Oasis of the Seas: A Different Perspective
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a technical overview of the bridge wing console on the Oasis of the Seas. From this elevated vantage point, the perspective of the surrounding water differs significantly from that experienced on smaller vessels. The video focuses on the specific controls used for maneuvering the massive ship, specifically highlighting the dynamic positioning system and the B thruster control. The speaker explains that a single handle manages 29,000 horsepower across four thrusters. A key distinction is made between conventional ships, which utilize a motor, shaft, propeller, and rudder, and this vessel, which utilizes pod technology. These pods are units hanging under the stern that combine all necessary components into one. The creator concludes by explaining how the crew can control each pod individually. By adjusting the direction and throttle of each pod separately, the crew can steer the ship with high levels of accuracy and move the vessel in any desired direction.

this is the uh the bridge Wing uh console which contains all the controls that you also find in the center console but slightly different layout
we have a single control for the dynamic positioning system we have B Thruster control here that one handle controls 29,000 horsepowers the four thrusters in B
to steer the ship we actually turn the Pod for maneuvering we will take control individually of each pod and we can turn each part in whatever direction we want to
