- Mega Pit Stops - Episode 5: The gigantic car ferry Peter Pan is cut in half and prolonged by a center-section.
It is an almost impossible endeauvour: The Peter Pan, a gigantic car ferry shall become - even bigger. It is lengthened from 190 to a mighty 220 metres! How do the engineers do that? They cut the ferry into two parts and insert a 30-meter-long section in the middle, which is prefabricated in another shipyard, 200 kilometers away. All this - in just 58 days.
Because time is a crucial issue here, sixty workers already start preparing the ferry for her lengthening during its final crossing to the shipyard: German Dry Docks in Bremerhaven. The responsible engineers are nervous: to fit all the restrictions of the shipping company TT-Line, they have to apply a very special cutting method, that has never been used before. And in fact: the first problems arise, when they try to pull the two halves of the ship apart - each of them weighing several thousand tons. Some steel beams have snagged.
But this is not the only problem the crew will have to deal with: they can only move the gigantic single pieces of the ship when the dock is flooded. Lose ends like the engine room therefore have to be sealed up watertight to save the sensitive technology. Will the welding seams hold? Will the mid section arive on time in Bremerhaven? Will the three single pieces all fit together in the end? The first passengers are already booked on the new Peter Pan. A breathtaking race against time…

Excellent English voice overs! Dude doing the drama at 14:03 ...is there an award for best dramatic voice over in a UA-cam vid?!
An awesome project, reminded me why I retired out of heavy oil engineering after 42 years at it. One day you say to yourself 'enough' time to let the young guys take over.
13:33 these script writers never miss an opportunity to add drama.
I swear the drama thou 😅
The entire video goes like this:
'There is no sugar for the tea. THIS PUTS THE ENTIRE OPERATION IN JEOPARDY! Teams scramble to find the sugar, as time is running out. Now they're out of cookies. This is a disaster!'
very amazing video thank you free documentary keep working excellent English voice
Hard work. Attention to detail. Fairly compensated. What great attributes.
I've been on the Peter Pan a lot of times during my job as a truckdriver (12years long 4times a week). Still the best ship I have been on. Good food and service.
I have been there too. Very nice ship om my mind too. 20 years of international driving from Finland. And like known Finland is an island. The only way to western is by boat.
It's a simple formula to easily win over your customers, "good food and service" yet how many businesses are blind to it.
How long is the crossing? Do you berth in your truck for rest?
@@bobk2966 about 8-9 hours. Every driver gets his own (2p)cabin with toilet and shower.
...you can not have visited many ferries....
how can someone dislike thios informative documentary?
Because it's very repetitive. Most of the time is spent showing how to fit the ship or the midsection into the dock and nothing about what really happens inside
Not many shipping yards will have the capability to carry out such jobs. German engineering at its finest!
...why "not many shipping yards will the capability..."....????? To your information is that ferry (26391 gross ton) one the smaller ones that is in international traffic in Europe. ....so what about all the others much bigger ferries all over Europe....???? You don't need to go further than to Kiel to see the largest car ferry in the world Color Magic 75156 gross ton ....and it's sister ship of Color Fantasy ...who both goes to Oslo. There are many yards around in Europe that has the capability to do that kind of work. It is the price and time available on a yard that determines who will do the job.
Love your Documentary Channel, keep up the good work !
im very respect germany people..smart people and hard working
German engineers are very good.! Wow
I love the artifical drama and urgency that the narrator injects into this story
One minute in and we already have a mention of football field. We're off to a good start!
I was wondering how many 'Olympic size swimming pool's' of water this ship displaces and how many equivalent 'London double decker buses' it weighs.
Yup. Wonder if they are talking about the football played all over he world or the American game that involves throwing the ball.
They used to compare weight to x number of 747s now its A380s. Boeing loses face again.
@@jacknordli7630 Forget about the 737 MAX - this is the really big issue for Boeing!
But he means a USA type of football not aoccee.
To show you the power of FlexTape I sawed this boat in half!
Great team work. Professionals throughout every process.
That peter pan when cut be like: AHHH MY HAND
You know football is the most popular sport after watching these docs. Imagine talking about golf fairways !
elegy slp lmao
Amazing jobs are well planed and done by many engineers and worker !!
2 x 4 km welding is 8 km. Football fields and A380s again but no elephants this time. Nice stuff all the same.
Don't mind if they compare to A380's, but when it's something like elephants it's so cringe 😩🙄
Yes, football fields, Olympic sized swimming pools and in England, double decker buses have become accepted units of measurement.
....those Americans are really getting very advanced / sophisticated now a days with all these measurements you mention.....
Incredible what is able to be completed.
absolutely enthralling
this has totally changed my mind before I knew its impossible to re- adjust a ship now its my turn keep the good job
Now that's what I call heavy engineering!
imagine religious ppl b like "God bless these people" - like wtf, extreme engineering, years of education, experience, development but noo.. God willingly this happened wkwkwkwwkwkwk
SO SO SO EDUCATIONAL TO ME
The “meyger pit staaap” 😂
Mammoth job. After this, I can no longer complain about my job duties. Puts me to shame.
I'm a simple man, when someone says "He specializes in transporting heavy loads", I laugh.
12:54 😂
REMARKABLY, REMARKABLE!!😂❤
Hoppas det blev lite investerat i köket. Det har vart samma skitmat hos chaufförerna i typ 25 år. Exakt samma meny.
Koken måste vara jättestolt över sitt jobb.
Båten är så sliten, hytternas bäddar är helt slut. Hoppas på en renovering där också.
Och och hoppas stor del av personalen fick gå på charmkurs under renoveringen....
when looking at what Stena Europe went through.
First her build, then adding the decks with cabins on top, then removing and now her current state.
40 years old and still in service...
very good video thank you for sharing
Never pressure the workers with time restraints so they can do 100% quality work, I'm guessing these projects always go beyond the specified completion date.
It is the ship yard themselves who determine if they are able to do the job and if they can do the job within the time frame that is described in the bidding project. It is a hard international competition for such projects. If the work done by the yard is not finish within the contract date they have to pay a daily heavy fine....
This reminds me that any thing is possible
Really awesome documentary 😍
Absolutely woderful. award winning documentary. god bless.
Not documentary ....just drama production.
Mega Mega Mega Pitstop's ohhhh yeah! Woooooh!
I never know that ships can be rebuilt like that. Interesting.
Kashif Nawaz hey you look like my barber.
@@shawnhambler you lookllike my driver
james lee you look like a J
@Magos DominusSo, lets weld two ships together like X. Just because we can. Thanks to modular technique.
(Don't get that negativetly)
Man.. That’s responsibility !!
This is terrifying. I like it.
Konten yang sangat bagus untuk kita semua... Teruskan la dalam berbagi
Vielen Dank allen Mitarbeiter/in mit Umbauen bestätigen der Fähigkeit Fach Ausweis.....
STUNNING. SIMPLY STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT.
The only stunning here are that you seem so clueless.... The extension of the ship is nothing exceptional or new....it's a common thing to do in the industry.
Love the documentary ... absolutely loathe the over-dramatization of the narrative.
It could sink ! The whole project could fail !...yada yada yada.
Keep it real folks. This is a complicated project and things will happen.
The engineers deal with these as they occur and correct as necessary.
The narrative cheapens the presentation.
Because he is from USA, dramatic.
@@sjefhendrickx2257 .. the narrator does not write the script. He reads off what was given to him by the script writers, and approved by the producers. What country he is from therefore has nothing to do with it.
The time constraint angle is being murdered. Tight schedule, time is at a premium, this might mean a delay, working all hours, the program is critical, a breakdown would mean disaster, we have found a problem, we're playing the waiting game... children may die! It's the same as any other project and the job gets done.
These narrators hype everything to blazes. It's nonsense. Been there. Done that. Got the teeshirt.
Glad someone mentioned it. These documentaries can be far better if the narration didn't make everything over dramatic.
its because those narrators are inexperienced in the field they are posting about and for what ever reason seem to think every move angle "or other" is extreme.. because they themselves have never seen such a thing. lol although normal, in most working industries... far from extreme..
This is what I enjoy most about braindead shows like. tow truckers or whatever it's called. dude towing a tractor up a ditch and the narrator is like "if this wire snaps, it could sling across and cut everyone in half.
like, bitch, that wire can withhold like 120 tons. unless that tractor had the engine size of a cruise ship and you're tugging a mountain you'll be good.
Petter Rakstad Solberg lmao
@@Take_Flight465 ...yeah...well..... anything is being twisted into drama when there are Americans behind the production...whatever topic....
Great Job.
BC Ferries needs 2 of them
wonderfull work
Not even 3 minutes in when "time, is running short". The overly dramatized narratives are the worst thing in these documentary series.
I agree
Blame the Brits for setting the standards
It's meant for American audiences, they like this kind of thing
I totaly am on your site. These guys try to dramatise the program all the time. In my opinion they waste many a good documentary
Raymond 🏴
I readily agree with you on that subject,it seems to me that most documentaries are guilty of the same thing.
Excellent work.
Wanderful work!
wonderful to ! :) except the narration... some of the worst I have heard. and the voice overs. top notch... not.
Ein Braves Kind geblieben bin......
So lucky I've subscribed
Awesome video!!!
U must call it the Peter Pan 2 the sequel! haha
that's one hell of a set of pontoons
This kind of elongation is common in the
Port Weller dry dock At lock one of the Welland Canal.
many lakers are made longer to expand cargo capacity. this will also increase the , maximum speed under full power.
41:28 that electrical spaghetti gave me ptsd to my apprenticeship
WOW, so this is what my grandfather did before his job was shipped to Europe.
Keren kapalnya gede banget 👍👍👍
Worker: "We're trained to fix any problems as they arise".
Narrator: PROBLEMS! CREWS AT BREAKING POINT! WILL THEY MURDER EACH OTHER? WILL THE SHIP EXPLODE? STAY TUNED!!!!
Thas USA, full of drama, the worker is a normal person from Germany.
Also, sabotage!
*The real deal here is the Engine Department when the sea trial comes, as an Engineer this is our nightmare. Knowing the fault and errors of all the machines and tuning it all. After all of that we clean.*
Vielen Dank ......Intelligent Jobs.........Alles Jungs & Mödchen......
Football fields and A380s again... meters and tons would make sense for normal people...
pfft, you seriously need to get up to date, the new standard is African white rhino and orca whales for weight and measurements... such a frenchie for wanting "MeTrIc..."
Whatever do you mean…football fields and A380s are the gold standard of measurements. African Rhinos and Orcas are the old measurements when ships were made of wood. With time, things have to change buddy.
@@rahul11103 aight… I give up guys… at least gimme something that I can relate to as well… like barrels of beer 🍺
1:16 VIXEN INTRO SONG!!! omg
Super.
These are entertaining
Crisis after crisis, how they manage to sleep at night ??? :)
"It will be inserted into Peter pan as a finished part."
Vivek 😂😂😂
Vivek lol
My god!!,! Will nothing save our Peter????
Awesome
Hi
With a name like Peter Pan you would think this would be an aircraft and not a ship. I gather this ferry company has a second ship named Superman.
The vessel currently serves my home town Rostock on the Trelleborg service.. It's now called Tinker Bell.
According to the guys who are working on that ship. The project was overrun with 6 month and the shipyard went bankrupt. Still today it has mayor issues with grounding faults
More details on that please, any news articles you can link us too?
It was already a monstrosity and after the modifications even less seaworthy.
More like Godzilla than Peter Pan.
It became too long. They decided to remove part of the front and caused water leak into engine room
@@_Meng_Lan Your information is accurate. This is the ship that I just worked with in the drydock this January, we released her just two weeks ago. We repainted the hull and changed her name.
30:25 It's propeller could rip open the floating system, huh? Doesn't the guy know where a propeller of a tug is mounted?
Yeah I thought the same thing
not the narrator's fault that the script writers are clueless. He just reads what he gets on paper.
Good👍
im one of the few 100 people on the whole earth who has watched this video until now
you _are_ so special
@@OldMcHorny no i just got lucky getting this in my recomended before others
And why does the algorithm prefere you?
@@OldMcHorny cause i like these kind of stuff
At least one person cared. Quite an achievement.
Wow amazing. I have a Pinisi Boat UNESCO Heritage. Maaf Inggris saya jelek 😆
Hi
@@umerkhan6689
Hi, how are you? 😁
A little over the top on drama, but still a great documentary. Thanks
I have seen and been onboard tugs doing dry docking many times and have never seen the ship use it’s own power.tugs and shore power uesd.
Sangat sangat bagus 👍
2008 in Vietnam, we do like this projects at ship yard Hyundai-vinashin company
Nice doc, BUT it’s most defenitely NOT the first time done. The Stena Brittanica and Hollandica were also lengthened a couple of years ago 😉
the late '70s was in finish docks made first ship longer same method.
@@SFtruckerWolf WW2 surplus Liberty ships were "jumboized" after the war to add additional cargo room. This is nothing new or unique
@@danielh4995 sorry my bad outcoming. I mean the Finish docks made their first ship longer.
Please pass on my thumbs up to the people involved in achieving this from an oldish seadog
is there any Filipino crew on that ship..if there have..i proud to be a Filipino seafarers..
To show you the power of flex tape...
I wish I could get a new bulbos bow, mine is worn out dut to age!
This was a job for flex seal
..to it´s home port - Travemunde.
You are incorrect here. Peter Pan´s home port is Trelleborg
I am surprised they didn't upgrade the engine pods
a few items overlooked to make it easier
When the demand CALLS for expansion, LITERALLY!
Christmas spirit there.
The beautiful of science
The standard rectangle shape of the new section does not seem to be the same as that shown in orange at about 41:30. Not sure how the kickback part is added?
I agree
I've got to stop warching these, my nerves are shredded. So a load more car passengers are going to be squeezed into the same size public area!!
It's mostly to increase cargo capacity, not really for passenger cars so that's not a huge concern. Plus this ship operates routes less than 4h long
I think they said something about 4km of welding.
One technical questions as it's modified biger then why not upgrade the engine as mentioned more loading capacity of car then why engine is not change or upgrade
Catastrophic! my description of the narration and sfa to do with a bit of sea mist best watched with the sound off
Good doco, i always like how they make everything dramatic. The way these documentaries are scripted and tense music is added😅.. they can put people on the edge by just explaining how a mouse farts 💨 ..
[tense music]..Mouse will have to fart in 10secs or it will miss its deadline.
The mouse is 1/1000 of the football field and in a critical position...any excess pressure the mouse will pop its eyes out. After lots of preparation and low margin of error, the mouse places itself in farting position... [music intensifies]..It is time for the first attempt. Oh no! mouse cant lift its one leg, its stuck in the tar. [nail biting music and close-up]. .. mouse pushes hard and manages to lift the othet leg and poof 💨. Success! The mega pit-stop has been sucessful. The mouse lives another day to come back and do this all over again later.
yeah narrator even translated "it needs to fit more or less" into "we need to be EXTREMELY precise" xd
1:20 why do I recognise the background music?
