Thank you f*ing youtube for taking away all captions and explanations that took me hours to factor in years ago in your infinite wisdom.

Loved that ship, only traveled on her twice in 2003, but it was amazing ❤️

Thanks much for this. I was also a navy man (many years ago) and an engineer (Machinist's Mate) who spent a lot of his time in the engine room and auxiliary power room of a Knox class Destroyer Escort. Watching this was very entertaining and a bit nostalgic, as well. Also, not much clearance in those shaft alleys. Our shaft was about a meter five and we had plenty of room to work around it. The reason I know is because I spent a month chipping paint in ours. ;-)

That shaft alley looks very scary to a layman like me. Insane amount of power going through that shaft combined with very high noise levels and limited space would make it really stressful to work in there. 😬

Tunnettiin myös Veikon Koneena konepäällikkö Veikko Haapasen johdosta.

I HEARD MY FATHER IN THE BACKGROUND! He was an engineer on the ship

First machinery you didn't know was compressor for air conditioning or fridges, second thing you thought to be fuel pump was actually fuel oil separator. So sad video ended just when nice turbo blowing and diesel engine roaring started to be close :)

Beauty, slim and fast😁.

The one and only GTS Finnjet 1977 was installed with twin Pratt & Withney FT 4C-1 DLF gas turbines of ca 75 000 HP & with aux diesel engines she could reach speeds up to well over 33 knots just like the old Atlantic steamers did in the golden era 1930's to 1950's.

Not quite. She maxed out at 30.5 kts. They would mix 1 turbine with 1 diesel for about 23kts and diesel only 18kts. However never both turbines plus diesel. Though technically possible for a combined 93.000 HP this was never attempted as the hull limited the speed, not the power. Fuel consumption running turbines was 5L/ sec and she needed to be in water at least 28m deep to run them. Otherwise they would cavitate. Because of the shallow waters off Travemünde they could only start the turbines about 1h 40min into the journey. Rostock did not pose this limitation.

Wow, nice video from places that an cruisepassenger hardly gets! Was Finnjet going full steam 30 knots on that situation? Great ship, great memories. Sadly the scrapping started so fast that they didnt have time to save it back to Finland! :/

i dont remember anymore at what speed it was going. Yes, its very sad... we knew many of the crew as my dad was radio officer in another finnlines ship, very good friends with the chief engineer. I remember one of the crewmen expressed to us the following sentence: "theyre putting the worlds fastest ship on the worlds shortest route" - which was a reference to plans putting finnjet on the helsinki talinn route.. not what the crew had signed up for... the finnjet was still around when the estonia desaster happened if my memory does not betray me it also participated in the rescue efforts lead by ms mariella.

nope. but all people shown in the movie did not suffer hearing damage until their death. Me and my brother and father are still alive, i am 54 - and so far my hearing is ok. Anyhow "dont do this at home" people :) --- A quick walk through there is not a big deal. People go to rock concerts more often than machinerooms. But for the professionals it would probably be smart to wear "mickeymouse-ears"
