Ship's Chief Engineer : Daily Routine At Sea | Chief MAKOi

Here's what I usually do while the Ship is at sea and the Main Engine is running.

I've worked in Electrical/Mechanical maintenance all my working career (presently retired). Never did I think I would be watching shipboard maintenance videos, yet here I am. Machinery is just fascinating to me. Thank you Chief for bringing your world to us.

[@nswanberg]

As a stationary steam engineer the world of work just fascinates me. I could watch people working all day.

[@tysonristau4995]

I’m the same, for some reason I just love transportation

[@user-dv9ww7oe9k]

Hi handsome, I really appreciate you for you thanks

[@user-dv9ww7oe9k]

@@nswanberghi handsome, please I really appreciate you kind comments

[@cmans79tr7]

Thank you for generously using your personal internet time to post this vid. We know that you are very busy, but we sometimes can forget that when you are out to sea, that you do not have unlimited internet access time like we might have.

[@shortconcert]

He waits until he gets to a port to upload. His videos are usually month behind realtime

[@steakikan]

@@shortconcert still his personal internet time tho, but not as expensive as satellite and mostly 4g connection

[@lonewolf025]

Agreed. Appreciate the sacrifice for sharing with us what things are like.

[@joshuabrown3525]

The Chief Engineers are always the unsung heroes of ship travel. They keep ships running, and in an emergency, can save lives. My grandpa was a chief engineer in the U.S Navy, and made it to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

[@Gunnr1236]

"The job isn't done until the paperwork's done!" Every job ever done... Thanks for the peek behind your daily routine, Chief!

[@yourseatatthetable]

I am in Iowa, its after four PM and I am stuck in a line at the Des Moines sewer plant waiting to unload a tanker of restaurant FOG (fats, oil, grease). Apparently the plant is suffering from some sort of failure. On a normal day I can get through here in under 20 minutes. Today I've been here several hours with three trucks ahead of me. Watching your video is helping me to pass the time. Thank you.

[@QualityCraftsmen]

Seeing the daily activities in any industry gives the ability to estimate the effort required to complete a service, in your case moving freight internationally. The world is your client :) Thanks for the awesome perspective, Chief!

[@BilgeDweller]

Many thanks! Your days are at the same time very similar and very different to our days of running the engine rooms on Mississippi River towboats. Much of what is done is the same, and we had less equipment and fewer crew. (Usually just me and a helper standing square watches.) Your videos give me a view into another world, I'll be back for more. Thanks again!

[@nathanhollis8496]

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to make these videos. It is very interesting to watch what goes on in an industry and environment that most of us will never see in person. The content is outstanding with a fine balance of narration in terms that make it easy to understand. Safe travels.

[@56Spookdog]

I liked that you described engine room conditions and let the volume of it play while talking, unless you’ve been there most people wouldn’t understand the conditions of working in that heat, noise and vibration. It always amazed me how engineers could communicate with each other from different levels or across a space, me, what did he say?

[@alainaarrhodge5900]

This video has been very enlightened. Thank you, Chief!

[@10toMidnight]

Informative and relaxing at the same time. Thanks for the posts.

[@Truckngirl]

Thank you for letting us into your world! Do you spend some of your leisure time editing your videos, to be uploaded while in port? Your KZbin videos are so nicely done, plus I love your drone work, too! You said 2 GB a MONTH? Damn, yeah, that would limit you to emails without photos...If I were a woman of means, I would gift you a Viasat receiver and a year's unlimited service! You deserve it for your educational and entertaining content!

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Yes, when I'm feeling creative, I edit videos to pass the time. 😊

[@randyclyde4939]

Chief, many thanks for your time and effort in producing another interesting video! I'm always happy to see a new post from you! Be well, be safe!

[@el_carbonara]

thanks chief, love the insight into your day, it is so interesting

[@1rembo69]

Always great to see how life on a ship is carried out, thank you & everyone aboard to be safe...Thank you Chief!!!

[@johncassels3475]

Thank you. I always enjoy your videos.

Thank you Chief for you time.

[@d14551]

Always good to hear from you, Chief, and I like "day in the life" videos.

[@alanwilliams2072]

Very interesting as always. I imagine that you haven’t had many typical “at sea” days recently and will be looking forward to getting under way again soon. Always looking forward to your next video.

[@williambryce8527]

Great and well done video of a day in the Life of Chief MAKOi!!!

[@mikeychapman2164]

Thank you for another insightful and well presented video keep up your excellent work best wishes for you and your family, love Michael Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@cyriloraiz8068]

And all of a sudden I missed working at sea. The view that you get when are you at sea really hits differently; the calm blue sea, the sunset & the sunrise, and the fresh air everytime you walk around outside the accomodation. I hope I can get back onboard, in time. Thank you for this video, Chief! I miss workinng with incinerators though. 😂😅

[@berhanusisay3588]

Very helpful and straight forward as usual. Thank You.

[@torccchaser6712]

Love your management style....Builds confidence and trust. Very comprehensive reporting. Gotta be tought limited Wifi and internet access. Wouldnt it be great to finish your day on time...:-) As always..safe sea's ahead Chief !

[@13699111]

Thank you cheif for posting all the great videos on your channel

[@nutsnproud6932]

Thank you for the video. You and the captain run a happy ship. Best wishes.

[@elrichalberts8886]

Good episode as always,thank you sir I love watching your episodes.

[@bakaryabdully]

Always Feel good to hear from you Chief Makoi, I'll be looking forward to see much of your videos so interesting, hoping one day I will be like you.

[@russellhorn7437]

I enjoy your insights on your life abord ship. Most people have no idea what sacrifices you and the rest of the crew face with your profession. Days away from family just trying to make a better life for your family. It's especially hard because you aren't there to watch your children grow. Many thanks for the videos.

[@mcgoo721]

You just know that chief Makoi is a dope boss. I hope that when I get on a ship my officers are as understanding and knowledgeable as he is.

[@anydaynow5595]

This man is a legend for making his channel

[@irongoatrocky2343]

Chief you stated this Vessel needed some work when you came aboard,......... I have faith you will do what you can to bring it up to par given what you have to work with....... I like your leadership style of assigning the work and allowing the crew to do it and staying out of the their way as long as the work is done to expectations/standards.....after all you cant force anyone to do anything, you can only encourage them, and I know you reward successes, and endure/right failures in a responsible manner, all signs of a good leader, You build a positive morale as a team to make everyone an equal part because no one person can do it all alone......... Good job my friend.

[@nickraschke4737]

You’re a good guy, chief.

[@Churchill250267]

Thanks for the insight into one of your days underway. Fair winds...

[@PhilRable]

Watching your videos, if I was a young man a life at sea looks very inviting. Love being at sea, but have only experienced it as a passenger.

[@arielleblond6201]

Hi Chief Makoi, of course we get ready for the next one. With Sam Chui you're my favourite KZbin channel. With you we go all over the world, at home. We wish you the best for the next inspection, God bless you, your team and your family.

[@slingerssecretlaboratory]

Great content, Chief. Enjoy your channel.

[@Nightstick]

Great content Chief, interesting to see a normal day aboard a commercial ship.

[@bostedtap8399]

I have experienced the time difference from my work location to my office, makes for very long days, -6 GMT to +8 GMT. Very interesting work, as the Chief Engineer, your days are very long, a mother to all. Great work and video, thanks for sharing. Best regards from the UK. John.

[@blue_jm]

Very interesting stuff. Definitely will watch the next one.

Very informative video, thanks Chief Makoi. Excellent explanation of the process and oversight responsibilities of the C/E underway. I expect you do much more than discussed. Correct t-shirt…you are my Superman shipmate. Great breakfast entree…that was my favorite Spam, rice & eggs meal at NAS Cubi Point, next to Tapasalog. Carry on safely!

Thank you for sharing your day🙂 I found it very interesting and informative

[@peterwelch7745]

Remember an old Chief showing me how to 'spin' out a purifier by filling it with gas oil about 50yrs ago. Worked a treat. You'll have to explain to the viewers the art of communication in the E.R. with the noise of the turbo blowers howling. No salt tablets for breakfast? Great series.

[@ginog5037]

Peter how hot was your E.R.?

[@peterwelch7745]

@@ginog5037 was on one ship, the Gulf Coast ( ex Leeds - Humber Associated Lines ) running down to West Africa. One degree in E.R.temp would raise the exh temps by 10 degrees. Could work in temperatures up to abt 105 F but not much above that .Interesting how you adapt and can sweat profusely after a while which helps keep you cool.

[@ginog5037]

@@peterwelch7745 Don't the engine controls and computers go bad at those Temps Peter?

[@peterwelch7745]

@@ginog5037 No computers back then, but we used to have to keep easing the engine back (to maintain exh temps at 800 F) On returning back to colder weather we would gradually increase the revs again, only to have the inevitable 'Scavenge Fire! ' Ho Ho!

Great vlog chief, like most jobs it involves vast amounts of information reaching the rite office. Stay safe 🙏

[@stanwooddave9758]

Never occurred to me that you / ship's have to deal with the many different "TIME-ZONE(s)." I'm assuming you try to keep to your home local (and office) time? Looking forward to hear that now freshly rebuilt gen-set startup! Thanks so much for making / editing/ uploading this video. Stay safe, Chief MAKOi

[@markfeagans9679]

And yet another excellent video. Besides better video equipment, your production skills have gotten better with time. I'm still looking forward to your post-career documentaries! (I know it must be getting tiresome reading that).

[@radamus210]

Very cool! But, I wonder, even on those days of heavy seas for example, the show still goes on I suppose. Keep rocking it boss! Be safe.
