Konstantin you are just too good. I worked on tankers for 20 years and I would say it is good knowledge to any tanker hand. Great job. God bless you.

[@Asd-kn5yg]

Hi Chief, very good explanation ! One question, with what are you filming this video ? Isn`t it dangerous and forbidden to film on open deck/pump room or the device its intrinsically safe ?

[@CaptainKG]

Hello, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I use private Intrinsically Safe HD Camera for my videos. I don't like to make an advertisement for the brand which I used, because I bought it by my own money. You can use Google search. The price of mine camera is over 3000 USD...!

[@Whisperin100]

Chief this bottom lever suction flaps which you operated on the radio for ventilation which are used for emergency use , can you explain when we use them exactly , in case of flooding we open them ?

[@CaptainKG]

Yes collegue, in case of flooding need to open upper ventilation flaps

[@christosdorotheou4230]

Dear Konstantin, in case of viscous crude oil , have you ever used steam to supply your centrofugal pumps?

[@CaptainKG]

Dear Christos, on crude oil tankers centrifugal pumps are always steam driven. In case of transportation high viscous crude oil it should be heated by heating coils of all cargo tanks. But on VLCC's heating coils are equiped only in Slop tanks. That's why VLCC transports cargo which is not to be heated.

[@user-to5ff2kf3g]

Если не трудно, скиньте ещё ссылки на подобные видеокурсы или на учебную литературу по паровым грузовым насосам.

[@CaptainKG]

By google in the open source you could find "CRUDE OIL TANKER BASICS" written by Captain Paul Armitage I think that every tankerman who works on crude oil tanker should read this book. Now I'm on board and can't send you by email

[@3964GC]

Thank you. What is the rated capacity and discharge head of the main cargo pumps? What is the temperature of crude oil during unloading operations at the terminal?

[@CaptainKG]

Thanks for watching. Discharge head 140 m or 14 bar was on this particular suezmax tanker. Light crude no need heating during unloading and the temperature varies from climatic zone. Heavy crude oil sometimes requires heating, depends of the climatic zone also, normally at least till 30 Celsius.

[@jeraldvittalis1709]

Hai mate can to make video about loading and discharging sequence of it and also AUS operation at the time of stripping it will really appreciated pls

[@CaptainKG]

Thanks for the comment.

[@christosdorotheou4230]

Dear Konstantin, I would like to ask what is the purpose of “pump oil collection chamber”?

[@CaptainKG]

Dear Christos, this chamber is used to collect oil leakages from seal gland of shaft bearings.

[@pasha03091]

sir what is used for Drain Tank and what type of wristwatch we can wear on tanker ships when we work on deck?

[@CaptainKG]

Good day. For AUS normally Slop Tank is used for draining. You can use normal wrist watch but not the ones with Esim like apple watch or samsung watch.

[@CaptainKG]

That's a good theme actually. I will do this during my contract. Now I'm in shipyard on board of VLCC. Collegues, do you have any ideas/suggestions of what you are interested about the tanker during dry dock?

[@alexs3073]

Константин, спасибо за видео, как у человека без танкерного опыта появился ряд вопросов: так как Pump room это confined space, как часто должен контролироваться Pump room и его насосы во время выгрузки? И если будет обнаружена значительная утечка нефти или другого груза, персоналом при инспектировании Pump room, какие меры необходимо предпринять?

[@CaptainKG]

Спасибо за отзыв Алекс. Каждый час во время выгрузки спускается вахтенный матрос в помповое отделение для инспекции и делает доклад вахтенному помощнику о состоянии грузовых насосов и наличии всевозможных протечек. Если обнаружена большая протечка, то вахтенный матрос может даже сам остановить грузовой или балластный насос. Возле каждого насоса установлены специальные кнопки аварийной остановки. Также вахтенный помощник из ПУГО может остановить любой грузовой насос и доложить о вынужденной остановке на грузовой терминал на берег.

[@pasha03091]

What is the difference between Lel and Volume? I always wonder that because,When our tanks are empty,I measure gases as Lel but when tanks are full then,I measure as VOL.Why happens like that? Thank you so much.

[@CaptainKG]

Hi Canavar. The Percent by Volume means that in a total sample of any given gases equivalent to the 100%, while percentage of a LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) of flammable gas within that total will mean a risk. i.e the percentage by volume of Methane will be 5%. This means that in a situation where 5% of methane out of the 100%, as long as we have Oxygen and a spark this will mean a highly dangerous situation. If the 5% of a total is the LEL (lower explosive or flammable limit) for methane, that 5% will be equivalent to the 100% %LEL. Meaning this that the %LEL is the total needed percentage out of a 100% of a flammable gas. i.e. For Methane %5 by volume = 100% %LEL. Therefore 2.5%VOL is 50% Methane So, you normally measure LEL in empty cargo tanks because gas concentration is not too rich, because of inert gas mixture there after discharging. And in loaded tanks the gas mixture is rich and it could possible to measure only % by VOL(volume)

It depends on your experience. The good thing that on crude oil tankes witth line system and centrifugal pumps usually less grades of cargo and more long voyages. Best regards
