I just happened on this wonderful video of a fine ship. Well done!! Thank you for the pleasure of viewing your hard work to make a ship come back to life!
I sailed her to Russia in 1990 for Greenpeace as chief engineer. I would like to compliment you on the fine job of refurbishing her. She's a good old girl!
The Dutch built oceangoing tug is originally equipped with 2x SMIT-MAN 6 cyl. RB666 type connected by gearbox / clutches to one propellorshaft with max. output (upgraded in 1966) to 4500 HP /275 rpm. Nowadays the max. poweroutput as a self-sailing historical museumship, this outputpower is never used anymore, but the engines are fully original and still running perfect ! Furthermore, there are 3x Caterpillar Gensets (one speciffically for bowthruster) 1x MTU harbor gen. set and one Cummins Emergency Generatorset.
@@JoopTerpstra thank you sir for the information. I have seen MAN engines here both in marine and electrical power plant applications. Speaking of Dutch built we have had two coastal tramps with Industrie and Stork-Werkspoor engines. Both have been scrapped unfortunately! Have you gotten any video with the Danish built B&W engines? And I forgot to ask what made gearbox is fitted in that tug? Thanks in anticipation.... Keep up the great work you are doing 🇬🇾
@@tickedoffsheikh8587 The gearbox made by Reintjes I think (not sure) and unfortunately I have no info/video from other engines. I followed the restauration process of the Elbe completely from almost scrap up to a sailing museum ship: a lot of my video's can be seen on youtube.

@@JoopTerpstra thank you....oh I almost forgot about the Reintjes gearboxes...well here mostly I have come across Twin Disc, Renk and one Reintjes and Lufkin. The powerplants mostly are Caterpillar Detroit Diesel (Two-stroke) in the high speed category while the bigger vessels have MAN, B&W, Brons to name a few...yes these might be dated but they are still workhorses. Thanks again and please continue with the good work. Regards.
It was used as a pilot STATION ship under the name MARYLAND and was loved for its seagoing stability by the pilots who stayed on board, waiting for their next assignments !
De ELBE heeft als voorheen weer MAASSLUIS als thuishaven. Een bezoekje aan de buitenhaven is altijd de moeite waard. Zie ook voor (zee-)reizen en verdere info de website ": www.zeesleperelbe.nl
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Kayden Trace i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Het schip op de achtergrond was een fregat van de Kon. Marine op veiligheid-patrouille i.v.m. het bezoek van pres. OBAMA aan Den Haag gedurende het weekend van de proefvaart van de ELBE.
Yes, that is correct: Each engine is coupled via a hydro-pneumatic clutch tmo a gearbox ( two input / one (propellorshaft-)output) to combine both engines to a (reduced) propellorshaft. Note: Both engine rpm's and power should be same/sinchronised to enable this clutching ! The propellor is fixed-type, so both engines are reversable ! Nowadays (withoud need of towing-power) manouvring is often performed by two running engines (each engine in opposite direction) and using the clutches to make the propellor rotation direction in forward or reverse situation !
Mr. O'Blivian Why doesn’t each engine have it’s own propeller? These are low speed diesels so they don’t need a gearbox, each could have been directly connected to its own propeller.

So nice to see the old girl back in full working order, my Uncle sailed on her many years ago. Thank you for sharing this.
super thanks Rudy for this movi
Geweldig om te zien, vooral om dat ik 47 jaar geleden op de Elbe heeft gevaren, mooi filmje

+Peter Laue Please, please,you refurbish a lounge, a ship has a refit.
i heard about her going to russia, even way out in aus m8!
Me opa (c.de Ligt)zijn eerste klus begon met de msb Elbe zeesleper bij Smit ,hij was als eerste olieman
Ik heb een mooi schilderij van dit prachtig schip, zo worden ze niet meer gebouwd
ha Joop, geweldig. een leuke film, heb je goed in elkaar gezet. Ik heb het gelijk op mijn Fb gezet en op Twitter. gaat zeker een hit worden!!!!
dit was weer een prima film over en met de ELBE ; erna een oef. met Marine mannen , langszij komen enz.
Mooie film met mooie muziek bravo!
A trilha sonora ficou top demais !!!
Zeer mooie film!! Bedankt!
Main engine are made by SMIT licenced by M.A.N. and each, after upgraded with turbo blowers, approx. 2000 HP.
nice use of rod stewart. nice 1 elbe!
Greetings from Guyana to Germany... Great to hear Rod Stewart's 'sailing'. What make of engines are fitted here? Love it dearly.

I am pleased that t his tug passed her tests.!
I heard I am sailing, I liked.
That is the largest Pilot Vessel I have ever viewed - WOW

In één woord: Prachtig.
Ook de Polaris is een heel mooi schip!
I love boats like this. Forget the house, live aboard full time and cruise the work in comfort and safety! Just hire a basic crew to ease the work.

Het schip op de achtergrond was een fregat van de Kon. Marine op veiligheid-patrouille i.v.m. het bezoek van pres. OBAMA aan Den Haag gedurende het weekend van de proefvaart van de ELBE.
Geen fregat maar een patrouilleschip: Zr. Ms. Holland.
leuke film. ga vanmiddag mee naar dort in stoom.
That is one serious windless!
Geweldig!
Dank je; al weer 8 jaar geleden !! Waar blijft de tijd.
Voor meer van mijn video's, zet "Joop Terpstra"in uw zoekmachine.
what make are the main engines? also, that has to be one of the coolest compression testers ive ever seen
It was not a compression tester, but an INDICATOR, used to measure engine performance.
@@johnwilson6298 Looked like it was indicating compression, aka compression test. MTU engines use a similar style. I think it was made by Motometer
Good to see a Dutch FRISC 960 in action
Lovely old gal. The
job whell done!! respect! (y)
Piekny Holownik.Kiedys pracowalem w PRO na Holownikach Oceanicznych D/E Neptunia & D/E Posejdonie.
❤🎉Beautiful ❤🎉
cool
That is a First Class Vessel! I bet it doesn’t breed diseases and reek of vomit and sewage like a typical cruise ship does.
Whats with the Navy ship and special forces looking blokes? Forgive my ignorance on this subject.
+HDaviator They're the harbour pilots, they are needed to navigate Rotterdam harbour. So they board your ship to help you not run aground or get lost.
They are Dutch navy, the fast boat they approached on is called a FRISC, that one is a 9.6 meter but they have 12 and 13 meter ones also
mooie film Joop
WOW ! That is some size pilot cutter :-)
It's the mother ship for the regular pilot boats.
wat is die witte boot op de achtergrond ?
at 8:28 there like " Good day boys, what brings you out this way hmmmm?"
so it's 2 engines turning a single screw?
Yes, that is correct: Each engine is coupled via a hydro-pneumatic clutch tmo a gearbox ( two input / one (propellorshaft-)output) to combine both engines to a (reduced) propellorshaft.

GOOD

Ik ben daar
Mooi de Elbe en de Holland bij elkaar.
