Construction of a Massive Ocean Liner | FD Engineering
Extreme Constructions - Complete Series: • Extreme Constructions ...
In the Meyer Shipyard in Lower Saxony, the world's first natural gas cruise liner is under construction: the AIDAnova. There is room for up to 6,600 passengers, a television broadcast studio and a theater on the 337 meter long ship.
Needless to say, production of the giant ocean liner is a technical and logistical challenge, and comprised of approximately 15 million individual parts.

Fascinating from an engineering point of view, but you wouldn't catch me on a cruise. Being stuck in the middle of an ocean with thousands of people is not my idea of fun. I'd go insane.
Iam a seaman for 14 yrs never saw this type of ship using LNG fuel amazing technology
3:21 "Ships are still built the say way as steam engines in the past, or the Eiffel tower." Sorry, but they were riveted together, not welded like modern ships.
I always mute the sound and put on the CC...Playing King Crimson, Tool or Sabbath on another tab works well with these type videos too..:)
Wouldn't they leak if I was just riveted?
@@josephcalvo2384no. In fact many ocean liners were riveted together. The titanic and her sister ships were all riveted together. The process is actually quite interesting.
@@josephcalvo2384No! ❗ 😊
@@lamontcranston8181 The SS Bremen and Europa were the first welded together hull, as far as ocean liners.
The result of excellent planning and workmanship.
In the end some guy is sandals is going to cut it apart with a torch😂
yes i supose wrecks are pakistans biggest gdp...
Ya, & make like $200
@@kingdommanlegacyministries7769 more like 200,000 its a big industry in pakistan
Damn😂😂
WOW.... how they do this is amazing !.. I've been working on my shop lights for years and still have not finishedand I have only a dozen of those.
what?
Stop being lazy.
Awesome vid - a fantastic work achievement in such a short timespan - would love to have been part of this massive endeavour!
That engine is insane 😂
Human beings are truly amazing
Amazing process. I had no idea the separate sections could actually float prior to final assembly.
This is not an ocean liner, but still very interesting!
its companies like these that may some day build space stations section by section and lifted into space with all the creature comforts.
Holy ship!
That's not an ocean liner, but a cruise ship. The difference is that cruise ships are floating resorts, while ocean liners are transport modes, like the Titanic
Yeah, but remember the Titanic sank so it’s not floating anymore
@@bradolsen8629 So now it's an Ocean Floor Liner.
Pure German workers at it’s best. Amazing.
Liberty ships during WW2 were built piecemeal like this. First ships took 230 days, last ships in 42 days.
Didn't they build one ship in like 36 hours one time?
28:00 Why stress a small part of a deck with 250 tonnes of preload? Once the jacks are removed, the rest of the ship will stress that length of weld continuously, and dynamic loads will add to the stress. Much better to use one of the many gap filling techniques and avoid stressing the ship before it's done anything.
Nothing was said about electric power generation. The azipods & bow-thrusters certainly have minutely controllable electric motors, so I'm guessing that the "main engines" are actually enormous AC generators which supply everything on-board. 64,000 kw (approx 85,120 hp) is a boat-load of electron-motion.
Amazing
Let's keep designing and building these ships taller and taller
funny,one never sees the people whose farms are on the Ems River and pastures are regularly flooded when one of those big ships is being towed out into the sea. Meyer Werft IS the biggest employer there, AND the biggest tax payer, which no one denies. BUT how much bigger can they do it? I think in the end they will have to build a second Meyer downriver. Where they can finish all that can not be done -inland-. Or build them even bigger and faster and what not, there...
the taller ships are,the easier for them to capsize due to being top heavy.
not necessarily. how much still is under water and not visible. cabins for employees,stores,machinery and the likes are all under the waterline, and of course so are the ballast tanks.@@aquarius8k56
I was being sarcastic since it seems engineers need to step back and look at the obvious. @@benediktmorak4409
Yes I know @@aquarius8k56
thats insane how they weld a whole half ship section to another .... just think of the number of precision welds... :o
I always wondered what Boris Becker did in his tennis retirement ... nice.
Welding two sections together😯😯😯😯😯
Very entertaining.
Man continues to build the world 🌍 for everyone else to live in it till women forget who and how it’s built.
Is there a similar documentary for icon of the seas?
Wow!
44:02 that cruise ship actually ultimately belongs to Carnival Corporation which is a US company because they are the owners of Costa Crociere S.p.A
At 6:15 the fuel is referred to as LPG instead of LNG
Yeah you would think with all the problems in airports and aircraft ( Boeing). You would think this might be a great opportunity for a limited comeback for the actual ocean liner. Not as time efficient as air travel but a lot more 😎 relaxing
That’s insane 😮❤️👌it’s like building another PLANET 😳😂
LAST WEEK I WAS ON A SHIP WITH HIGHER SPEC. ALL ROUND. CALLED IONA.
"this then needs to be shipped to Oosenlooken in Flukjendokle near east Vagrespoogendepop" cool
allo ces incroyable quand les homme ce donne la mains ce qu il peuve accomplir ...ces la meme chose pour les geurre ...
Great documentary! I particularly appreciate the lack of the classic dumbed-down BBC narration which must include at least two of the following words in EVERY dam sentence...enormous, vast, monumental, tremendous, prodigious, huge, unimaginable, gigantic, colossal, gargantuan, immense, mammoth, staggering, humongous, astronomic, stupendous, massive, titanic, cavernous, whopping, overwhelming, herculean, monstrous, behemoth, etc, etc, etc...
Yet sense of scale is still measured in soccer fields instead of actual units of measurements
@@ianryan9513 They said the measurements you just can't hear.
Lol😂 they're making the show sensational with those big words.
So many wrong statements, in this video, example the TV studio. Most cruise lines have a TV studio of some sort, as they broadcast shows etc. To the cabins the next day, you can't watch every show, on the ship.
Massive - yes ..... 'ocean liner' - definitely not. Queen Mary 2 is currently the only vessel worthy of that moniker.
11:43 Numerous locks along the Kiel Canal means just 2: One in Holtenau in the Kieler fjord and the other in Brunsbuttel, giving access to the river Elbe and the North Sea.
Let’s hope it never goes the way of the Costa Concordia 🫣
Notice, no mention of war ships build, 2 wars forgotten
Where did it say this was being built ? At least, what do we call that place in English ?
germany.
That's a cruise ship, not an ocean liner. Click bait
YES, AND YOU CAN NAME IT TITANIC 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A floating resort built around a compressed bomb.
C02 is good for the trees
Not an "Ocean Liner". Just another cruise ship. Sad.
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
Well said , a fundamental error in the title ! Happens too often . There are too many cruise ships anyway.
@@NeilTurnbull007 It's not just in the title. The narrator calls the ship a "cruise liner", too. There's no such thing as a "cruise liner".
Please show some gratitude
@@johntillotson4254 What's to be grateful for in _that_ error?
So they worry about polluting the air, but then turn around and dump a bunch of oil in the water from the slides. 10:37
bro that is such a tiny amount. You cause more destruction to the world than that. Of course I hate cruises, but I come from a long line a mariners,and love the ocean, and big ships.
If they are going to compline about the air. why should they get buy with polluting the ocean?? I guess coming from a long line of floaters. you don't really care about the water you float in.@@goodbyemr.anderson5065
If they are going to worry about the air, then why not worry about the water.??I guess coming from a long line if floaters, you really don't care about what kind of water you float in. I'm not an environmentalist by NO Means but if you are going to put restrictions on one thing, Then put it on the rest as well. DONT dump OIL in the ocean then compline about the exhaust of the ship you are building. Tiny amounts add up to BIG amounts. I believe that's called hypocrisy.@@goodbyemr.anderson5065
The background music makes me wanna party.
I would hate to manage this kind of project, all those contractors' subcontractors it is most likely a nightmare and the pressure from the costumer.
The ship in the video is a cruise ship, NOT an ocean liner. The title is wrong.
The big question was how was such a large ship built. Quite simply one nut, bolt, or plate at a time. Kind of like how you eat an elephant one bite at a time.
Man I want this masterpiece to be the first cruise ship I go on.
The problem with this channel is they re-post the same videos over and over!
❤
Is this bigger than Icon of The Seas?
It's a cruise ship, not an ocean liner. There's a difference.
Cruise ship you mean
the eifel tower is riveted not welded, hey?
Actually saw a berth for cruise shipsale. It was $2 million dollars. ( A month)
A cruise ship is not an ocean liner, although a liner can do cruises. Most steam engines were riveted and the Eiffel Tower was certainly riveted, not welded. One wonders how much this documentary maker knows about engineering.
Realy I like this video so so much
I wonder how many blueprints they have?
Six.
@@bayousbambino427😂
IT IS NOT an "ocean liner", IT IS a "cruise ship".... this video is interesting, but please, do not confuse people by wrong terminology, especially in documentary content. The ocean liner is a transporter to cross an ocean as fast as possible (and in luxury) on a regular schedule, whereas the cruise ship is a floating amusement park that is able to move on its own, very slowly to let passengers spend as much time on board to enjoy attractions as possible. The only operative ocean liner in the world is currently the RMS Queen Mary 2 of Cunard line and she is literally one-of-a-kind.
There's no FJORD at Kiel.
The music is annoying.
Sailing ships (No Engines) were more environmentally friendly.
Row boats even more. Why don't you get yourself one.
Lol
This is interesting but dont be fooled thinking its a new upload its a reupload from about 5 years ago.
NO WORD.
I find commercial aircraft more interesting than a floating, steel, petri dish.
Millions of people starving around the world are they spend $1 billion on one ship😢😢😮😮
Why Is a worker standing on top of a ladder with a welding gear in shuch a modern shipyard 12: 16 workers are cheap
21 months would have sufficed
My mothers name was Aida pronounced like this ship.
The person who made this video needs to learn the difference between an ocean liner and a cruise ship. If you don’t know the basics then your video is useless.
soundtrack makes me feel like i took an e
😂
Ahh... Imagine. One day a Starship this massive being assembled for a journey to the rest of the solar system and the stars!
Haha not an ocean liners its a cruise ship
A few more ads might make this a more enjoyable.
😅😅😅
And you call that an ocean liner?
It’s all about time right ? Quick quick 😱 and now all the good cheap labour has left what you gonna do ? Everything has gone back so many years
floating bomb .
Bio hazard
Why does a German documentary have an American narration .
dont know why you had to ruin such an inserting docu with loud background music
Liquid gas has higher carbon emissions than diesel...
Just doesn't have the smoke, or smell of diesel, and thats all that matters to these sheep.
Nuclear power would work better. No combustion.
It is impossible to get 633 days into twenty months and 25 days if the months are continuous. And it is highly unlikely that this shipyard sent out and ordered "Hey, send us over a bunch of modules we can assemble." Shoddy work here.
🤣
There was multiple ship yards involved. Did you not watch the video before you made such a bad comment?
They ruined the look with the eyes and mouth painted on. It's just weird looking.
But no Popeyes pipes…
Please fire the soundtrack guy
You would think that sort of money would be spent on more useful things 👍
Apparently, you've never heard of capitalism.
video totally ruined by the bellend of a soundtrack
Pipe dude was wearing a hat on his hat 15:20
AI voice. Its a bot. Its a computer talking. I swear.
What I appreciate most about these documentaries is the absence of drama like National Geographic likes to introduce. "There's a problem, if it cannot be fixed, it will cost 15 million dollars per day". None of that here, just informative and interesting. Thanks for that
I stopped watching the video once he said natural gas... what stupidity!
You show too many interviews and virtual reality stuff, not the actual labor of the construction of a massive ocean liner. Bad video!!
All that money gone to waste..
Not really since we learned how to build giant things.
To bad you don't have any money, or you could do cool things and not get so jelly. I remember when I was broke, didn't last long thought because I got busy working and creating a better future for myself and family. You should try that, then you won't feel so bad about things you can never have, or even enjoy.
daaaammnnn
Remember while on a cruise ship two men assembled the engine. Lunatic feminist in America would say horrible things about these hardworking men
I sure hope they have a bowling alley.
0:30 oh gawd he's talking like a robot. You're not a TV presenter ffs, talk normally! Outta here already!
