That is a great video. Thanks for sharing.

 

Did anyone notice that sometimes it is difficult to see the "Seas" in her name that is in front of the glass somewhere on deck 14? It looks to be from the lightning inside behind the name.

She is out in the north seas, doing some calibrations, waiting to dock in the morning at Eemshaven

Looking at Marine Traffic she appears to be doing lots turns and going up and down within a certain area as part of the sea trials and test I suppose.

This is the heeling test. They test out how far the ship can tilt to the sides.

OK that makes sense as some of the turns appear to be sharp turns. Thanks for explaining this.

Such tests are the reason why they bring the dishes onboard in Bremerhaven when the sea trials are done ;)

I can see it now. 10 Degrees OK, 15 Degrees OK, 20 Degrees Not OK sound the general alarm.:(

When did they take the bow platform and the aft pushing blocks off ?

[Tall-Cruiser]

 

Another great video. Thanks.

These ships are supposed to be able to tilt 45 degrees and recover.

Hopefully without me on board.

 

When they were performing these tests on the Oasis it was reported that they had difficulty making the ship heel over for the necessary tests. Oasis and Allure,due to their extra width are very stable.

It would be very interesting to see a video of the sea trials.

I'm not sure. I guess that was done before the ship turned around.

[Lloyd555]

Meyer Werft put out their conveyance video,

ahh ok ! Thank you

 

So I just watched the video that MeyerWerft put out and it appears that they must have taken the bow block off when they were waiting to go through the last lock...
