I thought they were just going to drive it around town for the whole video.
I just spent 3 minutes watching a 60-point turn....
ferry boat, would make a special kind of 'super yacht'
I really like the way they lowered her into the water.
That vessel is drop dead gorgeous.
The ship, the transport system, the launch system....
All so big, so heavy and works so smoothly....
Engineers make the world go round!!!
Austal has the merit of not being tied to old hull concepts...for this they are N° 1
Would make a beautiful yacht with the right interior.
Keen to jump on this when I can go to Japan and take it from Fukuoka, Japan to Busan, South Korea. Looks awesome!
I’d love to see this boat under power, beautiful
great to see some manufacturing in Australia
Wow it's gorgeous! Can't wait to see it operating!
I hope all the best for this amazing company
It would be nice if Austal produces a video Detailing the Choice of materials, Engines, construction techniques that makes Austal a World-Class leader in ship manufacturing.
Ripper. What a beautiful design. A great WA company doing well.
日本でクイーンビートルに試乗した者です。真っ赤なカラーリングがカッコいいですね！！今はコロナ禍で日本国内ツアーだけですが、早く日韓航路で活躍する姿が見たい！！
I was expecting a smoother hull finish, and was surprised to see almost every plate visible. Having said that, still eagerly waiting for the sea trials video. Congrats to all at Austral!
Ship owners don't spend the money on pretty finishes, those are for yachts.
I notice the not so smooth hull finish too which made me scratched my head a little.
@@100PercentOS2 I think that the aluminium means it is hard to get a smooth finish over a large area because the thickness of the plates is reduced to reduce cost and weight. But I have even seen that sort of uneven finish to a lesser degree on some steel hull frigates.
This is a commercial trimaran. I'm willing to bet they used materials & a design that can stand up to day in & day out abuse.
But they may be some drawbacks with the type of finish you ends up with. But the draw backs are mainly cosmetic.
It is really disappointing to see that hull finish.
Engine room tour please !
oh yes please
Second this. The quad jets looked awesome!
この『クイーンビートル』が、日韓交流復活の兆しを見せてほしい事を心よりお祈りしています。
I may not know a lot about boats but this is one badass ship, awesome color to go with it.
What a magnificent vessel, great video.
Nice, but please do the same for A.P.T. James, built by Austal Vietnam team. That vessel was recently launch as well.
今年の7月に運航開始とか聞いていたが、出鼻をくじかれたな。
でも一度は乗ってみたいものだ。
Queen and the Beetles..., two famous great British bands that have totally changed the world of music... This ship bears those two names combined... Is this just a coincidence??
A band called Queen ? Yes
A band called The Beetles? No
Sorry only 1/2 correct.
Another amazing trimaran !
That is a pretty impressive ship! From building shed to launch was intriguing to watch.
Yes and I think the red colour makes it look really nice.
This was built by West Australian tradesmen in Henderson ...What a ship .
What a uniquely gorgeous ship...LOL...I thought it was a private, a super-luxury yacht, tho, until I read the description!
That is stunning!
Interesting video, what a complicated and expensive way of launching a boat, I'm sure there must be a good reason for it but why not just build it near the water?
Absolutely beautiful. Well done
... what a Beaut !!! wow... almost makes you want to fly to Japan, just to take a ride to South Korea!
Pushing the limits of what the facility was designed for!. Nice job.
Travel to Japan🇯🇵 to South Korea🇰🇷
That’s one BADASS looking boat.
It basically has the same hull design as the Navy's Littoral Combat Ships, also made by Austal, as well as pump jets like them.
Austal specialize in Trimaran hulls
Dont know why but this video was just satisfying 👌🏽
Muy hermoso Barco los felicito un abrazo enorme desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Aquaholic tour please. Can see this as a future personal yacht
Damn,that’s a lot of RED!!! Very interesting yacht.👍🏻
The RED color makes it go faster.
Didnt know they still had shipyards in australia which still cater to the private market, thought that it all shifted to military contracts since australia wouldnt be competitive in the shipbuilding market.
I went on their SeaCat about 20 years ago. Was a fast ship.
This ship it’s exactly the same as the Norwegian Fred Olsen that I used to cross between Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on the Canary Islands!
Actually they not that exact, though they're trimaran craft. The one you're talking about is the Benchijigua Express operating for Fred Olsen Express, not Norwegian. That vessel can carry passengers and vehicles. This vessel, the Queen Beetle can only carry passengers.
It is Art.
Damn, beautiful ship, and large, too. It's as big as a destroyer.
Or a Littoral Combat Ship
I need one of those for crappie fishing on Sherman County Reservoir.
Would be a nice platform for a (my?) private yacht.
Great to see what can be built in our own back yard and keeping jobs local too 😀😀
That's one hell of a fishing boat!
BEAUTIFUL SHIP !
Super!👍
An boat named for an insect queen makes me suspicious about what I'd be getting into...
S. Green A boat”
Queen beetle , one of two best band
The hull finish and the name - wtf!
Schönes Schiff ! Schöne Lackierung , leider werde ich wohl nie im Leben das große glück haben mal auf diesem Schiff zu sein , da es leider am anderen Ende der Welt ist ...
Let's see her running full power in open ocean!!!!
Is that quad jet propulsion? For a ship that large? Is it worth the energy? Why not propellers?
Josuke22 Yes Josuke. I have been involved with a number of these jet propelled vessels in my time working in the marine industry. From what I see, so much of the power is lost in froth and bubble. I would take conventional propeller thrust as opposed to jet propulsion anytime.
The ship is not really that large, more about mid size. Don't know about it using 4 waterjets though when it could just use only three like on the HSC Benchijigua Express. Catamarans and trimarans can take advantage of high speed by powerful propulsion like waterjets because they have higher efficiency and create less drag when cutting the water compare to monohull vessels and allow the waterjets to operate efficiently. Only worry about if they use waterjets on monohull vessels because the size of the hull and how it creates more drag will make waterjets inefficient in providing propulsion for these type of vessels. So waterjets can operate at higher efficiency than propellers, that's why.
@@robertmayhew98 propellers can produce bubbles as well through a phenomenon call cavitation. If you have been seeing lab experiments of propeller moving through a liquid, you would clearly see bubbles forming on the outer edge of the blades. Both impellers in water jets and propellers can suffer from cavitation, the only difference is that the damage maybe limited or doesn't occur often in a waterjet than with a propeller.
Hi Trinispace, Thank you for your article re marine propulsion. I understand and totally agree with you. Propeller cavitation. I have always been fascinated with the action of propellers in water. Something to do with the amount of oxygen in sea water? Yes when it comes to trimarans, catamarans and other high speed hulls the jet propulsion is certainly far more efficient as compared to conventional propeller drive. Minimal water displacement with such above mentioned type hulls. I was probably more concerned with manoeuvrability in confined spaces and when docking. On many occasions I was required to be on standby to assist with the docking of one of Austal’s newly built vessels. The water all around the vessel was so aerated ( my bubble and froth) . Of course a lot of power is needed at times given the windage effect on many of Austal’s high sided vessels. I feel that the conventional props would be to advantage in these circumstances. Perhaps some of the newer type high speed vessels have the added advantage of bow and stern thrusters?
@@robertmayhew98 Maneuverability does be an issue with waterjets only at low speed or low engine rpm. That is because of the surface area of waterjet (well the impeller actually) is generally smaller than a standard propeller. A propeller could displaced great amount liquid because of its large size but still require greater thrust and the rudder for maneuverability. Waterjets require thrust, maybe at 20% or 30% of engine rpm to maneuver a vessel, but at high speed they can turn a vessel faster and sharper than those with propeller. That is because waterjets can generate greater thrust even at same engine rpm as though with propellers.
I'm living in Trinidad & Tobago, two islands located in the Caribbean just off the coast of South America, Venezuela to be exact. When i commute between both islands so often, i used the high speed catamaran ferries powered by waterjets, many years before we use to have monohull vessels driven by propeller so i have some knowledge of marine propulsion. We are in a process of taking two new fast ferries, one is already built and is fitting out. Austal built this one named A.P.T. James, a 94m high speed catamaran ferry for us. Incat is building the other one for us, a 100m wave piercing catamaran which suppose to be completed not too soon. That one would be named Buccoo Reef.
I see the usual bathtub admirals and other non-entities are here to remind us that there are those that do, and there are those who criticise. Well done Austal.
What a beauty Love from Sri Lanka.🇱🇰👍
From Jafna or Colmbo
From Zeerust South Africa
Now That's Impressive!!!!
Nice looking boat but the gloss red highlights the uneven plates too much
First boat launch that makes sense.
Beautiful.
Maybe, next time, we build it IN LINE with the dock. Ok?
She is beautiful
@@kellytozarindamasceno6709 wow I thought ships worldwide were referred to as she.
Maybe it's just an English language term.
I'm from Belfast.
@@MONK-7 No its not just English the french, germans and many others do it too perhaps its a European/western thing
I heard they cross the country to find the correct spot where to launch the boat.
Animation at its best.😀
Im imagining its awsome power..
Great video! It would be worth the trip to Australia just to see this! So you just saved me about US $10K! 💰👍😎
Amazing...which I could be on it in the water!
Now that's a bunch of boat to jockey around.
Nice ship
Top stuff austal 😀
Nice! I'll take 2.
HIGHT SPEED BEETLE GOOD TRAVEL ! !
I hope SANTA CLAUS wIll bring me one for CHRISTMAS this year,,,,,LOL
dont think Santa has a shipyard
ずいぶんかっこいいな。
It looks like three boats combined together. I want to know what is the advantage? Stability on heavy wave?
Stability and a lighter keel thereby faster and more efficient
@@tumao_kaliwat_napulo Thanks for your comment. Since I'm Japanese, I'm lokking forward to use this ship. And thanks for Austlaian made this great ship!
@@nyankorunaway2446 you're welcome. Have a good time and good day to you sir...
So how much would this ship cost around ? Where can I learn ?
Cool name and nice video clip
A.P.T James launch video???
Very beautiful.uau...
Beautiful yacht
Hermosa. Te saludo Cordialmente desde CHILE LATINOAMERICA.
Its not a yacht its a ferry
Does it have ezy fit hydraulic cylinders austal ships ? I work there 😃
Ok, how much? Think I'll get 1 if my stimulus check ever shows up.
Fukuoka to Busan? Hope it is not like that train to Busan with all those zombies
Is this from Balamban, Cebu, Philippines?
I hope they remembered to put the plug in.
We can still build great things in Australia .
It's great to know that globalism hasn't destroyed our Australian enthusiasm and intelligence.....yet .
No bow thrusters! I guess a hull design like that one does not allow space for bow thrusters.
Здравствуйте!! Очень красивая яхта! Надеюсь и ходить она будет великолепно.
Uma maravilha da engenharia moderna.👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The hull looks uneven and not well finished - why can you see each individual panel that was used?
$$$ Most commercial and military vessels have slightly uneven hull plates and welds. Now on a private YACHT, the owner can (and usually does) pay lots of extra money for purely cosmetic touches.
The Japanese could build luxury cars and battleships, so wonder why they didn't build ship like this themselves.
Where could I find the diagrams/3d model for this hull shape?
Riam, vocês merecem!
I couldn't tell what the name of the ship was
The paint scheme is cheesey, but I loved the music.
Yup... the music makes it "awesome"... whether it is or not.
Geeeeeee, what type of boat is it??
Inside tour please
It might look pretty, but we have one here and its the most hated boat we have ever had. Constantly cancelled due to weather, where as the cats it replaced ran in almost any weather. The motion on it has to be experienced to believe it.
