  • Das Trockendock Elbe 17 ist eines der größten Trockendocks Europas. Es liegt auf dem Gelände der Werft Blohm + Voss im Hamburger Hafen gegenüber den Landungsbrücken. Es wird im Wesentlichen für die Reparatur von Schiffen eingesetzt, kann jedoch auch für Neubauten benutzt werden. (de)
  • Elbe 17 is the third largest dry dock in Germany, located in Hamburg (Germany) and administrated by shipbuilding company Blohm + Voss. Completed in 1942 at a length of 351 meters and a width of 59 meters. It was originally intended for the construction of the massive H-class battleships. During World War II, it was used for repair work only and also served as an air shelter (housing up to 6000 people). After the war, the huge floatable metal gate was scrapped and the dock served as a berth. The British occupation forces originally planned to demolish the dock in January 1950, but popular protests and fears that the demolition would damage the nearby tunnel under the Elbe caused the dock to be preserved. On December 12, 1967, construction of a new gate was completed and the first ship to enter the dock was the 190,000 ton tanker . Today, the dock is primarily used for refurbishing and repairing ships, although it can also be used for the construction of new vessels. The dock was notably used to perform maintenance on very large ships such as the container ship Sovereign Maersk (347 m long and 42.8 m wide), the cruise ship Freedom of the Seas (339 m long, 56 m wide), and the Queen Mary 2 (66,000 t, 345 m long, 41 m wide) * The Cunard passenger ship Queen Elizabeth arrives in Hamburg. * The ship turns towards the dry dock at high tide without tug assistance * With the help of harbour pilots, its Azipod propulsion, and stern thrusters, the ship moves into the correct position. * Moving forward very slowly (against the tide), the ship approaches the dry dock. * The Azipod system holds the ship in position against a wind from the north-east. * Now the ship is in the correct position and can enter the flooded dock. * The Queen Elizabeth slowly slides into the dock * The gate of the dry dock is closed, and maintenance work can begin.

  • L'Elbe 17 (en allemand : Trockendock Elbe 17, « forme de radoub Elbe 17 ») est une forme de radoub sur le fleuve Elbe à Hambourg. Avec 351 mètres de longueur sur 59 mètres de largeur, il s'agit de la 3e plus grande structure de ce type en Allemagne. Géré par Blohm + Voss, il a été construit en 1942 pour la construction de cuirassés de classe H prévus par le Plan Z en vue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Pour autant, cette installation ne sera utilisée dans la guerre que dans le cadre de réparations de navires. Après guerre, sa démolition par les forces d'occupation britanniques est annulée pour sauvegarder le vieux tunnel sous l'Elbe proche. La forme de radoub Elbe 17 a servi pour la maintenance du Queen Mary 2, Freedom of the Seas et par exemple. (fr)
