Huge Drilling Rig Transport | Mega Transports | Free Documentary

- An drilling rig is towed around the world by a single tug.
A brand-new drilling rig, worth 500 million dollar, has to go from South Korea to Europe. The problem: It is too gigantic for a heavy transport vessel. The solution: it’s being towed. By one single tug. It’s a true Mega Transport, halfway around the globe - all that in just 90 days.
The Mega Transport starts in Ulsan, South Korea. West Bollsta was built here for 6 years - and is now ready to get to its operation site. But how should this beast be delivered? It’s 123 meters long and 76 meters wide. Its maximum drilling depth: incredible 12 kilometers! Way to bulky to be transported in a common way. Surprisingly, a rather small kind of boat is best for the job: the ALP Striker - one of the strongest ocean tugs in the world.
The ALP Striker will pull the drilling rig across the oceans on arm-thick steel cables. They are so heavy that only the ship's own crane can move them. Connecting tug and rig alone takes a whole day.
Once the drilling rig is towed to the tug, they’re embarking on a journey never before seen: around the cape of good hope. Navigation, pirates, wind and waves - there are many unpredictable challenges along the way. Once they have managed them all, the destination is in sight: the Canary islands.

Very nice. I am a captain and used to tow rigs across seas for many years
Many filipino seamen crew
l0
_"If anything should happen, just run away"_ . . . Best advice ever!
That man 20000 iq
Yeah just run away
Exactly, it's not like you can keep these steel wires on their place😂
Excellent documentary of something you don’t see often
It is amazing to me that the engineers, welders, crew and capitans are able to construct and operate these huge objects.
Yeah. Informative
The only sensible comments so far
I grew up at the mouth of Rotterdam Harbor and am so proud to see this Dutch tug safely complete this tow. Respect to Captain Kees and his excellent crew!
Antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
Hey Tina
It seems South Korea and other Asian countries such as China are the builders of most commercial ships, transports, and oil rigs in the world
We salute Filipino crew for being a part of this company.
Finally a documentary in FULL HD!!!
That in itself was a Mega Transport.
Yeah lmao
Its inspiring and very proud to see that many Filipinos are in this work. Very proud of being Filipino. Pilipinas Represent
Great crew of hard working people. :)
shout out to all Filipino crew on that boat ALP Striker..
Can we stop with the cliche 'running against the clock' nonsense in all these documentaries please? The content is interesting enough by itself without this manufactured drama.
content is ruined by the narration. all the size comparisons have me wondering what size this oscar guy is.
Well said, I was actually going to say something similar. It’s obnoxious...
🤣😂. I concur with you. But these guys only have the drama for sale. They have to put you on stress & tension.
But on ships you are always running against the clock ... that's just how life is onboard 🤷🏻♂️
@Ethan Mac I guess...but as someone who works on merchant ships i can tell you that your whole life is against the clock from the time you step onboard till the time you step off so maybe that's why I'm used to it😅
The Filipino Crews has done an excellent and very efficient job. Well done.
Yeah proudly pinoy
May pinoy na crew hehe
galing nga nila. sabi ko na mga pinoy un eh
@@ac3buddy same tayo hahahaha
Gotta respect Kees with all that pressure and responsibility. Nice work.
What a well presented documentary on a very difficult and exacting operation. Every moment was tension filled but the cool and highly professional approach made it look so routine. Hats off to the young skipper of the tug. We wish him and his crew safe towing always. And the crew of the giant rig, successful and rewarding drilling. Stay Safe.
Top Class👌
Great documentary but a bit heavy on ads wouldn't you say 🤣
AdBlocker dude - free your brain!
A tip for skipping ads bro.
Just watch untill the very first ad and forward to the last and leave it. After completion of the vedio replay it again and you will never get a single ad.
U still get ads?
You can just slide it to the end when the video starts and hit replay too.
it's called free documentary for a reason
I think there were pinoy crews working on that alp striker😊 we salute you sir🇵🇭🙏 mabuhay kayo mga pilipino❤️🇵🇭
Yes pansin ko nga rin
Walang kawala "ok mo" sabi nung isa nung nagkakantahan na🇵🇭🇵🇭
meron talaga pinoy yan mga mate,
What a great experience to be on such a rig. I have worked for one of such a rig called *Safe Bristolia* in Singapore kepple shipyard during 2007, it was even bigger then this one in the vedio. But what is most striking is the massive ness of the structure. It's an unforgettable experience, and sobering memories. I was also blessed to work for another Russian oil rig in Singapore during 2003 to 2005 a complete refurbishment of the *Marmanskaaya* even Bigger then this one. It's always a joy and a challenge to work on a rig. Good luck guys.
Might be easier on the Captain , if they didn't play scary music behind him.
Ohh that was added later to scare Me?
No it was playing in the bridge the whole time.
😃😃😃
😆😆😆
ALP's crew are fun Filipinos, I can tell it by their karaoke past times. LoL
am i the only one who thought that the drilling rigs didn't float? and were just like attached the the ocean floor?
There are many types of rigs, some are attached to floor, some are attached by cables, some are self proppeled, like this one.
Depends on how much oil is down there really. If it's shitload then they will build a permanent structure. Otherwise they will build something like this one.
Rigs are mobile, such as a semi-sub like here, jack up or drill ship. Platforms are permanent structures usually attached by a "jacket".
It is muck like balancing on as seasaw. Years ago a welder quit on one of the early semis when He discovered it was floating!
@@adinicic4259 It doesn't depend on the amount of oil but the depth of the sea at the point. Deploying a massive oil rig is so expensive that it does not matter that much if it's built to the seafloor or not. If there is enough oil to deploy a rig, there is enough oil to justify building a permanent structure.
The problem however is that most of the oil is so deep down, that it does not make any sense to build it to the bottom. Free floating or cable-attached, or semi subs are basically without depth restrictions. Those that are attached to the floor are basically used in waters less than 300 meter deep, there are exceptions tho.
And funny thing is, even the biggest fixed, norwegian built, oil rigs were actually floated to the scene and then ballast tanks were flooded to make the whole structure sit on the seabed.
Nice documentary useful to learn new things. Please provide more documentaries on different fields. Thank you for your contribution 👍👍👍👍
Good job ALP Striker.....cheers to the Capt. and all Filipino crew man stay safe always guys and God bless!
Just amazing. I was not even aware that such mega transports are even possible. Just mind blowing. I think it was very well presented too, great work.
CONGRATS, for the job well done!
Ang galing, lots of Pinoy seafarers' hands... the Karaoke scene was a good stress reliever.
🎉 Cheers, mariners- mates.
Goed werk Kees. Hollands Glorie!
Was dit niet eerst Smit Tak ?
The alp striker is such a beautiful ship.
I used Google to find out how much it is worth and it said 260 million.
29:45 i like the drone landing spot with a marked D
Very amazing voyage to watch..... I felt as if I was part of the operation.
I'm glad I wasn't part of the operation. It looks like really hard work.
We,definitely owe you Free Documentaries, our especial thanks and gratitude for letting us have such wonderful/marvelous documentaries, which otherwise in no way possible; more so in such a big number on varied subjects and ways. Thanks again.
this is such a knowledgeable documentary. Delivering the oil rigg that massively supplies the world's necessities is so underrated. Hands down to the well-trained 40 handworking people🙌
Another priceless documentary
Well documented
Excellent job by captain case, chief engineer Denise and the entire crew
Wow! The ALP Striker is one of the nicest-looking tug boats I've ever seen.
"The greater the distance between tug and tow the deeper the wire sags this acts as a shock absorbed reducing the tension and thus protects the main towing wire and the chain anchors on the rig this is the only way for the connection to survive the continuous load"
"In shallow water the steel cable would grind on the rocky seabed and break so when they near a coastline the crew has to pull the rig at the distance of around 400 meters minimum"
Great important lesson learn, sir!
YEA
Hands down the best Documentary Channel on TH-cam
Thank you Free documentary team for bringing such wonderful videos. You reinforce my passion for Engineering and allied studies.
So proud of this documentary , it is very good
Haven worked on different oil rigs, I found this delivery fascinating and carefully planned.
Hello Sir, How are you? I'm from Cambodia.
@@mathananaturallife8528 heey
Mabuhay ang mga marinong Filipino🇵🇭🇵🇭
Mabuhay godbless
Good to know that FILIPINO's worked on this big transport.
Mabuhay ang marinong pinoy mate.
Big respect for seaman ♥️ all over globe ⚓
I love how the drone has its own tiny landing pad.
I saw that too! ...but I wasn’t sure if that’s what it was. So thank u!
Where
I admit I thought that was cute.
so proud of my kababayans on board the ALP Striker! kudos to you mga kabayan!
Salute sa mga Pinoy na crew ng tugboat na to.
matik na yan!! in short " PROUD TO BE PINOY!!! " 😂😂
Filipino pride.
Most of seamans.
I will give you some seaman. Bend over and drop your pants.
Manuel labor only. Prideful nothing.
@@rittmeister3659 "manuel" really? You could've just said unskilled labor.
They are not pignoy. They are Indonesians.
Indo best seaman in the world
👏Nobdoy👏gives👏a👏shit👏
I dont know why i like this Kind of documentals they are very impressed
it’s hard to get the entire family to watch aaaanything together, but we watched this. great job 👏👏👏
Phenomenal video and what incredible workers and staff. Well done.
Hello Sir, How are you? I'm from Cambodia.
These guys could actually make a real life movie off of these
Great Journey. ALP Striker is simply Amazing Power house.
Not even in the top 10 in the world
I salute to the Filipino crew members
That is a beautiful tug. Sleek design and elegant styling.
33:53 mga pinoy tlga😆solid mga pre good job🔥🇵🇭
D tayo mawawala sa maritime industry...
Yeah u got it bro👍🇵🇭
🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Anywhere or any kind of ship, cargo, cruise, tug boat, etc, etc, there's always a Filipino on board. It's a fact of the global maritime industry. The best!!
"Dyay number man". Haha. Ilocano pa nga😅😅
Everyone displayed excellent professional expertise! I am surprised that with today's technology, cameras weren't mounted on the two platforms near the anchor points to constantly monitor the towing/emergency lines!
Nice
Wow! Very informative. I loved this documentary.
This is some good stuff right there, really exciting.
Salute to all the pilipino crews,great job guys💪💪💪
Proud to be pinoy
Nederland for the win. (Dutch captain with the typical dutch name "Kees"). felling proud over here
Nadinig ko yon kabayan "Don nyo na dalhin, don nyo dalhin" im so proud of you kabayan hindi basta basta yung transport rigs na napasukan! Pray and ingat po palagi kabayan!
Wow what a journey!
Great Documentary.

Just humble man standing at the gas pump wondering why it cost so much,, my eyes now open to see what it really takes to produce world's petroleum to fuel our cars just to get to from A-Z, not mentioning other needs. We as Urban and rural folks over many countries, don't and can not get a grasp on what dangers it takes for crews like this to make it possible to have fuel to do simple task. I salute the whole crew for making this happen, and Hats off for a successful journey. Ole fart from TX. and ex-Iron Worker that knows the high risk of High Steel construction. Bear @ Bears Rod Shop. Tell the whole crew thx for being a part of Real Life in the fast Lane.
Galing talaga ng mga pinoy halata sa galawan at sa kanta an proud of you guys godbless
Good run Captains and crew think id change the oil now
amazing. say hai from indonesia 👋🇮🇩
Simply amazing.
Deze bemanning zal wel 3 maanden op zee! Fantastische inzet dus.
Amazing, well planned, executed transport!
i see white my eyes this beautiful alp striker when hi going to sea indonesia so very lihe hulk and dam beautiful ship i evet see in my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This vessel doesn’t have the strongest bollard pull. The ISLAND VICTORY DOES. “Bollard pull is primarily (but not only) used for measuring the strength of tugboats, with the largest commercial harbour tugboats in the 2000-2010s having around 60 to 65 short tons-force (530-580 kN; 54-59 tf) of bollard pull, which is described as 15 short tons-force (130 kN; 14 tf) above "normal" tugboats.
The worlds strongest tug since its delivery in 2020 is Island Victory (Vard Brevik 831) of Island Offshore, with a bollard pull of 477 tonnes-force (526 short tons-force; 4,680 kN). Island Victory is not a typical tug, rather it is a special class of ship used in the petroleum industry called an Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel.”
Massive move amazing, hell of a operation on a big scale. There men are putting in some important hard work. 👍🤟
I can see all of the cable ladders that i have buildt for that rig 🤟😁
@Espen Vatland du jobber for Øglænd?
@@k0ppit ja jeg gjør det
That's awesome
Great job man
Wow that's pretty cool shhhh! The power on that tug is downright gangsta!
This is just phenomenal...
I'm impressed! Looks like a great job from all angles!
Captain: **just standing and watching**
Narrator: *Captain Case is getting impatient.*
🤦♂️smh
This was pretty neat
Love the way the Captain's drone has its own little drone pad 😁
Hard working people with nerve of steel. Smart too.💯👋👍
I work in aviation and we use a lot of cotter pins, but my god that is the largest cotter pin I have ever seen
Verry intresting i learned alot just watching these documentarys

NICE TO HAVE A COLD DRINK
Some of the best time in my life working in the heavy Hyundai industry chip yard seeing my drill ship getting built. Then we did the same voyage on the noble Sam Croft from South Korea to Wallis bay Africa.. amazing great times, 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵
"...chip yard..."...??? ....wonder what kind of electronics that need chips of that size ...???
THE MOST BEAUTIFULL JOB IN THIS BUISNESS. Nice to watch this documentary, really enjoy it.
Great job! Excellent planning! Congrats! Pinoys are definitely part of this successful sails!
Wooow!!A massive successful transportation 👍👍👌👌👌
Mabuhay mga PINOY Marino!!! Now I know why they like to hire SEAMEN from Philippines, they can handle dangerous task with no fear!!!
The earlier everyone starts and invests and builds on entrepreneurship, the better it is for all of us. I just left medical school and am making $22,000 a week trading bitcoins
have used the Larry Kent Nick strategy all these years he is very good at what he does you should also try using his trading strategies
Mr. Kent has good connections with big investors as he works in the stock market, so finding a partner won't be a problem. I'm almost working on it during the unification process

So proud sa inyo mga sir..iba maging pinoy...
People hardly understand the hardwork of Engineers life
We don't get paid to understand
Ridiculously manufactured hysteria. I've been involved with moving semi subs for 27 years. It's well rehearsed and planned. No dramas.
Yeah but to the average person . It makes it more exciting, I would guess. I see your point though.
The crews are filipinos... I salute you guys....goodbless and have a safe trip always..
Entire crew wer awesome... they are so competent
20:20 "...in spite of the swell." Really? The narrator really does have an inflated sense of drama!
yeah tiny waves :)
Lol renko could do it much easier that detroit is a monster!!!!
What you mean? transporting this cain of mega structure is that easy?
Can give you couple bucks for Starbucks with those narrative. No shame for money.
Taking one of those life boats would be a hell of a ride
Giant drop 😂
"Wow, those balls weigh more than the rig itself! 😱 Impressive engineering!"
The Captain of The Alp Striker is young with that much responsibility is amazing. He’s got a brute future for sure
“If something happens with that cable, run away’’ lol
Run away doo do do do
"this shakle alone ways about 150kilograms" little man lift it by himself haha ;) 15:30
hahahahaha
the shackle with the bolt and nut, thats only about 80 without the rest of it attached
😂😂😂
R u sure u can lift it!!!
Its Manny paquiao brother. LoL
That was awesome.. Great job engineers ship people..
wow. this gave me goosebumps. job well done 👌
Most of them are filipino 🇵🇭💪❤
So proud, her from the philippines
Cheapest labor 😂
