Didn't think cargo vessels had such comfortable and luxurious quarters. The ship is clean and tidy and the rooms are huge

[@eliasl.6902]

It's not all the cargo vessels like that. It's mainly the Container Ships that have huge quarters because of the required height that the bridge needs in order to be able to have a good view, due to the loading of the containers on deck of course. Because of that some extra space that can be used is created in the accommodation area. Other smaller vessels, like handy or kamsarmax bulk carriers etc usually have smaller quarters.

As a US Navy Sonar Technician, I served aboard two Knox Class Frigates during the Cold War, the USS Brewton out of Pearl Harbor, and the USS Hewes homeported in Charleston. I liked Charleston, mainly because I'm from Gastonia, North Carolina (which is 4 hours north by car). My daughter had her wedding on the beach in Charleston awhile back. The traffic is out of control in the summer months! I also took a Boy Scout Troop down to Patriot's Point to tour the military ships moored there. Several scouts earned their Aviation Merit Badge there. We berthed aboard the USS Yorktown overnight. Quite an adventure, even for an old salt like me! I have to say, I miss being at sea. Fair Winds!

Thank you for your service! I love being in Charleston and it continues to grow at an incredible rate everyday. There are plans now to even build a major Coast Guard base here.

Nice one Bryan. Reminds me very much of my time as 3/O. Don't neglect your career - be reliable and consistent for your managers in your own job, study the ships systems and SMS, get that coffee on for the C/O and Master and get the Mate to introduce you to the next step. Push for it, work out of hours with/for him(or her indeed!). Treat every day as appraisal day. Set the goal of your next college period for your next licence, even if its several years seatime yet. Never ever snitch on your colleagues or stand on someone elses head to make yourself look good. Then get that Harbour Pilots job! Fair winds and following seas!

[@BryanBoyle]

I served in the British Merchant Navy (Deep Sea) from 1969 to 1999 so found this a very interesting video. The only real difference being we had no computer systems in those days and of course no GPS, navigation was done with a sextant, a chronometer and the relevent nautical tables. Meals were not self service, the meals were brought to the table by the Mess Steward. When we signed 'Articles', they were 2 year articles although in practice the longest trip I ever did was 10 months (although the company could keep you on board for 2 years). One thing that has improved is communication with home, to send and receive a letter from the UK would take a minimum 6 weeks, with mobile phones I doubt few seafarers write letters nowadays?

[@cbarnettcti123]

I really enjoyed seeing all the details. In fact, I would have liked even more details. What I took away from this is that if everything is routine, that's good. But I can see that the system is organized to spot problems before they become critical.

Sounds really easy when you put that way. There are many cons, specially if your ship take long, international routes. It depends on what kind of person you are, as in any profession.
