      I used to work overlooking a bulk goods port. Once they had an Oliver Hazard Perry class visit. Was quite different. The bulk carriers would slowly trail black smoke on start up, hours before leaving. The frigate belched white smoke and left within half an hour.

      I actually love that it’s just a big ol’ turbo diesel out of a Scania truck sitting there as a generator, but compared to the diesels running the propellors it’s tiny, even though it’s probably upwards of a 7 or 8 litre engine

      +DraGma. Ships in the UK have similar standards on most of their ships. I was once called to a chartered Greek car ferry and simply could not believe what I was seeing. At first, I thought that the floor was flooded, but I soon discovered that I was walking around in half an inch of oil, fuel and rust.

    • @wysoft
      @wysoft 7 ปีที่แล้ว +99

      I do tech service work on various marine vessels. Out of all the years I've been doing it, the only ones who ever tried to stiff us on payment was a Greek owned and operated vessel. The vessel operators agreed to pay in Master's cash based on an estimate. I completed the job, submitted the report to the Captain for acceptance and payment, Captain claims that he cannot pay in Master's cash for the job completed, which came in under estimate. We are talking a couple thousand dollars here. It came to threatening to go to the bridge and undo the work that I had done, and that the Coast Guard would be contacted and notified that the vessel was not able to operate in US waters. Suddenly the Captain disappears into his state room and returns with cash in hand to the exact amount specified.

    These types of videos always amaze me that such feats of engineering excellence have been achieved by people of flesh and blood, just like us, with no divine intervention. There are two different worlds, one holds the people always complaining and all the movie stars and the football hotshots, and the other holds people who work relentlessly and silently everyday so that the former gets a roof to live under with safety and security and opulence.

    I KNOW I'M A FEW YEARS LATE HERE but I just discovered this channel today. For anyone interested the engine rooms of old, like the 40's & 50's were nothing like this and the word "safety" was no where to be found. Hell, you almost couldn't breathe down there. They were an accident waiting to happen and quite often it did happen. We've come a long way in a short period of time. By the 60's things were quickly changing and so was the technology. Thank God for change!

    • @donthitmeimwoozy
      @donthitmeimwoozy 5 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Thats how much horsepower the generator can output peak, its not on limiter, but those extraction/feeder fans must be pulling and considerable amount of amps to make it ramp up like that.

    • @watferfoot1467

      Direct started electric motors can drain up to 8 times nominal amps peak. Moreover there is a lag in the (mechanical ?) generator engine regulation when peak occurs.

      One skipper said the cleanliness of the engine room is important because leaks are noticed immediately. Looking at the exterior of a tug I never imagined that these machine beasts live inside of them. That's some awesome, raw power.

      ShippingHarbors haha I completely agree with you - It's just that whenever I'm repairing something like a desk fan, just to feel what it's like, I always press my finger on the prop itself or the shaft out of pure curiosity. Of course it's massively more dangerous here and I would never do it had I the chance, but it just brings up memories of me and the fans ;)

      Cummins, Scania, Caterpillar, MAN all make medium speed marine propulsion systems.
      Cummins isn’t the only red one and even in the US isn’t always the common one.
      Cummins has the OTR truck market in the US. Everyone else has the marine market for tugs and commercial stuff.
