The galley is the compartment of a ship, train, or aircraft where food is cooked and prepared.[1] It can also refer to a land-based kitchen on a naval base, or, from a kitchen design point of view, to a straight design of the kitchen layout.
The Chief Cook: This is the highest level in the hierarchy of ship galley jobs. The chief cook is the one who is in-charge of the galley as a whole. He is also known as the Executive Cook. It is the chief cook’s responsibility to check for the menus and assign duties to other professionals working in the galley.
The Assistant Chief Cook: As the name suggests, the assistant chief cook is required to assist the chief cook in the planning and organising of meals and menus. Also the duty of the assistant chief cook extends to maintaining the presentation aspect of the meals and menus.
In this video, I will be giving you a guided tour of the MAERSK Ship. All the merchant navy aspirants going to join the life at sea will benefit a lot from this video, since the general layout of engine room on Cargo ships is more or less the same.
Merchant navy has various departments & I am from the Navigation department. I have recently been promoted to the rank of a 2nd Officer onboard Maersk Ship.
Enjoy the video & don't forget to give it a big thumbs up if you found the video informative .
Also for those who are new to the channel - I am Karanvir Singh Nayyar , a second officer in Maersk , vlogging my Life At Sea Journey.
So don't forget to hit that subscribe button & turn the bell notification on ;) if you wish to watch my life from the 7 oceans in the world.

Haha he is almost right

[@rodfair5698]

Believe it or not. The only position on a ship that MUST be filled before sailing, is that of ships cook with the certificate to prove it. You can get a time and distance waiver from the authorities for Capt., Chief., even Doctor, but not cook!!

[@jason13daniels]

Much respect for this video, the Chief and Second cook. My Dad (RIP) was a Purser for many years so seeing the Galley and provision stores bring back good memories. Thank you KSN!

[@tomhughes6514]

If the chef is unhappy the crew are unhappy. When the chef is good and willing to accommodate the different likes and dislikes of a crew, that makes the entire ship company happy. Big point is how clean the place is very important particularly getting different foods on board from all ports. Great video.

love the cook. what a cool guy. seems very friendly, very educational. ironically, it is the galley that is likely the least understood parts of the ship for most people. it is also good to note that the store room and food will be stocked significantly different from ship to ship. For Jones Act US ships where crew is fully American, you can expect the food and stores to be what you would find normally in USA.

Their only diversion is their food and their books and videos/DVDs. I love indian food. The potatoes and cauliflower curry is so good. Chicken curry. Love persian food too. Kebabs and basmati rice with saffron with fire roasted tomatoes. To die for. Oh i would work on the ship just to get a steady diet of this wonderful chef's cooking.
