  • Construction of a Massive Ocean Liner | FD Engineering
    Extreme Constructions - Complete Series: • Extreme Constructions ...
    In the Meyer Shipyard in Lower Saxony, the world's first natural gas cruise liner is under construction: the AIDAnova. There is room for up to 6,600 passengers, a television broadcast studio and a theater on the 337 meter long ship.
    Needless to say, production of the giant ocean liner is a technical and logistical challenge, and comprised of approximately 15 million individual parts.

    Nothing was said about electric power generation. The azipods & bow-thrusters certainly have minutely controllable electric motors, so I'm guessing that the "main engines" are actually enormous AC generators which supply everything on-board. 64,000 kw (approx 85,120 hp) is a boat-load of electron-motion.

    28:00 Why stress a small part of a deck with 250 tonnes of preload?
    Once the jacks are removed, the rest of the ship will stress that length of weld continuously, and dynamic loads will add to the stress.
    Much better to use one of the many gap filling techniques and avoid stressing the ship before it's done anything.

    IT IS NOT an "ocean liner", IT IS a "cruise ship".... this video is interesting, but please, do not confuse people by wrong terminology, especially in documentary content. The ocean liner is a transporter to cross an ocean as fast as possible (and in luxury) on a regular schedule, whereas the cruise ship is a floating amusement park that is able to move on its own, very slowly to let passengers spend as much time on board to enjoy attractions as possible. The only operative ocean liner in the world is currently the RMS Queen Mary 2 of Cunard line and she is literally one-of-a-kind.
