Our Ship Leaves Dry Dock

Hello everyone! This video is about our last few days in dry dock. The next episodes will be at sea!

Pwede makahingi ng advice para po sa papasok sa PMMA pero mahina sa math ano po maadvice NYO PO

[@kevincrosby1760]

It appears that shipyards are the same everywhere, whether the ship is civilian or military. Find a hatch that you might want to close to contain fire or flooding, and it will have a bundle of welding leads, hoses, power cords, flexible ductwork, etc. preventing it from being closed. I noticed that the lights went out when you shifted from shore power to ship's power. Do you simply open the bus tie for shore power then close the bus tie to the generators, rather than parallel with shore power then shift the load to the generators?

[@deguzmanronmilo4164]

Sir sa nxt vlog nyo po sir tips po sana para sa mga Engine Cadet hehe Thanks po

[@ChiefMAKOi]

@@kevincrosby1760 the shore connection us in the Emergency Switchboard. We don't have a means to synchronize it with the Main SB, hence the black out and then just close the CB from our generators. We just had to immediately restart the cooling water pumps.

Thanks for sharing Chief! Enjoyed it as usual.

[@MA_808]

My Dad who was a merchant mariner would have loved these videos so much. I watch all of them with him in my mind. thank you, Chief.

[@loberd09]

Same here. He passed about 12 years ago. He mostly worked on oil supply boats and barges before going into management. Just after I was born he went into his own boat business. In my office at home I have his captain stripes and sextants

[@MatthewHendrickson]

The way the ship was drydocked reminds me of how the USS Cole was returned for repairs.

Thank you for this video. My Uncle was an Esso Captain with a Masters Unlimited license after WW2.

[@pattyoneill91]

ahhhh i would feel so at home in the engine room. i work on a 64 foot, 100 year old mahogany and oak Chesapeake dead rise called the Mary Colman in New Haven CT. been on her a year and a half and a year and a half on the S.W Shepard, a 75 foot oak "behemoth" prior to the Colman. She too, is over a hundred years old. These boats have continuously been in service since the day they were launched and finished with the only downtime being a week or two every year for paint and regular service/maintenance and then I think a few times she was down for months to upgrade an old straight 671 Detroit to a John Deere 6081 and prior to that, put some new planks on, corking and some reinforcement. She is a strong ass boat for being wood and she doesn't displace much, she can go in 3 feet of water. The Shepard is just a straight animal. I serve as the sole deckhand and do most of the maintenance and all other non sense. constantly working on deck and constantly cleaning and doing maintenance, mostly on the old 471 pump motor. She needs way more attention than the JohnDeere 6081. You can find both the boats in a google search! The old "refit"(dont know if i should call it that?) and upgrades were done at Flanagan bros in New Jersey. You can see both boats on their website and a bunch of other cool boats on there. they're some of the only people left that are still in the business of larger wood vessels. Go to the projects tab, some real beauties including the two vessels of which I spoke. The company i work for owns a few more boats like those, the Grace, the Catherine(thing is Practially a museum with rope driven wheel and rudder, rope drives a hydraulic steering pump though haha still cool) and then the Ringold Brothers. the Ringold Brothers. www.flaniganbros.com/

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Glad you are back in motion, fair seas Chief.

[@bazoo513]

Ah, so the propeller has a kind of "stator vanes" behind (actually, in front) of it. I looked them up and learned they called "pre-swirl" vanes and that they minimize energy loss due to rotation of water in the propeller slipstream. Interesting.

[@johnferrier2803]

Wow Chief. I’m impressed with the complexity of your ship and the knowledge you and your crew must have to operate, maintain and make unexpected repairs while keeping the ship on schedule while everyone on board safe.

[@edinaldopereira2285]

I think, during the dry docking the Ship´s captain pass the command to the dry dock administration port, then the crew only follow the maintenance. When all is finished, the captain take it over again.

[@Plecosauga]

Thank you for the videos Chief! It gives me an insight on how my dad lived his life. He was a seaman since he graduated from university up to the time he retired early 90's, he was a Chief Engineer as well. A number of my uncles were ship captains but none of us children became seamen. They did not encourage us because they know the hardship seamen go through, salute to you seafarers! Sadly, my dad has passed away and I didn't have the chance to hear his adventures at sea. Today is his birthday...

[@BruceBoschek]

Thank you for these amazing videos.

[@titusgeorge7984]

As a retired ch engr, I like your videos.👍 Keep going

Safe trip always!

[@rickmatt3423]

Amazingly only nine days in dry dock, you Filipinos certainly punch well above your weight in the world of shipping. In Australia it would take nine days to fill out the paperwork for the safe work procedures, I guess that's why we are well outside any reality of competitiveness.

[@IanDarley]

Same in the UK, you'd have to do a risk assessment about paper cuts before you start your risk assessment.

[@gw5033]

Common sense first in this case.

[@LuigiRosa]

The safe procedures are in charge of the shipyard, they have all the documentation and training material. The bureaucracy is done by the ship (and the ship owner) before the vessels enters the yard. Once you are there you are required to follow the rules and in some cases to attend to a safety demonstration. In the yards I have been there are weekly emergency drills to simulate the evacuation of the ship.

[@Kosmonooit]

This drydock is not in the Philippines, its in Turkey (S03E04 0:46), although most of the seamen are Pinoy. Not sure there is a even dry dock Phils, any possibility of that would probably got killed by a million permits required and the palms that needed to get greased.

[@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24]

@@IanDarley yeh I'm in Aerospace industry and its a piss take there too, example sending 100s of engineering staff on a 6 hour mandatory training course about climbing stairs in the office! Not ladders I'm talking stairs... In the office. Madness

Chief a couple of years back i unsubscribed but i subscribed again ... i missed you, as a landlubber i missed your seafarers stories.

[@Chogogo717]

That’s a lot of paint in 9 days. Hard working guys.

[@picklepee2771]

In aircraft carriers it takes month's because the haul is blasted to bare metal and inspected rigorously. It seems here they only take rusted areas to bare metal and just sand down and defects and go in for another coat

Muito obrigado chef !🇧🇷❤🚢🧭

[@greyghostkoga]

I can fully appreciate what you and your crew goes through during dry dock. I work in a chemical plant and we annual shutdowns, also know as turnarounds, to perform work and repairs on systems that can't be addressed during normal operation. The hours are long, often for two weeks or more. Very exhausting. It's always a relief after we get the plant back up to normal operating conditions and getting back to a normal routine.

[@giggiddy]

Its cool to see those extra fins on the hull in front of the prop. Never seen that before. Also, I didn't know they polished the propeller. I assume the drag on the prop with primer on it is noticeable compared to a polished prop. Sure like your videos. The linger the better, sir. Thanks a bunch for your time on these.

[@garyplewa9277]

I wonder how the dry dock workers know where to place the blocks and how high to stack them to follow the contour of the hull? In water, the pressure on the hull is equal, but on blocks, if not supported evenly I would suspect that damage could occur. Simply amazing to see this. Thank you so much Chief MAKOi for your videos. By the way, I used to wonder how you and your crew learned so much about operating your ship until I watched the videos you did from PMMA. All I can say is WOW!

[@ChiefMAKOi]

The yard is given the ship's blueprints in advance so they can prepare the layout based on the specs.

When I was a kid in the 70's and 80's we used to drive passed Camel Laird shipyard in Birkenhead the other side of the Mersey from Liverpool from the flyover you could see all the ships props laid out flat on the ground, well on wooden packing, but the shear size of them is breath taking.

[@13699111]

Thank you for posting this video watching your walk under that ship gave me the same feelings .

[@WaterburnerActual]

Wow! She's Purty!! 😉 Nine days to get all that and of course the additional R&R's that were too numerous to mention completed, must've meant 24hr days, and off time of what felt like minutes. So goes the activities during a Restricted Availability. I'll say one thing though. No ship ever made it thru a successful yard period without those certain Yard Birds who made sure "those certain jobs" were completed during the current availability, and not pushed back to the next availability. These individs are invaluable and are deserving of recognition. So, I'm soo excited to see your next video fol a very short yard period. Especially want to hear how the prop is turning now! Imagine it has a new sound now that is pleasing to the ear and mind as well. Ok...Take Care & Stay SAFE!!
