  • Mega Transports - Gigantic Overseas Autoliner | Engineering Documentary
    World's Most Advanced Supercars: Birth of the Automobile: • World's Most Advanced ...
    A transport to the other side of the globe. The “Höegh Trapper” is the largest automobile transporter in the world. Two hundred meters long, thirty-six meters wide. But the major attraction is actually behind the steel hull: A gigantic cargo area: In total over seventy-one thousand square meters. Enough room for eight-thousand-five-hundred cars. And hundreds of the so-called “High- and Heavies”: Gigantic machines of any kind.
    Her journey takes the fully loaded “Trapper” on a journey covering
    28,000 kilometers. The starting point: Antwerp in Belgium. Here, Port Captain Per Henningsen has to load 1,000 cars in record time - only 16 hours. Next stop: Bremerhaven, in Germany. Besides 2,000 cars here,
    Per has to load 200 high and heavy units - one of which has him
    worrying more than usual. He doesn’t know the exact measurements of the mysterious cargo - will it fit into the Trapper? From Bremerhaven, the journey continues to England, France, and Spain, and then out onto the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. From there across the pond to ports in the US and Jamaica, through the Panama Canal onto the Pacific and all the way to New Zealand and Australia…All that in just fifty days! The Panama Canal is the bottleneck of the journey. The canal is over a hundred years old and was designed for the largest ships at that time. Maximum width: 32.3 meters. For behemoths like The Trapper, that’s not enough. Canal authorities began construction on newer, larger lock systems in 2007. Since its opening in 2016, ships belonging to the so-called Neopanamax class can now transit the canal and that includes the Trapper. But even though the new lock chambers are fifty-five meters wide: For the Trapper this means not even ten meters clearance on either side - a special challenge for Captain She and his crew…

    My dad was the port manager for Mazda in Vallejo, Ca. It was always a big day for us when a ship came in and we would watch them unload the cars for hours. It is something the average person never really thinks about. It is a well coordinated effort between port of origin and destination as well as the hundreds of drivers loading and unloading. I wanted to be the shuttle driver that took unloading drivers back to the ship once they parked the car in the HUGE parking lot. Didn’t happen.😁

      I wonder how they move the larger or odd-shaped vehicles & machinery like exported farm equipment. Do they simply drive the tractors and harvesters onto the ships like this? Or must they be put in containers first? In recent years John Deere for example has shipped cotton harvester machines to places like Uzbekistan (a former Soviet republic in Central Asia).

    I worked for 6 years at a car dealership. I always had the highest respect for the guys who drove the transporters, and were also responsible for the loading, and unloading of the vehicles. This, however, takes that to an astronomically higher level.
    As an aside, an occasional frustration was the customer who expected his new car to have “0” km on it when he took delivery. If they only knew how far it had rolled to get to our lot.

      Non native speakers can have problems understanding accents. I once was in a technical meeting with Chinese, Indians and Swedes, they all spoke English, but had difficulty understanding each other. I had to repeat to each group what the others were saying, eventhough I could understand them all no problem. It was strange. They all just kept looking at me as I was the only native English speaker in the room.

    The English voice over for the Chinese guys is so obnoxious, it's like hearing two people talking at the same time. Usually you only duck the audio its a different language. I think it's super disrepectful to since they took the time and effort to learn the language and they are really proficient at it, yet you dub it over anyways because you deem it to be incomprehensible. Just imagine the guy waiting to see the documentary to come out and show his family and he sees his voice completely made inaudible. I understand it could be for technical reasons, or for the hearing impaired, or even because other people who speak English can't understand because of the accent. Maybe just add subtitles like any other documentary. That's not even with me complaining about the annoying American over-dramatized doom and peril inducing narrator. One thing I had to commend was the camera work, absolutely quality that really captures the nature of the job. But hey it's a free documentary on UA-cam and it was very good regardless so I can't complain too much. I commend the workers doing this job, it's a big sacrifice and some of the hardest work on Earth.

    Sir, this documentary is outstanding in all regards. I truly enjoyed it.
    For accuracy sake, a Panamá Canal Pilot on-board any transiting vessel, while in Panama Canal Waters, has the overriding authority in the control and movement of any vessel. It's the only place in the world where this holds true. At Gatun Lake the vessel didn't navigate without a pilot, even though the film didn't show it. It's a testament of supreme teamwork.

      @Peter Evans I know. My dad still works as a captain. Most of the navigation is done by GPS and computers. However, when the vessel approaches port/shallow waters, the crew still needs to take some control, and they also send in a pilot from the port to assist in docking. For example, just about 2 years ago, my dad's vessel ran aground on shallow waters at night due to a miscalculation in course by the officer at the bridge (my dad was asleep). They had to send in two tugboats to tug it out of there. Shallow water tends to be more unpredictable due to uneven seabed.

    • @Mr539forgotten
      @Mr539forgotten 4 роки тому +37

      Do... Do you work logistics? Have you ever worked logistics ever in your life?
      Yes, stuff like this happens all the time. Do they know the exact dimensions? Sure, someone in the receivables office has gotten approximate dimensions from the consignee or manufacturer, to the tune of roughly half a meters accuracy, or about 2 feet... At the very least, they know the maximum dimensions of the ship, they know the maximum heights and thus they clear that is does fall below the maximum allowable height, but that doesn't mean it will fit... That doesn't mean it will fit easily.
      Like the narrator says, Per is waiting for an unknown cargo, supposedly 7 and a half meters wide on a long trailer. You better believe that's all the info he's gotten from the planning office. They've obviously just gotten a late order and they've run the dimensions against what the deck heights are supposed to be and what the load on that trip is supposed to be to determine that it will 'probably' fit, and it probably will.
      What do you think happens? Do you think they run some kind of super Cad Tetris program to determine within the millimetre where it will fit and how much clearance there will be? No, they just run some basic spacial dimensions to ensure it fits within the allowable margin. You better believe they gave him next to zero info, as Per says himself, most of the time the dimensions aren't even correct and it's the height that becomes an issue.
      They only give him the most basic dimensions, they (the planning office) don't think in 3 dimensions, they only think in 2 dimensions - length and with, like a game of horizontal Tetris... Like a game of rush hour. And as has already been mentioned in the documentary, they've already had last minute order changes, it does happen. The planning office knows when something should theoretically fit, in regards to the original plan. But is the original plan in effect? Are they aware of any last-minute changes? In my experience, almost certainly not. And, it does happen that occasionally they have a last-minute order for you to throw on, which they think will fit, but it doesn't and you have to just say 'nope, leave it till the next run.' That's just life, I'm not talking specifically about loading cars on auto liners, I'm just talking about logistics in general. It's not as organised as you assume. It's not as heavily planned out and smooth running as you think.
      For the most part, with something so high profile as this, it is literally a game of high stakes Tetris. Do they know where each and every vehicle is going to go? Hell no they don't! They know thave have 100 something BMWs to go on, let's assume 30 for the first stop port, 25 for the second, 10 for the third etc etc and with that rough knowledge and after looking at the space available, they figure out how to split it between decks. They don't know if it's going to be big X5 SUV's or little sedans, they just get told a hundred something units of cars for xyz ports.
      Then come heavy machinery, they probably don't even get numbers until the last second, they just know whether to expect a lot of something, or a little of something. X amount of tractors, X amount of prime movers, an order of 5 or so large excavators and a bunch of mining and ag equipment. This is not a ballet, this is not a brilliantly planned and orchestrated event, this is literally Tetris on steroids... But, you know, logistics is actually dull as fuck.
      Are they trying to dramatise it as much as possible? Yes, of course, they are, logistics is boring as shit... But they're not talking shit out their ass to make it seem any worse than it is. Hell no you don't know the exact dimensions, you genuinely do get told 'there's a last-minute order of XYZ and can you fit X on the run?" And yes, occasionally it can't be done, or it can be done, but you have to be creative.
