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.

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

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.

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 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,

Your voice is so much better! This robotic voice kept mispronouncing cofferdam. It’s annoying.

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!

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.

Thank you for this one sir. I work on tanker and I appreciate it so much!

[ajaygovinds]

loved the way it is narrated.... curated to the viewers....mainly the part explaining about the color of the oil.

[MRAWESOME]

Love the attention to detail on the oil "free surface effect" simulation section. Not many channels put in that much effort.

It's amazing what people are able to design and build today.

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.

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.

Another fantastic video from this channel. So much effort and work on each video. Quality content like thiss on Youtube is scarce!

[RahulSingh-pele]

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.

[Joemonster]

Just found your channel and after watching this video immediately subscribed! What a gem!

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.
