How To Build An 80,000 Ton Ocean Liner | Extreme Constructions

315 meters long, 65 meters high, weighing 80,000 tones and capable of transporting more than 7,000 people, the Meraviglia is the ultimate cruise ship. But how was she built ?

We followed her development at the St. Nazaire construction site, a building ground for the world’s biggest vessels. There more than 2,500 men working day and night, using the latest technological developments to lessen the environmental impact.

The Suez Canal. The Paris Metro. Strasbourg Cathedral. These masterpieces of constructions redefined what was possible at the time, using the latest technologies and developments. In this five part series, we reveal how five great monuments were designed and constructed.

I wouldn't think being on a ship that large would feel like you're on a cruise. It would be like being on land, in a huge hotel.

I went on a cruise only twice in my life. The first about 15 years ago, and the second just this year. The difference in technology is quite evident. I was very surprised that there was ZERO engine hum on the new ships. I did not even know we left the port until I walked out and saw the sea rushing by below

this is a great investment by french engineers and with the American Aid

This same video was on another channel years ago

Les Franzosen, world best shipbuilders

30 seconds in ‘weight of eighty thousand tons’. Sure hope he doesn’t mean the usual ship measurement of ‘gt’ which is closer to saying volume. I might wrong but had to nitpick. Excited to watch the rest though 😀.

Where could you put a solar array large enough? I think Hydrogen is the answer

[leehansen]

The steel plates of the ship are welded NOT soldered! OOPS!
Also any vessel that exceds 100 feet or 30.48 meters is called a ship. Earlier in the video he called it a boat and later a ship.
It's not hard to critique the video when the description is so bad.

If it takes six million hours of work to complete, that means the ship will be ready in 685 years

I think he means six million worker hours

Somewhere out there is another Captain learning to be an alcoholic.

[a-aron]

Yanno what, $100 per hour of design construction and materials isn't bad. I actually thought it'd cost around 1.2billion.

50000 years from now archeological scholars will debate why their ancestors put giant wangs on the front of all ships

[kuzmade]

6 million hours? That is 684.9315068 calendar years!

[marconius]

Never ever would i go on one of those floating petri dish.
If one of the passengers catches a disease everybody is F-upped...

[SamSitar]

a longer hull bulb should be more efficient.

[soco]

Just a couple minutes into this, the guy says steel plates are soldered.

[andilanzarote]

if this behemot is @ 600.000.000, I wonder what´s builded in in Bezos´ yacht for 500.000.000 🤔

[colinvanful]

i have watched this 4 times now !
i used to work in a ship yard , what an amazing bit of engineering, it almost makes me want to go on a cruise
sadly im a pure 100% landlubber :)

Good documentary, but I wish they dubbed instead of using subtitles.
Also, it's a bit old. The Meraviglia entered service in June 2017, 5 years earlier than this videos upload date.
