I am a travelling service engineer that has been travelling around the world for 20 years now. As per 2023 I have visited over 350 ships and offshore installations in over 110 countries. I will continue to learn about youtube and documentary film production. So for you travel, tech and ship nerds, stay tuned for more videos of what you like to watch!!
I have a few ideas on other genres, and are also working on a couple of new channels for the future. These will be promoted here when I have done more work with them.
what's the major electricity consumer on a ferry like this? 2875 KVA is a giant amount of power (i'm assuming things are sized so that one generator can accommodate the whole load)
@@ericgarner2559 Hi. These ships sometimes carry many trailers with cooling generators. These require alot of power when run on electricity. I doubt one generator is enough to power the entire ship, but those two shaft generators together should do the job. So no auxilary generators need to be run when the ship is sailing.
Ah the happy times when bridge personnel just scanned the orizon, keeping a sharp watch; no blinking screens, no noisy radios, no nothing. You wanted to communicate? There was the Aldis lamp, Morse alphabet and procedures. There was the radio room, in another space, fortunately. No hypnotic devices to distract you from your main duty.
Thank you for the amazing insights. Which kind of vessel is this of? It could be a cruise ship but as far as I'm aware they nowadays usually use diesel-electric propulsion with azipods, no mechanical shafts anymore. So I guess it is more likely to be some kind of special freighter?
Hi. Yes this is a Ro Ro / passenger ferry. They often install a setup like this to keep the height of the engineroom low. But it is still a ferry, and not a cruise ship, so vibrations are not a big issue.
@@andresteinum I see. So now I also understand the (as far as I can evaluate it) comparably large amount of installed generator power. For a pure freighter you probably wouldn't need that much, but for passenger/ "hotel" service it is necessary. Was the whole ship made in Italy? For example at Fincantieri? Italian generators and also Italian-built engines. Could be a coincidence of course.
@@georgeswindoll9138 It is, but as most bigger companies they also have plants in other countries. And I saw the Italian plant as a reference on the typeplate. Look for example at 5:52.
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.
so do Hyundai ship engines wear out prematurely and the "vessels" they are installed in will have tons of electrical issues like their cars or did including MAN in the project fix that ?
Grab discharge is usual for bulk coal discharge. I worked in UK merchant navy back in 1980's and watched many thousands of tonnes of coal, grain, bauxite and phosphates loaded and discharged... Maximum discharge rate Isaw was a full 7,200MT of coal discharged in 6.5Hours. Grain is sometimes discharged using suction, just like a huge vacuum cleaner - some vids on youtube.
