Well done Chief. Upgrading your education will pay dividends for the rest of your career, as well as your life. It's a ton of work, but well worth it.

[@jameslanning8405]

A clean engine is a happy engine! Your crew does a good job at general maintenance! It's a pleasure to have a crew that mostly works together as a team. I say mostly, cause, after all, it's a bunch of guys! Trouble is never far away! LOL

Much respect chief hello from Cleveland Ohio USA 🇺🇸🚔

[@cristiano7378]

Welcome to Brazil sir! Our bests regards! Tks for your videos 🇧🇷

[@matthewrikihana6818]

my father was a Stevadore for the British Phosphate Commission in the 70 & 80s. As little kids, he'd take us on board the ships, very cool, and why I enjoy your videos so much. Straight out of school, I did a stint as a Seagull, a Warfy, working those hoppers unloading that Super Phos. Later, I was a Fitters-Mate doing maintenance on the Grabs. The ones in your video seem very well maintained, I didn't see too much leaking but still always enough for someone to push a broom around and get it back in the hold. Bravo, Chief.

[@yomero1195]

¡Gracias! Chief I just saw your interview of Propelme at your School, excelent interview by the way. Saludos desde México, greetings from México Chief.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thank you!

[@pedroqg]

Chief, if you need lubricants I will be happy to assist you. We deliver in bulk and drums at Rio Grande 😊 You'll be able to reduce the maintenence interventions with your main engine cylinder oil 😉

[@nakamakai5553]

Chief, another amazing production, and why I love your art. I've been to scores of counties in my state, 44 states in the US, but only eight other nations - - Your travels, adventures, stories, and explanations of what you show us are priceless for those of us who will never achieve such opportunities. Please keep on bringing it!!

[@xSKUNGUS]

i’m a brazilian-american marine engineering student at massachusetts maritime academy, so seeing a video made in my beautiful country gives me a lot of pride!! thank you so much chief!

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment. Fantastic that you look after the staff with treats at port. It all makes for a happy crew.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

@@skyh: I agree. Especially since we now know that the virus is man made, with a 99. 99% rate of survival should you catch it. My wife got the jab and two boosters. ( Her job as a caregiver made it a mandate due to the fact that their elderly population was at risk) I’ve finally convinced her to not get the newest jab. I never got one, as I saw this for something not good for our bodies.

[@celocf170]

Thank you for another amazing video, Chief! Greetings from Brazil! Wondering if you have ever been in Itaguai Port, Rio de Janeiro (CSN Terminal)….I work there :)

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Yes I have, in Itaguai. But during COVID. Thanks!

[@ismaellopescp2]

I'm a brazilian 3rd engineer and I'm very happy to see a video from a very powerful channel of marine engineering education like yours!

​I have enjoyed your videos for a long time now. You are such an excellent speaker, and documentary style educator. Stay well. :)

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thank you very much!

[@SA-76234]

Hello Cheif I enjoy your videos. Never been on one of those big ships but I do work on trains and haul the same stuff here in the states. Links cool to see how it gets to where it’s going on the sea.

[@ivanfmartinezm]

Much greeting for you chief Makoi, my respects, ETO from BSM Venezuela Good Job, beautiful video.

Welcome Chief! A shame that you and others can't leave the ship to enjoy my country... Salute from a service engineer of life saving appliances and a long time subscriber. Keep the good job! 😁👍

I eventually did. I was there again last month 😊

Great vlog as always Chief! When the sailboat in the river passed by it looked like snow covred peaks in background. I looked again and I saw the trees. Lol! Keep up the good work. Be safe!

[@ChiefMAKOi]

You're not the only one 😄

[@Lost-In-Blank]

True in most all companies: If you run out of work, you'll get laid off. But, yes, some places are more intense than others, but that rule remains. I love all your videos Chief!

[@trevormason1732]

Well dun chief you will be at top of your profession soon😊😊😊😊

[@ImigrentfromMars]

Good to see you again and when I was running my company buying food for the guys was great for them and me as well, Seeing you do this brought back some good memories.

[@gaius_enceladus]

"Brazilian ports have always been popular with seafarers. Shopping and food, beautiful women......." Oh, Chief, you ol' *tiger!* Still a bit of life in the ol' "engine room", ay! Keep up the great work! Safe journeys!

I could have seen a man’s head in the last clip of the shovel ? I know it’s not, but chiwawa! I’ve watched it several times and it looks the same every time. Crazy. Thanks Chief. Godspeed and Godbless.

We are really glad you are enjoying your studies with us, thanks for showcasing your experience and showing others how studying whilst still working at sea can really work.

Hi Chief For a moment I thought you had gone back in time and now had a square rigger, many congratulations on keeping your crew happy and your engines so clean. Tell me are scavenge manifold fires still a risk or has better lubricants and servicing sorted that. Have you ever wanted to be part of the crew on a tall ship Keep up the good work

[@jeffwalther]

It's been fifty years but I still remember the pizza and cold milk delivered to the ship on out first night in Perth, Australia.

[@BrianSmith-gp9xr]

Great show. Good job.

[@denroybuildingandlesch]

Thanks sir for your suport to your stuff

[@dzikijohnny]

In the US Navy my ship pulled into Rio in about 1990...good times...what I most remember is the food though...the weather was bad so the beaches were empty.

[@nvragn]

Thanks!. Hopefully this will help with your goal of doing extra things for your crew. Also next time you are there please be sure to get pizza again. I've never seen such a good looking pizza and I bet it is even better than it is. Take care care Chief 👍🇨🇦

"Let's take a look out of my porthole" is never a good sentence in Internet videos. Luckily Chief MAKOi's videos are exception and the views are great. 😂😂👍👍

It's really hard to believe that bulk cargo is still unloaded one bucket at a time. And then you have to clean every particle out of the holds for the next shipment. Wow.

Hello! This ship is the "Cisne Branco" ("White Swan") of the Brazilian navy, where military sailors are trained. (if I am not wrong)

[@emile1661]

Hello Chief, dear Mark, nice episode again (as always). I was wondering if you can create a production about the engineroom and its fire-hazards. Show and explain where potential problems are and i'm convinced that with your educational skills it will be an interesting video. Thank for considering. Emile from Holland

CHIEF! First, thank you very much for many hours of relaxation, education and peace of mind. Your videos have literally help me, and I’m sure others, get through the day. I have a question, can you sail a sail boat? Just curious because you showed the sailing ship in the beginning of the video and it made me wonder. Following seas my friend.

[@askcitizenfitz]

Some years back a guy got trapped in the scavenging manifold just before his ship got under way. He died from a heart attack. Man, what a sad way to go.

[@WaterburnerActual]

Howzit, Chief and Chief Subs!

[@mikaelmalmqvist6090]

Hi Chief. Thank you for the videos and all the info. Always a pleasure to see when there is a new video uploaded. I will check out this, regarding the University of Plymouth. What is the size/model of the ME on your vessel. Stay safe and Safe Sail always. Ingat.

Cool, thanks. 6S50 MC

Very good video !

[@MrFabpunk]

Nice video

[@HenokFayera]

You always stay for long day at port compare to other types of ship , which create to have a sufficient time for vacation (shore leave)

[@clinicallyspeaking-themedi5069]

Chief, Love your blog. I can't wait for your postings. When you say 'SIM', do you mean an actually SIM card purchased at port or just a virtual SIM using an app such as Airalo for when you have internet access? These kind of 'virtual SIMS' are incredibly convenient.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Yes, actual sim cards. Airalo is limited only to specific phone models.

I’ve noticed the picture you have of yourself with a pipe in yur teeth. So as a fellow pipe smoker (assuming you actually are also) what’s yur favorite pipe and favorite tobacco ?

[@PhilRable]

A bit trivial I guess, but given how dirty work gear must get, you must have good laundry services in board

[@jefersonfischer]

Valeu!

Thanks!

[@lizj5740]

Hi, Chief MAKOi. Do you know the name of the sailing vessel that was being guided into harbor in this video? Probably too long ago for you to remember, but I thought I'd ask. Safe voyage from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.

[@ChiefMAKOi]

I didn't actually see the name 😊

if i'm not wrong, Brazilian Navy training ship Cisne Branco

[@lizj5740]

@@joaonagae Thank you. A Google search says you are right! The U.S. Coast Guard has a sailing ship that is used for training, and I saw it occasionally in New London, Connecticut.

hopefully shore leave is allowed soon.

What happened to your vid on working with Japanese sailors?

[@jasonhansen782]

Wo😮. We could unload faster with shovels and friends in Duluth

If you ever find yourself destined for anywhere near Puerto Rico or New York harbor, be sure to make contact with TimBatSea. He's another youtube content creator and a tug captain who handles bunker barges.

[@deanoz9307]

Chief, are you able to use star link Internet services on the ship?

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Our ship hasn't installed Starlink yet. It's a different more expensive equipment and subscription for Starlink Maritime. I think our company's contract with the present internet provider has not expired yet.
