- Exceptional Engineering: High-Tech and Manual Work - The Construction of a Cruise Liner
In the Meyer Shipyard in Lower Saxony, the world's first natural gas cruise liner is under construction: the AIDAnova. There is room for up to 6,600 passengers, a television broadcast studio and a theater on the 337 meter long ship.
Needless to say, production of the giant ocean liner is a technical and logistical challenge, and comprised of approximately 15 million individual parts.

Who thinks Free Documentary deserves more attention on TH-cam for their great documentaries.
They don't produce these docs. They just post pirated shows.
@@sleeptyper they probably have the rights to post it otherwise they would be banned.
@@flyagaric007 Personally, i doubt it. Getting rights to all the docs on this channel costs a lot of money and TH-cam income is very small unless you have millions of views per upload. Besides, TH-cam is well known for it's inability to automatically monitor non-music piracy. Takedowns happen only if the rights owner a) notices and b) bothers to report the show.
Love this
giloni jones couldn’t agree more
This is by far the best ship building documentary I've ever watched! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Ol....dogomantare.......canal.....I....lieku
I've seen better. UK documentary about building the QM2 for example.
And how’s that working out for you?
8p by
I was onboard when it was going thru finishing built, it was amazing.
Ah yes. Ready just in time for the year 2020 - a memorable year in the cruise industry.
It showed the bit where they were celebrating the start of a new ship, and I had to see what the comments would say...
Actually the first cruise was on december 2018, so she had a couple of years to earn some money to the company before the world went crazy.
Well that was no joke. It tuly was
@@johndoesen1718 earn money? Nah, it probably didn’t even pay for itself yet
@@johndoesen1718 Well, she had about 15 months of service before the cruise lines shut down...
A good example on how you can make a nice documentary without excessive drama. Like notice how the days remaining to the deadline are mentioned but there is no "any delay could be catastrophic", "will the engine be ready on time?", "a mistake now could spell doom for the project", etc etc
I bet it's not an american production
Facts, kept it plain and simple.
So true
its German.. simple and on point :)
"If Becker Doesn't stop eating oysters, Becker will gain weight. If Becker gains weight, the ship will begin to sink. If the ship begins to sink, the entire project will be a failure!" hahaha
I wholeheartedly agree - the fabricated drama needlessly ruined so many “educational” programs.
as a writer, i admire and appreciate the high quality script writing and polished narration
It is amazing that that Engine is assembled by just two guys in 25 days.
Well... to my mind that's one of the least amazing things about this project. Those guys knew just what they were doing, had great tools for the job and everything they needed.... it would actually be a pretty cool job!
6 mechanics couldn't even do that with a car engine. 🤣🤣🤣
how many women would it take? lol
@@hygrometer if they are qualified? I would say 2, PLEASE LOVE YOU'RE NEIGHBOURS 🙏💕💖❌⭕🙏
@@yogiesbeer5833 Your not you're...
Producer: how many songs do you want in this?
Sound guy: yes
I've been building a high-end custom homes and log cabins for 38 years and I could not even imagine the headache it would be to try to manage that build in that amount of time. PS I Love Your solution of getting the tugboat out. It's nice to see real pride in construction like it used to be when I was actually working. Good job man well done.
This truly is a marvel of imagination, design, engineering, technology and construction, and stands as a testament of the collective and individual skills that made it possible!
There isn't any aspect of this vessel that wouldn't benefit from an in depth documentary of it's own, be it the dome, theatrium or the fresh water making capabilities!
It is impossible not to be fascinated, impressed and overwhelmed at what it took to create this floating marvel in such a remarkably short time!
My ideal cruise would consist of in depth 'behind the scenes' tours of all the things that make the ship possible, from the domed roof to keel, bow to stern and port to starboard!
Thank you for this fascinating insight into this beautiful vessel!
Felix Cat I would watch how everything was made if it took a month.
Wow, I am blown away. It's insanely incredible how all of this was engineered and put together. That's one amazing looking ship, with so much technology on board.
And I have to say, this has been the most fascinating ship building documentary I have ever seen. With most others the only important thing seems to be all the unnecessary and fake drama. So a big thumbs up to this channel for bringing solid videos which we can all enjoy to watch! :)
No unnecessary "drama" included. Great documentary!
Free Documentary ... it's like Discovery channel, before it became a soap series channel
it still has some bad documentaries
@@eduardogodoy8438
Some of the commentary is nonsense 😂
So basically it took 2 years to film this documentary. Great stuff and learned a lot. It's just insane to think that even though the ship is built in sections and there are many subcontractors all of the piping, wiring and trim fit precisely. How you even being to co-ordinate this process from start to finish is insane but I'm glad there are people smart enough to do this.
It's insane. Just sourcing the materials, parts, etc, the amount of work involved is hard to overstate. Obviously it's a team effort, but still, coordinating everything... I feel insignificant after watching this.
and here i am impressed with myself for putting together a desk.
We all have different skills, you did an excellent job
If the furniture came from IKEA they’d still be trying to understand the instructions!
Great documentary, I like that you identified challenges, but did not over dramatize them, or that you didn’t create false drama’s.
I love cruise ship building documentaries! I watch every single one I can get my hands on. There aren't many out there, but there are a few, and I will try to watch them all!
I can honestly say that I enjoyed watching this documentary a second time even more than I did the first!
How utterly incredible that this could go from a set of plans to a licensed, seaworthy commercial vessel in such a short space of time!
in many ways this is more impressive than building an airliner, because of the dimensions and size of handling such a colossus
in many ways this is more impressive than building an airliner, because of the dimensions and size of handling such a colossus
Easy to build a ship where weight is of no concern. Airliners, different story.
@@tomrogers9467 building light comes down more to the material sciences. but yes thats a good point
Agree, with regard to the actual construction process, but don't forget the level of safety and redundancy required for building an aircraft. A ship will generally survive fine with multiple malfunctions. An airliner, not so much. I guess they are just hard to compare.
When you look at all the switches, all the valves, all the lights, circuits, wiring, plumbing, fittings, and etcetera, is anyone else damn impressed the whole thing actually works, and works well?
2019: cruise ships being built to make money
2020: cruise ships being destroyed to save money.
Whats next, in 2022 they sell this ship for scrap already?
2023 they use it to mine crypto for buying legal cocaine
good thing it was sailing in 2018
A logistical nightmare, hats off to those dudes for assembling it all together....
It's amazing how these cruise liners are built. Thanks for the excellent video.
These documentaries should be shown in schools so children can see what other careers are possible...children can dream .I am seeing so many different professions that i never dreamed possible. Isaid professions and not just jobs.
Superinteresting! I just love binge watching these construction videos.
I like how they tell the narrator to make new voices for different people.
Wow. This is the most impressive engineering marvel episode I've ever seen. Bravo!
Extraordinary achievement. Brilliant documentary.
F*k!
How anyone can plan and coordinate such a task?
Absolutely incredible!
It is amazing what humans can create and achieve when they are motivated.
InfiniteMushroom you must be brain dead
It’s called a paycheck and for these folks, I think we can throw in “pride in workmanship”
Germans make all the cool stuff.
to bad they are going extinct
Dat Sun, extinct? 🤣🤣🤣
BTW, are you a brexiteer by any chance?
E to be in
Why they just not use German parts. Why use Metal parts.
Uhm. Most of the workers are foreign.
Beautiful ship, right up to the point they put lips on it...
Agree
Yes that's a bit over the top...... just some color splash would have been all it needed.
OK first off, hats off to the amazing engineers, and construction staff, heavy engineering at its best, and OK it is powered by LPG.
But most cruise liners are disgusting heavy polluters burning the most appalling fuel.
Wish we could use this amazing talent to solve the real problems we face.
Thanks for a very well produced video.
you mean LNG
@@AbdulQadir-vl4bz Yep LNG it is,my mistake. But still main comment was RFO, or HFO, or whatever you might call it is still a horrible fuel.
Thanks for the correction.
Thank you for posting something like this on TH-cam we learned a lot.
The level of time management and coordination is mind blowing.
I love doc's. I get to see what goes into construction & engineering of these massive marvels
Take a shot everytime someone says "to the exact milimeter"
Are you crazy?! We’ll all die of overdose
@@macabre6847 unless your irish, russian, or german
That gigantic hangar, covering the entire shipyard? The crane overhead?
Wow, you could do a documentary about that alone.
I was just thinking that. The operations, deployment, training and servicing alone would be awesome.
Wow , this new technology blows me away , well done one and all !
These videos are so amazing. Love learning new things!
Just astonishing! I can’t begin to imagine how this can possibly be done.
American guy working at Free Documentary: 'Ok fine, the hull sections will be pulled together millimetre by millimetre, but once it's welded it's still going to be bigger than 5 soccer fields'
I'm so happy to see these films translated from German🇩🇪, thank you so much!!
Danke.
Mind bogglingly complex and amazing. Nothing but respect and awe is deserved.
Masterpiece👏🏻👏🏻
Could you imagine one of those engines backfiring it would sound like the world is about to end
This is a great Docunentary! Very well explained, and detailed. Lots information on modern ship building 👌
Awesome Documentary. This ship. definitely looks like a masterpiece.
Marvelous Guys!! You're doing superb job. Best wishes to the team😇😇
The magnitude of this project is astonishing.
Wow what an amazing process.
Most amazing engineering documentary i have ever seen in my life😍😍
Truly amazing to see it come together. The Germans know how to build quality items
The magnitude of this ship is mind blowing.
Seeing Effective Management is a treat.
@Robert hello,how are you doing
No ones gonna give the two men who put the engines together props 😮
No, the props go on the back of the ship! That was a different part of the video.
I was onboard this ship when it was still being furnished and decorated. It was in Eemshaven, HUGE BEAST.
Also something to know: While the ship has the ability to run 100% on LNG, it doesn't because it costs the company a pretty penny :)
48:00 The food for the crew on AIDA is widely regarded as one of the best in industry, whereas other companies don't particularly care for the look or the taste and only do a bare minimum. I have so many horror stories to tell aboard many of the companies I worked for.
LNG is competitive, remember this ship seems to take takes diesel fuel DFO as alternative to LNG but not heavy HDO, 40% cheaper than DFO but requiring large fuel treatment and care. I guess LNG is not available in all ports and sufficient amount...yet...
@@philgooddr.7850 The company always has the ability to order refuel of LNG in most ports. They don’t do it because it’s expensive.
@@serious_filip522 Wasn't it also insanely expensive to give the ship the ability to run on LNG? You would think they must use it sometimes else why bother wasting all the money on it?
Plus no LNG engine can run all on LNG. To start up more cylinders, they feed it a richer mix of fuel to kick start the combustion. I wonder why they don't fit bigger turbos to make a smaller engine and boost performance but then again ship weight seems an afterthought.
Look at all these hard working people achieving amazing things... and then there is me watching TH-cam and achieving nothing.
I watch youtube as part of my relaxation. You contribute, you achieve, so don't undervalue yourself. We can't always be where or what we are, but celebrate those who through hard work & luck get the breaks.
Stephen your wrong,
Without an audience there would be no point in making the video and people would be out of a job. So thank you for you part in contributing to society. We all have our own specialty, weather it’s big or small. Your part of the process.
raised an awesome kid now a civil engineer, deserve my chill
Don’t feel bad, there are entire nations of people achieving nothing. One continent of nations which shall remain nameless has more natural resources than most nations on the planet but their people are uneducated, superstitious and living hand to mouth.
I am a fan of free documentary!
Best documentary Channel on TH-cam
Big respect for German engineers
Fun fact, AIDAnova's sistership, the Costa Smeralda was finished last week. Made in Meyer Turku, the finnish shipyard Meyer bought a few years ago. The next one, Mardi Gras will be finished in september probably.
I live in Turku, tried to watch it leaving, it was supposed to leave at 2 pm a week ago but then it left about twelve hours later than planned
Big..estap......big..popail.....wll
The ship AidaNova now anchorage next in my ship here in Tenerife, we already lay up more than a year due a global pandemic...hope we will back in service soon💪
Thanks for showing this documentary.. i learn a lot to this ..i understand a lot because I am a mechanical engineer.. once again thank you for showing this documentary..
I was hoping to see the dyno curve on that motor.
42:52 15,442kw @ 514rpm dyno curve = high lol
Minnesota Acoustic it starts at 500rpm so it’s curve is only 14rpm
All you need to know is, that it's..
HHHYYUUUUUUUUGE.
LOL Let's just say that it makes ALOT of power and torque! They're typically only used to generate electricity for use by the azipods (the rotating pods that hang under the stern of the ship that contain the electric motors that turn the propellers, gone are the days of propeller shafts and rudders, all maneuvering is done via the azipods on modern cruise ships. I haven't seen the propulsion design of this ship yet, but that's how Oasis of the Seas was constructed.
Update: Yeah, the ships uses two azipods...I had to double check myself so I didn't look like a moron giving out bad information...
Drive: diesel/electric: 4 Dual-Fuel Caterpillar/MAK diesel engines. Total installed power 61.760 kW. - Propulsion: by 2 ABB azipods - power each 18.500 kW by variable rpm. depending on frequency - Max.Speed: knots.- Service Speed: 17 knots
The ballast must be phenomenal...soo top heavy looking... engineering design has gotten to such a high level... its amazing
This truly is a marvel of imagination, design, engineering, technology and construction, and stands as a testament of the collective and individual skills that made it possible!

@@trevonjustus3037 We think alike, friend. I’ve been on several cruises and to be able to go on one like you described would be amazing. A stern to butt access and information pass for guest to see operation and use would blow peoples minds. Nice thinking!
@@tjtrent2351 I hate watching sports and when I have gone to races, the best part is watching the mechanics in the pits. My career is building, repairing, and designing. My hobbies are similar and I do compete in shooting competitions which I load my own ammo for, but I get bored watching competitors do their runs. With all of the documentaries I have watched, I have probably seen enough to cover many of the systems on the ship.
What a gigantic work they do!
Wow! I am very impressed by this engineering effort. Good job!
I Love This Channel 🇩🇴✌🏽💯
Man, if I were a mere busboy in the restaurant, I would take so much pride in being part of such a magnificent vessel, with many first for cruise ships.
What a masterpiece of technology.
Amazing technology, beautiful documentary. Makes me wonder how many nations on our planet are this capable.
WOW....I am impressed with the technology and coordination of the building process on such a beautiful luxury liner. Makes me want to book a cruise on this particular liner!

I agree with hell being an American wife. Isnt that the truth!
Facing French cops is hell right now.
Always a joy watching
Translation on point. Good work overall!
“Ships are still being built as they were [in the old days] ... by a giant Robot!”

It is amazing that that Engine is assembled by just two guys in 25 days.
Great documentary, thank you
That, was fascinating...thank you.
I would dread to be in the design team who drafted up that CAD simulation video of the ship

It looks like Captain Boris has his own bulbous bow!
He dines with guests constantly and revels in sea stories..... it's a job requirement.
Michael Mccarthy, I never thought about all those boring dinners he has to endure. He probably eats as a defense mechanism. The good thing about it is if he ever has to go down with his ship he’ll float like a cork!
A sedentary job like a ship captain sitting at the helm doesn't help one bit.....
At least, since it is an Italian owner they didn’t hire Shittino to Captain!
Love the Tech,....beautiful ship. Like the ''ART''.
ThnXs for the Share.
Excellent! No other words necessary.
I love this channel. The most interesting docs. Thank you!
great documentary but whoever does your back ground music needs to be fired
its just your f* humble opinion you mean, right?
Fabulous project, fabulous video. I might even want to ride on this thing some day.
That was excellent
Cruise ships of today are looking less and less like ships and increasingly like a hotel-resorts on fancy barges.
Yeah I find the classic oceanliners look much better
The Eiffel tower is riveted construction, not welded.
Thomas Conrow I literally just stopped the video to look after this thing about the video
Thomas Conrow ...Absolutely...
2.5 million rivets lol
The Eiffel Tower: How was it built? ... As the tower grew, moveable platforms were propped into place on the intermediary levels, not only to enable the workforce to weld the latticework together but for their own safety.
I remember they used cylinders filled with sand to level the legs, let out sand slowly and the legs would drop until they were level
This is Epic! In Every way!
Amazing cut and shut.
This channel deserves more subs and viewers but the world is behind immature rappers and brainless celebrities

from a point of view of someone that loves anything to do with engineering, although not clever enough to be an engineer, this blows my mind with the tolerances to 100th of a millimetre on them huge engine crank shafts, and even putting them together while they are floating absolutely amazing engineering from all, including electricians, pipe fitters and floor layers. hats off to every single one of them,
Unbelievable in any respect the whole mega project as well as this video coordination. Just mind boggling.
Germans are very technology savvy, they make the best of everything. Everything that I own that's from germany is top quality, from my Stihl lawn equipment to my rowenta steam iron, my benz and so on.
