could you check if my USB cable I ordered from China is on there somewhere?
its in the container row 3rd from the left, 23 containers deep and 5 high

But what about the battery powered pu- excuse me, toy that I ordered from Adam & Eve?
He dragged in the guy who designed the ship to build a lego set of his own ship. Epic
@Jorn Navarre What would it be like with Clarkson then? :´D

I love it ahahaha

😂 Dang it. You beat me to it.
And the ship's architect doesn't build the ship, he designs it. Maybe even oversees the build, perhaps. But he doesn't build the ship. The shipyard does that.
That was a little rude
This is actually a speed boat, just looks big compared to Richard.
😆🤭
What an insult
Big oof
Is it you jeremy ?😂
This is savage. I know it is a joke. But it is brutal.
And you never thought a few of us might like to see the engine room
probably trade secrets and all that.
@@thomasthetanderloin nah. He could have shown it if he wanted to
@@anonymousduh1424 are you sure about that? Ships handle 90% of trade, so any shift of performance changes between the competitors of container ships and thereby transportation rates can globally affect economies and make billions for individual companies.
@@thomasthetanderloin do you really think a competitor waits for Hammond to upload a video on TH-cam to have information about a ship engine?!? Really? Ahahaha you made my day ahahah
@@REVOLUTIONS51 no, they wait for their competitors to show off their new engines to the public
Wow, this is ridiculously cool. I have never seen the inside of a cargo ship and never realized that the shipping containers get stacked below deck, and even below sea level! It makes sense! Great job, Hammond
You do realize nearly EVERY boat, not just ship runs below sea level...... It's called a waterline for a reason.
W😱W
@@OffGridInvestor thats not what he meant, I think almost everyone knows that he was saying that he didn't know the containers are actually stacked below deck as well. I also thought they were just stacked on top.
Take a look at what goes under your seat in a plane.
Remember when Hammond built an ambulance that had an ejector seat for the patient
Yes Hahahaha
Me n my mate were only on about that episode the other day 😂
Yes?
MiguelPpM what ?
Lol
It is sad that they got old.
the scariest thing is not knowing what's really inside any of them containers
Skeletons. Every single one. Packed with skeletons. Spooky
A few rouge spiders?
Containers filled with Wayfair furniture ;)
One of them have human body, trust me.
for what there is a manifest and bill of lading if you do not know what is in the container
Proud to be a seafarer...proud to be a marine engineer....but Richard missed out showing the most important place on the ship.. The nervous system of the ship.. The mighty engine room....
Well said, I thought the same
They're gunna be big aren't they
@@Dan23_7 obviously it is... The most important things are controlled down below from engine room... There is one video on my channel of my ship(though it was tanker and not as big as this ship) but yea you can get a fair idea.. Thanx for the response...
@Wall Cutter you can still go ahead and watch this.. Amazing how they make the ship... And to everyone's surprise these ship's are actually build in more or less in an year time(some yard completes the job in over 6 months)...
I'm sure you meant to say...the bridge..., now back off you go to greasing stuff laddy....
That's the part i was looking forward to see.
So humongous and yet so small in these vast oceans.
Scary to think about
Cannot imagine what sailors back in the 1800s and before had to deal with.. It is frightening
Duck Goose Yh mate just imagine the first Vikings sailing to England in those tiny wooden ships they were some tough bastards
@@conswob4793 ? Every body sailed to england at that time where are you talking about?
@@conswob4793 imagen when the vikings traveled over the north alantic to get to the new world in an single deck sail ship with a terrifiingly small hull that was clearly not meant for open ocean travel.
I think the reason why I love watching Hammond is because he’s just as curious and passionate about what he’s showing. He loves to learn, he loves the magnitude. Seeing him being amazed by huge things or scales makes him relatable. He’s probably my favorite showman.
Agreed
i would love to hear jeremy yells HAMMOOOOOOND in the empty space
there's definitely human trafficking in one of those containers
and MAYYYYYYYYYYYY
Anything will look huge if you compare it to Hammond
Jermery is that you?
Such an original comment do another one
The engineering behind this ship is pretty cool. Wonder how they calculated all the stress this ship will handle and find the correct material to use to construct this beast. Engineering is the beat!
*Who are here after Evergiven stuck in Suez canal?*
Meeeee
meee
Intentional placement
Just imagine all the interesting freight in those containers, that is manifested...... ;)
And the stuff that isn't...
A ship to ship Friday Aliexpress purchases
@@paullangford8179 ZACTLY! 😉
So cool. It might be obvious but the physics of the stacked containers is pretty amazing too, imagine the weight on the bottom container with 20 others on-top of it, especially considering I think the containers only touch/connect at the corners..!
transatlant1 some of the individual containers are 30 or 40 tons. It’s absolutely nutty to think about a stack of 21 of them. Napkin math says that 600 tons or more is possible.
It was not fully 20 plus container height in one stack without any barrier. Below deck can hold as much as 10-11 height then it was close using hatch cover. Meanwhile above deck can hold as much as 11-12 height 😄
There is something that needs to be done before every trip to avoid problems with the cargo. that is planning where will each container be on board of the ship.
You have a few challenges which are (for example) putting them in a way considering their unloading port to avoid having to unload other containers unnecessarily to load or unload others, distancing containers that have dangerous cargo (some cant be loaded together and must have a space according to the IMDG code, others might need to be above deck, and others might need to bee far from the living quarters) and be carefull because you cant put a 20 ft container on top of a 40 ft one (you dont have where to secure the 20ft one in the midle of the 40ft one).
But there is one problem that must be noticed when doing this planning, that is the weight of each container. The person destributing the cargo needs to try to put the ligher containers on top of the heavier containers (+ all the other problems that i mention before).
So if this plan is made right you can have less problem with it since the heavier containers would be either on the bottom of the hold or on the deck with and the lighest ones would be on top of the others (again, either on the hold or the deck).
Maximum Stacking Weight is something about 150-200 Tons. The Containers on Deck are mostly empty so you can stack more than 8-10 Pieces onto the Hatch Covers.
@@13dg your putting way too much thought into something that is done automatically by the shipping software.
Imagine if one of those ships would stuck in a small canal? That would be a disaster
Too soon.
Are you from the future by any chance?
small canal ? this stuck ship has 400m length
Its already freed .. you are late
Evergiven
these vessel's are childs play when compared to the newest class of ulc containership vessel's which can hold up to 24,000 TEU.
They always name the categories like they're the top end forever. Like what's gonna come next? Ultra Mega Large Containerships?
Do you know what you're talking about?
Yea say hello to HMM ALGECIRAS
*c h i l d s*
Built by Samsung South Korea.. the best ship yard..
Im here after one of these bad boys plugged the suez canal👀
Forget the politics, wars, big powers and their interests...
I am grateful just to be alive at this time to see a marvel of technology like this ship.
Simply: awesome!
There's something comfy/cozy to me about sleeping aboard one of these in middle of a snow storm.
Thank you suez canal
The engineering behind this is mind blowing
This ship is amazing.
Never thought they were like that, wow!
Merchant seamen of decades gone by would look on the spotlessly clean, bright interior and unimaginably large cargo capacity in awe and envy!
The vessel is a masterpiece of modern design, engineering, technology and manufacturing capabilities!
The small crew required to safely manage a vessel of this size is indicative of the degree of technology and automation designed in.
Imagine the chaos if something went wrong
Evergreen
LOL
I was looking to see if two of these could transform into a tandem (side by side like a catamaran), when x-open seas,
4:22 - "It's purpose is to stop ship from flexing" - Oh, I think it's flexing enough by its size.
“You’re looking at one of the biggest moving objects ever made, only second to your mom”
I am triggered that Richard just ripped open all the numbered LEGO bags at once.
This ship is still waiting to get unloaded along the coast of California.
18,000 Containers on one ship? That's is amazing.
"If they are not big enough it would be difficult to manouveur the ship"
Suez Canal: "And I took that personally."
This ship has deck hatches so it has a deck, just a moveable one .
But they're hatches, not a deck.
It would be like calling a big door, a wall.
@@sergarlantyrell7847 it was implied that there was no deck, but there is, having no deck would mean open to the sea and put the ship in danger .
Deck hatches !
@@sergarlantyrell7847 hmm, but big walls can be doors?
And really anything can be anything if we decide to name it so
FYI when they talk container-ship cargo capacity, they measure it in "TEU", 20-foot containers, of variable height. Most intermodal ocean containers are 40 or 45 foot long, with longer seen on the US/CAN rails. Container heights vary too. Meaning, the numbers can be deceiving. Computers are essential for tracking containers in many ways, including planning and implementing stowage plans. Moving containers is enormously more efficient than dealing with previous break-bulk ships, also orders of magnitude more secure at pierside, with far less pilferage.
give me cargo nets and boxes any day.
@@alexjohnward Just a few probs: A) stowing, and removing, cargo with the many deck levels involved was extremely labor intensive, and risky to the cargo. B) Not to mention time-consuming (expensive for labor and inport delay. C) at all stages cargo was subject to "inspection" by stevedores, drivers, ship's company. Were you one of those "merchandise-samplers"? Even US DOD now really likes self-sustaining container-capable ships such as modified Sea-Land ships. What matters is WHY?
US DOD were the early adopters, so much so, that the early lines, like Maersk expanded because of the US military. Vietnam was the proving grounds for container shipping.
40 foot long. And 20 foot long. There's a few 10 footers but you rarely see them.
@@OffGridInvestor I've never seen Ships with ISO-Lashings spaced for 10 ft Containers, although I've seen some of those Containers but never used for Shipping; only as portable Storage Space on Construction Sites.
Whose here during the Ever Given incident?
Evergreen?
The incident will inspire kids to become navy architects
@@TJ22_83 Evergreen is the company name, the ship's name is Evergiven.
They just freed it yesterday
Wonder if Hammond was driving
This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen
Then go watch videos on Nimitz-cass aircraft carriers my dude, imagine this but faster, armored, and covered in fighter jets!
@@legogenius1667 definitely will check it out thanks Lego
Worked in MAERSK Line for 7 years, man it was some experience.
Just for your information: Each of these containers fills up one SINGLE truck
The LEGO part is so awesome.
Thankfully the ship is not made of plastic. Just wanted to point that out...
Anyone here in 2021 while container ships are stuck and unable to unload their cargo???
With some juicy tunes, full fridge, place to make a coffee, bit of furniture, I could stay in that hold area quite contentedly!
They got the last two Es correct. I barely saw any smoke at all, even accounting for low-sulphur fuel
Hammond is a great host for documentaries, keep this man working!
It’s just crazy how something so heavy can stay above water
Richard Hammond makes everything sensible.
I AM BLESS TO BE A PART OF THE CREW IN MARIE MAERSK
Do you not get bored having no lifestyle? Just get up, work repeat
@@finesoul677 They get time off. I know one that took a whole year off from work to take a break and came back just fine
Hammond always makes it fun, doesn't he?
Perfect example of a Liminal space, that spooky haunted feeling of something, just isn't right...
Everything is big in Hammonds eyes.
Wow I'm impressed it'll be a shame if it ever got lodged on a side of a canal...
Wow thanks for the tour of your row boat Hammond!
"You're looking at one of the very biggest objects ever made."
I thought Hammond was opening up with a savage Yo Momma joke.
That's gnarly. I load and unload those containers and they look so tiny on the ship. That is a huge ship.
WHAT!? They have containers underneath inside the cargo ship?? I never knew that! 🤯
This is clear, concise, and complete!
You need to see my Lego version of this ship. I bought one Lego kit but the finished item was far two short so I bought another kit and added more bricks to the centre and then I kept on buying bricks until it was the correct length with with the correct number of containers length wise and it is four feet or 122cm long.
That’s pretty cool Peter
You should upload a video of this. I wanna see!
I watched this video when it came out 8 months ago, I came back to get an idea and try to understand what happened in Suez Canal this week with Ever Green's ship.
When you realise the mobile or the laptop which is on your belly right on......................was inside a Ship's belly first.
Love that LEGO model.
Yeah, go Denmark :D
for det var Danmark, for det var danmark, Olé olé olé.
Scandinavia always got the strongest sailors
Lak oraleee
I genuinely like Hammond's sarcasm!!
I saw a video the other day about how they dig the seafloor out at ports just to accommodate these container ships.
Perfect place for a nice metal concert!
I'm wondering how much paper need to documented all shipment on that ship. I mean like for Invoice, AWB, custom declaration, packing list...etc
Seriously plenty of boxes. Maybe 20 archive boxes.
Huge Paperwork on Ships; not just Cargo but also Safety Drills, Crew Effects Declaration, Overtime Sheets...
CI, PL, HBL, MBL, DG form & lots more attached to each shipment. Customs Dec (E2) generates on arrival usually
E -- X -- C -- E -- L -- L -- E -- N -- T ! ! ! ! THANKS FOR THIS !
5:00 "This is a Danish ship."
*shows foreign workers*
I have always had a fascination for huge seagoing behomoths like this and crude carriers. The stress on their keels in high swell must be enormous. Physics and engineering on steroids! Cheers.
It's impossible to appreciate the size of these ships until you've seen one up close. These things are mind boggling.
i love richard hammond
Imangined getting lost down there, finnally find your way out and you end up on another ship
wow its insane, i'd be scared shitless in that hull dude, like is there any chance it just breaks and water comes pouring in, sends shivers down my spine
Interesting timing there TH-cam Algorithm.
Denmark gang, where you at?
Your Amazon order has been dispatched - expected delivery 6 months.
Hammond, you tossing tic tac! You wrecked into me lambo!
The smallest man vs The biggest ship 😂
Yes.
The HMM ALGECIRAS is the biggest container ship
It does make sense now, why they picked Hammond to do the show BIG. 😂😂😂
@@reggieowen7525
Marry Maersk was at one point the Biggest ship in the world, so technically he’s not wrong.
Just the Biggest Maersk Ship
Everyone in world is A Suez canal expert nowadays
That's me!
This should be called, "Richard Hammond plays with LEGO."
Maersk is a very charitable company.
my wish order from 6 months ago is somewhere at the bottom of those containers.
Living in Felixstowe we love containers and the ships we see in the port daily
This must be quite an old programme because the Maersk triple E class hasn’t been the largest for quite a while. The largest currently is Hyundai’s Megamax-24 class. They have a max capacity of 24000teu.
HMM Algeciras is officially considered the largest container ship now yeah
Who's watching this in late March, 2021?
This is actually larger the any cruise ships or aircraft carriers but smaller than the largest oil tankers.
Even this ship is no longer the largest container ship
I know but like the top 30 ships are almost identical in size. All around 397-400m in length. Unless you count the TEU.
I swear Hammond makes any show better
Planning and monitoring this triple e vessel operation in port aint easy mate 😃
But can it drift ? 😂
@@Dan23_7 no it cannot..it was already moored to the bollard in the port to avoid it from drifting
G-day mate how are you?!
released right on my birthday
2:35 the bulging container walls freak me out
Did anyone else see the picture for the video and go Hammond? And it is!
I never got my 64 gb mini can you guys find it on there somewhere ? I’m waiting !!!!
Ps also my rubber chicken
Thank you
I didn’t think “Richard Hammond” and “Big” could fit in the same sentence.
Ok we get it
Richard Hammond loves to travel
The power of the Danish brains.
Realistically, Hammond is so short he could be on Everest and still be 20 meters below sea level.
It looks better than I imagined.
Whoo here after Evergreen ?
imagine this ship sinking. How would we retrieve all the containers?
It would be lost to the sea, many container ships have sunk in the past and usually, some of the containers pop up and float which then land onshore in some parts of the world. If you search for (Nike cargo container) it is one such example, where a container washed up on shore with thousands of pairs of Nike trainers.
Imagine coming across one of these boats docked in a zombie apocalypse, you would find the the end to a need of supplies
