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

As a part of Shipping Industry, I am proud of my job. Great Video,well done ! Jeff Thanks to hard working from many people, than our world could operate day by day.

[@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.

respect to all the people that work on these massive ships

[@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 !

-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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

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.

[@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?

The kid in the video gets to play there, why can’t I!?” • Me: ‘oh honey he’s not a kid, he just looks young. He works on the ship, that’s his job.” • Kid: “no mom, he IS too a kid, he’s just disguised as a “grownup” so he can play all day on the shipping playground. He is very smart.” 😂

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 !

In this vídeo, explains in details the cargo operación from port to a ship. Much of the works is done by cranes with automatic systems, however, the man hand is necesary in this job as there is a personnel in charge of the insurance of containers in the main deck of the ship, by prevents disasters in case of bad weather or any other reason that compromises the safety of the vessel. As future third officer of the merchant marine, is very interesting know the information about the container ship!!
