When the crew is not working, they enjoy: hot meals (picture of salad bar), a cinema (42' tv), a swimming pool (empty), and a workout room (1 multi use machine). Extravagant!!....
The pool is empty because the water in it weighs the ship down mostly when it shakes probably doesn't affect the ship much because of it's size but you get the point
@@xijinpooh223 Is empty so the filtration system can be switched off. Filling the pool only when you want to use it drastically reduces the maintenance cost
@@Genius_at_Work There's no filtration, just fill it with fresh seawater and empty it when done. If it's dirty, send someone to clean it (probably a cadet). The weight of water in the pool would at no point be taken into consideration. I mean, they carry 10000tons of fuel :D
Yes, and an Airbutz A380 goes more than 10 times the speed, is made up of millions of wires, has 4 critical propulsion systems, and its primary purpose is the safe carriage of human beings. On a ship, human beings are the secondary concern, the cargo is the primary reason for its being. If the propulsion engine conks out, it can remain afloat for an indefinite period, or even be towed by another vessel. A ship can be left unsailed for a long period of time, and relatively quickly be returned to service. An A380 that has not flown in a long period of time would need a complete airworthiness certification prior to returning to service. Very, very complex piece of technology. Not to say that a container vessel isn't also complex, but I would compare a sailing vessel to an aircraft like I would compare a mechanic to a surgeon. They can both do similar things, but on a greatly differing level.
Stan Patterson Not to forget the certifications which are a much longer process for aircraft than for ships. Furthermore a ship might be massive but most of it simply is steel without anything behind it.
The certifications also cost millions . For example an Boeing Instrument Landing System certification ( ILS ) costs 1 million USD and that's just from Boeing other authorities also gave to approve .

I think Europeans say "cinema" where Americans say "watching a movie," in reference to watching on their TV. When we (Americans) use "cinema" we are usually referring to seeing a movie at the movie theater.
I had luckily been able to get my hand on a ticket when the first triple E got delivered. As Mærsk is a Danish Company they Got special permission from the Government to open it up for the public for 4 days, because basically nothing else will come in and out of the harbor for 4 days! All the tour tickets was gone in around 25 minutes for all 4 days! It’s absolutely mind blowing to see it in reality, like you are thinking this can’t be real! I have never experienced anything like it, and the tour took 2-3 hours. It made the harbor look like LEGO in comparison. If you ever get the chance to get onboard a ship like this do it! It was amazing
Compared to the price of a small modern military aircraft (and most military stuff as a whole) this giant ship seems dirty cheap. So either those ships are really well thought out from economic perspective, or the armaments are sold at a _little extra._
TotalRookie_LV it’s a fact of the nature of the construction. Maersk is vertically integrated, they have their own shipyards, while the Navy buys from contractors who sell at a substantial markup. Also, sophisticated weapons systems are fairly expensive, and then there’s good old bureaucratic corruption.
Most of these ships don't need new high tech systems , GPS navigation and an efficient propulsion system . Aircraft get developed from scratch and especially millitary aircraft get more advanced and constantly get new stuff added into their development thus making them more expensive . Container ships have one job but for example the F-35 is supposed to be a VTOL , ground attacker , Intercepter , fleet defender and a stealth aircraft at the same time and all of these roles actually contradict themselves .
In a zombie apocalypse scenario, imagine transforming this in a floating city. I could carry enough food to support hundreds of people for months, or maybe years.
We are mostly overworked there, working 13 hours including 2 hours for breaks and meals ( 30 mins each for lunch and dinner). The ratings only have 5 months contract but it feels reaaaaaly long when teamed up with some "company men" officers.
We’re always supposed to know how tall a famous building is to compare to something. “It’s as tall as the Empire State Building” means nothing to me. I’ve never seen the Empire State Building in person.
Well, lots of people have and it is a well know tall building + remember this is a US show. More irrelevant is the comparison with the amount of steel used to make the Eiffel Tower. Well know tower, but not many know the amount of steel used.
it's one of the most well-known buildings in the entire world. You'd have a point if they compared it to some random office tower in Detroit that know one knows.
I worked on a container ship before with a lot of reefers, worst days in my career less sleep and working extended time period, not to mention we berth at 15 ports a month.
It burns 250k $ worth of fuel an hour...just for propulsion.....you don't know for generators, lights , crew cost , bunkering costs, ...more than 300k+ an hour

They aren't on board all the time. Usually they don't work more than three months in one go. And then they are home for a couple of weeks or months, depends on how long they have been on board. There are a few exceptions though One of them is intern which stay on board for 2×6 months (i will be doing this) or 12 months in one go and some people from the phillipines that work on deck stay for up to nine months. This is because they only go once and that way they earn (for them) a lot of money which can provide them for a long time.
Norbert Schmitz These days are over. Since 2007 the shipping industry is facing a massive crisis dropping the freight rates at such a low level that they barely cover the running costs. For that reason the vessel size exploded since then. And the Triple E Class is built in South Korea which isn't exactly Third World.
Then there would still need to be 2.5x more containers hiding under the bridge than those that are visible. I don't doubt that it can hold 18000, but I really don't get how.
It can fit ~ 18.000 TEU container (Twenty foot long containers). However, you normally have containers twice the size (also reffered as FEU - Forty-foot Equivalent Unit). In the video you can see mostly FEU containers. However at 1:25 in the harbour you can also see a few smaller TEU containers. The capacity of container ships is always given in TEU so that explains where the ~18.000 containers come from
Aah I see. Ok so that means I can account for about 11,000 TEU capacity based on the shots in the video, and then maybe there are more below deck or something.
My guess is that the "10 containers high" from the video is not actually the max the ship can carry. I think they were only able to staple 10 containers onto each other because of a bridge or heavy wind or something and that the max height is actually more that that.
You don't go around addressing the man in charge as "Master" even though that's his technical title. I drive a truck, and when I cross a border, I'm the master of the vessel, but it's not a title I carry. The person-in-charge above all others on a sailing vessel is addressed as Captain.
I have heard that China has made a contaner ship that is one meter longer than this Danish contaner ship Emma ... I do not know what the ship is called but it is now the world's longest contaner ship one meter longer than the Danish ship called Emma...
Sorry but as a Maritime enthusiast i have to correct you there, this is the Mary Mærsk wich is in the triple-e series wich is 399m long. Thats 2 meters longer than the Emma Mærsk and have a different Bridge design than Emma, right now the Mærsk triple-e series and some MSC container ships holds the record of being the worlds biggest container ships(399) meters but the altime biggest ship was "Jahre Viking"(Sje was renamed sebran times to "Seawise giant", Knock Nevis and a few other names) with it's 458 meters of hull but sadly that beauty was scrapped
Many ships is bigger than Emma, but the newest triple e ship, Madrid Maersk, is currently the worlds biggest. When you measure in the amount of cargo being transported and not in actual size :)
Lochaby nah we have a major social security net that helps people to get on top again, if you catch people before they crash they return faster to become productive citizens and happy citizens
RaviWay Inc. Or to be more precise and a lot less simple: The improved Triple E Class has 20586 TEU (twenty foot equivalent unit) and 200600 DWT (deadweight tons). So assuming there is no fuel, spare parts, provision etc. each container could only weight about ten tons while the average mass used in calculations is 18 tons per forty foot container. Hence that's twice the weight minus 10% of my "calculation" for 20 ft containers and two of them can be replaced by one 40 footer the weight of 10293 of them fits the 2006000 tons with a couple of tons for provision and spares and a couple of thousand tons for fuel. And a joke weight for the crew. Btw. that answer was to fit the "Get a life" point. If you read all of it you have way to much time.
When the crew is not working, they enjoy: hot meals (picture of salad bar), a cinema (42' tv), a swimming pool (empty), and a workout room (1 multi use machine). Extravagant!!....
The "cinema" wasn't even turned on (or it's broken)

$190 million sounds unusually inexpensive for something this massive. The Airbus A380 by comparison is close to $450 million.

In fact there 4 turnlocks are put to the base of the container when they stack it onto other one. The lowest line of containers is secured by rods.

Is this 20,000++ TEUs vessel?
Haggen Charman About 18000. But Maersk slightly improved the design so the second generation of the Triple E class can carry over 20000 containers.
:-( Waiting in vain for a glimpse of my father
22 containers wide x 24 containers long x 10 containers high = 5280 containers. So where does the 18000 number come from?
There's more container under the bridge (I think)
Then there would still need to be 2.5x more containers hiding under the bridge than those that are visible. I don't doubt that it can hold 18000, but I really don't get how.

Just FYI, a merchant ship has a "master". A warship has a "captain". Might seem subtle, but BIG difference legally in many ways.
Jacques Blaque B. S.

In many countries there is no such term as "master", only Captain.
Why don't they do nuclear power, like the largest subs? Wouldn't this save a lot of fuel cost?
If it did save money they would've already used that kind of technology

RaviWay Inc. Get life.
RaviWay Inc. Because the load capacity of a container vessel is not only made by the number of containers but also their weight.
RaviWay Inc. Or to be more precise and a lot less simple:
The improved Triple E Class has 20586 TEU (twenty foot equivalent unit) and 200600 DWT (deadweight tons). So assuming there is no fuel, spare parts, provision etc. each container could only weight about ten tons while the average mass used in calculations is 18 tons per forty foot container. Hence that's twice the weight minus 10% of my "calculation" for 20 ft containers and two of them can be replaced by one 40 footer the weight of 10293 of them fits the 2006000 tons with a couple of tons for provision and spares and a couple of thousand tons for fuel. And a joke weight for the crew.
