Looking Yap and his place of work, namely the size of Aframax oil tanker
There is a lot of letters and photos. The end will tell. Please do not tear.
We used their own and other people's photos (hope "alien" will not mind)))
Photographer me so that even on the camera down will not sin))

Not the biggest size (picture comparison)



Designed for the transport of hundreds of folk oil bastards gourmet



In this contract (in fact, as in previous ones) working in time-charter in one of the oil company with the letter W on the short arm and the scope of this card is not traveled. For a sailor it is not very (often mooring strain. We Bring transitions least for a week!



I sudovod, so the tour will start from the navigation bridge



Helm. Just like in a car. No pedals.



In such an electronic card ride. The truth is that due to organizational problems, they can not be used as the primary means of navigation. Base - paper maps.



The reception of GMDSS. Radio equipment, satellite and not.



Work mess 2nd assistant. Preparing the transition to the next pad.



Meanwhile, the sun was rising ...



Guess the city in a song ....
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines



Such "crutches" tanker is connected to the shore line for loading / unloading. There may be a little more may be hoses ...



Here I have lived the last four-plus months ... Collected chumodany ready to go home.
Places like enough, toilet / shower in the kit included. Especially helps the couch, because when it starts a mad rolling on the bed to sleep, and sometimes just to stay, it is impossible.



Here we cook food. Galley ie. Prepare chef, Chef 2nd helping, covers, washing dishes, etc.

Sitting-area. Generally not used as a universal obnoutbuchivaniem TV DVD does not roll. In Soviet times, the courts were even movie theaters. Cinema, however, most of it was propaganda genre.
The young lady in the portrait - godmother vessel. So it should!



Paragraph cargo control (abbreviated Pugo). From here you can manage the opening of almost all valves cargo and ballast systems, pump operation.
If anyone has any questions on freight operations - ask



Here you can see the approximate location of the cargo and ballast tanks. This tanker 6 pairs of cargo tanks + 2 SLOP tanks. 3 independent shipping lines ... greenbacks - ballast system



Here, the scheme that is in the pumping (pump) + pump control department.



Commercial computer, which shows the levels in tanks, temperature, speed of loading operations, precipitation (not those atmospheric) etc.



Dressing + smoking room. As you can see here, we also glass tubes) With smoking tankers severely. This is the only place where smoking is allowed (not always the case, but we did not smoke the captain, so it is)



In view of the fact that the bottom-up stomping floors (decks) eight, there is a lift.



Let's go out for a walk ...
Our main rescue vehicle - a boat. On the other side is the same. Oddly enough, it can fit 30 people. Inside is kept minimum necessary supply



View back from about the middle.
The phallic thing standing on the deck (each tank), is used to control the vapor pressure of the cargo. When (raspizdyaystve) achievement of certain pressure / vacuum it opens in the appropriate direction. What could be accompanied by a small, but very unpleasant oil spill, or hit the air in the tank (which is a fire hazard). In all the time supported by tanks inert atmosphere in order to avoid large n
The oxygen content should not exceed 8%. Usually keeps in the region of 4%. For this is the inert gas system, which pumps up the atmosphere in the tanks roughly cleaned and cooled exhaust gas marine boilers.



This mooring winches. Such tank 4, 4 at the stern. The ends we (and some, and eggs) steel.



Look out a bit overboard ...



The circulatory system of the tanker (this is only a small part, visible from the outside)



Look back ....



By the way the use of electronic devices on the open deck is forbidden, therefore I click on this one stimpankovsky camera down, which is approved for use in explosive environments. Worth 2500 EUREKA



The bottom .... Lower deck pump-room. Pumps right. 3 centrifugal, capacity of 3000 m3 / h each.



I have probably already tired, so quickly drop to penostantsiyu, ran to the engine room and finish))
This foam concentrate tank for fire fighting. Also in this room are kept fire suits, breathing apparatus, fire extinguishers spare. From here you can start any fire-fighting equipment (ECW pumps, carbon dioxide extinguishing system, etc.), To stifle all mechanisms using quick-valve operating on fuel block ventilation.
(Can anyone remember the movie Speed ​​2, where a passenger liner swept over the city, and no one could stop him .... There did not seem to know about the above-mentioned valve)



Still lives here ... it used to alarm, as an object of evacuation)



All right ... go to the engine-compartment



6-cylinder power dizelek 15,400 horses. Eats about 25 tons of fuel oil per day (if you do not water too much)



Cauldron. Produces steam for the needs of the ship (the turbines, heating, etc.)



Here, mechanics, all run



Our power station. For the daily needs of ship missing one of the diesel generators. When maneuvering, or other special operations included a second. Third in reserve.



And finally, perhaps the most interesting photos. A couple of years ago there were repairs ...



So paint killed 5 years of operation



Hard at work ...



Now another thing!



Screw even painted special paint based on silicone for less resistance



Well, almost truncated!
Those interested can ask all sorts of questions. If possible answer.
The truth is somewhere nearby !!!
