    I can't seem to find any pictures or film of the engine room or crew quarters or even the wheel house of a 141m x 22m cargo vessel? Does anyone have a link I could investigate? I'm doing my homework and I need some up to date pics as I'm rusty as hell.

    Those are incredibly specific dimensions, do you have a particular ship in mind?

    I am currently on an Anchor Handler 80m X 18m, 13000kW. I can get you pictures or short clips (phone camera) but I wont be able to mail them until I'm home circa end of April, if that will help.

    I should have said 'similar to say a 141m x 22m' what I actually meant was not the enormous ships that it is relatively easy to find footage of on the interwebz...

    That would be perfect, if you could manage it, thank you.

    Just give me a list of areas and items and I'll see what I can do. Nuclear reactor is off limits though :P

    I would really like to get an idea of the sizes/scales of the common rooms, corridors, gangways and of the room in the cabins themselves. Design, layout, space usage, artificial/natural lighting, etc., I would like to be able to contrast that to the engine bay layout.

    It would want to be some special cargo to warrant a fusion reactor to power the vessel, but as they say, whatever floats your boat.......:D
