I will never be a seafarer, but I actually enjoy your tutorial videos. I learn quite a lot. Your style of presentation and mannerism also adds value to the quality of the tutorials. I respect the marine industry a whole lot more as a result. Thank you.

[@Glostahdude]

Wish I thought about this as a career choice before now…. Fear I’m too old to start now

[@TheRathead80]

@@Glostahdude I'm gonna tell you I have classmates in my class for Marine Engineering, one Is 47 the other is 52. So it's not too late. I am 7 years out of highschool

@@TheRathead80 oh really? I’ll be 47 in August….. maybe it isn’t too late!

[@BrettonFerguson]

I'm never going to work on a ship either. I just enjoy watching videos without being bombarded by politics. If this were a documentary on American TV, even a documentary about resupplying ships, somehow they would squeeze in political propaganda. It would be an hour long with 50 minutes talking about climate change, trans rights, and diversity in the shipping industry. It is so nice to just relax and be entertained and not think about politics.

[@AM-dn4lk]

In my U.S. Naval career (CTF-77 Pac Fleet) the one basic commandment is: "Chiefs run the Navy" and now I know that the same is true of the Merchant Fleet! Thank you Chief Makoi , Fair Winds and Following Seas for all you do.

Good to see you guys didn't get caught up in the current Suez traffic jam. I can only imagine the stress on crews as they are stuck waiting.

[@horacedamino5401]

Hello Chief. I am a retired police captain from Albany Ny. I teach college now online. First let me say I pray for your and your crew mates’ safety. Second I find, because Albany ny is a deep water port, great interest in your life on ship. My great uncle was a first mate on a Sucony (now Mobil) tanker during WWII AND THE 50s and I remember the tanker tour. Old fashioned diesels and the smell of bunker oil. You have matured as a video artist with your natural talent and your willingness to learn. Stay safe, so many of us vicariously work and play around the world with you. John.

[@alsdrone6250]

Your crew always seem to be smiling and happy whilst working, happy worker's are the best workers, well done chief 😁🇬🇧

The One industry that kept going for the world even during a deadly pandemic; salute to all the seamen.

[@solonyetski]

Well, as much as 99% survival rate could be considered "deadly".

[@Sinyao]

@@solonyetski 1% fatality rate doesn't sound too bad unless it's incredibly contagious. People like to compare covid to the common cold or flu, but the flu has like a 0.022% fatality rate, which means covid is 50 times more likely to kill you. And several hundred times more likely to leave long lasting to permanent damage to your body, judging by statistics.

[@solonyetski]

@@Sinyao that point is moot because there are already cures and simple preventions for it. It’s mostly, in general, the fault of the governments and the shmucks who follow their every command that they refuse to take the necessary actions and end up dying from it. Besides, people die all the time and you don’t give an f about it, but since the media tells you to be afraid of this, now every death matters and self-flagellation must be performed by everyone. Also, the statistics aren’t exactly accounting for the natural selection of how virusesmutate to become more contagious but less deadly. I will not be convinced on technicalities in a vaccuum.

[@lando1071]

The weights are insane. "Just" 100 tons to top off! The ship is so heavy without even including the cargo. Wow.

[@iMadrid11]

Ain’t Buoyancy a wonderful thing. In some cases. The ship has to pump in water into ballast tanks to balance the ship’s weight.

[@whoisthis442]

"Just" is a right word for that, for ship that big 100 tons of MGO is such a small amount, enough for just 3-4 days (not really enough for full 4 days), which is almost negligible considering how long ship travels through sea without refueling.

[@jameshammons2354]

700 tons two types of fuel

[@liammay7756]

100 tons really isn't that much weight

[@Gunnr1236]

Why does seeing something as awe-inspiring as the Rock of Gibraltar seem so much more impressive when it comes from a “friend”, or someone you follow through their travels?? Once again, Chief, thank you for another great video!!

[@kalts007]

I just want to say, that you really are a shining example of leadership and caring for your crew! 🙂 If all leaders would share this characteristic, I believe we would have a lot fewer lives (and limbs) lost due to working accidents. Safe voyages to you!

[@brucenadams1]

Another great video. Your comments about watch management are spot on. I remember being relieved from the mid-watch at 0415. Trying to get some rest only to go back to the bridge for refueling. No rest. Breakfast at 0600. Provisions coming in at 0700. No rest. Back on watch at 1145. You start to see things that don't exist and you don't see things that do exist. Very dangerous.

[@NomenNescio99]

Mackerel are absolutely delicious when fresh, I love to fry them and serve with tomatoes, onions and dill finished off in the frying pan on top. But I'm pretty sure you Philippino guys have got an even better way to serve mackerel.

( i live in Spain with lots of olive trees) Delicious!! I love cold smoked fish too, but I can do that in winter only when outside temperature is low enough. Good appetite!

I just found your channel & I find it fascinating. How interesting to get a glimpse into a life so different than my own

[@connork5339]

I laughed when you mentioned quantity disputes. I was reminded of a bunkering operation where we suspected that after the dispute was "resolved" with a very testy relief chief and the fuel barge, the barge must have sent us their oily bilge water to make up the difference. Constant filter changing and we set new records for the number of times of purifier breakdown and cleaning. Damn, I miss that life. Have a good watch chief.

[@Beemer917]

This is so pleasant to watch, relaxing . I say that because a while back I picked up a disgusting and possibly dangerous addiction. An addiction populated by creatures so vile and disgusting as to make your typical street junkie seem as pure and trustworthy as your own grandmother. Im speaking about Downton Abbey , of course. Its like Sons of Anarchy ,or , the Shield set in Edwardian times. Finally I broke the destructive habit and have not been back to it. I'll gladly spend me evenings watching the Chief and the rest of the crew toil and moil up and down the worlds oceans and fall asleep feeling happy and, somewhat pure.

[@kevinwallace1499]

"Only 8 tones of oil" Just crazy to think about

[@matthewbeasley7765]

Only 8 tons of lube oil. He also said "only 100 tons of light oil"

Imagine if you had to go to AutoZone and buy a few thousand quarts of oil.

[@gregknipe8772]

a long time fantasy of mine has been to work on ships. it has amounted to taking every chance I have to watch ships near port, and to imagine. the value of this show is that you present in such a way that many questions I never knew to ask, get answered. in each show. great to see a small part of the lifestyle and the COMMITMENT sea farers are a part of. and little that I consume falls outside of the shipping business as the provider of the goods.

[@Zakaius]

👍 interesting if one's is interested in seamen's life. I worked as mechanic in ofsho installation for 10yrs +. So life away from home in long durations living on a metal island is nothing new. But fishing 🎣 on occasion make life livable. Salamat kuya for your familar video.

[@barbroevanderlindquist4128]

Nice video MAKOi! But I must ask, is it often happening that you go without cargo from Saudi to South America? Not an economical tour and the income !?Just a reflektion! Barbro Sweden

[@marko11kram]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@lachlanlandreth9069]

If possible they will try to take a load. But it will often be too much of a hassle to load, sail and then discharge cargo. If they are going to load a grain or another food product the cargo hold needs to be certified as clean. So it would be extra work for a ship to take grain one way, and say, scrap metal another way having to clean the hold out and get it re certified.

[@barbroevanderlindquist4128]

Well as I remember i never herd that my father was aboard a boat that was sailing empty. Even during the late 1940-ties after the war they was shipping papermass for newspaper and diesel for the wahle kockership up in the farnorth. He was in the Swedishfleet during ww2 patroling the Northsee barrier and protect the convojs to America ! He was in NewYork at the war end at Manhattan! Chief Maikos videos is among the best on the You Tube ! Barbro Sweden

[@lachlanlandreth9069]

@@barbroevanderlindquist4128 bulk ships along with tanker's commonly sail empty to return for another load of cargo. With bulk loading, it's important the hold is clean and cross contamination won't happen with sensitive loads. You wouldn't want a crude oil tanker to load refined oils and fuels without cleaning the holds, so it's easier and cheaper to only carry crude.
