This really puts things into perspective. The hard work done in very difficult conditions. It’s not the machinery itself, it’s the people that maintain and fix it so that people who are watching this channel (and countless others) can have access to the food and supplies they need (they had to be brought to them somehow). Thank you.

You are the 21st century equivalent of Scotty form the Starship Enterprise.

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

Great overview of the Engine Room for those who have never worked at sea. For me my time at sea as an engineer (noisy, hot, sweaty and often dirty) were some of the best days of my life.

[@richardboudville5188]

I too am an Old Timer - Lecky of the Ship. 1958 ~1966. S.S. PyiDawAye; M.V. Aung Zeya; M.V. Pagan; M.V. Mergui. M.V.Ocean Trust; Lecky = Electrician - long before Containerisation began. Cargo was loaded Sling by Sling into and out of the Cargo Holds via Dericks and Winches on Decks. THANK YOU Chief MAKOi for the E/Rm Tour. (In my days we had the old Big Brass Telegraph with Bells and with repeater.) The Quartermasters (Helmsman) actually held the Helm in the Wheelhouse (not electronic knobs). Bless all of you. I am now age 78 Retired Electrical Inspector Landlubber in Australia. I've watched all your KZbins.

[@56Spookdog]

I worked as an outside fire protection contractor on ships for a few years and found that ships with Filipino crews maintained the cleanest engine rooms. Exxon, Standard, Military Sealift Command, APL, and a variety of others are the lines I worked on.

[@senortizzle]

Chief, English is my native language and I don't even annunciate and speak as clearly as you. Your voiceovers and videography are truly top-notch. I'm a new viewer and love your channel so far!

[@edinaldopereira2285]

I couldn´t agree more. I am not a native English speaker, but however, his english speaking is so accurate and I can understand everything. P.S: I am also an english student, as well as, a retired seaman from the Brazilian Navy.

I'm a yachty of many years several boats and enough miles, and as I watch the scale of the maintenance tasks at hand in commercial shipping, I am grumbling a little less about my own merciless never ceasing ever growing todo list! Great show, you're an ambassador for the marine industry, and the Philippines!

[@joseemmanuelvito555]

thanks sir! I am now enlightened about the valve and fuel injection's timing on Camless Engines. It's very informative and it really helps us to learn more about modern machineries on board... God bless you sir! ❤

[@madskills8153]

Keep going sir. Your English is very clear its easy to learn😊😊😊

[@neilwood2026]

As a former engineer who wanted to go to sea but remained on land I find your VLOG really interesting. As a regular on cruise ships I now have a much better understanding of what is going on far below my cabin. Thanks and keep posting.

[@spanner134]

Brilliant. Brings back memories. Served my apprenticeship building sulzers in Newcastle then too sea. I’m 60 now and still miss it

[@vishalsangam1320]

Very great contribution for those who are studying marine engineering or work in ships 👍😃 Lots of best wishes from Bihar ,,India 👍🌷 keep it up 🙏

[@manuelaffonso2191]

All this brought back memories. I quit sailing 16 years ago after 42 at sea ( engine )

[@omardrammeh2749]

Another interesting VLOG. Keep increasing our knowledge sir. I love this job. 🙌👍 I’m a Cadet Engineer studying in Cyprus all the way from The Gambia 🇬🇲, West Africa

[@btaylor9788]

Heard you LOUD and clear in the engine room lol.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I could watch you talk about the mechanical systems of your bulk carrier over and over again, Chief Engineer MAKOi!

[@purpleldv966]

God bless you Chief! You and all seafarers!

[@demil3618]

I’d like to have this workshop! Well equipped, even got a lathe. The heat is obviously making it hard to work there. Respect for all who have the endurance to do what’s needed!

[@PQRavik]

Reminding me of my days in the navy. I was a machinist mate and spent most of my time in the engine rooms. In my case though, the engines were massive steam turbines driving an old aircraft carrier. Enjoyed your video very much.

[@scruffygit771]

Fabulous vlog Chief! I left the merchant navy in 70's and so many fond memories of down in the engine room. .the smell, the heat, the noise, I'll never forget those impressionable feelings. Just out of interest how many engineers look after that department now?....we had the Chief, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, plus 2 juniors, 4 cadets, 2 electricians, a "lampy", a freezer and 4 "greasers"! No doubt there are a few less these days..........

[@bhagirathgurjar7518]

Here I get a feeling of engine room without go to ship... It's very fantastic chief makoi. Keep On It's very important who are studying marine engineering

[@edwardweeden2834]

Chief! I stood Surface Warfare Officer watches in Engineering Spaces on DFM-burning carriers in the late 1970s (600 psi steam plants). Comparing my old temps with yours (110-115 F) it doesn't seem like things have changed that much! Top respect to you and your crew!

[@asealysailor988]

Perfect and loved to watch this video exploring the Ships Engine room the HEART OF THE SHIP with you Chief Makoi and discuss the function of some of those equipments and motors.

[@manuelaffonso2191]

Ship's engine room, also nicknamed the ' brain department '

[@TanabiGoat]

Thanks for the thorough tour :) Best engine room tour I've seen (and I've seen quite a few, big ship equipment fascinates me :) )

[@WhitePointerBrutus]

Really enjoyed that tour. Great insight. Thank you

[@badasshiker9637]

Old mechanic's trick at 6:15. Using a screwdriver or other metal rod to listen to a motor, checking for a bad bearing. Cool beans!

[@mirandarosman3721]

Recently only discovered your channel and I'm hooked and subscribed! Probably not possible but is there a way in which we could see the propeller in action at sea? I LOVE big ships hence your channel. You explain things so well and plainly being the non technical woman I am! I'd love to tour a big ship one day but not possible as I'm wheelchair bound. Have jet skied around them though whilst in Port. AMAZING!🇦🇺

[@j12torts]

My dad was an electrician onboard a tanker ship. He used to overhaul those big generators. Definitely not a glamorous job but one that people should appreciate more.

[@scratchdog2216]

6:14 Nice to see that technique being used in a vid. Cool.

[@lovelesssyzygy9703]

Been waiting for these. Where my dad works. The engine room😊👍👍

[@travelwithilham]

Thank you sir I learned many things from here as a training electrical officer

[@harrietcooper1510]

Chief, I am in my seventies and was an engineer on steam turbine ships for several years. Even so apart from main engine differences there are still many similarities. Heat noise and vibration, no ac control room. We had occasional emergencies and I have to ask are you always this calm? Some chiefs I have known were definitely not! Still the bestjob I ever had. Thanks for refreshing my memories

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Yes, I'm pretty much very calm. Doesn't serve any purpose to be stressed and panic all the time 😄

[@goofyleo3869]

Me too, 'Harriet'. Babcock&Wilcox 650psi main-steam. 4hr safe-stay time in the Med during their summer. THAT was hot...

again so complex, but very fascinating to know each part and functions 😍

[@richardrenzguilalas2650]

Im currently taking up marine engineering course. And this helps a lot familiarizing ship's machineries. Thank you chief!

[@karunakararaja2663]

A beautiful video 😍 cheif and Chief I have learnt that different pipeline(air,fuel,lube etc) have different colours but in this video i find everything similar.....

Usually only the valve handles are painted according to color code.

I have always been passionate about the sea, watching the videos, I fell in love with navigation, I confess if I were young I would leave my profession as a professor of history and geography and look for a job in a shipping company

[@greyghostkoga]

Excellent videos! You cover everything very well. You are also a natural narrator. Very articulate speech.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks!

[@EfficientMan]

Nice videos, I wanted to do that career once upon a time but finally I chose another path in my life which I do not regret. However quite a few times when I was teenager and curious travelling with liner ferries I did some sneaky things and infiltrated into these "crew only" doors and managed to get down to the engine rooms. It was back in the days without CCTV. From the moment I pass through the door to the place that passengers do not go and feel the heat, the noises, the narrow passages and stairs I was ecstatic! It is funny what these passengers might do, if you ever work in a liner you have to keep an eye on them...

[@brandongregg4287]

I was just wondering what the protocol is when working in rough seas or in a storm. Are you still allowed to work in the engine room or would you have to wait until the storm is over?

[@jamescross2229]

Nice video - thanks for sharing. Really interesting to see all the waste/water systems and pumps as well as the power plants themselves.

[@EeRocKK]

I love your channel, Chief! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@kevinwaller620]

That engine room looks nice and clean. I served as a stoker on guided missile destroyers. The firerooms on them were mighty hot.lol. There is a short utube video of Hmas Hobart number two fireroom. It's interesting to see, and makes your engineroom look inviting.lol. Also, really find your videos interesting. If I had my time again, I'd be wanting your job.

[@markapaya5702]

It was like exactly the same ship I've used to work before. Same gross tonnage and everything. Great video sir! Very informative and useful. Hoping sir that you would make videos regarding on how to overhaul certain machineries on board or on how to maintain them. Thank you sir!

[@BlueSapiensY]

Great video! I'm just graduated from naval architecture but I'm very interested in work as a marine engineer. Thanks for your great explanation. :)

[@mikepazzree1340]

Thank you for another great video. It is rather ironic that everything discharged onboard her , is cleaner than Borocay.

Oh I miss the ships and engine rooms. Great vid! Greetings from a swedish marine engineer that is now days ashore. As an operator on a Nuclear power plant. Stay safe and take care of the ship and crew 😎

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks!

[@kglesq1]

I just watched a bunch of your videos--they're interesting and very well done. This one and the 'starting the main engine' video were particularly great. I've seen several videos of engine room tours, but shipboard machinery is so different from anything else that it's hard to figure out much of what you're seeing. The comprehensive narration you gave on this made all the difference. Thanks much for the education, I learned a lot.

Nice to remember while i was in engine room im retired 2011 u have new and modern engine

[@rorypenstock1763]

How would the naval equivalent of a black start work? That is, how would you start the ship's machinery without electrical power or compressed air, should you ever get into that situation?

[@ronalddavid4753]

Enjoy watching your Seaman vlog and more power Chief

[@richardbarry04553]

I’d figure there must be a lot of R&D work going on in developing ship propulsion and electrical/fresh water generation systems etc that run on renewable forms of energy rather than heavy fossil fuel petroleum distillates. Need to figure out how to make these necessary processes carbon-neutral very very soon!

[@craigtupper103]

You're right, there is lots of work going into hydrogen and electric merchant ships currently!

[@glypnir]

I just watched your snow angel video, and it made me wonder. Presumably even in winter the engine room is hot underway, although not as much. When you’re in port in winter, does it get cold in there?

[@sarojinidevithambapillai9146]

Chief makoi watching your video better than watching the movie.your video very clear and your English so good 😊 your explanation is very good .when you finished your merchant marine service . There is another carrier waiting for you which movie director. As I watched ur video ur good at it what ever you do. People are lucky to work under you.

[@davidtucker3729]

AAAhhh, my job description many days. Hot, noisy and the smell of grease and fuel in the air, sadly retired. So many lovely gauges to read and each one worth noting. Do you actually use diesel or is the main engine on bunker fuel i wonder with all that fuel seperation and filtering. Those Diahatsu engines would want diesel I expect. Thanks for a great ride Chief!!!

Well put, it is what it is and someone's got to do it! I did it for 4 years

[@nielsdaemen]

7:20 3 x 610 kw = 1.8 Mw Why would you ever need this much elektricity on a ship? Unless you use it for resistive heating, wich would be horribly inefient compared to just burning the diesel directly. Edit: 10:57 I see that only one of them is in service and the other two are on standby. So in this case it is "only" gererating 350kw. Still I wonder where all that power is going! Do you still use incandessent light bulbs?

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Various pumps for sea water, fresh water, lube oil, fuel oil, air compressor, refrigeration, air conditioning plant and other machinery. During maneuvering additional power is required for the hydraulic system for the mooring winches, anchor windlass and other deck machinery. Some of the pumps need around 40kW each.

[@JesusSaves-007]

Great video especially for those of us who have never been on one of these huge ships. Question. What is used to open the hatch covers? Do they have their own hydraulic system for example?

[@reysantiago9678]

[@inothome]

Quick question, I noticed on a few marine engine videos, the tachometer has the red area around 50RPM. Is that for engine parameters or for the prop efficiency?

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Critical speed. Lots of vibration.

[@dmedlin8118]

Is the engine room kept so warm for a reason, meaning in colder climes, can it be more excessively ventilated to keep the temps down, or are machinery tolerances set up expecting 45 C?
