+Dave Dennis The sound made me sleepy, too. I made a four-hour loop of these engines running. Helps me fall asleep and stay asleep. Thanks for the idea!
I find your videos very interesting. I've always been interested in any kind of machinery, especially what would be found in ships. I really enjoy the videos where you tell step by step what you're doing.
Thanks for the quick response ! I appreciated it,,,, my Dad served with the US Merchant Marines during World War II as a radio operator and I always enjoyed anything to do with boats.
Very engine clean well, do good to clean like that. very nice. We sale CCCP turbine heli, jet warbird (MIG's) and 27litre & 36litre V10 supercharge. This 197litre very huge. Sorry bad English spell. Greeting from Russia (Girood).. ♥️
Thanks for your videos, nice clean engine room. How old is the tug at the time of recording these videos? As far as reliable medium speed 4 cycle diesels are concerned, those ABC's have more than proven their worth in reliability for sure, over the many decades of time. Have you ever worked on a tug, or anywhere... where they had 2 cycle EMD power from the US ? If so, how did you like them, and how would you compare them to the ABC's your tug is powered by? Also, are those Voith - Schneiders I see, coupled behind those V12's ? How do you like them? Thanks again for your time and great video's.... much appreciated.
@@deecocheran1227.... Thanks for your reply, Dee. I've always preferred running EMDs over any 4 strokes, as a locomotive engineer, years ago. Yes, the 16V645's were always very reliable and very responsive engines. Are there any videos on the internet of the Petro Saudi Saturn?
1500 liter/h are equivalent to roughly 15 000 kW burning power or chemical capacity. With a power output of 7200 hp = 5300 kW we come to an efficiency of 35%. Not bad !
+Steven Richards The last video i posted is this boat ;) I don't know the exact numbers, but it is between 6 and 8 million euro's. Engines should last the life of the tug i think (30-40 years)
I assume the engines have automatic pre-lube pumps as the engineer did not seem to check any oil-level so the engine only starts when it reaches oil-pressure value.
No, not an APU as you'd find in an aircraft. A generator separate to engines to provide power all the time, regardless of whether engines are running. Most vessels have two.
+Elliott Hurst No they are switches that switch the controls from engineroom to wheelhouse and vice versa. In the beginning they were switched from wheelhouse to engineroom to have controls in the engineroom, and at the end they were switched to wheelhouse.
Hey, I think some have distinct sounds. I can hear difference between a Powerstroke and Cummins without looking at them. Obviously, I don't really know other diesels so I can't really tell the difference but I think some diesels can be identified by sound.
is that total hp. or the hp of each engine.? i had the privalige of starting a 5400 hp (merley bridgestone) sp. at the Whitehorse diesel plant. Those old engines were huge. love the vids can never wait for the next one. thanks
This is one of the cleanest engine rooms I have ever seen in my life
You should stick your head into the engine room of a huge Sportsfisher or Trawler. Those folks are nuts.

I think I've fallen in love with this engineroom!!

That's one heck of an engine room. Torque from those engines must be huge ... lovely units.
They do have some torque indeed ;-) May I ask how you found this video? On a website or suggested video by UA-cam?
+Shipping/Harbors It was a suggested by YT. I am a machinist and often look up engines etc - your video came up on the right and piqued my interest.
ChrisB257
Okay thx for the info ! :-)
+ChrisB257 ditto
Awesome vids! Love the working area and machinery. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the quick response !
I appreciated it,,,, my Dad served with the US Merchant Marines during World War II as a radio operator and I always enjoyed anything to do with boats.
It's so nice to see green lights being turned on and off.
I love your videos! Diesel Power!!
25 years working with heavy machinery, I could sleep down there with no problem.
I wonder how this would compare to my 20v Dewalt drill.
How old are these engines that they force air into the pistons to start it
Awesome engine sound!!
real clean engine room. Nice 😀
Very engine clean well, do good to clean like that. very nice.

The Petro Saudi Saturn had 5 16v645 EMDs for rig power as well as propulsion , they worked fine

If the engine was off then why was the engine room so noisy before starting the engine. Can anyone tell me the reason?
Even though the main engines are off, the tug still has electrical generator engines running all the time.
That is the noise from 2x 250 HP Scania Generator.
Call it the Green Thing!
Do you have to let them warm up for a while before you leave? Or just start and go ?
+bobl78 The engines are kept warm with a central heating unit. They are always +60C° ;)
ShippingHarbors What is your Job on these boats? Are you like a mechanic or so? Is there a Name for your Job? Greetings from Finland😊👌
You push buttons really good!
can we see the whole boat?
how much does a tug like that cost?
whats the life of a engine?
more information would be appreciated
+Steven Richards The last video i posted is this boat ;) I don't know the exact numbers, but it is between 6 and 8 million euro's. Engines should last the life of the tug i think (30-40 years)
vilem

ronald gilliland thats why the engines didnt turn over right away when he pushes the button.
And I thought my Super Duty V10 was awesome, you got me there for sure.
Was that an APU/Generator in the background before startup? Do you kill that once the engines are running and producing load?
No, not an APU as you'd find in an aircraft. A generator separate to engines to provide power all the time, regardless of whether engines are running. Most vessels have two.
What were those switches at the beginning and end? Were they something to do with the compressed air system?
+Elliott Hurst No they are switches that switch the controls from engineroom to wheelhouse and vice versa. In the beginning they were switched from wheelhouse to engineroom to have controls in the engineroom, and at the end they were switched to wheelhouse.
Shipping/Harbors Ah, thanks
Would it be more accurate to say 7,200 SHP?
What are the engines running in the background?
they sound like a Cummins to me.
That is the diesel generator (Scania)
Lol its a Diesel engine.... They sound the same.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 "sounds like a cummins to me" you sound like a dodge fan girl to me
Hey, I think some have distinct sounds. I can hear difference between a Powerstroke and Cummins without looking at them. Obviously, I don't really know other diesels so I can't really tell the difference but I think some diesels can be identified by sound.
25 liters of fuel a minute at full power! Wow . Basically 1 liter every 30 seconds per cylinder .
Why does am engine room need a big ass room heating radiator ?
because it gets cold when they are running on shore power for a few days.....
How are these engines rebuilt? Looks like you would have to take the damn boat apart.
you only need to cut a hole in the side if there is major damage which requires total removal of the engine...... ...
are those voith schneider propeller in blue there ?
That is correct! ;-)
Is that an ocean going tug?
No, this is a harbortug ;)
With that much horsepower, I wasn't sure. Thanks for letting me know.
+Kevin Chamberlain You're welcome ;)
engine model?
I like to work there!
what are it's emission control? actual emissions please
Not as fun as the train startups though since the exhaust can't be heard
is that total hp. or the hp of each engine.? i had the privalige of starting a 5400 hp (merley bridgestone) sp. at the Whitehorse diesel plant. Those old engines were huge. love the vids can never wait for the next one. thanks
Carlos S That is the total HP, 3600 per engine.
Those are Anglo Belgian diesels, a very excellent engine.
+lekkousa Yep that is correct 2x 3600hp V12 :)
Ahh right, My memory. thanks

Wooke
so i couldnt put this on a truck right
+Tucker Moore The engine alone weighs about 9 Tonnes :)
Oh ok thank you
But what if i had four
5 ton axles
+Tucker Moore Hahaha you also need a bit of fuel for this engine. About 500liter/hour at maximum performance :)
+ShippingHarbors do you own all of this stuff
wish the generators weren't so noisy
That sound is from the extremely rapid combustion in EFFICIENT diesel chambers. No free lunch.
Dont just go down clicking switches man... you didn’t even clear the prop.
