[@user-xq6me6pd7q]

I am always stunned by the amount of engineering that goes into moving the millions of containers that are shipped all over the world. Even a smaller ship like my fathers RORO ferry had a huge and rather cramped engine room so this cathedral like space is magnificent in comparison. I congratulate the designers and manufacturers of these feats of construction and design. For anyone who doesn't comprehend this is a great video to show just what there is keeping them in consumer goods and remember there are hundreds of ships similar to this on our little planet as well as bulk carriers, oil and gas tankers and all manner of other vessels doing that thing that is largely invisible to the rest of us. Many thanks.

68,000kw equals 91,190hp or 3.75hp per 20 foot container. I would imagine it would be difficult to get a 20 foot container up to 20 knots with a tiny outboard motor. So remarkably efficient giant.

Very awesome video! Love the complexity of the mechanical spaces. Whole lot of pumps and machines to get a couple dozen people and a whole lot of cargo across the planet. When I see the amount of investment in one ship and mulipty it by the thousands of ships out on the seas both new and old, it gives an idea of the money and power involved in the global economy. And this is just one sector. Kind of scary to think what nations would do to keep or gain dominance. By the way, it looks like you were sailing through the Gulf of Oman toward the Arabian Sea when you were recording this? Probably just leaving Dubai would be my guess.

[@davidandrewsilver]

Great video - incredible machine. I have a hundred questions but I’ll just ask a few. If that huge GE generator on the propeller shaft is “online” how many aux engines do you have to run (or at what load are they under) ? And what do you use steam for ? Fuel oil heating, fresh water production, exhaust gas treatment ( my guesses?) one more- why such a large waste water treatment plant ?- I wouldn’t think the crew is that big…. Thanks for such a great tour! Happy travels.(I’m sorry one more - around 16:00 the machinery with what looks like rectangular plates stacked and bolted together- with the emergency eye wash stations- what are those? Cheers!,

[@artursauzins2189]

Thanks for your questions! Please find below answers: Q) If that huge GE generator on the propeller shaft is “online” how many aux engines do you have to run (or at what load are they under) ? A)Please note, beside of standard containers we are carrying also reefer containers which require additional power .Average Reefer container load 3,8 kw X 2000 Reefers =7600 kw. Average sea going load to run machinery(scrubber,pumps,fans,Purifiers etc) 3600 Kw. Port load 2100Kw.Air lubrication system 1750 Kw. Bow Thruster 2 X 3000 Kw. Thus Load depend of amount of reefers on board and vessel speed. Air Lubrication system consist 10 air compressors 170 Kw each.We have 2AEs x 4000 Kw + 3AEs X 4300 Kw + SG 4300 Kw. Bear in mind that we need also stand-by engine for maintenance purpose on another engines. Usually, we keep one AE 75% load + Shaft Generator 75% load. In Tropical area some times we start another AE since more cooling require and need to run 2 SW pumps . Q) And what do you use steam for ? A) Steam we need mostly for fuel treatment . We run our engines on HSFO 700 cst.To. run engines we have to maintain viscosity 14 Cst around 150-160 C. Fuel. Transfer temperature 45C. HFO purifiers 98C ,LO Purifiers 95C. In winter time we need to heat accommodation as well. Q) one more- why such a large waste water treatment plant ? A) We have 2 STP units (one ER and Accomodation) total crew members 30. STP is not large ,just average this is standard in nowadays

[@davidandrewsilver]

Thanks so much for taking the time ( I’m still curious about the equipment at time 16:00 - my guess was some sort of filter system ( maybe reverse osmosis?) Anyway thanks again!

[@artursauzins2189]

@@davidandrewsilver This unit called BOTU ( Bleed off treatment unit) total 4 units . BOTU related to scrubber EGCS ( Exhaust gas cleaning system) , principle simillar to reverse osmos.

So clean and so well maintained. The engineers involved in the layout must have spent years on the arrangements, piping, cabling etc... I just wonder why there are no screw compressors used for the starting air. Is it because of the required pressure or has it to do with reliance ?

Required starting air pressure 30 bar. Min 12 starts. For vontrol air and service air we have Screw compressor (8 bar pressure)We have additional screw compressors 12 units for Air lubrication system ALS located FWD not shown in video
