Hi Chief MAKOI, your videos are super interesting to see how you guys basically make the world economy tick, I have great respect for all you guys, I've been following along with you now for a couple of months, all your uploads are always packed with information on routines and tasks you carry out while in contract at sea or in harbour... Top Marks for all you share with us land bound folk, some will never understand what you all do to keep the world turning as it were... As always look forward to your videos...

Chief, I didn't know anything about Ocean going ships and those that sailed until you hooked me awhile back. Being a landlubber living in North Dakota, USA I'm 1800+- miles from the nearest port with the exception of Duluth, MN. On the shores of the Great Lakes. I'm equally fascinated with the size of ships as I am amazed on how some can stay afloat. Thanks for your experience, expertise on ships and willingness to share it. I think it's time for another life's adventure in sailing the oceans! Do you hire on many 75 year Olds with failing eyesight, one leg, and various extensive medical needs?🤪🇺🇸 I won't hold my breath waiting for a job offer! 😜🚢⛵🚤⛴🛳🛶🤪

Hi chief Makoi as a ex int truckdriver who used a lot of ferry,s in those days to cross the north Sea,Baltic ,Mediterenean,and Egeic Sea i always wondered how real life on those huge cargo ships was. Found your channel and you explain all very good,no heroc story,s and always when possible with numbers. Keep up the work with your channel and opening our horizon a bit more every video. And a new subscriber. May you and your crew have good and safe sailings now and into the far future

You do something rare in your videos, Chief. The way you deliver your content, somehow, in some way I can't even really pinpoint, makes it engaging and interesting. Maybe it has to do with your knowledge and you ability to deliver the content in a way that anyone and everyone can understand.

Chief. Makio thank-you for the videos which bring back memories when I worked on an older type steam turbine petrol tanker way back in 1973/4 as a young man. This ship needed a lot of attention on watches checking boiler water levels , the vacuum system, the evaporators and so on. Yet with all the hot and hard work it was also an adventure , like rough seas washing over the deck when the ship was fully loaded! Also the sense of freedom when FOP. I never liked it when the ship was anchored .Over all a time in my life I wil never forget.

But I would do everything again... Today I am retired!

A very unique way of life. Not for everyone. Made even harder by the current situation. Even on a normal contract so long away from home. I suppose you can look at it as also extended periods at home too. The engineering side of it is fascinating. The scale of what you work on is mind blowing. But as this global demand grows and they keep building more container ships there will be even more of you trekking around the World supplying all of us. Good job.

Great work Chief.

Thanks Chief! Reminds me of my brief time in the merchant marine back in the early 1980s, your vids bring back great memories...cheers! When I had free time on board, I carried a guitar and a camera. In those days, no smartphones, not even cell phones were happening. I wrote a lot too, and studied whatever interested me, including Bowditch, etc. The only time we got stuck so to speak was in Kaohsiung where they put our ship (SS American Aquarius in that case) in drydock for a few weeka, where we worked regular hours, you know. One of the things they did was to retube the boilers (yes, this was one of the last steamships!), and the rebuilt boilers lasted just long enough for me to get off in SF. Then, on their way to Yokohama the new tubes blew, and the ship had to be towed to Japan for a complete rebuild! But I missed that adventure...

Excellent, Chief. I used to work at Durban Harbour, South Africa, as a wharf-side shipping clerk in my young days. I often wondered about these things. There would be a lot of ships at anchor out on the Threshold. And there were ship chandling lighters going out all the time with water and supplies. But the crew only got to disembark for shore-leave, when the vessel was berthed wharf-side.

Chief, great answers to so many questions, thanks! My grandfather was a US merchant marine from age 20, yep before he was licensed. He got in trouble for taking a ship to sea before he had his captain’s license. They were waiting for him upon his arrival. He went on to make 9 transatlantic crossings to Italy and Africa during WW2. It all fascinates me.

Hi Chief :) When I was employed by Maersk Line, and was on the supertanker Kate Maersk, which lay at anchor just outside Aruba all the time I was on board (5 month, from the start of August 1984, to the start of January 1985). We were at that time filled with heavy fuel oil, and was like a storage ship. We had the opportunity to go ashore once a week, from Saturday morning until Saturday evening. When I was employed by Maersk, my salary was the same whether I was on board or at home on vacation. However, I only had my base salary without overtime etc. when I was home on vacation. And when I was a chef on board, that meant I never had a day off on board unless I did make an agreement with my head chef. And therefore I earned extra vacation days on board. So I have experienced having up to 4 months of vacation. :)
@cestmoi1262
@cestmoi1262 3 жыл бұрын
4 months vacation sounded like a pretty fair deal to me until I did some math. A 40 hour/week landlubber has 104 Sat/Sun per year, at least 8 paid holidays plus paid vacation (5 to 15 days average). Total: 117 to 127 days off. So 4 months falls right in the middle of that. In the end what counts is how you felt about your situation.

. This is a great video that shows the sailing life in a little different light. Thumb up! . Now. As for Los Angeles, how is it going specifically in this unique situation? > Are you getting the water needed? > How are supplies holding up? > How is the morale of the crew? > Do you have access to internet entertainment from onshore? (Have you used up all your movies yet?) > Is the captain allowing some special privileges to keep the spirits up? > Is there interaction between the ships at anchor? (I'm especially interested in this one.) . And a really thought provoking one... Whether action at the docks picks up or remains the same, your ship will still have to wait it's turn. Do you expect to be there for weeks of for months?

Hello Chief Makoi love your videos thanks. In years gone by we used to have sailors ashore and we used to love to have some social time with them a beer or two in some cases. I worked bunkering and fuel discharges in the port in my home town, often we got top go on borad and have a beer and a socila time with the crew, back in the late 60s 70s overseas ships particularly the English vessels were always great to party on board, once had a young lost english lad stranded in a pub on the outskirts of town, we took him back to his ship, the crew thanked us and asked would we like to come on board for a few drinks, we did and when it was time to go these sailors gave us a few cases of Asahi beer, I had never drank that beer and it was nice, occasionally we would work ships and be able to barter goods usually beer, I loved the English bass beer back then. I nearly had a chance to go to sea, the ship i was working was on its maiden voyage from Denmark it was part of the danish fleet Torm, I was offered a job as an assistant cook, but sadly I had to decline the offer

I have to add to this that when I was a sea as an engineer on salary to a British company - I was paid a yearly salary (monthly) whether at sea or on leave. The arrangement basically was 1day off for 2 days on deep sea and 1 day on 1 day off while I worked for a Northsea supply ship British company. 4-5 weeks turnaround. It is obviously different in other parts of the world.

Happy Holidays Chief Makoi. Your Vblog on making fresh water answered a question that I wondered about. If you have the time I have a few other questions. A. Does the ship have a APU, auxiliary power unit or system to use when sitting in port or if main engines are being repaired? B. How does the ship handle waste water? Do you store oily contaminated water or fluids? C. When in port does the crew receive shore leave or is it always a quick turn around. I enjoy your videos thank you for sharing them with us.

Three months off Fujairah with a 50000 m3 LPG carrier acting as a storage vessel in the 1980ties was kinda fun. Fishing as you said (plenty fish overthere) swimming in the vessels pool. Evaporator heating from the auxiliary engines (production achieved about one third of the normal capacity, which was quitte OK) However, flushing the toilets with fresh water was out of the question and so disconnected. In the corridors a few MT barrels were strategically positioned and filled with seawater from the nearest fire hydrant. Everybody was given a bucket, well, you get the picture how we flushed our toilets. Since the gensets were mostly running at high load due to the cargo of propane, we took the heavy HFO and Lub oil separator bowls out and placed them on a piece of plywood in the separatorroom to avoid brinelling of the lower spindle bearing, as vibrations in the hull due to the running gennies were of-course still present. (On that ship these were not placed on resilient mountings) Maintenance went on of-course as you explained, and during the night no alarms (on that good ship) with A/E’s on diesel and a donky boiler fired with diesel as well, so quitte a relaxed period all in all. Stores became a problem, buth our company had a regular RO-RO Europe -Persian Gulf service and with our lifeboats we took over stores, mainly beer😜

Hi Chief Makoi. You should hold a type of a call in type live cast / video. Since we cannot actually call into you, what we can do is ask questions and, you pick and choose which one that appears to be the most persistent to you. Or a question that seems to be more asked by several people asking the same question so it’s obviously a very popular question and you could pick that one. I know that on some of the other channels like your diving channels that men / women go cave diving, these video sessions that are held live, are extremely popular! You will have before you know it 200 or 300 people that will come into the room just to check you and your videos out. It really does drive up!!

I was on a cruise ship many years ago (not a crew member) tied up to a wharf in Port Moresby the capital of PNG. Several crew were fishing over the side when one of their lines went crazy. More crew and three barbs from a spear gun later they were able to use the now four lines to pull the fish up on deck. The ship sailed that night and the next day fish was on the menu for breakfast. I don't know what it was but it was huge. Something like 6ft long and high and a couple of ft across.

Neato. I find the lack of shore leave quite odd. (Because it looks like about the only possible single perk in a dangerous job that keeps you from your family for 6months at a stretch) Thanks, Chief. Love these videos.

When I turn 18, I really, wanted to be on a ship, like for life, so I had my 2 bf to go and check things out to the Ensenada's marine, they said: No girls allowed in the ship out in the ocean... worse day of my entire life... and then I lost i teresting on learning to swim😪🤧 so that's why I love this chanel, it makes my dream come true, thanks chief!!!

I would think that extra pay for exceeding days would be good thing BOTH for company and crew. For crew it is obvious but for company it would incentivice have their operation in tip top shape and also give hiring edge for sailors.

Thank goodness you can get boat supply drops in LA, because the 3 headed ,glow in the dark , Bum feces covered fish that live near the LA river outlet would not be a good alternative.

Chief: Just another hint..... Great Videos. I've always been fascinated by shipping logistics for some reason. Your channel is the best I've seen since I read the book "The Box" about the history and changes standardization of shipping containers brought to systems that had been done the same way for thousands of years.....I enjoy your videos...
