Is the Rotterdam shaft driven or azipods?

Jesus, those chillers must have been 1000 tons each...maybe 1500. Love to know

How the hell is everything so clean?

from a Canoe to this Giant in 5000 yrs, boggles the mind.

I was thinking okay claustrophobia would be on my mind walking around some parts of this deck. What do you do with the sewage? Are 6 engines really necessary? As big as this engine is can it run two power plants simultaneously? What is a sea chest? So many questions. Thanks this was fun.

Very detailed video, excellent work. I recently filmed the Nieuw Statendam engineering areas and the layout was very different; is this the previous Rotterdam from 1997?

Never walk through a watertight door that isn't fully open.

Bedankt Zak Barrett voor de tour, kwam net van de cruise, waar ik graag zelf wilde zien op de Rotterdam, volgens de 1 stuurman was dat niet mogelijk.

Upper deck Open to sky

I have been working in a hotel in the maintenance field for four years, and when I enter the mechanical room, I feel nervous😂

Bela casa se máquinas.. Poa. Rs. 🇧🇷

Why you stopped your content ? So sad

Amazing!

Gotta be the smatest people in the world that engine room out. As clean as it is you'd expect to se an army of cadets cleaning that thing 24/7.

Lots of evaporation ability.

Pas geleden nog een cruise naar Noorwegen me mogen maken er mee mooi schip.

is your third barrel on the AC chillers for ocean water recovery or condenser loop?

Any control room ?? 😀😀😀

Having worked in a engine room on a Navy ship. This is NICE!!! VERY clean engine room you guys have. I actually would like working down here. And I'm, qell my knees love seeing those watertight doors from space to space. No need climbing 10 stairs to go to the other space for a part. Nice video, stay safe out there.

Thank zack for this video. Its make recall our memories about ms rotterdam the Greatest cruise ship ever and nice crew engine dept. I hope u already be enginer now.

Isso é incrível, amo demais esses navios gigantes! ❤

Did ya change the bushings out? For the subframe

Astounding engineering in there!

At the beginning, down the stairs, opening the door, to the right of the door is the Poorest looking weld i have ever seen on a ship. If the vessel is held together by these it will come to pieces in a storm

Thankyou for no music!

Oh, shit. Maybe I've misunderstood what is doing what. Or not. I'm lost. I'd possibly be bad luck to have aboard. It amazes me that someone designs and makes all that, and in not-so-many years, it gets driven full-ahead onto some beach in Bangladesh or India, and the gas torches start to cut it to pieces before it's even stopped moving. Quite sad, really. Mind you, keeping all that running would be a mission, so I guess it has a limited economical life. Just seems a waste. My compliments to the cleaners. It's beautiful. And those are some serious compressors!

PS: I'm another Kiwi, if that helps... Weird accent, so they say.

Surely those electric motors run through some sort of reduction gearing, because those shafts are spinning mighty fast. Swinging a large screw at those revs would be counterproductive? it all seems to be too complex to be reliable. And awfully hard to fix if something fails - especially in an emergency... And can those watertight doors be opened and closed manually? The diesels appear to be turning at an ideal prop speed. How much loss is there in that system??? Trust me, I'm ignorant, but instinct tells me that this is a bit too complicated to be logical, if that makes sense. I guess my real question is: why not run the screws directly off the engines? I await an education. Cheers.

Like doom....can't find the weapon selection buttons..!!

my guess is as this. Chines buildings. As usual crowded. Hard to remove the exhaust cover on the turbine oil cover. Different level in the engine compartment. Hard to move around heavy objects. Saw that the Sulzer rotating pistons where stored where the propeller shaft electric motors where placed. I know how it is to work on Chinese ships. Take care guys. Thanks for the video though. Greetings Peder

I got out of the Navy in May 1976 but from watching this video I can still recall the smell of steel from living on a ship, it's a smell you never forget.

Is this ship set up with Electrically Driven Variable Pitch Propellers?? Is that why there is so much High Voltage Generator Power?? 11,000K.V. How Many K. W.?? Do these engines run on #2 or #6 Fuel Oil??

I Have been a Industrial/ Marine Engine Mechanic for thirty years, eight of those in the oil industry in the gulf of Mexico working on supply vessels Tug boats, pipeline/ Derrick Barges, and Petroleum Platforms, only a little on merchant marine Vessels. They do have a lot of room, and they are very clean!!

Is that Electrical Generators driven off the propulsion shafts??

4:55 that's where the alien comes...

It always impresses me how clean and orderly the inside of the ships are, all ,kinds, cargo and passenger ship below decks! Even old ships before they are scrap[ed are looking good inside! That's what ship shape means!

Excellent, amazing place

C est quoi comme métier se qui s occupe dès machines

I was marine engineering back in 1960s, I am amazed at how much things have changed, thankfully and thank you for your brilliant video you be safe and have a good trip.

I could never have imagined the quantity and complexity of this area. I must ask, where are all the people?

Well why not . Kiwi Accents are so easy to make Fun of . Eh , Bru . 'Stayan talkin' here , Cobber . I am an old Navy Sailor , engineering , and I am astonished how CLEAN the spaces are . Hardly a leak to be seen . A Credit to you Guys .

Belíssimas imagens , ótimo vídeo !!! se puder passa aqui no canal também grande abraço - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil

Awesome content!! Keep up the good work

Can they seal-off certain areas in the event of a hull breech? (I apologize if the terminology is incorrect)

Thank you for that really impressive " downtown sightseeing tour ". I´m completely lost. Need a GPS ! So clean and spiffy. Far better than many restaurants. Kiwi's are well known for their good sense of humor, hence your pal teasing you. No i can imagine nightmare in heavy storm, with ship rolling 20-25 degrees from side to side, carrying that torch on wheels with all those stairs for emergency repair. Imagine the funny joke of being there with someone shutting off lightings (even if they have emergency ones. Hard to imagine so much machinery going for its last voyage to meet the torch. Really impressive. So much weight and things that can so easily being shake by the sea. Congrats to all these unknoxn sailors that bring us our stuff. Ah the romance of the sea. Someone unfamiliar asking to a freshly retired sailor that passed 30 years in engineroom. " your so lucky, you have seen so many countries in your lifetime..." and sailor answering " ya, i´ve seen so many walls, wash and paint so many times, and fix and repair. That´s all i´ve seen "....

I am both somewhat jealous of and impressed by the spacious engine rooms civil ships of this size offer, remembering "my" ship, one of the older German Navy frigates. During my first weeks on this ship, I literally greeted every single valve with my head - which might be not the best way to memorize them - and I was still lucky because of my rather small and slim body shape. Awesome insights, thank you very much!

I served my apprenticeship as a marine engineer in the navy followed by continuous sea-time until I left on my 30th birthday. I was always steam ships and I am a bit envious of the amount of space available to work in on merchant ships, and how much easier it is to keep them clean! I have enjoyed the video, thanks.

I saw a chiller in the air conditioner room.Chiller is a fountain of problems ( i worked with some). Is the same for you?

These would be good videos if you explained what things are and what they do. number of engines, number of cylinders, power output of each unit etc etc. otherwise its just a load of electric motors and pipes.

The tail end of that generator seems massive! I know that they're 12MW, I suppose I just thought that at 6600v they would be much smaller. I remember being confused about the baby alternator on a 3516 until I realized it was 4160 and not 480
