Thanks everyone! Incredible support and incredible subscribers on this KZbin channel! How many kind and good words! I hug everyone !!!

[@happyjoyjoy6976]

@@mykhailomaliar541 thank you very much for the tour of your office good sir.absolutely mind blowing how clean and organized your work environment is my friend.much love to you and your family from the insane asylum formerly known as Australia

[@bobuncle8704]

Misha rocks. That is by far the best tour I’ve ever seen. Just absolutely stunning. 18,000 kw is about 24,000 hp. 1000 hp per cylinder. AWESOME. Tristan, Thank you so much fo such an incredible tour.

[@rp1645]

@Scott Cole I knew a old Navy Chief who was on one of those battle Ships. He told me they just ADDED oil to Engine ( never changed oils) on mains.

[@carltondodd953]

Micha a outstanding professional engineer, a credit to his profession. How that engine room labyrinth is even kept clean and tools,spares organised wow. Outstanding video.

[@chrissayers7076]

WTF, engineering on a super massive size, I'm blown away..AWOL is a dinky toy by comparison, I'm impressed how everywhere is so clean and tidy, I thought the bridge tour was brilliant, no way gov, below decks has been the best ever vlog you have ever produced.

[@captainotto]

They have to be. They can get inspected by several different agencies in practically every port and for different things. The best way to defend against "findings" or other bad day-causing things is to keep the ship squeaky clean. Also because they're transporting other (very expensive) boats with very demanding owners, they have to be really good in all inspections because just a single impounding would absolutely wreck their business.

[@robo825]

compagny policy to keep everything tidy and clean.

[@markshutt1476]

Put simply, the idea of their systems are really pretty simple, diesels running generators to provide electricity to power, well, everything. The reality is truly amazing. Everything that has been shown of this transport ship has impressed me. And that's coming from 20 years in the navy. Great thanks to Tristan and the ships crew.

[@davidsanders1877]

One of your best videos ever!!!! Thanks to the captain and chief engineer for allowing this, and if course Mischa who was so knowledgeable and so passionate about his domain.

[@dougharvey9803]

Jesus Christ! Didn’t realize just how big a ship you were on till now-my hats off to misha for keeping it all together

[@gotafarmyet4691]

Yeah I was thinking you could get lost down there

[@highkicker11]

now that's a guy that's proud of his job.

[@Kaii_679]

Misha the 2nd engineer has really gone the extra mile in showcasing the ships propulsion and power supply unit to water desalination and fuel purification to feed the power units. Great video of how you conduct firewatch duty in ships terms.✌

[@thx113868]

That ship is amazing he is like Scotty all the things he knows. And how clean the Engine room and all of the connecting rooms are. What a cool ship. And thank Misha for the way cool tour of his part of the ship.

[@johngauntlett4915]

The technical aspect of how the ship operates is just mind-boggling. I wish I could hear more of the commentary as you were going through the engine room. Great video, the technical space is massive. You would definitely have to know your way around as I could see you could get lost in there very quickly.

[@Jegorex]

This video really could use subtitles in the places where it's difficult to hear anyone

[@GazzaCam]

@@Jegorex You can turn on KZbin subtitles via the cog icon. They are not the most accurate, but they do help somewhat.

[@richardc1983]

@@GazzaCam tried that even KZbin couldn't figure it out as at times there was literally no audio just background noise.

[@GazzaCam]

@@richardc1983 Yes I realised that when I was attempting to improve the understanding of the engine tour. Hopefully Tristan will read a few of the comments and try adding his own subtitles when editing his next video when background noise makes it impossible to hear what is being said.

[@tonysmith6359]

Slav would of been in heaven walking around that engine room

[@ghl3488]

Thank you so much Tristan and of course to the engineer, he really enjoys his job and has so much enthusiasm. Reminds me of being an apprentice may years ago but in mining. A very moderm vessel in comparison to traditional propulsion systems. no need for conventional gearboxes or propellor shafts which sap energy. Very enjoyable video.

[@johnschmuck5589]

This series is great, ever expanding my basic understanding of the marine industry

[@ae92gts]

I really enjoyed this tour. You can tell that Mischa takes a lot of pride in the ship!

[@telluntouhutlapintyttoseik1493]

Jesss, the ships engines was made by wärtsilä, here in Finland, Turku. We live here in Turku 😍💪

[@carlosfmedina3933]

Great engine brand “Godzilla” 👍🏽

[@4LowRocks]

Very good tour. That young engineer is proud of his ship and spaces and was enthusiastic that you wanted to know about it! Very cool. I didn't work in engineering in my time in the US Navy, but I was always fascinated by the systems - most impressive to me were the four LM-2500 turbine engines that powered a Destroyer that I was assigned to in the 1990's - it also had three helicopter-sized turbine engineers to run the generators. Yeah, it burned through much fuel when at speed. And HOT, gawd those engine rooms were HOT. Thanks for the video.

[@deanbone6790]

Thanks for the great footage and for not editing anything out. The planning, engineering and design as you stated that it takes to construct a vessel like that not to mention the generations of shipbuilders and mariners that have brought us to this point. Thank you Misha for the great tour. It looks like you know that ship like the back of your hand. A true professional!

[@rp1645]

Dean YES masters of there trades. I read where the US Navy is looking at these types of hulls for what's called forward staging of like a Marine Battalion. It would SINK like these, then become forward area floating (sunken) docking Berth's for smaller going to the shore battle group of Marines. Really neat looking and idea, by Navy ship designers. It gets rid of the rear sinking dry dock area of advanced Marine Amfib. Assault well deck. They are having huge (corrosion) problems in those well decks. Because they shut them up tight. The new design would be all OPEN like these great looking Transporters.

[@ianfirth-clark5975]

A rare insight to the workings of a commercial ships propulsion systems, very interesting and its great to see how the crew are so enthusiastic about their jobs. Fantastic series Tristan thank you for documenting your voyage.

[@irishharmon]

I haven't been in an engine room on a commercial ship in over 25 years and every sound flooded back pure muscle memory. What a great video. No editing just the raw truth. I love it. More please,

[@danmerillat]

Really enjoyed this one. Seeing the workings of this absolutely massive (yet not even huge as ships go) vessel was really interesting. Thanks! And big thanks to Misha for taking the time to give the tour!

[@dangoldman6636]

The best tour of a ships engine room ever. Thanks

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

Being a retired Marine Engineer myself and having served on diesel/electric propulsion systems toward the end of my career on diving support vessels; I have to say this is your best video; and yes I am biased lol. Misha knows his stuff!

[@johnraisbeck2768]

Great informative video. The 2nd was on the ball. The 2nd usually runs the show down below. Lots of responsibility on his shoulders! The control room has a/c. Its not for crew comfort its to make sure the instruments and computers don't overheat!

[@Walcingham509]

Amazing! Great video.. it seems that you found a very qualified tour guide.. Thanks to Misha and the crew for the cool behind the scenes tour...

[@stewtube1240]

Once again ...Thank you Tristan , Mark and a very knowledgeable and accommodating Misha . That blew me away ! I would never had thought that the ship would have so many systems and so much equiptment ...plus spares and back-ups for everything . Amazing how neat and organised everything is . Well done Misha !

[@kirby.hofman]

He looks so happy and so interested to show you around. I would love to see him start his own channel

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

I think I've convinced him to start his own channel. Time will tell.

[@kirby.hofman]

@@SuperYachtCaptain I clicked that Instagram link you posed and followed him...I told him he should def start his own channel so I hope he does. Seems like a real genuinely good guy.

[@grahamwallace7933]

I kept saying wow, throughout the video. Absolutely loved this. High fives to Misha.

[@geoffreywood5808]

Excellent series of videos. Very interesting to see the "behind-the-scenes" workings of this great MY. Kudos to the Captain of MY Yacht Express. You have a beautiful ship, and a very knowledgable and friendly crew. The pride in their work and ship shows very clearly. Great job. Perhaps the Captain might be persuaded to say a quick hello and accept the accolades due him.

[@millenniumsteve]

Wow - just Wow. Really enjoying following the passage to Florida and this one is the best so far. Mischa obviously loves the work he does and was so friendly and informative. Tristan thanks for all the Vids, going to miss AWOL updates once you leave, been following for the last couple of years. I hope that the next one you move to you will be able to continue providing the vids they are fantastic. Thanks!

[@JCrook1028]

He'd have to find a new boss too, old boss isn't buying a new boat.

[@gerryfinegan]

It is almost impossible to completely comprehend the sheer scale of the vessel 🚢 Thank you Tristan.

[@marioescanuelas8167]

That 2/E knows his stuff, hats off to him. I was thinking the same as Tristan, regarding the design and planning of all that. Then there is also who invented all of that technology and also who installed it all in the build of the ship. Curious as to how much Engineering staff there is on that ship. Anyway, great video Tristan, I would give it more than one ‘like’ if I could.

[@andydykes7744]

this would be one of the biggest viewed programs on discovery channel, absolutely amassing, loved it and was disappointed it finished lol thanks for sharing this with the world.

[@Orchardman53]

I used to work (in computing) in Lloyds Register of Shipping, so I already knew the complexity of commercial marine vessels, but this video really demonstrates the complexity of these specialist ships. To think they used to be designed "by hand" before the advent of Computer Aided Design software. It is not just the tracing of wires and pipes, but also calculating the stresses involved in sea passages carrying heavy loads.

[@MattRootsTube]

Absolutely awesome. Thank you Misha for an incredible, access all areas tour. Father was Chief Engineer on Thames tugboat and use to love the engine room - bit smaller than that one though😀👍

[@suunto61]

That engineer loves his ship and his job. Just shows. Great content. As he said at the end!!

[@Toffie10]

This is absoluteley amazing! Thx Tristan. I enjoyed every second of this video! My mouth was hanging open!

[@jamesgreen3417]

As ex RN I’ve always had utmost respect for Marine Engineers, tough job. This 2nd officer knows his stuff and so passionate about his job. Hugely impressed by the cleanliness.

[@britannia-foundry]

Big thankyou to the 2nd Engineer for such a brilliant tour, I was impressed with the proactive maintenance regime, that is a lot of equipment to look after as well.

[@1320fastback]

I think in my next life I will work on a ship like this. I could spend all day down there maintaining and fixing things.

[@Donald_Shaw]

Oh dear Lord, I'm exhausted traveling through the bowels of this massive ship. A huge thank you to Misha for that fabulous tour. I too marvel at the engineering, planning and design of such a complexed and magnificent ship -- I'm in total awe of all the professionals who made this ship possible and all the manpower spent on fabricating this ship. Thanks Captain Tristan for posting this wonderful tour.

[@charlesml3]

That was just brilliant. I was glued to it from the first minute. I'm amazed at the amount of access they've given you to show all of us.

[@anthonypaterson7066]

Absolutely the best Engine Room tour I have seen. A credit to the crew for such high standards. 50 years ago I crewed for Bowaters, their ships were always to the same high standard.

[@rossauld3007]

The expertise of the engineer is awesome, so knowledgeable and passionate. Brilliant brilliant video. 👍

[@ArtVanAuggie]

Good tour of the world of the snipes. Excellent engineer, he was checking everything as he was giving the tour. Engineering is a department where the captain must have overwhelming confidence and trust in his chief (CHENG is a term often used to convey that). Love those electric pods, first I've seen that were THAT far from the main power plant. Very interesting tour. Very unique ship. Thanks.

[@TheByrnes1]

That was too notch! Seeing the bowels of a ship most won't ever see was eye opening and a look into some amazing engineering. Thanks!!

[@peer_64]

Wow, what a technique to keep that ship on the go. Just to let all those systems work together at the same time and to keep maintenance updated must be a hell of a job. A wonder it still floats with all that iron and cables. Walking to the corridor the ship seems so much longer than walking on deck. A voice-over would be nice, but I understand that this might not be doable during the trip. Maybe later on. Great tour though and a big thanks to Misha.

[@josh_bfc_2769]

Absolutely fantastic video guys. The crew are so accommodating for you. A big thumbs up to them for allowing you access 👍. Keep up the good work

[@tonygordon3127]

Best comment from the video “How do you move the heavy parts? We can weld every where we need!”

[@VW5767]

Tristan and Misha, that was one of the best videos I have seen yet. What an incredible ship to see the interworking's of. Thank you very much! You should be in Ft Lauderdale soon!

[@bryanchesley9435]

Maybe the longest, but well worth it. Thank you.

[@philipstaite4775]

Wow, just wow. As an engineer, I could spend days in there, learning how that all works. You'd never see me above decks. ;-)

[@norarivkis2513]

That second engineer is fantastic. I hope they realize how lucky they are to have someone so capable and enthusiastic about his work. Also, I knew that ship was huge, but that ship is HUGE. The idea that the bow thruster is bigger than the AWOL's main engine is just mind-blowing.

[@alanblasczyk1779]

That was really amazing Tristen. thank you so much. For us retired mechanical engineers, that was a real treat !

[@mikeprice9948]

WOW - so much machinery - so many pipes and cables and how an enthusiastic engineer to show you around - no idea how he keeps up with all those different parts that make the whole ship work and how BIG everything is!!

[@numbersletters3886]

Thanks for doing the Engine Room!! Very cool,

[@dennisfrankum4519]

Wow!!! Thank you all, so much! I LOVE machines! AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! Wish I was 25 again! Many thanks Tristan!!!

[@paulkersey2179]

You can tell Misha has a lot of enthusiasm for his job. Good job by all. Thank you

[@pietarhila]

Thank you Tristan and Misha for that awesome tour.

[@lukeoforcas]

Some people just see an outlet or a hose spigot and think that’s where we get our power and water from. The infrastructure behind the scenes that allow us to have power and fresh water at our disposal is an incredible system. Thanks for showing us what’s behind the curtain. Thank Misha for the tour. And thank you Tristan for the years of interesting content and keeping such an awesome crew on AWOLs adventures. Keep your eyes on the horizon, but don’t forget to enjoy everything you can along the way. 🤙

[@goldenlabradorskye]

Brings back memories of my sea going days. Wandering around the machinery spaces. Epic tour.

[@dasvader_1]

A fantastic video and very educational and interesting. It’s great to see such a nice ship and the pride the crew has in operating it. A lost work ethic here in the States.

[@davidhalliday7776]

Fantastic!!! Misha is a total star, really knows his stuff and total pride in what he does.

[@taxalterror]

That was fantastic, I have never seen so many electric motors in one place. What a engineer. A big thanks to all. :)

[@richardgiles2484]

This was amazing and you were so lucky to have this tour. All the crew are very friendly which is nice 👍

[@jabar94]

Cool to see how excited Misha was to show everything. Definitely best engine room tour on YT, good job!

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi , an amazing video , thanks to all

[@triedproven9908]

Sweet technical tour of the super yacht hauler. 38cm pistons 400,000 liters/hr 2million gallon tank Incenerators Massive strainers Expansion gaskets everywhere. Good stuff.

[@elliottdiedrich2123]

I think that the 400,000 liters/hr must be the rate that they can fill the bunker tank. He definitely wasn't talking about fuel consumption because 18,000 kW * (BSFC) of about 167g/kW/hr = 3006 kg or liters/hr for a new efficient engine (Wartsila X62) and probably a bit more for an older not-so-advanced one, so maybe 4000 liters /hr. Anyway, I really enjoyed the video.

[@carlylekhan7007]

Hi Tristan. Kindly Thank Misha for Taking Us Along for Engine Room Tour. Thanks for Sharing Misha. Fair Winds And Following Sea My Friends.

[@nickmichell]

Thanks so much and thank the crew for letting you look around and post online, so interesting.

[@joesmithatridecorp9011]

That was something different, its rare that we get tour an engine room while it's in full operation. What kool video 📹 The systems all humming along, generators running. Drive shafts and props spinning , cooling and electrical online. Just love all that technology coming together. 🙌

[@MIDTOWNE1]

Watched the whole video and enjoyed it. Thank you, Misha, excellent tour and hospitality.

[@clairegardner404]

Hi, what a wonderful video. I can't imagine how so many systems and electronics and power plants can be designed and planned in so many compartments. The size of the cables to the azipods was amazing. The size of the machinery spaces was amazing. I don't know how they know what it all does. How do they keep it so clean. What a nice guy the engineer was, so helpful to you. One of your best videos, thank you Chris

[@jphifer2848]

Very well done, Tristan! The scale & redundancy of everything on this ship is incredible - because it has to serve itself AND 13 yachts. Great 2/E - thank you!

[@terrysmall1421]

what an incredible skill set Misha must have, and a great tour guide. thanks for the tour..awesome

[@ladgolf6330]

Incredible piece of engineering and the knowledge that Misha has of the vessel is admirable. And to think, they sink pretty much all of that well below the water line in order to get the superyachts on board so that they can be transported across the ocean!!

[@ghostindamachine]

What an epic tour and an astounding amount of technology! Misha sure knows his stuff and ship!

[@tonygordon3127]

It astounds me how anyone could not like the effort and commitment put into this video - I laugh at their negativity and lack of enthusiasm

[@brutus7319]

Amazing tour! What an impressive machine. Thanks to Misha, what a dedicated engineer. I would love to see the engine maintenance.

[@markworks1324]

One of your best videos!!!! You commented its going to be one of the longest videos but I don't think it was long enough. Misha is a legend!!!!!

[@t-oneinternational8576]

Tristan and Misha, thank you so so much for giving us the opportunity to come along with you through the ship. Absolutely brilliant 🤩

[@simonrose8685]

Fantastic tour Tristan. Thank you so much for sharing. Amazing statistics, Mischa is a great tour guide and is obviously very proud of his job. I would freak out looking down that tunnel in bad weather

[@remo14387]

i wanted to be a engineer , this just great massive respects misha, Thank you so much for your tour

[@J1mbo888]

Fantastic Tristan. Thank all the Guys on board for the allowing the tour to happen. :-)

[@SimonKuijper]

What a wonderful video. I am very impressed with the enormous power that goes into keeping the entire ship on course and providing it with energy. Again, thank you very much for this wonderfully educational video.

[@kcowgirl7840]

I recently watched the AWOl Super Yacht 10- year refit (that took 6 months) videos and was blown away. Now looking at this ship that functions on a scale so massive, it is hard to take it. Thanks, Tristan for taking us along.

[@jamestamu83]

Fantastic tour. That's a rare treat to see the inner workings of such a large ship. Truly impressive!

[@woohunter1]

I would love a voice over video of that engine room, that place was insane!

[@Kennethah81]

That was the shortest 38 minutes of my life! Increadibly interesting video, probably one of the most interesting things I've watched on KZbin in years! Absolutely facinating, and very well presented. Misha seems like he would make a great instructor!

[@casual9982]

That's so interesting. Like you said at the end, just imagine designing this ship!! Definitely a lot going on, very impressive!

[@clydem56]

Great job everyone, especially Misha. Pointed out spare parts more than once, a man after my own heart.

[@HughTFYT]

OMG! The sheer scale of it is mind-boggling! Talk about 'heavy engineering' and, as someone mentioned below, not a 'big ship' by some standards! Love all the AWOL videos Tristan, but these on the transporter are just unbelievable. Thanks so much and Godspeed Florida.

[@Jamming98]

Mind Blown. The amount of electrical is stunning. Great tour and many thanks.

[@TheLoxxxton]

Jesus! I can only imagine what the inside of a US Aircraft carrier looks like! Thins was only Engineering!!! Mr Scott would have been in his element. 'She canna take any more capt!

[@mickemike2148]

SWEET! I can literally hear the power that is being produced.

[@nigeldewallens1115]

You said what I was thinking whilst watching that stunning walk through the engine room! Amazing and thank you to Misha and you of course! Not forgetting the camera man too ;)

[@markakkerman811]

Great work to show the inside of the ship. Amazing how it was filmed. Also great to see how passioned the engineer Misha tells about his workplace. Thank you all.

[@bosgaurus1]

Jefferies tubes! 😉 Rule #1: When a mega-ship's engineer wants to show you something cool, go with him! I have a feeling our favorite Avol ship's engineer, Bullet, would have had a field day here. My God! Just the copper alone in all of the ship's wiring would weigh into the tons! Thanks for the amazing tour, Misha (sorry if I got your name wrong). Thanks Tristan! (aside: When my god-daughter was learning to speak as a child, she had a difficult time pronouncing "Uncle Chris". For a while it came out "Unca Tris"). 😁

[@JCrook1028]

Misha - you're a rockstar! Thank you so much for allowing us into your area thru Tristan!
