Engine room

The holy place !  The heart of the ship!  OK, forgive me but I’m an engineer by education after all.  Nevertheless, this is a real great engineroom.  Very spacious (appreciated by folks who actually have to work in it), well layed-out and with great equipment.  At the heart an awesome 9 cylinder Deutz 628 main engine running at about 700 rpm at cruise speed (12 kn) driving a 3.6 m (12 ft.) prop.  For a some general pictures and background info, first see the engine room section of my blog.

If you still want more detailed engine stuff thrown at you, continue below :-) .

Let’s start with the work shop.    Also roomy.  In the back 4 fuel tanks (2x 12 m3; 2x 6 m3).  The 2 big ones will stay dry to meet MCA stability requirements.  The 2 small ones will be converted into jet fuel storage tanks.

And here is a start with the engine room.  More to come of course :-) .
