Container Ship Engine Room Tour

Container Ship Engine Room Tour

Watch keeping is an integral part of marine engineer’s duties on board ship. A lot of maintenance work can be reduced by following an efficient watch keeping routine in the ship’s engine room. Moreover, it can also avoid serious accidents from taking place. But what is the true yard stick for measuring the efficiency of a watch keeping procedure?

A smooth running ship is a product of efficient handling at the bridge and effective management in the engine room under any seagoing condition. When a marine engineer is approved to be the in charge of the engine room, he is eligible and officially authorised to handle a ship’s engine of “Unlimited Power”.  It is therefore important that the watch keeping procedure, a daily routine that has to be carried out every single day, is done in the most systematic manner to prevent any kind of breakdown.

This Video is shot by Marine Engineer Arjun Kalra in a container ship- MSC MATILDE. He has brilliantly covered all the important engine room machinery and systems right from tunnel to funnel (Top to Bottom). If you are a new bee, this is a must watch video to understand how the engine room of a cargo ship looks like. 

Thank You Arjun Kalra for submitting this video.
