Our Ship is in Israel: Can the Crew Go Ashore? | Chief MAKOi Seaman Vlog

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Hello Everyone!

[@stevetuttle5472]

Be blessed!

[@thedhl777guy]

So very happy for these videos again, great videos about marine engineering Chief keep them coming.

[@joeygapo9026]

Till the next port Chief. Have a safe underway.

[@mervynmccracken]

Aye, aye Chief 😂

[@FB-ok1zl]

Chief can you make a video about what are engine crew do during anchoring

[@ryder6070]

Moral is the most important measure of a healthy crew. You are very good leader

[@liakosliakos348]

I'm glad you made the comment for new parts. I wasn't happy seeing the crank like that. You could see material from the flywheel. Just keep in mind the if the crank lost surface area you WILL break that key again. Go ahead,,,, ask me how I know. Safe travels chief and God bless

[@rovidius2006]

On the side of emergency i would turn the crank before installing the piston by the bolt at the end as fast as possible and while holding a grinder or some sort of file to get the tapered surface straighter ,use green Loctite if available and get the flywheel hot before install with careful use of a hammer while turning the bolt .Improvising can work if enough knowledge is procured , high seas can greatly improve motivation ,Fair Winds

[@f-j-Services]

@@rovidius2006 some tin or a coke can as a shim too can help that flywheel sit tighter on the shaft. I have never been a fan of conical shafts with the half moon keyways but whatever.

[@paullandreville5394]

I so enjoy watching professionals at work. No drama, no yelling, just teamwork and detection, to getting the job done right. Great job Chief.

[@jeffdayman8183]

No bubbles, no troubles! Good temporary repair by the crew. Sorry you didn't get to visit Jerusalem. Hope you do get a chance in the future. Cheers!

[@IH8stpdppl]

Your level of knowledge just blows my mind. Great video like always Chief, thanks for keeping the world moving!

[@glennac]

Thanks Chief! Please add this to the funds. And let the guys know we appreciate all their (and Yours) hard work to keep the world running. They might think no one notices. But we do. And Thank You Chief for making this opportunity available❣️

Thank you very much! 😊

Ship troubleshooting is the same process we use in IT. Identify root cause "RCA", determine corrective action plan "CAP", test corrective action, return to service. Its the difference between a well running operation and one with constant failures and breakdowns.

[@roderickcampbell2105]

Hi Lorin. I was in IT for decades. Root cause analysis was always a major item. But I have never heard of CAP, although it makes obvious sense. Maybe we just called it a different name. If you go though root cause, CAP makes perfect sense. Best.

[@jeffhaggarty9879]

​@roderickcampbell2105 we typically only used them if something moved to the level of service management calling it a problem. Then as part of the problem management phase we would need to provide the corrective action plan.

Thank you!

[@TsunauticusIV]

Just so you know… the sidewalls of keyways are VERY important. You can see there is damage on the keyway sides on the crank portion of the keyway. The sheeve side of the keyway needs inspection too. There is likely just enough wiggle room for keys to allow movement. That movement has slowly destroyed the key… and edges… of the keyway as evident by the aforementioned keyway damage. This is something we commonly see in machine shops. You need to address that or it will be a repeat issue. Keyways need recut. In some cases you can just rotate and cut a new keyway but you can also fix a damaged keyway via a couple different methods. Cheers mate. Thank you for another great video.

[@shortconcert]

Hey Chief, very interesting video of the compressor repair. Sorry that you didn't find time for some shore leave, hopefully next time you'll be luckier... :)

[@Citizenfitz1]

Always a thumbs up for Chief's videos.

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment Cheif MAKOi . Fantastic job.

[@buddywhatshisname522]

Nice work… We had the prelube pump eat itself on our ship recently. The auto-filter caught most of the cast that was ground off (about two kilos I figure) but it drops it back to the sump and the duplex strainer and safety filter did their jobs as well, catching the majority. We’re a ferry service and the down time is noticed by the passengers and the government. The pump has to be custom built so there’s a three to six month lead time… installed a pair of smaller pumps with the assistance of some certified welders to get us through the peak season. Of course, the engine is getting a complete tear down at refit this fall to assess any damage that may have occurred. MAK M32 V16 in case you were wondering. I do love my job 😁

It's perfectly fine 😊. No worries.

[@edshelden7590]

Great story . I like the explanation of why you’d like to use handrails as opposed to power tools. The time lapse ending was visually very good

[@RomanVarl]

12:40 There's nothing more permanent, than "a temporary repair" 😆

[@jonathanhernandez4304]

All your videos are appreciated by me, a humble CNC machinist that has refinished large bearings for Navy to cargo ships. But, I wanted to thank you again for this video, I know not being able to see Jerusalem or any part of Israel was hard on you. But as a true stand up man, and team leader, you persevered with dignity and professionalism. And for that I too am even more motivated in my duties in life when I'd rather do something else at times. 👍

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the videos and hope you get to see Jerusalem one day.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thank you!

[@santamanone]

I noticed around the 11:39 point that someone was wearing a ring while applying the soap for the leak check. When I used to work on industrial/mechanical jobs we weren’t allowed to wear any jewelry while in the shop as it was considered a safety hazard (the jewelry might catch on moving parts, belts, etc. and pull you into the machinery.

[@njjeff201]

It’s too bad you missed out on visiting. The music & foods there are phenomenal there & of course the religious sites will give you chills with its history. Shalom

[@randyogburn2498]

Interesting video Chief. It ended up being closer to my trade with the refrigeration compressor repair. I was trained to leak test with Nitrogen before pulling the vacuum. What refrigerant does your system use & do you carry extra for repairs? A video of the climate control system aboard would be interesting too. Stay safe out there.

Thanks! Hey Chief I'm more than happy to show you and your crew some love. Somehow I have to figure out the amount because it only gives me the option of this amount and I don't know what prices over there are like but here that isn't enough to buy the empty pizza box let alone the pizza inside. If I can't figure it out maybe I can make several donations for this amount.

@@ChiefMAKOi My pleasure chief. I was a licensed marine engineer for 35 years and I know what it's like to be stuck aboard in port. I hope you have a nice feast in the next port. I think it was the 18th century English writer Samuel Johnson who said going to sea was like being jail with a chance of drowning. In his day it was worse, but isolation is always something to deal with. The internet probably makes it a little easier. At any rate, greetings from southern California. It's good to see you taking care of the guys.

No sólo que por aquí estamos sufriendo una ola de calor sofocante, sino que además tenemos el país patas arriba con manifestaciones, disturbios, mucho malestar. Con suerte, todavía puedas volver y visitar el país en algún otro momento, con mejor clima atmosférico y civil. Suerte!

Although the bearing journals of the crank looked good, the taper that flywheel seats onto appeared to be worn. It might be wise to change both the crank and flywheel. What refrigerant is used in that system?

Your description of the hand tools brought back an amusing memory- I was standing by a gas carrier under construction on Tyneside, in Britain. Shortly before we left the shipyard for sea commissioning trials, the shipping company's official issue of tool boxes came aboard, full of Whitworth spanners (plus a supply of Fahrenheit thermometers). All totally useless on a ship with metric fasteners (and all instrumentation in metric units). That is Britain for you- like a museum with management rooted firmly in the past. Not a bad ship, though. Quite enjoyed it apart from when we had a cargo of Ammonia- horrible stuff.

[@davidmoran4471]

Yes, in a lot of cases, power tools just let you make a mistake faster.

1. You could lap the 2 cones (crankshaft and flywheel. It is difficult, I know, but can be done and it is a kind of permanent repairs 2. you could use "Locktite retaining compound 638" or 603 check it when you have internet. If you don't have it, which I'm sure' use lockthread 3. seams and and punching is not used anymore. Strongly but strongly recommend, don't do it with bearing casing in motors as used to be done years ago.
