An awesome project, reminded me why I retired out of heavy oil engineering after 42 years at it. One day you say to yourself 'enough' time to let the young guys take over.
Because it's very repetitive. Most of the time is spent showing how to fit the ship or the midsection into the dock and nothing about what really happens inside
I've been on the Peter Pan a lot of times during my job as a truckdriver (12years long 4times a week). Still the best ship I have been on. Good food and service.
I have been there too. Very nice ship om my mind too. 20 years of international driving from Finland. And like known Finland is an island. The only way to western is by boat.
The entire video goes like this: 'There is no sugar for the tea. THIS PUTS THE ENTIRE OPERATION IN JEOPARDY! Teams scramble to find the sugar, as time is running out. Now they're out of cookies. This is a disaster!'
...why "not many shipping yards will the capability..."....????? To your information is that ferry (26391 gross ton) one the smaller ones that is in international traffic in Europe. ....so what about all the others much bigger ferries all over Europe....???? You don't need to go further than to Kiel to see the largest car ferry in the world Color Magic 75156 gross ton ....and it's sister ship of Color Fantasy ...who both goes to Oslo. There are many yards around in Europe that has the capability to do that kind of work. It is the price and time available on a yard that determines who will do the job.
Never pressure the workers with time restraints so they can do 100% quality work, I'm guessing these projects always go beyond the specified completion date.
It is the ship yard themselves who determine if they are able to do the job and if they can do the job within the time frame that is described in the bidding project. It is a hard international competition for such projects. If the work done by the yard is not finish within the contract date they have to pay a daily heavy fine....
The only stunning here are that you seem so clueless.... The extension of the ship is nothing exceptional or new....it's a common thing to do in the industry.
imagine religious ppl b like "God bless these people" - like wtf, extreme engineering, years of education, experience, development but noo.. God willingly this happened wkwkwkwwkwkwk
when looking at what Stena Europe went through. First her build, then adding the decks with cabins on top, then removing and now her current state. 40 years old and still in service...
Hoppas det blev lite investerat i köket. Det har vart samma skitmat hos chaufförerna i typ 25 år. Exakt samma meny. Koken måste vara jättestolt över sitt jobb. Båten är så sliten, hytternas bäddar är helt slut. Hoppas på en renovering där också. Och och hoppas stor del av personalen fick gå på charmkurs under renoveringen....
The time constraint angle is being murdered. Tight schedule, time is at a premium, this might mean a delay, working all hours, the program is critical, a breakdown would mean disaster, we have found a problem, we're playing the waiting game... children may die! It's the same as any other project and the job gets done. These narrators hype everything to blazes. It's nonsense. Been there. Done that. Got the teeshirt.
its because those narrators are inexperienced in the field they are posting about and for what ever reason seem to think every move angle "or other" is extreme.. because they themselves have never seen such a thing. lol although normal, in most working industries... far from extreme..
This is what I enjoy most about braindead shows like. tow truckers or whatever it's called. dude towing a tractor up a ditch and the narrator is like "if this wire snaps, it could sling across and cut everyone in half. like, bitch, that wire can withhold like 120 tons. unless that tractor had the engine size of a cruise ship and you're tugging a mountain you'll be good.
pfft, you seriously need to get up to date, the new standard is African white rhino and orca whales for weight and measurements... such a frenchie for wanting "MeTrIc..."
Whatever do you mean…football fields and A380s are the gold standard of measurements. African Rhinos and Orcas are the old measurements when ships were made of wood. With time, things have to change buddy.
Love the documentary ... absolutely loathe the over-dramatization of the narrative. It could sink ! The whole project could fail !...yada yada yada. Keep it real folks. This is a complicated project and things will happen. The engineers deal with these as they occur and correct as necessary. The narrative cheapens the presentation.
@@sjefhendrickx2257 .. the narrator does not write the script. He reads off what was given to him by the script writers, and approved by the producers. What country he is from therefore has nothing to do with it.
*The real deal here is the Engine Department when the sea trial comes, as an Engineer this is our nightmare. Knowing the fault and errors of all the machines and tuning it all. After all of that we clean.*
I know there is a lot of money involved. But im sick of the constant mentions about the time constraints. I know its important but if they are a couple of hours late for the start of the mega pit stop. Does it get cancelled and the captain sacked. And everyone shot. Just a rant but it's very annoying.
I work on a project that was planned by the management to be ready in 6 months originally and they even claimed that not one but two products will be developed at the same time. After 6 moths it became clear that even the basic preparation work wouldn't be finished on time let alone to start the work on the essential parts. Do you know when was that? 2017 So they hired even external contractors and one manager woman even told them to work in their pauses non-stop. Then I got involved. The project is still going on. From what I know the final product should roll on in 2021-23... I don't know exactly. I have the feeling that these unrealistic time constraints are for managers to win bonuses and/or to pressure the workers.
David Sewell well as some of the people commenting here I agree that sometimes its just plain impossible planning done by “Academics” who keeps insisting it should be doable because it works on their computer models and on paper! Then when the actual experts the people who actually build the projects gets the plan’s, they will have to come back and explain to the bosses, that this plan is impossible to implement in reality! Often because “Academics” in their programs and on paper doesn’t take 50% of actual parameters that occurs and impacts the project in reality! I’ve seen it so often, and often the “Academics” have a high education and zero experience they are often regarded as superior than the actual experts! But there are also the fact that when a company bid on a contract and they say that they can do it in let’s say 90 days, then the buyer plan accordingly into their own schedule and sell to their customers! If your promised product or service isn’t done by those 90 days. Then there are paid Compensation for every single day/hour until the product is delivered! And its not a small amount of money we are talking about! Just an example. I used to work for gate gourmet “Air plane food” If the food wasn’t delivered and onboard on the time that was agreed. It would costs the company around 2000USD pr. Minute it was delayed! maximum delay time possible 6 min. 15K in compensation for the airline And the plane would take off. So if you promise something in a certain time then you have to deliver at that time even if you have to hire workers to work nighttime to do it because crossing that deadline will costs you significantly more!
@@Zingam youre not working on the NHS are you lol. Sounds like typical management yeah yeah we can do this in 6 months. Actual reality proves them wrong time and time again
With respect sir . We are talking about contracts with penalty clauses . With ships there is no such thing as a couple of hours . If you miss the tide then it's twelve . If you can only enter port on a neap tide then it's a fortnight . In order to save money the job is limited so that the ship can return to work before the losses start adding up . Also the floating dock costs are prohibitive and probably prebooked so time limited
Why the dramatic whacko music? No one came here for music or dancing. Narrative is better. Why the football field unit of measurement? Why not swimming pool or hockey rink? Just give dimensions in yards or meters. Excellent presentation otherwise.
They never cut this ship open. it was all CGI just to make a documentary. The ship is just as it was before. I have a friend who works on the ship. He sent pics showing its still the same.
Very good but this isn’t new. They were adding second car decks and lengthening Dover Calais car ferries in the late 1980’s. Some in Bremerhaven, some in Italy.
The standard rectangle shape of the new section does not seem to be the same as that shown in orange at about 41:30. Not sure how the kickback part is added?
Good doco, i always like how they make everything dramatic. The way these documentaries are scripted and tense music is added😅.. they can put people on the edge by just explaining how a mouse farts 💨 .. [tense music]..Mouse will have to fart in 10secs or it will miss its deadline. The mouse is 1/1000 of the football field and in a critical position...any excess pressure the mouse will pop its eyes out. After lots of preparation and low margin of error, the mouse places itself in farting position... [music intensifies]..It is time for the first attempt. Oh no! mouse cant lift its one leg, its stuck in the tar. [nail biting music and close-up]. .. mouse pushes hard and manages to lift the othet leg and poof 💨. Success! The mega pit-stop has been sucessful. The mouse lives another day to come back and do this all over again later.
Given how many times they are having to call in the welder to patch things up doesn't really look good or fill you with confidence for the rest of the project. However, they have successfully managed to do what it is they set out to do which is quite incredible when you think about everything that was required to be done and the timescale.
Shame the didn't show more internal footage of the new sections and how it was verses how it is now, usual America media all about fake drama rather than actual informative information.
One technical questions as it's modified biger then why not upgrade the engine as mentioned more loading capacity of car then why engine is not change or upgrade
From 11:46 to 11:50 in the video, Poor Peter Pan got his left hand and 1 finger cut away from his boday on both side of the Gigantic Car Ferry Ship and Peter Pan is still Smiling in a lot of Pan on his missing left hand and 1 finger on both side of the Gigantic Car Ferry Ship. :( :(
