The video above gives good insight into the diesel - electric power plant of the RCCL
cruise ship Oasis of the Seas. The ship uses diesel engines to turn generators that
produce electricity. The electricity is used to power azimuthing pods mounted
beneath the vessel. ABB, formerly known as Asea Brown Boveriimanufactures them.

Surveys by the American Bureau of Shipping ,or Det Norske Veritas and other
classification societies are used to keep such vessels compliant with regs. For the
engineer who wishes to come ashore, surveyor jobs are a career shifting option.

The RCCL giant Oasis of the Sea (Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Jobs) uses bow
thrusters to enhance its maneuverability in close quarters ship handling operations.
In addition to traditional marine propulsion, marine engineers must understand
azimuthing pods and such thrusters. Thrustmasters produces thrusters.

If you view the video above, you'll
get a quick tour of the machinery
spaces and dry docking of Royal
Caribbean Cruise Line's Oasis of
the Seas. Aside from the mind
boggling dimensions of the ship,
she is different from traditional
ships in her propulsion system.
She has six Wartsila diesel
engines (above) that generate
power that energize the motors
(below) that turn propellers in three
azipods beneath the ship. In
addition to powering these unique
azimuthing drives supplied by ABB,
formerly known as Asea Brown
Boveri (link above to their
employment section), the electrical
output is used to power four bow
thrusters whose rating is
approximately 30,000 horsepower.

Technical Jobs - Propulsion Equipment
There are many technical jobs dealing with
ship's propulsion equipment. Most of them
require technical competence in some
aspect of the equipment, such as
operations, maintenance, installation and
rigging, manufacturer's customer service
rep, commissioning, design or inspection
and surveying. The jobs may be
multidisciplinary and depending on the
employer, can require travel from port to port
to rendezvous with a ship. Several
manufacturers in this area are highlighted
above in the descriptive caption beneath the
Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Oasis of the
Seas. These include diesel engine
manufacturers, electric motor and electric
drive manufacturers as well as classification
societies. It is apparent that since the days
of the early 20th century ocean liner pictured
below in the cutaway plan, diesels and
electrical drive systems have come a long
way since the days of the basic boiler and
triple expansion steam engine.
