Gigantic Wind Park Relocation | Mega Transports | Free Documentary

A wind park needs to get from Europe to Asia. Over two thousand tons of highly sensitive and valuable cargo. On one of the world’s largest heavy lift vessels.
The team has only 37 days for loading in two ports and travelling once around half of the globe. To be able to transport the entire cargo, the crew even has to build another level altogether - in the middle of the deck.
It’ll be an ongoing battle for five straight weeks. Against time. And against weather.
The load: Five gigantic nacelles, each as heavy as a Boeing 747 and nine 75-meter-long blades. All these wind park components have been specially designed to fit together - and can only be replaced with a huge effort. Any damage to the cladding or the electronics could delay construction of the whole wind park project by months.
The loading process is extremely complicate and has been developed especially for this transport! So no one has any experience with it. The crew has to trust the plans of the engineers. And they don’t have ANY margin of error. Just a couple centimeters too far to the left or right would mean: everything out again.
A project never before undertaken - anywhere in the world. And no one knows if the risky plan will prove successful in the end.
A mega transport in the superlative. Over two thousand two hundred tons of cargo on three levels. Below deck, on deck, and above deck.

I have been working on a harbour here in norway dischardring parts for over 150 wind-turbines (thats over 2000 havy lifts), actualy a couple of the tims it was ships from SAL. It`s a bit of over dramatisation in this documentary, but looks impressive and is a fun job!!

[@vejet]

19:54 Catastrophic? Pffft! I nearly spit out my drink. Catastrophic would be if the load smashed into the ship and it sunk as a result. I swear these documentaries never cease to amaze me with the lengths they go to stir up and create drama where there is none.

@@kevinm3751 It's all about who has the rights. If, for example, Netflix or the BritBox has exclusive streaming rights to North America (I'm in the USA), it will be blocked in my country.

[@Quibjeb]

Chris Wilson iv been told it’s used when they are put up too Because of how heavy they are it takes so much energy to get the first turn in is a lot of times wind can’t do it but once it starts turning the wind can keep it turning and it will quickly generate back to the power of lost from initiating to start

[@ontheroadwithrichierich3086]

The receiving end of this shipment has millions and millions of dollars invested in workers, machinery and transportation to get these things on site and operational. It's not something that they just call you when it shows up and everything and everyone is in the right place. Day long delays can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[@joed3786]

@@ontheroadwithrichierich3086 , The Best thing they did was to call off the lift when the winds got bad. A schedule delay may cost in time.... But Look at the COST of an injured Human Being. Check the OSHA Internet upload of the Milwaukee Crane Incident, Try to tell a family their family member is injured or not coming home. Why because the schedule had to be met. Factor that against mere money. Think of the Fact that Medical Science still cannot repair a Human Being to 100% after an accident even with those Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars.

[@chevtruck1000]

I've long thought that safety inspectors, engineers and schedule planners should have a minimum 5 years of actual in field work experience before they can come up with their ideas. Safety needs to be realistic Engineers need to understand maintenance requirements and Planners seem to forget that the real world is much different than their paper one.

Green Energy, haha, giant ships spewing smoke, mills spewing smoke making the generators etc etc etc, and not to mention, there had to be another ship for the missing 6 blades.

[@freedomring4813]

Exactly

[@MrSatyre1]

To say nothing of the fact that they don't last long, cost waaaaay more over time in maintenance and replacement than conventional power sources, don't generate anywhere near as much power per dollar/euro compared to conventional energy sources, and are totally dependent on the same driving force (wind) that can destroy them. No wind? No power? Wind not strong enough? Not enough power.

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

@@MrSatyre1 Exactly, not to mention the environmental impact to birds and the sonic impact on other animals as well as humans. Like all green energy, it is great and has a place, it just needs more development and not to be shoved down our throats. If all the money that has been spent on subsidies to build wind and solar had been put into researching and improving green energy, we would be decades ahead!!!!

[@Sny734]

What was the reason that they had the end hub that the blades bolt to turning slow for the whole trip

[@nathanwahl9224]

It's on a jacking gear. Almost all large turbines and generators have them. Since the middle is so heavy it can cause the shaft to sag after a while. So you keep it turning to avoid the sagging. If you bring it up to speed with a sag, it is very off balance and could destroy itself.
