It is the largest heavy load transport on earth! The maiden voyage of the biggest containership of all times.
It is the largest heavy load transport on earth! When the first ship of the brand-new OOCL-fleet gets underway, more cargo is moved at one time than anywhere else in the world and ever before. At 21,100 TEU capacity, the vessels are the largest ever ordered to date.
400 meters long and about as wide as a football field (58.8 meters). These ships will not only be able to load more cargo than ever before, they will also be equipped with a number of high-class energy-saving systems.
This Episode shows the maiden voyage of the OOCL HONG KONG. Everything happens for the first time: the captain, the pilots and the harbour crew have never before manoeuvred a giant ship like this. Berthing, loading, steering: Risky manoeuvres, which have never been tested before.
Once berthed, the cargo loading pushes everyone involved to the limit. Crew, Crane operators and the lashing team. A loading procedure like this, with additional containers on top of the so far known stacking limit, has only been theoretically discussed, but never tested in real life. Balancing the ship, moving and securing the stunning mass of containers is a task, which does not condone even the slightest mistake.
The route from Shanghai to Rotterdam, with stop in Singapore brings constant challenges: pirate areas, onboard emergency drills and the navigation through the narrow waters of the Suez Canal. All of this happens under incredibly high pressure of time – will the world’s largest container ship stay on schedule on its maiden voyage?

anyone else got this sudden urge to research container ships and maritime trade?
-
Got this recommended after someone decided to drift with a ship in a canal
-
Anyone here after the Suez Canal disaster ?
-
I love the way how the captain talks. He does not forget the contribution of his crew for a job well done. Salute Sir.
-
Proud to be part of the OOCL family! 🛳 ⚓ 🌊 - We take it Personally. ⚓

Me: Watching suez Youtube: You will see nothing but big container ships in your recommendations from now on.
-
As a British lorry driver working containers out of the southern ports I found this documentary fascinating. I have learnt something of what these ships do to make my part of the cargo's journey possible.
-
35:14 This part about the Suez-Canal is especially interesting because of the "Ever Given" incident happening right now.
-
Much love and respect to the captains, pilots, chief, chief engineer and all the other members involved in this majestic voyage. This is definitely worth watching.
-
Well articulate video, Choosing the right industry to invest is very critical, Most times, it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $83k per month. Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets. The only thing is to know where to focus.
-
what an incredible conquest. The captain was also humble and of course, proud. That's a great accomplishment, right from the builders, the pilots and crew. Amazing.
-
The journey of the OOCL HONG KONG, the largest containership in the world, is a marvel of engineering and human skill. Watching this documentary, I felt the thrill of witnessing a monumental achievement in transportation. The challenges faced and overcome by the crew and experts are awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing this incredible voyage with us.
-
I love how Maersk, MSC, CMA, OOCL and other shipping companies here being proud of their company
-
Besides being breathtaking, this docu should also be watched because it shows, what amazing things people regularly accomplish so that we all are provided with the things we need for our daily life.
-
Everything about working on this ship would be stressful. The captain and crew made it look easy.
-
I commend the crew of both the ship and documentary. I'm the kind of guy that always looks to how things can become more efficient and I've seen a few. Routes, containers, fuel, ship yard are some I remember. The shipping yard in China, the one that fully remote controlled, was a step in the right direction and marvellous.
-
Could not imagine a world without an engineer.
-
My great respect to the Captain and his team for making the impossible possible.
-
proud with that Malaysian chief officer. We are small country but have very high value and outstanding people.

"An accident in the Suez Canal would be a catastrophy" - Welcome in 2021🤣🤡
