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

[@marinablueGS]

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.

[@tysonristau4995]

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

[@ChamateyEbenex]

Hi handsome, I really appreciate you for you thanks

[@ChamateyEbenex]

@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.

[@Gunnr1236]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@d14551]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@hymek7017]

Thanks Chief. Your professionalism shines through. Stay safe out there.

[@garciavelert]

Gracias Jefe de Máquinas ,por tu reportajes de tu vida en los buques ,un saludo desde España .

[@1rembo69]

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

[@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. 😊

[@irvenrathburn9421]

Glad to see you back on youtube . Your videos are always grate to watch .

[@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 !

[@jameswhite9300]

I’m about to go to a maritime academy for deck. Hats off to you guys that can make a career in a 98 degree engine room turning a wrench. I’ll continue complaining how cold it is on the bridge😂

[@chuckhenderson4765]

I was a marine engineer in the Canadian Navy... lots of the equipment looks familiar , only yours is bigger ! we used to melt the plastic waste into " hockey pucks" that could be disposed of later

[@jorgelgonzalez2585]

Have a good day Chief Makoi... Wonderful video.... really thanks.! I'd like to see more videos like this....

[@crazyguy32100]

"A cadet may work from sun to sun but the Chiefs work is never done" Thanks for the look into the day-to-day.

[@davidfleishman2275]

Thanks Chief for showing and sharing your day.

[@johnlansing2902]

A very clean engine room , congratulations .

[@10toMidnight]

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

[@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!

[@alainaarrhodge5900]

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

[@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.

[@Rain_0_0]

I feel your passion and dedication to your job sir. Klarong-klaro po talaga na malaki ang pagkakaiba at impact sa trabaho pag binibigay ang best along with passion. Nakakainspire po ang professionalism niyo. Thanks ingat po kayo lagi!

[@rogerebert5122]

Excellent look into your day. Thanks. 🇺🇸

[@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.

[@ExtradeluxeChairman]

I like your show and your personality. I never came to an C/E. I ended as 3rd Eng. Off. But i enjoyed every day. Now i have ashore job in the port and its fantastic. Keep strong mate. 💪

[@bt9604]

Why did u quit sailing What type of job is u doing now

[@BANGSONBAE]

Chief, I fully respect you for making youtube videos consistently about your life story at sea. - Korean TSI, ex. marine engineer :)

[@rockfishmiller]

Great to see a pro at work.

[@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.

[@johncassels3475]

Thank you. I always enjoy your videos.

[@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.

[@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.

[@brianshields7137]

Hello my friend tha k you for your interest in showing the world the workings on ships ,and may you have a wonderfull Christmas were ever you maybe at that time , as all seafarer become family while away from home at Christmas,

[@williambryce8527]

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

[@LaiteRoseNai]

you actually remind me of my Dad his also a Marine Chief Engineer , truth is his out working for the longest he would work for 4 to 5 months and be bck only for 2 to 3 days so yeah sometime he'd be gone a yr and come for a leave, I really miss him alot as I watch your video but at the end is all worth it😢❤

[@nickraschke4737]

You’re a good guy, chief.

[@el_carbonara]

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

[@rherman9085]

Really interesting Chief. Thanks for sharing your day with us. I look forward to all your videos. Safe passage Chief!

[@Salty80556]

Informative and entertaining. Well Done, Chief. Thank you

[@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. 😂😅

[@freddypflugbeil6]

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.

Thank you Chief for you time.

Thanks showing.Retired now, never made it to chief😉😥 enjoyed my life at sea.

[@jblob5764]

I pass the port of Kalama Washington very frequently and always wonder if one of the ships moored in the Columbia is yours

[@cmans79tr7]

2:04 I love it! Rice, Spam, and an egg. My mother used to make that same meal for us in the 1960's. But what if you don't like Spam? What if they serve for lunch SpamSpamSpamBakedBeans and Spam? (Ha ha, this is reference to Monty Pythons "Lumberjack" sketch.) BTW love this vid. I always was curious as to what goes on with a person with great responsibility in a day on a ship.

[@adamt4742]

😮 you don't like spam? the spam eggs spam spam and cheese doesn't have very much spam in it I also love that sketch

[@johnkelley9877]

That was interesting Chief! I always wanted to know what the duties of the Chief Engineer was and this answered my questions. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for the great content showing your daily routine Chief MAKOi 👍

[@PinoyAbroader]

Thanks for sharing your daily routine. Keep safe always while on board.

[@kemitchell]

Chief, I strongly recommend you try one of the sleep cycle smartphone apps. You start the app and lay your phone under your pillow as you sleep. It uses the phone's motion detector to figure out your sleep cycle and wake you close to your alarm-clock time when you're least asleep. It sounded like a gimmick to me, but I really find it helps me get up on time without snoozing, and with much less groggy feeling. The app I use is called "Sleep Cycle". I don't pay for any subscription.

[@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

[@AAAAlberto]

Thanks ! Bye from Italy !

[@kpdvw]

nice video of what goes on... keep busy and stay safe...merry Christmas!

[@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).

[@marioborsboom2358]

Very nice video Chief.👌

[@chuckboyle8456]

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!

[@ahmadhambali8436]

Im in the same industry as you chief makoi. Specialising in M/E and A/E turbocharger. Is nice to see your videos. Hope to see you onboard if you are in Singapore Port. Sail safe chief.

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

I got tired that day as we were still doing the generator overhaul. I wasn't able to shoot videos of everything.

[@chloehennessey6813]

Hi Chief! Thanks for the great content! I so wanna be a machinist and do like the machining while on a big huge ship like yours! Even I can already rub my own CNC router and lathr at home!

[@davetaylor4741]

A sort of conventional day for a senior engineer. The big thing is you can't jump in the car at the end of the day and drive home. And every few days you can be in a completely different country. You have to cope with months away but then you get long breaks at home. That isn't a bad thing really. The land bound guy works all year with the odd week or two off. Or the self employed guy like me works nearly all the time with no holidays. I can see why this life at sea would appeal.

[@stewartthompson72]

Very interesting and informative Chief. Fair Winds.

[@jackoneil3933]

A prividige Chief, and thanks for taking us along. At 9:50 it was interesting to hear more aobout your internet access, do you know of ships or crews using Starlink? Seems that could really change the quality of life for crewmembers.
