Excellent video, yes, but the background music was a bit overpowering. You don't need it, and it took away from the video IMHO. Glad to see that in recent videos, this channel does not have that background music - that is more foreground then it is background. All you need to hear, are the lovely engine room sounds in a video like this. ;)

As an ex-Marine Engineer starting as a cadet and all the way up to 1st Class Certificate and 2nd Engineering Officer before coming ashore; I enjoyed the memories this video brought back. Of all the careers (two lol) I had before retiring, my seagoing one is the one I miss most. The first indication of how well run a vessel is; is the cleanliness; and this engineroom shines!

@@ChiefMAKOi Chief Makoi; I always wondered this while looking at the engine compartments of container ships, and I think I just came to a realization: Are the engine rooms painted all white so that you can see a leak quicker?

We had a large crew in our "M" Division on board. We were on an old 1939 cargo ship that was converted to a repair ship. We had 450 psi super heat steam @ 859* F and a geared turbine set with a single screw. I was a throttle man. So there was a lot of busy work for us. Our engine and boiler room was in the same space. We kept the whole area cleaned and painted as nicely as yours was. I only saw 6 or so men in your control room. Were there more than that? I served on that ship in 1963-1965.

We had 4-5 men on 4 hour on and 8 hour off watches 24/7 at sea. and 2 on watch 24/7 in port. Plus the boiler tenders had 4-6 on watch at sea and 1-2 on watch in port plus an electricians Mate monitoring our main electrical board. As a repair ship we had two boilers, and three steam turbo generators that were 1000 volt D.C. and 1300 amps each, and at least one was lit off in port 24/7. All three were lit off at sea. We had 2 triple effect distillation units in a separate compartment with two men on watch and we could make 72,000 gallons of potable or boiler water every 24 hours. Our flank speed was 23 knots. Our best speed with regard to fuel consumption was 15 knots . There were also other electrical generators in other compartments for A.C. power. We had repair shops to repair almost anything that didn't require dry docking, plus an optical lab, and a dentist and Medical Doctor. on board with a 10 bed hospital. I believe there were 350-500 men on board at any time....the engineer spaces weren't Air conditioned and in August of 1964 in the South China sea, the ambient temperature on deck was 110* F. In the engine room the temperature was 120 to 140 degrees "F" My pay rate was $120 per/Month. It was one of the best times of my life as a 19 year old kid.

Hi Chief, Please let me ask a noob question. I am not a marine engineer, just a machinery enthusiast with some knowledge from the Neptune ER simulator :) The ship is at sea speed, so the beefy SW, LTFW and main LO pumps are running on top of the rest of ME aux machinery and general baseline loads. Meanwhile a single DG is covering all that at third of its full capacity and I did not see shaft generator. I was thinking cargo ships need at least 2 gensets running when the ME is ready or is running. Maybe bulk carriers have smaller SW and LTFW pumps than the VLCC simulated in the Neptune? Anyway, I highly appreciate your vids, its so satisfying to see real machinery and highly skilled marine engineers keeping them running.
