# Time-Lapsed Ship Assemblies Watch the World's Largest Ocean Vessel Get Built in Only 76 Seconds By Andrew Sztein | Published 2013-03-20 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-vessel References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/a-76-second-time-lapse-of-building-the-worlds-largest-ship/) & [worldslargestship](http://worldslargestship.com/the-ship/) It may have taken the manufacturers at [Maersk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Smart-cold-chain-logistics) three months to construct the world's [largest ocean vessel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maritime-transportation-system), but it'll only take you 76 seconds to watch it being built, thanks to this mesmerizing time-lapse video. With the help of the Discovery Channel, Maersk was able to document the entire construction of the Triple-E, a titanic ocean vessel -- no pun intended. During the course of the three month construction in a Okpo, Korea, harbor, 50,000 pictures were taken of the construction process. Those pictures were then stitched together into an easily digestible 76 second time lapse that makes it look as if the monstrous ship is literally rising out of the waters of the harbor. Maersk claims that the gigantic ocean vessel is more environmentally sound than other shipping options due to its massive size. They claim that the Triple-E can reduce [carbon emissions per shipping container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sailing-cargo-ship) up to 50 percent. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Timelapse Videos:** Opportunity to create timelapse videos in various industries to showcase large scale projects/stories in a condensed and visually appealing format. - **Green Shipping:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the shipping industry to prioritize environment-friendly solutions and options for sustainable development. - **Smart Manufacturing:** Manufacturing industries to invest in smart manufacturing solutions that enhances overall processes, reduces production costs and increase productivity. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** Opportunity for construction industry to document construction process through timelapse videos for transparency and accountability. - **Logistics & Shipping:** Opportunity for new entrants in the logistics and shipping industry to disrupt the traditional shipping and logistics services through an innovative approach to environment-friendly solutions. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing industries can incorporate green and smart manufacturing techniques in its production process to increase production efficiency and minimize environmental waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Twin Ship Builders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holoship.md) - [Large Electric Sustainable Ferries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incat-tasmania.md) - [Billion-Dollar Yacht Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gquest-goliath-series-gigayacht.md) - [Enchanting Old-World Sailing Ships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orient-express-silenseas.md) - [Ammonia-Powered Ships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novel-ship.md) - [Wind-Powered Cargo Ships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windpowered-cargo-ship.md) - [Luxury Eco-Focused Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-yacht-1.md) - [Innovative Maritime Transportation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maritime-transportation-system.md) - [Turtle-Shaped Floating City Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terayacht.md)
