 The video will be interesting to all people engaged in the international maritime shipping industry. It will shed some light on the marine transportation of cargo using the containers. We all know that the containerships are in a very wide use all around the world, transporting literally all non-bulk goods. The subject cargo is carried inside the so-called TEUs and FEUs, standing for the twenty- and forty-foot equivalent unit, respectively, which is a standard designation for the container.
The container vessels normally feature a good speed and economical fuel consumption, allowing the marine transportation to remain the most effective and preferred option for the owners. The ports where such vessels are services shall have special features such as the specific cargo handling devices etc.
The authors of the video wanted to give some brief introduction about the way such ports work. The logistics of intermodal transportation is also mentioned, together with the work planning in the ports etc. This professionally prepared video is intended to address the day to day operation of the ports with the due attention being equally paid to all aspects, including the finance and social ones.
 This fifth animation of the 3D series is dealing with the oil tankers and covers the essential items and equipment typical for these ships. Traditionally for these animations, the video takes us to the forecastle deck of the vessel, showing the location of the mooring equipment, such as the windlasses and towing arrangements, then the forward mast and the fire monitor intended to fight the fire in that area.
After that, the tour proceeds with the ballast tank manhole doors, cargo tank domes, cargo handling equipment, emergency stop arrangements. The cargo equipment is covered in detail, including the manifolds, valves, and deck seal. On the aft part of the vessel you will see the mooring winches and the free-fall lifeboats commonly installed on the modern oil tankers, aft towing arrangement etc.
The accommodation deck and navigating bridge deck are shown, as well. Among the other shipboard equipment shown there are lifesaving appliances, firefighting equipment and systems, and so many others, giving the trainee more or less full picture of what can be expected in the real life.Note that there are other videos available, covering the container vessels, bulk carriers, gas carriers, and LNG carriers.
 This animation shows the important items and parts of the container vessel. Having started with the mooring equipment of the vessel, such as the mooring lines used to tie and secure the ship to the berth, and rat guards used to prevent the entry of rats and other rodents to the vessel, mooring winches, we move to the items specific to this vessel type, such as the electrical power sockets for the reefer containers.
After that, the authors of the animation decided to demonstrate the twist locks that are commonly used to secure the containers to the deck or hatch covers and interlock them vertically between tiers, as well as the lashing equipment used to secure the containers while stacking. Noe that this particular animation shows the vessel in port, that is why the quay container handling equipment, such as the gantry crane, has also been paid attention and the typical cargo discharge operation has been shown.
The main types of containers have been demonstrated together with the applicable markings and their locations. This is a truly nice resource for studying the basic parts of the container carrier. Note that there are other videos available, covering the LNG carriers, bulk carriers, oil tankers and gas tankers.
 This is a professionally prepared high-quality video animation showing and explaining the vital parts of the bulk carrier. The animation starts with the general view of the vessel and then the navigational bridge, accommodation module and superstructure, followed by the view on the forecastle deck, where the positions of the mooring equipment, including the windlass, bollards, anchor chain and mooring ropes, then bulwarks, and foremast are shown.
After that you will proceed to the anchor and accommodation ladder/gangway, hatch cover in operation, and cargo gear, including the floating block, topping lift, crane itself, and driver’s cabin. Then you will move to the stern, where the location of the engine room exhaust gas trunkings, funnel trunk, and engine room ventilation fans is shown. The aft mooring equipment including the warping drum and winch, is demonstrated, together with the free-fall lifeboat.
In short, we can say that all important parts of the vessel of this type have been covered, so this introductory video can be recommended to the people with no experience but with the interest in construction and equipment of the bulk carriers. Note that there are other videos available, devoted to the container ships, gas tankers, liquid natural gas carriers and, finally, oil tankers.
 Another animation explaining the onboard arrangement, this one dealing with the LNG, or liquid natural gas carriers. The video starts with the quick tour over the forecastle deck of the vessel, showing the location of such important items as the fairleads, rope hatch, cruciform chocks, port and starboard windlasses, deadman rollers, mooring bits.
The cargo domes and MARV, standing for the maximum allowable relief valve, are shown on the deck, followed with the vent masts and fixed DCP, or dry chemical powder extinguishing station, etc. The cargo hose handling crane is shown, as well, together with the cargo manifold, including the vapour line, liquid lines, and bunker manifold. After that the trainees with get to know the location of the deck store room and so-called SOPEP locker on board.
Among the items at the navigation bridge, the ECDIS, VHF radiocommunication equipment, AID, X-Band and S-Band radars, engine telegraph and main engine systems display, NavTex, navigational lights panel and other equipment is demonstrated. The firefighting equipment and systems are duly addressed. Note that there are other videos available, covering the container vessels, gas carriers, bulk carriers, and oil tankers.
 This animation is showing the key elements of the gas carrier. First of all, it will show you the arrangement of the forecastle deck of the ship, followed with the ballast tank hatch covers and vents, cofferdam sounding pipes, cargo manifolds and other deck items including the lifesaving appliances, such as the inflatable liferafts both with and without the HRU, standing for the hydrostatic release units, and the free-fall lifeboat installed in the aft part, and the deck firefighting station.
Talking of the cargo handling equipment, and considering the type of cargo carried on board these vessels, you will see the deck tank of IMO type C, relief valve, cargo hatch with deepwell cargo pumps. The expansion joints installed in the liquid and vapour pipelines have been shown due to their importance…
In general, this is a very good and sufficiently detailed tour on board the typical gas carrier, and it can be recommended to anyone willing to acquaint themselves with the respective arrangements – they should just spend six minutes watching this brilliant animation. Note that there are other videos available, covering the container vessels, bulk carriers, LNG carriers, and oil tankers.
 Wherever people are, they all have to eat, and you as a caterer have a task of feeding them. It is the aim of the present training video to ensure that the food you produce, prepare and serve is not only attractive and appetizing but also safe and clean. In fact, the caterer is handling a time bomb which could explode at any moment.
Some people have low standards of personal hygiene and this may eventually have quite serious negative consequences if such people get involved in preparation of the food at any given stage, or serving it. In short, the main idea of the authors of this video film was to demonstrate the importance of hygiene and all other matter directly affecting the quality of the prepared food from the safety and cleanliness point of view.
We all understand how critical it can be for the crew members consuming the food not meeting the applicable standards. Different sorts of diseases and poisoning is obviously not what you would want to happen on board you ship. Where food is concerned, what might seem innocent enough, can be potentially lethal. Use this video as a supplementary material for the training you have on board. Though it is not dealing directly with ships, the main thesis are same everywhere and shall be paid close attention.
 The Netherlands has been world famous for its brilliant shipbuilding tradition for centuries. In the past, these boats were used to trade goods and discover exotic lands. Today, the industry is all about leisure, demanding a different approach from the shipyards; revolutionary new technology and construction methods herald a new era for superyachts builders allowing them to take these magnificent vessels to higher levels.
These is superyachts. This video produced and presented by the Discovery Channel will be of great interest to the people interested in yachts and superyachts - everyone will find something interesting and relevant to him or her, from the shipbuilding industry professionals to students and from mariners to the people dreaming of becoming the owner of the superyacht, or just a yacht, to start with...
