The amount of engineering that goes into designing and building a ship like this is mind boggling. When i was a kid a ship of this type, smaller obviously, came into Kahului Harbor on Maui and loaded an entire railroad. Not the cars, but the running gear, locomotives and steel rails. The captain and first mate operated the entire lifting apparatus, it was really amazing to see.

i wonder if there is a video about it (like old footage)?

Shipyards, train whistles, kittens meowing, rain on the leaves, soft thunder, sea gulls calling, my little Penelope's last breath. If they're not in Heaven, I want to go where they are.

😮Woah that's gigantic

Genius designer ship.

23:52 amazing view😍

The engineering of this thing is insane, it's basically a mobile floating dry dock they flood the ballast tanks and the entire hull submerges with just those superstructure towers above the water, then another massive ship is manoeuvred over the submerged hull between the towers and the ballast tanks are pumped out again to lift the ship on top up out of the water.

So it’s a floating drydock capable of lifting the largest Carnival Line cruise ships. It’s no wonder that Rotterdam is the most advanced engineering design port in the world.

What a mad-looking vehicle.

You can almost carry an aircraft carrier on that ship. Maybe not a combat nuclear aircraft carrier but definitely a landing craft helicopter carrier amphibious warfare ship

I can´t say that BOKA VANGUARD is a pretty ship, but it is impressive

Hmm... Interesting. How does it handle in heavy seas: whipping rolls or head on 60 ft swells? Will the towers manage without fractures st the base? Sorry for asking, just interested.

@5:23 is that a Callesen diesel I hear? is it coming form the ship with the Dutch flag?

and there is me having trouble parking my normal sized car. how does such a ship which is basically bigger than some villages dock without running everything over?

I wouldn’t want to be on it in rough seas but it’s a nice work of engineering.

Im scared if a guy jumps on the wrong side of that tower the whole thing is gonna snap and fall off

Cor blimey that’s big

Interesting piece of engineering. What is this used for?

IT is easy to recognize the safe distances around the shipping, just on working person's regular.

I feel like in a bad storm or with a rogue wave. That bridge is the first thing to go. I understand you wouldn't use the ship like this in a storm, but typically mother nature has other plans when it comes to that kind of thing

@@BigTArmada It's got the same likelihood as any other direction, that said, even in the side on profile the superstructure is likely tied into or part of the bulkheads. Finnish design, built by Hyundai, you know the engineering has to be good. I think the ultimate answer is as you said, this ship isn't used in those sort of conditions and steers wide around any inclement weather.

@@noahmoore2684 Engineering has no bearing on physics. I'm certain the point of contact between the bridge and hull is reinforced in a multitude of methods, but I'm also sure that placing that tall (and heavy) a structure on what effectively becomes a pivot, creates excess force that need not exist with a different design.

Does anyone have photos or videos from the bridge?)

OCCITAN KEY könnte etwas Pflege vertragen, sehr verrostet das Schiff. Leider sind die mit "Schweröl, Diesel" betriebenen Schiffe nicht besonders umweltfreundlich.

With two fixed, two retractable azimuth thrusters, AND a bow thruster, she still needs a tug to help move about. Talk about unwieldy! This was the last of the hull-up builds for Dockwise before they were bought out by Royal Boskalis Westminister N.V.

Looks like the ship submerges to allow large cargo to float onto its gigantic platform, then the ship floats back upward with yhe cargo and sail away

These semi-submersibles are an amazing technology and are absolute beasts.

Wild machine....that would be a punishing "ejection" to get launched on those lifeboats! BAM!

I wonder if an aircraft carrier would fit on that... a submarine certainly will.

Is that near queensland?

imagine if a ship like that was turned into a billionaire terayacht cruiser, lol. there could be apartments in all of the four towers and a golf course in the middle surrounded by trees

Wonder how much it costs a day to hire
