Great video! I'm so overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the multiple engine rooms of this ship! How anyone could have put all of those components together to make a ship run is just mind boggling!! And keeping them running must be a monumental task!
What a beautiful clean engine room. I worked down the engine room too 30 yrs ago, out of Hong Kong and Australia. The technology has certainly changed a bit since then. Nice to see onboard a modern vessel, thanks for sharing that Bigfudge! Regards Tim
Engine crew works from 0600/0800 till 1700 in "normal" operation. Some vessels keep sunday's off. I used to work in Maersk Line. Outside "normal" working hours only duty engineer is likely to be in the engine room for rounds and taking care of equipment alarms. The machinery and alarm system is designed this way of operation.
Its so clean and spacious....I would have expected something that looked more like a dungeon lol. really fascinating video! Thanks for taking the time to make this
Cleanest spaces I've ever seen in all my years of working as an Engineer in the Navy and Merchant Marine. The Wipers and Oilers must be working overtime.
Love the engineer's "booth". :-) The booth on the boat I retired from was only big enough for two people, if one sat on the filing cabinets. :-) Many thanks for the fine video.
To see a room as this is what I like to see!!!My dad was a draftsman for GE working with the steam turbines. I have worked on new techno machines to see all the under the deck workings is cool! Maybe not at first till it is run in and you get to know the sounds and feel of things.To me time would fly by since there is soooo much to over see!!! There must be a large crew to make sure she is running true. Just the electric panels when some thing bad to trouble shot . Thanks for showing this, some day I would like to see her in person! tanks.
If this is where you work, I am very jealous. The EEE's are incredible. Thank you for the effort that you and your crewmates put into tranporting the worlds random crap feom port to port.
The ships are pretty new. At the time this was posted this ship could only have been slightly over 3 years old at the most and 1.5 years at the newest.
dear dave onan, the gear at the propeller shaft is a shaft generator.when I retired as chief engineer with P&O-Nedlloyd, this was standard on the fleet.one can run an alternator also as an electric motor, so I set myself a task to recoup waste energy from the main engine.when you set up a heat balance of a diesel engine, you notice that 30% of the input is wasted to the exhaust gases and the almost the same applies to the cooling water.so Maersk devised a system to recoup this waste by turning it into steam, which drives an alternator to feed the motor on the shaft.this had an enormous positive effect on the fuel consumption, but it made the installation a lot more complicated..
Great video well done. Had no idea there was so much involved lol never have seen an engine room in a ship as I live about as far away from salt water as it is possible to get in NA. Thanks!
This guy should get an award for confused shakycam. What an amazing video this could have been if the camera had been in the hands of a competent photographer.
I'm so glad I switched my skill sets towards construction,trades,automation,and engineering. If I'm not building something I'm fixing it. Welcome to the new world of automated shipping. The military seem to have more crews per ship then their civilian counterparts these days. I see private companies are really going all out on minimizing ship crew requirements for more profit returns.
Wearing some heelys would be awesome down those long halls! (The shoes with the wheel in the heel) ..... it’s so overwhelming the size of that ship. So cool!
Now I realize why goods by sea are so expensive. I would love it if someone could put a dollar value on the equipment featured in this video. Great video. These types of clips are one of the values of the Internet.
When planned maintenance really kicks in ,purifiers totally stripped things get a little more grubby that’s time to bail out. At the moment the machine spaces are amazing and free of old spares didn’t spot the chilled water fountain !!! My tinnitus has returned good luck lads
super cool video! thanks for posting. if you have a chance to make another, would love to have more of the item described. Lots of cool stuff in there! would love to see some of the spare parts too. Thanks so much for making this video!
Damn! That vessel looks like it just rolled off the Dealership showroom! 😁 Are these ships really built by human's on planet earth? I am just awestruck trying to imagine how something of this size and sophistication goes from a drawing room to real production! Amazing!
Most real life industrial places are grimy. Some are quite clean but lubricants, dust, discolorations etc leave a patina. That ship looked like a new truck on the show floor. Utilitarian, capable and pretty damn clean.
Pretty cool you have access to this room. Please do another vid where you move the camera sloooow and/or have a stabilizer on it. Give us a few seconds with no motion to look at each thing. Also maybe some text on the bottom describing the parts and what they do!
Alot of comments about not seeing any crew in the Engine room. The plant is so well automated the number of personnel needed to operate it is minimal. I saw a question about what the steam turbine was used for the replies were useless, what good is a turbine for heating bunker fuel, a use for steam yes, but heating fuel not so much. Are you using the turbine to run another generator that can be paralleled with the Diesel Generators. Just curious it is interesting that you would need both. Unless the boiler produces more steam than needed for hotel services (heating, water heating, galley, scullery, etc).
The steam turbine runs an electric generator, together on the same shaft with an exhaust gas turbine. The steam is produced from main engine exhaust gas boiler (heat energy that would otherwise be lost) and the exhaust gas turbine bleeds off gases from the main engine exhaust manifold. There are two sets of those turbines. The electricity produced is not only enough to sustain ship's load, it can (in some circumstances) supply power to the shaft generator which acts as motor, supplementing power to the propellers.
Exelente video siempre quise conocer una sala de. Máquinas en funcionamiento. Ahora falta saber como se LAS arreglan los TRIPULANTES ingenieros durante una tormenta cuando las naves son embestidas por poderosas olas , que sucede BAJO cubierta
How could anyone or even a group of people possibly understand whats going on in there??? Haha..but obviously they do. Hopefully they're making the big bucks! It does look soo cool with the cleanliness and organisation of the equipment.
What an incredible engine room! You obviously have access to the Triple E - I am interested to know - with the propulsion being so far aft from the accommodate block, do Engineers have their own mess/berths etc. near the engine room? Or do they have a long walk to work for their watch?! Also, out of interest, what is below the main accommodation superstructure on the Triple E? None of the plans I have seen show this. Is the space just ballast tanks and bunkers?
I want to know how much they pay a fully qualified maintenance tech w/ 20 years electrical. Looks like a job that I'd love. Great video man, thanks for sharing.
Yeah this guy owns this ship and takes care of all maintenance throughout the entire vessel. He is The only human on board. Yeah I must admit this is the cleanest, neatest, most good looking engine room in a ship I have ever seen hahaha.
Triple E classes don't need a huge personnel. About 20 people are enough and besides that, the triple E's are really huge so you almost don't meet anyone except in the common room and when you eat. And yeah, they do deserve a beer.
I count 5 engines (inc. the steam engine), but which one powers the propeller??, seems like the steam is it, or is it only a reserve in case main 1 or 2 fail?, or is it electrically driven; powered off any of them?
If, hypothetically, the main engines did not have exhaust gas scrubbers, what would the exhaust note sound like, at the stack? Or would it sound nothing like a 'normal' diesel engine, because it does such low rpms (and cylinder fires)?
there is hardly any sound from the main engine at the funnel, even on engine with no scrubber. There is a low burbling sound from generator engine funnels as they are medium speed (like 700-900 rpm), there is a silencer in each exhaust so pretty quiet.
"Free" steam is produced from the exhaust gas heat recovery system. Steam can be used for a variety of processes, including driving turbines to produce electricity for house load rather than using diesels and the additional fuel they would consume, to produce it instead.

How many men on a ship like that and what's the need for so many electrical panels and water purifying? It almost looks like enough for a passenger liner. Seems like a bit of overkill. Still, being a machine head I love it.
Great video! I'm so overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the multiple engine rooms of this ship! How anyone could have put all of those components together to make a ship run is just mind boggling!! And keeping them running must be a monumental task!

That baby is running as I hope
thats the cleanest engine room I have ever seen
Kevin Pippin it looks brand new n i still cant figure out wht hes the only one around sounds like disaster in the making

Thought the same thing
it's a brand new ship
embrj145 ich bin
Its so clean and spacious....I would have expected something that looked more like a dungeon lol. really fascinating video! Thanks for taking the time to make this
A simple yet incredible insight into a very impressive piece of engineering. Thanks for posting this.
I had no idea what I was looking at, but it was impressive? Two thumbs up for you.
Cleanest spaces I've ever seen in all my years of working as an Engineer in the Navy and Merchant Marine. The Wipers and Oilers must be working overtime.
its so cool that you can hear each cylinder fire.
Unbelievable, looks as clean as a hospital! Very impressive, well done to all responsible. Engineering masterpiece.
Love the engineer's "booth". :-) The booth on the boat I retired from was only big enough for two people, if one sat on the filing cabinets. :-) Many thanks for the fine video.
In 2017 I work on MV MAERSK ESSEN (UNITEAM MARINE).

very nice film, what an impressive engine room, gigantic, must be hard to find your way around when you are new onboard haha
I paused at 5:00 to read the screen and it felt like that scene in Star Trek Generations where the Klingons were watching Geordi through his visor.
Looks brand-new. Kudos to the Chief Engineer for keeping it that way.
If this is where you work, I am very jealous. The EEE's are incredible. Thank you for the effort that you and your crewmates put into tranporting the worlds random crap feom port to port.
Being an oiler it's really amazing to see such a cleaned engine room 👍
It is amazing how clean and open the working spaces are. Somehow I don't see Humphrey Bogart doing the African Queen shoot in here.
The ships are pretty new. At the time this was posted this ship could only have been slightly over 3 years old at the most and 1.5 years at the newest.
it's straight out of a shipyard
There's pride showing in that engine room. Betcha that ship is highly efficient.
I've assembled few (less than 5) of these power cabinets 1:30 with light and buttons. It takes 1-5 weeks to assemble ONE.
thanks for the vid, most people would never see this and I loved every part of it.

I was working on the Maersk Edinburgh recently. 10-high containers. Big boy ship !
This is a very well engineered ship; the engine rooms' general arrangement is very neat and the installations are clean and manageable.
This is what I imagine it looks like inside the Death Star.
Yeah Star Wars go yoda
Great video well done. Had no idea there was so much involved lol never have seen an engine room in a ship as I live about as far away from salt water as it is possible to get in NA. Thanks!
Totally agreed,a very clean engine room. Probably a new vessel 🚢 Thdnks for sharing 👏🏼
Great video. Didn't realize there was so much just to turn a big ass prop.
James Rodrigue There are also engines to turn generators to supply electricity for the whole ship.
And the Weight of over 18.000 containers. Being the biggest container ship in the world.
This guy should get an award for confused shakycam. What an amazing video this could have been if the camera had been in the hands of a competent photographer.

VERY cool Tour !! Thanks for posting ..Thanks for the close ups of control panels
Wearing some heelys would be awesome down those long halls! (The shoes with the wheel in the heel) ..... it’s so overwhelming the size of that ship. So cool!
Lucky to be an engineer in this kind of vessel. Maerskline
Best engine room I have ever seen! I only wish the ship I was on, could have been that nice! thanks for the video
Very impressive tour and a spotless one too. Well done!
A credit to them...I have not seen anywhere so spotless.
Now I realize why goods by sea are so expensive. I would love it if someone could put a dollar value on the equipment featured in this video. Great video. These types of clips are one of the values of the Internet.
WOW-- those spaces are spotless.
Love this vid, that engine room is so clean they must have to take their shoes off before entering!!
When planned maintenance really kicks in ,purifiers totally stripped things get a little more grubby that’s time to bail out. At the moment the machine spaces are amazing and free of old spares didn’t spot the chilled water fountain !!! My tinnitus has returned good luck lads
what a beautiful piece of machinery!! metal art !
this is build very spacious ! most on land factory's dont have this much room and workspace in between units
Grandioses cette mécanique 👍💪 et la propreté des lieux wouah
This is great ship, I was suprised when I saw Turbogenerator and Shaft generator, btw all Korean buildings ships has nice and open E/R
what an Amazing engine this n all its 50CC are a master piece two stroke yes?
0:35 I would have abandoned ship as soon as I heard that alarm.
Buelligan88 and D.C.
Does anyone know what the alarm was for? I couldn't read the lettering on the label on the control panel. :(
I worked 3 years in building such as this conteiner ship in engine room from bottom to the top.
Wow that was good. Thanks very much. I see the point in dave onan's post below. Great tour of terrific grunt.
super cool video! thanks for posting. if you have a chance to make another, would love to have more of the item described. Lots of cool stuff in there! would love to see some of the spare parts too. Thanks so much for making this video!
This ship must be brand new. Or else the engine room wouldn't be so clean. This is the cleanest engine room I've seen in 36 years at sea.
Damn! That vessel looks like it just rolled off the Dealership showroom! 😁 Are these ships really built by human's on planet earth? I am just awestruck trying to imagine how something of this size and sophistication goes from a drawing room to real production! Amazing!
Wheely chairs? Long hallway? Means only one thing
The_Vay23_Gaming doge is dead
Ive seen a lot of ships, but never one that clean and organized. This must a really new ship or sea trials pre-delivery.
It makes you proud to be a human when watching this...
Beautiful Engine Room
Absolutely incredible ! I'm amazed at the size & cleanliness of this engine room, are there no centrifuges ?
Yes there is, watch the video at 3:37..
People who write comments about how clean this room is have seen to many Hollywood movies were everything is dark dirty and rusty
But have to say it it is clean . Most new ships are swank but this is really clean too . Any idea where this was built ?
Or have spent time on older, smaller ships were the tend to be oily, rusty and smokey.
funny how they get this detail the wrong way around.
Most real life industrial places are grimy. Some are quite clean but lubricants, dust, discolorations etc leave a patina. That ship looked like a new truck on the show floor. Utilitarian, capable and pretty damn clean.
Wunderschön, danke für dieses Video
Pretty cool you have access to this room. Please do another vid where you move the camera sloooow and/or have a stabilizer on it. Give us a few seconds with no motion to look at each thing. Also maybe some text on the bottom describing the parts and what they do!
AND IT SHOULD GOOD MANAGEMENT AND CREW THAT'S WHAT MAKES GREAT COMPANIES EVEN BETTER
THANKS FOR A LOOK INSIDE

That is the reason why I like to work in marsek..but till now it is a dream.(coc holder)
Exelente video siempre quise conocer una sala de. Máquinas en funcionamiento. Ahora falta saber como se LAS arreglan los TRIPULANTES ingenieros durante una tormenta cuando las naves son embestidas por poderosas olas , que sucede BAJO cubierta
Fantastica sala macchine e controlli vari!!!!! Wauuu
How could anyone or even a group of people possibly understand whats going on in there??? Haha..but obviously they do. Hopefully they're making the big bucks! It does look soo cool with the cleanliness and organisation of the equipment.
I have wondered about these engines - can you hear a deep rumbling thunder from the individual combustion events?
What an incredible engine room! You obviously have access to the Triple E - I am interested to know - with the propulsion being so far aft from the accommodate block, do Engineers have their own mess/berths etc. near the engine room? Or do they have a long walk to work for their watch?! Also, out of interest, what is below the main accommodation superstructure on the Triple E? None of the plans I have seen show this. Is the space just ballast tanks and bunkers?

Well I'd need a feckin big ladder to board that thing, wouldn't I?
Cleanest engine room I have ever seen
Spotless, I like that a lot.
Evolution is a wonderful thing! Our species have come a long way.
I want to know how much they pay a fully qualified maintenance tech w/ 20 years electrical. Looks like a job that I'd love. Great video man, thanks for sharing.
Look what Amazing things a man can achieve when he's not distracted by 2 legged tuna.
OMG my kitchen would never be this clean, it's like a hospital operating theater.
It's like popping the hood on a 1.0L fiesta with all that room in there.
Thnx for the tour. Also ATEX on that ship?
Nice and clean - good paintjob
This what I do for over time. Just walking around inside the engine room while everybody don’t wanna do extra time of work.
Wow very clean engine room, engine is a wartsila rta?
From the logo on the screens I would say MAN
Filmed from the back of a cat?
Potato camera.
Quality was high, what are you talking about?
They a trained a cat to walk with a camera on its back.
Maersk should be proud of the Crew of this vessel.
Oh they are.
So each one of these engines produces over 6.2 MILLION ft. lbs of torque. Good lord.
That friggin enjine room is bigger than most ships!
most beautiful man engine
Flanker R B&W. MAN engines did not have exhaust valves
I could feel the heat when he opened the door to the purifier room.
Je je je ..yes!!.Man..I hated working into that room,for purifier maintenence
There is a five video documentary on TH-cam about this ship being built in South Korea and the plans to build 20 of them. Watched them all.
Engine room is so clean.
Is this his own personal container ship? Where is everyone? And who the hell is responsible for waxing those floors- they deserve a beer.
Yeah this guy owns this ship and takes care of all maintenance throughout the entire vessel. He is The only human on board. Yeah I must admit this is the cleanest, neatest, most good looking engine room in a ship I have ever seen hahaha.
Triple E classes don't need a huge personnel. About 20 people are enough and besides that, the triple E's are really huge so you almost don't meet anyone except in the common room and when you eat. And yeah, they do deserve a beer.
Ive worked on huge ships and never felt so isolated. working away alone down stairs with engine noise drumming away, lost in my memories.
UMS ship... you won't see anyone.
This is it. Beautiful.
Engine room is twice the size of tanker....wonder how many engine room staff are present..
I count 5 engines (inc. the steam engine), but which one powers the propeller??, seems like the steam is it, or is it only a reserve in case main 1 or 2 fail?, or is it electrically driven; powered off any of them?
It’s very clean engine room.:)
If, hypothetically, the main engines did not have exhaust gas scrubbers, what would the exhaust note sound like, at the stack? Or would it sound nothing like a 'normal' diesel engine, because it does such low rpms (and cylinder fires)?
there is hardly any sound from the main engine at the funnel, even on engine with no scrubber. There is a low burbling sound from generator engine funnels as they are medium speed (like 700-900 rpm), there is a silencer in each exhaust so pretty quiet.
What an engine room ,so clean
actually this is new vessel,..
first time seen clean engine room like a hospital. this is new ship maybe?
Most all I understand, but what is the big steam turbine used for...?
Power generation it seems.
"Free" steam is produced from the exhaust gas heat recovery system. Steam can be used for a variety of processes, including driving turbines to produce electricity for house load rather than using diesels and the additional fuel they would consume, to produce it instead.
Steam would likely also be used to heat the bunker oil so it can be pumped to the engines for use.
Good video thank you de France 🇫🇷👍
This ship is pristinely clean
I think the engine staff there are chief engineer and two assistend ,one repair and two oiler
Just visited the engine room for the Queen Mary. They've come a long way.

so how many toothbrushes are expended every year cleaning all this
