The Sea Lad - Join maritime industry - More than anything I dreamt of becoming a Marine Engineer like my father. But the Good Lord had other plans for me. And now my time has passed. Thank you for the videos, I enjoy watching them!
It's very sad that there are almost no Turbine Ships preserved in operational Condition. The only ones I know about are the three Victory Class Freighters in the USA. At least more or less operational; the best Bet would be the Red Oak Victory which basically only needs her Seaworthyness certified and then would be ready to go but as far as I know Visitors aren't allowed into the Engine Room, even when she is docked in Richmond CA. The Lane Victory and American Victory both have Boiler Problems with the Lane Victory at least having slow Progress in the Repair but I know nothing about the American Victory and even doubt if it's planned to get her sailing again. Please let me know when you know about any other Turbine Ships that are preserved operational as I'd really like to take a Look at that.
reminds me of the LNG Aquarius which was built in 1977. However, it has now ceased operations due to an incident that occurred in 2021 when the main steam pipe of the boiler ruptured, resulting in the loss of life of one of the crew members on board.
Thank you for given us clear picture what was the things inside the ship engine rooms. ❤. It's kind of bored being here n they could probably thought of getting it more fun n interesting to stay with. A few solar powered equipment to cater the entertainment room electricity sounds undemanding .😊
This is one of eight long tankers that were built in General Dynamics in Quincy Mass . In the eighties. They carried from Indonesia to Japan American flag . Had 5 spherical cargo tanks carrying 5000 cubic meters in each.
I sailed on these ships 2006-2009 while at Pronav. These ships surpass in reliability any modern day ship. Only problems we ever had were those obnoxious ballast valves and IG plant. Which company is owning these ships now?
Ship with clasic diesel pover compare to this ship is small bug. So huge engine room. If you get good practice on steam ship you can sail on every world ship
Hi, could you make video about LNG cargo operation sequence? Like step by step. I really curious about it. I'm currently working on LPG fully refrigerated. Hoping can get a chance to saol on LNG. thanks in advance
Could someone explain about the propulsion system? Is there a steam turbine rotated propeller shaft or electric generator and the electric engine is rotated the propeller shaft?
Modern ships now,eliminated the steam turbine propulsion due to" more spaces requirements"unlike the ICE(internal combustion engine),less space and more effecient than a steam propulsion,I am not lucky to go on board this type of propulsion in my entire life being a sailor of almost 20 years,only two types,the I.C.E. and Electric propulsions.
This vessel is built in 1978 but still looks good!

Since the demise of conventional steam for marine propulsion, videos tours like this, are a rare treat indeed. Thanks for sharing!
Yes that was good opportunity to take a video tour, now that ship is in cold lay up.

@@LifeAtSea what's the name of this ship?
There are still two steam turbine powered Great Lakes freighters which are operational: the SS Alpena and the SS Arthur M Anderson.
Ancient ship, perfect housekeeping.
Beautiful feat of engineering and super clean, especially for the year it was made. Very limited or no CAD back then.
Thanks for the excellent video!
Don't see too many steam driven ships anymore. I am an old Navy Machinist Mate and was good to see a steam plant for a change
Very nice and clean engine room! And a good catch!!

They are sister ships
Sad to hear that incident happen

El Paso!
Nice tour! Thanks!
Thanks for the great insight! Wish u all the best.
Thank you for following us
very clean
I've been working on the ship about 4 years but i feel like first time i am watchong inside the ship😆
Lets communicate each other😍
U might be in the deck department
Hi. Great video. Can I ask what is the yellow piping primarily on the main turbine casing for? Is that lube oil ? Cheers, James.
Thank you for my eye candy!

Nice and clear

That thing's a Cadillac. And you can tell it wasn't run much. Good luck finding spare parts if you do run it.
The ship was made in 1978
Could someone explain about the propulsion system?
Is there a steam turbine rotated propeller shaft or electric generator and the electric engine is rotated the propeller shaft?
The propeller is driven directly by the turbine via a reduction gear.
@@Jodocus1000 Wow that's cool. I was trying to wrap my head around all the machinery I saw in the video. Thanks for the info
@@Jodocus1000is it a fixed pitch or variable pitch propellor? It looks like a KaMeWa controller on the control room desk.

nice
Sir y u r video veery late uploads?
Funny, the LNG Leo that I worked on in Singapore shipyards in 1980 had spherical tanks 5 in number???
Name of ship?
LNG Leo
Can someone point out the main boilers please?
Foster-Wheeler boiler (steam generator) shown at around 5:00.
That looks like it has nuclear marine propulsion.
Because Nuclear Propulsion essentially is a Turbine Ship, just with the Boilers replaced by a Reactor.
