How Do Oil Platforms Get Their Groceries? | Richard Hammond's Big

While visiting the Appomattox Platform in the Gulf of Mexico, Richard Hammond helps with the task of receiving a new grocery delivery to feed the crew. Turns out, it's quite the complex process!

That guy on the ship was down to business

[arkit]

It's like watching Michael Scott and darryl from the office

Love Damiens response to Richard asking to help, 100% straight up no bs.

Hammond :"control the oil rig for one day"


Oil stocks :"mayday mayday we going down"

Richard was kinda sad that he didn't get to do any work on that ship lol

"What can I do to help?" "GET OUT OF MY WAY" LOL

The supply vessel was from the Edison Chouest fleet.
They call Chouest the Cajun Navy.
Biggest company you’ve never heard of.
9 shipyards, 400+ vessels worldwide, family owned and operated.
I worked for Chouest for 14 years.
Not sure which vessel that was but it was one of the newer ones.
Nice vessels.
The Dynamic Positioning System is incredible, about 7 computers coordinate the vessels thrusters and main propulsion systems and the vessel will sit in one spot like its sitting on a rock, kinda amazing if you consider the wind is pushing the vessel one direction the waves and current in another.
The captain and crew monitor the system only correcting it if needed, which is rarely.

“Richard Hammond’s Big” three words I never thought I’d see in the same sentence.

Must be a really interesting job Richard has at the moment, visiting all these incredible engineering projects all over the world

"I just need you to stand outta my way"

that's what you get for hanging James on his sleeping tent

I'm taking up Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering. This video makes me motivated. When I down I always watch this video to make my self motivated. So thankful that you documented this video :)

My son works as a chemist around the world on these platforms. They are the most highly organised and safety conscious environments you can find. I bet they just loved having a film crew on board.. :))

Don’t know how this showed up on recommended, but truly glad it did😂

Richard Hammond’s documentaries are an opportunity to learn a lot of things. It is a great learning platform. Keep up the excellent job.

5:00 “Some sort of liquid, very important” lol 😂

[its_vintage]

Gotta respect that man he is 100% business. "I just need you to stay out of the way" 😂😂

[masonfuckboy]

I like how he says “traditional Louisiana stew”

[mitchellbliss]

Same with many ocean objects or creatures you see on camera. It's tough to scale how massive these rig platforms truly are without having anything to compare it too!
