Container Ship Vlog #48 (Busy Day at Work)

[@calpal9983]

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@JeffOnboard]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamesgreer5116]

All caveats reserved (all jobs suck, sometimes eg.) you have got a very cool job. Being out on the ocean, doing metal work, etc... The videos are awesome.

[@jefferyb.3406]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching I have another video coming next which will be an engine Room Tour

[@stephenhope7319]

Wanted to add, sometimes we let the apprentices do some of the crap work, but a good journeyman does his share too. Especially to show the apprentices what to do. I never took advantage of their labor, I always helped and in fact helped them in class.Especially welding class. Always teach the apprentices, they are your future.

[@CarlCoxArtist]

Cool! Thank you for making and sharing!

[@JeffOnboard]

Most important thanks to you for watching!!!

[@dnkrlng]

Love watching your vids. I miss life at sea. 29 yrs Active USNavy and miss being underway already.

[@jefferyb.3406]

Thank you for your service

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Always enjoy. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.

[@JR-es5zl]

Really enjoy your videos, thanks!

[@jefferyb.3406]

Think you so much for your comment and for taking time to watch I will have another video very soon

[@stephenr6427]

What a great video thanks for sharing take care and I'll look forward to seeing you again soon

[@tonietijerina]

WoW you do great work? Thanks for Vids!

[@JeffOnboard]

Thank you so much for the kind comment

[@stephenhope7319]

Gravy dude, awesome. Same thing I did for 36 years in Sheet Metal Workers Union, I was the only certified welder in my company, had 5 certs and had to go out and weld in all kinds of places, usually hospitals, stainless steel exhaust and hoods etc. Had to make parts all the time. Just like you. I am enjoying retirement and watching you still doing it, haha. Good videos, bro. Love it.

[@runsintheforrest1364]

Those are some interesting insides into the upkeeping of a ship. Looks like it would just rott away over time if not maintained.

[@JeffOnboard]

Yes requires so much maintenance and suck small crews....Not easy at all

[@allenmarquez8805]

Wow! I’m so glad I just stumbled on your page. I’ve worked on many Maersk vessels on the nav bridge and the radar deck but not the Idaho. This was neat to watch.

[@jefferyb.3406]

Well I'm glad you found the channel and there will be more videos coming so I hope to see you again sometime

[@redc8783]

Yep I’m glad your back at sea, doing what you do. Bee safe and hope your contract is all fair seas. See some pics of the. Montana I assume she in dry dock cause she look like it was due

[@jefferyb.3406]

Yes that ship is due for the dry dock you are correct I am finished working there and this was just a one trip relief on the Idaho next I will be going to a different ship as soon as possible

[@jamesroutledge]

Great vid Jeff, your work is first class, very professional 👍

[@jefferyb.3406]

Hello my friend thank you I have another video coming soon I will be showing a tour of the engine Room I was only on that ship for a one trip relief I will be going to another ship soon though

[@lindajohnson7849]

Nice jobs good to see ur training ur cadet properly long day have nice rest

[@oldguyonacouch7216]

Your little helper there looked like it was the first time he ever held a wrench LOL Looked like he was shaking. Maybe camera shy LOL

[@nohandle62]

Your videos are fascinating.

[@JeffOnboard]

I appreciate that

[@Dinngg0]

You had a busy day!

[@jaywulf]

THE CARGO MUST MOVE!!!

[@JeffOnboard]

always.. :))

[@78a67h]

Fact is a ship's deck needs constant maintenance as the weather takes a heavy toll. By the time you have finished fixing the bow you have to start again at the stern. Plus side the beautiful view of the ocean, fresh breeze, and being one with nature.

[@njworkshop5029]

I love your videos man. Merchant marine is something I’ve always wanted to do but the chips didn’t fall how I hoped. I wish your videos were longer or more frequent. I can’t get enough!!

[@jefferyb.3406]

Well I will keep making videos but it's impossible to post them when I'm on the ship because we use Wi-Fi which is not strong enough for that but I will keep posting so I hope you keep watching...

[@jefferyb.3406]

Yes I will continue making videos I posted a couple other videos about a month ago I am not sure if you saw those the next video will be an engine Room Tour

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

@@jefferyb.3406 Very cool! I'm Canadian and disabled so I really appreciate being able to see thing I'll never get to see like the ass end of a container ship up close LOL hahaha! Cheers dude, thanks again for taking us along!!

[@TheTanelChannel]

Very interesting videos!! Great job filming and editing, keep on making content! :)

[@JeffOnboard]

[@lyndihodson9740]

Shipahoy Jeff..really enjoy your vlogs..no comparison but i used to work on Australian fishing trawlers..great lifestyle..container ships r so massive n really love all u do n show..cheers for the great info mate 👌👍💖

[@JeffOnboard]

Thanks Lyndi....Stay safe out there

[@captT]

Awesome video!

[@JeffOnboard]

I really appreciate that

[@wmbomb1079]

Jeff, greetings from SE Idaho, question how old if the Maersk Idaho to have all the corrosion & rust? i always enjoy your videos and pray for you and the entire crew's safety and wellbeing throughout the world while at sea.

[@JeffOnboard]

the ships have recently went in for the 55 year ship yard periods, and as ships are close to that date it has been close to 5 years since hull painting etc....3 man deck crews do a great job, but ships are huge so older ships show some need for paint especially as they are close to yard periods.

[@wmbomb1079]

@@JeffOnboard Thank You Jeff for responding back, your explanation makes a lot of sense going into dry dock to have their hulls painted and major maintenance performed all over the ship on a predetermined timeline. Be & Stay Well Jeff. Your fan from SE Idaho

[@neilharrison7555]

Good vid., but I'd comment that your new brackets for the light fittings really should have been at least primered, and preferably top coated before the lights were re-fitted, to ensure they don't start rusting straight away. I used to get fed up doing a job like that, only to find the deck crew were painting the other end of the boat! Therefore I used to take a small roller and a pot of paint with me, to get one coat on before re-fitting the light. Rust and paint, the No.1 and No.2 enemies at sea!

[@frankclark811]

Thanks

[@DavidBruner_NJ]

Why are the light brackets not hot dip galv? They would last years.

[@jefferyb.3406]

Yes that would be great I agree with you 100% but I had to work with what was available...

[@evomink]

What happened to the Montana? How often do you switch ships? Do you usually stay in the same class of ships?

[@EliteNK]

Recommended Gang 🤠

[@davidschick6951]

I wish I could still arc-weld.

[@matthewhall5571]

Random questions again as usual. When you have to work after dinner are you limited to 8 hours a day or are your shifts longer. Do the shifts rotate or always the same one. How do you handle time changes when you set your alarm to get up for work? Etc.

[@jefferyb.3406]

0800-1700 daily...extra is optional for OT

[@jonny6758]

@jefferyb.3406 what do you do after 5 just rest get some dinner maybe exercise take a walk on ship just wondering thanks

[@TheBeef49]

Hey Jeff, are you a 3d/4th Class engineer? Or a mechanical assistant ? Always was curious.

[@steelfist65]

Weren't you on the Montana?

[@jefferyb.3406]

Yes

[@joentexas]

It's not unusual for Merchant Seaman to move from ship to ship.

[@frankedwards5715]

Do the deckies follow on with painting?

[@jefferyb.3406]

Yes, they did

[@RBLXGaming23]

Where did you learn to weld?

[@danbskyguy]

Dang that ships in bad condition!

[@fitenite3955]

If you order packages or get mail, how do you get it?

[@danbskyguy]

A helicopter drops it off.

[@joentexas]

@@danbskyguy Or the mail boat brings the mail out.

[@jeremyboone6490]

Just wondering, how old are these ships?

[@JeffOnboard]

about 15-16 years old

[@AlexGonzalez-g7b]

Do you not have to wear uniforms on ships?

[@JeffOnboard]

Generally no some ships ask people to where their company covers while they are in the port but I normally never have to wear a uniform

[@AlexGonzalez-g7b]

@@JeffOnboard Oh okay would you be able to do a packing video since I plan on applying to siu this year I'd like to know what youd bring on a ship
