Engineering Secrets: How Do You Repair A 32,000 Ton Ferry? | Engineering Giants | Progress

I’ve used that ferry a few times taking my caravan to mainland Europe, driving down from Glasgow.

Much memory, faded over 8 decades, was brought back. I enjoyed the documentary and thank you for it. We forget so much when not 'on tap' every day, I am grateful, thank you

I was dragged to Rotterdam as a child, I remember getting back to the ferry with what I had bought and realized I needed batteries but the cover needed a screw driver....I saw a maintenance guy who was locking a door and he let me in to a service door while he sorted it for me and it ABSOLUTELY BLEW ME AWAY just the sheer amount of steel that was there was insane to see for my tiny eyes and the size of a wrench near by that was tucked into something was massive! He was smiling when I went to grab it off him I was gob smacked it looked insane. I sometimes think back and wish there was some sort of tour these sorts of boats are amazing.

We used to have a ferry going between only Bergen, Norway and Newcastle I believe. Hope it’s coming back

I’ve used that ferry a few times taking my caravan to mainland Europe, driving down from Glasgow. The sailing times suited us perfectly.

Amazing. Thanks for capturing this. :)

47:27 Sadly the bean counters and owners of P&O failed to recognise the value of their crews last Christmas when many were replaced. I, like many other cross channel passengers, have chosen to boycott P&O and now book with other companies even when it is less convenient or I have to change my travel arrangements.

So well presented, clear explanations, having been on ferries some of it's technology I only now understand, great! What a relief from all those so called documentaries where half is about: o dear, what if this goes wrong and you learn virtually nothing. This is so informative. Well done and thank you for that!

You did one heckuva job. It seems it would be stressful trying to do a selfie stick video with strangers looking at you. You end up being the entertainment. I can’t speak for everyone, but I will say that I was entertained.

Loved it well done guys cheers

Sked- u- al. Not… Shed- u- al Dude! Lol must be Aye eye 😂

beautifully restored

I remember very well when the Pride of Bruges and her sister ship came into service - they looked enormous in the dock and it was quite amazing how they'd squeeze through the lock at Hull. Enjoyed many mini-cruises on them....the greatest bargain in travel! Not so sure about P&O nowadays after their disgraceful behaviour sacking crews.

Excellent documentary. Even if I did understand most of what you showed it is still a overwhelming thought to manage such a huge and complex machine in day to day use let alone with the maintenance and what not required for the life of a vessel of that magnitude. My hat is of to both technicians and crew, impressive work indeed.

I was on one of the last journeys from Hull to Zeebrugge and I am so glad that I did. Miss Bruges and York so much. P&O Ferries are not the same nowadays....

Nais!. good video . Thank you.

Brilliant Documentary. That ferry is Massive 😅😅

its as new, nice job

The Dover UK-based P&O Ferries sold the ships Pride of Bruges and Pride of York. Pride of York was handed over to her new owner and operator GNV-Grandi Navi Veloci on April 15. The sistership Pride of Bruges will be transferred within days and renamed "GNV Antares".

Very interesting and well exsplaned to many people that dont realise what goes on of a ships refit in dry dock
