Tank Ullage - Daily job on Ships (Demonstration and Calculation)
Daily tank sounding and ullage is the job of the ratings and cadets on ships!
Ships have irregular shaped tanks and with all the movements of working at sea its difficult to know how much liquid is inside, so we use sounding and ullage methods to monitor them manually!
Lets learn a simple job with a big impact onboard.
Please consider viewing the previous sounding videos to fully understand the concept of manually checking volume in tanks! T ank sounding demonstration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsZcMhw6_GQ&t=1s

The Shrimp to Shark is back sharing a small video about Centrifugal pumps and mechanical seals!
Centrifugal pumps are critical in so many systems in the engine room! Therefore all engine cadets and engineers will work on them!
Its good to have theory and curiosity on how they work therefore lets work together to change the mechanical seal on a leaking pump, and learn some things while doing it.
Success and nothing else my friends I hope to share more of my life at sea little by little (Im working on a cruise ship now!)

As they produce our vital fluid from seawater they get fouled by salt deposits therefore we engine room team must work hard to ensure our FWG are consistently producing high quality distillate water for our passengers or crew.
