An empty and quiet engine room makes me feel strange. An engineer can understand what I mean... Thanks for the video.

Remember almost losing a finger when a main bearing jack bolt slipped when lifting it out to remove the cap for survey. Think the bolts were ca. 90kg each. Used a chain block to lift them after that...fuel injectors are big lumps as well. Best engines of that era imo, way more solid than the later stuff...despite the scavenges!! Thanks for posting.

I worked on a 9RD90 back in '83. Scavenge cleans and horrendous reversing gear. Never forget it!

My grandfather did his apprenticeship with Sulzer in Winterthur, CH the end of the 19th century. I really enjoyed this video. Nice to see and hear the stack at the end.

Gives a whole new meaning to ,,let's do an oil and filter change..

so that's an "antique" eh . it's a few months older than me . thanks , man :-)

Lean & green, quite the machine 👏🏼

The engine room is a soothing place. No radio or microwave signals. Producing a calming effect. Like being deep in a cave.

9:31 can see the fuel pump blocks. i remember taking a Sulzer class many years ago and learned how to carry out fuel pump timing on a single-cylinder RND simulator. When the opportunity came to do it in the "real world", it wasn't so nice, cool, or clean. lol

Amazing machinery ❤

At 5:13 we're looking at a spare piston skirt if I'm not mistaken. Nice Video!

It reminds me of my very first ship, MV Rosie D, built by Namura Shipbuilding of Japan. 7RND68 Mitsubishi Sulzer 11,550 bhp at 150 rpm IIRC. Yanmar gen-sets. That ship was built to a much cheaper specification than this vessel, but it was still very well built and all the machinery was sturdy.

Il motore principale é un diesel 2 tempi a lavaggio trasversale. Non ha nessuna valvola in testa. Il pistone ha il mantello molto lungo proprio perché apre e chiude le luci di ammissione e scarico,un autentico motore 2 tempi. Fantastico pezzo di storia, tutto meccanico. 😊😊😊👏👏👏

Looks like the ECR has been retrofitted in recent times, didn't have flat screens or those controls back in the day. Shame as it was great fun with the old manual controls seeing who could use the least air per start 😊

I probably could work in that engine room within a few days of orientation. I worked with that engine and tools. One small remark about this engine: it is not completely valveless. There are banks of valve boxes (plate valves) between the scavenge air box and the cylinder intake manifold. At first I had a nice fuzzy nostalgia feeling until I remembered the absolute horror of the re-occurring cleaning of that air box and those valves. We had to save fuel and therefore had to run that engine too slow. In combination with the very dirty fuel we had to clean the scavenger air box and those valves every few weeks. It was horrible. And we were slow: one time we did 5 weeks from LA to South Korea. No more fresh vegetables, the last days we had only rice, canned green beans and home grown bean sprouts (Taugé). He had enough for the crossing, but after the crossing we had to go at anchor at a place we could not see the shore. No customs, no supply and not allowed to go ashore. It took a couple of days before we were allowed to anchor in the river delta and every thing became normal again.

My first vessel wayback 1996 was powered by Hitachi sulzer RND model

How about a 1934 built Berminster & Wane double acting top and bottom exhaust pistons lay shaft driven roots blower that had been given some rough treatment during WW II. This was my first ship in 1956 as a junior engineer and introduced me to scavenge fires and big hammer maintenance and all on marine gas oil! MWD.

I was on a real Antique. 1939 Tug all DC. Diesel electric drive. Had 4 V12 supercharged 2 cycle diesels.

Did Not know DAIHATSU made ship engines, we were on a ship named PACAFIC NOMAD, being used as a dive boat in FIJI in 1990 it had a HYUNDAI Diesel engine, with air start, I looked it up, found it’s just rusting away, tied up somewhere in FIJI, CApt APATE, was a really nice man, I used to go to the wheelhouse nightly with crew drinking KAVA, NICE CREW,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You can get another 20 years from this beauty easily. Don't send it to Pakistan yet.

Forgot something: the usual way to store a spare turbocharger rotor on a ship is to suspend it vertically, thus preventing it from bending by its own weight.

I do have a experience with 6RND76/MV LIMESTONE II (Ex. KCL Bardu).

Watched with Digifunk music on loop :))))

Thanks, this ship is still in service?

Ok cool.... Thats not running, but nice to see a close up... Where is the main engine..? Chief Makoi would kick your ass.. !! 😂 Thanks for the clip anyway 😊

10:13 does that electric fan run to get it started since it’s like a 2 stroke or can it scavenge enough to get it started?

I am a bit confused by the picture of the upper deck of the ship. It looks enormous but has not the layout of an ocean going vessel. Is it a ship build for the Great Lakes?

Witch one is this the Old Nedlloyd Rosario or the Nedlloyd Rouen i saild both of them good ships only very noisy in the accomodation If she was a long side in the harbor and the ramp was down! On the Nedlloyd Rosario i was on board when she sailed between Europe - North America en the Nedlloyd Rouen on the New sealand - Asia route.

What kind of ship? How many tons?

What vessel is this?

Sulzer rta

Reed valves....

Antique? 😂😢
