Superships - Giants of the Sea | Full Documentary

Unveiling the X-ray Enigma: • Radiant Revelations: U...
Ships transport 90 percent of the world's goods traffic. Our film accompanies the giants of the sea on their journey. From a shipyard in China, where giant cargo ships are built, to a fully automated terminal in Rotterdam to ALP Striker, the most powerful oceangoing tug worldwide. Also the program shows environmentally friendly concepts that use wind, hydrogen or LNG (liquefied natural gas) as a power unit. Superships - where will their journey head in the future?

Great job and thank you ever so much. Easy to watch, no hysteria, just the facts. 1++.

[@Luis-xr6ec]

This is one of the greatest documentaries I have ever seen.

[@syedazizkadri883]

APPRECIATE the photography and COMMENTARY!!!

[@fghjk3456]

So relaxing documentary, thanks👍

[@needmoreramsay]

AWESOME job on showing the detailed side of ship breaking !! Although many of the harsh conditions are glossed over, that's not what this documentary is about. Well done and thank you !

[@raymondj8768]

MIND BLOWN GREAT JOB !

[@jasonallen1532]

Excellent program guys, thanks.

[@barrygouthro6315]

Amazing beautiful people. Bless them . ❤

[@ianhobbs4984]

A cruise ship is probably the worst type of holiday ever

[@shotty2164]

Having a totally automated port isn’t really a flex in my eyes. People need to work, especially now days. Making it fully automated puts thousands and thousands of people out of work, all so the companies can save money and be “more efficient”

[@TomasstbergJacobsen]

Very nice documentary with a few faults. Also nice to hear a voiceover that was not all positive to ANYTHING. 8/10

[@101bravohotel6]

as a kid i always wanted to sale the ocean, but it never happened " says it with the most heart broken smile ever"

[@malcolm9650]

How old are you? Never too late. I started my officer cadetship at tge age of 44, I am 46 now and loving it.

[@marcmeinzer8859]

He’s lucky he’s building them instead of living aboard. Merchant seafaring is indentured servitude for up to an entire year spent at sea with no time off working as much as 100 hours per week. American seamen have it relatively easy in that they typically only get stuck aboard for four months, but again, typically with no days off working up to 100 hours per week. Then you get these two month vacations back home where you don’t even know anyone who’s a seaman. It’s the twilight zone. I quit after eight years to become a barber.

[@Glenn-em3hv]

Getting out of the Navy after my 4 years was up was the biggest mistake I've ever made and I'll always regret it!!!

[@marcmeinzer8859]

@@Glenn-em3hv I was in the navy and got out. I could hardly wait to get out the entire time I was in because I foolishly volunteered for submarine duty. I got a shot at OCS and was so disgusted with the chickenshit double dose of boot camp that I resigned after just 3 days. In retrospect I might’ve found the navy more agreeable if I’d been maybe a cook or a ship’s serviceman [barber] instead of a quartermaster. I ended up in the merchant marine as a boatswain’s mate which means I really should’ve been a BM in the navy as well at least for that job. Lots of merchant marine officers are naval reservists and typically they’re not tempted to volunteer to go on active duty so that’s got to tell you something.

48:27 Captain Crunch!

[@JusticeAlways]

Best comment in this string. So many others just complain.

[@OMSRUK]

What is amazing this made humans every peace and every part of the ship has biggest job and what it’s for deal with conditions and power house of the sea and the m weights and Money it takes is mad and just mad that’s skills I right hands will man power the whole world

[@Sydney1903]

Do you guys have somebody smoking a bong in the back room of your audio or am I just that high myself?

[@prayforukraineplease7605]

7:23 nice idea to print it ).

[@prayforukraineplease7605]

7:27 ups... Egipt closed the gap ?!?

[@stevereid8645]

Thanks for sharing. First time hearing about the vikings landing in Newfoundland. It was only about 2 months ago, they found a wooden ship here by the Island. Never been explored yet I don't think. But never know, it could be a vikings boat maybe.

[@neutralino1905]

I like how this focuses on Chinese shipbuilders. China’s shipbuilding industry is the world’s largest.

[@kirkmabbitt3837]

I've always wanted to visit Antarctica but with the signing of the antarctic treaty by 130 nations which prevents citizens from going unless it's on a guided tour, I will never get to see that beautiful 150' ice wall that surrounds our globe and holds our ocean waters in! 😢

[@jefferyjohnson6021]

😎🎄🍿🥤 peanut butter 🥜🍪

[@neillconroy2183]

Very well done! Òne problem I did notice was the pronunciation of Newfoundland. It is not "NewFINland". It is "NewfnLAND". I should add that the presenter's pronunciation was at least original. I don't recall hearing that one ever before. I think most of my confreres in Newfoundland, if forced to accept a change, would not mind being associated with a country and a people like Finland, our new NATO friends.

[@Alltransportsolutions]

I’m sorry, did you say 280eur a month??? Um 😮

[@quickieswithscottechristie]

Very educational. My favorite part was when they brought up the Neanderthals 170 thousand years ago. Thanks for all your hard work and research.

[@rosemiller1448]

Some ships are speciality ship that takes on exotic jobs. The Polaris roams the seven seas

[@georgeweisbrod1876]

Jacque Cousteau had his four "mast" rotosail that accompanied the Calypso on many vougages.

[@felixthecleaner8843]

at 29:10-ish...it states the massive oil platform's impressive stats then it say's 'when empty it weighs a thousand tons'! this must be an error - something that massive (among the biggest in the world) must surely be in the hundreds of thousands of tons - shurely..

[@corax_of_istria]

Cruise ships are so "overboard". Anyone? No one at all?

[@kevinlewis9369]

I figured folks would be flocking to this after what happened with the Key Bridge in Baltimore. Go figure.

[@ruslanpotash7272]

Why measures then wrong ifts circle?

[@darrenheggs1679]

Miles and feet please.

[@Glenn-em3hv]

Who built the canal??? That's right so why don't we get the money to travel it???

[@rapidthrash1964]

Want a cleaner ship? Thorium MSR propulsion

[@marcmeinzer8859]

Try reading SUPER FUEL: Thorium, the Green Energy Source for the Future by Richard Martin [Macmillan].

[@benediktmorak4409]

and than it needs one, not even a such big one, shippy to block the whole Suez canal. And time stands still....

[@terrydooley1380]

DO YOU PLAN ON CONTAINERS FALLING OVER BOARD ?

[@rosemiller1448]

Oil drilling rig are transported by special ships. ALP Striker....is a specialist ship , the cargo it tugs is the oil drilling rig. The tow line cannot snap at sea.The pontoons show efficient stability. Such transport is extremely rare, and very risky . Tow lines have to be checked regularly by engineers in a rubber dingy. The destination of the drilling rig...the seven seas is a busy water way.

[@Glenn-em3hv]

I was in the Navy and I've seen lines snap and it's incredible!!! It's a giant rubber band that will cut anything in half that it hits!!!

[@AllenAsal]

Who else is watching this for school

[@falcoii8565]

Is Ian McShane narrating this? Sure sounds like him.

[@finalascent]

I think it's Sean Bean!

[@rosemiller1448]

Too much effort; too little efficiency.

[@harrygibbs9436]

Of course we can use environmentally friendly. Perhaps the super yachts of the rich should do the same.

[@scholarlyreader383]

In the US we have no automation

[@RA-mg3ue]

shore workers union - not for them or against them - they can shut the docks down in an hour

[@craig4867]

That's why you're no longer a world power! 🇨🇳

[@ApacheBob41]

Jan needs to be replaced, see how he likes it.

[@Hateweek1984]

I think ITS CUTE...humans somehow think they are effecting and or changing the climate...

[@BloatedJam]

I think it’s cute how idiots like you think that we aren’t….

[@movingman07]

I don't want to wait to find out if your theory is correct or not. The bottom line is time to move on like beta versus VHS

[@JusticeAlways]

Yeah...bet you know everything eh?

[@anthonynicholich9654]

Regular German worker at the German port in Hamburg speaks english!! (he doesn't have to it's by choice for those arrogant people that think that he does) I wonder how many Americans at American ports speak German or any other language?! it shows how much more educated Europeans and Asians are and we wonder why they're doing better than we are!! our arrogance is the worst.

[@UQRXD]

Ban cruise ships waste of fuel.

[@jefferykolb]

This is why the oceans are rising!!!!!

[@d.j.2068]

“This is why the oceans are rising!!!!!”…🤡🤡🤡

[@kenp2392]

So miniscule as to be inconsequential.

[@craig4867]

We are converting some OIL TANKERS and FREIGHTERS into vertical missile launchers, each will hold 1,000+missiles! 🇨🇳

[@zuckfacegobbels4527]

Chyna lol

[@hisnherz543]

🎢

[@shaunmcclory8117]

Ahh so thats why dozens of bulk carriers sink every year🇨🇳

[@marcmeinzer8859]

Absolutely. Bulk carriers are the most dangerous ships owing to their general lack of compartmentalization in tandem with the tendency of wet iron ore to form sulfuric acid which then eats holes in the hull. They literally vanish without a trace. Working bulk carriers on the Great Lakes isn’t quite as dangerous because the fresh water there isn’t as corrosive.

[@Glenn-em3hv]

They will just make more!!! Job security!

[@lenjames]

Big bad Global Warming..wish they would talk about how earth goes through climate changes all by itself. That's facts.

[@mikes7639]

You do realize its the rate of change thats making climate change so deadly ? Sure the climate has gone thru cycles but that was over thousands of years not fifty . Nothing can adapt fast enough to survive

[@andrewsimckes5748]

Or explain to me how there were worse hurricanes in late 1800's early 1900's

[@jclar3565]

and human intervention can very possibly fix the problem. Give it a few years of development

[@maxventuri-sn2mi]

It's all about more power carbon isn't the problem

[@movingman07]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@aob9741]

More jobs lost to automation …wonderful…🙄

[@DanielWilson-kk9pv]

freemasons much?

[@billb7876]

As soon as I heard "In times of climate change", I switched the program well and truly OFF

[@silvershadchan4085]

All of the cargo ships should just go electric just like all the cars did.

[@rocketassistedgoat1079]

Or hydrogen. Which might be about to have it's day, at sea.

[@MarksTournaments]

@@rocketassistedgoat1079 really?

[@BloatedJam]

Not possible

[@Lancer498]

Barely a fraction of cars have gone electric, or probably ever will go electric. If you want zero emission ships, the only option would be giving them all nuclear power.

[@johnconnolly109]

And why don't you give us the stats on how (1) How much pollution for one cargo ship Times (2) the number of cargo ships on the sea each day and (3) total pounds of pollution you creat JUST to get your toys from one international port to another. In the Millions of pounds per day ???

[@JusticeAlways]

Maybe do some research on it yourself? 👍

[@mastercreamer1398]

Global shipping is a giant waste of fossil fuels, grow and produce locally, no more ships and planes burning fuel to save money!
