I'm a professional ship designer and wanted to say thank you so much for the videos! Working on the landside, I don't get many chances to talk with crew and learn their opinions. But the crew are usually first in my mind when I design a ship. Videos like this a very educational to me. They help me understand the daily operations, safety concerns, and the little details that really matter when you live on the ship. Thank you. You said that visibility is key on the bridge. How often do the lookouts actually spot a vessel before you notice it on AIS or radar? It always seemed that the lookout functioned as a backup to equipment failure, instead of a primary function. But every mariner I talk to stresses how important the lookout is. Is the lookout really better than equipment? Or is this just a need to have a backup for equipment?

+Nicholas Naval Architect sometimes small boats that are made of wood wont show up on radar, so we can only use sight. At night when there is heavy traffic, its much easier to navigate by sight (look at lights) than by radar, Because radar always seem more clustered than it actually is (imagine trying to drive in a busy road with "radar" view, not having the 3d information is quite tough to gauge) Radar is also delayed, change in speed or course takes few minutes. AIS can be manipulated or errored. Sight is always true :D Narrow channels and buoyed systems are all navigated with sight for same reason, sight is a better tool than radar in those areas Those are just some off my head, theres probably more with all the limitations, the safest way to navigate to combine all three data.AIS, radar and sight

No equipment can replace the look out. U asked how often the look out actually spot a vessel before AIS and Radar? this is the reason for most of the accidents happened in maritime history - LACK OF PROPER LOOK OUT. You rely too much on equipments and they fail once in 100 to find a target or give u the exact position u will end up in a tragedy risking human life and environment the damage is huge and u can't take chances. Look out is not only to find vessels, everything start from look out on board ship. It's clearly mentioned and doesn't mean merely looking out! it's keeping watch on sound signals, VHF the weather everything.

Since you seem to be a bit of a movie watcher, a video on the Accuracy/Inaccuracy of ship use in cinema would be cool. It would be neat to see a scene in Captain Phillips and then hear you talk about how accurately/inaccurately it was portrayed as well as what your training says to do. Maybe do an analysis video focusing on each movie so that you have a source of consistent content?

This is all due to GMDSS. Depending the working area of the vessel different communication means are required, redundant and failsafe power supply. Then there are electrical units that are backed up by their mechanical counterparts under SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea, as a result of the sinking of the Titanic), such as gyrocompass and the magnetic on the monkey deck. The list goes on and on ...

And even between those speeds. You can command any specific speed the engines can achieve. Telegraph stops are usually pre-set speeds as determined by (I assume) either the C.O, the Engineer or the manufacturer. In my (Canadian) Navy days on an old steam-diesel destroyer, for example, "slow ahead" was 3 knots, half ahead was anything from 4-30 depending on the "revolutions" ordered to go along with it*, and "full ahead" was basically a command to max out the available power. On later ships, we simply set the exact speed we wanted on the helm/throttle control console, and didn't even have a telegraph. (*Half ahead selected, with 70 revolutions ordered, equalled about 10 knots, for example.)

My job is a roofer, yup a roofer, primarily on large scale commercial projects, actually I am more of a roof inspector for a very large roofing manufacturer her in Sacramento California, I go see the large ships coming and going as often as I can in San Francisco. I do have a question, what are your opinions on passengers traveling with crew members on a container ship, although I do not think that I could change my job, I am interested in booking a trip on a container or cargo ship just so I could actually get a feel for what you people do, I think if I had a chance to start my work career over again I would choose to be in your chosen industry.

It's easier to have the bridge closer to the rear so that when the ship enters rough seas the bridge crew can still see without being blinded by the water; also because there is no need for a super long rudder shaft, essentially a shaft that runs from the wheel in the wheel house or bridge to the rudder. The engine is also in the rear because it is cheaper, and safer on ships like ulcc's (ultra large crude oil carriers) and vlcc's (Very large crude oil carriers), because oil has the tendency to ignite, and there is no need for a drive shaft and the transmission is also back there too, when it comes to gas and Diesel engines, the engine provides the power while the transmission actually makes the parts move.

Because it will be an additional burden for the second officer. He has to update/correct charts every week as per Notice to Mariners MANUALLY. The adaptation of modern electronic means of navigation was a kind of relief as updating the electronic charts will just be easily uploaded on the unit. The implementation of Full ECDIS as a primary means of navigation also depends to the company. Some still prefer paper charts as their back up. So, it’s still kinda sad 😕

By the way, as a law states, second officer only must to update maps, for the current voyage (before departing). After that updating it only on current route. Of course, good maritime practice requires updating all maps onboard, but nobody has time for that.

Is an interesting tour in the bridge, your explination about the function of each of the teams in the bridge is very entertaining and easy to understand. This type of videos is very useful for all those that we will be part of the maritime field.

Flag cabinet?! So it's an assortment of national flags for all your flag needs? you should post it on /r/vexillology.

Ranolden flags are also used for communication. as Well every ship has all the country's flags of the harbour. so let's say I'm a dutch assigned vessel carry a dutch flag going to tokyo japan I also hoyst a Japanese flag. as sign of respect flags can be used as sign language or emergency declarement of the vessel and what time of emergency.

The Airgunner Show off range Specially if you are waiting for some kind of service from shore you want to make sure to hoist that flag, and that its hoisted the right way too. Else you might be waiting a hell of a lot longer for whatever servise youre waiting for.

Most of those flags are from the International Code of Signals (40 of them, the rest being country flags). Each flag has its specific meaning but combining flags can also change that meaning. There is usually a book on the bridge that explains each meaning. For example, 3 letter codes starting with M are messages is relation to medical situations. MKZ = "Patient has no control over his bowels."

For the most part nautical flags are something of an anachronism left over from the "pre radio" days that allow ships to transmit information to other interested parties but a few are still commonly used. The ones I recall using often are "Quebec" (all yellow) meaning Free Pratique which roughly translates to "nobody is sick on board so you dont have to worry about hanging out with us" and "Bravo" (all red) which is used when taking on fuel so others know to be extra cautious when nearby and "Hotel" (red and white) which means that a pilot is onboard so you can expect the vessel to be operating according to correct local procedures. The rest of the flags mostly just gathered dust but we had to have them just in case, although honestly I don't think any of us would have known any use for the rest of them without looking up the meanings. There are also national flags so that you can fly a courtesy flag of the nation you are visiting up on the mast in addition to your own national flag of registration on the stern. While at sea the national flags are not generally flown as there is no one to see them and they will just get worn out if they are left up all the time.

How hard can it be to navigate a ship, really it's just go in this one direction for 10 days very slowly. Done.

Heavy traffic, maybe alter every 10 minutes. Clear Coastal waters about every 2-3 hours. Open Ocean about every 4~8 hours

@@GodofKings7 I get the joke, but it's amazing how much attention to course and position is required to make an efficient trip. Wind and currents can wreak havoc on your ability to sail in a "straight line", and even being a degree off course can translate into a lot of expensive travel time to get back on course after a few thousand miles. Even far out at sea, it's rare to go for any significant length of time without taking a position fix and correcting your heading to stay on course. With the onset of GPS, however, it's become much easier to stay precisely on course.

Being one of the 'old timers' you referred too I enjoyed your tour of the bridge and it was great to see such advances (and your descriptions )since my time at sea late 50's to 70's when container ships made their appearance and changed shipping for ever! GPS was still a bit of a mystery and my company did not have satellite navigation as at the time it was very unreliable--so they said!!! Thanks again for your enjoyable video.
