- Building the offshore construction vessel Island Constructor at Ulstein Verft, 2008. The length of this video, and the music used in it, reflects the original purpose of this film which was to show it to the guests at the naming ceremony of this vessel. ulstein.com/re...
Hello, I had the great pleasure of working on Polar Onyx on your 1st contract. I was the Radio Operator of this Ship in Brazilian waters. I can say that throughout my Career I waited for a moment like this and he arrived with the "Onyx". Today I miss you so much, I miss all those who worked with me at that time, but I can tell you that I have never forgotten the "Onyx", There is not a single day that I do not think of being back on your bridge, proud to be a part contract. Wherever you are "Onyx" goes my hug to the unforgettable Ship of the 7 seas that Ulsten and her engineers have created.
If this was a series with a video for each ship Ulstein made I'd watch them all a dozen times
Building the superstructure in sections on dry land and then assembling them at the last moment has revolutionized shipbuilding. You no longer have to tie up the dock for long periods of time.
Why so luxurius ? To do the best for custumers and employee of the service companies.
To keep her in best condition for years. Good installation is the first step for a good team spirit, the best safety and also for the success of operations
In the past, I spent months on shame installations.
Congratulations Ulstein!
An old Oilman.
so many bosses fail to realize that when employees have a good work environment and are happy, they're much more likely to do a good job, be prideful, make you happy, which makes them happy, do extra, produce more, feel good about it, make you more money, make more money themselblahblah. have had several bosses think that yelling at people would make them work harder and want to help them out. seems all that is good for is high turnover and undertrained employees- doing a crappy job, making customers angry, losing customers, business makes less money, can't afford to pay anybody worth a damn, has crappier employees, loses customeblahblah.. glad to see this company doing it right.
your already paying a couple million for the boat, a couple extra thousand in floors and furniture aint nothing
...great editing .............. A beautiful Island Constructor on video well done.
Good lord, is that a working ship, or just a gigantic house boat?! I would LOVE to work on such a vessel, especially with that X-bow design. Beautiful work, guys!
we spend half of our lives onboard these ships. these "luxury items" mean alot to the people who live there
She's pretty. Congrats to everyone who operate and build her
This thing is nicer than most cruise ships.
Yeah... I was looking at those interior shots and thinking 'this IS a working ship, right? and not some peculiar passenger vessel?'
XD
Not that there's anything wrong with the crew facilities being nice, it's just...
Not what you think of when it comes to a ship like this...
magnifique !!👏👏👍
Great to see that conditions on board for the Crew's whose temporary home this is are to a high standard.
Everyone aboard this vessel is a professional in their own right whom will be working hard irrespective of the sea state and weather conditions, so to have given considerable forethought to their living conditions and environment will make their lives and work better.
Investing in one's people is a great strategy because they are your greatest asset, and happy, well fed, well rested people perform better!
Vessels such as this mark a great step forward both in marine design and offshore living standards.
Very well done!
Still amazed every time I see a ship being put together like a giant jigsaw puzzle...
Or, to use a different example, the way a lego model is put together is very similar too. (just less welding. XD)
You build a whole heap of sub-assemblies, then attach them together...
Kinda crazy to think that what applies at the miniature scale kind of still applies at life-size scale...
That ship's livery really looks like something from video game.
Marvellous
Lovely กราบสาธุเจ้าค่ะ
X-Bow wow how now high prow. Nice interior to experience motion sickness in.
LOL! If you’ve ever been on a cruise, after a few days your body adjusts and you are fine. These vessels are for long exploration, or are “working” vessels. Once accustomed to the sea it’s more about providing space for the crew to live their lives while working (stuck) on the ship. I’ve never spent more than three weeks at sea at a time, on a regular basis. All I know is you grow antsy, irritated, unhappy, bored after a while. You’re there to do a job and you are still human. You need distractions. This ship looks great to me, LOL!
Desde que conocí la resistencia de ésos barcos quedé fascinado
Pretty cool cruise ship
Very good idea
O OCV é uma das maravilhas do mundo,Sou apaixonado por ele,sempre vejo o vídeo de sua construção,vejo como o nascimento de um filho,frauda por frauda, tão lindo e sofisticado, moderno,é poderoso cortando tempestades dos oceanos,no entanto nas águas calmas do planeta,ele navega como um patinho,o patinho feio,por ser lindo e vaidoso ele responde aos adeusinhos das gaivotas ,andorinhas ,pelicanos,papagaios ,causando ciúmes nos golfinhos,baleias,peixes normais e voadores.
Cuidem bem dele,pois ele não passa de um bêbê.
thank's
...from the mother of all coasts...
Only , one thing bothers me is the helipad , one really big wave and it’s gone
Here is an article dating back to 2018, which might interest you: ulstein.com/news/island-constructor-10-years
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you⛰🏞
i can only guess the purpose of this ship , island constructor ...hmmm . i wonder how it is done but then again this short video was primerally focused on the interior of the ship , the luxury , the bridge but nothing about how it works ...
George, here is more about this vessel: ulstein.com/references/island-constructor
Amazing she is beautiful. I'd like to know the name of the instrumental played in the video.
Hi Kim, the music in this video has been produced for Ulstein for use in our videos. We sometimes refer to it as 'the Ulstein hymn'.
Hello Ulstein . I concur with Kim Mohabir . Beautiful vessel being featured . The Ulstein Hymn is very soulful and beautiful as well .Similar to old sea chanties . Can a CD of it be purchased ?Understand if it is proprietary and not available to the public .
Thanks, Allen. You are correct, this music is not for sale, but very glad you like it!
Hello Ulstein representatives . Thanks very much for your kind response . It is very understandable that the U. Hymn is not available for purchase . That simply gives me a great reason to view the video a few more times and enjoy the music . Wishing Ulstein continued and greater success .Cheers from east coast USA.
Nice!!!!!!
and this is like Denmark or Norway, yet America cant build 10 ocean-going vessels a year to save its life
Show !
Yea can she handle the north Atlantic or the cape?
The vessel has been working for many years in the North Sea, both on the Norwegian sector as well as the British sector. The vessel has been working for a multitude of companies performing various tasks since her delivery.
bodewes groot in scheepsbouw in nieuwerkerk Oudewater Hasselt Meppel en Groningen
Quien es el autor de el tema, o donde poder buscarlo. Gracias.
Ullstein: "La música de este video ha sido producida para Ulstein para usarla en nuestros videos. A veces nos referimos a él como "el himno de Ulstein"."
Are the walls of their dry dock just bare rock? It doesn't look concrete
Hi James, it is a combination, but most of the inner part (the roofed area) of the dry dock at Ulstein Verft is bare rock, you can see various photos on our web page here: ulstein.com/shipbuilding/yard-facilities
@@Ulstein-Group thanks for the response! Hadn't seen this until I came back to revisit this video!
Love how soundtrack can ruin interesting clip.
Muy bueno el video, pero me gustó mucho más el tema musical. Si pudieran pasarme el video original sería fabuloso. Gracias.
Lovely 16 JANUARY 2019
@kosakee 🎎🏞🏕🏖🇦🇱🇧🇪🇧🇫
Muy lindo diseño
Looks top-heavy in some of the video, probably just camera angle..........
Music?
O tema da música ficou top!
Gostei muito desse vídeo, mas gostei muito também foi dessa trilha ao fundo. Quem souber o nome da música por favor, pode me falar?
Hi Francisco: At Ulstein, we call this song the 'Ulstein hymn'. It was originally composed particularly for the delivery of the first -BOW vessel, the Bourbon Orca.
@@Ulstein-GroupOk, fico muito agradecido pela atenção.
@@Ulstein-Group where could I find this great song? it is so amazing
@@user-zd5xt1pm5h Hi, yes we love this tune too, it was made particularly for Ulstein by a local musician on the occasion of the opening of our dock hall at Ulstein Verft in 2002. Internally, we call it the 'Ulstein hymn', and it still gives us goosebumps!
Incrível!
why do you need such interior on working ship?
The ship is the crews' home away from home. Therefore, the shipowner chose to provide the best of interiors for their crew.
Hoping i could be part of the team who build this kind of beautiful work of art someday. Congrats Ulstein
You heard the expression a happy wife happy life well the same goes here a happy employee is a productive employee
I like
beautiful ship, but it’s a shame that it’s powered by a stinking Diesel engine that takes away from the beauty outside. Still waiting for the EV equivalent.
Ok
M. M 🤔
Beautiful ship but I was of the opinion that it was going to be a work ship and I noticed there was many millions of dollars spent on luxuries items that perhaps could have gone to a greater cause
Ball Busta there are people working on that ship, you know, people.
As far as my own limited naval experience goes so far, people typically muster on ships for 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, and continue this way of life until they eventually quit. That means half their time is spent on a ship, so might as well make it as livable as possible.
Ball Busta What Better cars could there be to keep your employees happy and comfortable the more content the employee is and happy the more productive he is why not make it that way
The music for this video is the worst music ever heard. it sounds like choral or religious music.... for a boat that looks like a floating office space
boring music
