Nice video on loading and unloading cargo. I still don't know what it's like to live and sail on one of these ships.

In 2005, I was a crew member aboard NCLA's M/S Pride of America during her final weeks of construction at The Lloyd-Werft Shipyard in Bremerhaven Germany. In the few short weeks before the America's Sea Trials, I witnessed many Roll-On Roll-Off Vessels offloading & loading their cargo at a nearby port just adjacent to the shipyard. I found it fascinating to watch how quickly they could turn one of these MASSIVE vessels around! Thousands of passenger cars, trucks, & SUV's loaded in to the ship in a matter of hrs, only to have another massive roll on roll off come into port, empty it's cargo, and be reloaded, and sent off to it's destination within the same day as the first vessel. It's a sight behold, and I consider an enormous privilege to have a front row seat and a firsthand witness of multiple turn arounds/day, everyday for a few weeks. These vessels are truly modern engineering marvels!

As a guy who has worked as porter for the past 7 years moving high end vehicles from very tight spots. I would love to work there.

Im a longshoreman at the port of LA and Long Beach and in the USA we are the one's who unload the auto ships.The job has it up's and downs. For instance new car smell in a brand new car that has not been open for a few months gives me a migraine after a few cars also the decks are just tall enough that you have to bend your head down to walk. On the up side the floors are smooth on each deck and when the cars still had hand break's you could do some drifting.

For loading & unloading of new built cars how does the organising the car’s keys work. I could imagine that would be a nightmare job keeping organised especially when multiple manufactures of 5000 cars are being loaded? Are ‘master’or even ‘grand master’ keys involved for each manufacturer? Those keys I would assume need to be set with compatible immobilisers fobs to let the keys function properly. Interesting security issue.

Thank for you for using internationally understood metric units!

As a retired captain i spent the last 21 years of my career on ro/ro- car carriers, and i do belive you should have done better research on some of the items you described in the video. 1. You said that the lashing gang are officers, nope they are ordinary stevedores. 2. The rolltrailers used are called MAFI trailers and were invented by MAFI Transport Systeme GMBH in Germany. Not by any shipping company. 3. Large and heavy units are placed on the maindeck or if possible below. This for stabilityreason. Also the heavy cargo is spread evenly longitudinal vise to avoid excess trim, and excess stressmoment on the hull. This simply if the vessel is loaded wrong with to much weight in one end she will be trimmed to much on the stern and building up stressmoment, you will then have to ballast the in such way you get the bow down increasing the stress on the hull, this can then lead to the vessel breaking in two. Not a good situation.

@@wasserdrucker6227Yes i have had once a fire onboard a vessel, fortunatly it was in a voidspace that among other thinge maine engine exhaustpipe and also the fuealline for the boiler, The fuelline cracked and sewnt oil over to the exhaust line insulation wich got covered and ignited by the exhaust pipe, it was discovered by one of the enginers as he could feel the heat and also see that the paint on the bulkhead in the cargohold had started getting brown. Firealarm sounded and main engine was stopped. After the engine was stopped we carefully unbolted the manhole cover partially and sneaked a mist nozzle in the area and started misting it down, and finally extinguished the fire with that. Our way of conducting firedrills varies a little regarding if you are on a pure car/truck carrier or on a large ro/ro vessel due to the composition of the cargo, But pc/tc was usual team setup 2 smokediver teams 1 support team 1 tech team 1 first aid team and one engine team. Fifi was planned on 1 smokediving team to asess and fight the fire , 1smokediving team for boundry cooling, tech team to close all ventilation , support team to bring fwd hooses powder extinguishers, new tanks for the smokedivers etc. enginroom team was manning engine runnig pumps bothfor the firefighting but also for discharge any water from cargoholds. As of CO2 quenching of the fire we had to make sure that the compartment that had the fire ha to be compleatly sealed off from the rest of the vessel this due to the sad fact thet the size of the compartmant in some occasions would take most of the CO2 we had onboard. But we considered CO2 as the last resort to be used in the cargoholds.

I don't know why this surprised me, but for some reason I never thought they just drove all the cars onto the ship.That they actually have people where that's their whole job: just drive cars onto the ship, get off, get a new car, and repeat all day long.

As a longshoreman we load and unload cargo ships period including auto ships. AT the port it cant be moved unless a longshoreman touches it including the luggage on the cruse ship.

so, what does life inside one of these things look like? we have yet to see

This provides clarity on just how quickly a fire can spread. No doubt future ships will be constructed with air tight sections and CO2 extinguishers to contain and extinguish fires before they spread.

After unloading another set if train cars were loaded to go back to the Lower 48. The only problem with loading and unloading was when the tide went out and the ramp from the ship to the dock was too steep to move rail cars.
