As Per Stan below. That's was ambition to look around the engine room of a big ship. In 1988 we got to look around the bridge of the ferry we were on, but they couldn't show us the engines.. ......so 30 years later you have realised the ambition!!!! As Stan said, thorough and labelled clearly too. Nice job.
That was THE best tour ever. Subtitles for each area/department. Popping outside periodically gave the viewers a reference to just where you were in relations to the ship when you emerged. Certainly gives one a great idea just how much there is to look after , and certainly gives a sense of how it's all spread out on different deck levels. There's a lot of climbing and descending of ladders and staircases. Sure want to be fit in order just to get around. Thanks for sharing.
Love this tour and it brings home the intricacies of all the components of the engine room that makes these ocean behemoths work...thot the outside shots of the ship equally fine. And yes that noise of the engines can put me out like a lite. Thx for having this on the tube!
@@HighAway man that was cool...!! Even if it was in his break.. 😁 some of us are interested in that stuff, others aren't... hardly worth your time to butt into a fan conversation, don't you think..?? Hope you are safe wherever you are in the World at the moment... not stuck at sea with Covid 19 stalking the decks... or stuck at home in a room, ruining people's good buzzes... 👏👏
Thank you for identifying some of the systems for us landlubbers! I am alys amazed by how many systems there are on these large ships and such large engines. I also noticed how quite each room was and how quite the control room was, as compared to a ship tour video I saw of electric propulsion that was very loud in every room as well as the deafening loudness of the control room! Do these ships have a chief engineer? Does the chief engineer know ever pieces of every system on board? I am surprised in what appears to be very few people on board and no one ion the control room! Thanks for the tour! What a amazing example of maga-engineering!
It looks complicated, but once you understand the various systems, it is quitte straight foreward. All engineers with a watch keeping licence should be able to do that.
That is fascinating. Hard to believe there's men (and women too probably) that know all those ten billion kms of piping and tubes and tanks and gauges and rooms and ladders. OMG. Cheers!
What is the main engine's exhaust note like? Im guessing its such low RPM that it doesn't have a 'normal' diesel exhaust thump? If someone put a microphone up near the main stack, what would it sound like?
I take it at this point in the video, we are looking at a spare piston and connecting rod, plus some other plastic wrapped spares? ua-cam.com/video/xiJkLIEQYVI/v-deo.htmlm20s And at ua-cam.com/video/xiJkLIEQYVI/v-deo.htmlm40s we're looking at the tiller head? Awesome tour! Thanks so much, even though it was almost 4 years ago.

A very interesting tour of a modern engine room.
Very clean E/R. Good maintenance.
Great tour! The scale of that equipment is incredible.

Incredible the fuel & oil smell remember get directly in my nose when i walk again in the engine room with that virtual video . . Funny
Brilliant, many thanks for the tour. 👍
Great tour,,,,,I feel like I was inside this amazing ship.
Thanks for the Tour ! 👍
Best ships tour ever! Thanks so much!!
That was a raceway tour if I ever saw one. I guess it was fitted in.
Hey thank you for taking the time to film this for us... : )
he had to take the time at break time to do this.

Thank you. I enjoyed it very much.
Great video thanks 👌
Fantastic tour thank you , amazing,
amazing! great video.
beautiful tour!!

Engine room....is the best big ship
Very good. But we would like to see more of the workshop.
super! :-)
very very good . thanks very much
Great video. Near the end, was that the rudder hydraulics? No caption, but I think it was.
And I'm a landlubber.
If I worked there I'd be asleep in 5 min with that sound. Mmm
chris holmes you're right about that. I spent 12 years in engineering e rooms on warships and it sucks the life out of you.
What is the main engine's exhaust note like? Im guessing its such low RPM that it doesn't have a 'normal' diesel exhaust thump?
If someone put a microphone up near the main stack, what would it sound like?
Where is everybody ?
great video mate (y)
Amazing tour !. Did you recorded with GoPro head mounted ?
Excellent.
thanks and yes I did
Sulzer RT-flex main engine.
Impressive. It'l take a month of Sundays to get that exhaust carbon off your hands from the tour of the stack.
Great tour but one question: Ghost ship? Where the fk is everyone?
Maersk line = skeleton crew
Out of curiosity who were the 7 idiots who negged this hard work?
Can one of you explain why you have.
That's yer rounds right there gents.
the heat exchanger is a plate type right???
Yes
3 fuel injectors per unit
AWESOME tour!!!
How long is your "average" tour between off times?
Peace N Smiles!!🙏🏻😄
Thanks. on average I do 90 days on 90 off. This particular trip was 105 days
Tom Trousdell
where is the ignition switch and the on/off button?
I take it at this point in the video, we are looking at a spare piston and connecting rod, plus some other plastic wrapped spares? ua-cam.com/video/xiJkLIEQYVI/v-deo.htmlm20s
And at ua-cam.com/video/xiJkLIEQYVI/v-deo.htmlm40s we're looking at the tiller head?

Is this a Sulzer engine?
What engine is that?
Sulzer Flex RT96C 8 cylinder
Altho the optics are distorted.
Interesante
B&W diesel Copied by MAN Germany.....
Mugge nope. That was Sulzer rotoflex
yep sulzer flex 96C
