Fascinating from an engineering point of view, but you wouldn't catch me on a cruise. Being stuck in the middle of an ocean with thousands of people is not my idea of fun. I'd go insane.
What I appreciate most about these documentaries is the absence of drama like National Geographic likes to introduce. "There's a problem, if it cannot be fixed, it will cost 15 million dollars per day". None of that here, just informative and interesting. Thanks for that
funny,one never sees the people whose farms are on the Ems River and pastures are regularly flooded when one of those big ships is being towed out into the sea. Meyer Werft IS the biggest employer there, AND the biggest tax payer, which no one denies. BUT how much bigger can they do it? I think in the end they will have to build a second Meyer downriver. Where they can finish all that can not be done -inland-. Or build them even bigger and faster and what not, there...
not necessarily. how much still is under water and not visible. cabins for employees,stores,machinery and the likes are all under the waterline, and of course so are the ballast tanks.@@aquarius8k56
Nothing was said about electric power generation. The azipods & bow-thrusters certainly have minutely controllable electric motors, so I'm guessing that the "main engines" are actually enormous AC generators which supply everything on-board. 64,000 kw (approx 85,120 hp) is a boat-load of electron-motion.
bro that is such a tiny amount. You cause more destruction to the world than that. Of course I hate cruises, but I come from a long line a mariners,and love the ocean, and big ships.
If they are going to compline about the air. why should they get buy with polluting the ocean?? I guess coming from a long line of floaters. you don't really care about the water you float in.@@goodbyemr.anderson5065

Yeah you would think with all the problems in airports and aircraft ( Boeing). You would think this might be a great opportunity for a limited comeback for the actual ocean liner. Not as time efficient as air travel but a lot more 😎 relaxing
Great documentary! I particularly appreciate the lack of the classic dumbed-down BBC narration which must include at least two of the following words in EVERY dam sentence...enormous, vast, monumental, tremendous, prodigious, huge, unimaginable, gigantic, colossal, gargantuan, immense, mammoth, staggering, humongous, astronomic, stupendous, massive, titanic, cavernous, whopping, overwhelming, herculean, monstrous, behemoth, etc, etc, etc...
A cruise ship is not an ocean liner, although a liner can do cruises. Most steam engines were riveted and the Eiffel Tower was certainly riveted, not welded. One wonders how much this documentary maker knows about engineering.
11:43 Numerous locks along the Kiel Canal means just 2: One in Holtenau in the Kieler fjord and the other in Brunsbuttel, giving access to the river Elbe and the North Sea.
28:00 Why stress a small part of a deck with 250 tonnes of preload? Once the jacks are removed, the rest of the ship will stress that length of weld continuously, and dynamic loads will add to the stress. Much better to use one of the many gap filling techniques and avoid stressing the ship before it's done anything.
Yes, an 18 deck high, 75 meter wide, 400 metre long ship with many outdoor areas, constant cleaning and constant clean air conditioning is clearly more of a Petri dish & is far worse than being on a steel tube for 11 hours with 230 others coughing & sneezing . Well done.
It just fascinates how man and machine tassel out hard and long to produce such a huge thing, but it takes mother nature just a few moments to wipe out. Amazing world indeed.
The person who made this video needs to learn the difference between an ocean liner and a cruise ship. If you don’t know the basics then your video is useless.
The shipyard, one of the largest builders of cruise ships in the world, has been in financial difficulties since the corona crisis. Initially this was due to a lack of orders, but the order portfolio is now filling up nicely again. This is partly due to a large order from the American Disney, which has ordered four cruise ships.
They're basically the same ship, built in the same shipyard using the same tech. The only differences are cosmetics to tailor Iona to the british market
So many wrong statements, in this video, example the TV studio. Most cruise lines have a TV studio of some sort, as they broadcast shows etc. To the cabins the next day, you can't watch every show, on the ship.
Its a cruise ship, not an ocean liner. There are big differences between an ocean liner and a cruise ship. Currently there is only one ocean liner in service the QM2 built for Cunard.
That's not an ocean liner, but a cruise ship. The difference is that cruise ships are floating resorts, while ocean liners are transport modes, like the Titanic
IT IS NOT an "ocean liner", IT IS a "cruise ship".... this video is interesting, but please, do not confuse people by wrong terminology, especially in documentary content. The ocean liner is a transporter to cross an ocean as fast as possible (and in luxury) on a regular schedule, whereas the cruise ship is a floating amusement park that is able to move on its own, very slowly to let passengers spend as much time on board to enjoy attractions as possible. The only operative ocean liner in the world is currently the RMS Queen Mary 2 of Cunard line and she is literally one-of-a-kind.
The QM2 isn't much faster than a regular cruise ship, only around 6 knots. Also, it doesn't have a regular schedule of crossings, it's all over the place between regular cruises and transatlantics

@@rlk3490 I was thinking ocean liners are faster and sturdier but your answer is better.
Amazing process. I had no idea the separate sections could actually float prior to final assembly.
WOW.... how they do this is amazing !.. I've been working on my shop lights for years and still have not finishedand I have only a dozen of those.
what?
Stop being lazy.
Iam a seaman for 14 yrs never saw this type of ship using LNG fuel amazing technology
Incredibly impressive to get all of this done in wuch a short amount of time!
Very entertaining.

How these things don’t tear apart at the seams is astounding.
The welds are stronger than the metal. It won't be at the seams it breaks, if it does.
thats insane how they weld a whole half ship section to another .... just think of the number of precision welds... :o

Man continues to build the world 🌍 for everyone else to live in it till women forget who and how it’s built.
Let's keep designing and building these ships taller and taller
funny,one never sees the people whose farms are on the Ems River and pastures are regularly flooded when one of those big ships is being towed out into the sea.

Liberty ships during WW2 were built piecemeal like this. First ships took 230 days, last ships in 42 days.

They ruined the look with the eyes and mouth painted on. It's just weird looking.
44:02 that cruise ship actually ultimately belongs to Carnival Corporation which is a US company because they are the owners of Costa Crociere S.p.A
"this then needs to be shipped to Oosenlooken in Flukjendokle near east Vagrespoogendepop"
cool
So they worry about polluting the air, but then turn around and dump a bunch of oil in the water from the slides. 10:37

Well said , a fundamental error in the title ! Happens too often . There are too many cruise ships anyway.

That ain’t an ocean liner that’s a cruise ship
You couldn't build a ship like this in the US for less than 3Bil. Union labor and material costs would suffocate the budget.
Good old physical labor you ain't gonna find that in USA 😂
Realy I like this video so so much
I’m always amazed how a simple construction project can be made exciting. But this show didn’t accomplish the goal.
A floating resort built around a compressed bomb.
Hate to break it to you but those tanks are literally everywhere and are A LOT safer than the gas lines inside your house
