How Do Oil Platforms Get Their Groceries? | Richard Hammond's Big 

It's like watching Michael Scott and darryl from the office

That guy on the ship was down to business

i love how his helmet says “Richard Hammond” its like a gamer tag lol

Richard was kinda sad that he didn't get to do any work on that ship lol

Hammond :"control the oil rig for one day" Oil stocks :"mayday mayday we going down"

"What can I do to help?" "GET OUT OF MY WAY" LOL

Love Damiens response to Richard asking to help, 100% straight up no bs.

The supply vessel was from the Edison Chouest fleet. They call Chouest the Cajun Navy. Biggest company you’ve never heard of. 9 shipyards, 400+ vessels worldwide, family owned and operated. I worked for Chouest for 14 years. Not sure which vessel that was but it was one of the newer ones. Nice vessels. The Dynamic Positioning System is incredible, about 7 computers coordinate the vessels thrusters and main propulsion systems and the vessel will sit in one spot like its sitting on a rock, kinda amazing if you consider the wind is pushing the vessel one direction the waves and current in another. The captain and crew monitor the system only correcting it if needed, which is rarely.

"I just need you to stand outta my way"

“Richard Hammond’s Big” three words I never thought I’d see in the same sentence.

Must be a really interesting job Richard has at the moment, visiting all these incredible engineering projects all over the world

that's what you get for hanging James on his sleeping tent

3:36 Hammond looks like he about to float away any second

5:00 “Some sort of liquid, very important” lol 😂

I like how he says “traditional Louisiana stew”

My son works as a chemist around the world on these platforms. They are the most highly organised and safety conscious environments you can find. I bet they just loved having a film crew on board.. :))

Gotta respect that man he is 100% business. "I just need you to stay out of the way" 😂😂

Large oil rig is easy when you bring pumpkins and an ak

Same with many ocean objects or creatures you see on camera. It's tough to scale how massive these rig platforms truly are without having anything to compare it too!

I'm taking up Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering. This video makes me motivated. When I down I always watch this video to make my self motivated. So thankful that you documented this video :)

I'm going to need you to stand over there. In other words, stay out of my way. 🤣🤣🤣

I meet him on that platform. He’s a really nice guy.

Don’t know how this showed up on recommended, but truly glad it did😂

Richard you were lucky it was a flat calm day; there were not many of them when I worked in the North Sea.

Richard Hammond’s documentaries are an opportunity to learn a lot of things. It is a great learning platform. Keep up the excellent job.

This was in my recommendations realll quick for some reason

I used to work in the oilfield in Carlsbad NM, and Im already having flashbacks!

I've been on a string of watching these Hammond Discovery channel vids

Thanks Sir for your time

I like how one of the essential groceries there are Gatorades

Back when I was on a rig our sewage soil line always got blocked and dried up, we worked out if we diverted a little high pressure crude we never had a clogged or dried sewage soil lines

Love these!

1:04 everyone keep in mind how gigantic that ship is and it is dwarfed by that oil rig

3:00 My dude was a bit too serious

We need hammond type guys on the work. He's so clumsy and happy guy.

My dad worked at Bethlehem Steel in Beaumont, Tx. He went many times to jack up rigs for repair work!!! He could not talk enough about the food on them!!! I think sometimes thats why he went!!!

2:58 - 3:43 Is this a scene off of the office with Michael Scott and Darryl??

Hammond looked absolutely defeated lol.

This show is awesome

The most epic grocery trip in existence

That’s so cool that Diamond Dogs let Hammond have a tour of Mother Base.

Another cool video 👍🏻

Great video!

This is awesome 👏

I work on a drill ship, we get about four of those metal containers every week

I just noticed this vid was just released.

the fact that they went down aboard the PSU didnt make any sense

you can tell this crew has seen previous topgear episodes: "you can stay out of the way" lol

the vessel belongs to Edison Chouest Offshore. i worked for them many years back , outside of the us army it was one of the best jobs i had

not a video we needed, but the video we got

props to the guy cooking the gumbo i couldn’t imagine trying to make a dark roux on that scale

A question I didn't know I needed answered

looks pretty straight forward to me

That looks so fun.Being on the crane thing

3:10 - It's like the scene in "District 9" where Vicus is telling the commander that the soldiers should carry less ammo...

This gives me MSGV mother base memories

How am I just now finding out that the Hamster has his own show!?!?

Speaking of Hygiene.... During this lockdown.

Hey that is my job , deliver provisions on board vessels with a truck , mostly in Rotterdam, Antwerp , Gent , Zeebrugge., and other Ports.

Damien needs a tv show lol

We all really needed to watch those itty bitty almost empty containers being hoisted. In proper high seas that might even be slightly difficult

I love how JP puts on the hair net when he doesent have hair

Guy is a hysterical baby.

Imagine cooking gumbo in a container big enough to have an echo. WOW.

Damien was finna hit him with the meanest uppercut ever

"I'm being sent to help" "please do nothing"

I realy like how this dude stopped stiring whatever that is at 5:41.

somehow, richard would've managed to roll that rig!

1:35 and they strap him in on the basket. Oh thats nice :D

Wow this is cool

Hey Richard next time while you are out on the deck unloading the provisions make sure you wear your safety glasses on. I have been working on offshore rigs wonder why the HSE didn't give you a warning 😝

Nice one Richard :)

I want some of that gumbo!

You know, for an oil rig... they get pretty awesome food on there.

I was on a site where ess was making the food. We figured it stood for eleven shades of slop because that’s what they served us.

And this was done on a calm day. Try it with a 30 + knot wind blowing.

Offshore is my dream work place.

These rigs are so pretty and amazing.

If I had the opportunity to go on one of these I would

I really really miss working at the shipyard

And as someone who has worked offshore in the North Sea i have never found out why the bananas are the first thing to be hoarded once the supply boat has been

There's even a corner shop at sea!

Damm that guy is cold

The delivery man didn’t understand Hammond.

This is like a floating island!

Put Richard Hammond as the STIG on the transport ship! 😱🤣🤪😅👍😎

I love how he acts as if it’s his first time on the crane person carrier, but he obviously used it to get onto the platform 🤣

I still think if they'd replaced David Tennant with Richard Hammond on Doctor Who, nearly no one would have known the difference.

A boat Very interesting video concept though

I cant believe I'm watching dr.who presenting a show about oil rigs!

A safety tether on a Billy Pugh! When did that happen! It was far more entertaining watching Supply Boat operations on Nightshift, January in The North Sea!

Lol, I just delivered groceries to an oil rig yesterday.

Thumbnail: Mike Patton laughs at oil rig

Never saw a basket that nice where I worked.

I will love to work here

5:29 Hammond looks like a tiny little Steven Seagal.

I wish I could have gotten that opportunity

My wife's grandpappi used to say, "you help more by staying out of the way"

Nice video work on the oil rig, the bumbling "personality" I could do without. The deck boss on the supply ship didn't waste any words.

love it
