Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The video documents the Star of the Seas navigating under the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark. Staff Captain Sami explains the technical challenges involved in the transit, noting that the bridge clearance is 65 meters while the ship's current air draft is 64.7 meters. To ensure a safe passage with only 30 centimeters of calculated clearance, the crew must utilize retractable funnels and tilt down a lightning rod located above the radar mast. The creator introduces members of the engineering team, including Misha, a staff chief from Croatia, who describes the preparations required for such a maneuver. The crew performs inspections inside the funnels to ensure all mechanisms are in working condition before initiating the lowering process. After the funnels are successfully retracted, the ship proceeds toward the bridge. The creator concludes by describing the successful transit under the bridge and notes that the vessel is five days away from its next destination in Cadiz, Spain.

Today is a really exciting day because we're narrowly crossing the famous Great Belt Bridge in Denmark.
