  • 315 metres long, 65 metres high, weighing 80,000 tonnes and capable of transporting more than 7,000 people, the Meraviglia is the ultimate cruise ship. But how was she built? More than 2,500 people worked day and night, using the latest technological developments to lessen the environmental impact.

      @@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"!!

    Wow. This hydrodynamic engineering and Computational Fluid Dynamics is going to revolutionize the way that ships have sailed for the last 300 years. Modern ships always had pointed bows and propellers. As long as you can fit through the Suez Canal I guess you're good to go, now. There has also been great strides forward in the development of hydrofoil techniques, too, for smaller craft. My Dad was a foreman at a Republic Steel plant in Ohio in the 1950's and he said they made the best steel in the world. He would be very proud at how steel is being produced and used now.

There's nothing special about this ship, it was not bigger or more sophisticated than others built at the time.

      guys please know we have all did evil (sin) and we are punished with death and since evil separates us from God we will go to hell. But God lovingly gives us a way out through Christ where we can be saved if we believe and confess Christ as Lord. We are saved as he paid the debt of our sins on the cross. Follow God and abandon your sinful ways please as if we stay in them we shall still go to hell as we will deny Christ(also if you want please read John 3:16 it's not long)

      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.

    On a huge ship like that, do they have enough life rafts, or whatever they are called now, for all the passengers? Just curious. I've never been on a floating Petri dish before.

    • @boffeycn

      Yes. check out IMO and SOLAS. They aren't floating Petri dishes unless you mean the rich wankers who refuse to apply common sense and societal norms.

      All ships must carry enough life boats to hold 150% of the crew and guests! As for “floating Petri dish” how original yawn 🥱 I’ve never gotten sick on a ship, but I know how to wash my hands with soap and water.

      "slices threw water"? .... were they orange slices?? lemon slices???, and where did they throw the water?? where did the knife throw the butter?? in the interests of literacy I would suggest replacing "threw" with "through". As to boggling, yes, how DOES a 80,000 ton boat slice through water like a knife through butter?

    If it requires diesel fuel for 4 generators, then how exactly does it "produce it's own power"? By that standard, my lawn mower belongs in this conversation.
