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!
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.
@@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... 👏👏
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? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xiJkLIEQYVI.htmlm20s And at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xiJkLIEQYVI.htmlm40s we're looking at the tiller head? Awesome tour! Thanks so much, even though it was almost 4 years ago.
