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.

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....

I swear the drama thou 😅

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

...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.

elegy slp lmao

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.....

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.

Not documentary ....just drama production.

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....

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.

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

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....

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 🍺

12:54 😂

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.

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)

Thas USA, full of drama, the worker is a normal person from Germany.

Also, sabotage!

I work on a project that was planned by the management to be ready in 6 months originally and they even claimed that not one but two products will be developed at the same time. After 6 moths it became clear that even the basic preparation work wouldn't be finished on time let alone to start the work on the essential parts. Do you know when was that? 2017 So they hired even external contractors and one manager woman even told them to work in their pauses non-stop. Then I got involved. The project is still going on. From what I know the final product should roll on in 2021-23... I don't know exactly. I have the feeling that these unrealistic time constraints are for managers to win bonuses and/or to pressure the workers.

@@Zingam so basically they were taking the piss

David Sewell well as some of the people commenting here I agree that sometimes its just plain impossible planning done by “Academics” who keeps insisting it should be doable because it works on their computer models and on paper! Then when the actual experts the people who actually build the projects gets the plan’s, they will have to come back and explain to the bosses, that this plan is impossible to implement in reality! Often because “Academics” in their programs and on paper doesn’t take 50% of actual parameters that occurs and impacts the project in reality! I’ve seen it so often, and often the “Academics” have a high education and zero experience they are often regarded as superior than the actual experts! But there are also the fact that when a company bid on a contract and they say that they can do it in let’s say 90 days, then the buyer plan accordingly into their own schedule and sell to their customers! If your promised product or service isn’t done by those 90 days. Then there are paid Compensation for every single day/hour until the product is delivered! And its not a small amount of money we are talking about! Just an example. I used to work for gate gourmet “Air plane food” If the food wasn’t delivered and onboard on the time that was agreed. It would costs the company around 2000USD pr. Minute it was delayed! maximum delay time possible 6 min. 15K in compensation for the airline And the plane would take off. So if you promise something in a certain time then you have to deliver at that time even if you have to hire workers to work nighttime to do it because crossing that deadline will costs you significantly more!

@@Zingam youre not working on the NHS are you lol. Sounds like typical management yeah yeah we can do this in 6 months. Actual reality proves them wrong time and time again

With respect sir . We are talking about contracts with penalty clauses . With ships there is no such thing as a couple of hours . If you miss the tide then it's twelve . If you can only enter port on a neap tide then it's a fortnight . In order to save money the job is limited so that the ship can return to work before the losses start adding up . Also the floating dock costs are prohibitive and probably prebooked so time limited

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.

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.

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.

Hi

@@umerkhan6689 Hi, how are you? 😁

Vivek 😂😂😂

Vivek lol

My god!!,! Will nothing save our Peter????

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.

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

USA

wonderful to ! :) except the narration... some of the worst I have heard. and the voice overs. top notch... not.

I agree
