This is the engine room (Engine Control Room)

This is also the engine room (Shaft)

Today ima show you around the ship's Engine Room (Main Engine)

As always we will need some safety gear

most importantly earplugs because the Engine room sounds like this

There's a few entrances; the most used one is from Engine Control Room

So lets start off from there A good number of computer systems & control

panels are linked to the Engine Control Room so that the engineer can work their magic

from here

Through the fire door, we're into the actual engine space

Let's start off with main course, the main engine

The whole engine is massive, 4 deck high It can produce 80,000 horse power, up to 25knots

in flat seas Forget about puny v12 Lamborghini engine,

our ship is also v12 but the pistons rod alone are twice the size

of a human And you know what they say about large rods,

that the cylinders are even bigger

You might be wondering where's all the crew?

Well unlike the past or future all cargo ships now days, except for passenger

and military are designed for minimum manning

We are talking about twenty something people here on a 400-meter ship.

At the back is the fly wheel All that POWER is transferred to the propellers

through the shaft And the big block is what we call a shaft

generator At a high enough RPM we won't even need

to use diesel generators at all to power the entire ship

Speaking of diesel generators, we 've got 5 of them

Theres numerous machinery systems in the engine room

As a deck officer, some of them I didn't even know it existed

But I can definitely bring you to the few important ones

Remember my first vlog where I went into the duct keel?

As you can see the machines are placed in a way with only economics and safety in mind

There's no decorations at all, no room for luxury

The systems are in their pure raw metal form for simple execution

And the engine workshop is no exception, it's big and its well-equipped

With the workshop's equipment we can cut, we can weld, we can build anything we need

while we're at sea Not to mention we already have spare parts

for almost every machine on the ship Now we've been to all parts of the engine

room, except for one secret hidden passage way

Once the hero enter, there's no turning back

The emergency escape is at the bottom deck near the shaft

and it provides another means of escape other the entrances

However!

Its quite a climb

Once you've made it to the very top you'll

come out onto the upper decks of the ship

So that was a brief tour

check out my Instagram as I travel around world and you'll see my live updates straight

from the ship Let me know down in the comments below if

you got any questions And as always see you next time.
