I always found Richard Hammond a great host for shows like this. He always gets the emotion and sense of it all trough the screen.
He 2 serious
you just too sensitive
he does an excellent job! Putting into words the exact same things i imagine i would be feeling and thinking to experience all of this :)
and he makes big things look even bigger
"It's 1/4 mile long" I have an idea for a Grand Tour episode...
Are you thinking what i am thinking?
drag race.
@@mealien0808 they should do a drag race on the ship, would be awesome
@@ganjafi59 last time they went fast on a ship it didn’t go well...
@@carwashgaming3727 Are thinking about connecting all the bridges together and adding a multistorey rollercoaster in the middle and driving through it with karts?
At least it didn’t get stuck in the Suez Canal
With Richards track record? Good luck!
Lol
too soon lol
@@halzan7467 hhhhhhhhhhh
No more Suez jokes please.
That ship has sailed!
Finally a video that helps my brain grasp how large these ships are and how it’s possible to fit 18,000 thousand containers
some ships nowadays can carry even more, golden class can carry 20 thousand like the Ever Given that was stuck at the canal, and some of the latest ones over 23,000 containers
it doesn't fit 18'000 of these containers. it only fits 9'000. it's 18'000 of the 20 foot containers that it could fit. but the ones typically used on these ships and are visible on the picture are 40 foot. so half as many as they claim when saying "18'000 of THESE containers" while pointing at 40 foot containers. they could just as much say it fits 50 million containers while pointing at the 40 foot containers, actually speaking about tupperware plastic containers. but they want it to appear as large as possible so actual facts don't mean a lot to them.
Sorry to mess with you head even more but 23 x 24 x 21 = 11 592 :/
they also cheated there. these are the numbers of the widest, highest and longest point of the ship. but depending on where on the ship the containers are (i. e. the front of the ship being more narrow, the ship's hull being higher towards its center or some parts of the ship being occupied by structures) many rows of containers never reach this height, width or length. the figures they use are just for dramatic effect. the video doesn't have any educational value. it's for entertainment just as all other videos of the series.
@@AaduSimm you are incorrect, because that is now 40 foot containers you are talking about. so you miss doubling it, minus the living quarters, engine etc.
"Non-stop" doesn't seem that probable right now
Lol
Actually, going the long way around would have been more non-stop work. Fortunately, they dug out the ever given with its single propeller and unfortunate accidents. The ship behind her was a smaller Maersk vessel.
Never before has someone so small been in something so big.
That's what she said
Ffs you beat me
@@akash2853
Heck why am I always too late with those jokes 🤔🤔
Not since you had sex for the first time.
Not true. My ex has a new bloke. Nuff said.
When I become a billionaire (yeah right) Instead of buying a yacht in Monaco. I’m going to buy one of these, and park it in Monaco, just to annoy everyone
Me to :-) Mine will be pink or yellow ! Just to be annoying :-)
@@Medionxtr I live in Southampton and right now in the docks there’s a huge ONE bright pink container ship
@@Simon-Zephyr Damm. Then I have to go for yellow !
Till then
When I’am become a billionaire after covid then your ship will be the tender so actually you will be docked in my hull..🤣🤣🙂
Well, that was an abrupt ending.
Yeah right, that's rude ending. Any idea to watch the hole episode
Didn’t see that coming tbh
@@saadjouhari motortrend on demand has it
I'm gonna be working aboard one of these monsters soon
how much do they pay u
Really want to know this answer
Hope it's not for a Chinese company
Congrats!
How do you go about getting a job like this??
I load containers like that often at my job and where I work, we cram each one full of product...Ours typically weigh over 40,000 pounds each...FYI, they're not fun to load...That ship is incredible to be able to carry that much cargo...Really cool seeing how these products go all over the world.
Wow
I've unloaded them they're a pain. I got smart and became a truck driver now I haul them every once in awhile
ruclips.net/user/shortsZiswUh9-bJo?feature=share
here's how the vehicles are stuffed into the container
Who's watching this after hearing about the suez canal ship container stuck
@Malta Aircraft Spotting they're actually the same size lol the Ever Given is actually 1 whole meter longer than this one
I love the internet
I'm, the U.N should have rules to govern ship size for container ships.
What if the gülsün MSC got stuck
Me
that propeller is a work of art...my god...and the way he explains it was awesome
I'm a history teacher. Can't explain it and I feel super weird, but when he stood next to the propeller with just that thick steel wall between them - I choked up and got emotional. Something hit a chord inside. The progress of humanity, the need and hunt for more. It's not all good, but it's astonishing.
That's pretty soft man. You doing alright?
"Something hit a cord inside" hey teacher it's chord not cord
@@jordanimatedstreaming Sorry, I'm Swedish and my English is far from perfect. I also believe it should have been "struck a chord". But hey, I was in the moment when I commented. Fixed it now however :)
@@Coldbreezed Incredibly soft. I'm fine, but philosophical thinking can get me emotional - apparently. Thank you for caring though.
@@jordanimatedstreaming He wrote it right"chord" read it again if you have good vision
Seing Maersk representing a small country like Denmark in such a grand scale, makes me reflect on the words that author, Hans Christian Andersen wrote in his song from 1850, "in Denmark i am born".
"Once you were the lord of the entire North. Conquered England - Now you're being called weak; A little country and then again so widely around earth, the song and the chisel of the Danes is still heard."
I was watching stuff about the Evergreen's ship and this poped out in my recommendations
Algorithms
The ship says evergreen and given
@@ElloImNoodle
The company is called Evergreen, the ship is called Ever Given. 👍
Yeah
He probably got stuck on it
I wasn't to finish it where it abruptly finished. Such a well made video I was hoping it would go on and on
this video is "Reeeeeaaallly" amazing
Richard Hammond explains like my physics and chemistry teacher, he is the best teacher on the internet
I live in Key West and every time I run offshore we cross paths with these ships they are massive, definitely a site to see.
In 1991 when i worked for P&OCL the kowloon bay container ship which i worked on carried 3000 containers and she was big for her day, she'd probably fit inside this behemoth
I love those propellers. Works of art.
Just because a ship stuck, now everybody is marine people 🤜🤛
People who never saw the sea are now brave sailors. 😃
Um happy alot of people are getting interested in what im interested in
@@ngolokante7805 shut it bobby
@@ngolokante7805 omg your name😂😂😂
For the rest of the world a 1/4 of a mile is roughly 400 metres
Brilliant maths
1320 feet
Hard hat for safety? Listen, if one of those containers falls on you, that hard hat is wearing YOU for safety
😂
Knocking your head off a container
I'm so glad I found this channel. These videos are amazing.
Huh... that was really, really interesting, and Hammond is a good presenter. It reminds me why Top Gear was so successful - all three of those guys are just great to watch.
i like how he didnt actually hit his head at 4:45 but still said ouch lol
I think he said ah because of the giant propeller right next to where he was. And maybe in that room the sound was bigger
Proud to be a part of Maersk
1:27 WOOOW!
fun fact, shipping line ships like this is by far the PEAK efficiency in terms of general costs, followed by electric trains and public transports
Ive seen it all when i was working in ASRY..Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard in Bahrain..Really amazing human inventions..Our customers are Oil tankers, Cargo ships, Etc. I love seeing them when they are in dry dock..looking at all.their expensive propellers and Rudders..!!
I enjoy watching about ships over and over again. Maersk ship business I really enjoy watching and your videos also.
Richard ha scoperto il fantastico mondo dei motori diesel 2 tempi navali, sono dei capolavori. 😊😊
*Me: Clicked on 1 Suez Canal video*
*RUclips: You must now watch every Suez Canal video!*
How is this the Suez Canal?
This was fantastic!!
5:56
Hammond: If I fell in there, I would simply cease to exist
Thanos: I like him
More of this plsss
My shipment is on the Moscow Maersk taking this route right now, pretty cool to see how it all works.
"that's proper maritime stuff" I felt that in my core 🤣🤣🤣
Thank You for Making this
Awesome engineering blows my mind! I love these documentaries. I showed this to my girlfriend and she was yawning and just wanted to have a bath.
2:22 Absolutely astounding.
My regards to Capt Ole onboard marie maersk. Best Captain i've ever met and worked with😇🙏🏻👍
Love that dude`s humor 🤘
These beasts are an engineering feat. All that tonnage...and it floats. Amazing. Stay safe, all who put out to sea. I keep you all in my prayers, from the Navy and Marines, to the merchant seamen and the fishermen around the world. I wish you calm seas and good fortune 🌹⚓
That plant in Germany is essentially a foundry which is still popular here in UK, having worked at few last 10 years, that guy grinding/fettling via machine will be on a very good wage.
You cant pick up anyone to do it especially for the work they do, if I had to guess he is minimum but probably more on £20 per hour I used to get around £14 and mine was by hand grinders, for not such magnitude of work, precision for him to do it is very good tbh where even people by hand would struggle.
Request:Secrets Of The Madison Maersk Container Ship.
But why?
Or any other tripple-E series ship. There's 31 nearly identical ships in the series according to Wikipedia. All designed to go 18 mph to save fuel.
I like this series!
Thanks for interesting programme
i like ships now according to youtube
Extraordinary
wow just amazing
That was excellent !!! :):):)
I'm rarely impressed by being impressed. This is one of those rare occasions.
It is giving very high returns..
Wow this is so cool
I've seen this in the English Channel quite a few times. It's hard to miss.
Whoa now that is a true behemoth of the sea! 🌊🛳️
Remarkable!
That is brilliant.
Amazing stuff. I wonder how many people they have who do inventory control, making sure everything is loaded appropriately for the order it's getting off-loaded in different ports, etc. That must be quite a task. Very enjoyable video. Thanks.
it kinda depends, but there is usually a procedure to follow.
Nowadays someone on land uses a software to plan the cargo ditribution, according to different factors like weight, special conditions (dangerous cargo, perishable cargo, need for ventilation, etc...), unloading port, size (if it is 20 or 40 feet), etc...
Usually the task of approving that plan is from an officer on board, usually Chief Officer. Then both crew and port operators have to work together to load and secure them, for that they follow a document that has the plan of the cargo to load and unload, and go by that document, to make sure everything is there.
Obviously more complicated than saying it, and there is a ton of more documents related to the cargo, but i hope this gives an idea.
I think they have more than one person doing it.
I saw it once when it was leaving the Constanta Port on the Black sea in Romania while i was at the beach. amazing
Those bubbles forces are very interesting, how to control & manage them in the right direction ? Excellent article, thanks !
Cavitation occurs when the pressure is lower than the vapor limit. One way is to increase the submergence of the propeller to increase the hydrostatic head, the other way is to increase the area of the blade and lower the speed of the propeller as pressure and velocity are inversely proportional.
2:27 imagine hearing Clarkson shouting "HAMMONDDDD!!!" inside that empty chamber
Damn that was Really interesting for a big boat
Excellent representation of size, coming from a ship's officer.
i am amazed at how it can float
I've dealt with so many o those containers in False Pass, Akutan, and Dutch Harbor...That boat is pretty cool!! Never seen it...
Proud co-owner of this amazing company. 😊
This is legitimately one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. /srs
In a word? WOW!!!
Anyone here Proud of being danish for this Company???🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
I could’ve watched this for hours
Richard Hammond : I'll apply for a propeller grinder
Company : Your resume is an example of your work on scrap metal
Scrap Metal :
Weird, this insanely huge ship's official home port is the tiny, ancient fishing village I grew up in near Copenhagen..I knew the name of the ship before, but not it's home port...the text "Dragør" on the ship is larger than the village itself lol - well maybe not quite :D But I doubt "Marie" can sail within even 50 miles of it's home port, certainly docking there would be absolutely impossible...
thats completely normal. I mean, there are ships registred in Switzerland, i doubt any of them would go there,.
on the other hand, after 2020, i think i wouldnt be surprised anymore if they started flying there xD
I like how they have to wear a hard hat, like that will stop a shipping container.
It's for not banging your head against the ceiling
@@Burnthesof its a joke
Hahahaha 🤣😂😂
It will stop a 1lb bolt randomly falling from a loose lashing
Something is better than nothing😂
Perfect upload for what happened on that ever given
Wow so cool 🙏👍🇬🇧
Somehow him walking around these giant moving engine parts with a freakin scarf around his neck makes me nervous 😅
Its very hot in the engine room 😂
I want to play Genecis Band's music(Genesis - I Know What I Like), he'll love it very much.
A small country has the great technology, how amazing is it !?
wow it is like a small city
Amazing..newbie here 😍😍😍
Was Hammond driving the Ever Given last week?
HAMMONDDDDDD!
I would love to board one of these big ships, sadly here New York and New Jersey cannot accommodate such super ultra size ships.
They ship container ships from New York to Liverpool
Great content!! Question, is there a crank case that needs its oil changed. Which leads into more questions, like how much, how often and what type oil is used?
I swear with hammond, if something is big he calls it a cathedral.
Ever given 🤦🤦🤦. Amazing video!
Nice video
Holy SHIP! soo huge
My father was part of building these huge ships. He took me out to see her sail out from the shipyard.
I wonder how many people are hidden in 20k containers
A small African country perhaps?
None?
Probably a few hundred
None, they check all the containers
@@ae4042 if you think they check all the containers on that ship at customs then how come there's drugs on every street corner in america
"If I fell in there I would simply cease to exist"
Gotta be one of the cleanest blast furnaces ever
Of course, it's Germany.
They cleaned it for the video.
wow amazing
The last thing with the bubbles on the propeller, I had no idea :o
I’m a big fan of propellers
Excellent 🥰🌹👌
Richard was born to do documentaries 😁
God must be really impressed of what a human can do
Hello dear, how are you doing?
I'll like to know more about you...
Probably the best ship... in the world
