How 150 Millions $ Container Ships Are Cruelly Tested Before Production
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Fluctus Channel for a new episode on the thorough tests naval architects and engineers undertake to ensure the reliability of container ships. We'll explore these tests from the very early stages of the shipbuilding process to launch and operation, as well as the testing of containers and handling equipment like gantry cranes.

Cruelly tested?? 🤔
I'm wondering too....
Cruelly tested in ...... a pool!!!
I had the same impression
Most gentle test ever 😂
Because these ships have to performed in rough Sea.
I can't imagine designing and building anything so large. Very impressive! 😊😊😊
thx
There's a cool free CAD program called DELFTship if you like that stuff
No problem mate
That’s what she said
Got em
Great video folks, love it. A couple of months we finished our first epoxy grout at a wave machine, it was an absolute privilege to work with that kind of machine.
neat
Sus
Anyone here after what just happened 😂
We all are here 😂
Yup I'm here
Here too
What happened
@@user-mn3xz8rw2na ship in Baltimore, Maryland slammed into the Baltimore bridge causing it to collapse into the river.
Invaluable information for when I own my own shipping company one day. Thank you!
lmao
These ‘Testing’ pools are quite interesting. You can pretty much know how the Sea-Trials will turn out
Wonderful times we live in, very interesting video. Hard to fathom 58 knot speed on a vessel with such a large displacement.
just for perspective, as far as i know, the only places in the world where you're allowed to drive faster than the equivalent of 60kts are the Northern Territory in Australia nd the German Autobahn. i've sailed in 50kt winds and that was brutal. people don't realise how fast that is.
indeed, its really amazing to see the process and ambitious behind it even i know they bad for nature and environment
@@TheKetamineSquideh, it's not really uncommon in the US. 70-75 mph is pretty common on the interstates, Texas gets up to 80-85 mph speed limit. 85 mph is 73 knots. 60 knots is 69 mph.
@@justinlabarge8178 well then, i shall correct my comment.
I’ve seen 80 mph speed limits in AZ too
So what would happen if one were to say... Lose power, and control knocking a giant bridge down? 🤔
I remember as a kid seeing this kind of testing. I wished I had a big pool with a port and boats I could pretend with lol
Well, this aged like milk.
I can’t tell if the script was written by an AI or an 8th grader who just learned about adjectives and is trying to pad the word count of their paper.
6:53 Kim Yo Landa on the right there saying "dunno bout you lads, but I dont think this is the Paintball Centre"
I know its well thought out, calculated and simulated. Can you imagine if your crew mate was like "dont worry bro they tested a toy model of the ship we gucci"
😂🤣😂🤣
Классное видео!
given you have the right knowledge and passion this seems like such an awesome job
The cruel treatment of these ships will really bring a tear to your eye😢
😢😢😢
What do you mean?
@@corax_of_istria 😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@corax_of_istria you just don’t get it👿
😍😳
Testing in wave basin is limited because not all hydrodynamic characteristics are preserved
*“CRUELLY tested”* ??!!????! Poor Container Ships I didn’t realize the testing was so Painful to the Ships!!!! 😂😂😂😂😅😅😂😂😅😂
Didn't you see the massive 2 inches cruel waves!? What about the torsions??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣@@tecnologia.portuaria
Ah, it's a toy boat. - Arthur Morgan, 1899
Thanks algorithm…… 💀💀
IF ONLY THEY TESTED THE SHIPS ABILITY TO NOT DROP THE DAMN CONTAINERS IN ROUGH SEA. LAST WEEK MÆRSK JUST DROPPED 46 CONTAINERS OFF THE COAST OF DENMARK 🤯
Just think which if one of those had human trafficking 😬 But of course they don't care.
2'02" the only suitable clothes should be a godzilla cosplay suit ^^
Is them containers glued? Because I seent thems fall off before in the Oceans.
When you don't know or understand the work, technology, and knowledge that goes into something, it's easy to take it for granted.... Wow, this is amazing, and the scale is mind-blowing... Thank you for the cool vid.
7:50 ... so tnose weird but tough tests are?....
Thank you ❤
Poor container ships. That is very "cruel."
"The designers engineer a perfect design between form and function." Nope it's actually more like 100 % function.
Cruelly tested got me man!
Fantastic video
Are cargo containers designed to sink or float if they go overboard ? Yachts have been sunk hitting floating containers. Think it's an interesting question Obviously they are watertight against waves but could they for safety be made to sink after a period drifting at sea ?
I always thought they sink or float based on what’s inside. Water will leak in and it would sink if it was empty. But it’ll float if it’s a container full of pool noodles for example.
Container Management System, Container Tracking System, Container GPS, Controller,Container Fast Tag,Container RFID for the port of origin& destination.
Great video
I would think you would want to be able to test wind with these experiments at the same time?
this documentations seems so random, like ai generated stuff... and i think it is.
Hope security against pirates attacks, terrorists etc. are also incorporated. 🙏 Also requires innovation 🙏
Wonderfull and super
Once one of these shipping companies find an optimal design for one of these behemoths why not just keep copying that design so they don't have to keep spending tons on more testing and making different designs all the tim
Hello Scott, I am a student studying to design ships just like these. You raise a very good point that gets addressed in several of our classes. So here is my response: 1. Different routes require different design. Some routes you are crossing across oceans or traveling long distances. Some parts of the world have rough seas which pose a threat to the vessel. Others have flat seas and the design can be much more relaxed. 2. Changing emissions requirements. A current driver of new designs is decreasing emissions. Some zones of the world have strict emissions guidelines that the vessels must employ unique solutions to meet. Currently they are able to be met by adding to the existing engine but as we look towards "zero carbon", more advancements will need to be made that will modify current designs significantly. 3. New technologies. As the world continues to advance, manufacturers are able to achieve better precision which can result in increased efficiencies. This means that all that systems inside the ship continue to get better and better. The scale of these vessels means that a 1-2% decrease in fuel and operating costs over the 30 year lifetime adds up.
@@magnus8741nice thanks dude
Does this hurt the ships?
“Crudely” I’ll accept but not “cruelly”
Savage tests, did we have casualties ?
I think all ship builders that build shipping containers ships ought to have a co. Engineering Entity that solely tests new concepts , upgrading existing systems. In the laboratory.
The subject is different and the video is different. Completely unrelated.
I wanna play...i mean work with model container ships in wave pools😂🍻
Yeah, that would be so fun! Umagine full container terminal in that scale with cranes, trains trucks and ships, and all this radio controlled. And im not a kid dreaming of this😁
jonkchere make that junky jingle ;
Tuyệt vời lắm 👍
They test with a toy boat?
Holy Ship!! That's how you take a Ship.
👍. ❤ from. Taxila Pakistan 🇵🇰
forget C2
I suspect that the crane operator job is well paying.
3:40 ayo, why there a chess board on the poopdeck?
Cruelly tested? Tf. They can identify to have feelings now?
Nice
The new Godzilla is a guy in coveralls.
It's a problem; to many containers fall off and pollute the ocean and coast. Just one ship lost 270 of them before a beautiful coast with nature. Some of them contained small plastic beads... good luck with that mess!
Captain Philip sending regards
Cruelly tested ..i think its only a form of speech to get the attention of viewers ...thats only my understanding..
How does the scale model testing work if water doesn't scale down?!
The waves scale down.
Water doesn't scale down but the waves do?! @@OperationPitbull
100t water bag yet my shopping bag rips b4 i get to the car
Implies zero risk tolerance, not implies zero tolerance risk. Who edits these videos?
Why did I think they actually test the full size version( navigating a storm, high winds, 30m waves etc) like they do with airplanes?
and the shoes i ordered in 2012 are still in a shipping container that is now at the bottom of the ocean
Oh man look at how mean they are to those poor poor boats, hopefully they won't have to cope w yrs of ptsd after these memorably scarring trials.
150 Million $ not Millions $.
Everything is cruel until Houthis Yemen join the test 😂
Didn’t think about lithium battery fires ?
Incat社のフェリーは日本でも活躍していますね。 優れた速度とユニークで独特な外観デザインは注目に値します。
Guess they didn't design the Dali as good as they say.
Wow ❤❤
Going to start a containers rights group, this is so cruel.
6:18 Stowage :)
Talking about emissions. If everything was made in their respective countries, there would be no need for so many of these ships. Manufacturing needs to come back to the countries for the people.
وين الترجمه للتقرير الله يرجكم
I bet that tanker carries a lot of CRUDE
9:23 big balls 😂
9:43 Pozdrawiam Gdańsk!
making such ships is really not easy at all
Balancing weights ship tanker sea . Old variants sea ship travel ocean us balancing weights ,,ziroscop ,,360 gradule gravitation
thanks
Why nobody talks about anti pirates design of these ships?
It’s cruel, what are the woke people doing, fight for the cause of boats 😥😂
Hmm, I see, so a really big guy comes and shakes the ship
imagine you can desighn cargos submarine you will avoid weather conditions
Our ships are green because they burn fuel and we tell you they are clean for our inventors
1:50
it is in the UK
Go hawks!
Those models are sick to be honest, the black submarine, i could see that on my living room
Hello
I am working in a shipyard in Japan, building this kind of maga container ship. Actually the technologies and engineering skills are pretty low in this field, and that's why the industry has moved to china and korea. It looks huge and complex, but very low end technology.
"Intric-ly" Is not a word, it's intricately.
don't care, stay mad. Downliked.
@@sl_yy3573lol you're mad at a KZhead comment
I guess the Dali was absent that day.
Good
onu kim sürcek acaba
Cool toy for the kids! Only if they sold it!
More luck than they realize, i walk 5 days a week as deckman and see some mis calculations or poor maintain
Only 150 million?
good
Thoroughly tested
