Behind the scenes jobs which we normally don't get to see involving highly sophisticated equipment and procedures; very fascinating indeed . Hopefully a lot of the hazardous jobs are now being performed by machines instead of humans .

Please remember that LNG transportation involves cryogenic technology same as in a space exploration.

I'm cigarette smoker and I ask Google if they allow smoking in a oil shipping container. For safety compliance you can smoke in a designated place only.

You used so much Bosphorus video footage on this one. I felt like I was at home, lol.
Thank you!

[CHEZZDOG]

I liked the music in the background, and the story held my interest for the most part.

I love tankers, these beautiful powerful vessels💪⚓

[LUVUTV]

such a big ship.it's great to see it

[billynomates]

just want to say that the video segment at 1:05 is very good. though more fossil fuels are consumed in other sectors, the oil-dependent, many small, fast-scurrying, passenger/light vehicles crossing the bridge as compared with the single, slow-moving mammoth pol-delivering tanker, well, i don't know. i've run out of words but as i've said, thought it was good.

Tankers: Crude, Product, Chem, OBO (Ore, Bulk, Oil), OBO-C (OBO but with Chem options), Gas tankers (LNG, LPG, Methane, Hydrogen, others), FSO Floating Storage, FPSO Floating Product Storage, FLNG Floating LNG Production, ...

[johnking]

To maintain a 2% rate increase in oil production would require building 30 new oil tankers per year at a cost of 4 billion dollars. Ball park numbers... And that is just crude oil tankers. Something to consider when reading that the global economy is stuck in a pattern of 1.5% growth rate per year.

WAS EXPECTING OIL TANKERS HERE NOT A COMMERCIAL FOR LNG

[morrisparrish]

But we “can’t” transport water to the Colorado river!
(WTF do you suppose that is?)

[bobdillon]

Why do they feel the need to dumb these types of things down so much.

[JimmyDoggy-bc]

While I was studying Marian engineering . . Met some of the pirates & smuggling folks

With them made hell of money left the country .

[ClaudeRochon]

Environmental Stewardship. I like that pragmatic no-nonsense approach. For the rich and powerful are equally at risk of losing it all here... as we ordinary folks are. So the politicians may argue COP after COP but the Industrial Actors must strive to play it safe by acting as pre-emptors in the face of terminal threats...such as irreversible Climate change. You get my Vote ! and my money. Because...all that i may be a long-time cyclist ...i depend on paved roads....paved in a safe renewable way...and THAT'S a real BIG challenge.

Hi I am very interested to know more about the LNG tanker's, I would like to form JV business partnership with a LNG tanker owner or own a LNG tanker, myself for my resource owners I am also a resource owner for one of the Wellheads in the Papua LNG project which is call TUNA Wellhead within Petroleum Prospecting License number 474 in the Gulf of Papua in Papua New Guinea.

Please do advice me on who I can meet to discuss a way forward to form JV partnership to participate in the Papua LNG project spine off contracts as resources owner's.

With regards..

Troy Miri Meatoro

Everyone should ask itself.. how much energy is lost from the original natural gas until it reahes its destination? Its al lot. It is not sustainable, very close to needing more energy to get it, than it releases in the end.

Stop the oil supply to hindian)only one day.
