Maersk - World's Biggest Ship - Discovery Channel

The team at Discovery follows the construction of the world's largest ever container ship as they push engineering boundaries to deliver the first Triple-E on time. This exciting preview gives a glimpse into the series.

In a dock yard the size of a large airfield, an army of engineers is building a ship like no other. it's longer than 4 football pitches and capable of carrying more than 18,000 containers. It's the world's largest ocean going cargo vessel.

So proud to be working for this gigantic company Maersk!

Why do they have to add all of this stupid fake drama? This stuff is interesting without all the terrible fake drama.

[samdasgupta]

Proud to have worked in Maersk Line - Emma maersk, Emilie Maersk, McKinney Maersk and Mathilde Maersk

[kikoalonso]

So these guys can build the world's biggest ship faster than my city can re-pave a road

[Wi-Fi-El]

This was built in a matter of months... That's astounding!

As a proud American the comments posted here sadden me.  In truth, I would like to apologize on behalf of my counterparts who have taken to name calling, insulting, and generally degrading the rest of the world because they have failed to evolve with the times.  It is truly unfortunate that many millions of Americans have lost their jobs to outsourcing, but the response to that should be evolution of our economy, increased educational opportunities and job training to make us more competitive. The response should NOT be insulting parts of the world which are experiencing their own industrial revolutions much as the US did in the early 1900s.  

(And before you flame away, consider that I worked for over a decade as an auto mechanic and then returned to school for an engineering degree. If I can evolve, so can you.)

I'm glad when arrives triple E to the terminal. This ship is really impressive and I like to work on them :)

Designed in Denmark,  built in China, and assembled in Korea.

[markalexmclennan]

"millions of cubic tons" right

[chrisfitzmaurice]

You gotta respect the Danes. 

Viking long ships - and now this.

[TheAndySeoul]

thanks, Maersk Channel for giving no credit to the hard working people of Korea's Daewoo Company which builds these gigantic ships.  you should also know that all of the world's top cruise ships and many aircraft carrier and warships are built by Korea's other shipbuilding giants, Samsung, Hyundai and STX. just a fun fact

[billmeagher]

I'd love to see Somali Pirates try to board this one!

[juampy]

wow, that was amazing!!!. I'm really looking forward to next part, I can't wait.

[manishshah]

I've had the pleasure of going on board a Triple E -amazing experience! Truly remarkable 😀

[EngineeringFun]

Biggest where, in Denmark? There are and were quite a few tankers over 4 times larger (DWT over 600k tons).

The widest ship ever ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier) was built in my small home town in Sweden, Uddevalla. It was called TT Nanny. Later bought by some American company and renamed to Sea World before it was disassembled in China in 2004.

[michaelhardin]

I have always wondered how do they fit all that cargo on the ships and have it equally balanced so that no containers fall off.

[PlaSTYXcs]

:) The ships were designed and built in South Korea, by Korean engineers at the world's top tier shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering! ...greetings from Romania to our colleagues from DSME! Good job!

[notnice]

The amount of Arnold accents in this video it too damn high

[F.A.A.F.]

I would like to know how I can watch the documentary??? It seems it was only broadcast in Europe and Asia.
