Engine room of a 300 000 ton oil tanker (VLCC) bonus: Boilers & Engine control room
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 жов 2024
- I made a walkaround of the engineroom of a very large oil tanker. This ship has about 300 000 DWT, and at fully loaded its draft is too deep for the Suez channel. They have massive powerful steam cargo pumps, so they need large boilers to power them. Also managed to have a look through the engine control room for you hard core ship nerds.
Who can not love this ?
Clean, well arraigned and marked. I did my time in the engine rooms on DD's & FF's. 1275 PSI ,Super Heated Steam. Twin Pinion Double Reduction Gears. Man the scream of the Westinghouse Main Turbines was awesome. I have always loved machines and equipment . This vid is excellent, thank you for sharing. Working and operating the main spaces with a good team was rewarding . I could spend days exploring this engine room and learning.
Nice to see clean and tidy engine room like this one, seems ready for welcoming PSC inspector...
1st thing you look @ on any ship is the how clean the engine room is......that will tell you everything you need to know about the crew captain and company your dealing with....Immaculate tells me exactly what I need....congratulations to the ships company.....
The fireroom of my WWII vintage Navy destroyer never looked this "pretty", 50 years later and occasionally I still have dreams I'm a 19 year old kid back aboard her with shipmates I know for a fact are long dead. It's funny how sea life is indelible, now way too old to go back on the water, dreams are all I have left, thanks for sharing your space.☺
Thank you for watching my video Hank. Also for shearing a very interesting aspect from your experience out there in the real world. Tell me if there is something specific I should include in a video in the future from life at sea.
That was so well said . when you been there long enough it is your life and is who you are .
I have dreams too at night, back in the forward enginerom of USS Renshaw DD 499 with my old 3 war CPO B.A. Gensler during the Vietnam War. Exhausting.
Clean and functional. What a playground for an engineer
Bringing that thing safely from point A to B is one hell of a responsibility
you mean origin to destination? at origin pilot comes to maneuver to undock with giant tugboats assisting and escorting up to where it can safely move on its own before the pilot disembarks. at destination there's a point in the sea described in latitude and longitude where pilot boards through pilot ladder or helicopter to maneuver the ship, giant tugboats assisting and escorting until this giant is safely moored to bollards. all the captain does is supervise his navigators from chief mate down to 3rd mate -- but the captain takes all the responsibilty whatever happens.
Very nice light placement in engine room and love the smoke detectors signs on the floor and many many details!
@Andrews Struth Yes it is lot of functions to do!
Wao this ER looks brand new, thanks for a great video! Regards from a former 2nd officer at Wallenius PCTC.
Complimenti to the owner,superintend, and crew for good maintenances and clean of whole engine room
Im writing this laying in the rack of 4hold port upper tween deck on the 1967 Freighter T.S. Kennedy. WISHING we had an engine room this neat and beautiful.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😮
Every single step is very important in onboard.... No compromise with anything. I like the crew member and their team work .
It's called professionalism.
So nice and clean engine room. And. so high quality of ship building!
Agree
I really enjoy seeing the footage you folks show of your beautiful ships. As a career sailor, I think it would have been an honor to work with folks like you in my younger days .... the material condition of your ship is amazing. Thanks for sharing this vid!! :)
Hi Calvin. Thank you for liking my video. I am working on a new video now, and it will be published any day. That one will impress you. Stay tuned for more vids!!
That engine room is an amazing achievement
Just absolutely incredible engineering. It's probably spending the propeller at 25 RPM. These things are so complex but yet so simple. You have to be the best at what you do to be out at Sea and keep these things running they need constant maintenance. A car puts on an average of about 10,000 mi a year these things do that in a month
It's an an engine room, cleaner than many houses would ever be
Very beautiful and clean engine room areas keep it so far.
About 25,763 times I wanted you to stop and let my Chief Mechanical Officer mind look at some point of interest. Super video, sir and thank you for the time and effort going into this sharing of your baby.
Would have loved to see how this giant looked on the outside... massive machine!
very beautifully maintained engine room
Very nice engine room....and brand new ship....
0:46 I like how they painted yellow smiley faces on the manhole covers :-)
What strikes me about this video is how LOUD the machinery noise seems to be. Do ship engineers tend to suffer higher rates of hearing loss than people from other occupations?
And on this video the main engine is not even running. The ship was in a terminal loading cargo when I made the video. On some of my other videos you can hear the screaming sound of the turbines, while the main engine is running full speed. And yes, many engineers have bad hearing because of noise. They are very consistent in using airplugs and such, but sometimes high noise appear without notice.
Now those are massive engines...imagine the size alone of her connecting rods....to think they used to be exposed on the outside and having to constantly oil them.
This is so cool!😍 I am totally geeking out here! I could look at this all day long and not get tired of it. WOW. That engine is HUGE! I love it!
Such a bright and spotless ship!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Nice clean Engine Room.
Very nice video, one massive engine and boiler room. I would like to see the power plant for this huge vessel, must have enough power to light up 3 states. The control room is like something out of the Enterprise's Bridge with the computer screens, and more streamlined.
Hi Theo. The powerplant (generators) are in the video. This ship does not need so much energy, so the three generators you see in the video is all there is. On a cruise ship, there are massive powerplants. I hope to make a video from the engineroom of a cruiseship in not too long also.
Nunca vi uma praça de máquinas tão limpa e organizada!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Manutenção recente com certeza. Esperemos para ver tudo isso daqui um mês.
@@ccbueno1 , eu sou " vapozeiro".....
4 décadas empurrando água....praca de máquinas neste vídeo, não é qualquer manutenção mensal que vai deixar a praça de máquinas neste condição......repare, zero vazamento, zero sujeira....ate marca de bota vc não vê.....enfim, nós, marítimos brasileiros somos um monte de bosta.
@@02081953able Não estou falando de manutenção rotineira mas de manutenção geeral quando se para a máquina troca as peças e se pinta tudo novamente. É praticamente impóssivel manter uma praça de máquinas sem nenhuma gota de óleo no cháo,nas válvulas e sinais em volantes que foram atuadas.
@@ccbueno1 , desculpe, brother, mas nós, marítimos brasileiros temos a ideia errônea de apenas " conduzir " ....estive em uma casa de bombas de um navio de bandeira panamenha...o fundo da cada de bombardear pintado de branco!!!!! Vc não precisa ser expert em manutenção para constatar que navio mercante brasileiro foi e é muito negligenciado.....se vc notar um convés de navio não brasileiro, vc não vê um ponto de ferrugem....quandobeu estava na Fronape, estive embarcado com um certo Comandante, muito " conceituado"....faziamos o trade Brasil/Japão/ Golfo Persico/Brasil....90 dias em média....pois bem, o safado, mandava abrir galão de tinta, despejar no convés e passar o rolo....sem qualquer tratamento para a ferrugem.....os principais da Fronape , burros para Caralho, viam aquela merda, e " elogiavam" o safado....com o tempo, o convés ficou igual a vc pisar em um tapete felpudo !!! Vistoso por fora, cheio de podre por baixo!!!
Impressive! What on earth is that gigantic ship? It will soon be like the control room of a nuclear power plant. I've never seen anything like it. Just how many floors it has. Then the cameraman goes down one flight of stairs and still isn't down! I would really like to know how big this ship is. I myself work in industry and produce large gears. Mostly for gears of wind generators. But we have also manufactured gears for marine gearboxes. That's something gigantic!
Hi. The ship is a big oil tanker. It is 322 meters long and 60 meters wide. It is one of the big ones. But check out my other video of a engineroom with the worlds biggest ship engine: ua-cam.com/video/rm9SjAJ_ki8/v-deo.html
That ship is 400 meters long...
By the way. I am the cameraman ;-) I made the video.
THIS SHIP'S ENGINE ROOM IS SPOTLESS VERY GOOD PERFECT CH ENG,2 ENG, N OTHER PERSONNELS TOO GET THIS CREDIT WELL DONE
Congratulations to Chief Engineer!!!!
Congratulations to the crew who are the ones that keep the engine room and all other areas of the vessel clean, not the Chief Eng.
@@johntaggart1176 but everything depend on the Chief!
Wow, this engineroom is cleaner than my kittchen. Incredible !!
Incredible again.
Ballo payya
well, i hope you realized that you clean up your kitchen after watching this.
Listening to this is extremely relaxing.
Very nice and beautiful engine room... obsolete clean
Nice tour on the video. You have a nice video stedy and fine
Looks like a brandnew vessel
Main engine recorded 2018, it brand new 👍🏼😃
04:18 love this colour of Himsen engine!
Bring a lot of old memories 😀 thanks
Cam operator Excellent.
Really clean..such a contrast to the mud they burn and pollute the air intensively:D
It has exhaust gas scrubber installed.
@@andresteinum Aye mainly for the inert gas system for the cargo tanks.
@@johntaggart1176 hi John. The exhaust scrubber on this one is mainly to clean the exhaust from the main engine from sulphuric dioxide (SO2). This is because of new pollution regulations from 2020. They also have inertgas scrubber onboard, and those clean and cool the exhaust gas from the boilers to be used as an inertgas for the cargo tanks.
@@andresteinum OK Andre
Sure beats the open knife switch board days.
This is a brand new VLCC!
I assume you're discharging the vessel since all generators are running and you can hear the COPT running, i also guess the loud noise is the steam dumping valve being opet and dumping steam into the COPT condenser?
Nice video, like it very much!
No this is the vessel full away.
Просто удивительно, как такая страна как Корея стала мировым лидером в судостроении. Я работал на балкерах построных в Корее. На многих судах я работал, на японцах, на немцах на финах, на поляках, на русских, на румынах. Но лучше как строят корейцев никто не строит, даже Те-же японцы. Маленький народ с огромным потенциалом.
Solid engine mechanical sound takes some beating.
An immaculate engine room. Most of mine were beat to hell.
So clean! Is that a maiden voyage? Bet it still has that new ship smell. The control room is exceptionally noisy tough.
Look at those cylinder dimensions: 800mm bore by 3.7 metre stroke, max output 24500 kw @ 66 rpm. That's a lotta torque there. Hyundai MAN/B&W, so presumably a Korean built ship
Super video...👍from india🇳🇪
engineering genius all around!
very good video of E/Room and control room. keep it up
Many thnx for this posting - - - common people, even our shipping ministers since 1947 has any idea what a tough job the seafarers do to carryout carrying Tons & Tons of cargo across the world and people enjoy the Benifit - - - - also those who design these giant vessels - - - - we should circulate among our freinds and relatives for them to have an idea what exactly shipping is - - - - also if a video is available when maintenance is carried out on the Main Engine and generator.
Thank you Sujit for the kind comment on my video. You have kind of hit spot on what I try to do with my channel. I want to show the people that is not "out there" where their loved ones spend their everyday work life. Most people have not the slightest idea what kind of hard working life this is. I will certainly try to make a video of a major service on one of these giants when I am out there in the future.
I love my job,this places is so much memories as an engineer.
Beautifly clean enginering and machinery compartments, of course there huge and most likey built by Hyundai Shipbuilding?
Best not to forget a spanner on deck. :) 2:39, 24,500kW at 66.1RPM, 3.7m stroke... those are some specs!
lot of power for quite a small cylinder diameter... only 800 mm (31.4")
It’d be much nicer if there was some sort of narration. What am I looking at? What does this thing do? What work do you do? What is it like living and working on a ship?
covering all hoses tubes and fittings strategically is this fixed shallow platform or floating platform. looks like a multi stage bleed and mix platform maybe
HI Andre Steinum what camara did you use for this video nice hq and sound love video
Good Slow Video. Time to see things! Thanks
Amazing video. To think of all the work that goes into designing and making this. And i struggle to fix some parts on my bicycle. The mechanics that maintenance these kind of contraptions must have been those types that played around with mechanics since they were 2 years old.
The sad thing is that they probably only make about 30 000$ a year. Should be at least a zero added on to it.
That's some giantific machinery! 🙂
I love and respect Ship crew particularly officers to survive so at large ship with plenty huge machinries. what will be the one main engine cap in bhp. what is the boiler cap, and cargo pump.cap, normally what are cago discharge rate. 36 hrs at one port is very very very short stay. How people stay fo 9 months. what are the strenth of officers & crew
Twisting and turning levels. Need a route map and indicators for quick location without getting lost somewhere in this maze.😀
Very smart , nice to all room
I like and very happy to u all crew
Godĺess u all
Amen
Great video. But what are we looking at? Provide info on what we're seeing.
Hi Vaughan. Thank you for checking out my videos. Yes I will improve the quality in my future videos. Because of travel restrictions, I have not been able to make alot of new material the last year. New videos will come in near future. I work on all kinds of ships, and sometimes really special ones.
@@andresteinum Yea, the engine room scenes are great, but not being a marine engineer, I was lost...keep up the good work, a lot of us video seamen, enjoy you and Chief Makoi...both of you do great work...take care and stay safe
I like this boat!
Good salient future for turbocharger with using the supercharging for main engine.....
7 cylinders seems an unusual configuration for an engine? Most high speed diesels are an even number of cylinders, 6, 8, 12, 16 etc. Is there a reason for this? Or is this a “modular” engine where any number of cylinders can be specified for an application? I was training to be a marine engineer for Texaco in London in 1967, but gave up because the mathematics was too hard for me in steam turbine applications.
This is a 2 stroke, slow speed engine.
I guess the engines sound for you like a comforting cat's purr for me
Exelente reportaje. Falto una Narracion. Tecnica. Para que nos. Enseñé los nombres y la UTILIDAD de cada uno de los....magníficos elementos tecnicos que se muestran en vídeo GRACIAS por subir ESTE magnifico video
Nice and clean but lethal if complacency sets in.
Excelente video. Ya 😎
The imagination all this will end at Alang one day is unbelievable.
Is this a new ship? So clean. Are older ships maintained this way
Hi. This ship was two years old when I made the video. I also have a video of the worlds cleanest engineroom. That ship was over ten years old... So yes some crew really keep their engineroom in battleshipshape.
I love this place
This is not an engine room, this is an engine cathedral.
cylinder bore is close to 3 feet in diameter with cylinder displacement being a little over 12 feet...WOW! I wonder what kind of spark plugs this beast uses...
Feeling of brand new is different.
This is massive
Looks very new.
Hi Ernie. This ship was about 2 years old at the moment of recording I believe. It was built by HYUNDAI SAMHO HEAVY INDUSTRIES in South Korea.
Engine room or operating room?So clean 👍
Probably hyndai build it the best docks ever!!!!
Hi Adventure Story. Thank you for watching my video. You are right, the ship was built by HYUNDAI SAMHO HEAVY INDUSTRIES CO., LTD. In 2019. They build some massive big ships there. I have visited these yards several times.
liked very much the video
Imagine what CERN looks like.
Seriously way more high tech than this.
Nicely done video. Very smooth filming with no jerking around - thank you.
Super clean engine spaces or is this a new ship. If it’s the former, then kudos to the crew! Were those full size boilers?
Thanks,
Ram
This was a two year old ship. The crew are still keeping it tidy. Thank you for the cudos.
I love this
just wonder what they do with ships like this when it gets old and too costly to maintain, sell it for demilition for scrap ?
Very nice, very new, very clean Is there an Exhaust Turbine Alternator as well? Cargo Pumps deck mounted?
NO cargo pumps are located in the engine room forard of the main engine on the middles.
I remember working on a oil tanker its so hard to control the Inert gas when one boiler is running I hope now they have an automatic control not human control on that equipment
I was a service engineer for inert gas systems on oil tankers for 10 years. And yes they are fully automated now. You set the pressure you want to have in the tanks, and the system does everything by itself. If the oxygen level rice too high, it send the gas to atmosphere instead of to the tanks.
beauty...well done
thats where i. manned during my sorties as 3rd engr its like MAN B&W ENGINE
Wow! No bulkheads or subdivisions to protect against flooding...at all.
I just want to say WOW...
I'm amazed how far back the engine is compared to ships built 20 years ago, the distance to the stern tube is so short. Does it have a Plummer block on that part? Also, I noticed that there are only crankcase doors on one side, that must make it much more awkward when opening up bottom ends etc for surveys as all the tools and personnel will need to go over the top of the crank. It's a long way down as well with 3.7m stroke.
What pressure is your boiler running, it's a fair size, do you have steam driven cargo pumps?
Thanks for the uploads, they help to remind people that there's a Merchant Navy bringing them 90% of their goods.
Generally two water tube boilers are fitted to these type of vessels , for max cargo pumping at discharge ports.
On tankers one wants to avoid a propeller shaft tunnel for obvious reasons, so the machinery is always positioned aft.
Between the tailshaft and the M.E. there is normally one intermediate shaft.
Shaftline is supported by one, sometimes two plummer blocks.
very clean
Hell is pretty dam clean
Got it in one.
which yard built this vessel?
how many long this ship ?
Noisy in the ecr? Why paint the ladder hand rails, you can’t slide down them then
Elsker den grønnfargen ❤️❤️❤️
