[@macthedrummer1]

Cool deck tour.

[@emmo_93]

@@macthedrummer1 thank you 😊

[@truckermre]

Another excellent video brother! Some good looking food 😁. I have the same feeling as you… crossing Challenger Deep must be an eerie feeling. Enjoy your downtime and I’ll b Lookin forward to the next one. Keep smiling!!

[@emmo_93]

@truckermre yeah it's amazing to think it's 10km deep below me. Thank you I think I'm heading back out just before New Years

[@truckermre]

Woot!! I’ll try to watch this tomorrow when I’m back on the road!

[@emmo_93]

@truckermre hello again 😊 great to see you. Welcome back and I hope you enjoy

[@Lyle-tm1tm]

Very interesting. Thanks for posting, I love learning new things. In a previous video you said you help treat the wood, are you able to post a video showing how you do that?

[@emmo_93]

@@Lyle-tm1tm can't video during that process as I'm geared up in protective gear 😁 I just enjoy showing people what it's like on board and how life is like 😊

Loved the ship tour!!

[@emmo_93]

@Dinngg0 thank you I'm glad you enjoyed. I guess people are curious as to what it's like inside one of these. This one has 5 floors but some panamax, cape size and container ships are up to 8 or 9 floors high and have elevators inside

Another great video which as usual was very interesting. I tried to track you on Marine Tracker but you were already berthed in Incheon. Enjoyed the footage of the pilot boarding. Always look forward to your bulk carrier tours.

[@emmo_93]

@GeorgeMichael-uy1bm arrived yesterday 😊 very cold here but refreshing. Welcome back great to see you again

Excellente vidéo présentant une visite complète du cargo qui semble néanmoins souffrir d'un manque d'entretien concernant le pont principal et certains locaux annexes comme des toilettes et autres cambuses ...un bon nettoyage au karcher et quelques bons pots de peinture sont vraiment nécessaires à la propreté de ce navire pour le rendre plus attrayant ...

[@emmo_93]

Ce navire doit être mis en cale sèche le mois prochain pour un nettoyage et un entretien en profondeur.

[@DawnofMeat]

Great tour as always! I believe you're correct about the Suez cabin. I've heard that the crew that boards along with the pilot get to have their own accommodations, and often set up souvenir stands to sell to the crew that's already onboard.

[@emmo_93]

@DawnofMeat slightly older ship. The outside decks were painted red throughout the voyage I should have included the before and after in this video. Thank you confirming that about the suez cabin I thought that was the case

[@truckermre]

I’m guessing that is where the armed guards also stay when in pirate waters?

[@emmo_93]

@truckermre nope they're assigned spare crew or officer cabins usually there will be 3 rotating on each officers watch 4-8 8-12 12-16

[@wakodude9635]

Hiya, another questions, it is much appreciated and love the videos. Do you know any kiwi / nz based deck officers that would be happy to have a more indepth chat around that sort of role? cheers

[@emmo_93]

The work I do is nothing to do with the operations of the ship I'm a contractor on board. The best thing you could do if you want to pursue a career on the seas is talk with the maritime college in Nelson or Auckland for more information about career pathways

[@wakodude9635]

Where do you look for available contracts for NZ? Where would you look for deck officer positions specifically for NZ, or in general. (not in the industry but looking into it)

[@emmo_93]

@wakodude9635 study first at MIT in Nelson you can get started with as little as just your basic stcw training and join as an OS or you can study nautical science foreign going for two years and then apply for deck cadet positions I think bluebridge and interislander take on cadets but no salary it's just to see if you're keen. Otherwise overseas companies. You'll be gone for a whole year during your cadetship

[@user-pw3cq7cu9o]

@@emmo_93awesome thanks. How are the job opportunities out of nz for officers? Is it very competitive or is the demand fulfilled by Asian countries? We don’t have any jones act or equivalent do we?

[@emmo_93]

@user-pw3cq7cu9o after your nautical science diploma they will recommend companies to look for a cadetship you'll be repatriated to and from New Zealand cadet salary is very small do keep that in mind

[@Islandwaterjet]

Exporting raw logs = exporting New Zealand jobs. This should be a banned practice.

[@emmo_93]

@Islandwaterjet there's simply not enough demand with a population of only 5 million people for all the wood we grow it's one of our biggest exports along with dairy and other fresh produce. It's sustainable too when these trees are harvested they are replanted soon after
