with an assistant.
Yo I didn't know Kate was this popular,my cousin trade with her for some months now, I tried but couldn't understand anything it's not my thing tho so I passed Lol. I can testify that trade pays very well because my cousin at 23 bought a house already.
When it comes to Trade, I can confidently say that bitcoin is the best option. But most people think it's all about buying and leaving it to rise but It takes a lot more you need to trade it to earn daily.
I think I might have came across the name on an interview last year where she spoke about finance.
If you want an "eco friendly" ship, it should be nuclear powered and mostly built of the new laminated woods, at least for areas not in direct contact with sea water.
U mean a "rowboat"? , don't you?! ✌😆
@@skylinez9367 aircraft carriers are nuclear powered
That would be awesome to see such polluting industry converting to nuclear and use more recyclable materials (instead of sending metal ships rotten in India)
@@TheBucketSkill yes some carriers and subs are nuclear powered
WE LOVE MSC We wont sail with anyone else anymore. April 2021 here we come again! Love the Seaside.
Agreed! The Seaside was hands down the best cruise I have ever been on
Yes. MSC is one of my favorite cruise lines because they let you book travel on a lot of their ships from point A to point B so you can actually use them as transport to destinations.
Excellent video well done✓
It’s all interesting but I have never had desire to go on a cruise ship.
Wait a second, the numbers don't add up, how can MSC comfortably fit 7,000 passengers & crew on a ship that's only 80,000 tonnes? Oasis of the Seas at 220,000 tonnes holds the same amount, 5,400 passengers with 2,000 crew but she's almost 3x larger?
180,000 tonnes not 80,000 tonnes
But then they claim it weighs the equivalent of 6,000 buses = 66,000 tonnes
There is a difference between Displacement tonnage or how much a ship would weigh if it was put on giant scales and Gross Tonnage which measures the enclosed space on a ship (the most common measure for passenger ships). They quoted DT which is usually less than half GT for liners.
@@Dave_Sisson what is the combined / fully loaded weight of this ship ?
168,000GT to keep the numbers consistent.
Who the heck wants to be on a ship with 7000 people? F that!
At first I thought this was a documentary about building a cruise ship…then I realized it was actually a test to see how many fucking ads they can squeeze into 10 minute intervals. Quit watching 20 minutes in and went back to Netflix.
Wow, the ship produces its own electricity. So now they can get rid of the extension cord.
Wkwkwkwkwk
It could contribute to a country's grid at port, get money back to pay for the desserts.
Bra😅
Fucking long ass cord that.
Hahaha. 😁😁😁
Not only that, it comes with a front, back, sides, top AND bottom! It’s a big thing made out of a bunch of little things!
So it took 684 years to build the boat
My calculator made me understand this comment 😂
It would make sense if they were referring to man hour😂
I get the feeling that the narrator really loves the gantry crane
guys please know we have all did evil (sin) and we are punished with death and since evil separates us from God we will go to hell.

The title of this video made me believe this was a DIY project.
You mean it's not?
yea right!!!! like they are going to build that in there backyard pool always a cynical comedian
............. french speaking people need to learn to speak english it would make life so simple
just use the info you got and scale down to your budget , mine ship is currently sailing in the kitchen sink ,
A black man designed and built the ship.
😂😂
can people just appreciate how talented these engineers are?
J M. I agree with you 💯 percent these engineering masters are to be admired for their tenacity and professionalism these guys were the top of the class at school ? All the haters are jealous ✔️
Naval Architects.
It's very nice piece of machine
@@lukepeita5402 ,'fcto
@@lukepeita5402 The whole thing is based on flawed thinking and an awful lot of guesswork. The maintenance cost ALONE on this sort of build is going to be prohibitive in the long-term, leading to fewer cruise arrangements and a consequent loss of income.
Further to all that, it should be remembered that during the post-sail days and the advent of powered vessels, simplicity was regarded as a necessity - one to keep the initial cost down, and two, to keep maintenance outgoings to a minimum; however it's in man's nature to "improve" such machinery to maximise performance, so it's obvious that "tweaking" hardware will eventually lead to failure of some of the more heavily-stressed items in the drive train.
In the case of ships, you can multiply those extra costs by fourfold to get anywhere near the potential losses of overstressing ANY aspect of the original specifications of the vessel - so the OBVIOUS inference is to keep everything as simple as possible.
"Pushing the envelope" might seem to be an added attraction, but when weighed against the possibilities of overloading / overstressing even minor parts of the ships' inventory could have even bigger ramifications, not only from local upsets among the passengers and crew, but to the good name of the company as a whole.
In short, and using the well-worn RN saying, "keep it simple, stupd"!!
What a beautifully made advertisement. I’ll take two please lol
yeah lol
I'll take one as well... I'll see if they're being sold on Amazon. Or maybe someone is selling one used on eBay...
EDIT: Joking aside I just discovered you *_CAN_* buy cargo ships on AliBaba!!!

The huge pieces of steel were soldered together with great precision? I thought they would have welded them.
That’s about where I stopped watching.
They are welded
@@Poppindaddy79 as a welding engineer I know they are welded. I was mocking the terminology used in the video. The narrator clearly says “soldered”.
@@Poppindaddy79 haha, ok
They do make a point of describing how some stuff is brazed later on, “melting metal like glue”. The narrator doesn’t make a distinction between hull steel and deck steel.
So that epic mullet isn't going to get a mention?
I was confused about the power output until he clarified it by comparing it to 7000 washing machines. 7000 washing machines is so much more relatable. I don't know anyone who hasn't seen 7000 washing machines.
I was way off track until the double decker buses were brought into the scenario.
@@seanworkman431 k
If he had said 7000 dryers I would have been really impressed.
😀
They have left out a vital part of a cruise ship. The provisioning, storing of provision, retrieving the provision to food processing/catering & distribution to the eateries. It would be interesting to get a video on this aspect of cruise ship arrangement & activity.
For a ship of this size only one day is provided to load the provide. That must be very mechanized and hence interesting. interesting
nah that shit is called "magic"
HA HA NO ONE CARES
No way am i trusting this shit. Coming from an engineer 😂😂
if a cruise ship can produce enough water for luxurious maintenance of the ship along with thousands of people on board using seawater, I can't see why countries around the world dont treat sea water for their entire population
Cost energy usage and you need clean sea water
They do some places. Reason it's nor more widespread is primarily down to politics and weird priorities. The planet has more than plenty of resources for everybody.
So when it's dumped back in the ocean as freshwater, it's changing the oceans' salinity.
Next video, the ship the lost the most money after a pandemic.
Just think how that is impacting the USA as most such ships are beneficially owned in the USA.
@@boffeycn actually not. No major cruise lines has its registered headquarters in the US. And they don't pay Tax in the US either, but in countries like Liberia and Panama. So technically none are US owned. For example Royal Caribbean is Liberian, Carnival is incorporated in Panama and the UK. The Us Carnival company is actually organized as a Subsidiary of the Panamese company.
@@Mika-85 Actually, yes. I note you are a numpty. What does "beneficially owned" mean?
maybe a title like, the ship that can carry 7000 that will only be allowed to carry 3000. yeah, i know, same result.
@@Mika-85 There is actually 1 cruise ship registered in the US. Its owned by NCL, its called the Pride of America.
So my question as always is, how the hell do these behemoths make money? 600 hundred million Euro's to build, how many people cruising does that take to pay off? Then you get the running costs, the captains, engineers, all the other ship workers, then you get chefs, waiting staff, cleaners etc etc. Then you get fuel costs, maintaining this massive ship etc etc the list is endless and constant. So when and how does it become profitable?
Crazy challenge. You certainly wont get me going on a ship with 7 THOUSAND other people!!!!
I worked on these ships for years, when the ventalation system is turned off to save power, money, they smell like all holy hell !
I don't see why people just don't go to a resort or a shopping mall, if they want to be around a lot of people. It would not be a vacation to me. If the ship was sinking, you'd be lucky to get on a lifeboat.

Stop calling it a "liner" - this is a cruise ship, not a traditional ocean liner...totally different.
11:01 theyre going to find out.
A qubic metre of water is not the same as a litre of water. Its 1000 to 1.
Next ,how to scrap a cruise ship and remove the middle class.
So poorly researched. Soldering and welding are not the same. Electric drive pods are not new. I work on a 15 year old cruise ship that weighs 80,000 tons, 6 engines produce 80,000hp, and has these pods. And it’s the smallest ship in my companies fleet.
It looks small if your just watching a video but if you see the ship in person you will be shock or the size
Thank you for this.. so interesting the amount of engineering for every single aspect of the ship.. amazing

Who the bloody hell wants go on a cruise with 7000 other people. Crazy
Especially the drunks and screaming kids.
And then a capt schettino comes along and ruins all this in a few hours.
Concordia moment
With every possible inconvenience, bump, roll and gust of wind eliminated, there hardly seems to be any point to being on a ship at all.
I will say it is a nice way to travel to another country lol.
God bless all the teams and workers, this is oustanding, excellent video production as well. Generations will continue to owe you gratitude for all the good you do for humanity.

I may be wrong, I'm not a marine engineer but the vessel to me doesn't look awfully seaworthy it's too top-heavy.
6 million hours = 685 years 🤔
Excellent ship to sail on. Went on it earlier this year. Excellent onboard activities b
Great ship, never meddem

If it requires diesel fuel for 4 generators, then how exactly does it "produce it's own power"? By that standard, my lawn mower belongs in this conversation.
I was wondering about this part of the specs. Flannel. Every one of these buckets represents an environmental tragedy. We are gazing through the wrong end of binoculars. Everything we do or touch seems to be destructive. This is going to bite back.
An engineering marvel but an environmental and - can't find the word - nightmare.

Did you say 6million hours you crazy burstad..
365×24hrs=8760hrs a yr
Working for 4yrs means 8760×4
Do di math..not even close to 1M burstalic busstad
@27:25 -- the narration states 200 cubic meters of water per day per person on board is required.
even more impressive when you convert that to 52,834 gallons of water per person per day.
@27:34 -- even more impressive still, is the graphic showing 1,400,000 liters of water, while the narration states "1.4 million cubic meters of water per day", which is 1,400,000,000 liters of water.
makes one wonder if the other numbers are off by a factor of 10. or more.
and have a nice day.
actually, most municipalities use human consumption of 88 gallons per day per person.
that would be 616,000 gallons per day for 7000 persons.
or 2,331,813 liters per day for 7000 persons.
or 2,332 cubic meters per day for 7000 persons.
NOT a liner. Meraviglia is nothing more than a cruise ship. A liner is designed keel up to cross the Atlantic on a weekly basis (only 'liner' on the high seas today is Queen Mary 2), something Meraviglia could not do. Her green tech. is impressive and the path for a sustainable future, however.
the engineering is amazing - being on a boat with 7000 people is a nightmare
Never went on one, all I think about is E-Coli or Listeria outbreaks and being locked up with so many others. I am considering crossing the ocean on a container tanker, just you and a small crew and the infinity of the ocean.
@@plexoduss yeah - a freighter trip would be interesting
Imagine if it was sinking, and 7000 people are rushing to the lifeboats.
That ship is as large as the RMS Titanic, you guys better hope that thing does Not hit an ice Berg because mark my words, it Will Sink !!!! I will be the third Titanic in history to crash and sink in history and billions of lives will be Lost !!! Prey for this ship and crew.
The main thing is missing in the documentary. That’s the Giant Marine Diesel engine which powers the entire ship.
4 diesel engine
6 million divided by 2500 workers is 2400hrs each worker puts in
2400hrs divided be 365 is 6.5 years

This is just a sales pitch for this stupidly big boat and the cruise industry in general. I laugh at how they keep pushing the "environmental friendliness" of this huge and unnecessary craft that quickly burns hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel, and whether that diesel smoke is sprayed with water for passenger comfort or not, it pollutes terribly.
Think you might need to weld the steel together on this ship because if you solder her together she isn’t going float for long! Solder/Weld? Proof read perhaps?
Translation error most likely, souder in French means both solder and weld.
Why would anyone want to go on a ship with 7000 people in this day and age? I just looked up the most populated Apartment complex and its in Switzerland they have 1000 less people than that Cruise ship
I do not want to be stuck on that ship, crammed elbow to elbow with 7,000 people. No Way !
when covid happening, yeah not ever gonna happen in 10 years.
@@smokyblackeyes3615 this statement would be no less true if infectious diseases didn't exist.
Not that it really matters, but there's never 7k people onboard of that ship. With crew, it's around 6k. Even the larger cruise ships can't get near 6,5k at the moment.
@@Rikitikisiki Oh, like that's really a difference.
A feat of engineering, yes, but I don't get the concept behind these ships: So, you want to spend months journeying across the ocean, but you don't want to have any of the inconveniences that normally come with that, not even the wind and the motion of the sea - not even a little bit - and you also want to spend your time exactly like in a huge hotel complex on land including dumb cranked-up consumerism?
Yeah, sail around in a ship but pretend to be in las vegas on land :P Seems weird.
I actually like being able to feel the ship is moving, feel a slight vibration from the engines aswell as hearing their humm, it calms me down. But that is maby also because I primarily has been onboard smaller to medium sized ships of lesser "luxurious" quality since I was a child, so I sort of expect those kind of inconveniencies when sailing.
"Huge pieces of metal had to be cut, and soldered to perfection." There is a huge difference between "soldering" and welding. When non-technical people try to produce a video about a technical topic. I stopped it here.
Yes indeed....my ears pricked up when he stated 'soldered'.....which is something that's done mainly on silicon CHIPS.....not SHIPS........
Quite. I have found most documentaries, news reports etc. about things maritime have similar problems. such as referring to ships as tankers just because they have bunker tanks. I used to take such errors up with producers and publishers but gave up when i was invariably brushed off as a crank or a not-picker.
This even extended to reports on vessel groundings and the consequent oil spills and clean ups.
@@albertchehade9916 PS. Also it is the MSC Meraviglia. Wankers!
I don't actually know, but couldnt it be a UK English vs US English thing?
@@kylesanders8276 No. It is a wilful ignorance thing. Plus a good dose of arrogance on the part of the script writers and producers.
Welding and soldering have exactly the same meaning on both sides f the Atlantic, and in all English speaking communities. Just like brewing and distilling but not like ass or fanny.
Then the wuflu wrecked it all.
U funny guy!
Don’t forget the violin players. They need to be on board too 🎻
These ships are like the Airbus A380,unless they are full they don’t make money. Seagoing monstrosities.
You're wrong. Do some research before commenting on something you know nothing about, these ships can turn a profit with only 30% of their capacity. It's the older, smaller ships that won't turn a profit due to their lack of balconies and amenities.
It seems the narrator is confusing liters with cubic meters. 1.4 million cubic meters would be 1.4 billion liters, and that's not what the engineers are saying.

Anyone sailed on a ship this size? I’ve never been on a cruise, my wife would need to attach a tracker to me on this cruiser because i’m an inquisitive roamer, can’t sit still, i’d be gone for days on this thing.
Hahah. I’ve been on the biggest cruises from royal Caribbean and I got lost each time. Had to use the maps they have the whole trip. It’s intimidating with all the people and things to do but once you get a routine and path down it’s just fine

Well it's a damn ugly ship but still really impressive!
I know right!? Granted beauty is "in the eye...", but it is not a criterion for designing contemporary passenger ships. And the ugliness replicates across cruise lines since most ships are from about 5 templates.
@@g1a1r1y3 Indeed. And I mean you can make practical yet nice looking ships. Many cargo ships(especially the dutch designs) look really good!
Clickbait. Playing stormworks and was hoping for an ACTUAL tutorial. Thanks a lot!
I like how the say 1400000 m3 of water daily like 50 times and it a mistake lol. 1.4Mm3 would be like the volume of the ship. They probably mean 1.4M liters.
Was looking for the first comment on this, 1,400,000m3 is 1.4 billion litres of water. Thats ALOT of water.
sorry i stepped on your comment. i just didn't read down far enough.
Go on a cruise with 7000 people...........why would you want to ........
I have had it explained to me several times but I still don't get it - How does an 80,000 ton ship float? I also heard once that a cruise liner running everything can only travel its own length on a gallon of crude oil, it makes you wonder doesn't it...
Simple, really... The ship weighs less than the amount of water it displaces, therefore it floats.
@@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28, yep, that’s how it works. If the ship takes on too much weight, it’ll weigh more than the water it displaces and the ship will sink.
If the ship were too light, it would sit too high in the water and be too difficult to maneuver.
A solution to homelessness!
Can we download the drawings now and the owners handbook and start building one in the backyard beside the garage.
Haynes do a manual.
a ship like this has around 150,000 drawings and just the manual to start the engines is around 600 pages!
Vacationing in a Floating Mall you can not leave.
Sand beach for me.
These cruisers want to shop, go rock climbing, see entertainment, go on pool slides...they might as well not be on a boat.😗
My head hurt when I saw those blueprints with millions of lines and number 😑
Would anyone travel on a ship with steel panels that were 'soldered'?
I read the title as 'Engineering and Building a 80,000 *Tom Cruise* ship'.
Could you not find anyone who speaks English to talk to? All that foreign babble is very annoying to listen to.
Who the hell would want to be on a ship/vacation with 6k+ other people. No thanks!
The ship is so extremely top-heavy that I would not willingly be a passenger. A rogue wave will capsize it.
Its the same documentary as all the others, do something new. More technical
Imagine if humans were actually not just worried about money. This thing would just be a sea based farm delivering food globally.

I wouldn't board this thing on a bet! Just look the the ridiculous height of this ship! How can it be stable? Perhaps it is unlikely, but just imagine a 20- or 30-meter rogue wave hitting this behemoth from the side. Goodbye, 7,000 people! No time to get into the life boats. Si Yo Nara!
My thoughts too. Imagine 7000 people rushing for the life boats. You'd get trampled, especially with all of the drunk people on board.
The title confused me at first because I never see ships measured in tons, only ever gross tonnage. Meraviglia is 171,598 tonnes, which makes her the 14th largest cruise ship today.
Really do I wanna be on a ship which 7000 people bumping into each other I don't think so.🤨
Its nice but not with corona
You have more room then you think. Last cruise i was on have 5400 people and didnt even feel like 1000 people
Going on a cruise with 7,000 other people??? No thank you. These abhorrent behemoths are an insult to the old B/W ocean liners of old. Classless.
Yes, we really need cruise ships now, don't we?
It entered service in June 2017.
LOL
11:05 Marin is a world class Dutch institute NOT a part of the France yard
13:03 Promo video from ABB the builder (inventor) from those Azipots NOT part a of the France yard!
14:26 Rule number 1 in business, rely on your own strength and not on your competition's weaknesses. The carnival Vista sailed out of the harbor with a pilot and had to endure a crosswind that had to be reacted by the engines. Isn't it a bit sad that you take a competitor-built ship from a competing shipping company as a negative example to promote your own product?
Incidentally, the Carnival Vista is also equipped with the ABB Azipods.
17:58 Nearly 1200 tons.... yep 1400 tons , thats what you find on the internet.
I thought I saw a documentary about the construction of a cruise ship but got a big French ego show ... but that's how we know them? :)
Do tou know what the French tell to you? I let you imagine?
En abrégé c’est TDC!
Judging on the outside, the Merveille ship looks more like an apartment building on a boat as cabin windows surround the ship from top to bottom, unlike the Symphony of the Seas cruise ship which looks more like an entertainment ship.
Agreed,there's a difference between a passenger liner, and a cruise liner.
Its the inside that counts, if you are a passanger. The oasis class have some balconies facing central park, that for my taste, feels cramped and the whole purpuse of a balcony is to feel the breeze and sun, whileyou watch the ocean. I really dont like them.
I'm always amazed how such things float 80'000 tons of metal floats like a dream yet a 14 stone man can drown in minits .
They can drown in minutes too
It's simple. The weight of the water that the ship displaces is less than it weighs. The ship is mostly air, water is heavy AF. Doesn't matter if it's a log of wood or 100k t ship. As long as the displaced water weighs more than the ship it will float.
Every single cruise ship documentary acts like Azipods were invented for the specific ship when they've been around for like 40 years
Wow. They soldered all those steel plates together!
A cruise ship is not a liner. There are definite differences between the two types. The RMS Queen Mary 2 is a liner. MV Meraviglia is NOT.
On a huge ship like that, do they have enough life rafts, or whatever they are called now, for all the passengers? Just curious. I've never been on a floating Petri dish before.
Yes. check out IMO and SOLAS. They aren't floating Petri dishes unless you mean the rich wankers who refuse to apply common sense and societal norms.
Spidey Whiplash wow! How uneducated are you?
All ships must carry enough life boats to hold 150% of the crew and guests! As for “floating Petri dish” how original yawn 🥱 I’ve never gotten sick on a ship, but I know how to wash my hands with soap and water.
No thanks...too many people in one spot.
I would not want to be on this ship with 7000 other people, and we have to evacuate... I believe that thousands are going to die...
I agree. People would be trampled, pushed aside, and pushed overboard so others could get on the lifeboats first.
When they finished putting the ship together... imagine walking around it BEFORE they put all the walls up.
How HUGE and amazing it must look.
Talk about feeling like Noah just before the flood ... lol
