Fun fact : The spaces between the hull and tank are serviceable with crawl passages. You can also enter right under the tank and crawl into no man's land to swap a pt100 sensor. Got to do it once and it was an experience to be had as a service Engineer.
I remember crawling through the tanks of old ships back in the day. The further you got from the manhole, the scarier it got. Your mind starts to play tricks on you.
scary
Gotta watch those confined spaces though. Water tight also means air tight. Air tight means no oxygen. You'll pass out and anyone who comes to rescue you will too.
@Phil Well would a confined space not be subject to the confined space protocols preventing you from entering to begin with? If you some how did enter will those that come to rescue you not have an air set on though?
@@jackchapo2011 LoL Jack. I'm thinking back to the rust bucket tramp freighter I once crewed. If we'd had safety procedures, they would have been used to roll cigarettes. 😁
Love how in the presentation the engine looks insanely small but actually standing next to it is probably like being right next to a commercial airliner
It seems quite big keeping in mind how big the ship is
I am working at VLCC tankers 332 m lenght and 60 width. When it is fully loaded its 300 000 tons of displacement. Engine is basically 5 flat apartment
As mentioned elsewhere in the comments, apart from a few minor details this is a nicely put together and informative video that gives anyone unfamiliar with tankships a good basic understanding of the principal. It's nicely presented and thought out without being overly long or technical. I'll be saving this, along with checking out some other videos from 3D.
Thank you for understanding, putting things in orders and helping viewers to easily follow through is my intention. It still has flaws and I am working on it.
Biden marketing Russians submerines cruiser ships etc etc,Biden showing regularly Russian Armours weapons as Americans products and on that productivity he showing his USD$ fake atrengthening
Love the attention to detail on the oil "free surface effect" simulation section. Not many channels put in that much effort.
Very educational and detailed. Love the breakdown of different structures and subsystems. Amazing how we have documentary quality content easily accessible for free these days :)
I crewed a VLCC in the late sixties and the seventies…. Shell M boats, so named because their names all began with the letter M. Interesting fact it was possible to see the hull flexing up and down in heavy seas. A bit disconcerting when one first sees it…Crew comfort was pretty good for the period. With self contained cabins that included a bathroom/toilet etc. great days of my youth…
Especially the loading pattern was interesting and logical by even out the stresses on hul and balancing the ship at the same time 👍
I wish there was a ship simulator on the same level as Flight Simulator 2020 where there are real routes of various types of cargo and passenger ships with perfect simulation of water physics in storms causing rough seas and massive waves breaking on the hull making huge sprays of water all over the deck and hitting the bridge's glass... it would be magnificent!
I don't think anybody would want to play an entire week for each single trip
@@bobincognito6239 it could be speed up... just like in msfs
@@bobincognito6239 ngl I would
I just found this video on youtube, I love it, so many things i did no know about tankers, I worked in the US Merchant Marine on several oil tankers and did not realize how complicated these ships were, retired now and subscribed to learn more. Thanks for the upload,
Thank you for your support!
Thank you for this one sir. I work on tanker and I appreciate it so much!
This is amazing! I recently began getting interested in the topic of global supply chain and I was wondering how oil was transported. I was recommended this video and it perfectly explains the mechanics of these modes of transport. It's not an abstract idea anymore. Please keep making these educational videos - I instantly subscribed!
Nice video! I was an officer on oil tankers for over 30 years. One small correction is that you called the navigational bridge the "control room". The cargo control room is actually located on a lower deck somewhere inside the house.
Ahh yeah, I was too focusing on other details and forgot to correct that part. Mistakes happened sometimes, Good catch 👍
With this video we are able to understand the typical arrangements of all the tanks and basic of pipeline distribution system which is hard to get through books. Thanks.
Just found your channel and after watching this video immediately subscribed! What a gem!
loved the way it is narrated.... curated to the viewers....mainly the part explaining about the color of the oil.
Oil tankers has always been a mistery up to this very explanatory video.
Thanks for it and take care of yourself.
Great video really appreciate the production you did
One thing I was going to add being the current state of the world's energy markets between a bigger oil tanker and a smaller oil tanker is how Russia is getting around it's oils restrictions by taking its smaller tankers going out into the Mediterranean and just filling up differently flagged bigger tankers and then selling the oil as if it came from somewhere else
But that's only a small aspect of the big tanker versus smaller tanker relationship
Great content, easy to teach and understand. Well done and many thanks!
Another fantastic video from this channel. So much effort and work on each video. Quality content like thiss on RUclips is scarce!
Good to see a easy to understand view of a tanker. I don't often see breakdowns of tanker design.
There is one correction you might make. From the manifold there are drop lines to the bottom lines so there is no need to route through the pumps. The bottom lines fill the tanks by using valves to open and close the required tanks with the segragations as you describe. This way the vessel uses the energy of the shore pumps to fill its tanks. Loading through the pumps is possible but it causes unnecessary wear on the cargo pumps and is slower loading than using the drop lines. Normally only used in emergency if there is an issue with bottom valves.
Thanks for this video. In 1970 I was a radio officer on a VLCC. I never knew much about the function of the ship as I was only concerned with safety of life messages and and commercial messages. One time in the Indian Ocean we had to go over a Tsunami wave at an angle of 45 degrees. The 300 metre deck rose up into the air in front of the ship and then moved down the opposite side.
Shown is a VLCC type, the only type of crude vessel sailing with cargo tanks in the centre as well as the wing tanks. Some modifications - bridge wings are missing, you need to be able to see the side of the ship from the bridge for mooring. The pipe rack has many less pipes forward of the centre manifold area. When loading the cargo passes from the manifold down the drop line to the bottom line. Oil is not loaded via the pump-room as shown. Hope that helps - have a look at my VLCC "Solana".
"The control room" (1:33) is called "the bridge".
I appreciate the explanation of all the pipes on the deck.
The ship's cargo pumps are not used in loading. The pumps are used for discharging cargo. There are drop lines that run from the cargo manifold to the cargo lines at the bottom of the cargo tanks through which the cargo is being loaded. These same lines at the bottom of the tanks are used as suction lines when pumping the cargo off.
The cranes at the manifold are there primarily for the handling of cargo hoses. The cranes are sized based on the handling of cargo hoses. The handling of ship stores is a secondary function. There are cranes near the accommodation block aft, whose primary function is the handling of stores.
.
Thank you for correcting and contribution of your knowledge!
On top of that, the use of "control room" to describe the bridge is wrong. A control room on a ship is usually low down, next to the engine room. The engine control room.
@HonkForThatcher I agree. Larger ships are also fitted with Cargo Control rooms where cargo loading and discharge, ballast loading and discharge, inert gas, and the ship's loading computer are located.
With that said, I know of ships that had their Engine and Cargo Control Room equipment on the bridge. The last tankers I was involved with had computers that were linked through a common system. With the correct passcodes, you could log into any terminal for control.
It's amazing what people are able to design and build today.
Lucius,
Nice content. I'm definitely subscribing and looking forward to your upcoming videos. Thank you, I love this type of stuff!
everything is very brief and very to the point!
Love the background music!! Nice choice, thanks!
You could do, "what's inside the Capitol?" I think it's a beautiful building☺️
Hello, awesome friend,
The 8 min video has taught us much useful and amazing knowledge of which some I have never heard of before.
Thanks.
Great animation. I especially love the animation of the free surface sloshes around❤ what tool did you use to make it?
And I have one little remark on the explanation: fse is not about the impact on the ship‘s hull but about the transverse shift of the centre of gravity, increasing the list.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, I used 3ds max
Cool. I use Blender. Still learning to make it look good
🕵♀🔧🚢 That's an interesting insight into the inner workings of an oil tanker! While it may be fascinating for service engineers to navigate crawl passages and access hard-to-reach areas, it also raises questions about safety and maintenance procedures. Ensuring the integrity of oil tankers is crucial for preventing environmental disasters and protecting marine ecosystems. It would be intriguing to learn more about the rigorous maintenance protocols and safety measures in place to ensure the smooth operation of these massive vessels.
Very nicely and smoothly explained, which easily understandable. Thanks. Excellent, very knowledgeable article, even for a layman .
Very well explained ! Thank you 🙏
Very nicely and smoothly explained, which easily understandable. Thanks
that was actually pretty cool and didn't know a lot of that, thankyou
Thanks, Lucus, for a neat presentation.
i'm not really into this stuff but i gotta be honest, this is really interesting to watch
Brilliant!! I’ve always wondered about this
Thank you for another video. Maybe you could do one on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I have to do a school project on it and it is quite interesting. Thank you
Thank you for the best information, clear and perfect
Excellent, very knowledgeable article, even for a layman ❤😊
*extremely* interesting and informative video, thanks! this channel is mad slept-on...lol, for now. 😎👍
Excellent presentation. Wish this video is part of the library for Management trainees about to start their careers in Oil Industry . Learning becomes so easy with this kind of animated presentation. Well done !!
Good video, I sailed as pumpman and tankerman for several years
Crude oil is not green, yellow or purple folks! It's black! 😂I love these videos Lucius. You've got 50,000 subscribers with just 14 videos posted. That's alright! I imagine they take a long time to produce. Hope to see more soon!
I also have some other works outside of RUclips, that's why it took a little too long. One day, I'll be able to go full time on RUclips. Also this type of content required a lot of time for 3d modeling and rendering. Thanks a lot for supporting!
I like this video, quality content like thiss on youtube is scarce! 👍
Next Bulk Carrier, LNG Tanker, Container Ship and Cruise Ship Please 🙏🏻
Very good suggestions!
@@3DLivingStudio nice selection of background music. Sometimes it ruins a video
You explained in very detailed.
Very informative
so well explained, thank you
Thank you for your video, you have a new member in the channel.
This is a great video for learning more about offshore vessels. Hope you can produce some video about military vessels
Thank you Lucius, that was very informative and cool 3d graphics
Your voice is so much better. It's perfect for these videos, and you have such a wonderful cadence and inflection, while conveying a genuine interest in the subject. I sincerely hope that you bring your wonderful voice back.
I'm glad to know that my voice is not that bad. Perhaps, I will bring back my voice when I invest in some new mic and noise filter, etc. Right now, I have very limited resources for high quality audio.
You don't need a new mic or filter or anything. You just need your own natural relaxing voice that has been perfectly fine and wonderful for all your previous videos. You have all the resources you need! :-)
Very informative video. Thank you so much.
Actually the control room is below deck running the machinery. What you mentioned is called the Bridge, where window lookers spent their time being served coffee, unless they need to eat or sleep. ;)
ships are awesome! i love ships!
With such an amazing and simplifying explanation i will definitely subscribe
Thank you for the clear explanation indeed
Appreciate the work ❤
Maybe, In the next video you can explain why the Bridge and Living quarters are on the stern. Why Bulk Carriers on the great lakes have them in the bow?
Great video, thanks!
What an amazing engineering 😮
great animation and narrative
Woooow fantastic sir….. this is the we won’t… your giving best information for all world peoples ❤
Hi congratulations, good job you have done with the video and explanations. The understanding is very clear. Can you make a video explaining about lower vessels that transport CPP products? Thank you.
love how the name of the is warning!
I love videos like this, i love tankers! Thanks to those people, who gave life to these beautiful ships!👍😀⚓
very enlightening !
i am in to ship recycling and this is informative-impressive. specially tank filling info
@@ithecastic I am from India and in summer we have 45• temperature
@@ithecastic here also when temp goes 45 government declares heat warning but no one dies 😀
really high quality engineering video lecture,greatly appericiated sir .
Thank you very much for your kindness.
Do more of these fr more ships like LPG’s or product tankers
I would like to see 3D Living Studio do an upload on container ships.
Only flaws I noticed was the cargo control room, that is usually several decks below the bridge.
But I have only been on board like a hundred ships, so It could be diffrent on most others.
Only ships I have been on board with a control room on the bridge is.... canal gas tankers and a few similar gas tankers.... and a few chemical/product tankers.
The pumps are for discharging the cargo.... not loading.
And unless you are talking of ships from the 70's..... Shuttle tankers filling up from a buoy, often do so from the bottom or front, and not from the manifolds on the sides we connect to at shore.
Informative; thank you!
COW or Crude Oil Washing is the most dangerous part of the process of moving crude oil. Using some of the cargo, the oil is heated to a suitable temp and sprayed with fixed nozzles to clean the residue from the tanks. If you think this creates a explosive atmosphere you would be correct, also, the spray of hot crude oil causes lighting to occur in the tanks while cleaning, so there is an ignition source. They used to figure that there was insufficient oxygen in the tank, displaced by the explosive and flammable gases cause by the crude oil washing, or water washing used previously, to pose a danger. Except, tankers were going missing at sea, presumably while cleaning tanks on the way to pick up an new load.
So, the exhaust gases from the stack are now captured, washed and pumped into the tanks to create an Inert Gas System to prevent tankers from blowing up. COW and IGS are two important systems used in modern tankers that reduced pollution enormously. The atmosphere of the tanks is closely monitored, because you have a explosive atmosphere, there is an ignition source, and if for any reason, the tanks are not filled with inert gas. Boom. My experience was, good people, good food, but long hours, dangerous conditions and poor pay.
Beautiful explanation of my childhood mystery 😅😁👍
Great, thanks.
Please make a video on oil spill kit.
Really enjoy these videos keep it up 👍
Amazing! Tks
Very informative.
Valuable video.
great effort! keep it up. kudos

Very informative video, thanks for all you've done. Please make video about underground mine structure and working principle
good suggestions!
Thank you.
Very informative and well explained
Thank you, great work!
One remark though: the cranes are used on oil tankers to handle the cargo hoses
really great work, just awesome video to give information easily
Very good job.
