I love how the sign under the E-Stop, from what I can see, says, "Noooo Stop!" oh, not exactly...but close enough.

Very nice, big, clean engine room. More like a ship than the tugs I've been working on

Awesome video man, that's an impressive engine room damn!

Wow, even the diesel generator sets sounds amazing.

That was really cool. Takes a lot to get one of those boats going. I wont complain about starting my car up in cold weather anymore lol

Nice to hear the genset's turbo reacting to load changes!

Reminds me of me being on board a small military ship as a technical crew. The process of starting up the generators and main engines are really similar.

Cleanest Tug Boat Engine room I've ever seen

why I like watching big engines start in youtube?, I don't know. But I think your video is one of the coolest starts around

The strange sound is that of the generator kicking up juice,this camera detects the noise . Same thing can happen with older car engines,when the alternator is turning. Nice ABC start,love these start ups.

By the looks of it, the small red things between the main engines are the auxiliary power generation. Usually you will always have one of these running. If these fail an emergency generator will kick in with in 15 seconds. The emergency generator must have two means of starting (by battery, by hydrualic, by crank handle, by compressed air for four examples). Also you may have a small crank start diesel air compressor which will allow you to start your generators in the pitch black.

Yeah, i'm interested in these kind of things. It's not because i'm the captain that i'm not allowed to start the engines :) But eventually the engineer needs to be present at all times to keep everything going while sailing.

Nice engineroom, clean and bright. Good video too, cool to see how things are done on the other side of the pond. :)

i love how you can hear the strain on the generator

That's the best video I've seen on KZfaq yet!

Great video, very informative. Would love to see more video of this boat. Thanks + well done.

Estupendo motor. Muchas gracias.

I am a simple kid , I see nice big turbo and hear that turbo spool up sound I give like to that video!!!!

This video's so good, this is probably my 15th time watching.

prachtig gefilmd en de uitleg erbij,klasse

Tractor Tug engineer ...Coooool !!! Love those big ones... High power/Low rpm . Great Videos.....I am subbin ...THANKS from a cannuck...stay afloat !

@goodgodzilla : hehe thanks :) Is the sound also messed up for you? I don't know why that happend. The original file does not have it. Only on youtube the sound got messed up

@goodgodzilla : The distortion starts at 43sec when i start the generator. The oginal video doesnt have that :)

That's one clean engine room! I have to use all of them switches/nobs just to fire up my go-kart. I don't like simple things I guess. . . :)

Thank you for sharing. This is a great practical video.

She's called "Solskjel" - a Norwegian car ferry. She was built with a beautiful-sounding MWM 6-cylinder,

Super vidéo de technicien. J'adore.

do a load test on the Scania generators

Scania diesels on the generator sets? Nice sounding generators and main engine.

SCANIA POWER! :) Thank you for sharing this.

Very clean and well lit.

thanks for the great video

Low air pressue. These engines use allot of air to start and when the air pressure goes below a surten number the alarm will sound.

Great video! Thanks!

The Tugboat for it's size is the most powerful craft afloat and the Star Tugs are the power behind the docks and water ways that make up the Bigg City Port. This is tugs.

@Vidsandso : Depends on the situation. Because the engine is starting at low rpm the oil pressure is not high enough in the beginning and this will result in "low oil pressure" alarm. As soon as the normal rpm is reached the pressure is normall.

Thanks for this videos. Can you tell me what are the valves at 1:23 and 2:07 used for?

Thanks for upload !!! :)))

No idea to be honest. The CC = 127liter or 7750 Cubic Inch

Hi, to shut the engines down is only 1 press needed on the "stop" button :)

At the back of the engine room, what are those 2 big blue things? Also, where the generator start switch (box or panel) is, is that red thing beneath it the generator for the electricity for when the motor is on?😐

nice engine room

is there no need to let the engines warm up first?

the second start up sounds like a class 60 diesel locomotive

how to download that video with the (Flying captions)?

Connection on the shore.

Nice Engine Vessel🙂

why does the fire alarm go off?

I've got to assume before you took this video, you checked the oil levels in the generator and main engines first. Right?

30 bar is the pressure of air. Thats 435 psi of pressure, approximetely 15 times higher pressure then a car tyre. You need a lot of air pressure to push the pistons of the engine fast enough to make it turn and create compression for combustion.

amigo perdon por la pregunta pero que es la funcion de todos esos generadores de alguna empresa o algo asi?

What was the first thing started up? The genset? Looks like a cummins 6bt for the genset in the middle there.

What are the Orange things on the floor? Engines?

Imagine stalling that at the lights!

Those are Alco based engines I am sure. Listen to an old Alco locomotive and it sounds the same. Also Alco used the single cylinder head setup on all of their engines. The 251 was nearly bullet proof and very easy to repair if it needed it. Alco licensed it engines for use in many applications. Montreal Locomotive Works owned all of Alco's patents after Alco quit the US. It is rumored that Alco engines are being produced in the Us again for use in gensets, tugboats and even locomotives.

what was that alarm going off after you started the port engine?

hello buddy.. thats awesome how you start the tug boat,! but now do you have to do all that to shut the tug down? thanks and cheers for sharing :)

Yeah, max rpm is 1000 and lowest (to start them) is 500rpm. Im not the enginneer on board but the captain :) But i love to start those engines from time to time :)

Ik zou het heel leuk vinden om hier meer van te zien! Ook routine MK procedures, of het starten van een seperator!

This is a tug boat engine room? Yikes! I didn't know they this much power plant on board. Impressive.

Can you say what you did there lot of valves and buttons there... Are they started with air?

Hi, I'm seventeen and want to buy a tugboat someday: but what do I do to get the appropriate experience? The closest experience I have to this is with towing/transporting cars and maintaining the trucks lol

good job

Sukses Selalu Buat Pelaut Kita

Fantastic Video! if you get a change could you show a shut down procedure? Cheers angamoos

Thanks mate ;)

What is "30-bar?"

cool video

Where do you get the power to run the cooling pump, lights and other equipment when the generator and engines are off?

This would be so much fun.. It would be just like when we were kids, pretending to start rocket ships!

Is that air he turns on before starting each engine? How are they started also just start motor?

You guys must get one hell of a call out time for you to be on shore power.

Throeyset, what is the name of your ship? You will like the ABC's, they are real deep bass like thumping sound!

How much torque?

Yep off course. I would never do this without protection.

Can we see the tug please!?

Ik ben blij met het geluid van deze twee ABC. Wat als beoordeling kilowattage en toerentalbereik. Zijn deze motoren omkeerbaar of heeft deze boot reversable propellers? Ik zou het leuk vinden om haar te bezoeken en natuurlijk, en zie benedendeks machinekamer uit de eerste hand.

Son los motores de un remolcador

Plz show me has diesel pump injection vedio

Nice, i bet it's of the scale.

well I guess I should have read the descripton.... lol still would like to know a little about the gearboxes

Very nice. But maybe some subtitles of the process would top it off

There are subs included :) Maybe you have turned them off.....

Wow mantab

V12?.

Itu mesin kapal ya?

That is indeed the Genset, but it's a Scania.

That's clipping on the mic ;) Too loud for the mic^^ How cool is that, the captain starts the engines himself...! :D Nice...^^

Is dit een Nederlandse boot? Is this a Dutch boat? In Rotterdam?

I hope you had hearing protection.

OH...MY BAD...I assumed....pologize Capn.! Are you the cook too ? (Joke) ! Can I get a job scrubbin the deck ,not that it needs it...very clean ship you have there ! I am a Mariner at heart and will work for food ! ha ha ...seriously though...Nice ship !!!

very clean and modern engine room!, could you tell me the specs on the mains and gearboxes? figured probably 1500-2000 hp each, on the inland rivers here in the us, we are still using alco diesel engines, makes our engine room look pathetic after seeing yours... you can check out my vid if ya get a chance...

That's what she said

Gosh dang they were takin her to the danger zone... 900 rpms

Good 👍

@Vidsandso : Done :-)

Clean engine room, because a good oiler. Hahahaha.. Just kidding man. Its great!!

สตาร์ทเจนปั่นไฟ จ่ายโหลด เพื่อที่จะสตารฺ์ทเครื่องจักรใหญ่

cool

Das kool.
