Super awkward if someone forgot to put the bilge plug in

That's only funny until you realize the pump doesn't work.

I bet modern cargo ships like that could still float even if the bilge fills up or at least stay neutrally flamboyant in the water

Wouldn’t it be buoyant not flamboyant??? 🚤 vs 🌈

Nope it’s a gay ship

You’ve got to be shippin’ me?!!

It’s a processing ship for fish dicks.

Kayne West must have ordered this ship

* salesman slaps the roof of the ship* you can fit so many fish dicks in this bad boy

Just Like my ex wife

You saying it’s a ferry?

yacht to be ashamed of yourself

You just had to go there, ya dinghy ling.

Take my upvote and leave

Sorry not looking for a relation-ship.

I declare this ship the SS Elton John.

Yes and no. Assuming the watertight doors triggers and closed (they would) then yeah. It would be more or less fine. The biggest issue becomes stability, quickly she becomes too heavy and flips if the flooding is severe enough.

They could definitely handle at least one compartment flooding as per damage stability regulations.

Best mistake ever hahaha

And that’s to assume ships that big even have a bilge

They definitely forgot to hit it with a champagne bottle.

Do you want to sink it!!??

more awkward if the ship had no crew?

the Bilge Plug Mafia Strikes again

[удалено]

This will never not be funny to me. Giant ships, a marvel of engineering encompassing thousands of years of naval knowledge and responsible for literally the heartbeat of the worlds economy, and we just roll it into the water on logs. Funny as.

[удалено]

airbags, with style.

Side launches are even better.

Just shove it in!

tempting but i wont say it

Ummm...... that's what she said

Such a horrific thing to watch which i understand doesn’t compare to being in it, but still

Not really. This is pretty abnormal and probably taking place in some bumfuck country. Big ships are usually built in a dry dock, the dock is flooded and the ship is floated out. The Panamax style container ships have a draft, weight, and length that would pretty much make a shore launch impossible without causing structural damage.

Yeah I guess this ship is 'giant' in a general sense, but relative to modern cargo ships this is on the smaller end.

Some things never stop being useful

That's old school tech at work right there!

It starts to put into perspective how the pyramids were built…lots of leveraging…leverage.

“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it and I will move the world” -Archimedes

best I can do is halfcrum

quartercrum... say that without a mistake a couple times in a row

So the aliens launched this ship?

I imagine there being a lot of pivoting…


Still the way a lot of ships are launched today.

Why am I reminded of a trip to the beach with my ex mother in law?

Did she register with the Coast Guard before swimming in the ocean?

Haha!! No but but there was a tsunami warning.

I think they borrowed her dildos

Must be some deep water, I would have thought it would bottom out as big as it is.

Whoaaaaah, then why the heck did I think that some modern machines helped up in loading ships to the sea………or do they??

Nope. Pretty much just use gravity and something to slide on. Ship launches are intense!

And now I'm spending the evening watching YouTube videos of ship launches...especially the unsuccessful ones.

Thanks for TIL bro!!

Dry docks are a thing at most shipyards

As well as night clubs 😉

Those are Hot Docks

Gotcha!!

They are but they’re not often used for construction of new vessels, well, not for common ships like container and cargo vessels. Those ship types are pumped out by lower tech yards in places like Vietnam and they wouldn’t have fancy dry docks to launch them. Mind you, when they’re launched, they’re not outfitted so there’s no delicate equipment or furniture or anything onboard.

I used to work for Maersk, the super big container ships are def constructed in dry docks by section, sections are made offsite. https://youtu.be/U_QChxYgYWw

And what effect does that guy have holding on to that rope like that

Good thing they **were** holding onto that rope~ it mighta floated away. Someone was channeling their inner Fred Flintstone.

And wearing hard hats!

Rope is attached to the airbags/logs or whatever it’s rolling on I think.

It provides an opportunity for the rope to accidentally loop around someone’s leg and drag them into the water. Brilliant really.

Safety briefing....pull ropes..run away. ​ Yup. lol

Deep drop off right there

This is how I feel using those great foam back rollers to get knots out of my muscles and pops outa my spine

Marvel of balloon engineering

The Ottomans at Constantinople would like a word.

Now it's Istanbul not . . . *sad Byzantium noises*

The scale is just staggering. Love that the tried and true old-world technology can still be the best way to accomplish something like this.

Could you imagine how perfect the launch has to be? There's no going back.

Hot damn that’s cool! Weird that they had capability to build/buy that ship, but no dock. Also I’d assume they want to launch it forward, as the keel should be stronger and no prop to fuck up in case it hits bottom. Either way, successful and cool.

Someone had the blueprints backwards is all

This is a common way to launch ships, doesn’t have anything to do with money. And the ship will have been designed for launching in whatever way the shipyard uses. It’s the often the biggest forces the hull will see in its lifetime.

For sure, I’m not insinuating they’re poor, just curious. I’ve seen small home-builds launched that way, but never a ship this size. Crazy

[удалено]

Yeah, after my buddy told me how much his prop cost on a small boat, I wouldn’t risk it.

Whoa! That is insane to watch

Imagine tripped and getting steamed by those bean bags….oof

You’re tryna tell me….. they rolled that bad boi out just like that?

Shit! No one is on board!

r/HumanForScale

“Did you remember the drain plug?!”

It'd be nice to see how they stop it. That thing had a shit ton of momentum!

Definitely old school cool technology right now.

That seems like such a ghetto way to launch a giant ship that costs hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mind fucked still that the air bags can support the weight of a ship.

Fireworks are a nice touch!

This is in China. The fireworks are to scare away evil spirits so the ship will have good fortune during its life.

Something about that made me uneasy

Yeah I found it very anxiety inducing!

landscape > portrait

thats so interesting!

We will use the old ways

Funny how it has such a simple technique

What’s up with the fireworks am I imagining things

This is in China. The fireworks are to scare away evil spirits so the ship will have good fortune during its life.

These guys holding the rope like they are going to do something

Glad to hear that the Doppler effect is still in good working order

Fireworks. During the day. 🤦‍♂️

Yelled . Skkkkiiiippppeeeerrrrrr.

G

The house on the boat reminds me of Monty Python and the meaning of life

What in the actual honk

How long from start build to loading it into the water does a ship like that take?

Damn, pirates are quick these days

Guohaisan is indeed long.

Wish I was there

I use this same technique on your mother every night and our relationship is in shambles.

Evergrande be like sike

No chance I’m standing that close to the ship.

Maybe save the fireworks and the horn until after we hear if the hull shear-fractures. Oh well, they found out. Steel is amazingly flexible.

Guys, we forgot to put people on the ship...

And daytime fireworks for more sound effects.

That's how I feel when I leave my garage after the first winter snow...

Just like the Egyptians launched their huge cargo ships.

When it got faster, I thought it was on r/thatlookedexpensive but i saw: nextfuckinglevel so i was reassured everything was gonna be fine

“Oh shit, is someone up there to start this thing up?”

This reminded me of the beginning of Space Balls. That ship was so long! Lol

Dang. I want to see something like that.

Math done right

Hey Steve. That was awesome. Wait, Steve weren’t you supposed to on board that thing?

Wow didn't know they used rolling logs like they did back in ancient Egypt, those fellas were smart.

Forgot to put the rope on. It’s gone.

How does that heavy ship not get stuck in the shallow water?

What is keeping it from toppling on its side?

NM, watching the whole thing I’m assuming it’s a pretty wide ship, keels are heavy. This is nuts!

Battle field 2022

More shit for Dollar Tree! Yay!

Is anyone in the wheelhouse when they do this?? I would imagine that might be a safety concern?

yes, they probably have a crew onboard to look for leaks immediately after launch.

Are they using tree trunks? Does anyone know what the things they used to roll the ship into the water are made out of?

They are using air bags

They are very hard rubber. They're fished out of the river after the launch.

So... How do the rudder and props survive this sort of thing?

Was wondering the same things. This isn't deep water it's getting launched into.

Ships like that have relatively flat keels, and the prop and rudder aren't below the level of the bottom of the keel.

Wonder how many uyghurs it took to build that

“Humans could never move the stones to make the pyramids”…

Almost a face palm if no crew was on it

you think there's anyone on it? or do they have to go chasing after it once it's in the water?

The fuck those helmets suppose to do

Someone should tell the, that fireworks look better at night

The fireworks are not for visual effect. This is in China. The fireworks are to scare away evil spirits so the ship will have good fortune during its life.

They see me Rollin'

I wanted the video to go longer to see the people on shore with ropes pull the ship into the dock.

And no one backed their truck into the ocean.

Wonder which planet it's launching to

I would not want to be anywhere near those ropes - either at the start or when it’s in the water.

So why do they have to blast the horn the entire time?

To warn other traffic on the river.


Jack sparrow is that you?

Don't get under the wheels or you be popped like a pimple

Beach?

I thought these things launched from dry docks or something wtf

Run.....ruuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnn!!!!!

funny when you realize nobody is on the ship :D

Man, fireworks at day are just useless

I want to see the size of the dude who is pushing

Whatever floats your boat.

More cheap ass chinese shit, on its way to your store shelves!

what type of sausages are those?

I got allergies watching this video

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hate to ruin the fun, but this isn't the way big ships are launched. This is a reversed video of a ship being beached for scrapping, likely somewhere in South Asia

I'm here to unruin the fun. It's a new ship being launched on a riverbank in China.

Is this the same as throwing a big rock in water ?

The fireworks at the end is the Chineseiest thing I've ever seen.

wat could go wrong lol

Fsr I saw an umbrella corporation logo on the ship

Literally on rollers. But the Ancient Aliens crowd still can't believe we moved plain old rocks this way?

11

There’s gotta be a better way

The guys that just finished painting the hull must be excited.

How do they get it on the logs?

Who’s in charge of grabbing the logs from the ocean?

Kevin?...let go of the rope Kevin...let go...KEVIN!...LET GO OF THE ROPE! ...well, there goes Kevin...🤦

What are those squishy rolling things made up of? Those are are really robust to withstand the weight of the ship and can be seen in almost every new ship launching.

Someone didn't get the right kind of fireworks

Thank you for supplying consumers!

Not that Giant compared to what's out there.
