The documentary tracks three ships, called the Invincible (the invincible, the oil rig), the Tanger (Dangier, the super tanker) and the starfish (the starfish, the Super tug), from the manufacturing to the launching process, in the view of shipbuilders, Creating such a monster is like stitching up a huge stereoscopic puzzle, just assembling all the prefabricated components together, why is it so complicated for outsiders to say that it's so simple? The answer is professional, welding with the best welding, with the best crane crane, things can be smoothly promoted, if the welder to do the lifting, crane to do welding, estimated will provoke a pile of trouble out, the layman to do inside the act is very difficult, the expert is easy to do, the film super tanker to pass a narrow bay, The captain invited the local pilot to guide, do not want to hit the rocks, sometimes the simplest way is to find the most experienced people come to help.

Design to do the design, manufacturing, testing, test, this is the result of their respective roles, for the ship itself, each new component has its own problems to solve. The shape of the spade jar is designed to prevent seawater from eroding the seabed, and the double hull is designed to prevent the leaking of the liquid that is being carried by the reef, and the supporting seat is to fix the prefabricated ship segment in the correct position, the ballast tank is designed to control the hull balance, and the cap is designed to avoid the slender turbulence caused by the propeller. High-pressure air gun is to remove the steel surface of the magazine without affecting the paint, the spherical bow is to reduce the resistance of the sea, the waveform bulkhead is to increase the strength of the engine of the new shell is to reduce the possibility of a fire, the shark mouth clamp is to avoid the cable in the deck of the tension prone to harm people's occurrence, The tank is designed to counteract the bumps caused by the big waves, no wonder the overseer said that every year the technology is always improved, there is always something new to learn, it is these improvements that make the ship more and more good, making shipbuilding become more and more mature.

Shipbuilding has become easy and one reason to overlook it is to use a reasonable tool. For the lifting of the ship, there is a general crane, for the larger segment, there are multi-wheeled van, for heavier parts, can use the floating platform (using ballast tank into the water to lift the heavy weight), as for the very high bowl frame, we can also using crawler cranes, for different needs to use different handling tools. For example, welding, for the simpler welding work, can be handed to the welding robot to do, thus reducing the hours, for the inspection of the welding, we can be flexible using X-ray scanning according to different circumstances, ultrasonic testing, even with foam water to see if there are bubbles, if the welding is too narrow, but also to help the scanning robot. For example, for smaller vessels, you can use ramps to slide to the ocean, and for larger vessels, you can move the carts to the floating dock, and then float into the water using the buoyancy of the water.

Finally talk about the importance of time, "time is always our enemy", because the delay means that the fine, it means that the cost of manufacturing and business opportunities are missing, timely to the construction of how important, the ship section of the crane is affected by the weather, it is wise to wait until the smaller wind speed to carry out the operation, In order to avoid re-soldering, it is advisable to wait until the appropriate time for the welding to be done, if the soldering needs to be preheated (keeping the temperature at least 110 degrees) and the static wind (wind speed is less than 2 m/s). Above, the people do their best to make the most use of, respectively, to respond, timely guide, is I think difficult to do easy key lies.
