When you ask someone who is another to send something and he said to " I will send them with cargo" what does it mean?

[@burdizdawurd1516Official]

I just want to say that these videos are amazing, professionally made masterpieces. The footage is smooth, the exposure and focus are on point, and editing and narration wrap it up perfectly. You could probably make a fortune with your video skills. Maybe oceanographic documentaries?

[@samirdhindhwal7591]

I want to echo a point made by many that in addition to being informative, your videos are very, very well produced. Amazing work.

[@stevemazz3121]

I worked at a concrete/gravel supply company where I moved material from trains into tunnels with conveyor belts to a material elevator then down a chute to bunkers... until doors at the bottom of the bunkers were opened onto another conveyor belt to move material to the batch plant for concrete or to waiting trucks..... WOW, I said all that just to note... all day I was up and down ladders and stairs, back into long tunnels or open gates and back again....I was in the best shape of my life working there.... not only fun but a true workout all day.... GREAT VIDEO !

[@matthewbeasley7765]

-30°C = -22°F One thing to remember is that at -40° C and F are equal. Below that point, the °F numbers are less negative than °C numbers.

[@NDDJayasinghe]

that's messed up lol

[@SleepySuperhero]

I'm writing a fiction story that stars a character who works the cranes to load the container ships. This is VERY VERY helpful! Great editing and good choice of music. Thank you!

[@Jookyforever]

When containers are loaded on top of one another by the crane, how do their twist locks engage? Also, how do they disengage when they are to be lifted again?

[@lifestylewiththetemminks]

My interests are in photos, shipping. I am a volunteer running a mission to seafarers when they come in on a boat from the docks, they have an area where they can come and relax have refreshments, watch television,, read some papers and use the computer. This is a good video...

[@IdleBroadcast]

Can you tell a bit more about how the cargo loading is controlled to balance the ship?

[@JeffHK]

+IdleBroadcast theres a automatic pump between two tanks that balance the heel, they are literally called heeling tank and heeling pump

[@touchgameplay]

Im curious with the containers that are freeze units how do the power themselfs electric batteries? If one fails or running low what do you do?

[@nathanchu1499]

They are plugged in to the electrical supply onboard the ship which provides power. Ship has multiple backup generators in case of failure

[@AbdulSamad-yh8kk]

@@nathanchu1499 whether this reefers were secured in a particular place?

[@56independent]

if the ship runs out of electricity, it is a huge problem. and there tends to be a long warming time for the refrigeration units.

[@PaulFisher]

@@AbdulSamad-yh8kk yes, as I understand, reefers need to be in an area of the ship which has power outlets available. What I do not know is how much of a typical ship has outlets, but I would guess that it is only available in some cargo bays, and only certain areas of those bays. (And it probably varies ship to ship depending upon what kind of routes the ship is intended to sail.

[@sk8125]

@@PaulFisher modern container ships have power outlets in every bay for reefers. We usually only stow them 2-3 high. They must be able to be monitored and serviced if something goes wrong.

That was an awesome time laps of the green port cranes loading the ship in the beginning with the yard trucks driving underneath. If you recorded that it was stunning!! Love the Vlogs, Cheers!

[@marklongley5738]

I was a truckie back home and worked a lot with import/export containers. Often i worked nights, pick up constrained from customers in the middle of the night then transport the containers to the port. I would arrive at the port a few hours before opening so wasn’t able to load or unload until they open. The guys working the ports would let me go up to the control tower and watch them load/unload the ships. I was able to developer a good relationship with the customers/ service providers that they would allow me to go up into the ops room.

[@mpoboy71]

Just came across your video, thanks, I used to work for a container yard in Memphis, TN , where we stored and delivered them How often do you find stowaways ? Or deal with pirates? Thanks again for the videos, very interesting

hello jeff can you make a video about the mooring operations in your ship...

[@newfunnelssingapore5121]

Great video and description what goes on in cargo operations on board a container vessel! Perfect video for people who are new to shipping and cargo operations.

[@pipedemon28]

So many independent refrigeration units must consume an astronomical amount of energy. how is it provided?

[@BOOMProductionsVIDs]

Most large cargo vessels are powered by bunker fuel also known as Heavy Fuel Oil. So basically "giant gas generators". Some specialty types are actually nuclear powered.

hi Jeff, can you do another video on how special-size cargoes are loaded and storage on the vessel? maybe another episode for tanks, and multi-element gas containers

[@DuhhHelllloo]

Have you ever run into a stowaway or a pirate? if so what happened?

[@JeffHK]

+La Flame nope, our sister ship did. we treat them as guest, provide with a room food and drinks. at the next port handed them over to authority (refugee status so id believe they were treated fairly)

[@sanfranciscobay]

Stowaways/trespassers should be treated as criminals. They boarded your ship illegally and should be kept in a locked jail, provided food and basic needs, but should not be allowed to be with the crew. They could be mentally ill or violent and kill all/part of the crew. Today and especially in the past, Maritime Law allowed the Captain the discretion to deny a stowaway or prisoner onboard their ship for safety reasons and allow them to drown at sea.

Is this company's policy or international law?

Hello Jeffhk, how are you? We have seen your video about how containers are loaded on a ship. I am part of a group of students who have some questions about the REEFER containers. Maybe you can answer some of our questions? 1-How high are the reefers loaded. Only 2 layers of containers or more? 2-How can you access the power plug on the upper containers? By stairs? 3-Do you disconnect the reefers before you enter the harbour? And how long in advance are you doing that? (a few hours?) 4-Are the reefers always loaded on the same spot into the ship? (same spot i mean exactly the same postion on the floor?) 5-Are there always electrical power receptacles available for the reefers on the spot where they are installed? 6-When you disconnect the plug do you first switch off the reefer of just unplug the plug to shutdown the reefer? We would be very happy if you could answer these questions for us and for our study into the reefer energy and handling study. Thank you very much in advance ! Best regards, The team: Jean Paul Bas Joost Pjotr Matthias Mariska InHolland Delft University

[@karperez9696]

I did not know about the "General stowage plan", it is good to have new knowledge before boarding, I think it is interesting how each contanier insure and it is observed that the work is not easy to perform on board this type of vessel.

[@DamianDeEu]

Thanks for sharing! A question for you... As a 3rd mate have you ever measured your total distance traversed on foot in 24h on a regular day on the ship?

[@mickmolloy5964]

JeffHK thanks for sharing, I found your channel today after doing my own time lapse on a cruise from Australia to NZ. Love the channel cheers Mick

[@sanfranciscobay]

Question: Do the refrigerated units have a diesel engine that runs a refrigerator unit and does that diesel engine run through the voyage or is it turned off and connected to electricity from the ship? Question: Do the container guides, either below deck or the ones above deck move forward or aft to accommodate different size containers or are they fixed in place and do not move? I believe I have the largest collection of Container Ships at the Port of Oakland recorded while on a Ferry and the largest collection of the view of going Under the San Francisco Bay Bridge recorded while on a Ferry. If that's what you want to see, you're in luck.

[@JeffHK]

+SanFranciscoBay electricity provided by connected to the ship guide is fix in place

Hello. Thank you for making this wonderful video. I was wondering though how arrastre and stevedoring works and differs from each other? Thank you

[@darkspeed62]

Never knew how they fixed the containers above deck, thanks for explaining for me!

[@dstarfire42]

How do they get the containers located up so precisely (to slide between the guides)? There's a lot of potential sway when you're lowering stuff so far. Even with computer controls to get the top lined up precisely, even a tiny bit of wind could move the container far enough to not align properly with those guides. I drive a forklift at work and at just 30 feet up sway is noticable and is something we need to account for.

[@amielterence]

Hey Bro, great video. I was wondering if you can tell me more about refuelling the ship at ports, like are the Ship Agencies or Central Planners in charge of that. Do you refuel at barges? What kind of fuel is used? How much fuel can you carry/burn. Sorry for all the questions, got a new job, and need to understand the sector better. God bless.

[@stevek4449]

I am on the other side of this equation. In America i haul reefer containers from food plants to the ports for export over seas. Questions on reefers. Say a load of pork is set to- 1.3C. How do you know that container you come across is set correctly? Difference in set point and actual temp on its display, or data in the booking number? How long after placement on board does a container wait until it is plugged in to ships power and before unloading, unplugged? Do all container ships use same method of booking numbers for their containers? My understanding is that the number can even tell what row, how high or below the deck and whether port or starboard as to where it will be stowed. So do all ships use the same formula or does it vary by company?

[@namekiconco4903]

Thank you for the video,what are some of the equipments for loading and offloading containers

[@arturo5050]

Hey, great video, that really help me to understand about the container ship. Can you do a video when you get in to the port, whats the most common buy from the ship chandlers, the most common repairs that the Cargo needs when arrived to a port. Thank you :)

[@sanchayandeka2500]

When so many containers are placed on top of one another, do they not get crushed by the weight above them? What is the maximum weight they can handle?

[@JamesThatcher]

Hey Jeff, can you talk about how emergency jettison works? I've never 100% understood how you can take a pinned and lashed container stack and only knock off a few cans....
