I was in this episode, worked a the shipyard... Got in about 6 shots, when editing was done I was in 1 shot like 50 ft away facing other direction tack welding the bulkhead.. Had my family so hyped up when episode aired... Lol
I have watched a propeller being machined for an aircraft carrier at the Newport News Shipyard. It was the coolest thing I have ever watched. A ballnosed endmill 6" in diameter made pass after pass, the chips flying off were dark blue and smoking. Once the rough shape was there, men moved in with disk sanders to give the smooth finish and finalize the shape. They had a guy that would walk around with various templates and a can of spray bluing. He would check a section, spray the high sections, then another would hit that area again until it was perfect.
The "bluing" was probably a product called Dychem it is known as layout fluid. It is a fast drying brittle coating. Used for scribing metal and other stuff just like this. Be cool to see that in person. Did you work there?
+Aaron Loyd why is this so weird? take a look at the company that built these ships www.akerphiladelphia.com/section.cfm?path=1,242 overseas new york was built before overseas texas but overseas texas was the ship to have the 3 diesel generators on it. so i do not know why the name was changed from overseas texas when according to their website overseas texas is the one with 3 diesel generators! maybe im just thinkin too hard lmao. probably just changed the name and they all probably have 3 generators they just specify it on the website so it makes it look different. they are all sponsored by different people so I would assume someone came up short at the last minute lol
Aaron Loyd yea very interesting indeed. i just find it slighty weird that there would be a overseas texas switched over but that ship wasnt "built" till about a year later(8 months if i remember) takes 8 months to build a ship...idk. im no expert
This guy does the best episodes, also if they've got the heating coils on ready to unload and there are any fumes leaking then yeah, smoking could become very very bad for the environment
i have been on this ship before a lots of times ,working the discharge side at the dock in texas,real nice ship,the koreans are building a much better ships right now,easy to get around on deck
no sir it's not ironic.the phrase no smoking is there because smoking on tanker vessels has cause explosions and oil spillage in the past.just for your information
That is actually highly efficient when you have to consider the huge amount of cargo these ships move. Giant vehicles like these and freight trains are the most efficient vehicles in the world. Not sad at all.
@@Vscustomprinting actually, maritime transport is the most emission efficient mean of transport, and the main one too. Most of the things that you have in your home have been in a ship once, so you are contributing to the "destruction of the world" just like Jeff.
I like How it's Made... but c'mon.... they squeezed a process that usually takes months to years to complete... into four and a half minutes. In comparison, the episode where they make tractor wheels, it took 20 minutes.
So I got to thinking about oil spills from tankers. I'm no expert on these ships by a long shot, but what if each of those tanks holding oil was the self-sealing type used in aircraft and other high performance applications, so when punctured, foam expands to plug the hole? Are they doing that and if not, would it be a good improvement?
The larger the vehicle the more energy efficient it is. Volume increase by ^3, while the surface area increase by less than that. So the bigger the ship going through the water, the less energy you need to push it through the water, compared with the amount of stuff you can bring. Per ton cargo moved the largest ships are most environmentally friendly. If only we had enough renewable energy to fill it up with hydrogen gas (the future will be even larger ships, with hydrogen fuel cells).
It's because water is really heavy. Have you ever picked up a big bucket of water? Heavy stuff. If you displace 1 ton of water, that creates a buoyant force of 1 ton. And 1 cubic meter of water weighs an entire ton. Just imagine how many cubic meters is taken up by that giant ship.
I once worked on a concrete sailboat (42 feet long). Concrete or metal isn't a solid shape, it's a hollow shape. When placed in water, cup-side up, the whole thing can't weigh more than the cubic volume of the water it displaces. As long as it's less, it will float.
do you have a video about a marine shaft generator, how it works and also a turbine generator as well, i need to know this coz im plan to go onboard ship as electrician
I worked in the paint department when this they filmed this. The only shot was of a painter named pato we called him lol. The guy checking the thickness was a Greek guy named George he was alright.
Hi there Michelle! Do you live off the grid? If you have a job, does your employer operate off the grid? I'm sure that you use oil in one way shape or form. Surely you thus realize the irony of your statement. Have an oil free day, as you will not survive.

It's utterly ingrained in society and is absolutely not a problem for everyday use. We use the metric system for precise measurements, such as in engineering or scientific experiments. This is a show aimed at the layman - the general public in the US. So they use imperial units.
I worked in NewPort News shipyard owned by Tennico co. On a supper tanker , built with double hull around 1974.They were also building air craft carrier vessel “Carl C. Vincent”, and a Los Angeles class submarine for the government. They had just rehauled the USS America, when a hired out their
@cockercane Well they are referring to the ecological disaster that would result when a the ship is set ablaze from a cigarrete and it releases its oil into the ocean.
There has to be a mistake in the stated figure of "10,000 hp" for the ship's motive power. That is way too low for a ship this size. There are locomotives with more HP.
Ironic how the deckhouse has “Protect The Environment” and it’s an oil tanker that can emit more toxic emissions in one trip than a city full of cars can in a year.
Acker shipyards in Philadelphia, at the Naval Yard. You can see it on the cranes. Philadelphia used to be a major shipbuilding center for 200 years. In WW2 it used steel from Bethlehem, PA to build battleships. Nowadays it is operational building ships under the Jones Act, which requires ships that operate only between US ports to be built in America. I was wondering myself why they didn't feature a shipyard such as the Hyundai Heavy shipyard in Ulsan, which is probably the world's largest and most efficient shipyard.
Define efficient... If you consider nearly slave labor practices with shit safety records efficient then ya. North Korean workers who are slaves find themselves in China and Europe.
Naked Acres What are you talking about? The Korean ship building industry is based in SOUTH Korea and built by unionized workers. Ulsan, the center of the South Korean shipbuilding industry, has the highest per capita income in all of South Korea.
Benissimo molta tipologia di produzione,capisco e comprendo anche la produzione in serie,ma alcune cose non le comprendo,specifico. 1)Và fatto molto preassemblaggio dei tubi in fabbrica (2/3/4 pezzi uniti)con macchine avvitanti bulloni come quelle usate per il montaggio ruote in fabbrica. 2)Ora due parole ai programmatori di robot,bisogna assolutamente velocizzare in modo sostanziale le operazioni passive dei robot,specie in punti dove non c'è presenza umana,parlo lavoro di ritorno del robot. 3)Assurdo poi verniciare grandi superfici laterali delle navi senza l'uso di robot su una gru a posto dell'uomo.
well yeah I understand, it's extremely efficient for what it transports vs. what it uses, but look @ the bigger picture, it's still burning a lot of shit off.
So why would thousands upon thousands of more dollars be spent paying workers to grind welds for an even surface for painting when paint obviously sticks to uneven surfaces?
Yes, but the solution is to produce enough energy to produce hydrogen from seawater, for the boats to "burn" in hydrogen fuel cells (its basically burning, only without harmful nitrous oxide and whatnot coming out of the exhaust). If we simply stop moving things we only extend the change (climate change would simply go slightly slower, going over to hydrogen from windmills or fusion would stop climate change). PS: I'm not saying we couldn't make everything we move weigh less, improve everything.
I was in this episode, worked a the shipyard... Got in about 6 shots, when editing was done I was in 1 shot like 50 ft away facing other direction tack welding the bulkhead.. Had my family so hyped up when episode aired... Lol
cool story bro
+Cann Abis Don't respond if you don't care.
How do they secure the different parts of the tanker that are assembled when it is built in blocks? Does a well really hold?
An inch of weld can hold a ton, provided it's done correctly with my spattering. So yes, welds can hold a ship together.
really man I don't think so bro sorry though cool story if its true
Its amazing how they summed up the entire process in 5 mins...
5 minutes to make an oil tanker from scratch? Awesome!
I have watched a propeller being machined for an aircraft carrier at the Newport News Shipyard. It was the coolest thing I have ever watched.

Phil Vorgias It sure looked like it. I am sure it was some alloy of bronze that is tougher.
The "bluing" was probably a product called Dychem it is known as layout fluid. It is a fast drying brittle coating. Used for scribing metal and other stuff just like this. Be cool to see that in person. Did you work there?
For those who are interested, the first steam driven oil tanker was called the Vaderland.
Neat how they reuse parts. At 4:53 it changes from Overseas Texas to New York.
+Aaron Loyd why is this so weird? take a look at the company that built these ships www.akerphiladelphia.com/section.cfm?path=1,242

LOL the guy at 4:19 with the 4 1/2" grinder, "just another 15 weeks and I'll be done!"
3:23 What a solid advice from tge *Oil* industry. Such irony
Its incredible how things are made, who knows, in the future robots will be doing all of this
i have been on this ship before a lots of times ,working the discharge side at the dock in texas,real nice ship,the koreans are building a much better ships right now,easy to get around on deck
I loled when i saw "save the environment, no smoking"
can you please explain why you loleD sir??
kinda ironic dont youthink?
no sir it's not ironic.the phrase no smoking is there because smoking on tanker vessels has cause explosions and oil spillage in the past.just for your information
the save the environment part is the ironic part. the no smoking is understandable
oh I guess you mean the products this vessels carry??

It's a good thing they are building more oil tankers since we have hit peak oil....
hahaaaa.... this is so neat and tidy XD You have GOT to see the conditions and the quality of a Chinese build

Only 16 months to build that ship? Thats pretty fast if you ask me.
LOL on the Deck house it says 'Protect the Environment'
***** You gotta explain how a cig butt is more harmful in water where its going to decay away, than the burning of oil

so when the oil is in there it's exposed to open air?
Do you know how much oil these things move without problems?
i like the finger tightening technique.
Magnific 👍
@4gasem it's sand; flux wouldn't hold to in industrial welding. it's only to keep out any contaminants. :)
10 gallons/mile would be really good for a vehicle that big. I'll bet it is closer to 50 to 100 gallons per mile
still amazing to me ho a giant hunk of metal doesn't sink
YU-GI-OH Con Cajones basic physics

OK, I think I've got it, could I get just a bit more information on shaping section GB 5S14 ?
@cockercane I think they are suppose to be 2 massages that just happen to put in the same area.
I want to see how they make the toy tanker in the beginning, those shipbuilders must have been small
do you have a video about a marine shaft generator, how it works and also a turbine generator as well, i need to know this coz im plan to go onboard ship as electrician
It’s amazing we can do stuff like that. I find it difficult enough to screen print tee shirts ;) Come get some Catspit~! ☠
thats good, i learned some new facts
Like those flux cored welds...
yeah you're right, its really efficient, but still loads of fuel is being burnt, but i guess you gotta do what you gotta do

It’s not really ironic as that sign is there because of previous oil spills. The smoking one underneath has been on them for years and years
The rail road uses the cheapest diesel, sometimes it's around $1 a gallon, I'm told those diesels will burn the trashiest of fuel
It said "save the environment" on it LOL
I really think it's time to US adopt the metric system. They are currently using "football fields" as length unity.
+Fernando Davillar they are using that as a simple point of reference for the layman.......
Metric system will never work in the us.
Leon Rachey I never understood why. It's a very good and logic system. Why base a system in "parts of a dead king"?
It's utterly ingrained in society and is absolutely not a problem for everyday use. We use the metric system for precise measurements, such as in engineering or scientific experiments. This is a show aimed at the layman - the general public in the US. So they use imperial units.
Aye, it would be better if they used european football fields as a measurement.
110,000+ parts. Quite a Lego set.
great!
How do they secure the different pieves in place?
They are all welded together.
superglue
Yupz. Always in size of football field. American favourite unit of measurement. 😁
if you compare it, it means you can move about a ton of cargo for about 400 mpg or better. There is almost nothing more efficient.
@cockercane As opposed to smoking, blowing up the oil tanker and spilling the cargo into the ocean?
They are using a sub arc welding. The stuff coming out the machine is called flux not sand.
Did anyone notice the name lettering on the bow be repainted from Texas to New York?
I did.

haha im pretty sure theyre talking about igniting the oil. but at the same time, those 10,000 horsepower engines probably literally only get 0.1 mpg
They left out the part where they install the Kramerica bladder system.

a plasma cutter O.O can i use that in battle?
What is a country of this shipyard in this movie??
@MrMalyMisiu Aker Philidelphia shipyard is in the USA.
1:20 WHAT WAS THE FIRST STEAM-DRIVEN OIL TANKER CALLED?????
I MUST KNOW NOW!
@cockercane Well they are referring to the ecological disaster that would result when a the ship is set ablaze from a cigarrete and it releases its oil into the ocean.
Tankers are built the same way as all ships 3 months and 75 days just to put it together.
There might be an image in those pixels
ain't that a bit of a microengine for such ship? I was expecting to see a three-floor warstila put in there
really? there is a lot of planning? i thought they just started welding steel together
@cockercane
Credit cars are made of plastic, a patroleum product.
There has to be a mistake in the stated figure of "10,000 hp" for the ship's motive power. That is way too low for a ship this size. There are locomotives with more HP.
A 570 ft. T-2 tanker built during WW2 required atleast 50,000 hp and the T-2 is way smaller @ 125,000 barrels capacity.
60months or 16??
Just 10000 hp?
How many crew members ride that boat?
My guess is 10,000.
Hopefully the front doesn't fall off.
Clarke and Dawe ftw!
Ships name changed with time, at first it was called "Overseas Texas City" 4:51 and then "Overseas New York" 4:53
Overseas New York, Home port is Wilmington DE - Built in 2008

How much this thing cost
why not show all the systems installed? this was just the iron and paint
That's a good
Please tell me they still hit the ship with champagne.
did you know, the first oil tanker was launched by the british?
Soo ummm where is this 10,000HP diesel engine that drives the boat¿ They left out the best part ....
@MrJohnDevour It just puts it into perspective....
Most oil tankers these days are made in the far east-Japan, Korea or China. Where as this one made?
