sound like you learned something in each step

Regimeshifts well when I read a title that says 'how container ships work'..... I expect to be at least told about the locking pins they use to stack them. Or how they have to be balanced on the ship. But instead of learning things about containers, we learned about how bananas are shipped. That should of been the title 'how bananas are shipped in shipping containers'. And by no means was I complaining, I'm a geek I like these types of videos, I was just pointing out the obvisous.

He really should have named it something like how the economics of container ships work or why they are so profitable. That's really what this video was about using bananas as an example.

hey ,if anyone else wants to discover best container home designs try Sovallo Container Build Fixer (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got cool success with it.

though

Look up JeffHK on youtube

I agree. This video was not good, at least, not according to the title.

well, that would be how containers works, not the ships

I work for a freight forwarding company so I don't know much about what happens on the actual ships but I have some insight in the industry. The colours are just different shipping companies, eg at 5:00 on the right you can see a Maersk container (Maersk is the biggest in the world) along with CMA CGM in blue and MSC in yellow, 7:31 Evergreen. Once the ship arrives, giant cranes load and unload the containers, theres actually a lot of planning that goes into how to stack them, because some are coming off and others go on, and they need to make sure the weight is evenly distributed over the ship so theres no imbalance. The workers at the dock never know whats in them, they just need to know container numbers and where they need to go. Then freight forwarders like us come into play and we hire trucking companies to go pickup the containers then deliver them to the client. A quick video on the history of containerization if you are interested. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdRnfNKFxL23gnU.html I agree that this isn't really what I was expecting from the video but I hope I answered some of your questions.

Wasn't about bananas. Didn't even mention that Cavendish is actually Banana 2.0. Banana 1.0 (Gros Michel) succumbed to blight and became a generally unsustainable crop. Banana 3.0 is already appearing in Asian markets.

Related, if you want a different feel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJOKps6S1qjXmKc.html

That is still a small number of people.

@@garethbaus5471 yep, but the precision in itself in useful!

To steer, navigate, maintain the engines, and cook for everyone?

Just imagine the absolute mayhem aboard that ship having 13 young women running around in their bras and panties tickling each other whilst trying to be productive and hard working at the same time.

They go choo choo

I literally did that 😂

oui merci

Wow , it sounds natural at even 1.25x

I always play at 2 ..

in compared to other modes of transport they do. if you take in account that one ship only has one or two engines running in order to keep moving like 20.000 containers. for the same amount you will need about 20.000 trucks or 2.000 trains. the overall cost will be much higher on the others in total for the same amount of product. A ship on the move can by large even just sail it self. the idiot on the bridge is payed more to keep awake and don't touch anything. the ship can be maintained in the mean time while it is moving. You can't really do that with a train or truck. they need to be complete stationary the least if not taking in to the repair shop.

sirBrouwer I do realise that, I’m a 2nd engineer on a container vessel, just found it quite amusing as it certainly doesn’t feel like that when you’re on day 3 of an M/E overhaul 😂

@@scottwhitley3392 that is the problem of being the 2nd engineer. You will have to do the work and with luck you have a 3rt to help you. while the 1st is drinking coffee at his desk and getting the praise for the work you are doing. it's even more nuts when you are working on a dredging ship. you are constantly deliberately destroying your pipelines with all the sand you are pumping around.

@@sirBrouwer, actually self driving trains and trucks are going to be a thing pretty soon, and they won't require much attention at all except maintenance and on/offloading.

​@@sirBrouwer Since a European freight train (according to google) is about 750 meter (or 123 20 foot container lengths), and the overhead is pretty small, I think you got your figure wrong. At 100 containers per train, it would be 200 trains. That is how much more efficient trains are than trucks. In US trains are around three times longer, so we are down to 70 trains per ship.

Thank you!

You are a civilised man/women/toaster

David Mejía haha yes. Look at me, I am very smart because I am using a derogatory term to describe people that use government mandated measurements! Yes! I am very smart.

DarktrooperDalek Did he describe the people using the unit, or perhaps the unit itself? And btw, Celsius is a more practical and logical system of measurement.

Yeah, I know it is. I don’t think he should be using derogatory slurs like that to describe anything.

@@samevans1672 Welp, now people would click that.

Arno Wisp they won’t, why learn about how the American government took over and controlled all the fruit coming from South America because they seen the profit margin.

Because the video isn’t about bananas

I would say he has access to that information: he doesn't necessarily remember. And while he reviews and signs off on loading instructions, I'll bet the loading instructions are actually drawn up by a computer. And his point still holds: most of the crew has no need for that information and possibly can't even access it.

SpyOne I mean, he obviously can’t rattle everything off immediately. But a 2/M with any semblance of competency will thoroughly review the manifest and stowage plan before sailing, not just “sign off”. You are right though that the rest of the crew won’t know most of it. Mostly just the guys who temp check the reefers. Also each container has its contents clearly marked, so if the crew REALLY wanted to know they could, in theory, check them. Although some ships carry upwards of 20,000 TEU so that gets less and less practical all the time.

We only know what's inside Dangerous Good and Reefer containers. For normal dry containers, there usually is no info about the contents in the manifests. If the Chief Mate wanted to know what's inside a non DG, non Reefer container he had to contact the Charterer/Shipping company. And even this information is not always reliable.... a cargo declarated as bananas might in fact be weapons... customs don't check all boxes. The weight too was mostly an estimate until two years ago a new regulation made it mandatory to verify each containers gross mass by weighting before loading.

To add, the general load plan given to crew members and longshoremen working the vessel only show the necessary information about a box: it's size, if it's a reefer or not, whether it is empty or full, hazmat considerations and destination port. A checker can get more info by running the containers number if necessary but most people involved do not know the contents of the containers.

They have no actual clue of what is being shipped. Whatever its in is declared by the shipper or the freight forwarder and can be a total lie as far as they can check. The ctrn is only checked on delivery by the local authorities.

True.

Well in all fairness it wouldn't take him "a few seconds", at least a few minutes but that's me just me being silly, I actually agree with what you mean.

Abolish imperial units, I want to see them burn

Gtfoh

Yessss.. has to pause the video to work out what that American unit is. Apparently 55F is cold...

yea the "nope" is preety confusing, because i always thought that stage 7 is the perfect stage

arbadas number 7 is the perfect stage to eat, not to be shipped worldwide before reaching the shelves

arbadas *bananas are rich in potassium and low in calorie but when it’s become too ripe, the potassium is almost broken down and converted into sugars and all you get is soggy, sugar rich food.*

I like them after they escape green

In fact where I'm from (the Canary Islands - bananas is our biggest crop) they're considered more desirable when they reach 7.

@@benitollan I agree. They are best when they get a bit brown.

Daniel Bolstad that’s nasty

@Dylan B you realize only the peel is brown and the core is intact? even fully brown peels can have perfectly preserved interior. people are wasteful and encourage companies to spray produce with all kinds of nasty shit just to keep their appearance "fresh". not to mention supermarkets throw away perfectly good produce for the slightest imperfections because ignorant consumers only buy things as they seen them in pictures.

MMMM seven would be reasonable if you weren't eating the banana plane, we use them for bread at that pount

Some of the giant ships that come over the lake towards Milwaukee are HUGE.

After watching another video on this topic from Wendover Productions ( I think ) I actually believe the container and thus the ship and all the shipping proces is the base of the economy

Years ago I was an Assistant Manager in a convenience store and a district supervisor was talking with the other Assistant Manager about ways we might improve, and apparently the supervisor felt we weren't letting the bananas ripen enough before putting them out while the AM was saying that our customers didn't want riper bananas and wouldn't buy them. I happened to be passing by and the supervisor gestured to the green-ish yellow bananas we had out (stage 3 in this video) and said "Who wants to buy a banana like this?" "Our customers. Go figure." was my reply. So the supervisor accepted that the AM was right: our customers wanted green bananas for some reason, and would not buy them once they turned yellow.

yeah, but that's not really an excuse to disconnect from the rest of the world like that, there are many other US based youtube channels that use both measurements or only metric, so the rest of the world can also understand

For containers they are described as 20-foot, 40-foot, or less commonly 45-ft and then as standard (8foot 6 inch) high or HyCube (9foot 6inch) high. I suppose you could describe the smaller container as a 6.096 meter container and the next bigger one as a12.192 meter container, but people in the industry even outside the US would look at you funny. Just as distances in the maritime industry are in Nautical Miles and speeds as Nautical Miles per Hour (knots). A Nautical Mile is 6,000 feet or 1000 fathoms.
