Give me my Rockers walking 2 the beat!! @ please sir ! I want some more !!!.

Want to hear em.at Dead Slow ahead vs Full Astern @ Bow thrusters !!@ pleas Sir !!

tonskulus well yeah, it's the size of your average bathroom. so that's to be expected lol

Now I wonder when this was! Must have been a while ago.

@@jaspervanstratum I think around 1994

We use the inert gas system for inerting the cargo tanks. This way there is no explosive mixture of air on top of the cargo inside the cargo tanks. Against fire in the engine room we have an CO2 system. With this system we can fill the complete engine room with CO2.

+divisioneight Hydraulic oil and painted steel floors are very slippery, there may be some oil mist from tank breathers in the room. The slats give some grip.

They are as a result of the "Amoco Cadiz". Her steering gear failed and the leaking oil caused the steering gear room's floor to be coated with oil. As a result the engineers couldn't reach the steering gear and the ship ran aground off the French coast with a massive oil spill as a result. Since then the steering gears of all ships have to have steel gratings around them, or in this case wooden.

Well this is not a container ship so its not build for speed so a 6 cylinder is very common on ships of 180 m (Tanker/Bulk). The red 0 was a High Temp. Cooling water sensor that just broke. So there is no reading at that time. The Engine is running stable.

Yes, engines such as this(and this engine) are in fact reversible. Variable pitch props do exist, but are not as common.

Jasper van Stratum Engine Room too hot for you :-)

thank you old seamen from Finland

+cyrex686 It still need exhaust valves ;)

When fitted with an Exhaust valve. Then these engines are termed Uniflow it is all to promote efficient scavenging of burnt gasses.

vessels like these burn HFO or heavy fuel oil which needs to have its viscosity (pumpability) to be change-able, and steam heating is used for this. if heating is not supplied the fuel will not flow.

In case of an oil leakage from the steering gear, we need to be able to walk there to do repairs or do emergency steering.

It dosnt take alot of hands to run the engine dept with computers and such. Most of em spend their time in a little hutch closed off from the rest of the engine room monitoring screens... not what it used to be.

Cessna 182a This is not 100% true. On board we have 4 engineers and 3 ratings doing maintenance. This engine room is what they call "Unmanned", that means that it is allowed not to have someone to be in the ER all the time. This means that at night time there is no one, and that the duty engineer will receive the alarms in his cabin. They all work during day and are doing continuously maintenance on all the engines/pumps and other machinery. I dont see computers do any maintenance !!. The computers we have are there for the maintenance/planning programs. Maybe the Chief Engineers spends most time in the Engine Control Room yes, but he has a lot of paperwork to do. All the others are always working hard outside this Engine Control Room. I made the video at night time. I went down with the duty engineer who had to make his evening watch round. He does not like to be on camera though :)

So I assume most new vessels being built have unmanned engine rooms... Thats probably what most of em are since bridge control became a thing? Btw great video, sir.

Thanks to both of you for try and answer my question,now I know how is the engine room of this kind of ships I guess it's the same thing for the cruise ship,kind of reminds me of "Titanic" the movie while all the people the in cruise were having fun,drinks and why not "sex" Deep below the ship an army of workers kept the engine running.Both of you are right more "computers and high tech equipment" may require less workers,but all kind of mechanical devices need manually maintenance and even newest ship of all kind are not exception.

Jasper van Stratum I spoke to a guy at my gym who worked on a container ship and he said computer or no computer he saw some techs who could be relied upon to literally "hear" when something was not quite right within the rhythm of the machines that the computers would not be aware of!

The Pumpman was a crew member whose main function was to oversee the operation of the cargo pumps in oil tankers, and be very familiar with the pipework and associated valve systems to allow any of the pumps to deliver cargo from tanks to shore etc. They also had other duties when the ship was between ports and this additional work was usually controlled by the Chief Mate or Chief Engineer. A good pumpman was always an asset as they could be relied upon to operate the machinery in a professional and safe manner. With your qualifications I would think you could cope with the work, but have you not considered a post as a marine engineer? More challenging, but better pay etc!

Thanks for your info. very much appreciated. Can you recommend me any educational sites, and videos things like that sir. thanks

Sorry man, took this in 2009 just with a simple photo camera, no stabilization options back then.
