As someone who lives in Indiana, is fascinated with the great lake freighters, use to work for a CAT dealer as a power systems tech, and now works for a Cogeneration (CHP) landfill gas generator facility, this is right up my ally.

All the people have to be very technical and knowledgeable. These are not simple toys. They are mechanical monsters.

Interesting that a ship of this size has controllable pitch props. Also interesting that ballasting is done from the engine room and not the bridge or deck office.

Wonder how they measure turbo RPM on the mains? I'm sure an algorithm can calculate it, but I guess they could have a water cooled hall effect.

Sorry, but the dialog is useless to me. I can't understand anything said because of the noise.

That was disappointing. I expected to see the engine. All I saw was some itsy bitsy generators and control panels.
