Engine room of a 300 000 ton oil tanker (VLCC) bonus: Boilers & Engine control room

Brand new.

this is 100% NEDA Maritime

Now those are massive engines...imagine the size alone of her connecting rods....to think they used to be exposed on the outside and having to constantly oil them.

Wao this ER looks brand new, thanks for a great video! Regards from a former 2nd officer at Wallenius PCTC.

we take it good new.

What strikes me about this video is how LOUD the machinery noise seems to be. Do ship engineers tend to suffer higher rates of hearing loss than people from other occupations?

That's some giantific machinery! 🙂

It’d be much nicer if there was some sort of narration. What am I looking at? What does this thing do? What work do you do? What is it like living and working on a ship?

All this complication just to turn a shaft!

torque at 66rpm to produce 32,830HP = 2,612,472 ft/lb!

Ce navire est neuf !!!

Beautifly clean enginering and machinery compartments, of course there huge and most likey built by Hyundai Shipbuilding?

Sure beats the open knife switch board days.

Imagine what CERN looks like.
Seriously way more high tech than this.

The imagination all this will end at Alang one day is unbelievable.

I call bs on this sound being genunine .... it feels like it is made on a computer ...

Shite camera work!

Listening to this is extremely relaxing.

Amazing video. To think of all the work that goes into designing and making this. And i struggle to fix some parts on my bicycle. The mechanics that maintenance these kind of contraptions must have been those types that played around with mechanics since they were 2 years old.

The sad thing is that they probably only make about 30 000$ a year. Should be at least a zero added on to it.

It's an an engine room, cleaner than many houses would ever be

Turn camera slowly, bucause impossiple to watch.

800 mm for the cylinder bore. My kitchen table fits in that.

Ascona 2018 building ,first voyage at 4 January from Mokpo Korea,ship yard Hyundai samho

Nicely done video. Very smooth filming with no jerking around - thank you.
Super clean engine spaces or is this a new ship. If it’s the former, then kudos to the crew! Were those full size boilers?

Thanks,
Ram

I love my job,this places is so much memories as an engineer.

How much hp in this engine

Nice tour on the video. You have a nice video stedy and fine

cylinder bore is close to 3 feet in diameter with cylinder displacement being a little over 12 feet...WOW! I wonder what kind of spark plugs this beast uses...

This is not an engine room, this is an engine cathedral.

Wow, thanks for posting it. Amazing! Will you allow me to use some of it in my video? You will be properly credited

An immaculate engine room. Most of mine were beat to hell.

Seems a tad underpowered for its size. We had similar powered engines for much smaller Obo’s.

On a VLCC I would have expected more than 7 cylinders...no???

Clean and functional. What a playground for an engineer

Which type fuel?

Very smart , nice to all room
I like and very happy to u all crew
Godĺess u all
Amen

how many long this ship ?

Nice and clean but lethal if complacency sets in.

Is this a steam engine?

isn't it not these vessels what are polluting the planet and causing global warming

300,000 ton floating in the ocean. 🤔

Wow! No bulkheads or subdivisions to protect against flooding...at all.

Very nice and beautiful engine room... obsolete clean

I really enjoy seeing the footage you folks show of your beautiful ships. As a career sailor, I think it would have been an honor to work with folks like you in my younger days .... the material condition of your ship is amazing. Thanks for sharing this vid!! :)

7 cylinders seems an unusual configuration for an engine? Most high speed diesels are an even number of cylinders, 6, 8, 12, 16 etc. Is there a reason for this? Or is this a “modular” engine where any number of cylinders can be specified for an application? I was training to be a marine engineer for Texaco in London in 1967, but gave up because the mathematics was too hard for me in steam turbine applications.

THIS SHIP'S ENGINE ROOM IS SPOTLESS VERY GOOD PERFECT CH ENG,2 ENG, N OTHER PERSONNELS TOO GET THIS CREDIT WELL DONE

Great video. But what are we looking at? Provide info on what we're seeing.

The ancient air driven ship or rowing ships were much much better. The civilisation is now destroying this planet.
