- I made a walkaround of the engineroom of a very large oil tanker. This ship has about 300 000 DWT, and at fully loaded its draft is too deep for the Suez channel. They have massive powerful steam cargo pumps, so they need large boilers to power them. Also managed to have a look through the engine control room for you hard core ship nerds.
Who can not love this ?
Clean, well arraigned and marked. I did my time in the engine rooms on DD's & FF's. 1275 PSI ,Super Heated Steam. Twin Pinion Double Reduction Gears. Man the scream of the Westinghouse Main Turbines was awesome. I have always loved machines and equipment . This vid is excellent, thank you for sharing. Working and operating the main spaces with a good team was rewarding . I could spend days exploring this engine room and learning.
Nice to see clean and tidy engine room like this one, seems ready for welcoming PSC inspector...
The fireroom of my WWII vintage Navy destroyer never looked this "pretty", 50 years later and occasionally I still have dreams I'm a 19 year old kid back aboard her with shipmates I know for a fact are long dead. It's funny how sea life is indelible, now way too old to go back on the water, dreams are all I have left, thanks for sharing your space.☺
Thank you for watching my video Hank. Also for shearing a very interesting aspect from your experience out there in the real world. Tell me if there is something specific I should include in a video in the future from life at sea.
That was so well said . when you been there long enough it is your life and is who you are .
I have dreams too at night, back in the forward enginerom of USS Renshaw DD 499 with my old 3 war CPO B.A. Gensler during the Vietnam War. Exhausting.
did over 9 years as Engineer Officer on these type of VLCC's, damned hard work, max 36 hours in ports in the middle of nowhere, no time off, 9 month trips, that was the good old days, thankful that's over, totally soul destroying ships, but generally had great crew mates which made it all bearable.
i am going to maritime university in korea. i will embark vessel and i want to embark vlcc as a/o and 3/o
I respect you because in korea, many sailor don't like embark tanker.
What requirements you need as entry level & what’s the pay
@@richsky615marine engineering university, salary from 4th engineer to chief engineer about from 3500 to 15000 usd per month
1st thing you look @ on any ship is the how clean the engine room is......that will tell you everything you need to know about the crew captain and company your dealing with....Immaculate tells me exactly what I need....congratulations to the ships company.....
Clean and functional. What a playground for an engineer
Impressive! What on earth is that gigantic ship? It will soon be like the control room of a nuclear power plant. I've never seen anything like it. Just how many floors it has. Then the cameraman goes down one flight of stairs and still isn't down! I would really like to know how big this ship is. I myself work in industry and produce large gears. Mostly for gears of wind generators. But we have also manufactured gears for marine gearboxes. That's something gigantic!
Hi. The ship is a big oil tanker. It is 322 meters long and 60 meters wide. It is one of the big ones. But check out my other video of a engineroom with the worlds biggest ship engine: th-cam.com/video/rm9SjAJ_ki8/w-d-xo.html
That ship is 400 meters long...
By the way. I am the cameraman ;-) I made the video.
Im writing this laying in the rack of 4hold port upper tween deck on the 1967 Freighter T.S. Kennedy. WISHING we had an engine room this neat and beautiful.
Very nice light placement in engine room and love the smoke detectors signs on the floor and many many details!
@Andrews Struth Yes it is lot of functions to do!
Just absolutely incredible engineering. It's probably spending the propeller at 25 RPM. These things are so complex but yet so simple. You have to be the best at what you do to be out at Sea and keep these things running they need constant maintenance. A car puts on an average of about 10,000 mi a year these things do that in a month
0:46 I like how they painted yellow smiley faces on the manhole covers :-)
This is a brand new VLCC!
I assume you're discharging the vessel since all generators are running and you can hear the COPT running, i also guess the loud noise is the steam dumping valve being opet and dumping steam into the COPT condenser?
Nice video, like it very much!
No this is the vessel full away.
Very beautiful and clean engine room areas keep it so far.
That engine room is an amazing achievement
What strikes me about this video is how LOUD the machinery noise seems to be. Do ship engineers tend to suffer higher rates of hearing loss than people from other occupations?
And on this video the main engine is not even running. The ship was in a terminal loading cargo when I made the video. On some of my other videos you can hear the screaming sound of the turbines, while the main engine is running full speed. And yes, many engineers have bad hearing because of noise. They are very consistent in using airplugs and such, but sometimes high noise appear without notice.
Twisting and turning levels. Need a route map and indicators for quick location without getting lost somewhere in this maze.😀
Would have loved to see how this giant looked on the outside... massive machine!
Bringing that thing safely from point A to B is one hell of a responsibility
you mean origin to destination? at origin pilot comes to maneuver to undock with giant tugboats assisting and escorting up to where it can safely move on its own before the pilot disembarks. at destination there's a point in the sea described in latitude and longitude where pilot boards through pilot ladder or helicopter to maneuver the ship, giant tugboats assisting and escorting until this giant is safely moored to bollards. all the captain does is supervise his navigators from chief mate down to 3rd mate -- but the captain takes all the responsibilty whatever happens.
So nice and clean engine room. And. so high quality of ship building!
Agree
Imagine what CERN looks like.
Seriously way more high tech than this.
Very nice video, one massive engine and boiler room. I would like to see the power plant for this huge vessel, must have enough power to light up 3 states. The control room is like something out of the Enterprise's Bridge with the computer screens, and more streamlined.
Hi Theo. The powerplant (generators) are in the video. This ship does not need so much energy, so the three generators you see in the video is all there is. On a cruise ship, there are massive powerplants. I hope to make a video from the engineroom of a cruiseship in not too long also.
So clean! Is that a maiden voyage? Bet it still has that new ship smell. The control room is exceptionally noisy tough.
I really enjoy seeing the footage you folks show of your beautiful ships. As a career sailor, I think it would have been an honor to work with folks like you in my younger days .... the material condition of your ship is amazing. Thanks for sharing this vid!! :)
Hi Calvin. Thank you for liking my video. I am working on a new video now, and it will be published any day. That one will impress you. Stay tuned for more vids!!
I like this boat!
Best not to forget a spanner on deck. :) 2:39, 24,500kW at 66.1RPM, 3.7m stroke... those are some specs!
lot of power for quite a small cylinder diameter... only 800 mm (31.4")
04:18 love this colour of Himsen engine!
Very nice engine room....and brand new ship....
Probably hyndai build it the best docks ever!!!!
Hi Adventure Story. Thank you for watching my video. You are right, the ship was built by HYUNDAI SAMHO HEAVY INDUSTRIES CO., LTD. In 2019. They build some massive big ships there. I have visited these yards several times.
Congratulations to Chief Engineer!!!!
Congratulations to the crew who are the ones that keep the engine room and all other areas of the vessel clean, not the Chief Eng.
@@johntaggart1176 but everything depend on the Chief!
Is this a new ship? So clean. Are older ships maintained this way
Hi. This ship was two years old when I made the video. I also have a video of the worlds cleanest engineroom. That ship was over ten years old... So yes some crew really keep their engineroom in battleshipshape.
HI Andre Steinum what camara did you use for this video nice hq and sound love video
Super video...👍from india🇳🇪
Look at those cylinder dimensions: 800mm bore by 3.7 metre stroke, max output 24500 kw @ 66 rpm. That's a lotta torque there. Hyundai MAN/B&W, so presumably a Korean built ship
Excelente video. Ya 😎
Such a bright and spotless ship!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Many thnx for this posting - - - common people, even our shipping ministers since 1947 has any idea what a tough job the seafarers do to carryout carrying Tons & Tons of cargo across the world and people enjoy the Benifit - - - - also those who design these giant vessels - - - - we should circulate among our freinds and relatives for them to have an idea what exactly shipping is - - - - also if a video is available when maintenance is carried out on the Main Engine and generator.
Thank you Sujit for the kind comment on my video. You have kind of hit spot on what I try to do with my channel. I want to show the people that is not "out there" where their loved ones spend their everyday work life. Most people have not the slightest idea what kind of hard working life this is. I will certainly try to make a video of a major service on one of these giants when I am out there in the future.
Nunca vi uma praça de máquinas tão limpa e organizada!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Manutenção recente com certeza. Esperemos para ver tudo isso daqui um mês.
@@ccbueno1 , eu sou " vapozeiro".....
4 décadas empurrando água....praca de máquinas neste vídeo, não é qualquer manutenção mensal que vai deixar a praça de máquinas neste condição......repare, zero vazamento, zero sujeira....ate marca de bota vc não vê.....enfim, nós, marítimos brasileiros somos um monte de bosta.
@@02081953able Não estou falando de manutenção rotineira mas de manutenção geeral quando se para a máquina troca as peças e se pinta tudo novamente. É praticamente impóssivel manter uma praça de máquinas sem nenhuma gota de óleo no cháo,nas válvulas e sinais em volantes que foram atuadas.
@@ccbueno1 , desculpe, brother, mas nós, marítimos brasileiros temos a ideia errônea de apenas " conduzir " ....estive em uma casa de bombas de um navio de bandeira panamenha...o fundo da cada de bombardear pintado de branco!!!!! Vc não precisa ser expert em manutenção para constatar que navio mercante brasileiro foi e é muito negligenciado.....se vc notar um convés de navio não brasileiro, vc não vê um ponto de ferrugem....quandobeu estava na Fronape, estive embarcado com um certo Comandante, muito " conceituado"....faziamos o trade Brasil/Japão/ Golfo Persico/Brasil....90 dias em média....pois bem, o safado, mandava abrir galão de tinta, despejar no convés e passar o rolo....sem qualquer tratamento para a ferrugem.....os principais da Fronape , burros para Caralho, viam aquela merda, e " elogiavam" o safado....com o tempo, o convés ficou igual a vc pisar em um tapete felpudo !!! Vistoso por fora, cheio de podre por baixo!!!
Good salient future for turbocharger with using the supercharging for main engine.....
Great video. But what are we looking at? Provide info on what we're seeing.
Hi Vaughan. Thank you for checking out my videos. Yes I will improve the quality in my future videos. Because of travel restrictions, I have not been able to make alot of new material the last year. New videos will come in near future. I work on all kinds of ships, and sometimes really special ones.
@@andresteinum Yea, the engine room scenes are great, but not being a marine engineer, I was lost...keep up the good work, a lot of us video seamen, enjoy you and Chief Makoi...both of you do great work...take care and stay safe
It's an an engine room, cleaner than many houses would ever be
Complimenti to the owner,superintend, and crew for good maintenances and clean of whole engine room
very beautifully maintained engine room
Every single step is very important in onboard.... No compromise with anything. I like the crew member and their team work .
It's called professionalism.
Beautifly clean enginering and machinery compartments, of course there huge and most likey built by Hyundai Shipbuilding?
Exelente reportaje. Falto una Narracion. Tecnica. Para que nos. Enseñé los nombres y la UTILIDAD de cada uno de los....magníficos elementos tecnicos que se muestran en vídeo GRACIAS por subir ESTE magnifico video
Work before repairs oil tanker s ships jurong shipyard as hull fitter.dangers job .gas oil mistake s explosion safety first . manage work 3 year's.😁
Ever Big
I love and respect Ship crew particularly officers to survive so at large ship with plenty huge machinries. what will be the one main engine cap in bhp. what is the boiler cap, and cargo pump.cap, normally what are cago discharge rate. 36 hrs at one port is very very very short stay. How people stay fo 9 months. what are the strenth of officers & crew
On a VLCC I would have expected more than 7 cylinders...no???
Looks like video done by someone who not engineer, no subtitles of equipment, just quick tour of engine room,..... maybe too hot for the poster????
torque at 66rpm to produce 32,830HP = 2,612,472 ft/lb!
Looks like a brandnew vessel
Main engine recorded 2018, it brand new 👍🏼😃
covering all hoses tubes and fittings strategically is this fixed shallow platform or floating platform. looks like a multi stage bleed and mix platform maybe
I only dream can be crweing on the vessel which the vesse very big
inspection door number 6 had a god awful oil smudge or a dust particle right on it and door number 1 had some terrible paint lifting or caulking lifting, i don't know. Starts at 1:22 and it goes on until 2:41.... Just atrocious
It’d be much nicer if there was some sort of narration. What am I looking at? What does this thing do? What work do you do? What is it like living and working on a ship?
I love this
Now those are massive engines...imagine the size alone of her connecting rods....to think they used to be exposed on the outside and having to constantly oil them.
Turn camera slowly, bucause impossiple to watch.
800 mm for the cylinder bore. My kitchen table fits in that.
Просто удивительно, как такая страна как Корея стала мировым лидером в судостроении. Я работал на балкерах построных в Корее. На многих судах я работал, на японцах, на немцах на финах, на поляках, на русских, на румынах. Но лучше как строят корейцев никто не строит, даже Те-же японцы. Маленький народ с огромным потенциалом.
Noisy in the ecr? Why paint the ladder hand rails, you can’t slide down them then

Bingo
7 cylinders seems an unusual configuration for an engine? Most high speed diesels are an even number of cylinders, 6, 8, 12, 16 etc. Is there a reason for this? Or is this a “modular” engine where any number of cylinders can be specified for an application? I was training to be a marine engineer for Texaco in London in 1967, but gave up because the mathematics was too hard for me in steam turbine applications.
This is a 2 stroke, slow speed engine.
This is so cool!😍 I am totally geeking out here! I could look at this all day long and not get tired of it. WOW. That engine is HUGE! I love it!
Sa salle de machine espacieuse et très bien constructeur et bien structure j'aim bien y travailler à l,, intérieur je marin mécanicien rang graisseur
This is not an engine room, this is an engine cathedral.
I love this place
Amazing video. To think of all the work that goes into designing and making this. And i struggle to fix some parts on my bicycle. The mechanics that maintenance these kind of contraptions must have been those types that played around with mechanics since they were 2 years old.
The sad thing is that they probably only make about 30 000$ a year. Should be at least a zero added on to it.

Looks complicated. 🤔
All this complication just to turn a shaft!
Kamerayı yavaşşşşşş sağa sola dondurrrrrrrrrr
Bring a lot of old memories 😀 thanks
just wonder what they do with ships like this when it gets old and too costly to maintain, sell it for demilition for scrap ?
cylinder bore is close to 3 feet in diameter with cylinder displacement being a little over 12 feet...WOW! I wonder what kind of spark plugs this beast uses...
I remember working on a oil tanker its so hard to control the Inert gas when one boiler is running I hope now they have an automatic control not human control on that equipment
I was a service engineer for inert gas systems on oil tankers for 10 years. And yes they are fully automated now. You set the pressure you want to have in the tanks, and the system does everything by itself. If the oxygen level rice too high, it send the gas to atmosphere instead of to the tanks.
Engine room or operating room?So clean 👍
THIS SHIP'S ENGINE ROOM IS SPOTLESS VERY GOOD PERFECT CH ENG,2 ENG, N OTHER PERSONNELS TOO GET THIS CREDIT WELL DONE
how many long this ship ?
300,000 ton floating in the ocean. 🤔
I call bs on this sound being genunine .... it feels like it is made on a computer ...
Nope. As genuine as possible.
@@andresteinum Alright, thanks. It is very relaxing. And i also appreciate the stabilized camera function. Good video.

well, i hope you realized that you clean up your kitchen after watching this.
Nice engine room, but the camera is moving too fast, better go slower, much more to see.
Hi Patrick. Thanks for watching my video. Yes I made this video in a hurry. Also did not plan the video at all before shooting. I hope that next video will be better planned, and the sound quality will be much higher. Any specific stuff on a modern ship you would like to see?
Seems a tad underpowered for its size. We had similar powered engines for much smaller Obo’s.
Wao this ER looks brand new, thanks for a great video! Regards from a former 2nd officer at Wallenius PCTC.
Explain what we’re seeing please
this is 100% NEDA Maritime
Very smart , nice to all room
I like and very happy to u all crew
Godĺess u all
Amen
Must have steam turbine cargo pumps or using I.G plant I can hear the dump station lol
Nice clean Engine Room.
This engine
made in
Korea.
Where does one even start the design of this.
A napkin!
By the principal requirements of the vessel: Power needed to move it at a certain speed. Then the size of a propeller, resulting in the speed of the main engine.
This results in needed fuel flow per hour (6 - 7 tons an hour), in needed cooling water capacity and oil re-cooling capacity. Needs sufficient fresh air. All the pumps and valves and monitoring and controls and lights and aircon need electric power, so install generator engines. One of them can take the whole sea load of power, the other is needed for high requirements at berthing, the thrid one is stand-by by regulations.
Then pack all this into the space you have. Think about platform size, stairs inclination. Access to all components to echange them if needed.
Etc, ..... Yes, hell of a job.
