In this video members of the Ceiba team discuss installing the ballast keel. This is a huge piece of the ship and took a lot of care to be installed. Stay to the end to see what will be coming next in the construction process! Our Corporate Director John Porras talks about the environmental impact assessment that is being conducted for the launch preparation.

Have you considered the hydrodynamic aspect of that vertical crossbracing in the keel-beams?

@MrWokyman 2 жыл бұрын

As a total layman, are you kindly able to expand on what this means, thanks. Sounds like something relating to movement of water around the structure, and the knock-on effect this will have on controlling the movement of the boat?

@jonahblondelle3775 2 жыл бұрын

I remember they said on their social media that they would pour cement or a metal in the gaps of the I-beam so that the keel-beam would be more hydrodynamic and havier also. Correct me if I am wrong!

@@jonahblondelle3775 I don't follow the project on SoMe, but to anybody who has at any point in time dipped his/her toes in water this must be obvious. Absolutely no floating vessel on this planet has been or is constructed with 'breakpads' as the keel sits now. Ofc they will encapsulate the keel and I find the method the designer has come up with brilliant. If the cement/metal isn't enough it can somewhat easily be replaced with heavier lead within each square section and without removing the keel from the vessel. Cool.

Will the I beams be filled with lead, or is it just the steel as ballast? DId you calculate the stress on the keel bolts when the ship is tilted, since the keel (I beams) is quite narrow. Th emore narrow the keel the higher the stress on the bolts due to the shorter leverage.

Even if they did box it in It would eventually fill with sea water and rust out from within. Very bad choice in ballast keel.

@werner134897 2 жыл бұрын

I was wondering that too. Also I think these I beams are more narrow than regular ballast keels from e.g. lead? The more narrow the keel the higher the stress on the bolts when the ship is heavily tilting.

@skylar7320 2 жыл бұрын

I beams in the orientation they have will have very low cross section drag and only mild surface drag. And steel with proper primer and bottom coat paint will last quite long and can also have active or passive galvanic protection to extend that further. Plenty of steel ships out there doing just fine in the salt.

@skylar7320 2 жыл бұрын

@Interstellar Traveler you mean untreated bare mild steel? sure. Could also be a more corrosion resistant alloy than just mild steel. Or maybe they paint it and haul out for bottom maintenance like any other vessel.

@@w124mercedes7 from the load of steel received that is just the core of the ballast keel it will have lead in the pockets and rebar welded around it then all encapsulated in concrete. Actually a pretty well thought out idea as it will stiffen the hull nicely. Also remember that they put a rubber membrane between the hull and double I beam. As they said this kind of hull historically wouldn't have had a bilge keel, they are adding it so the ship will sail better & hog/sag less.

As I understand it the balance is supposed to be about 30 tons and the steel is about five or 6 tons, but I guess my Spanish isn't good enough to figure out where the missing 25 tons is coming from or where it's going. Well another shitty video.

@w124mercedes7 2 жыл бұрын

You are right. The keel is far too light. I have seen 25ft sail boats with allot more ballast keel. Not to mention it is going to rust very fast unless they use grounded system connecting all of the steel. That boat should have a solid lead keel that goes from stem to stern. I would have used concrete instead of i.beams. not even 1/10 the ballast they need. Im sure they will learn this when launched.
