Ce que couvre cette vidéo
After a 10-year rebuild, the former fishing trawler *Brupeg* completed its maiden ocean passage from Bundaberg Port Marina to Gladstone, Australia.1:09 The 13-hour, 8-knot transit served as a shakedown cruise to test the vessel’s new engine, gearbox, and stabilizer system.5:57 During the passage, the crew performed engine room checks every 30 minutes, monitoring temperatures for the alternator, sump, and stern gland, while manually adding grease to lubricate moving parts.7:35 The white-painted engine room allowed the crew to quickly identify and tighten a loose fitting causing a minor oil leak.36:51 While the boat pitched in head seas, the stabilizers significantly reduced rolling in beam seas.5:15 The crew navigated using Navionics on an iPad and maintained connectivity via Starlink.17:14 The vessel arrived in Gladstone and successfully secured to a swing mooring for the first time.35:05 The trial confirmed the engine’s reliability under load, though the crew identified a need for a permanent ventilation system and a more robust data-logging setup for engine sensors.8:39
