In the Meyer Shipyard in Lower Saxony, the world's first natural gas cruise liner is under construction: the AIDAnova. There is room for up to 6,600 passengers, a television broadcast studio and a theater on the 337 meter long ship.

Needless to say, production of the giant ocean liner is a technical and logistical challenge, and comprised of approximately 15 million individual parts.

  • Iam a seaman for 14 yrs never saw this type of ship using LNG fuel amazing technology
  • @JoeRocket-sf6qs
    How these things don’t tear apart at the seams is astounding.
  • @rlk3490
    This is not an ocean liner, but still very interesting!
  • @nallo69
    Pure German workers at it’s best. Amazing.
  • @aquarius8k56
    its companies like these that may some day build space stations section by section and lifted into space with all the creature comforts.

    3:21 "Ships are still built the say way as steam engines in the past, or the Eiffel tower." Sorry, but they were riveted together, not welded like modern ships.
  • WOW.... how they do this is amazing !.. I've been working on my shop lights for years and still have not finished:hand-orange-covering-eyes:and I have only a dozen of those.
  • @LordDustinDeWynd
    Liberty ships during WW2 were built piecemeal like this. First ships took 230 days, last ships in 42 days.
  • Awesome vid - a fantastic work achievement in such a short timespan - would love to have been part of this massive endeavour!
  • @motorv8N
    Amazing process. I had no idea the separate sections could actually float prior to final assembly.
  • @FOH3663
    I always wondered what Boris Becker did in his tennis retirement ... nice.

    In the end some guy is sandals is going to cut it apart with a torch😂

    Nothing was said about electric power generation. The azipods & bow-thrusters certainly have minutely controllable electric motors, so I'm guessing that the "main engines" are actually enormous AC generators which supply everything on-board. 64,000 kw (approx 85,120 hp) is a boat-load of electron-motion.
