MEGA BUILDERS - Building the world's largest container ship, Eugen Maersk. (part 5 of 5)

[unggrabb]

must be the worlds worst and irritating narrator

[Fendt414Vario]

Max load 15.500 TEU I believe

[andz0]

Thank you

[bennyc333]

Hip hip...

[Squarerig]

What is the capacity of a container?How many tons?

[matamatamata]

OIJIN MAERSK wtf is Oijin

[larstheu]

"... forgot to tighten a some nuts" - Idiot!

That is MISINFORMATION!

Sorry speaker you cannot fool me, I understand danish, and they said - translated from danish to english - that they had to replace some gaskets because the were leaky, and that will take approx 3 minutes to do.

I can tell you that those worker at Lindø shipyard knows what they are doing.

Am I the only one tired of that speaker?

[5tristanvm]

wot a monster :)

[explorer914]

This is the Maersk E-Class right?

[frankensteinmusic]

nice documentary =)

[brucekirk89]

i bet it takes like 2-3 hours to even start up this motor to get ready to go out

[3Mudbone1]

@brucekirk89 15 minutes.

[D2jspOFFICIAL]

Isnt the engine from MAN?

[poisen130]

@D2jspOFFICIAL Nope. It's a s sulzer. 109.000 BHP

[poisen130]

@D2jspOFFICIAL Nope. It's a s sulzer. 109.000 BHP

Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C

[tigerbaiter1]

Does it have power steering?

[fighter4rent]

@tigerbaiter1 No the Master is just realy strong, quite impresive to watch him at work.

[amigos1996]

oops I forgot to tighten a nut I had to go eat. they do not pay overtime

[fenixans]

nice name there Urine

[dtiydr]

Isane that they could build that in only one year.

[Squarerig]

I should point out that a ship is not an IT but always a SHE!

[1jilu]

oyy jean

it must be jewish :)

[hummer100dkdk]

det kan ikke være bedre (DK)

danske undertekster

(EN)

it can not be better

Danish subtitles

[moveaxebx]

Thumbs up for Soren! :)

[4freespeech]

Watching all of this WORK I can't help but WISH that the United States still

had some heavy industry and could build machinery like this.

We were once great builders of ships, planes, locomotives, etc. But sadly

now everything is marked: "Made In China".

The World Bank has done their dastardly work well & the U.S. is destroyed.

[EvolutionIXRR]

@4freespeech it is cuz american workers are getting lazy and charge so much hourly rate.. As a businessman what would I chose to pay u if I can get 3 or 5 people to work for me with very cheap labor and do the same or better quality? Look what happened to Chrysler...Most of their people are smoking crack during lunch time.lol

[deathjr277]

lmfao i feel bad for the guy tht fell of the ladder but the way the narrator said it was soo exagerated and hilarious

[britdemo]

its oigen mearsk its pronounced you jean .....

[crazymanpictures13]

what the hell is the rumor of the fire on the emma maersk?

[AHPatriot]

this ship is phenominal

[jdeerem]

i counted 14 cylinders! in that bad boy's engine!

[53ferrera]

this is big!

[yambo59]

My hat is off to the guys who build these ships on such a herculean scale! the size of everything, especially the engine parts in movement is just awesome. But as past car mechanic, I realize part clearance is no less critical, even on this massive scale. I cant imagine seeing them cast the engine block and head, assuming they are castings at all. Im thinking the crankshaft is surely a forging- If so, how big is THAT forging press-??!!!

[Xigano1]

yambo59,

I think it's all cut with CNC these days.

[yambo59]

@Xigano1 That would indeed stand to reason - and what a cnc machine operation it must be -

[Patriot1776]

@yambo59

They can't forge it as one piece, you can't build a forging press big enough. Instead, the crank throws are forged individually and press fitted to multiple main bearing journals to build the crankshaft. They machine the main journals with the crank as one unit, and the lathe for that is as big as the bedplates. The journals on the crank throws are machined before the throw and main bearing journals are pressed together.

[yambo59]

@Patriot1776 again as above - that makes much more sense-- and still a big operation !

[Patriot1776]

@yambo59

I'm sure you noticed as well that that crankshaft has no counterweights. With the massive scale involved it might sound like a major problem, but this is a very slow speed engine because of its mass. The most RPM it'll ever see is probably around 120 RPM redline and spend most of its life somewhat below that, speeds far too slow probably to warrant counterweighting the crank and making it unnecessarily heavy.

[yambo59]

@Patriot1776 Ill be honest, i was so amazed at the scale, i forgot to even consider the counterweights, i was aware of their low rpm operation, but still those rods and pistons if i remember weight like 3 or more tons each! but i see youre point, counterweights would make the assembly gargantuan. heres a thought,--- maybe its balanced somewhat like some auto engines -- with counterweights on the flywheel or similar-??

[rodolfos1]

nice video

[Wartsilapower]

Nice to see our engine performed well!

[tarkineWild]

Plenty of unanswered questions and need to know facts, but none the less it was a very good documentary on what it takes to build and get a massive container ship up and running

Thank you for uploading all of these I enjoyed it very much

[bergholdt]

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have - if I can :)

I saw the first sistership (Emma Maersk) leave the yard in 2006.

[blackmondae]

so you are also a shipbuilder?

[redsmith000]

@bergholdt emma, ebba estelle elly eugen 7 identical ships, if im not mistaken. but cma cgm christophe colomb, and cma cgm aquila, are quite big aswell.

[bergholdt]

@redsmith000 Ebba, Edith, Eleonora, Elly, Emma, Estelle, Eugen & Evelyn = 8 sister ships @ 14770 TEU :)

[jef2907]

@bergholdt If you receive this comment. I want to know how they move the built ship into the river/ocean. Did they build seperate part and assemble them in the port?
