Knowing nothing to nothing about tugs, this is an absolute jaw-dropper. The wheel-house has a console like the International Space Station, it rides on top of a house that's got a kitchen, bath, bedrooms, etc.; and that rides on top of a massive engine room the likes of which I've never seen.
Running on Marine Diesel instead of Bunker Oil helps. With the latter, you can see even the tiniest Driplet of Oil for Years to come, no matter how much you clean.
as an engineer aboard an OSV myself kudos to you for the nice clean engine room. would love to have you for my relief. my engine room is always a shuttle when I get back to the boat and get to spend a week getting all the maintenance done and the machinery spaces back to my standards.
Those are Alco based engines I am sure. Listen to an old Alco locomotive and it sounds the same. Also Alco used the single cylinder head setup on all of their engines. The 251 was nearly bullet proof and very easy to repair if it needed it. Alco licensed it engines for use in many applications. Montreal Locomotive Works owned all of Alco's patents after Alco quit the US. It is rumored that Alco engines are being produced in the Us again for use in gensets, tugboats and even locomotives.

On the left side of the console, we have the impulse engine controls and on the right side, the transporter. The two red buttons are probably there to fire torpedos, right?
Have you operated any EMD powered vessels, and If so... what are your thoughts on them, in terms of overall reliability, power & response time ? Really appreciate you videos (tugs)... thanks for any reply. Stay safe.
2Stroke Diesel Power To; "Shipping / Harbors"..... I meant to ask what your thoughts are, on the EMD's (2 cycle 567, 645 or 710 series) in comparison to the 4 cycle powered vessels / tugs? Thanks again.
That should be correct yes 😉 there is also a movie on this channel where you can see this tug assisting a big container vessel. Search for 'msc Altair' on this channel 😉
I'm a railfan, but gotta tell ya it's just as satisfying to watch watch these big boys as well!
Wow, a 5 year later response. Fun with CZcams's algorithm.
The pair are 7,200 HP total; two 3,600 HP engines. Very much in the railroad power range.

Best comment yet!
The bridge with the lights off looks like the most peaceful place in the world to sleep.
Yes it does
That is one clean engine room
That's how every engine room on a multi million dollar boat should look. Clean engine room=awesome crew

Damn ! That wheelhouse is a lot more complex than i imagined it would be ! Never been aboard one...
This big boys looks strong.. ot nice to see it in the day time
Wow, tugs look tiny compared to the colossal ships they push around during berthing, but up close on their own, these things are still huge!
Never saw the engine room of a big tug before and I'm surprised at how clean and organized it looks. Good job guys. Thanks for the video. Pete
tugboats are the gentlemen of the waters escorting the big ladies i.e. the big ships out of the harbor so they need to be powerful
Thomas Ninan what a beautiful comment
tugboats, the wingmen of the sea. count on them to get the ugly fat chicks out of the bar for you.
Well said.
@@skyline3071 Amen
Simps of the Sea
You have a lot more power in that one finger than most men 👍 beautiful ship thanks for the tour🚢
That was awesome! Loved the "tour" as well!
Thanks !
+ShippingHarbors sHIP ???
Mr.brain750
???
ShippingHarbors Yеs ?????
Why did you say "sHIP? ??'
That is one clean, put-together engine room! Bravo!
That was a pretty nice introduction to a tugboat. Absolutely packing in the horsepower department
as an engineer aboard an OSV myself kudos to you for the nice clean engine room. would love to have you for my relief. my engine room is always a shuttle when I get back to the boat and get to spend a week getting all the maintenance done and the machinery spaces back to my standards.
aaaahhhh The sound of the tugboats heart beat
Thats a huge room for two bug engines amazing 💯
I can imagine how cool it would be to work on these engines off a tug boat i hope to some day work on one in alabama
nice tour , the sound of those diesels humming .
What a lovely bit of machinery. Doesn't look very old. Thanks for the look.
Harley-Davidson introduce a new lightweight sports engine.
Funny
WOW, that Tug is state of the art! Nice video, I really enjoy them, very much. =)
So clean and shine. New paint, not oil on deck..........like the old days in the navy.
What I love is how even up at the wheel horse, you can still hear the faint deep rumble of the diesel engines. Very cool boat.
That ships is a beauty! They look a lot bigger from the inside, I'm surprised.
Nice video. Got more than I clicked for. The tugboat tour and look at the bridge was a bonus. :)
Glad to hear that ;)
Such a beautiful sight to behold.
and as always , a thought and prayer for a safe day.
NICE CLEAN ENGINE ROOM
¡ Puro mùsculo !. Muchas gracias.
Thank you! I love ships!!! This made my night!
Niklas : Correct ! :)
7200hp in 720p.
Haha nice one!
+stereopolice not full HD? Half?
+No-Name script v2.7 On some mobile devices 1080p is not available ;-)
+No-Name script v2.7 You mean "not full HP", right?
+stereopolice HP or HD? ;-)
this is so cool!!! saw a similarly setup dragger the other day wheel house was so cool!! all new electronics!
So Ben! you have finally decided to promote your third channel aswell. Keep it up
The sound of power!!!!!
That's a Big Ass Tug Boat!
Will this fit in my Honda
+Sarah Miller You can try, but i don't think it will :D
No but your Honda will fit in it though!
...And the "blue things" are the top of the Voith Schneider Propellers... :-)
Yep! :)
Such a nice office
I want to be a tug boat captain
Be a Tug officer, my dream
How do you like the ABC engine and factory parts and service? We are considering a 1.5 MW ABC for a land based remote power gen application.
Those are Alco based engines I am sure. Listen to an old Alco locomotive and it sounds the same. Also Alco used the single cylinder head setup on all of their engines. The 251 was nearly bullet proof and very easy to repair if it needed it. Alco licensed it engines for use in many applications. Montreal Locomotive Works owned all of Alco's patents after Alco quit the US. It is rumored that Alco engines are being produced in the Us again for use in gensets, tugboats and even locomotives.
+railbus5 The engines are made by the Belgian company ABC. Own conception and design.
+railbus5 ABC was producing Diesel engines in 1912... decades before Alco... and unlike Alco still produces locomotive engines today...
LOVE IT WHAT A BEAST! AND SUPER CLEAN!
Jesus I love that sound ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I use to work in a engine room. There hot, loud and smelly. Just stepping out of one into cooler air is great...
thank you for apload
Starts better than my Ford!
Doesn't start as good as our Toyotas.
Fischer0Dude anything starts better than a ford
Sweet ...kinda makes me wonder ...just how big do these little boats get!!! Oh hey thanks 4upload .yeah :)
Just Awesome , wish i was there .i am Marine engineer with an addiction to automated systems and medium diesels so this turns me on lol
Very well filmed very interesting
Voith Schneider propulsion systems are cool.
It was surprisingly quiet on deck after he came up from the engine room

Absolutely Epic Vid👍🏻☺️..... the boat is so clean
Looks like the Voith Maxima 30 CC loco engine.
Excellent-like all your videos.
Thank you. Very interesting
Wow, how much torque in something like that? Thumbs up!
Not sure on the torque to be honest ;-)
+Journeyman A rough estimate for most diesels is multiply the HP X 3 or 2.5, I'm sure it's well over 6000ft lbs
+Journeyman in foot pounds it has 850…..
+pdoggy10inch a 7200hp diesel will be making a LOT more than 850lbs. If it's peak power is at 3000rpm it's making around 12500lbs.
wow….way more than me Cummins...
beautiful e/r
Nice Engine.....
I don't know anything about ships/boats really....but it looks so clean even in the engine room. Is that the sign of a good crew/company?
That would be both ;)
ook deze is weer mooi
Awesome Video
i just figured it out... im a tripple screw tugboat and its my job tow the ss united states to north carolina for refitting. ill do my best sirs.
Great video
Jesus 7200HP that's some power, Z-Drive, voith schneider or?
Voith ;-)
Beautifull and made in Belgium :-))))))
Belgium is gay
nice voith tug ;)
So tugboats are just floating engine rooms
Do the 2 Scania engines provide current for the starter motor of the ABC main engines?
CreRay those engines are started by compressed air
Them little engines could have been compressors,or gen sets .
Barks just like a 7FDL-12
pretty quiet machinery for a v12 :D
On the left side of the console, we have the impulse engine controls and on the right side, the transporter. The two red buttons are probably there to fire torpedos, right?
DIESEL POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:20 leaving the toilet seat up smh
nice vid
Those looked and sounded like Alco Engines
What a office
excelente video
how the hell did they ever come up with all this stuff
That big engine tho
Have you operated any EMD powered vessels, and If so... what are your thoughts on them, in terms of overall reliability, power & response time ?
Really appreciate you videos (tugs)... thanks for any reply. Stay safe.
2Stroke Diesel Power To; "Shipping / Harbors"..... I meant to ask what your thoughts are, on the EMD's (2 cycle 567, 645 or 710 series) in comparison to the 4 cycle powered vessels / tugs? Thanks again.
*Great, now fit this in a car then we will be impressed*
Big Tug! What are the dimensions, length, beam, draft, tonnage, etc., and is it a harbor or ocean going tug?
trucking604 Hi there, it's a harbortug. Lenght 30m, Beam 12m, draft 6m and about 700Tonnes i guess.
Shipping/Harbors That's 98.4 ft Length x 39.39 ft Beam x 19ft Draft.
That should be correct yes 😉 there is also a movie on this channel where you can see this tug assisting a big container vessel. Search for 'msc Altair' on this channel 😉
Shipping/Harbors Yes, I did watch it. Great video!
Thanks !
now.. STEP ON IT !!!
Is it somehow possible to hear this without the auxiliary engine in background ?
I think Voith made my Kayak
They look like huge ALCOs
Another comment from 2018😁😁
Mmmmmmmm need one of those in your fiesta?
I would be tempted to push buttons at random
BUT, is it a Hemi?
+Isukaman No Sir ! ;-)
+Isukaman Hemispherical combustion chamber designs are obsolete
Is that inside the boat? Pretty big engine room for a tugboat
Will this fit in my Honda?
Awesome thanks
Can this fit on a Ford Mustang?
Do you mean on the horse mustang, or the car mustang? I don't think cars are already made in your time period 😁😁😁
*****
you must have a great strong bank balance
What's the engine at the beginning ? It sound exactly as a truck engine
+blitzkrieg1996 That is indeed a truck engine ;) Here it is used to make electricity.
How old are the engines? Compared to most videos they are dead quiet for what they are.
Why did you keep that start button press for so long?
