I agree, I was amazed by the experience. It was impressive to see how immaculately clean the HAL engineering crew maintain everything. Videos of some other cruise lines' engine rooms show oil stains, dirty rags, maintenance supplies, etc. littered all over the place.
I’m writing this halfway through the video. There must be a fair amount of redundancy built in. Plus a huge array of spare parts to service all this equipment. Love looking at this operation. My father was a mechanical engineer so as a child I got to see all this mechanical at work. I think I spotted a milling machine in the workshop prior to going into the control room. As a child I would sit and watch my father working on a milling machine making parts for a car he was restoring on the weekends.
I think they have at least 2 of everything. This ship has 4 engines and the engineer told me they only run enough of them to meet the electrical demands, which increases proportional to the ship's speed. It's common to run just one of the electric propulsion units and one stabilizer fin for increased efficiency. The machine shop was really interesting to learn about. I noticed a band saw, drill press, lathe, and the mill which I think was CNC capable. They also have carpenters on board so I'm guessing there was a wood shop somewhere. Much of the maintenance is performed while the ship is underway, even replacing engine parts. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment.
Looks like a huge factory without any workers ! Sounds are just the same as a machine shop sounds. Thx it is amazing. Can you imagine working there all day long and every day ? Respect to the mechanics of the Niew Statendam.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The engineering crew seemed to take a great deal of pride in their work. You can tell how well they maintain the machinery; just look at how clean everything is
Surprised you were able to film any of that. We did a behind the scenes tour on a Royal Caribbean ship recently including engine room and main control room but filming of any type was strictly prohibited. Thanks for sharing.
Well , so long as no one finds out should be ok. Them two hobos aren't really allowed to touch anything in case they screw it up . But i did notice the wiper thing he was allowed to touch ( a manual clear view ) sadly it looked like they were monitoring poop flow . Well you do know pooh is a big problem on cruise ships especially if it gets clogged up . That was what the check looked like to me. poop patrol .
Usually in new model of cruise ship for today specially the big one like Oises class, have four giant deisel engines served as generators, for this class is using pods propulsion ststem using a giant electeic motor inside the pods housing which is complete of ventilation, so commonly seen inside the engine roon for individual engine was the giant switchboard piping accessories for cooling and lubrication systems and a crowded purifier room for l.o. and f.o. akso other impirtant things to run and control the engines, actually no main engines for all was a generator driver but a bigger size than any normal cargo ships in size, its nice to tour arround engine if ventilation is cool but failure of ventilation you cannot stay longer inside on this area if you are vusitors but if you work here nice to stay always in control room.
I'm not a marine engineer so I don't know for sure. From what I understand, they can use a variety of petroleum fractions, from HFO up through Diesel. Fuel pre-heating equipment is shown in the video at 5:01 so I assume high viscosity fuels can be used.

The speech in the recording was overwhelmed by the machinery noise and nearly impossible to understand. I thought about adding a narration during editing, but decided to go with a candid approach in the style of my other cruise ship walkthrough videos. I'll consider publishing another cut of the footage with me talking about the various systems if there is enough interest in the comments.
I wish I’ll be touring the engine of cruise ship because we cruise every other month and next year would be the new ship of royal Caribbean Utopia of the sea
How much Diesel fuel per hour, for this joy ride???????? This is what Stop Oil should be blocking. Not the average Joe that needs his car to go to work......
The only hard hat sign I recall was in the machinists' shop, under the overhead hoist. Nothing was being hoisted so it makes sense that a helmet wasn't necessary.
Maybe it depends on the industry; I'm not a mariner so I just don't know. Watching other engine room tour videos it seems about half of them show hard hats being worn and half don't.
I was disappointed with how shaky the footage was. I forgot to enable the stabilization feature on the GoPro and did my best to correct it during editing. The raw footage is almost one hour, most of which is standing and discussing important areas. It was so loud the speech was not recognizable unfortunately.
@ Speaking for myself, and maybe others, I’m more interested in the main engines; the brand/ manufacturer, how many, number of cylinders, HP, rpms, gear boxes and drive system (pods, direct props, etc.).
These machines are just a marvel of engineering and are stunning to observe below decks ! WOW !

I'm pretty sure they have a complete machine shop in these ships since it's like a necessity for sure. It's fascinating for sure !
@@guzziguy1000 Yes, you can see the machine shop around mid way through the video.

Nice work!
Thank you, I appreciate that
Que complejidad de equipos lleva un barco 😮
El equipo mecánico era muy complejo
Lifelong ambition to go down an engine room like this , they dont seem to do the tours anymore 😢
It never hurts to ask 🙂
@floridamandrone I did ask on the super fast 8 , Stranraer to Dublin but they wouldn't let me , has my favourite engines too , four sulzer ZA40's ☹️
I was very lucky to have a tour
I work as engineer on the ship way back 1977 to 1991 now retired in US
What type of ship did you work on?
@ General cargo, Reefer,car ship,Dangerous chemical tanker,and oil tanker
Interesting, that's quite a variety
Nice video, is this the Rotterdam?
Thanks! It was filmed on Nieuw Statendam
What type Fuel do you use #6 or #2 Fuel Oil?
I'm not a marine engineer so I don't know for sure. From what I understand, they can use a variety of petroleum fractions, from HFO up through Diesel. Fuel pre-heating equipment is shown in the video at 5:01 so I assume high viscosity fuels can be used.
How many engines
4 engines and 2 azimuth thrusters
They need Mr Scott from Star Trek.
Haha, I thought about adding his face on the thumbnail but they would probably come after me for copyright violation
@floridamandrone It would have been great to see his picture.
Are all engine rooms in English?
I don't work in the shipping industry so I don't know.

They might have a tour offered for sale, some cruise lines do.
Can one person really understand all of this stuff? I doubt it.

I saw three signs that said hard hat area yet nobody has one on Lol

@@floridamandrone Doesn't matter if anything is being hoisted or not. Lots of machinery, its mandatory in the places I visit a hardhat is required
