Engine crew works from 0600/0800 till 1700 in "normal" operation. Some vessels keep sunday's off. I used to work in Maersk Line. Outside "normal" working hours only duty engineer is likely to be in the engine room for rounds and taking care of equipment alarms. The machinery and alarm system is designed this way of operation.
Great video! I'm so overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the multiple engine rooms of this ship! How anyone could have put all of those components together to make a ship run is just mind boggling!! And keeping them running must be a monumental task!
What a beautiful clean engine room. I worked down the engine room too 30 yrs ago, out of Hong Kong and Australia. The technology has certainly changed a bit since then. Nice to see onboard a modern vessel, thanks for sharing that Bigfudge! Regards Tim
Its so clean and spacious....I would have expected something that looked more like a dungeon lol. really fascinating video! Thanks for taking the time to make this
Cleanest spaces I've ever seen in all my years of working as an Engineer in the Navy and Merchant Marine. The Wipers and Oilers must be working overtime.
The ships are pretty new. At the time this was posted this ship could only have been slightly over 3 years old at the most and 1.5 years at the newest.
To see a room as this is what I like to see!!!My dad was a draftsman for GE working with the steam turbines. I have worked on new techno machines to see all the under the deck workings is cool! Maybe not at first till it is run in and you get to know the sounds and feel of things.To me time would fly by since there is soooo much to over see!!! There must be a large crew to make sure she is running true. Just the electric panels when some thing bad to trouble shot . Thanks for showing this, some day I would like to see her in person! tanks.
Love the engineer's "booth". :-) The booth on the boat I retired from was only big enough for two people, if one sat on the filing cabinets. :-) Many thanks for the fine video.
If this is where you work, I am very jealous. The EEE's are incredible. Thank you for the effort that you and your crewmates put into tranporting the worlds random crap feom port to port.
good filming don't listin to the ones saying otherwise I love how he made little info boxes for everything I really helped me to understand all of the complex systems aboard the ship thanks for making the video
Wearing some heelys would be awesome down those long halls! (The shoes with the wheel in the heel) ..... it’s so overwhelming the size of that ship. So cool!
super cool video! thanks for posting. if you have a chance to make another, would love to have more of the item described. Lots of cool stuff in there! would love to see some of the spare parts too. Thanks so much for making this video!
I'm so glad I switched my skill sets towards construction,trades,automation,and engineering. If I'm not building something I'm fixing it. Welcome to the new world of automated shipping. The military seem to have more crews per ship then their civilian counterparts these days. I see private companies are really going all out on minimizing ship crew requirements for more profit returns.
Great video well done. Had no idea there was so much involved lol never have seen an engine room in a ship as I live about as far away from salt water as it is possible to get in NA. Thanks!
Now I realize why goods by sea are so expensive. I would love it if someone could put a dollar value on the equipment featured in this video. Great video. These types of clips are one of the values of the Internet.
Love love this virtual tour ☺️☺️☺️☺️ but could you do me a favour, could you possibly list off what some of the components were that we were seeing ????? I’m super interested in seeing that but also knowing what they all were for etc Many Thanks Art
Most real life industrial places are grimy. Some are quite clean but lubricants, dust, discolorations etc leave a patina. That ship looked like a new truck on the show floor. Utilitarian, capable and pretty damn clean.
Damn! That vessel looks like it just rolled off the Dealership showroom! 😁 Are these ships really built by human's on planet earth? I am just awestruck trying to imagine how something of this size and sophistication goes from a drawing room to real production! Amazing!
This guy should get an award for confused shakycam. What an amazing video this could have been if the camera had been in the hands of a competent photographer.
When planned maintenance really kicks in ,purifiers totally stripped things get a little more grubby that’s time to bail out. At the moment the machine spaces are amazing and free of old spares didn’t spot the chilled water fountain !!! My tinnitus has returned good luck lads
dear dave onan, the gear at the propeller shaft is a shaft generator.when I retired as chief engineer with P&O-Nedlloyd, this was standard on the fleet.one can run an alternator also as an electric motor, so I set myself a task to recoup waste energy from the main engine.when you set up a heat balance of a diesel engine, you notice that 30% of the input is wasted to the exhaust gases and the almost the same applies to the cooling water.so Maersk devised a system to recoup this waste by turning it into steam, which drives an alternator to feed the motor on the shaft.this had an enormous positive effect on the fuel consumption, but it made the installation a lot more complicated..
Pretty cool you have access to this room. Please do another vid where you move the camera sloooow and/or have a stabilizer on it. Give us a few seconds with no motion to look at each thing. Also maybe some text on the bottom describing the parts and what they do!
I want to know how much they pay a fully qualified maintenance tech w/ 20 years electrical. Looks like a job that I'd love. Great video man, thanks for sharing.
I count 5 engines (inc. the steam engine), but which one powers the propeller??, seems like the steam is it, or is it only a reserve in case main 1 or 2 fail?, or is it electrically driven; powered off any of them?
