Secrets Of The Marie Maersk Container Ship | Richard Hammond’s Big 

"It's 1/4 mile long" I have an idea for a Grand Tour episode...

When I become a billionaire (yeah right) Instead of buying a yacht in Monaco. I’m going to buy one of these, and park it in Monaco, just to annoy everyone

"Non-stop" doesn't seem that probable right now

I'm a history teacher. Can't explain it and I feel super weird, but when he stood next to the propeller with just that thick steel wall between them - I choked up and got emotional. Something hit a chord inside. The progress of humanity, the need and hunt for more. It's not all good, but it's astonishing.

2:22 Absolutely astounding.

My regards to Capt Ole onboard marie maersk. Best Captain i've ever met and worked with😇🙏🏻👍

I've seen this in the English Channel quite a few times. It's hard to miss.

That plant in Germany is essentially a foundry which is still popular here in UK, having worked at few last 10 years, that guy grinding/fettling via machine will be on a very good wage. You cant pick up anyone to do it especially for the work they do, if I had to guess he is minimum but probably more on £20 per hour I used to get around £14 and mine was by hand grinders, for not such magnitude of work, precision for him to do it is very good tbh where even people by hand would struggle.

I cannot believe that the crew let him wear that scarf while on board, especially in the bloody ENGINE ROOM with all sorts of things turning around that it could get caught in, did they want you to possibly be DE- CAPPATATED..? Stupid lads,, bloody stupid....!Otherwise we'll done...

Richard Hammond : I'll apply for a propeller grinder Company : Your resume is an example of your work on scrap metal Scrap Metal :

Somehow him walking around these giant moving engine parts with a freakin scarf around his neck makes me nervous 😅

This was fantastic!!

Fact... In 1972, the Danish shipping company - the East Asiatic Company (EAC) - had 2 sister container ships (M/S Jutlandia and M/S Selandia) built by Burmeister&Wain in Copenhagen. They were fitted with not 1...not 2...but 3!! main engines - 1ea. 12cyl centre engine w 840mm bore, and 2ea 9cyl wing engines w 840mm bore for a total of 72000bhp and a cruising speed of over 30knots and burning 150t of fuel per 24hrs. These 2 vessels were purchased by the USN, refurbed, and converted to transport vessels in the 90s. In approx 1990 Maersk Line had a series of container ships built at their own yard in Funen (Fyn), Denmark which had just 1 engine developing 72000bhp, burning just 50t of fuel per 24hrs with a cruising speed of approx 25knots.

"If I fell in there I would simply cease to exist"

I saw it once when it was leaving the Constanta Port on the Black sea in Romania while i was at the beach. amazing

Joe the sailor is a TikTok creator who works on the ship. He was the one who took Hammond into the hold

I've dealt with so many o those containers in False Pass, Akutan, and Dutch Harbor...That boat is pretty cool!! Never seen it...

"It's the world's biggest tickling stick" 😂😂😂

9:10 both propellers are rotating in opposite directions. How come the orientation of the blades in both propellers are the same? is this a mistake in the animation?

We should remember this cargo ship biggest polluter.

Damnnwho owns these fortresses on seas.i mean it is a genius idea to save so much of money importing things in needfor people who don't have access to it.respect for logistics people

HAMMOND!

Shipping wars: Maersk: bet you couldn't do a u-turn in the Suez Canal.... Evergreen: hold my beer 🍻

Richard : 1/4 of a mile Vin Diesel: drag his charger here

Excellent 🥰🌹👌

see’s that Evergreen meme RU-vid: So you like ships, huh?

Damn bruh Imagine taking it to the era of Vasco De gama or Columbus.

Imagine if it was Hammond driving the ship and got it stuck at the Suez Canal. Jeremy Clarkson: "Hammond you idiot!"

I wonder how long it would take one human to go through all of the containers looking around for stuff

Wow

Well that ending felt really abrupt lol. Very interesting though.

The factory just makes me think: far overrrr the misty mountains collddddd 😂

Why has Richard Hammond side shows always got "Richard Hammond's" in the title?

Imagine holding a car event inside that ship ...

Dude sounds like Keith Moon.

So this is what happen I'm the Suez, Hammond crashed that ship! 😆

I just wanted to see what happened in the Suez canal, but I'm not complaining.

Who is here after Suez Canal Incident🚢🚢

What amazes me is that these ships travelling at say 60 KM/hour, are still involved in collisions. Glad they are not pilots.

*Whats the point of them wearing safety hats when it will not save them if a container drops on their head.*

Actually an Australian solved the cavitation problem.

Whaaaa

Clarkson said; “ the smallest creature in the biggest.”

I always found Richard Hammond a great host for shows like this. He always gets the emotion and sense of it all trough the screen.

At least it didn’t get stuck in the Suez Canal

Who's watching this after hearing about the suez canal ship container stuck

Well, that was an abrupt ending.

Never before has someone so small been in something so big.

Just because a ship stuck, now everybody is marine people 🤜🤛

Finally a video that helps my brain grasp how large these ships are and how it’s possible to fit 18,000 thousand containers

I like how they have to wear a hard hat, like that will stop a shipping container.

I'm gonna be working aboard one of these monsters soon

For the rest of the world a 1/4 of a mile is roughly 400 metres

I was watching stuff about the Evergreen's ship and this poped out in my recommendations

I load containers like that often at my job and where I work, we cram each one full of product...Ours typically weigh over 40,000 pounds each...FYI, they're not fun to load...That ship is incredible to be able to carry that much cargo...Really cool seeing how these products go all over the world.

Hard hat for safety? Listen, if one of those containers falls on you, that hard hat is wearing YOU for safety

I wonder how many people are hidden in 20k containers

Was Hammond driving the Ever Given last week?

Is that you Hugh Jackman?

*Me: Clicked on 1 Suez Canal video* *RU-vid: You must now watch every Suez Canal video!*

next time the driver of the ship shouldn’t listen to teriyaki boys

In 1991 when i worked for P&OCL the kowloon bay container ship which i worked on carried 3000 containers and she was big for her day, she'd probably fit inside this behemoth

5:56 Hammond: If I fell in there, I would simply cease to exist Thanos: I like him

Weird, this insanely huge ship's official home port is the tiny, ancient fishing village I grew up in near Copenhagen..I knew the name of the ship before, but not it's home port...the text "Dragør" on the ship is larger than the village itself lol - well maybe not quite :D But I doubt "Marie" can sail within even 50 miles of it's home port, certainly docking there would be absolutely impossible...

I wasn't to finish it where it abruptly finished. Such a well made video I was hoping it would go on and on

i like ships now according to youtube

fun fact, shipping line ships like this is by far the PEAK efficiency in terms of general costs, followed by electric trains and public transports

Request:Secrets Of The Madison Maersk Container Ship.

Until they get stuck

this video is "Reeeeeaaallly" amazing

"that's proper maritime stuff" I felt that in my core 🤣🤣🤣

surprisingly the hmm algeciras class is even bigger and heavier than this. Contains a whooping 23,964 containers.a madness Update : ever ace 24k teu 😐

More of this plsss

I don’t care about the propeller. What do want to know is who makes the actual beast of a ship??? Where and who makes that gigantic ship

I'm so glad I found this channel. These videos are amazing.

Seing Maersk representing a small country like Denmark in such a grand scale, makes me reflect on the words that author, Hans Christian Andersen wrote in his song from 1850, "in Denmark i am born". "Once you were the lord of the entire North. Conquered England - Now you're being called weak; A little country and then again so widely around earth, the song and the chisel of the Danes is still heard."

The comfortable voyage pharmacodynamically mate because turkish developmentally precede around a macho hovercraft. uninterested, ill-informed gander

2:27 imagine hearing Clarkson shouting "HAMMONDDDD!!!" inside that empty chamber

Alt title: a small man trying to be big by being in a big boat

I want to play Genecis Band's music(Genesis - I Know What I Like), he'll love it very much.

Huh... that was really, really interesting, and Hammond is a good presenter. It reminds me why Top Gear was so successful - all three of those guys are just great to watch.

Those bubbles forces are very interesting, how to control & manage them in the right direction ? Excellent article, thanks !

The propeller's production looks like the potion factory in Shrek.

"comments have been disabled for this video"

am i the only one who saw Hugh Jackman in thumbnail?

that propeller is a work of art...my god...and the way he explains it was awesome

The wolverines stay up for 5 days in a row eat on the fifth day bathe wit cold h 2 owears a jacket in summer and no jacket in winter what do you know about this sweety

You gotta admit, as hardcore as the Germans are at pumping that big industry muscle, somehow the brits get to show it off anyway. That’s the trend I’m getting watching Richard.

I live in Key West and every time I run offshore we cross paths with these ships they are massive, definitely a site to see.

Anyone else's video freeze at 0:45?

Ive seen it all when i was working in ASRY..Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard in Bahrain..Really amazing human inventions..Our customers are Oil tankers, Cargo ships, Etc. I love seeing them when they are in dry dock..looking at all.their expensive propellers and Rudders..!!

This ship along with most of the largest LNG ships in the world, are built by Korea...

Made in Germany 🇩🇪 😊 👌

3 things on my mind while seeing container ship : - Ever Given - Madagascar - Modern Warfare

THATS ONE BIG BOAT! I hope one of these doesn't get stuck somehow that would be terrible

But my company can be the next Purple Shipping Lines

I would love to board one of these big ships, sadly here New York and New Jersey cannot accommodate such super ultra size ships.

He was supposed to make a follow up video with the Ever Given, but unfortunately, he beached it in the Suez Canal.

If Hammond wasn’t the height of a gnome, the ship would be 4 stories tall.

I'm rarely impressed by being impressed. This is one of those rare occasions.
