@@lukepeita5402 The whole thing is based on flawed thinking and an awful lot of guesswork. The maintenance cost ALONE on this sort of build is going to be prohibitive in the long-term, leading to fewer cruise arrangements and a consequent loss of income. Further to all that, it should be remembered that during the post-sail days and the advent of powered vessels, simplicity was regarded as a necessity - one to keep the initial cost down, and two, to keep maintenance outgoings to a minimum; however it's in man's nature to "improve" such machinery to maximise performance, so it's obvious that "tweaking" hardware will eventually lead to failure of some of the more heavily-stressed items in the drive train. In the case of ships, you can multiply those extra costs by fourfold to get anywhere near the potential losses of overstressing ANY aspect of the original specifications of the vessel - so the OBVIOUS inference is to keep everything as simple as possible. "Pushing the envelope" might seem to be an added attraction, but when weighed against the possibilities of overloading / overstressing even minor parts of the ships' inventory could have even bigger ramifications, not only from local upsets among the passengers and crew, but to the good name of the company as a whole. In short, and using the well-worn RN saying, "keep it simple, stupd"!!

I can see that these are well talented guys putting a ship together. And the reason why they go at a steady pace, sticking to a certain rhythm, it gets the ship ready to be delivered to the owner on time. Building a great big ship can be pretty complicated as there are so many safety rules that have been put into place since the sinking of the Titanic. Putting windshield wipers on the ship's bridge is really a boost in safety as it helps the bridge crew see where they are going in the daytime as the onboard radar does that job at night.

[@debabratabanerjee7461]

They have left out a vital part of a cruise ship. The provisioning, storing of provision, retrieving the provision to food processing/catering & distribution to the eateries.

What an astounding feat of engineering. And what is entirely missing from the lovely presentation is the magnitude of consumption. Thank goodness it is 20% more efficient yes. Yet that relative number fails to mention it consumes on the order of 100 kilos of fuel per passenger per day. Thank about that. Each passenger is living in his own car with the engine running at maximum speed 24 hours a day. And the sulfur emission is 8 times worse than what a car is allowed to produce. The stink is so strong that even in a 40 knot wind (70+ kph) designers need to manage the airflow so that passengers don't smell it, it blows away to fall as heavy particulate and acid rain and produce 1/8 of the world's sulfur emissions. While it produces 500,000+ human deaths per year (specifically cruise liner emissions per the WHO), it does partly reflect solar energy and lower global warming.

[@richardstamper5630]

I have had it explained to me several times but I still don't get it - How does an 80,000 ton ship float? I also heard once that a cruise liner running everything can only travel its own length on a gallon of crude oil, it makes you wonder doesn't it...

[@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28]

Simple, really... The ship weighs less than the amount of water it displaces, therefore it floats.

[@jmikronis7376]

@@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28, yep, that’s how it works. If the ship takes on too much weight, it’ll weigh more than the water it displaces and the ship will sink. If the ship were too light, it would sit too high in the water and be too difficult to maneuver.

"Huge pieces of metal had to be cut, and soldered to perfection." There is a huge difference between "soldering" and welding. When non-technical people try to produce a video about a technical topic. I stopped it here.

Yes indeed....my ears pricked up when he stated 'soldered'.....which is something that's done mainly on silicon CHIPS.....not SHIPS........

[@boffeycn]

Quite. I have found most documentaries, news reports etc. about things maritime have similar problems. such as referring to ships as tankers just because they have bunker tanks. I used to take such errors up with producers and publishers but gave up when i was invariably brushed off as a crank or a not-picker. This even extended to reports on vessel groundings and the consequent oil spills and clean ups.

I was on all 4 Disney ship builds. A very dangerous and exciting experience.

[@clayr6264]

Explain more

[@joemalinchalk1314]

If you're living on the ship during the final build it's like being on the Poseidon. Exposed cables pipes, construction noises constant alarms, unreliable air heat water and power, water bottles of piss everywhere because workers don't want to climb 14 flights of stairs to pee, the noise never stops. Plan on camping out. There was a group of other contractors like me that would find each other on every build and share survival tips like; the lion's head in the women's spa will dispense ice. Improvise, adapt and always have a flashlight.

[@clayr6264]

[@gslogar1]

180,000 is not the weight but 180,000 tones which is a measure of useable volume. The ship’s weight is it’s water displacement, it’s actual weight.

[@gslogar1]

I know displacement of water is always the meassure of ship wight. It easy to do the calculation since you have the ship contour and shape the will define it's weight based on volume displaced multipied by density of water at the temperture of the water.

[@Dave_Sisson]

There is a difference between Displacement tonnage or how much a ship would weigh if it was put on giant scales and Gross Tonnage which measures the enclosed space on a ship (the most common measure for passenger ships). They quoted DT which is usually less than half GT for liners.

LOL 11:05 Marin is a world class Dutch institute NOT a part of the France yard 13:03 Promo video from ABB the builder (inventor) from those Azipots NOT part a of the France yard! 14:26 Rule number 1 in business, rely on your own strength and not on your competition's weaknesses. The carnival Vista sailed out of the harbor with a pilot and had to endure a crosswind that had to be reacted by the engines. Isn't it a bit sad that you take a competitor-built ship from a competing shipping company as a negative example to promote your own product? Incidentally, the Carnival Vista is also equipped with the ABB Azipods. 17:58 Nearly 1200 tons.... yep 1400 tons , thats what you find on the internet.

It's simple. The weight of the water that the ship displaces is less than it weighs. The ship is mostly air, water is heavy AF. Doesn't matter if it's a log of wood or 100k t ship. As long as the displaced water weighs more than the ship it will float.
