I watch "What's Happening with Shipping" and Sal often talks about container ships. As a sailor, I see them from my sailboat and have always wondered why they just don't fall off when the ship rolls with the waves. The question was answered. Thanks.
When I was a kid in the 60's, I saw the first container ships and cranes that were introduced by Malcolm Maclean and his SeaLand company in Newark, NJ. My dad told me that was the future. You were tight dad!
Finally, an answer to my ago old question about how the containers were locked onto by the gantry crane, and how they were locked onto intermodal carriers (truck trailer and train gondolas). Great video, thank you!
All jokes and collapsed bridges aside, this is a very informative and well put together video, explaining even the smallest details such as twist locks and how container positions are identified in the ships holds. Great work! 😊
This is the best explanation of how a container ship works,only one point to tell,the spreader of the gantry crane is most of the time controlled by crane operators and not by sensors or computers.Well done👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He didn't mean that it's operated by computer, but that it has image sensors that help operator to precisely position container. It's still operated by human, but sensors help with precise positioning and guidance.
@@koberko I’m a crane operatie and I can tell you on the cranes our terminal there are no sensors on the spreader 😀we have 34 gantry cranes.Howhever your video is the number 1 in explaining the working proces of the container vessel thanks again👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
It was during my research process, I saw some spreaders are equipped with image sensors, but still many out there don't have it. But still, loading depends on skillful operators
Really good and informative. This video answered a lot of questions in my ship nerd mind. Knowing what we learned from this video, with the containers in the hold below, those deck covers must be incredibly strong to support those giant stacks of containers.
I've been an enthusiast of all types of boats all my life, and this is exactly the type of stuff I've wondered about. Thank you for this great and easy to understand video
Thanks! Very interesting and educational, I’m here because of the accident @ the Bridge 🌉 in Baltimore with the Cargo Ship 🚢 ! So sorry for the folks who lost their lives. Prayers up for everyone ~ involved in this Crisis. Respect ✊
Thank you for providing such a clear understanding of how container ships work. How do they retrieve a container which is stored below other containers, such as when a ship stops somewhere to unload some of the containers?
Great Explanation. When are the locks put on or off the container, when it is on the ground? When they unlock it on the ship, before being lifted off, what happens to the locks? I would think they would stay on the top of the lower container still on the ship, but then the truck driver would need them when the container is lowered. Are people constantly running around with armloads of locks? My brother-in-law was a Longshoreman, but I never understood how it all worked.
Dude, who ever you are, thank you for this educational video. Ive always wondered what the numbers on the containers mean, but now i know. Excellent mate
It is so amazing to know how containers are stacked. The numbering system is phenomenal, whereby one can simply locate the position of a container out of 24k containers.
Extremely useful graphic and excellent explanation. I was wondering on some of the verbiage I saw and nothing before this outright provided definitions. Thank you.
This is an incredible video. I've learned more about container ships in this video than I did about my own ship I was on in the Navy ( USS Carl Vinson CVN-70) 😂
Excellent video. You’ve explained and showed in great detail how everything is done. Only thing I noticed was that below deck the 40’ containers don’t get twist locks but 20’ boxes do get shoes but other than that well done. Great 3D video..
Excelente video, muy pedagógico, lo usaré para complementar los conocimientos entregados a mis alumnos, futuros marinos mercantes, celebro por personas cómo usted, preocupados por dar a conocer el quehacer del transporte marítimo, saludos desde Chile
Fascinating thanks. This answered a bunch of questions and made me think of another 🙂How do they apply the twist locks to the unlashed top layers of containers ? Does someone have to walk on them and manually add them to the corners once they are on the ship or are they added to the top of the container before they are craned onto it ?
Excellent video for showing how containers are secured below deck and above deck. However i saw another video that showed a still unsolved problem when containers are stacked really high above deck where lashing becomes ineffective. Sometimes an entire vertical stack falls off (typically in rogh seas) because there still is no method of securing the tops of container stacks to each other. I hope you will address this problem in your next video.
Excellent video! How do they decide which containers go where - do the heavier containers go below decks? Does the value of the contents make a difference? likelihood of fire? Also, why was the bridge of smaller ships moved further back? Wouldn't they all want as good a view as possible?
The spreader is fitted with twist locks that are operated hydraulically by the crane operator himself through buttons on the joysticks he uses to control the gantry crane.
@@MrRgr004 Thanks for explanation, but how does it control the twist locks on the bottom of a container, if it picks it up from the top? Are there some rods in the container, that you can push down/up to open these locks from the other side?
@@e_mtb For both manual and semi-automatic twist-locks, manual input is compulsory for "opening" them. For fully automatic twist-locks, the release is performed by the lifting force applied to lift the container by the crane operator.
As a young Embarkation/Logistics Specialist in the 90s...we used to load these things, we had ISO containers and Connex boxes, one for shipping the other for rail transport.
Timing for this is impeccable
Yeah
😂
Very clever to hide all the containers with spelling errors on them in the middle where we don't see them!
After 35 years of container shipping , finally a concise, precise rendition on just how container ship dynamics work.
Well, done, best in class.
Are you the expert
what are the front ship container for ? in the case of the DALI the from containers where crushed.. what do you think it contains
If the hull is filled with container what about density of ship....i think buoyancy is due to hollowness of hull.,..help
What do i have to study to become a container organizer? Thanks
Best container ship video I ever seen. Details were superb.
yeah
yes I agree too
YOU!!! Answered YEARS worth of questions, I have always had. Thank you.
It seems like many people have the same questions, haha
Bra jobbatttttt

TH-cam algorithms be giving us ship related videos the past 24hrs
And for some reason bridges too. 🤔
This guy is getting lots of views, but at what cost? 😂
why... what happened?
When I was a kid in the 60's, I saw the first container ships and cranes that were introduced by Malcolm Maclean and his SeaLand company in Newark, NJ. My dad told me that was the future. You were tight dad!
Wow absolute best container ship video I’ve ever seen great job!!
a real lesson on container ships, very well explained👏👏👏👏
Finally, an answer to my ago old question about how the containers were locked onto by the gantry crane, and how they were locked onto intermodal carriers (truck trailer and train gondolas). Great video, thank you!
Yep, that twist lock serves a lot of purposes
what is the answer
You are really good at 3D. I used to use Designer Graphics, then AutoCAD and I never could do anything this incredibly detailed. Bravo 👏
Thanks to today's technology, back in the day I wanted to do this too, but computers in the old days were weak :)
All jokes and collapsed bridges aside, this is a very informative and well put together video, explaining even the smallest details such as twist locks and how container positions are identified in the ships holds. Great work! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. I love your style. Short, no extra fluff, very informative, with clear visual explanation.
Well done, dude. Clear, concise description without extraneous nonsense. The animations were spot on, too. You earned a subscription.
Mate that was perfect. Well done 👍
Perfect explaination and fantastic visuals. Lot of years old questions were answered in just 7 mins video. Amazing efforts,Thanks for the video.
Excellent. I like the 3D animation. I wish that had been available when I first started finding my way around container stacks !
It is truly incredible that such ships can carry so many containers, thank you also for your information.
the scale of the things we do is incredible
this was short, easy to understand, and well animated love it and well done man!
Your explanation, choice of words, tempo and attention to detail with the video is best in class. Well done and thank you.

The best ever video on Containerships. Kudos!!!
Jokes aside, this was actually a pretty informative video and I even learned some things. Great video on these ships!
Seeing the Dali and the work to remove damaged containers from the bow area, this answered a lot of questions. Thank you for this work.

Excellent video Lucius. Brilliant graphics, and concise information. Outstanding, thank you for sharing!❤
I learned something new today. Thanks for sharing this educational video of cargo ships which brings goods onto our store shelves.
I don’t know how I got recommended this video but it was very interesting. Thank you!
Thank you for providing such a clear understanding of how container ships work. How do they retrieve a container which is stored below other containers, such as when a ship stops somewhere to unload some of the containers?

There are storage boxes to put the twist locks and operating rod on board. Workers have to run around a lot, and manually inspected each one of those
as always, amazing work!...much thanks. lol, this channel is underrated af.
Dude, who ever you are, thank you for this educational video. Ive always wondered what the numbers on the containers mean, but now i know. Excellent mate
Well done, top marks! No fluff, no errors, no slant. I wish all information on youtube was conveyed this efficiently.
Wonderful timing and great video !
Great presentation…immersive 3D graphics that are easy to follow and they made the subject even more interesting…thank you for sharing…more please
Thanks! I actually wondered a little about how the containers are loaded and how they keep track of them. 😀
Always a 👍

Thanks so much this video has made me learn about cargo ship and how containers are loaded on board a ship
Just superb graphic work!
Always amazing Lucius! ✨️ Thanks for teaching us so much about maritime stuff! 🚢🌊
Not teaching anyone! I just have a lot of questions about things and went extra miles to find the answers, and then tell people about it :)
Extremely useful graphic and excellent explanation. I was wondering on some of the verbiage I saw and nothing before this outright provided definitions. Thank you.
Brilliant in every way! Thanks so much for producing this. 🙌🏻
Great video! Clear, concise and to the point.
Thank you!!! This work is very very informative and of great quality. Congratulations.
I always wondered how these container ships were loaded and the algorithm designed to load them. Well done!
That's a very good video, explaining everything in detail, brilliant stuff!
I’m a Longshoreman at the Port of Baltimore and I never see videos or information about my trade,THANK YOU THAT VIDEO WAS PERFECT ✌🏻&❤
You are a very good channel. Please make more videos about naval engineering things. I loved your videos about ships.
Beautifully explained and illustrated. Thank You !
Today's headlines: "How does a container ship bring down a bridge"
By being very…..VERY heavy
Shut off the engine
Easily
This appeared on my feed lol
Mr. Putin's revenge
Incredible video quality and content! Really enjoyed this. 10/10
Amazing works Lucius, thank you ❤
I never thought it would actually be that interesting thanks

Vielen Dank für die anschauliche Erklärung des Aufbaus von Containerschiffen :-)
I am just adding positive words to the comments below - very well-done video and I would recommend it to my students too. 🤩
Well done presentation! You should be a teacher or technical trainer!! I was amazed at how many containers were below deck…

It would be great a second part showing the flat rack containers with oversized cargo
very well explained and clean animation, thank you

There are no absolute methods of securing a super tall stack, so the ship just has to move carefully.
All work's procedures are very well explained. Thanks and congrats.
thank you! alway curious how cargo work. how containers dont have ropes on lorries etc. this answers lots of my question lol. thank you :)
insanely great video! Wish this was around last month when i was studying for my deck gen exam 😢
Tremendous explanation to know containers ships, congratulations for your time to do this video .😊
parabéns mais uma vez!👏👏👏👏
Anybody else never know that they stored containers underneath? Always thought they were just one top
Assuming buoyancy isn’t an issue, storing containers underneath lowers the center of gravity of the vessel and significantly improves stability.
I am a student in the Logistics field. this video is very important for my studies
This was a very good explanation, thank you.
Thanks for watching !
Wonderful.
Make another video on container terminals. Let me know when done
Excellent video! How do they decide which containers go where - do the heavier containers go below decks? Does the value of the contents make a difference? likelihood of fire? Also, why was the bridge of smaller ships moved further back? Wouldn't they all want as good a view as possible?
Was recommended in my feed. Good video... New sub
I have one question: how does a crane operator releases the twist-locks if he picks up a container from the ship or from a lorry (semi-truck)
As far as I know, workers have to manually release the twistlock
The spreader is fitted with twist locks that are operated hydraulically by the crane operator himself through buttons on the joysticks he uses to control the gantry crane.
@@MrRgr004 Thanks for explanation, but how does it control the twist locks on the bottom of a container, if it picks it up from the top? Are there some rods in the container, that you can push down/up to open these locks from the other side?
