I enjoy this very much! As an engineer I have always had great curiosity with big ships and their engines. UA-cam has opened up another world to see and learn the going's on in our societies. Thank you for posting! 👍
Man that tour was really good 😊 thanks so much for that... Great sound, would love to hear slow ahead, to full ahead... Just hear it wind up... Thanks man... 😊
This reminds me of my 16 years at sea as a Marine Engineer Cadet to Second Engineer with a Chief Engineers certificate. Thank you for taking the time to annotate all the equipment and also for allowing the viewer to experience the ambient Noise of the engine room while underway. Why are the doors to the steering gear and emergency fire pumps tied open? {When I was at sea the Engine Room complement was Chief; 2nd; 3rd; 4th; Electrician + 3 Junior Engineer watchkeepers. If we were note rated for Umanned Machinery Spaces we would also have 3 Fireman/Oilers.}
Sir, sometimes we open one watertight door at the steering gear room, because the engine blower creates a strong vacuum inside the engine room, and might cause accident opening one door, , but it is strictky closed before arrival and secured while at port.
@@winefredoeran822 Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like that is a design fault not having enough air being supplied to the engine room by the supply fans, or too much being exhausted from the engine room exhaust fans.
It's amazing how much crap it takes just to move a ship from point A to point B!! all those pumps, filters, pipes, generators, coolers, turbines, on and on it goes!! I own one link of a ships' anchor chain that a salvage outfit brought back from the ship breaking place in India, the link weighs 145 pounds! I wanted to get one of the large valves from the main engine but they didn't have any, and I wanted to get an engine order telegraph but didn't get around to it and the outfit was sold and all the telegraphs they had vanished off their web site.
4:20 Safety First is fun...Those pipes represent a constant stumbling menace ...and what are those bins ? hydraulic fluids? lubricants? flammable? stored in a cave between electric motors & panels and a basket of nylon rope ?
Fantastic. I've only been in 1200lb steam plants on ships. (Navy) And V12 diesels on boats.(USCG) The ships diesel is as complicated and interesting as anything I've seen. Thank you for the walk through.
Been working an almost same type of ship couple of years ago..5 7 ...now i am on passengers...difference from earth to sky..but ty..this brought me back many memories...
I spent time in the engine room of several ships. One ship was powered by a triple expansion reciprocating steam engine (Liberty Ship), a tug with 4 Turbocharged Diesels driving DC generators, a steam turbine electric drive and a steam turbine direct drive through a reduction gear. All in the US Navy 60+ years ago. Your engine room is bigger than all of those put together. The space is well kept and properly labeled. Even the box with a hand written label. Thanks for the video. Brings back memories.
Oh wow man... 😮 Triple expansion steam engine... Hey thats Poetry in Motion man... I heard of quadruple expansion engines out there, you are lucky to have been there... I live in New Zealand and I volunteered on a Steam Tug, here... She had twin compound engines, 500 horse each, two cylinders, not three, but I get where you are coming from.. 😊 I used to hand fire the British Scotch Type Marine Boiler, 75 psi was her happy place... Built in 1908, she is still going... All hand lubricated, I used to be greaser, as well... They used to let me be "5th engineer..." In port, just rocking the engines over... The trick was to keep your engine at top dead centre... It was a "can you do it thing...? " 😅 You may have to blast it with Impulse Steam to give it a kick, but those tons of British Marine Engineering was at your fingertips man... Fond memories a... Anyhoo... 😊
Thank you for the tour of your engine room well documented the best on UA-cam

thak you very much
Now apparently named MIM Vangelis Jr. Bulk carrier, built 2005, 39727 gt, 76619 dwt, 225 m.

Thanks a lot Bro, appreciate it
The main engine sounds like a steam engine.
I bet that turbo ain't half piercing

Very very shaky video.had to stop watching
This is because go pro not conceived for documentary
wow - that was awesome - loved the accompanying sound - a great vid!

Sir you didn't show oily water separator
What a display of machinery !!!!. It is like a factory, but packed tight (and tidy).
Been working an almost same type of ship couple of years ago..5 7 ...now i am on passengers...difference from earth to sky..but ty..this brought me back many memories...
The steering gear room doors needs to be kept closed! Solas requirement
Slow down your camera pans.
