It was a pleasure to be part of the last building prosess onboard Hull 884-REV ocean. I could make a hole list of things that didn't go as planned whit the building of it though... But it will remain as one of my most special ship builds for sure
What an amazing ship. It would be incredible if there were a full length documentary on the making of this ship. This ship is certainly placed to be able to impact the future of our planet. I am quite excited to see what the future brings.
Can we all just take a moment and appreciate the fact that the new biggest yacht in the world isn’t yet another luxurious hotel but instead is meant for solving the problems of our time? Thanks Kjell Inge Røkke! MVP!
Or you could take it that a man with good intentions (and a shed load of money) decided to spend his money (over half a billion) on his own private yacht, so that he could direct what he see's as important research. No qualifications that he has (except those he's paid for opinions), but the world is full of people who have spent their lives researching this yet lack funding. I wish the owner well, as I believe he has good intentions. However, that half a billion would've been better spent if given to university departments?
@@x-raf7652 i do doubt it. So first things first. He earned this money and he can spend it as he pleases. Thats how capitalism works and i am very happy that this person spend it to somehow help the enviroment and our planet. he could also just bought another Dilbar 2.0 who provides nothing positiv to our planet. Second thing is that i personaly don't think that this money could be spend any better. There are a lot of thinks that needs to be reserched in our modern days but the ocean is definitely one of them.
@@x-raf7652 "However, that half a billion would've been better spent if given to university departments?" I'm not sure if you meant that as a statement of fact or as a question seeking an answer.

@@MaxwellAerialPhotography You do realize that this vessel is longer than the world's largest superyacht Azzam by 10ft (3.3m). Rev Ocean can't claim the top spot because it is classified as research.

So, you are the closed-minded one or even worst, a fool that is ignorant to how people actually behave. People like you are nothing more than stepping stones for the Machiavellians to take advantage of.
A very newsworthy item. Thanks Tristan. Note: regarding the audio aspect of your video editing. Bring your voice a little higher in the mix. Your voice carries the story and I want to hear the story. It's a good story and a great effort. Thanks again.
No it’s a vacation for the guests the scientists would be living in non officers crew quarters like the deckhands and stewardesses it’s the same as a normal yacht just with running cost subsidized by scientific research expeditions it’s a win win the owner lowers his cost and the researchers lower there operating costs per research expedition
Nice to see that Kjell Inge's billions will be put to some good use, and not only to serve holiday makers and charters. He sure has come along way since I worked for him some years ago, as an accountant for Norway Seafoods ASA, and before that as a skilled production worker in one of his factories in the north of Norway. I sure would like to get a tour on board that huge yacht on one of it's research cruises, but my working days are over due to my muscle disease, and I cannot climb stairs anymore. The world throws you a tough curve ball sometimes, and not all of them can be easily avoided. Best of luck to that massive research vessel. Hope we can gain a lot of valuable knowledge about our oceans and get new ideas on how to help save our planet.
Kjell Inge is a cool and down to earth guy👍 some years ago, a guys car stopped with a problem in morning traffic. The only guy that stopped and asked if he was in need for some help, was mr Røkke☺️ Lets save the oceans TOGETHER ❤️
All these billionaires in the video... So concerned about the ocean, as they cruise around in this giant resource hog burring ungodly amounts of fossil fuel, for the benefit of a couple people. Makes sense. Keep up the good work men you're saving the planet!!

Hi Superyacht Captain . Love your vlogs, expertise & knowledge . Amazing to see this new giga yacht . People with incredible vision . Benjamin Ortega is an amazing vlogger and creative genius who also works with Jon Olsson . God bless .💘🧡💛💚💙💜 Mark (Toronto)
I would also set up a magnetic team omboard to scan the ocean floor.... dragging the mag torpedo that scans the oceans floor. I remember paul allens yacht years ago finding the wwII japanese submarine.
Thanks Skipper, great info. It’s a shame we know more about the moon surface than we do about our own planets oceans and sea floors, the life, possible biomedical innovations not to mention food sustainability etc. From what I’ve seen since 1977 when I joined the Royal Navy, the seas have become a dumping ground and with ever increasing world human population, this is not sustainable. Within 100 years, there will be no fish left to safely harvest, due to our own stupidity. I think the owner of this ‘giga yacht’ is on my wavelength also, curdos to him and crew👏👏👍
The whole thing sounds very buzzwordy. Are we sure they are not just justifying their extravagant yacht by paying lipservice to science and similar goals?
A huge drawback with these mega yachts is that there are very limited places where you can ‘park’ them. On the entire US West Coast, 150’ is the biggest yacht acceptable and that’s only at ONE marina, although a second marina accepted a 250’ yacht after much wrangling. The top 25 yachts, in size are all much bigger than that. So, you can’t get maximum value by throwing dock parties. You have to live or commute to Miami or the Caribbean or anchor off-shore.
I love hearing rich people lecture us about environmentalism as they sit in their 10,000 sq ft homes packing their bags to get on their 50 million dollar jets to go cruise on their 300’ yachts.
@@jonbutton3259 I’m not complaining about them being rich I’m complaining about them wanting to limit my lifestyle while they enjoy theirs. They lobby for all electric cars by 2050, reduction of oil usage while they burn 40x the normal person, they want to put limits on the resources we use while they build houses that could put a roof over the heads of 6 families and that is just one of many houses they own.
Love the videos Tristan, keep them coming! Now the rub here is that this doesn't appear to be a luxury yacht nor in the class of luxury yachts. Its a research vessel and nothing like AWOL or Motor Yacht A or any of the other luxury yachts we have seen so far. I think she should be considered the first of her class, but a new class. Comparing her to true luxury yachts just doesnt make sense.
Hello Tristan! We miss you! We already hit the like button. We hope that AWOL is OK! Are you preparing AWOL for the water? Watching from Los Angeles! Thank you for the video. Steve Miller.
@SuperYachtCaptain Would it not be feasible for giga-yachts to be nuclear powered.. As submarines are as as Air Craft Carriers.. I'm actually surprised that mega cruise ships aren't already. As clean energy and efficiency, but I may have answered my own question in regards to maintenence and specialist training required. being civilian not military vessel.
So basically she is to be the "Calypso" of the new century. Funny to see scientists looking for such a nice, comfortable environment to work from. However, if we can get some decision-makers on this yacht by offering luxury AND then impart knowledge and maybe even hands-on personal experience about the pollution, the fragility and beauty of the marine environment, then I'm all for it. Especially as it is paid for by other people. Sure taxes will be saved etc. but the contribution of the stay payer will not be as substantial as if the government would build a research ship.

"Use" it as a research yacht then you turn it into a tax haven
Jacques Cousteau would be proud. Viva Calypso !
I think you don't know who Cousteau was. Abusing animals is not something to be proud of.
You don’t need a yacht that big to take on that mission. Sometimes more is just more! Tristan you did a great job narrating.
“Research vessel” aka tax shelter
At Least i know someone else here has a brain.
Research how much we can eat, drink and party?

Tristan, start making connections. We need you and Aquaholic on board.
I’m working on it 😉
For a 100 foot yacht he makes a 20 minute video. Based on that he would need a two hour video. Count me in for that viewing!
crew will be all / mostly norwegian. i believe esysman already applied for an engineers position and has rejected

Wow she is stunning. What an amazing vessel and built for such a fantastic reason.
I love the looks of this ship.
Have you heard anything about it being extended? I think it was eSysman who said they were making it longer, over 200meters for unknown reasons.
its going to be extended because it sits low in the water
Fascinating, but also very well made Tristan.
Triston... Your video production skills are shining... awesome video
Do more good than harm. Outstanding
That’s one hell of a viking ship!
Meanwhile billions of children go hungry at this very moment while we were admiring this video.
And what exactly are you doing? Admiring the video. Much less than what they're doing. Stop whining like a bitch.
Beautiful, futuristi

@@danieljohnston5306 I agree. There's no way this yacht is being used for sCiEnCe 🤣

How long did it take to complete the yacht??
Was supposed to be completed in 2021, but already 4 years behind schedule.
777ft luxury Giga concept ship 500 at beam 480 at draft 280 at aft and 520 at stern
As always a great video.
Could you tell me what the song in the intro is called. Have searched for hours on artlist but have not found it.

Looks like a warship, not like a yacht....but a impressive performance of the builder.

Tristan,
Wonderful video of a ship I'd love to learn ever more about. However you got access, I thank you.
Incredible insight into what is possible to achieve Bravo 🙏🙏
Love the intro. What a ship. Hope it is used for real research.
I read somewhere that AWOL was up for sale, is this correct?
Google it - the answer is yes.

the perfect vehicle for "creating the science" we need to implement "solutions" that's not creepy at all..

What makes this a Yacht vs a ship?
Always interesting Tristan
the way they designed the front of the ship makes me think they did that just to beat azzam in length. lmao
I would get lost on bord that yacht

Amazing. Who funded it?
I just figured out why the oceans are rising . . . . these rich people keep putting these huge yachts in the "tub".
It would be great to get an outside and inside video tour when it is complete and on sea trials.

it is a research vessel :)
I'll have two thanks
I don’t normally use slang, but I am definitely down with “Gigayacht Gang.” 😎
Caveat: Can’t watch now; will watch later. 👍
this ship is as big as many of the commercial ocean liners of the early 20th century. Just to put that in perspective.
So basically it's a research exploration vessel. Just made to look like a luxury yacht
I thought this was classified as a research vessel not a yacht which is solely recreational.
That would be cool to spend some time on and learn something about the oshans
