Many of you seemed to liked the engine room tour I did of a 3000 HP tug. This week's video is of an Engine Room Tour of a 4200 HP Tugboat.

I love to see a clean well organized engine room!! Great tour. On the boat I worked on we had 2 16V 92 Detroit Diesels and that got the 92 foot catamaran to a cruising speed of 28KTS. They got us back and forth from KeyWest to Ft Myers or Naples FL everyday. I do miss working in that engine room. Have a great day!

That was great Tim, thank you !!! Love seeing the diesel engines and all the support equipment engineered in to make them last many decades. Makes sense to have the winch mid deck like that, similar to how a pickup truck will pull better with a gooseneck/5th wheel hitch vs a "bumper pull" tow hitch. Be safe, stay healthy. Im healthy but I've canceled my upcoming cruise out of NYC due to Coronavirus and/or the fear of possibly being quarantined someplace against my will, should things turn bad.

Not sure if anyone has answered yet but a "suitcase" drum is the same as an "anchor" drum. They're used for running anchors on offshore Derek barges, lay barges, handling anchors for dive boats ECT. It's a smaller wire that connects to the larger anchor wire. Allowing you to pull it on deck and shackle in the main pinet wire.

It's not as easy to explain as it would be why port is on the left and starboard (steeringboard) on the right. But when running anchors the bouy has to be decked and secured it is often times refered to the suitcase wire of the buoy. One winch grabs the bouy the other, the anchor. Anchor drum....suitcase drum

The description could say the following:- The tug's towing gear consists of an Intercon, double drum, DD-175, towing the main winch. Outfitted with 2,000(ft) of 2.25(in) diameter, stainless steel, towing wire. The "suitcase" drum is equipped with 1000(ft) of 1.25(in) towing wire. ( note suitcase drum smaller in size and not always a permanent one) Now about the suitcase drum, this is normally smaller and in some tugboats, it is an additional item that could be taken off and packed up to install at another location on a different tug. The origin term comes from musicians playing drums which needed to be transportable to do a few shows at different locations on the same night and perhaps the drums and foldable stands were a little smaller which could be packed up in a small suitcase. The following video of a 'Suitcase Drum portable kit' may give an idea of the relation of the roundness of a tug's towing drum to that of a musician smaller playing the portable percussion drum/set. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6pom8eH3LnJkpc.html

From Pacific Maritime Magazine: The Suitcase Drum packs 150 feet of 1-inch diameter wire rope at the ready for making up tows. It's 28,150 lbs. line pull at 81 feet per minute speed allows the rope to be quickly tensioned once the line is made fast on the tow. The Suitcase Drum functions best with towing alongside making best use of the tugs' ASD's to control tows in heavily-trafficked restricted waters.
@TimBatSea4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching and looking this up, although I believe what you have found is the specs on a suitcase drum on a particular boat. Since posting that video, I have learned that the name comes from the gulf of Mexico where it was common to need an extra winch for certain jobs (anchor handling). But later other boats wanted a second winch and the suitcase was a second winch that could be installed on whichever boat needed it. Like a suitcase.

Nice engine room, Tim... The big drum wire is about the size of the drag cable on the Lima 2400 Draglines I ran in the rock quarries in Miami I the early 1970’s... BTW, I never Thought about the turning problem when turning IF the drum is farther aft 😱😳😎👍🤷🏻♂️

That engine room is super clean and organized! Love it! I learned so much... winch placement in relation to rudder, Texas bars and donuts, safety chains... Great stuff! Question: The John Deere winch motor... does that power a hydraulic pump which in turn operates the tow winch or is it an electrically powered winch motor? Also, the company you work for... I see their tugs on the Hudson River often. But you're in Florida... This company, are they all up and down the east coast?
@TimBatSea4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. The winch is not electric. The one on my usual boat is hydraulic. The ones on the bigger boats have a transmission and a super big chain that goes up to the winch on deck. And yes, the unnamed company I work for has boats on the East coast, gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and the west Coast. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing if you haven't already.

Another great video, Tim! Thanks!!! Love hearing the details on the winch setup. One question: how is the winch locked down once the tow cable is fully payed out? Is there some kind of braking system or lock mechanism? Finally, i want to second all the positive comments about your demeanor. I come to your channel to sponge up all the fascinating technical details, but i stay here and enjoy it all the more because of your calm and positive approach. Keep up the great work!!!

Oh shoot! You are correct! I now see what you are talking about and missed answering the question. I'm very sorry. Ok... So the winches (on the 3000s and 4200s) have a huge brake band that goes around the diameter of the winch drum. Both can be "dogged down" too but that is rarely done except in very bad weather.

Great videos allways.. just block the complaint fella's.. as far as a SUIT CASE WINCH..if i recall correctly. It was originally an " extra " winch that could be moved from vessel to vessel as need. Not entirely sure where it came from but most likely Europe.. just a guess on that though. Not even sure this terminology applies today at all...lol

Thank you for watching. There are at least two reasons why filming what you ask will be difficult. The camera never shows the waves as they are and during tough times, videoing is very low on my priority list. Then there is the issue that employers might not like emoloyees posting less than positive and high drama on social media. But I guess the easiest thing to say is that we don't see alot of bad or interesting weather because safety of life and cargo we move.
