Huge Drilling Rig Transport | Mega Transports | Free Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2019
- An drilling rig is towed around the world by a single tug.
A brand-new drilling rig, worth 500 million dollar, has to go from South Korea to Europe. The problem: It is too gigantic for a heavy transport vessel. The solution: it’s being towed. By one single tug. It’s a true Mega Transport, halfway around the globe - all that in just 90 days.
The Mega Transport starts in Ulsan, South Korea. West Bollsta was built here for 6 years - and is now ready to get to its operation site. But how should this beast be delivered? It’s 123 meters long and 76 meters wide. Its maximum drilling depth: incredible 12 kilometers! Way to bulky to be transported in a common way. Surprisingly, a rather small kind of boat is best for the job: the ALP Striker - one of the strongest ocean tugs in the world.
The ALP Striker will pull the drilling rig across the oceans on arm-thick steel cables. They are so heavy that only the ship's own crane can move them. Connecting tug and rig alone takes a whole day.
Once the drilling rig is towed to the tug, they’re embarking on a journey never before seen: around the cape of good hope. Navigation, pirates, wind and waves - there are many unpredictable challenges along the way. Once they have managed them all, the destination is in sight: the Canary islands.

Very nice. I am a captain and used to tow rigs across seas for many years
Many filipino seamen crew
l0
_"If anything should happen, just run away"_ . . . Best advice ever!
That man 20000 iq
Yeah just run away
Exactly, it's not like you can keep these steel wires on their place😂
Excellent documentary of something you don’t see often
It is amazing to me that the engineers, welders, crew and capitans are able to construct and operate these huge objects.
Yeah. Informative
The only sensible comments so far
I grew up at the mouth of Rotterdam Harbor and am so proud to see this Dutch tug safely complete this tow. Respect to Captain Kees and his excellent crew!
Antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
Hey Tina
It seems South Korea and other Asian countries such as China are the builders of most commercial ships, transports, and oil rigs in the world
Finally a documentary in FULL HD!!!
That in itself was a Mega Transport.
Yeah lmao
Gotta respect Kees with all that pressure and responsibility. Nice work.
Its inspiring and very proud to see that many Filipinos are in this work. Very proud of being Filipino. Pilipinas Represent
Great crew of hard working people. :)
shout out to all Filipino crew on that boat ALP Striker..
What a well presented documentary on a very difficult and exacting operation. Every moment was tension filled but the cool and highly professional approach made it look so routine. Hats off to the young skipper of the tug. We wish him and his crew safe towing always. And the crew of the giant rig, successful and rewarding drilling. Stay Safe.
Top Class👌
CONGRATS, for the job well done!
Ang galing, lots of Pinoy seafarers' hands... the Karaoke scene was a good stress reliever.
🎉 Cheers, mariners- mates.
Great documentary but a bit heavy on ads wouldn't you say 🤣
AdBlocker dude - free your brain!
A tip for skipping ads bro.
Just watch untill the very first ad and forward to the last and leave it. After completion of the vedio replay it again and you will never get a single ad.
U still get ads?
You can just slide it to the end when the video starts and hit replay too.
it's called free documentary for a reason
We salute Filipino crew for being a part of this company.
ALP's crew are fun Filipinos, I can tell it by their karaoke past times. LoL
The Filipino Crews has done an excellent and very efficient job. Well done.
Yeah proudly pinoy
May pinoy na crew hehe
galing nga nila. sabi ko na mga pinoy un eh
@@ac3buddy same tayo hahahaha
Good job ALP Striker.....cheers to the Capt. and all Filipino crew man stay safe always guys and God bless!
Nice documentary useful to learn new things. Please provide more documentaries on different fields. Thank you for your contribution 👍👍👍👍
What a great experience to be on such a rig. I have worked for one of such a rig called *Safe Bristolia* in Singapore kepple shipyard during 2007, it was even bigger then this one in the vedio. But what is most striking is the massive ness of the structure. It's an unforgettable experience, and sobering memories. I was also blessed to work for another Russian oil rig in Singapore during 2003 to 2005 a complete refurbishment of the *Marmanskaaya* even Bigger then this one. It's always a joy and a challenge to work on a rig. Good luck guys.
Can we stop with the cliche 'running against the clock' nonsense in all these documentaries please? The content is interesting enough by itself without this manufactured drama.
content is ruined by the narration. all the size comparisons have me wondering what size this oscar guy is.
Well said, I was actually going to say something similar. It’s obnoxious...
🤣😂. I concur with you. But these guys only have the drama for sale. They have to put you on stress & tension.
But on ships you are always running against the clock ... that's just how life is onboard 🤷🏻♂️
@Ethan Mac I guess...but as someone who works on merchant ships i can tell you that your whole life is against the clock from the time you step onboard till the time you step off so maybe that's why I'm used to it😅
Just amazing. I was not even aware that such mega transports are even possible. Just mind blowing. I think it was very well presented too, great work.
Might be easier on the Captain , if they didn't play scary music behind him.
Ohh that was added later to scare Me?
No it was playing in the bridge the whole time.
😃😃😃
😆😆😆
Goed werk Kees. Hollands Glorie!
Was dit niet eerst Smit Tak ?
Another priceless documentary
Well documented
Excellent job by captain case, chief engineer Denise and the entire crew
So proud of this documentary , it is very good
Wow! The ALP Striker is one of the nicest-looking tug boats I've ever seen.
Very amazing voyage to watch..... I felt as if I was part of the operation.
I'm glad I wasn't part of the operation. It looks like really hard work.
Great Journey. ALP Striker is simply Amazing Power house.
Not even in the top 10 in the world
We,definitely owe you Free Documentaries, our especial thanks and gratitude for letting us have such wonderful/marvelous documentaries, which otherwise in no way possible; more so in such a big number on varied subjects and ways. Thanks again.
Phenomenal video and what incredible workers and staff. Well done.
Hello Sir, How are you? I'm from Cambodia.
I think there were pinoy crews working on that alp striker😊 we salute you sir🇵🇭🙏 mabuhay kayo mga pilipino❤️🇵🇭
Yes pansin ko nga rin
Walang kawala "ok mo" sabi nung isa nung nagkakantahan na🇵🇭🇵🇭
meron talaga pinoy yan mga mate,
Hands down the best Documentary Channel on RUclips
The alp striker is such a beautiful ship.
I used Google to find out how much it is worth and it said 260 million.
This is some good stuff right there, really exciting.
Thank you Free documentary team for bringing such wonderful videos. You reinforce my passion for Engineering and allied studies.
I dont know why i like this Kind of documentals they are very impressed
Wow what a journey!
Great Documentary.
Wow! Very informative. I loved this documentary.
29:45 i like the drone landing spot with a marked D
Amazing, well planned, executed transport!
Big respect for seaman ♥️ all over globe ⚓
this is such a knowledgeable documentary. Delivering the oil rigg that massively supplies the world's necessities is so underrated. Hands down to the well-trained 40 handworking people🙌
it’s hard to get the entire family to watch aaaanything together, but we watched this. great job 👏👏👏
"The greater the distance between tug and tow the deeper the wire sags this acts as a shock absorbed reducing the tension and thus protects the main towing wire and the chain anchors on the rig this is the only way for the connection to survive the continuous load"
"In shallow water the steel cable would grind on the rocky seabed and break so when they near a coastline the crew has to pull the rig at the distance of around 400 meters minimum"
Great important lesson learn, sir!
YEA
This was pretty neat
Simply amazing.
Wooow!!A massive successful transportation 👍👍👌👌👌
amazing. say hai from indonesia 👋🇮🇩
Wow that's pretty cool shhhh! The power on that tug is downright gangsta!
That is a beautiful tug. Sleek design and elegant styling.
This is just phenomenal...
Salute to all the pilipino crews,great job guys💪💪💪
Proud to be pinoy
I salute to the Filipino crew members
I'm impressed! Looks like a great job from all angles!
wow. this gave me goosebumps. job well done 👌
am i the only one who thought that the drilling rigs didn't float? and were just like attached the the ocean floor?
There are many types of rigs, some are attached to floor, some are attached by cables, some are self proppeled, like this one.
Depends on how much oil is down there really. If it's shitload then they will build a permanent structure. Otherwise they will build something like this one.
Rigs are mobile, such as a semi-sub like here, jack up or drill ship. Platforms are permanent structures usually attached by a "jacket".
It is muck like balancing on as seasaw. Years ago a welder quit on one of the early semis when He discovered it was floating!
@@adinicic4259 It doesn't depend on the amount of oil but the depth of the sea at the point. Deploying a massive oil rig is so expensive that it does not matter that much if it's built to the seafloor or not. If there is enough oil to deploy a rig, there is enough oil to justify building a permanent structure.
The problem however is that most of the oil is so deep down, that it does not make any sense to build it to the bottom. Free floating or cable-attached, or semi subs are basically without depth restrictions. Those that are attached to the floor are basically used in waters less than 300 meter deep, there are exceptions tho.
And funny thing is, even the biggest fixed, norwegian built, oil rigs were actually floated to the scene and then ballast tanks were flooded to make the whole structure sit on the seabed.
Haven worked on different oil rigs, I found this delivery fascinating and carefully planned.
Hello Sir, How are you? I'm from Cambodia.
@@mathananaturallife8528 heey
Glad to find this channel. Keep it up!
Good run Captains and crew think id change the oil now
33:53 mga pinoy tlga😆solid mga pre good job🔥🇵🇭

Anywhere or any kind of ship, cargo, cruise, tug boat, etc, etc, there's always a Filipino on board. It's a fact of the global maritime industry. The best!!
"Dyay number man". Haha. Ilocano pa nga😅😅
Massive move amazing, hell of a operation on a big scale. There men are putting in some important hard work. 👍🤟
AMAZING & ICREDIBLE DOCUMENTARY
20:20 "...in spite of the swell." Really? The narrator really does have an inflated sense of drama!
yeah tiny waves :)
Lol renko could do it much easier that detroit is a monster!!!!
What you mean? transporting this cain of mega structure is that easy?
Can give you couple bucks for Starbucks with those narrative. No shame for money.
Mabuhay ang mga marinong Filipino🇵🇭🇵🇭
Mabuhay godbless
Great job! Excellent planning! Congrats! Pinoys are definitely part of this successful sails!
I enjoyed every minute of this documentary, thanks!
"this shakle alone ways about 150kilograms" little man lift it by himself haha ;) 15:30

Good to know that FILIPINO's worked on this big transport.
Mabuhay ang marinong pinoy mate.

i see white my eyes this beautiful alp striker when hi going to sea indonesia so very lihe hulk and dam beautiful ship i evet see in my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantástico!👏👏👏
Excellent video of ALP Striker towing monster oil rig, great job‼️
THE MOST BEAUTIFULL JOB IN THIS BUISNESS. Nice to watch this documentary, really enjoy it.
Everyone displayed excellent professional expertise! I am surprised that with today's technology, cameras weren't mounted on the two platforms near the anchor points to constantly monitor the towing/emergency lines!
Nice
Amazing voyage and video. Thank you for sharing this.
Deze bemanning zal wel 3 maanden op zee! Fantastische inzet dus.
Captain: **just standing and watching**
Narrator: *Captain Case is getting impatient.*
