Wow, I had no idea how diverse the world of ships could be! The "City of St Petersburg" is a prime example of how form and function can collide in the most unexpected ways. At first, I thought it was a plane in the water when I saw the aerodynamic design-so futuristic! But it makes sense that it was engineered to reduce wind resistance, saving fuel and improving efficiency. It's fascinating how this ship can carry 2,000 cars at once, yet it looks more like an experimental aircraft than a cargo ship. I also love how it won the "Ship of the Year" award despite defying conventional ship design. It just goes to show how innovation often looks a bit weird at first, but it can revolutionize industries when done right. This ship definitely deserves a spot on the list of unusual vessels. But I wonder-will we start seeing more ships adopt this kind of aerodynamic design in the future? It seems like a no-brainer for efficiency!
Knock Nevis was dismantled in 2009. Not only was she 35 years old, her size (length) made it difficult to navigate many tighter waterways and very expensive to operate.
And bigger than the USS Enterprise.... Wait USS? Doesn't that mean United Space Ship ??? I know, it also stands for United States Ship. But in combinatin with Enterprise (I know what that ship is) it sounds so familiar as a Star Trek viewer.
I agree the Ramform does not collect hydrographic data from the ocean. It is a seismographic vessel. Collecting data from the layers below the water to create 3D surveys for oil exploration. Its wide stern is so it can deploy 10 or more streamers used in data collection. It also streams air guns that create the energy needed to get reflections from geologic layers below the sea floor.
Some of those are modern ( SAILS), a turbine, so to speak 😊 have read many articles in marine publishing that talk about the building and if they can pay for themselves 😊 It the money part shippers are looking at 😊 they want a payback on a big investment We as people look at all traditional SAIL vessels and see big canvas on masts. A lot of those upright steel post are power for pushing the ship through water. If you're thinking of the other ships that have jack up posts to make the ship like a floating dock, so to speak.
The MPI Adventure is an offshore installation and maintenance vessel, with jackup capabilities. Not the only one in its kind. Jan de Nul, Boskalis, DEME, Van Oord, they all have these. Ramform Hyperion: not a typical shape, but there are quite a few of them, not just this one. The Vanguard and Blue Marlin are similar type of vessels. Nexans Skagerak is one of many cable laying vessels, not very special. USS Zumwalt, these days just a regular navy vessels, which can be seen in many countries. 21:03 The Pioneering Spirit approaching a special test platform, used to test its jacks which are used to lift top sides of platforms. I'm one of the few people ever been on that test platform. I am missing the Shell Prelude. And the Heerema Sleipnir.
14:45 Sans Vitesse is read "song vee-tess" not "sang vuh-tees" meaning "without speed", yes I agree the creators need to do their homework, Americans don't know everything
The narrator is not a person, so stop complaining about American pronunciation, please. Instead, complain about AI narrations without a disclaimer. The soviet ship with helicopter blades is perhaps actually an icebreaker. I spent some time thinking about it, and that could be a useful thing for an icebreaker in shifting its mass, and creating localised deflection of smaller ice. That's only a theory from the picture, but it certainly would be a worthwile test, icebreakers are quite important, and tend to be worth a lot of investment.
I'm sorry I really like your videos but the icon images have gotten out of hand. I'm an engineer and know that helo ship is totally Redicilous. Their nothing but click bate.
Good content! Clear without fluff. Good work 👏

I've seen the flip, many times in the 60's and 70's, out fishing, a great childhood.!
Waaaahhhhh . . . I didn't see Prelude! . . . my favorite ship/barge/LNG processor.
Damn I was looking forward to seeing the helicopter ship 😂
Same lol
The difference between a ship and a boat is you can put a boat on a ship, but you cannot put a ship on a boat.
A ship with a helicopter propeller is hilarious 🤣🤣wth
Interesting video, but could do without the ants.
That's been their gimmick/trademark for yrs, it's just a few seconds between clips anyways.

@JaapGinder The Enterprise is a 1,000+ ft aircraft carrier, USS stands for United States Ship I think.
Uk coastline has massive fields of off shore wind turbines.
the clip @7:29 is the USS Cole. The USS Cole was attacked and had a 40X40 foot hole in its side.
Creator needs to do his homework a bit more. So much errors in each ship being discussed.
yes , needs to understand his subject better . Need to do more back ground reading !

The creator should double-check the facts-there are quite a few errors in the details of each ship discussed.
Who do the cowboys play on Thanksgiving
MPI Adventure. You bring our attention to the 6 posts on the deck, but you don't explain the purpose of them.

Clickbait thumbnails like this are awesome.
You know right away that the video isn't worth clicking on (okay okay... I made an exception for once).
#6 was used in a Bond-Movie.

One by one.. that would take forever... Or have them all travel at once?
That 1 ship that sinks and just its nose sticks out I think there would be lots of calls on it with people calling thinking it's sinking.
Seawise Giant/Jahre Viking/Knock Nevis was scrapped 15 years ago, so to say that it's still seaworthy is a bit of an exaggeration...
what a clickbait of a cover photo
Fkn always is.
I down vote anything with that. I’ll probably start to report as misleading.
The Russians were onto something, They got the first Helicarrier
Seems that the US military are the only ones that didn’t do so good in building their newer ships !
Don't wait for the helicopter ship. It's CG and not in the video.
6:11 a ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships
14:45 Sans Vitesse is read "song vee-tess" not "sang vuh-tees" meaning "without speed", yes I agree the creators need to do their homework, Americans don't know everything
It was a boat for homeless people and drug addicts. It even has been sunk 1 time.
Spuds to hold the BARGE NOT SHIP IN PLACE....
Annoying. Don't know how I made it to the 4 minute mark.
There is no way that helicopter ship was even built never mind built and a few still around like quoted.

#sweettopic 🚢 wayyyyy to heavy to be in the air
Ships, SHIP'S 🫣🧐 I see no ship's JUST HARDSHIPS 🆘🇬🇧⚖️🗣️📢🤡🥇
Lord Nelson, stop peeking! I don't go that way!!😂
Sans vitesse ------- Without speed . What is so hard bout proper translating ??????

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Click Bait BS
Nice images, but the juvenile narration is remarkably bad……..but then the guy speaking is American
Excuse me
Meters? Smmfd
Hi maker of this stupid picture with yellow something
I believe you better not get caught on camera thing
Jack up
