- In this video I'll be showing how a ship's main engine is started. We will not go into detail so I'll just be showing what is generally done. Also, the procedure will be different for each ship due to type of main engine or design of machinery so this will be more of what is commonly done.

How to Start the Ship's Main Engine - Навчання та стиль
Thanks, this really helped me start my ship's engine.
This comment is the best comment.
Don't they teach you how to start a ship in training?
@@damonabets3779 if getting a joke made you money, youd be broke.
u mean on minecraft ? 😜😏
@@Hoptockets you too
Back in the 70's the ME was only turned for a few minutes, not the 30 you did. There was no auxiliary blower. It was a blast of air, shut the indicators. Then standby the telegraph. Manoeuvring was always on diesel and then switched to heated heavy fuel oil when Full away.
Lots of things have changed since I retired, most for the better.
Yeah a lot of advancements nowadays. The latest is the electronically controlled engines. No more camshafts.

Hi Stephen, your comment brought back a few memories about changing from marine diesel to heavy fuel oil when underway. Perhaps, Chief MAKOi, if you are reading this could you say if this is still done? We also had to commission the exhaust gas boiler whilst maneouvering and that was fun! Also did a Panama Canal passage with only one air compressor, as the chief wanted the other surveyed- very worrying at the time
@@MervynPartin In CP we stopped changing over to diesel for standbys many years ago. I left the sea in 86 and we had been on heavy all the time for most of the decade. Heavy oil burning generators hadn't come in by that time though, that's a more recent development.
All this button pressing for a blow on air etc, and "nothing to see" is nowhere near as fun as driving the job from the sticks, either in the ECR or on the engine side! And I loved seeing the rockers going up and down, and the beat of a 7-cylinder engine...
I'm not sure I'd like to sail on a ship with no camshaft, no "sticks" on the engine side, subservient to a bunch of ladder logic encapsulated in something the size of a Smartie!
@@stephencarey5074 Thanks for your reply to my query on diesel/heavy oil changeover. I left the sea in 77 as a 2/E in P&O Bulk Shipping, having started out as a J/E with B&W and Sulzer engines on the sticks- definitely much more fun than the remote controls! Only once did we ever go on standby on heavy oil, but there were no problems. Later ships had more automation and that probably caused more trouble than mechanical breakdowns with frequent card failures and lack of spares. Hopefully, the technology has improved to a more reliable standard on modern vessels (and appropriate training in maintaining it).
Truly impressive, your degree of professionalism, and the technical proficiency required by members of the Engineering Department! It looks like the work never ends!
"Bro, I left the keys at my g/f's place onshore...... "
"Oh, maaaaaaan......." :)
then get a new one
Thank chief Makoi for your intruction trainer,B&W MAN its a fantastic diésel engine ,I has been works 20 years ago,as 2nd engineer and my prefert job on the engine,was take deflexion measure cranckshaft.Greeting from Uruguay🇺🇾🇺🇾
Thanks C/E Makoi, it's a big help for us a student to watch a vlog how to start an engine.. keep it up and god bless
This has to be one of the best channels on U Tube. Every episode brilliant.
Thank you for putting time and effort to put up such an amazing video!
Thanks a lot! I'm a navigator and this video helps me to see what's going on in the ER
Somewhere on an old computer across the world, there is a Somali pirate taking notes from this video.
This is probably pretty difficult to replicate. Especially since all ships arnt built the same.
They have no brain so it’s no risk
@@NoBody-ht1oh HAHAHAHAHAHA
Somali pirates uses pirated version of Kongsberg MV90-V simulator to learn. They are pirates after all ;-)
I remember one story and jokes I cannot forget about starting of Main engine. One of my engine cadet colleague, were ask by our chief engineer to go and get "the KEY" for starting main engine. And master also played along and give him a big key. And once he down ECR, everybody laugh. Oh those jokes on cadets or first time onboard ships are priceless.
Not even funny. As a future Deck Officer, making cadets respect you by making jokes like these or thinking you are tough because a cadet has never been in a ship before isn't funny at all. If you treat them as they are and show them a few things they will see you as someone they look up to and admire and follow your example. Those kinds of behaviors aren't acceptable in my book. As a future Deck Officer and God willing to become a Master, if anyone ever did that on my ship he would get thrown out immediately. Period.
With that sense of humor, I hope someone tosses you over the fantail at 0300. (from someone with more time on a saltwater shitter than YOU have onboard)
Thank you chief Makoi for give us some knowledge about ship and also you inspire me to work on ship...
Chief, another informative video. Keep them coming!
A very well done clip for the average man. Thank you for posting 😎
Ah! I needed this at 3AM in the morning.
Good stuff Chief. Most Enjoyable and educational. Thanks.
Depends on the ship. The first ship I was stationed on to "start" it involved soaking a rag in fuel oil and shoving it into the burner and lighting the fuel on fire. Yes, it's a steam powered ship, and currently on deployment in the middle east. The USS Essex LHD-2.
@@user-lp3cf5yn5b 100% true
@@dundonrl the fact that f35's are deployed from a steam ship is fucking awesome
LPD-4 checking in, Brother. Actually the torch is lit with a Zippo per NavRegs and shoved into the burner-barrel. ✌
Thank you chief . You are very good man 💙
Nice video on showing the startup of main engine chief! I am a Marine Engineering student and this gives me a glimpse of what my future job will be :) more power!
Thanks!
Thank you chief Makoi for reminding making engineering interesting, keep up the great work
i found this very interesting , fully explaining each step to start your ships engine ,, i have always love big engines and machinery of all types and it's interesting to see how different things operate ,,, even more interesting to see how they start that particular engine with compressed air
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. 😁
Thank you for this video. I was always curious about this.
Chief your videos are excellent and point wise
Hello Chief? Following you all the way from Kenya. 4/E returning to sea soon. Nice videos. Keep it up.
Thanks!
this is very good reminder before onboard and educational. Thanks chief.
Love this channel
OUTSTANDING Chief MAKOi !!! Carry on!!!
Very helpful video , needed some freshning up on the topic before the tests. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thumbs up very good information !
I love your videos, very interesting insight into a different world
My dad and uncle were on ocean going tugs, when I was a kid I got to go into the engine room of one.
Don’t remember it being this clean ! 😃
Great videos Chief, thank you
Thank you for another excellent video
Thanks for watching!
This vlog is so helpful. Thank you so much sir.
Excellent video! Thank you.
Thanks Chief! Engine telegraph procedures is quite a mystery for me as an aspiring deck officer, your video gave me a whole lot of new perspective.
Salamat talaga sir Chief. Tagal ko na d bumabalik sampa tagal ng line up ko..sa vlogs mo meju na refresh dn utak ko..😁
I love when your making a video like this sir

Great video Chief! I always wondered how they start up those huge engines.
Thank you sir, very well explained!!!!!
sir makoi laking tulong po talaga ito para mag bigay ng idea lalo na sa katulad kong cadete. patuloy lang po sa pag gawa ng video sir! God bless po 😊
Thank You for Very Informative Video Chief!
+Carl James Capangpangan you're welcome.
This really helped me
Very nice video, being a c/e myself, I was waiting for you to say "get propeller clearance" from deck side, before airblow and few turns ahead and astern.☺
Thanks! I did say "As soon as the Bridge gives the all clear" 👍😄
Hii sir
Yes I remember an incident in Lagos, with a ship turning its engines alongside: Its propellor sliced through a barge, which was out of sight from the aft deck.
My ship received a telegram from HO saying "....one of our twin-screwed vessels..." The company only had one such ship so we all knew which one had dropped the clanger!
Thank you - very interesting - something very few of us ever get to see or know about. Well done
Nice presentation. Thanks!
Very nice!
Hi sir :) Chief Lodi , nice blog. Sana magkita tayo somewhere hahaha

I am so thankful that I found your channel as an engine cadet! And thank God the main engine where I'm at and the control room console are identical to the one shown in your video! Thanks to you I could impress my bosses hahah.
Thank you for such an detailed and easy to understand video
Thanks from Somalia
Love your video chief, I'm sailing with mtm
That looks like one fun amazing job 👍😎
It looks fun but it actually doesn't. Unless, you have passion in it, then it'll be okay.
Nice chief. Ito ang pangarap ko someday. Ang maging marine engineer. I'll always watch your videos para ma update ako sa buhay ng isang marine engineer.
Ingat lagi chief.
Sir thank for that vlog I have learn a lot. Kahit na sa gnyn na praan sir nadadagdagan ung kaalamn ko pg dating s malalaking brko,maliit lng po ksi s sinasakyan ko. At s mga kabaro ko especially sa mga di pa nkasampa matutuwa dn sila sir at my idea if they try to watch this video. I salute u po sir. Godbless 😇⚓🚢
As a Marine Engineering student nakakatuwa na may ganitong videos mas nakaka excite tuloy magtapos at sumakay hehehe, thanks for this sir!
ayos to sir...malaking tulong to sa amin..salamat!!
wow. thank you this helps a lot sir
go on Chief...interesting video!
Thanks!
Salamat chief Makoi for excellent insight and video 😁👍
Thank you too!
And today on things that you didn't know that you needed to know...
Sometimes I really like the UA-cam algorithm, great videos 👍
Hello, Sir, my students and I appreciate your videos and excellent subtitles for ESL marine students! I always find quality material here. Looking forward to seeing your next videos!
CHIEF your video is very educational, specially for me, at sa mga nag aaral pa ng marine engineering, keep it up sir Good Job :)
Thanks!
Quite involved... thanks for the insight.
Sa wakas ito na hinihintay ko! Pawer!😀
+Life at Sea haha enjoy!
Nice video chief, ....thanks a lot
We love your vids! This one was my favorite. We watch every morning at breafeast:) and happen to live right next to Kalama WA. I would love to see a more detailed video about these engine rooms someday, how much fuel can your ship store, how much fuel do you burn a day? Engine RPM at full speed? Is the engine cooled by sea water or is it like a cars radiator? That engine is a 2 stroke? Very cool, thanks for the insight and sorry for the long ranting comment:)
Thanks. I'll try making an episode like that in the future.
Chief salamat sa knowledge 👍👍👍
That's cool thanks for sharing.
Good education👍
Very informative
Hi Chief MAKOi!! I am always following your vlogs. Thanks for the educational videos. It helps me a lot to have an overview of what is really out there. By the way sir I'm a cadet from University of the Visayas Maritime-Education. More power and be safe!😊😊😊
Keep it up Chief More Educational Vlogs 😊
Great and informative videos.
Thanks!
