Gigantic Car Ferry Heavy Maintenance | Mega Pit Stops | Episode 5 | Free Documentary

[@andyrbush]

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.

[@zangerton]

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.

[@SFtruckerWolf]

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.

[@anthonyxuereb792]

It's a simple formula to easily win over your customers, "good food and service" yet how many businesses are blind to it.

[@bobk2966]

How long is the crossing? Do you berth in your truck for rest?

[@alex9621]

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

[@Shipspotting_Vietnam]

Amazing jobs are well planed and done by many engineers and worker !!

[@thecrabpulsar]

Not many shipping yards will have the capability to carry out such jobs. German engineering at its finest!

[@Dan-fo9dk]

...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.

I was wondering how many 'Olympic size swimming pool's' of water this ship displaces and how many equivalent 'London double decker buses' it weighs.

[@Peggyt-jp6mt]

Yup. Wonder if they are talking about the football played all over he world or the American game that involves throwing the ball.

[@mrwest5552]

Super.

[@anthonyxuereb792]

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.

[@Dan-fo9dk]

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 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.

[@hottroddinn]

Glad someone mentioned it. These documentaries can be far better if the narration didn't make everything over dramatic.

[@Take_Flight465]

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..

[@KingSizeBalls1]

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.

[@giuseppebattagliese6424]

I like the modification criterion, but the difficulties I read are strange, I explain: 1) Laser cutting would have guaranteed old quality and experience on how to apply laser cutting. 2) When making such a traumatic cut, an oleo graphic simulation is required that cuts the ship at a precise and predetermined point on the ship's cad. If the cut has to be moved (right or left) to create less damage, this is done in the holographic simulation and then really. And in logic cut on a weak part of the frame, the additional part of the ship must also strengthen the frame as a whole.
