TOUR of the 1981 Valmet-Schlieren traction elevators (modernized) @ Cruiseferry M/S Stena Saga

Onboard Stena Saga on a cruise Oslo-Frederikshavn-Oslo 6-8. December 2015
BIG THANKS to the crew for letting me film all the service elevators!

In this video you will hear many strange sounds - bangs, creaks and squeaks - as the 36-year old lady collides with waves and rolls in the heavy seas between Norway and Denmark, sending violent jolts and shakes through the entire ship. Yes, the seas were quite heavy and sometimes it was challenging to stand upright and hold the camera still,, thus the shaking and rough camera movements in this video. The old lady really got thrown around!

ALL elevators have been generically modernized, but in a nice way. The innerdoorless elevators got full-height photocells. And generally, these elevators are efficient and reliable and run good - in all sorts of weather! , Only bad things are the dull DMG fixtures and some details such as the voice saying "floor" instead of "deck".
