All LNG carriers are incredibly complex and impressive ships and the scale cannot be truly appreciated until you sail onboard one. An Arc7 vessel and the Yamal Project in general takes this technology where its really cold and incredibly isolated and all the more impressive to see in person.

It makes me appreciate modern technology. It's crazy to think how far humanity has come in tens of thousands of years.

All first 15th ships LNG ARC 7 for Yamal Project was built in Daewoo Shipyard, Okpo, Geoje Island, South Korea. The system for cargo tanks is GTT NO 96 system NOT Mach III as is presented in video.
It was a huge effort on the part of the site workers to build these beautiful ships. All my respect for all parties. I was there and I'm proud to have participated in the construction of these "beautiful monsters".
You are not even Korean.
Makes sense !
I hate saying this because it sounds racist ; maybe it even is racist, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true :
You really can’t trust those pesky Chinese ( mainland Chinese specifically ) !
I mean you can trust them if you want, but buyer beware !
You will probably be out 10a of 1000s as soon as they find a chance…. And in projects like these out of 10s of millions !!,
Of course, if we are being honest here - the Koreans too are sometimes known to be corrupt, nepotistic, callous, etc.
However, they are saints compared to the Chinese and overall very trustworthy human beings !
I’ve been in an LNG tank on a tanker, they have a weird environment with so many reflective surfaces, it sounds really weird in there.
Accessed via a thin ladder, you have to be ultra careful not to drop anything - even a small scratch on any of that delicate tank lining means panels need to be replaced, and that’s super expensive.
LNG tankers are very cool things to go on if you ever get the chance!
‼️definitely would love to see more videos like this ruclips.net/video/Kbk-ayUxT70/видео.html‼️
@@ThaWildBoiiz Get your spam music out of here.
I understand you can't scratch anything but they just allowed individuals to go inside and walk around , it's so easy to trip up in work boots and cause very little damage, so how does it work , getting around and how big was the inside ?
@@identifyyourself5684 when I went in it was in dry dock so still had rigging too get around without damaging things. That rigging consisted of scaffolding and boarding so far as I could see, but there may have been other stuff but I’m not an engineer, I was a shore based operator visiting one of my ships. With only a small hatch to get in and out of it must’ve taken ages to get all the gear in and out again.
As I understand it, even dropping the smallest of nuts or bolts could scratch the lining and potentially mean having to re rig the scaffold and replace the panel(s) affected.
The tanker I was on had a 155,000 cubic metre capacity between 4 tanks, so each had a loading capacity of around 39,000M3 plus some ullage.
It was very cool, at the time it was one of the most modern tankers of its type, and seemed way more futuristic than the crude and product tankers I was more used to.
I have a tendency to inadvertently break things I’ll take your word for it though
This is gold. Only just found it and I’m hooked. Humorous good info. Yes pls
Congratulations on a brilliant presentation that was both highly educational and awe inspiring as to the immense scale of integration of all the elements it takes to make the LNG production and distribution possible. The mind boggling problem solving of the construction, designing, and building of this juggernaut reminds me of the Apollo program. I had absolutely no idea this existed and am awestruck at the level of achievement. And to do so in one of the most inhospitable climates on Earth!

This is insane. I didn’t know such a massive installation could be possible so far above the arctic circle. Russians are next level in tundra/arctic engineering. They also have steel, sheet metal and pipe plants over in places like Portland because it cost less to get the steel and produce it over here and ship it back to Russia. I used to work for a company who contracted for the company Evraz. The dude who ran it, was meticulous like a Russian mob boss according to my account manager lol. A bit of an eccentric, always has a beautiful young-ish secretary walk with him everywhere making decisions. The plant is massive, similar to Vigor Shipyard in Size.
I worked for Vigor a while back, I liked working for them. Did maintenance on the entire Everett Naval Fleet with them, that was fun. Sometimes lol.
@@TheExplosiveGuy Yea, Vigor is huge. Right now there is that giant Cruise ship chilling on the side, been there on and off for a long time. Think it’s decommissioned from the lockdowns, not cheap to dock but not as expensive as the dry dock. Can you imagine if they started using it as a shelter for the homeless. That would be nuts. Do you live in Portland still? Hope not lol
@@jellymop yeah that would be nuts, but it unfortunately makes too much sense which is why it will never happen lol. And (thank god) I've never lived or worked in Portland lol, I worked for Vigor in Washington, they have another shipyard in the Port of Everrett, but it's nowhere near as big as _Port_ land🤣.

The thing is that all money they make from this facility is very likley going right into financing the Ukraine war so I say this is not the case at all. The plant has an indirect military purpose wich is to finance all bombs and ammunition they use to blow ukranian civilians to pieces! :( This is why so many countries at least here in Europe have boycotted gas from Russia because it directly finances Putins massacre in Ukraine. (and as seen in the beginning of the video Putin was also the mind behind this facility) Sad truth.

Thank you for pointing out that big technological projects like this aren't just because of one country, it takes multiple countries and lots of capital investment to make things like this possible. A lot of people here in the US only look at things on the surface, they don't understand the magnitude and scale required to make ideas/projects like this work.

$27 Billion Dollars to Build, EU pays 60 Billion a month for gas. I see this as an absolute win.
EU is a total joke and they’ve unfortunately put Russia in the powerful position it is in. EU, NATO (especially NATO), and even the US all have a hand in blame for what’s going on in Ukraine right now due to years of diplomatic incompetence, dependence, and weakness.

HIGH FIVE!
Boil-off occurs when the LNG is first filled into the tank. Since the tank is at higher temperature than the liquid, the liquid stats boiling on contact. For ex: putting liquid nitrogen in a container, the nitrogen will keep boiling until the container is at equilibrium temperature as the liquid nitrogen. The same occurs with LNG. And since the gas gets pressurized inside the tank it can be directly injected to the engines for propulsion. Disel engines can run on LNG without any modification.
Very interesting 👌
Normal diesel engines that are in trucks can use only 70% of diesel fuel with 30% of LNG and i would not call this type of fueling "without any modification"...
Everything you said here was bullshit.
The LNG constantly boils off, the tanks aren’t pressurised they’re just insulated, specific dual fuel engines are required not just Diesel engines, and the gas is not directly injected it must be pressurised, heated and more
This is the best video you've done to this point. Very interesting, well presented and just the right amount of humour. 👍👍

i have been on the area of this project and sailed the northren sea route a few mistakes in this video are, that even if its posible to sail whitout, icebreaker asistence in the mid winter time kopleet darkness the presure of the ice shelf can make it imposible to move in that case a nuclear ice breaker as the 50 jears since victory can be needed. another addition the project did go a lot faster due to long periods with less ice so more vessels wher able to move the factorie modules ther faster.

Impressive stuff, but the "on-budget" is surely to be taken with a grain of salt. In dictatorships like China and Russia things that the government is involved with are always "on budget" and "perfect" and "on time" etc.
I work in Marine engineering (mostly related to oil and gas projects).
This is a semi privately funded project. And it has a significant portion of private and foreign investors.
Dictatorial propaganda doesn't work on those investors. If this was a purely public project, it definitely would have been overbudget and delayed.
Even in Russia and China most things are typically overbudget and delayed. Even private projects.
Finishing early, they should have been under budget.
In Russia, corruption is how you grease the gears of bureaucracy. My guess is that a lot of grease was applied to make things go faster.
@@tylerdurden3722 It probably means that they padded the budget to be able to hide bribes, and then people ended up easer to pay off than they thought, or the bribes came from other funds.

I always thought this was just a way for Putin to leverage Europe to become dependent on Russian natural gas then when he takes the rest of Ukrainian all NATO can do is watch. Plus he will probably do it in the winter when Europe needs it the most for extra effect.

Such an amazing super structure!
A truly international cooperation with Russian construction, Chinese manufacturing, French technology and Korean shipbuilding.
If we can have more of these kinds of cooperation, I am hopeful for mankind.
Not for long if it's creating more fossil fuel plants
It works because there is no US involved.
@@Zuconja Ha, I whould say no U.S politicans involved. The average joe works hard, but our greedy politicians barely win their elections........ then their children get promoted to certain high ranking jobs, and seem to now know exactly which stocks to invest in.
@@Jamsheed69 probably because U.S always try to ruin everything for their own political greed!
@@Jamsheed69 you could said that NATO could make war on russia for being next to EU! But if russia kept Ukraine a neutral State, everything could get to normality! And we could say that its Us fault, because it's being introducing corporations to the country, and Ukraine it's rich in minerals, oil and gas! So that's one of the old strategies of the Us, get into a country, make promises, and steal all the resource! Everyone knows that! But they forgot that Ukraine it's russia backyard, and Ukraine as Belarus are countries acting more like a wall between the federation and Nato! Ukraine trying to become part of NATO was an insult to the federation, and to the sing treaties made in the 90' about not to be part part of NATO!
