mega ice breaker

The large vessel is certainly one of the most interesting stories in ship building. I grew up in Bremerhaven, Germany and witnessed many ships from around the world. The Germans have always been top ranked engineers. When a ship this size is built there are all sorts of problems. The video is wonderful. Thanks a million.

Interesting tech, beautiful ship. Well done to all involved.

I was amazed at the way they built this ship. In a covered dry dock where the weather would be no problem.

It is the mv "Arctic" of Canarctic / Fednav, that was launched in 1978, that is shown at the beginning of this video. This vessel was built under a consortium of the Canadian Government, Canarctic & Fednav. It was designed as a prototype and test platform for a planned fleet of some six vessels, to haul minerals in bulk, out of the high Canadian Arctic. Her initial task was carrying zinc concentrate out of the Nanisivik mine, on northern Baffin Island to Antwerp, Belgium.

Lloyd's ice class 1A Super; Canada ice class 3 (2.0 kts in 1.5m ice). Dwt 27700. She was built at Port Weller Dry Docks, in St. Catharines, Ontario.

The mv "Arctic", was the trailblazer of merchant icebreakers.

Really does annoy me when the executive pen pushes take all the credit for what the real core manual work force that has actually done the work and produced this precise mega engineering marvel!!!!

I envy these Industrial Engineers in these advanced countries. I need myself some of that experience.

If I'm not mistaken. The front prop sucks the water from under the ice pushing it aft. This leaves a void and, the weight of the ship pushing forward and down, breaks the ice.

It looks so funny seeing the people jumping in the water with a rope around them for safety. It looks like the guy is walking his pet human on a leash. LOL

120$ million seems like a bargain for a ship this size.

I've seen some luxury yachts that are priced around 100$ million and they are less than 100m long... and don't even think about taking it through ice!

Seems like the scale of production and the amount of construction hours for a ship this size would be considerably larger than for a luxury yacht only a fraction of the size.

No need these expensive ships, in few years ice wont be a problem anymore 😂

[Argosh]

Everything is an icebreaker if you're brave enough.

REX here in australia we had just a 302 cleveland, in america you guys had the boss 302, windsor block with cleveland style heads, but ours is just a cleveland with a 3 inch stroke crank and 6 inch rods, we still had the bigger 351 cleveland as well.

In Europe they make the process safe. In Australia they load you up with personal protective equipment.

A very interesting video. Thanks for posting for us all to see. 👍

[WJack]

Amazing engineering. Thanks to all for making such magnificent machines. Thanks for posting this video. Good on ya mate.

"they keep their cool better under stress" No the reason they dont have Men running most of the Electric Cranes is the Men are more suited & Skilled and can do multiple function simultaneously, they have a policy of only one motion at a time and the Men were taking too much risk for the Co's comfort by not adhering to their strict policy.

So many mentions of "Yamal" while showing the footage of "50 let Pobedy"
