Greasing the Crane Jib | Seaman VLOG 022

Chief MAKOi Seaman VLOG 022
Greasing the Crane Jib / Working at high places
In this episode, I had one of the deck guys strap on the GoPro while I film from below. Their job order for today is to climb atop the cranes and grease the jibs.

[@edwardweeden2834]

Chief! On carriers we have a 'portable crane' called a 'Tilley' to hoist aircraft which have somehow wandered off their wheels. But if you know the right people (the guys who go up the carrier's mast to service the radars) they will take you up to the top when in port just to see if you are brave enough to do the climb. The upper radars are about 200 feet above the waterline (the flight deck on my carrier was 60 feet above the waterline). The views are fantastic! You take a pair of your 'skivvies' (underpants for landlubbers who don't know the word) up with you just to hang up there long enough to take a photo. If you do the climb they award you a Certificate as a 'Skivvie Waver'. It is a very exclusive group. When I took my skivvies out of my pocket to hang up, there was a huge laugh from my shipmate-buddies who took me up (it was in San Diego). Before I went up I took a yellow-pen highlighter and colored in a 'Stain' in just the right location. Huge FUN onboard ship sometimes, it matches up with huge WORK. By the way, it was much more terrifying climbing down the mast than going up!!!

I LOVE that I got to hear the crews conversation! That was really cool!

[@nosaltadded2530]

This one reminds me of greasing the cables and general maintenance on the aircraft elevators on the aircraft carriers I served on.

[@condezafisher5841]

Scary and. Hard job to -do. I,salute all of you on that ship...god bless as always all of you Filipinos...😘🇨🇦👍

[@ryanjay1963]

Thanks Chief 😊 I love watching your videos.. thanks to some videos related in seaferers until I found your channel.. I watched your vlogs all days... more power to you Sir.. God Bless ... Not just subscribed... 👍 I ring the bell also ..

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks!

[@LinhNguyen-fm2nh]

So clean. From bridge to engine room. Hi chief . The first i want to send you and all crews member best wishes. I respect your knowledge . I'm vietnamese and i'm a chief engineer too. All ships on your vidieo are so nice. In the future if i have opportunity i want to join with you guys. Goodluck to you.

[@rahepla]

This one really rocks!!! Great video, really interesting Sir. I enjoyed watching it so much... Navios Mercury..., what a beauty!!! Keep posting!!!

[@savetheship764]

The stuff that some deck crews have to endure during a tour haha. Bless them all. I remember very vividly (wasn't a crane, by all means). Our boatwain had myself and another fellow greeze a total of 16 davits that ran around the cruise vessel. Had to roll them out with weights and hand crank them all up in one day. My arm feels sore and spinning just thinking about it. Great videos cheif.

[@rolandogalaran3078]

Greasing of crane pa lang yan...mas mahirap pag nag change ng hoisting wire... Anyway, I always remember kung gaano kahirap nang trabaho sa Handymax bulk carrier 30 yrs ago....from cadet to master....matagal din akong nag cmate bago ako naging master...I acknowledge this video very much... thank chief makoi for your effort...

[@CarlosPestonit]

Good informative video of one of the hardest and dangerous jobs on board is hanging from a boatswain or bosun's chair to grease and paint on the heights ... and not all sailors dare !! ... even if you pay extra money , thank you because it reminds me of the many times I did that hard work 👍

They free climb that? No freaking way. I climb water towers and we have fall protection all the way up. I love your video. I have watched a lot of them. fascinating.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks for watching!

[@wailandkarisma4279]

the wires with frayed metal strands are sharp enough to pierce the skin. take care and always take the shots.

[@richardgiles2484]

Good to see this work. Bit surprised the crew were not clipped on when climbing the ladder to the top 🤔

[@TheByard]

I drove a prototype tower crane that folded up and became a trailer, so the makers delivered it to site unfolded it and showed me the how to operate it. I checked the manual and like all cranes greasing was a daily or weekly affair. But the grease nipple I didn't like was 60ft up and 30ft out at the end of the jib, I refused to go out there and suggested fixing a tube to the bottom of the mast. This and several other grease points were tubed and a central grease point fixed, they named it after me.!!!! In those days an operator was paid an extra hours money per day, called greasing money to make sure all fluids etc. were topped up and the machine was fit to work.

[@jezreeltapo4222]

Nalulula na ako kahit nanood lng sa CP huhu pagpatuloy ko paya pag babarko haha😭😂

[@tinalapastora1592]

Bakit ba ang lupit ng boses ni sir magsalita parang dj.. sana kumanta ka rin po.. good job..😊

Should have played that "we might fall" song here.

[@Wisconsin_Local_139_Crane_Guy]

Ok. So I’m a crane operator and have been for years. Even on a ship called the BOB BARKER. It’s not hard . What you do chief is hard. What we do is easy piesy.

[@arlenelagumbay6722]

I love watching your videos

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thanks!

[@100prestige]

All of it need not be any problem. Just clip onto the nearest skyhook and job done.

[@38911bytefree]

7:47 got me laughing so bad

[@JesseH]

We had a few issues greasing pullys while stationary. The grease only ran to one side. I cured that real quick. I had the operator move the system 10 feet in each direction as I greased it. Problem solved.

[@kyazo3522]

Salute sa inyo mga sir.... Ang ganda at ang linis ng cranes nyo IHI mark II yata yan ingat sa work...suggestion lang sa pagagrasa ng ropes like boom rope boom up completely para madaming rope ang nasa drum then doon nyo grasahan mas safe yung ibang part tsaka nyo i roller sa taas ganun din sa hoist rope suggestion lang sir...

[@dennisphillips2138]

I've fallen in love with life at sea. Although yet to board a ship, I'm sure I would be a world class captain.

[@gloverelaxis]

Thank you for this dangerous and important work you do! You and the other workers should get paid the full value of your labour, and you should all control the ships, not the bosses who do no work and take so much money. That way, you could make the work environment safer for yourselves, because the cost of safety provisions would be paid by the very people the safety provisions are protecting!

[@mykeandrewbautista1738]

most liked video the crew seems to be very acclimated

[@roninleon]

I'm surprised that there wasn't a safety cage on the ladder, they had to be 20 feet or more above ground.

[@condezafisher5841]

Filipinos is the most intelligent hardworking with a lots of common sense all in all among others ....😘👍

[@andrewsmith6406]

No wonder we had a hoist wire snap on the wharf the other day..... About 3% of that wire got inspected and greased.

[@seonha4801]

Thanks for sharing the video! There is lack of safety hoop on access vertical ladder.

tanong ko lang boss pano kayo nag ggrasa ng mga pinon gear sa crane? binabaklas nyo ba o may grease fitting yun?

[@mauriceclemens3286]

Balls of steel! I’m getting vertigo just watching the video! I hope they don’t have to do that underway!😳😳🤮🤮🤮

[@russelljohnson2860]

If you and your girl break up. Remember theirs always one in every port. Wear your glove and enjoy the ride. Ha,ha,ha. Tell the guys grease that bootie on tootie fruity.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

🤣

[@renetimrunvech7155]

Hi Seaman! What Type of Grease do you User for the Jib bearings? Thanks for answer.

[@100prestige]

Thought to bear in mind whilst aloft, Its not the fall that will kill you. Its when you hit the deck.

[@edwardweeden2834]

YES, you are perfectly OK for 99.9 percent of the descent!!!

[@seaph2022]

👍👍

[@iffahstifler8743]

My on Board crane is quite hard to grease, we literally had to sit on the cable n grease it along the way. Any safest suggestion other than doing that? we tried this method but the cable still turn out to be little bit yellowish . Im just Deck rating but most the greasing part, we'll do it. ur help is much appreciated

[@Jzjdjdjd377]

_Chief Makoi I really enjoy watching your videos they are very educative, I would like to ask you, I have not navigated for more than ten years, I am an OICNW, what advice would you give me? Thank you for your time._

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Usually after 5 years of no sea service, you have to repeat all of your training courses.

[@blazemascarenhas6488]

Chief another question as u are cadet after u get eligibility for exams to become 4 engeener.. after then for 3 engineer u have to give exams?? or 3 engineer u get promotion?

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Eligibility doesn't necessarily mean competence. Your license is just the minimum requirement. There are plenty of seafarers who have higher licenses but if you ask them a simple question regarding to normal jobs of one rank higher, they don't know how to answer. Learn everything you need first. When you are already confident you can perform the job of the next higher rank, then take the exam for higher license.

[@blazemascarenhas6488]

but are these exam are tough in engeneering side?

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Like I said, learn everything you need first. It will make everything easier.

[@blazemascarenhas6488]

thank you chief

[@edwardweeden2834]

"eligibility doesn't necessarily mean competence". MAN, truer words were never spoken. Go for the guy who has 'mastery' and can answer your questions without delay or having to 'look things up', I had a guy on the carrier who knew every word in OPNAV Instruction 5510.1. He was worth his weight in gold! Also, he knew all the shortcuts too - legal and illegal. He always had the good sense to avoid the latter. But we had to be careful not to overload him. He was NOT the most senior - he was an E-5...!

Deck

[@gilbertahsam643]

Your men was greasimg the cables with bare hands maybe they wiped there hands with a rag but there hands are still dirty and going down that metal ladders and touching it with dirty hands is asking for someone down the road going up or down is waiting for a accident. No hand cleaner just rags is not well,safety first for the lives of all sea men
