Excellent tour. I was engineer on container ships 30 years ago. Things have changed a lot and the scale of everything on this ship is so much bigger.

[@SeanLentze]

Yes, things have really changed a lot. Thanks for watching!

[@venkatarao1658]

I am an engineer but terribly afraid of local semi dry rivers also...just forget about high seas/oceans. Crossing/flying over oceans means complete submission. 😀😂😀😂😀😂😀😂😀😂😀😂😀

[@peterwoods5310]

Basically nothing changed much! Ex-VLCC engineer. Thanks for the fascinating video!

Nice video thanks for sharing very clean ship

Terrific, thank you!

I'm marine engineering student... your video are very helpful

[@AeeroXOG]

Love it ! Would love to see videos of daily engine room checking of gauges, valves, temperatures etc..

[@SeanLentze]

Thanks for the support! I'm planning to do a day in the life of a third engineer, I'm still whipping it up. Hope it will become whole soon!

[@sigthorsigurdsson8757]

Very nice engeenroom

Thanks mate!

Shout out sa engine cadet and oiler nyo...super linis ng ER.

[@cpm10v]

Who owns this ship? I noticed they like to paint a lot of equipment light green? Are these types of shops always this clean? Thanks for the cool videos.

[@SeanLentze]

MOL. Yes especially when it just came from the dock :)

[@dino8895]

It's a lot bigger than I expected. Will there be a part two?

[@SeanLentze]

Yes there will be a part two for the rest if the engine room platforms :)

Not much shown. Most probably a UMS round. New ship. Definitely. Enjoy as much as you can this contract.

[@erickmasias4980]

Wow so interesting and so beautiful, i study maritime engineer in a university and this type of videos is very important to show all the machinery there are inside in the engine room. what do you recomend when i state on board as a engine cadet? Regards from Peru

[@SeanLentze]

My recommendation is that to learn as much as possible and of course to have some fun :) Good luck with your career!

[@ivanfmartinezm]

Debes realizar todas las tareas asignadas por el 1er Mqta y el Jefe de Maquinas, esas actividades estan asignadas en el formato que te da tu universidad para ser llenado abordo y supervisado por los oficiales a cargo, lo primero que te asignan (tareas del barco) es seguir lineas del sistema de enfriamiento de agua de mar tu vas a levantar el plano y lo vas a exponer y luego vas a compararlo con el original del barco, igual para las lineas y tankes del sistema de combustible.

[@bradwendica5737]

You have not mention your rank,how many crew in the whole Engine Department,most important,because these machineries are nothing w/out the crews operating them.anyway thank you,I refresh my memory,I'm an oiler of more than 10 yrs and promoted later on as electrician in the cruise ship.and now a retired sailor,2012 when I retired.

[@SeanLentze]

I'm a third assistant engineer, and we have a total of 8 crew in our engine department - C/E, 1AE,2AE, 3AE(me), Fitter, two oilers and one wiper. Thank you for watching and congratulations on your retirement!

[@cambo2910]

I’m confused, what’s the boiler for if Diesel engine is the power unit.

[@vladimirgvozdenovic904]

Auxiliary Boiler is the steam generator. For discharging the vessel we use centrifugal pumps which are driven by steam turbines.

[@cambo2910]

@@vladimirgvozdenovic904 Vladimir why couldn’t the centrifugal pumps be electrically powered

[@vladimirgvozdenovic904]

@@cambo2910 Because you would need very big electric motors to power the pumps which consume a lot of electric power. Keep in mind that sometimes during discharging (if it is a fast discharge) you will run all four turbines ( 3 COPT + 1 TCPT) and on top of that usually one or both ballast pumps are running. For example, only to start one ballast pump you need to have approx. 700kw of available load in order to avoid preferential trip. So, if all the pumps were being driven by an electric motor, you would need 5 or even more Diesel Generators running in parralel just to maintain the power grid stable. Also, the rate of discharge is changing during the whole period, with steam turbines you can regulate the rpm's and increase or decrease the rate of dischargs, with electric motors you cannot.

[@cambo2910]

@@vladimirgvozdenovic904 thanks Vladimir.

[@bradwendica5737]

The purpose of a boiler is heating of fuel oil,once the main engine operated,it uses heavy fuel(hfo)because hfo more cheaper than diesel fuel,so a boiler is needed for heating.

[@cambo2910]

What’s the story on the waste oil.

[@SeanLentze]

Waste oil are contaminated oil residues or sludge from machineries which is unsuitable for service. It usually comes from purifiers, backwash filter drains, etc. Then, waste oil can be used as fuel to the burner of the incinerator.
