The large vessel is certainly one of the most interesting stories in ship building. I grew up in Bremerhaven, Germany and witnessed many ships from around the world. The Germans have always been top ranked engineers. When a ship this size is built there are all sorts of problems. The video is wonderful. Thanks a million.
I really hate how these programs try to ramp up the drama every 3minutes by telling us over and over about critical deadlines that will cost millions if they don't get it done. I find myself hoping they don't make it.
This area in North eastern Germany has a long shipbuilding and Seafaring history. e.g. Wismar ( one of the places the ship is build) was (and still is) part of the so called "Deutsche Hanse" a coalition of merchants and Citys dominating the baltic Sea for a fairly long time.
Yes, and a retractable roof no less, to facilitate sectional moves. I suspect it gave Aker great gains in productivity - the weather in Baltic Germany is often poor. (Ignoring the loutish comment above)
It sounds like some people would rather work in the bitter cold when you can't feel your fingers and toes, than work in an enclosed dry dock, in construction we say, it's always sunny and 70 when you get to work on an inside job, I spent to many winters freezing my ass off, give me sunny and 70 any day.
It looks so funny seeing the people jumping in the water with a rope around them for safety. It looks like the guy is walking his pet human on a leash. LOL
hot rod daddy in northern Alaska I used a 20ft flat bottom jet boat to break 1/2” + of ice off of a float plane pond after an extremely early freeze while the planes were being defrosted. Used the weight of the bow to crush a channel and then made faster passes with a ton of trim to wake the ice, breaking it further and clearing a channel. You gotta swing with what you got!
it's because it's the same class and pretty much identical. but since this tripe is made for the usdm nobody notices the difference, nor do they give a shit. and imagine the vo trying to pronounce '50 let pobedy'...
One thing is screwing up 50 Years of Victory and Jamal, which in itself is a pretty impressive mistake, but my favorite was that they were showing "nuclear powered icebreakers" 33 minutes in and used a video of a Canadian diesel-powered icebreaker (CCGS John A. Macdonald?) and, of all things, what seems to be the Farley Mowat of Sea Shepherd.
If I'm not mistaken. The front prop sucks the water from under the ice pushing it aft. This leaves a void and, the weight of the ship pushing forward and down, breaks the ice.
TheOtherSteel I think it’s because driving it forwards it has better shape for better speed and fuel when not breaking ice, and drives in reverse to break the ice because the shape in reverse is not so good for speed but it’s good for breaking ice... seems pretty self telling to me no????
Interesting documentary, and a phenomenal vessel, however I was extremely perplexed by some of the figures given. They said that it would "consume 4.5 million man hours", yet they repeatedly said that it was only €120m - that makes no sense whatsoever. Another figure that made no sense was that "there's enough paint to do 12 Golden Gate Bridges", yet later on they said that the paint would fill "600 bathtubs". They can't seriously be suggesting that it would only take 50 bathtubs of paint to do the Golden Gate Bridge. It seemed like they were just making up the figures as they went along, while hoping nobody noticed.
The stern is the heaviest part of the ship; it's where the power is, and it avoids putting the heaviest stress in the middle of the ship, where it is weakest. Also this gives the Captain and crew an excellent view of the ice.
Its to help move the ice from the breaking surface to the sides and rear. So there us more room ti break ice. And these props are very large and very solid
45:30 Imagine tying your car to gate and hitting the throttle for 6 hours, now multiply that by 100. I think that is grossly understated, even if you're driving a top fuel dragster.
120$ million seems like a bargain for a ship this size. I've seen some luxury yachts that are priced around 100$ million and they are less than 100m long... and don't even think about taking it through ice! Seems like the scale of production and the amount of construction hours for a ship this size would be considerably larger than for a luxury yacht only a fraction of the size.
Jesse Custer The finitions are simple, and it's a floating tank with no decorative thrills, and made in good old steel. Even if the azipods and propellers are not cheap the price per kilog is not very high. A luxury yacht spends a lot in luxury items, equipments, furniture, decoration with very expensive materials and a big bill of work hours plus designer's fees, far more than the hull and engines which are no more than 40% of the total price of such a yacht, even if made in aluminum.
Jesse Custer Yeah, seems odd to me. It works out to $3 per lb, assuming Im using the right "ton" unit. +Pablo Ricardo de Tarragon: I haven't got that far in the video yet, but I'm assuming its a diesel/electric. My memory may not be correct, but a ship that size would have probably more than a 10khp drive and those engines and generator/motors are excessively expensive. This isnt something I know a lot about, but for comparison, a new Boeing 737 costs about the same as this ship.
htomerif The weight empty is far less you accounted. The given weight is the displacement with full cargo charge. The diesel electric with azipods are not excessively expensive, as they became rather common on ferries, cruise boats, RORO ships etc...The technology is relatively well mastered (look at KAMEWA in Norway), it's almost series now. The most expensive and consumable part of the transmission must be the stainless steel propellers. Stainless Steel is harder to work than the aluminum bronze generally used on ordinary ships. The hull itself is made in rather common low carbon steel (E24, Corten or similar) as the first things wanted is ductility and weldability with self shielding wire plus carbonic gas MIG and submerged arc welding for the automatic part of the welding operation. You can weld one inch in one pass with such welders. There is no interest in high strength steels as it's plagued with brittleness and fragility of the welds. Bought by 10 thousand metric tons orders, these steels are cheap by kg even pre-painted. The structure is simple, and crude oil doesn't pose any peculiar engineering problem for its tanks, the plumbing is straightforward. Finishing is simple, mainly in a good painting system. You would be surprised if you were on the ship looking closely at the details, how crude it is. It's not complicated, it's big. The most complicated part of such a ship building, it's the design and the engineering. Yachts are expensive because of the finishing and planes are another matter.
Pablo Ricardo de Tarragon I wasn't really aware of how inaccurate the putting together of these things could be. When they welded together the two halves of the ship and said the accuracy had to be "centimeters" I was confused. In an aircraft, an error of centimeters would be catastrophic. When the two halves didn't line up by a handspan or more, I thought they would move on to a more refined alignment process, but nope, just weld it together like that. I didn't know about a lot of what you said, but I did actually know about the propeller. While I was doing research into variable pitch propellers for aircraft, I came across a lot of information by accident on variable pitch propellers for large ships. I didnt know what they were made from though. Aside from corrosion resistance stainless steel seems to me to be an all around unpleasant material to work with.
"they keep their cool better under stress" No the reason they dont have Men running most of the Electric Cranes is the Men are more suited & Skilled and can do multiple function simultaneously, they have a policy of only one motion at a time and the Men were taking too much risk for the Co's comfort by not adhering to their strict policy.
It's always the case, a new project is started and already the timeframe in which it is to be completed is such a struggle it affects the whole thing. You want to know what you get when you put unreasonable timeframes, cutbacks on people and supplies while still trying to run the business, go to your local Walmart and see how it operates, this is the bottom feeder version of the larger scale scenario.
I've worked in the same fab shop for 18 years. We fab smokestacks for power companies, coded vessels, baghouses, furnaces etc. Every aspect of every job that comes through the shop has a cost code from engineering, unloading trucks with steel, cutting, forming fitting details, welding, all the way to loading finished product. If you don't make or beat labor, get ready for an ass chewing. You would think with lives at stake, there would be less worry about time and money and more concern with quality. I understand company owners want to make money and all. We just have to make our licks count as tradesmen and stay safe as possible.
REX here in australia we had just a 302 cleveland ,in america you guys had the boss 302 ,windsor block with cleveland style heads,but ours is just a cleveland with a 3 inch stroke crank and 6 inch rods,we still had the bigger 351 cleveland as well.
If you did build it , I will come ! say one hundred a month; I currently live under a bridge in southern California, but I think a shed would be better- Just like gorge Jefferson I would be moving on up !
And how much did this ship cost !!!!!!!!! Narrative for 5 year olds. "The ships hull is made in pieces and then welded together", who would have thought of that. !!! Clever these Germans.

@33:00 Stating 171 megawatts generated will power 400 homes, ridiculously mis-calculated. That would insinuate the average home consumes 427Kva, the actual meter on a home is more around 10Kva for the average home. Average actual consumption is closer to 164 homes per MW of power generated making the actual statistic 28,000 homes. Only off by a factor of 70 or so.
Not to mention @17:00 costing 120 million and taking 4.5 million man hours would leave a hourly cost of $26.66 assuming the company would like some profit that is closer to $20/Hr. What about material cost that is an lot of steel. Good luck getting electricians/ plumbers/ welders to work for anything less than $25/Hr.
Plus, 'will power 400 american homes.. FOR A MONTH'. Wow, whoever wrote that script clearly has no idea of the difference between power and capacity. Maybe they were on a factor of 30 and thought for the stupid american audience, just say it'll do it for a month, without saying 'powering it for a day and storing the energy in a huge battery could power 400 american homes for a month'..
Actually if you heard the ass hole said American homes. Like American homes are such a huge waist full bunch. My electric bill is like $25 a month so I'm way way under this Bullshits figure!!
The carbon debt created by building these monsters and the global transprotation of crap from one nation to another ... must make the ice breaking a lot easier! Maybe not even necessary.
NUCLEAR POWER'S POLLUTION IS RADIATION , AND WILL BE POLLUTING MORE MANY YEARS EVEN AFTER BEING SCRAPPED . THE RUSSIANS ALREADY HAVE NUCLEAR POWERED ICE BREAKERS , AND INTERESTINGLY CHOSE THIS TYPE .
Both the hull and the propulsion system is designed in Finland. What they did not tell is that the breaker has a system to blow air bubbles under the hull they act as ball bearings between the ice and hull
Everyone of these videos has to be hella over dramatic about everything "even one mishap derails the entire project" "the plans allow no room for error" blah blah blah....
The bollard test is not like attaching your car to a gate, it's like putting it on a rolling road. And hell's yeah my car would do that, she sat at 140 through Germany a few times now
32:35 25,000L of crude oil per hour works out to around 700 tonnes a day. That's like double what the largest container ships in the world consume at full speed. How accurate is this video?
your all welcome for the canadian hull design..ice in the sea does not form flat and consistent, temps vary,salinity of water varies ice bergs and sheet ice breaking up and refreezing creates thicker and thinner as well as different shapes at different angles and depth.
I hate to steal their thunder but the Americans successfully married an ice breaker bow onto a supertanker when oil was originally discovered on the north slope. 40 years ago.
$120 Million seems very inexpensive considering that a 60 foot yacht can cost several million dollars. That's a lot of material transport, logistics, man hour work, powerplant, and steel for $120 million. Must just be the basic floating shell.
Not certain if this is it (it sure looks like the ship), but my mate took a holiday on an icebreaker to the Arctic circle (about 20years ago now)... Pretty mental stuff! =) I mean the big red and black ship at the beginning, though not the one that looks like a cargo/container ship.
I was just to write the same.I was pipe welder in shipyard Fincantieri in Monfalcone,Italy,and protection on work was sometimes overexaggerated,For example,it is understandable that you must use ventilation tube which sucks the fumes out of the ship,but inspectors sometimes wanted those tubes to be used almost in the open.Each welder has its own tube of 80-100mm in diameter and some 20 meters in length which he was lugging from place to place.Not easy,but better that than breathing the fumes.Cheap bastards(those in this documentary).
paulcosley hell factoring in the price they throw out ($120 million) for the ship and says it takes 4.5 million man hours to build... that’s still a low $26.66/ hr labor rate and that before you factor in the cost of any of the steel, shop supplies, paint, etc materials and electricity/power to build it! I’d be surprised if even offer a lunch break.
There's an hour-long vid of this ship or one of its sisters on a summer tourist excursion run to the North Pole. Can't do it in the winter; as tough as these ships are, that's just TOO tough and of course the Arctic is in total darkness then. During winter the ship keeps shipping lanes open; in the summer it earns its keep catering to rich tourists.

Wow a fantastic design , really enjoyed! The vid 🤷♂️
Everything is an icebreaker if you're brave enough.
or know exactly what to say, at an uncomfortably quiet party. Now that is a handy icebreaker.

It mentions several times that the ship breaks ice by going backwards, but never discusses why.

Seems like like a waste not putting in a nuclear power plant into this ship would save immensely on gas costs and wouldn’t pollute the air.
The carbon debt created by building these monsters and the global transprotation of crap from one nation to another ... must make the ice breaking a lot easier! Maybe not even necessary.
NUCLEAR POWER'S POLLUTION IS RADIATION , AND WILL BE POLLUTING MORE MANY YEARS EVEN AFTER BEING SCRAPPED . THE RUSSIANS ALREADY HAVE NUCLEAR POWERED ICE BREAKERS , AND INTERESTINGLY CHOSE THIS TYPE .
Damn me I thought this would teach me a "mega" pick up line
wow what a groundbreaking invention
Ice bergs dead ahead sir! Hold your course, full speed ahead.
Both the hull and the propulsion system is designed in Finland. What they did not tell is that the breaker has a system to blow air bubbles under the hull they act as ball bearings between the ice and hull
at around 20:00, those are plasma cutters, not lasers.
John Pekithinktheyusehighpressurewatercutters.
Its a high temperature oxygen-carbon anode with a gas flame.
You've done a lot of underwater plasma cutting?
@@tomcherry6168 they generally cut thick plate with plasma cutters under water!
They should name it... "Not The Titanic"
oof
This is an amazing engineering.
Indus Valley Civilization wait till you see the biggest ice braker with two nuclear plants built in Russia
TWENty THOUsand TONS!!!! OMG!!! I'm sure glad I was sitting down when I heard THAT!...
AZCaveMan Holy shit I'm dying
I like the way he says it, makes it sound like its actualy a big ship
USA Aircraft Carrier 800 Thous, TONS +
Everyone of these videos has to be hella over dramatic about everything "even one mishap derails the entire project" "the plans allow no room for error" blah blah blah....
You wouldn't want any error in the middle of the ocean in a bigass storm
I like it so fuk off.
BEAUTIFUL WORK !!! QUALITY BUILT !!!! ✌👍!!!
The bollard test is not like attaching your car to a gate, it's like putting it on a rolling road. And hell's yeah my car would do that, she sat at 140 through Germany a few times now
Pretty cool. I forgot I was watching it
The comments are very good to read and understand more about universal knowledge. The video is superb, I believe.
Iceberg, right ahead!
I downloaded this Thank you
what piece of engineering and hard work Amazing work
32:35 25,000L of crude oil per hour works out to around 700 tonnes a day. That's like double what the largest container ships in the world consume at full speed. How accurate is this video?
Maybe because it's very heavy for it's armored hull, a normal petrol ship would already have sunk if it had to pass through that ice.
Probably it would consume this amount of fuel if it would break throu heavy ice all day everyday. But idk.
It was supposed to be nuclear powered like other russian ice breaker
your all welcome for the canadian hull design..ice in the sea does not form flat and consistent, temps vary,salinity of water varies ice bergs and sheet ice breaking up and refreezing creates thicker and thinner as well as different shapes at different angles and depth.
Such power. Amazing
I hate to steal their thunder but the Americans successfully married an ice breaker bow onto a supertanker when oil was originally discovered on the north slope. 40 years ago.
It would be cool to see that cable break at the end of the video.
Not if you were anywhere near it.
$120 Million seems very inexpensive considering that a 60 foot yacht can cost several million dollars. That's a lot of material transport, logistics, man hour work, powerplant, and steel for $120 million. Must just be the basic floating shell.
25:07 Creepy music. Sounds like something for an unsolved mystery. I wonder what it is?
Sick. Amazing video.
So the whole ship is welded at an evenly seamed joint instead of staggering the joint?
Is the Lifeboat at the rear designed to break ice when it is launched from its position high up behind the stern?
Nuclear powered icebreakers is the way to go.
Ya because if it sinks it will only be in the ocean... Right?
@@gymhourfee because there is no gas station way up north..
Phenomenal 👍👍👍
Imagine if the bottle of wine sinks the ship at the end
super video

I wonder how the icebreaker does in 30 ft swells? Do these ships handle really stormy seas well?
Dan R I don't think they ever purposely navigate in heavy seas. They are floated to their assigned area and stay there.
Not certain if this is it (it sure looks like the ship), but my mate took a holiday on an icebreaker to the Arctic circle (about 20years ago now)...
Pretty mental stuff! =)
I mean the big red and black ship at the beginning, though not the one that looks like a cargo/container ship.
For Laser read Plasma torch and the milling machine cuts a weld edge preparation.
Return the ship for a full refund. Wonder why happens if they lose the receipt? Do they just get in store credit?
4-21-17
Tyler Roark maybe return it for a different color?
you do not lose receipt for $200mill toy. ever!
If it is made in canada they will take it out to the ocean and just sink that piece of gartbage.
I guess if they have to refund the Shipyard goes bankrupt, as far as I know the Shipbuilding Industrie in Germany is not sitting on a lot of money.
Lot of money to clear a disappearing problem.
All this money but no respirators in the budget for the welders
I was just to write the same.I was pipe welder in shipyard Fincantieri in Monfalcone,Italy,and protection on work was sometimes overexaggerated,For example,it is understandable that you must use ventilation tube which sucks the fumes out of the ship,but inspectors sometimes wanted those tubes to be used almost in the open.Each welder has its own tube of 80-100mm in diameter and some 20 meters in length which he was lugging from place to place.Not easy,but better that than breathing the fumes.Cheap bastards(those in this documentary).
@@slavensmolcic Germans are much cheaper many ways.
paulcosley hell factoring in the price they throw out ($120 million) for the ship and says it takes 4.5 million man hours to build... that’s still a low $26.66/ hr labor rate and that before you factor in the cost of any of the steel, shop supplies, paint, etc materials and electricity/power to build it! I’d be surprised if even offer a lunch break.
There's an hour-long vid of this ship or one of its sisters on a summer tourist excursion run to the North Pole. Can't do it in the winter; as tough as these ships are, that's just TOO tough and of course the Arctic is in total darkness then. During winter the ship keeps shipping lanes open; in the summer it earns its keep catering to rich tourists.
