I used to work overlooking a bulk goods port. Once they had an Oliver Hazard Perry class visit. Was quite different. The bulk carriers would slowly trail black smoke on start up, hours before leaving. The frigate belched white smoke and left within half an hour.
+DraGma. Ships in the UK have similar standards on most of their ships. I was once called to a chartered Greek car ferry and simply could not believe what I was seeing. At first, I thought that the floor was flooded, but I soon discovered that I was walking around in half an inch of oil, fuel and rust.
I do tech service work on various marine vessels. Out of all the years I've been doing it, the only ones who ever tried to stiff us on payment was a Greek owned and operated vessel. The vessel operators agreed to pay in Master's cash based on an estimate. I completed the job, submitted the report to the Captain for acceptance and payment, Captain claims that he cannot pay in Master's cash for the job completed, which came in under estimate. We are talking a couple thousand dollars here. It came to threatening to go to the bridge and undo the work that I had done, and that the Coast Guard would be contacted and notified that the vessel was not able to operate in US waters. Suddenly the Captain disappears into his state room and returns with cash in hand to the exact amount specified.
At 1:18 I love hearing the generator as it comes under load… The RPM stays the same, you just hear the turbo spooling up more, the more load is applied
I actually love that it’s just a big ol’ turbo diesel out of a Scania truck sitting there as a generator, but compared to the diesels running the propellors it’s tiny, even though it’s probably upwards of a 7 or 8 litre engine
i'm a few years late but that's a nice engine room and that's a mean engine right there... perfect video , straight to the point and good quality too 10/10

These types of videos always amaze me that such feats of engineering excellence have been achieved by people of flesh and blood, just like us, with no divine intervention. There are two different worlds, one holds the people always complaining and all the movie stars and the football hotshots, and the other holds people who work relentlessly and silently everyday so that the former gets a roof to live under with safety and security and opulence.
I am doubly amazed because today I watched videos of industrial sized steam engines that powered factories and locomotives. Those videos led me to this one.
How can you be sure that no divine intervention was present? All of our separate talents were surely given by someone or something! We are all put here for a purpose, no matter how small a contribution we make!
I am in love with the cleanliness of the engine room. I really appreciate how u let the generator rpms catch up before turning on another system. I also believe you didn't turn off the air supply as the system didn't have proper pressure yet? Absolutely amazing video in every way. Thank you
Wow... The big engines have always amazed me. They never get old to me lol. Too noisy for me but still - the incredible amount of engineering behind them is baffling.
I KNOW I'M A FEW YEARS LATE HERE but I just discovered this channel today. For anyone interested the engine rooms of old, like the 40's & 50's were nothing like this and the word "safety" was no where to be found. Hell, you almost couldn't breathe down there. They were an accident waiting to happen and quite often it did happen. We've come a long way in a short period of time. By the 60's things were quickly changing and so was the technology. Thank God for change!
Alexander Curtis Honda’s don’t make a lot of power, they aren’t supposed to? And this is a diesel boat engine not a small petrol engine in compact car? Like what logic are you using Civic: 800kg Tug boat 10s of tons Logic would have it that the boat would make more power? Is it so mind boggling to you that a boat engine makes more then 75hp? 😂
I’m American USA. And the Scania engine looks a lot like a Cummins 12 valve diesel. Pretty cool But I love how that Scania engine cranks. That loud whine of the cranking before it roars to life. I love it
Most interesting thing about this video was the part where he mentioned the voith schneider propellers. This prompted me to do some research on them. Very interesting water propulsion system.
Jeez... all you mechanics and techs and Engineers... it blows me away that you guys (and/or gals) can make sense of all those valves, switches, piping, metal lumpy things, and so on. That is REAL knowledge and honest work, especially if there's a problem. Impressive!
What an amazingly well made video! Great camera work, simply and clear info when needed, and totally fascinating! Well done! (Also, I love the clean engine room, everything looks put away, says a lot about you!)
oh man you made my day by this video, I love these things. My dream to become a mechanical engineer, but things have been changed and became electronic engineer now.
Thats how much horsepower the generator can output peak, its not on limiter, but those extraction/feeder fans must be pulling and considerable amount of amps to make it ramp up like that.
Direct started electric motors can drain up to 8 times nominal amps peak. Moreover there is a lag in the (mechanical ?) generator engine regulation when peak occurs.
Impressive ! Very good shown the steps and very clear how loud it is even when the mains are not running. Used to work several times on ships (gascarriers).
Cummins, Scania, Caterpillar, MAN all make medium speed marine propulsion systems. Cummins isn’t the only red one and even in the US isn’t always the common one. Cummins has the OTR truck market in the US. Everyone else has the marine market for tugs and commercial stuff.
Many moons ago was a deck hand on a corporate yacht. 97 ft converted WW II minesweeper. Main engine was a Fairbanks Morse inline 6. 400 HP @ 850 RPM. Air start like this. Boat carried 6000 gal fuel AND 250 gal lube oil. Cool gig. One night while dockside me and the mate dropped acid and I spent hours tripping in the engine room.
One skipper said the cleanliness of the engine room is important because leaks are noticed immediately. Looking at the exterior of a tug I never imagined that these machine beasts live inside of them. That's some awesome, raw power.
ShippingHarbors haha I completely agree with you - It's just that whenever I'm repairing something like a desk fan, just to feel what it's like, I always press my finger on the prop itself or the shaft out of pure curiosity. Of course it's massively more dangerous here and I would never do it had I the chance, but it just brings up memories of me and the fans ;)
I love the format this is done in. I once cut new floors and welded braces in an engine room a bit smaller than that one but still sharing some similarities. I can recognize that anti slip pattern right away lol. Now the old floors are part of my flatbed among other projects haha. Thanks for covering the details so well, pretty interesting stuff. Where was this filmed?
@Pennsylvania Mike how can u get that such of compressed air if u dont have that generator. If u use the little one it would be taking a looongg... Time to get that such air
The engine room is so clean and well lit. I love it. Also have to love when you start up your normal 220hp diesels before you crank up the real engines. lol. When the mains have sat for a day or two do you have to perform a blow-down procedure before you start them?
I always love it when a standard procedure involves tripping an alarm.
Hahahaha
you perv, you have some good taste
Hahahaha
He probably could have waited a bit to let the air pressure build up more. He's done it 100 times don't forget.
Dual function alarm, low air and wake up the captain to cancel it & change out of his carpet slippers.

Only thing that bugged me was the fishbowl lens. It hurt my eyeballs.
eyes hurting huh? i hear bukkake works for that. ;)
Airazz only complaint is I wanted to see the tug from the outside as well, maybe hear the exhaust rumble from the stacks.

Generator= quite loud
Main engine =...
Generator= Chihuahua

Generator running at a much higher rmp
It s because it produce deep frequencies which are less audible than higher frequencies of the generator
I bet they get louder when running, they’re just idling in the video, while the generator is under load
Wow, you can tell by the cleanliness how much pride you have in your tug. Amazing how nice well maintained it all is!
This is the most cleanest engine bay i have ever seen in my intire life

Would have been a treat to see the tugboat that these engines powered.
It's cool how you hear the engine room air pressure fans affecting the rpm of the Scania genset, for a moment right after they start up:P
Yep especially when he turn the 1st fan on.
Really a pleasure to watch a highly skilled engineer at work.
That turbo alone makes more power than a whole Honda! And the Scania generator looks like a European 12V Cummins

Hearing the generator increase output as the fans start up has me wandering how many amps those fans must be pulling
About tree-fiddy
The subtitles say it is a 250 hp motor. That is 186 kw.
Thats how much horsepower the generator can output peak, its not on limiter, but those extraction/feeder fans must be pulling and considerable amount of amps to make it ramp up like that.
Technical term is a butt load.
If they had a caterpillar gen set,you'd never noticed.
Direct started electric motors can drain up to 8 times nominal amps peak. Moreover there is a lag in the (mechanical ?) generator engine regulation when peak occurs.
There is something very sexy about a well maintained engine room.
The fact there is an engine almost everywhere, is like a little slice of heaven.
Good video. Many people don't realize what is involved in starting anything but their turn-key vehicle.
