I am both somewhat jealous of and impressed by the spacious engine rooms civil ships of this size offer, remembering "my" ship, one of the older German Navy frigates. During my first weeks on this ship, I literally greeted every single valve with my head - which might be not the best way to memorize them - and I was still lucky because of my rather small and slim body shape. Awesome insights, thank you very much!

Thank you for showing a normal day working on a ship behind the scenes with the engineering components. I love the power in the sounds of the engine and all the cooperative mechanical machinery that all functions in concert with each other. The visual and audio are real as it gets. (Especially while doing the audios on a large blue tooth sound bar), thanks for not playing music so everyone can emerge in the marine engineering atmosphere. Well done!
Having worked in a engine room on a Navy ship. This is NICE!!! VERY clean engine room you guys have. I actually would like working down here. And I'm, qell my knees love seeing those watertight doors from space to space. No need climbing 10 stairs to go to the other space for a part. Nice video, stay safe out there.

Stabilisers are adjustable Fins to reduce Roll, a bit similar to Ailerons in Airplanes. They can be retracted for going alongside, or to reduce Drag in calm Seas where they aren't necessary. Passenger Ships have a high Center of Gravity, so they tend to roll at a high Angle and with a slow Period. The Stabilisers only increase Passenger Comfort; there is no Danger of Capsizing if they malfunction.

Oh, shit. Maybe I've misunderstood what is doing what. Or not. I'm lost. I'd possibly be bad luck to have aboard. It amazes me that someone designs and makes all that, and in not-so-many years, it gets driven full-ahead onto some beach in Bangladesh or India, and the gas torches start to cut it to pieces before it's even stopped moving. Quite sad, really. Mind you, keeping all that running would be a mission, so I guess it has a limited economical life. Just seems a waste. My compliments to the cleaners. It's beautiful. And those are some serious compressors!

Surely those electric motors run through some sort of reduction gearing, because those shafts are spinning mighty fast. Swinging a large screw at those revs would be counterproductive? it all seems to be too complex to be reliable. And awfully hard to fix if something fails - especially in an emergency... And can those watertight doors be opened and closed manually? The diesels appear to be turning at an ideal prop speed. How much loss is there in that system??? Trust me, I'm ignorant, but instinct tells me that this is a bit too complicated to be logical, if that makes sense. I guess my real question is: why not run the screws directly off the engines? I await an education. Cheers.

@@rguy2684 If You want to belive or not îs your personal choice. I have sailed 3 years on that ship and i know what i'm saying. I have a high voltage certificate and I'm alowed and certified to sail on these ships. And for me the subject îs closed. Peace and happy days.
@@ARO10-3 it’s all good, just trying to understand. That’s all, no arguments here, it’s super interesting to me.
Is this ship set up with Electrically Driven Variable Pitch Propellers?? Is that why there is so much High Voltage Generator Power?? 11,000K.V. How Many K. W.?? Do these engines run on #2 or #6 Fuel Oil??
These engines can be run on the HFO or MGO
Where is the frequency converter?
How many engineers, leckys and ER crew do you have to operate all that lot Zak?
There were around 20 Engineers, 3 ETOs and around 30 other engine room crew consisting of mechanics, machinists, ABs and wipers
@@zakbarratt761 I went round Queen Mary in 1964 when she was still in service. There were around 150 engineers plus a legion of firemen, oilers and other general engineering hands!
Is that Electrical Generators driven off the propulsion shafts??
They are PEM’s. 5x Wartsila ZA40s generators provide power for the ship.
There are also shaft generators on the shafts too.
Io ho lavorato alla costruzione di questa nave
Lots of evaporation ability.
Oh, shit. Maybe I've misunderstood what is doing what. Or not. I'm lost. I'd possibly be bad luck to have aboard. It amazes me that someone designs and makes all that, and in not-so-many years, it gets driven full-ahead onto some beach in Bangladesh or India, and the gas torches start to cut it to pieces before it's even stopped moving. Quite sad, really. Mind you, keeping all that running would be a mission, so I guess it has a limited economical life. Just seems a waste. My compliments to the cleaners. It's beautiful. And those are some serious compressors!
Any control room ?? 😀😀😀
Yes of course. I just didn’t video it 🤣
@@zakbarratt761 bruh 😆
Sailed on that ship from 2013 till 2016. The blue coverall shouldn't be there, hanging. During my last contract the second RO was installed, together with the second pass RO.
Looks like a little more to do than pop the clutch and give it gas 😮😀
Like doom....can't find the weapon selection buttons..!!
C est quoi comme métier se qui s occupe dès machines
my guess is as this. Chines buildings. As usual crowded. Hard to remove the exhaust cover on the turbine oil cover. Different level in the engine compartment. Hard to move around heavy objects. Saw that the Sulzer rotating pistons where stored where the propeller shaft electric motors where placed. I know how it is to work on Chinese ships. Take care guys. Thanks for the video though. Greetings Peder
Built by Fincantieri, an Italian company. They have eight shipyards (6 merchant, 2 naval) all in Italy.
is this the 1996 rotterdam or the 1958 rotterdam?
1996 I believe
1996 mate
The 1958 one is a Hotel and Museum in Rotterdam. Plus it's a Steam Turbine Ship and not Diesel-Electric.
Millions of pounds of running machinery and no one watching any of it . that is scarey .
I took this video at night, there’s always two officers minimum manning the engine room.
That's perfetcly normal in Hydropower. There can be several Powerplants with no one on Site, controlled from a single centralised Control Room.
All automated. Sensors on everything
At the beginning, down the stairs, opening the door, to the right of the door is the Poorest looking weld i have ever seen on a ship. If the vessel is held together by these it will come to pieces in a storm
Surely those electric motors run through some sort of reduction gearing, because those shafts are spinning mighty fast. Swinging a large screw at those revs would be counterproductive? it all seems to be too complex to be reliable. And awfully hard to fix if something fails - especially in an emergency... And can those watertight doors be opened and closed manually? The diesels appear to be turning at an ideal prop speed. How much loss is there in that system??? Trust me, I'm ignorant, but instinct tells me that this is a bit too complicated to be logical, if that makes sense. I guess my real question is: why not run the screws directly off the engines? I await an education. Cheers.
The propulsion system utilises controllable pitch propellers. Also the water tight doors can be shut opened and closed manually from both the engine control room and bridge.
Why you stopped your content ? So sad
