Super Ships
Super Ships Returns in February
SYNOPSIS
Go aboard the biggest, fastest, toughest, most sophisticated working ships in the world.
EPISODES
Launching A Leviathan: The Hellespont Fairfax
In the Daewood shipyard in South Korea, the world's largest double-hulled oil tanker is being constructed. As hundreds of workers assemble the massive ship over a 12-month period, the story of oil transport, advanced technology and safety issues are highlighted, and 3D animation is used to show the inner workings of the ship.
Freeway on the Seaway: The Cat
Launched in the year 2000, The Cat is a super-fast car ferry which races across the Gulf of Maine between Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and Bar Harbour, Maine at speeds in excess of 90 km/h. On a round-trip passage, the catamaran aluminum hull construction, water-jet propulsion system and car handling system are explained and made exciting through the use of outstanding images and 3D animation.
A Grand Carrier: Ulysses
Crossing the Irish Sea in mid-winter, the world's largest car ferry battles through a gale-force wind and 10-metre seas. 3D examination shows the stabilizing and ballasting systems that permit the huge ship to keep its passengers comfortable during the three-hour crossing, and explains the advanced design that allows a shallow draught vehicle to carry up to 1,300 cars and 2,000 people.
Sailing the Dream: The Royal Clipper
The biggest sailing ship in the world is a five-masted, square-rigged clipper ship transporting 200 excited passengers on a seven-day cruise through the Caribbean Sea. The secrets of the amazing sail handling system, the silent mechanical systems and the luxury of three swimming pools, an atrium and a four-star menu are carefully examined with the help of 3D animation.
Super Servants: The Careful Movers
This amazing ship crosses the oceans of the world, piggybacking racking and pleasure yachts to distant places, on behalf of owners and operators who lack the time or skills to do their own long-distance cruising. From Port Everglades, Florida, the Super Servant loads and sails to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 3D animation and on-the-spot filming reveals how this amazig ship can sink and refloat itself.
Eirik Raude: Oil Patch Explorer
The world's largest self-propelled, semi-submersible, all-weather oil drilling rig leaves Halifax Harbour on its first voyage to test its seaworthiness and oil drilling systems in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, 300 kilometres from shore. 3D animation illustrates the work it can perform on the bottom of the sea, several kilometres below the drill tower.
Shanghai Express: Ocean Highway Hauler /bold>
On a voyage from Rotterdam to Hamburg, the world's biggest container ship is examined in detail - especially for its remarkable cargo-handling methods, a veritable ballet of boxes. The business end of operating a container port is also dealt with, and 3D animation illustrates the advanced technology behind the rapid transport of such enormous cargoes.
Kilo Moana
Kilo Moana is a research vessel, which employs a fantastic hull technology to keep itself stable in a stormy sea off Hawaii. Using 3D animation, the amazing science behind the SWATH hull structure - and the Canadian inventor who died penniless as a result - is explained. SWATH is sort of like two submarines strapped to a big catamaran platform. Meanwhile, scientists grapple with experiments that will help our understanding of the effect of deep ocean currents on marine life and global warming.
Mighty Servant
Trucking a huge section of an offshore drilling platform from Korea to the Gulf of Mexico is the hugely difficult task of the Mighty Servant. Loading the massive unit calls for a smooth sea and a steady hand, something the captain won't compromise on - he's seen ships like this flip over and sink in seconds. 3D animation explains the amazing technology that makes such a heavy lift and transport possible.
Atlantic Guardian
When an undersea cable breaks, millions of communication pathways are shut down and the worlds of commerce, entertainment and human discourse cease to function. The cable ship Atlantic Guardian is on 24-hour stand-by in Baltimore, Maryland for just such an emergency. It demonstrates how quickly it can put to sea and how it searches for and repairs the cable. 3D animation takes the viewer to the bottom of the sea to watch a shark rip at the cable.
Vasco de Gama
Need an airport created in the ocean, or a harbour dredged to a greater depth? The world's largest dredger can suck up sand and transport it to a new location in one ultra-smooth, ultra-powerful operation. In Singapore, this amazing ocean-going apparatus is shown as it goes through its paces, and 3D animation explains the parts and processes that are normally hidden from view.
Top Ten
Which are the biggest, smartest, strangest and most powerful super ships on the ocean today. This program counts down the 10 most amazing super ships. These are the most unique and toughest vessels human beings can construct, from super-sized ferries and mighty tankers, to the most radical ship design in 6,000 years. You will see the most incredible vessels that sail and work on the seven seas.
American Queen
The biggest sternwheeler ever built plies its trade on the Mississippi River, complete with old-fashioned calliope tunes and riverboat gamblers. Its steam-powered engine gets a close-up look, as does the navigation and operating systems. 3D animation is used to give us a cross-sectional look at the many decks and the shallow draught construction.
