A day in the life of a Marine Engineer onboard 366 meter vessel "OOCL Brussels". In this episode we follow Alan who is the 4th engineer in charge of maintenance of various primary and auxiliary engines. You will get a glimpse into what life and what work is happening onboard a mega ship of this size. The Engine Room is the heart of the vessel in which it propels the ship and powers all equipment's onboard. Marine engineers are a critical part of the ship's operations as well as upkeep of all machineries.

I was a marine engineer before. Work on chemical tanker and offshore vessel. This video just bring back memories of those old days . It was a nice experience even the job was very tough. Not many people able to withstand the stress, depression, heat, loneliness onboard the vessel. Plus missing so many memorable memories in life. My father, grandmothers all passed away when I was onboard ship. No chance to see them before their funeral

The most interesting thing about seafaring to me is the fact that work is home. You can slack off all you want during breaks but when it's time to work, you work attentively and meticulously since you are literally servicing your temporary home. A job well done guarantees another peaceful night aboard your shared little home at sea.

@vladimirgvozdenovic904 3 года назад

Speaking as a third engineer which works on the vlcc tankers, i can say that the work is fast paced although sometimes it takes even months to reach the loading/discharge ports. The machinery is working continuously for very long periods, almost all pumps, fuel and lube oil purifiers are in pairs (one for running and other as standby). It is very very hot, depending the area where you are (Persian Gulf area during august engine room.tempereture is well above 55 celsius degrees) Regarding the checks, you just monitor the tempretures, oil levels, pressure gauges, check for loose objects, check for any abnormalities such as leaks, vibration,noises. Most of the important machinery is main engine (big 2 stroke engines-piston diameter is 800mm), diesel generators, some ships have turbo generators to produce electricity, boiler as an steam generator, many types of pumps (gear, centrifugal, ejector, screw), purifiers for fuel and lube oil, fresh water generator ( we make fresh water from sea water by boiling it under vacuum) and rudder. Its pretty much easy but sometimes can be very difficult when some problem occur (mostly electrical/electronical problems occur since it has low resistance to heat).

Interesting to see how things have changed and what hasn’t changed since I was a marine engineer 50 years ago. Surprised you still have to go around the engine room taking readings. Accommodation much better. We didn’t have to wash our dishes. We had to wear our uniform when eating in the dining room after work. The one thing which has changed for the better is not having to work watches, 12/4, 4/8, 8/12. The engine room manned 24/4. I never got used to trying to sleep for 4 hours and spent most trips derived of sleep. Thanks for the video and hope you get to be a chief engineer.

I retired many years ago but that took me back to 1975 when I was 4th engineer on ship with a similar layout out to yours. It was one of the first generation unmanned engine rooms. Your working day was similar to mine. I didn't take kindly to being the duty engineer. There was rarely a night without an alarm. Worst offender was the purifier room. When they went through a clean cycle they didn't seal and that was an alarm. Good video and glad that you omitted the engine room noise. Made the video so much better to watch. Well done.

@sudhindrakopalle7071 3 года назад

What a fascinating insight into the life of a marine engineer. Sea life is a bit like life in the forces, people outside rarely know what goes on inside. The life does seem quite tough and monotonous, not to mention the fact that they are at sea for long periods. Back when I was working for a bank nearly 20 years back, I remember the first engineers used to take home cheques of $5k, huge money then and I guess they are super well paid even today.

@jackminneboo7707 3 года назад

Was a ship's engineer from 1972 until 1998, and that was quite a difference!! I sailed on deepsea tugboats/salvage tugs. They were a lot smaller, and in the beginning, all actions of the main engine were ordered by telegraph and executed manually by the engineers of the watch, only later came the bridge controlled engines. A very small cabin was shared with the apprentice mate, 3 engineers, 2 apprentices, and a greaser in a regular shift 4 on 8 off, NO unmanned ER!

This was interesting to me because I went to sea as an engineer in 1969, leaving as Chief Engineer in 1986. What's shown in the vid to a certain extent is alien to my life at sea, though the engineroom is pretty much the same. In my day UMS was in its infancy and we all preferred watch keeping to day work. My company also had uniforms, which we were obliged to wear outside our cabins - kept your shore going gear in good condition! There was no morning meeting or toolbox talk - there were not that many of us and we knew what we were doing. Thanks for the vid of what it's like at sea these days!

My mom worked as a nurse on the evening shift in a hospital and this routine really reminds me of her job: the neons, regular checks, safety equipment everywhere, special doors to unknown machines, hard floors, equipment and this mix between comradeship and solitude. It’s not a “cool” work environment that makes you believe you have perks, but rather a space built around duty and security. There’s a hum to hospitals that sound like that background noise on your ship, enveloping.

You ensure all equipment safe and running well by measure all data machine, visual inspect check any abnormality such noisy, oil leakages and many sign that is become potential failure to heart of your ship. As an engineer i reliaze that every possibility can be occur as quickly, by hours, minute or second into your engine that can be failure in operating. I hope some day you will be a chief engineer as soon and have shipment workshop at the land after you retired. Keep spirit Jeff ! Cheers from Indonesia

I'm an electrician who would love to shadow these guys at work if I ever had the chance. The symbiotic relationship at sea between the deck, engine, and galley/cooks is so beautiful. Without a running engine, the ship can't be navigated. Without safe navigation, the ship can cause harm to all on board. And without delicious and nutritious, presentable food, all on board can't work to their highest ability.
