ENGINE ROOM TOUR
The engine room of an oil tanker is a critical and complex area where the ship's propulsion and various mechanical systems are housed. It plays a vital role in ensuring the vessel's safe operation and the efficient transport of oil and other cargo. Here's an overview of what the engine room on an oil tanker typically entails:
1. Propulsion System:
The main engines, often diesel engines, provide the necessary power to drive the ship's propellers and generate the thrust required to move the tanker through the water. These engines are generally powerful and designed to withstand the rigors of long voyages.
2. Fuel System:
Oil tankers carry a significant amount of fuel to power their engines. The engine room houses fuel storage tanks, fuel treatment systems, and fuel supply lines to ensure a continuous and reliable source of fuel for the engines.
3. Auxiliary Systems:
The engine room is responsible for various auxiliary systems that support the ship's operation. These can include systems for power generation, lighting, air conditioning, ventilation, and freshwater supply.
4. Ballast System:
Oil tankers require careful management of ballast water to maintain stability and ensure proper loading and unloading. The ballast system, which controls the influx and discharge of water into the ship's ballast tanks, is typically managed from the engine room.
5. Automation and Control:
Modern engine rooms are highly automated and controlled from a centralized control room within the engine room or from the ship's bridge. This allows for efficient monitoring and adjustment of various systems, optimizing performance and safety.
6. Safety Measures:
Safety is paramount in the engine room due to the presence of potentially hazardous equipment, fuels, and machinery. Fire suppression systems, ventilation systems, and emergency shutdown procedures are in place to protect crew members and the ship.
7. Crew Accommodations:
In addition to machinery and equipment, the engine room may also house accommodations for the engineering crew who operate and maintain the systems. These accommodations include sleeping quarters, rest areas, and facilities for the crew's well-being.
8. Maintenance and Repairs:
Regular maintenance and repairs are conducted in the engine room to ensure that all systems function optimally. This includes routine inspections, servicing of equipment, and addressing any issues that may arise during the course of the voyage.
Overall, the engine room of an oil tanker is a complex and tightly controlled environment where skilled engineering personnel work to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the vessel throughout its journeys.

Thank u sir, for nice educational video

good presentation almost 2 y of since downloaded only these day i 've seen it.
So at 16:20 the correct answer is 88 000 BPH?
I've acted as a line handler while in the Navy. Usually just mooring another Frigate. I knew to hit the deck if a saw a tought line. These were nylon lines about 2 inches thick and could weigh hundreds of pounds. When stretched it was like a giant sling shot and could cut through metal.
Nice video... Thanks a lot Sir...
This video explains everything about the BWTS in a very simple and summarized way!! Loved it!!✨🌟
Very good ! Please do keep creating content!
My statistics: during 9 years boarding at least 1 small/medium bulk vessel per week I experienced 2 broken pilot ladders. Scary but always one rope left luckily.
This video told me nothing
My dad was a harbour pilot on a few continents. I had opportunities to ride with him on pilot boats out past the breakwater at a couple of these. He always got them to crack open a beer for me while he did the work. Huge respect for a hard job he did very well, following about 20 years as a merchant skipper in the 1940s - 60s.
sorry but where is written that must be done monthly? i need exact rule reference
Very helpful
❤thanks
What is the measurement unit of the duty point?
Thank you for posting this very educational video. Well done, Sir!
I have seen videos, the whiplash zones drawn here on your safety guide are disingenuously small.
How do i enroll into mooring school
The Pilot Vessel AB. should not be walking down the inboard side between the boat and the receiving vessel, even though there is plenty of room between them both. do it correctly every time, then you don't make mistakes. Also the pilot maker should not have used a pilot ladder with crimps as an example it is like saying it is OK do make a ladder using crimps; It is not OK. Also the ropes should be stretched before making a pilot ladder.
well explained very good video 👏👏
Thanks a lot for your informative and educational video.
That’s scary
Thanks sir, make us now more about it
someone explain me is this is a mistake on the video, at 9:50 it says to use the pump discharge valve to restrict the flow , but since the pump works in RPM, the flow would be the same , by close/opening the valve only the speed of the liquid would change and the pressure , but not the volume, for example the water hose in our gardens, if you put your finger on the exit
Centrifugal pumps are not positive displacement pumps. Their liquid delivery can be controlled by throttling discharge (side) valve. Throttling the discharge valve on a centrifugal pump is a common method to restrict flow, but it's important to understand how it works and its potential consequences. How it works: Valve Restriction: When you partially close the discharge valve, you create a restriction in the pipeline. This restriction increases the resistance to flow. System Curve Shift: The increased resistance alters the pump curve, which represents the relationship between flow rate and head (pressure) required by the system. The pump curve shifts upwards and to the left. Intersection with Pump Curve: The new system curve intersects the pump curve (which represents the pump's performance characteristics) at a lower flow rate. This means that the pump delivers less fluid when the discharge valve is throttled. More info at www.pumpsandsystems.com/how-do-throttling-valves-affect-system-curve

Please explain how do u change a hydraulic line if leaking and if a cargo valve fails from operating ,,?
You need to keep good spares of stainless steel union couplings also known as ermato couplings and a good enough stock of stainless steel tube fittings. Once cargo tanks are gas freed during ballast voyage , make an entry in cargo oil tank and repair the damaged / corroded pipe fitings .Make sure u keep monitoring the hydraulic oil level of hyd tank whilst trying out the valves after repair.
