Hopefully more ships get satellite internet for the crew with the availability of starlink coverage and hardware these days.

Currently in search of cadetship please help

@DarkAttack14 has a Point That Cargo Ships should be Nuclear and while Docked they can provide Energy to Countries.... and 2. They can discard the Nuclear Waste at (Point Nemo) Pole of inaccessibility and Ducie Island's when they used up the fuel source.

Shit happens.

Fuckin awesome video. Watermen get it.

I wish to sail with you makaoi

Good Day Chief, How to start my career in Marine Engineering, I'm a mechanical engineer from Egypt interested in maritime life and ships machineries.

AYUS KOI

You have to wonder at Magellan's passage through here. How many times did his route go wrong? No GPS only guided by the stars. Unknown areas where it's too shallow. It's just amazing .

Hello Chief, How is industry cooping with rising sea water temperature in engine room.

Chief MAKOi rules!

I'm now researching the installation of the Sasakura distillation plant model v50 for fishing boats. I only saw videos showing how it works, and nobody in the comment sections offered any insight on the installation process. Self-study once more 😅.

Chief Good morning Iam facing issue with too much water content. But v5 water drain valve drains the water only for first 10 minutes whenever trigger value is 100. I want the drain valve to operate also after 10 minutes. Can u please help me how to change this setting. Because Iam producing too much sludge and I want to make better use of v5 drain valve since my fuel analysis is very good except for the increased water content.

Baka magtulungan NYU Ako any idea to be a seaferer

Naiinsfire pOH Ako sa inyu ser..Ng aaply din pOH Ako to be seaferer...

marine engineer..? nobody will remember you..most of the people in the office will only acknowledge the captain...

All of those bags of sugar placed in the container each look like they're no bigger than a pack of matches

Hi Chief, I have an Industry question I’m hoping you could answer. When it comes to cleaning & chemical products, how does a vessel go about resupplying? I’m the North Carolina Director for a chemical manufacturer and have wanted our company to move into the maritime market since I began, as I’ve always loved the sea and the people who work in it. I am curious if the manufacturer is responsible for storing product until the vessel arrives, or if shipping companies have dedicated storage facilities awaiting their vessels along various ports. Thanks Chief, I hope you and your crew have a blessed week!

Great video! I would like to toss another description in the mix, namely, days and days of routine with a few minutes of sheer terror thrown in, just to make sure that you're awake and paying attention. ;-)

More power to your channel Chief and hope 1 day mameet kita kht man lng sa Tampa Florida if may byahe ka in the future

Chief buti na lng naipply ko ang experience ko sa barko dito sa local airport sa Florida,USA..kht d ako pinalad sa pagbbarko nakapunta naman ako dito sa US gawa ni mrs and more than 8 yrs na ako dito as a Fuel Farm Tech Supervisor and dito na rin cguro ako magrretire gawa ng affiliated amg airport namin ng local county so maganda ang benefits..

That's some Ode to Marine Engineering. I like it. Also, It's always interesting how the ship slowly changes when you come aboard, Chief. I've seen most of your videos and some ships were already in pretty nice shape, but they start looking better. Even the spaces on the rusted old bulk-carrier from a few years ago looked a lot cleaner and tidier before you changed to a different ship. That's the kind of things one notices and says "Yeah, he's one of the good ones." Cheers.

Chief, are you on US flagged ships?

Mas 2024 lmg ba andidito

Very nice Chief 👍 Watching from Philippines

So what's wrong with using Starlink? It seems cheap enough especially for a small group of people.

Im currently doing my cadetship as a deck cadet, but my heart keeps saying i made the wrong choice, i should have gone for the marine engineering. I always feel happy when entering engine room seeing machineries and the system.

Ito un kupal n chief engineer n nagpost kong anong meron s Thailand eh hnd b nman gago

Translation for voices at 14:20 : "Keep it centered! Keep the top centered; (or else) it will snag!"

Thank you Chief MAKOi. I started watching your videos when I was still studying and you were a great motivation. I am now a qualified marine engineer and currently serving aboard a dredging vessel.

Marine Engineering just sounds fancy. But it's a worst job. You have to stay in ship for several months away from land & your family. Those young people, don't listen & watch this video. Find another career, there are many lucrative professions in landbase that won't pull you away from your family for long several months or even a year while earning for a living. I'd been a marine engineer for past 20 years but I've given it up now. I'm just doing landbase job, enjoying the company of family, relatives & friends. Life is too short to go out in the sea, work over there. That's doofus of you if you do that. Yeah, you may say I had been a doofus too to be a marine engineer, I accept that.

Thanks!

I was in the Electrical Trade industry for forty odd years (Marine and Shore based) and I can tell you that this type of connector is not really suitable in high vibration areas (just my opinion). Old school, but I much prefer to screw down on a conductor. Also found in many locations that the installer using ferrules to terminate the cable neglected to actually crimp the ferrule, relying on the connector to do that job. Thank you Chief for your report, you bring back many memories.

You’re a good dude

Thanks Chief! Great job as always.

Filipino o migrate

Great video, thanks for sharing. You learn something new every day.

My dad and three of his brothers all had Chief Engineer licenses on Great Lakes Freighters. Dad echoed the same sentiment," the captain says where we're going, but the engineer says if we're going".

This reminds me of my time on a US Coast Guard Cutter in the north atlantic. Not fun.

Chief MAKOi - is it normal/detailed in the MAN instructions to bench-pressure-test the removed fuel valve and to reduce the values? Or is it just the practice on your ship or for your own M-PMS? Hopefully you'll see this message!

If I were 22 instead of 52, I'd seriously consider a career in marine engineering. I love machinery, fixing things, problem solving, creative solutions, and I wouldn't mind being at sea for long stretches of time (I never had nor wanted kids). I think I'd have made a good marine engineer.

Came for specific practical industry insights, but instead watched an informercial

works like a cycklone

Awesome. I must commend you chief. Am a mechanical engineer and I have passion for seafarering career. In line with my passion have gotten all necessary documents. Am seeking for placement as apprenticeship or cadetship, any help Chief Makoi

4:48 Or 6 hours before, also fun fact in the 1940s it used to be called bunker sea oil but now it’s just called fuel oil. Which makes a lot of sense as there’s no bunkers to put the oil in so the bunker was removed from the name and Sea well it was just changed to fuel, but the name oil stayed obviously.

How many basketballs did you loose to the sea?

Please am new in marine so what I have done before is only cylinder head,piston, blower,oil cooler I want to learn more from u guys

well presented Chief!!!

Can you do a video about what downtime is really like in the middle of the ocean, weeks from the next port? No internet and you can't leave your place of work for months at a time? The career seems fun and challenging, but the downtime seems kinda of depressing.
