Europe's Biggest Port: The Port of Rotterdam | Giant Hubs | Episode 2 | Free Documentary
Giant Hubs Episode 2: The Port of Rotterdam: Europe's biggest port and gateway to the world.
The Port of Rotterdam is among the largest logistics centers in the world. With a handling capacity of about one million three hundred thousand tons - per day!
Punctuality is the definitive factor for success at Europe's largest port. More than 180,000 people work in the port area and help to keep this logistical masterpiece safe - and operating on time. From maritime pilots and terminal operators to coast guards. Everyone follows a carefully synced and always tight schedule.
Every year, more than 130,000 ships call at Europe's largest seaport. Container ships, inland ships and cruise ships. A total of 350 a day.
With 140 million tons of container goods entering the port each year, "unwanted" cargo also gets through. Europol estimates that half of all cocaine circulating in Europe is smuggled through Rotterdam. Suspicious containers are a case for customs. 650 officers are on duty in the Port of Rotterdam every day.
The biggest port in Europe is also one of the most innovative in the world. The operator ECT opened the world's first automated terminal here all the way back in 1993. The 100 automated vehicles are the secret of this terminal's success. They were invented in Rotterdam, and are now gaining ground at more and more ports around the world. They save on personnel costs - and time.
The Universe of the port of Rotterdam: A giant hub, bigger than the island of Manhattan. Get an exclusive look behind the curtain and learn what it takes to keep it running on time.

Wow, the peak physical fitness of The pilot climbing the ladder is unbelievable! Martin
I know that this is supposed to be a joke but he also did say that climbing a 9 meter long ladder with HIGH WINDS and HIGH WAVES is tough and that's why you need to be in good condition.
I went to Rotterdam several times 20-odd years ago and it was massive, I was standing on the top deck of a north sea ferry and there was docks as far as the eye could see, and beyond! Miles and miles of them. I bet it's even bigger now.
True
Ferry to Britain?
yes it is, Im asuming you last went there early 2000''s, and since then they've added the 2nd 'maasvlakte', for more and bigger container ships, and its almost all empty, no one works there, only machines and some dozen or so mechanics and contracotrs.
@@skittlyscooter1779 Actually I last went there in early 95. And a year later I also went to Zeebrugge which at the time was also being expanded with new railway sidings.
@@majorpygge-phartt2643 yeah since then the maasvlakte 2 has been made, atleast some of it, there still have to be some terminals afded for containers, but more impressive is that they are going to try and make it all automated, making the port of rotterdam not the biggest, but alot more efficient. Only the crane operators and the truck loaders have to be replaced ik pretty sure
My 92 year old Dad was born in Rotterdam. The last time I visited him in Holland Christian Homes in Brampton, Ontario, Canada we both enjoyed watching this documentary very much. Thank You!
I was a passenger on an 800 TEU feeder last year. Captain had a pilot's license for both Rotterdam and Hull - excellent at his job and a great guy, too!
As a drug lord, I appreciate the insight. I will make sure that my next deliveries are vaccume sealed to an "extreme", as Free Documentary would put it themselves.
thank you for you considerations
yes....time-saving dog routines are your best friend!!

Sadly, like most American documentaries, the translation used in the voice over is simplified to an extreme and the action dramatised.
But the docu is not made in USA. Its the dubbing that is sooooo bad, OMG 🙄
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Zeke Wilson Instablaster :)
@Salvatore Luis I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Salvatore Luis It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out !
I visited with my class and never saw an industrial port in my life because I live Paris and it was very cool !
Thank god I grew up in Rotterdam,what a childhood and what a city.Number 1 city
Thanks for the upload, I know this will be a great documentary as usual !
Educational documentary. Max and the other sniffer dog super heroes🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
proud to be working in port of rotterdam!
En wij Nederlanders zijn natuurlijk ook trots op onze Rotterdamse haven met zijn Rotterdamse bikkels! Groetjes uit Utrecht Adriaan.
@@ronnie9187 haha kom ook uit prov Utrecht 😂
@@kanarie93 haha. Dan koop je je overhemden natuurlijk daar, met de mouwen al opgestroopt, voor je werk! Zo zie je maar: wij Utrechters worden in ieder geval nog getolereerd in Rotterdam. Voor Amsterdammers ziet dat er anders uit...
I feel proud as a Dutch that this is a Giant hub that works so well :)
Same for Port of Antwerp, Hamburg
Great documentary, enjoyable and interesting, really enjoy it.
Let me just say this: These men are Absolutely trustworthy, the most serious & dedicated of humans you can find on this planet. Truly impressive. As a Dutchy, I can read those faces & instantly know the "iron they are forged from" and it's good, real good.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear a Dutchman speak highly of his people. You’re the smartest people on the planet. That way you chaps turned up and cleared up the crisis in The Suez Canal. You made everyone else look like rank amateurs. Hupakee - problem solved with absolutely no hint of self-congratulation. Super impressive.
awesome. i love port of rotterdam. i hope to go there again soon
Great ! Many thanks
Hoop schade is niet "I am glad we found the leak"...It means "Lot's of damage"
Fix it with flex tape
Lees je reactie nog eens Remco
Niels Rooiman lol
Truly mind blowing!!
We are very proud of it😜
Great seaport functionality 👍
Fantastic video. Makes me wonder how much innovation is happening in the ports of America or are we still doing it "the way we always have".
The Dutch to English almost feels like you're on school and as a Dutch child get's a lesson in English with a headphone on. It feels so weird.
If they couldn't mention that man's last name for security reasons, they seriously should have blurred out his face as well.
in the interests of safety , they should have at least put a bag over his head - it might have improved the translations.
too much work for them apparently
I agree with you on this one, brilliant idea!
Great
Thoroughly enjoyed it. "Off the shelf" type documentary however great education awareness stuff and a worthwhile watch for other ports in further flung global regions looking for better or more effective tips on how to do things more efficiently.
The translation from Dutch to English is very bad.
It's doable but not that accurate.
In the episode about Japan Shinjuku train station, the translation from Japanese to English is also bad. Don't think that ppl don't understand Japanese please!
It isn't a direct translation. But it gets the message across just fine.
16 minutes into the documentary, and I have no clue what you're talking about. The translation is fine.
natuurlijk

Logistics is the lifeblood of everything.
from Embu county Kenya
I hope to work here someday or even at least just simply tour the whole port. It is definitely a world away from where I'm working now.
Hope you do too. I think you will. 😀
I hope you like big loud fog horns then, there'll be plenty there all day, and night...
@@majorpygge-phartt2643 It's alright
Great❤️
When my grandma grew up from 0-7 she lived an hour away from here so I think that’s cool
Since we are talking about the quality of production here, it's same to assume that the voiceover is robotised (not the interview translation). If you listen up closely you can really hear it. The program used here is probably a lot more sufficient than free analogs, but still noticeable.
What software/program is it, I cant hear it
@@DonHrvato I understand Dutch, it was a reasonable translation where the Dutch was audible.
Hello from Baku (Azerbaijan )
The American version of these documentaries (they're made for different markets around the world) seem not only to be written for 13-year-olds but written by 13-year-olds. All the translations are wrong and they use terms like catastrophic, terrible, immense, etc., every time they can, even if what's been shown has none of those characteristics. Way to emphasize American stereotypes.
@Warrior Son True, but the Netherlands are not much better. The average Dutch knows nothing about geography.
@@luxembourger says who, a Luxembourger?
@@rickt151 Yes. At least born there, lived in several countries.
luxembourger umm where I get that from that’s not true
@@luxembourger Very true, as is this is true for every country I know in the world. Its a mechanism I think. Most people tend to be nationalistic in a way, see the world from their own country perspective. It helps if you travel a lot or if you live in other countries. You will even look at your own country with a different perspective is my experience. In Holland we complain that Americans don't now much about Europe, but when you turn around the question and ask yourselves what do we now about the US ( Or Asia, or Latin America) then we know also very little, myself included. Funny is that most people don't look into the mirror. How much Europeans now all the US states and their capitals ? We should not judge others if we don't judge ourselves first.
Very interesting video, thank you, because I'm working on a container truck in Maasvlakte, 👍
That gaming mouse @ 8:34 is a good one. I wonder what games they play on that mtriple monitor setup.
Thanks for this, Can you kindly do the same about Durban, Mombasa, Port Said, Harcourt or any of these in Africa
This channel does not produce these documentaries. They simply upload pirated videos.
@@sleeptyper they actually produce these videos. Look at their main page info.
@@YPO6 No they don't. Do they pirate these, i can not say 100% sure but produce they do not. Look at 48:06 Also on that very information page: "With the latest camera equipment used by well-known filmmakers working for famous production studios."
Yes, that would be a fascinating comparison.
09:34 So basically parallel parking a massive ship. Such skill!
You don’t literally park it. The tug boats push it in. It’s not too hard.
Great documentary. I wish North America would catch up to this sort of system???
I really like this documentary. 💯💯💯
😍😍
in top physical shape. looking to see him climb to the top deck of ship... hits a ladder with 7 steps. i changed channel
try doing it mid winter with snow, ice, dark, 5m waves, etc
Steve Haigh but there wasn’t and it would still be relatively easy for anyone able to walk unaided! Martin
great combination on man and AI!
the cubic crane///...
I would watch your latest video but it's not available in my country but this one is for some reason...

dont forget the 2 metric tones of coke and indca / sativa
just two?
30:40 whats that under
25:10 looks like he is just playing
Anyone fancy going for a pint and talking about ships?
👍🦅
1,3 million tons a day!
I import goods and my shipments have been on the Santa Clara numerous times! What are the odds? 😂
Did you climb up the ladder too?
if i had this job id just play with max all day
love how at 8:30 the voiceover tried to fake a dutch accent
It’s a very difficult accent. Harder to master than actual Dutch.
круто.
@47:48 180 thousand people? uhhhhhhhhh more like 1 thousand??
7:43 thru 8:52 Marijuana has been legal over there since ... i don't know... a while back... They all seems so relax......
Sad days, it always has been my dream to become crane operator, seeing how everything is getting automated hurts me lot.
Thats what you get when there are not enough ppl that want an can work there. For a port this big there are simpely not enough ppl. Its not "getting " automated, it is made automated from the start
Oh - there will be countries that find it cheaper to employ operatives than pay to modernise for some time yet. Frankly. I think you’re mad, it looks terrifying, but not as terrifying as the diving. 😬
@@Threemore650 the problem in Rotterdam is that they cant find enough people that will work there. So, this is the only solution to make the port productive.
@@larsmeijerink5471 Dutch people are generally very competent and solution oriented, and they make it look easy. ‘Restless perfectionists’ I’ve heard said of them. But in third world countries, just the corruption levels hold them back. That, nepotism and a willingness to treat their populations like slave workers. It’s not a lack of talent and plenty are intelligent enough. You just can’t get this level of efficiency when you have 85% corruption and an exhausted, underpaid workforce. The world would benefit from being a bit more Dutch 😄.
@@Threemore650 i am Dutch so i guess i cant say to much about that even if i would like to think "we" are pretty good at what we are doing. I can agree on the part of corruption, that it will never work in a favor. I dont say the world needs to get Dutch but, i do think some countries could learn some things from us. But not just third world countries, also other countries in Europe and Amarica. Some countries have their priority different. (like "we" have almost no army but do have technology that the whole world uses) it's all aboit priorities. A other good example is that we are really direct and say what we think. In other countries is being nice and polite is worth more then being honest. We say what we thing whether you like it or not😅 sometimes even look rude to others. Idk if that really is a good thing but it definitely helped us a lot.
The port workers here are three times the population of my country. That's one of biggest and fastest port in the world, that's just opinion.
That is in that nederlands
Now I understand why Holland has so much drugs
Its not even holland that is bad, its brabant

What's going on ?? I just got two email notifications from you. Europe's Biggest Port: The Port of Rotterdam | Giant Hubs | Episode... and World's Most Dangerous Flights | Pilot Error | Free Documentary I was able to watch the one about Rotterdam - just liked I've watched several other videos that you've put out. All of them have been excellent videos. So, some time ago, I subscribed - so I wouldn't miss any of your future videos. I've just clicked on to the second video, about Dangerous Flights, and got a blank screen with a message saying it's not to be viewed in my country. So, what's going on ? I'm in the UK. You say FREE documentary etc, and I agree with your sentiments. But are you now trying to censor what I can watch ? I'm an adult, aged 76, in a wheelchair. Do you think I'm going to become somehow dangerous to society if I watch the video ? I would really appreciate you sending me a new notification email so I can watch the video
Dear sir or madam, I do not work for discovery at all but I may give you an explanation of why certain videos can't be watched in certain areas. It has to do with certain rights to the material which are given per geographical area or country. One of the television channels may still have the rights to this episode by contract, and thus they can not share it for free on youtube in your area. Have a nice day!
The automation seems to have worked great. Unfortunately many people must have lost their jobs.
Thats not true. They made it automatic bc there are no ppl enough to work there. So without automation the port woyld be half the size bc there are not enough ppl. Not even a single job is lost but it did make some more jobs
Jacob knows where to get them bricks by the bakers dozen..
Interesting but only problem with RAMLAB in real world is the loss of human jobs, we create technology for automation but what happens to the people who loose there jobs and the real knowledge..... I am a fence sitter i would love to see some company go we removed automation and employed 1000 people instead
This has happened ever since the 19th century and it has never led to catastrofe.
Why isn't this video available in the U.S.? Seems kinda weird.
@Tobby Isiba No, I'm pretty sure the uploaders made it unavailable in the U.S. Unless you are from America?
i work around the whole region every day :D, chemical/ natural oils it doesn't matter
"They've done it" really? Fuck sakes...the ship docks it self with all computers and navigation....
OMG! Look at these handsome, masculine, hard-workers Dutch men! They're incredible! So much testosterone in this port! They're so professional, accurate, responsible, and passionate. I'd marry them all!
Organised chaos.
010 isnt just a code, ROTTERDAM : STRONGER THROUGH STRUGGLE!!
HELLO!! I from indonesia
The dog sniffing is weird. Why not just pump the air out with the dog beside you at the container and clear it right away rather than collecting jars and a big contraption to hold the jars in a special room.. they both found the placed cocaine smell jar but then stops..didn't smell them all just stops when find placed jar??
Cool documentary - thanks a lot. BTW: If you want to bring in problematic cargo into Europe - no problem - just use Italian ports, they are more flexible over there :-((
KingDom Khmer👍yes😍🙏KingDom🙏😊🙏😘Cambodia😞🙏😊🙏
I'm disappointed, my question remain unanswered : What's the size of the port in football fields units ?
Yayaya123, if I did my maths correct. The port should be about 23,668 football fields. (1 football field = 1.32 acres (American football field! No soccer field!). 12,643 Hectares = 31,241.533 acres. 31,241.533/1.32 = 23,667.828.) (NOTE: these are American decimal points! (US), = (EU). & (US). = (EU), )
No jumbo jet or olympic swimming pool units?
why is it voiced over in english and not just subtitled only, now you have to listen to two audio tracks at the same time, shame really, very annoying
casper kuijl murica
they cant read fast enough.
I wonder what these guys are really saying.
Realised that Rotterdam's port is ~18% the size of (1:48) and about as long (2:06) as the country of Singapore, which handles even more maritime cargo
Singapore doesn't need to distribute all over the continent. No dry materials just a container harbor that's real easy to manage. And of course the harber works well it's a Dutch design.
@@markknoop6283 After the Suez Canal incident, no one had better claim superiority over Dutch maritime competence.

Why don't they bring the ship in a dry dock so one can really see what sort of work must be done.?

13.7 million containers per year and 15 samples on the sniffer carousel. Perhaps the very definition of a lost cause.
