Starting up the Ship's Engine and leaving port
Uploaded just on time after watching the premier of Game of Thrones S8E01! I hope you enjoy this guys. Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT and for those who are new to my channel, SUBSCRIBE!!!
I'm a new sub. Very interesting content. Stay safe !
Super sir
Sir I am kindly request sir you want upload Electro technical officer job life and story sir please sir you want upload sir I am a BE EEE holder I want join ETO course so you want upload sir
I’m not allowed to watch Game of Thrones 😐😭
I just watched this after watching GoT. Good combo.
Guy is so chilled, humble and clever .......makes you feel like he is talking to you personally.
I agree, Brian. It's like your sitting the kitchen table having a conversation with an ole friend.
That person is the chief engineer of that ship
@@nazarenopondoc7873 I was surprised.
They release the mooring lines! I thought these ships were responsible for continental drift, towing entire continents about. ;)
Seriously though, calm and thoughtful voices educate, idiots screech and bellow.
He is like an old friend. He also has a good sense of humor
Agreed, man. Chill and very educational.
Seriously fascinating. Please do more of these procedural videos. They are riveting. Thanks, Chief!
Patrick Mooney its not a matter of procedures, its a matter of technical knowledge, a good ships engineer works from his knowledge and experience!
Chief you have great skill of representation..😍 The way you explain is very simple and easy to understand.. one last wish to sail with you at least once.. Love from india💗
Too bad this video also lacks the sound of the actual start of the engine.... That’s what I’ve been waiting for.
Me too!
Maybe too loud 🔊
Me too. Adding sounds to the machinery makes it all so much more alive.
jxdigital thank you for making this clear .i was skipping ahead and couldn’t find the sound of the start up 🤨.
Maybe the phone microphone just blocked it out.
Nice content, good editing, pleasant background music, pleasing video work and informative narration! Thanks!
Missed oppertunity:
The sound of the engine instead of the music!
all praise the youtube algorithm
It's back again
@@Matt-pd2cq and again
When you mentioned that it wasn't as simple as turning a key, I was hoping you'd say that it takes "2 keys" like one of those really secure lock boxes. =D
In any case, thanks for the cool video and showing a side of how we acquire a bunch of the goods we enjoy every day. It's amazing how much of a regimented and procedure-driven environment seafaring and aviation are. Ultra high-stakes if you get it wrong.
Cheers, Chief!
I thought you can start em with a remote control.. 😜
As merely a casual observer, I find the operations of large engines to be fascinating as well as the actual operation of a ship. Thanks Chief.
I was learning to be a ship’s engineer in 1967 for Texaco in London, England, but the maths was too hard for me and I dropped out. The ships back then must have been mainly steam turbines because we concentrated so much on them. And the mathematics involved with steam was too much for me. Imagine the lead time for starting a ship’s boilers and turbines back then lol.
gm16v149 I go to mass maritime. We still have a steam ship for our training ship. Lots of math in school but you never need it in the field
Getting a steam turbine ready takes about the same time. GM, I started in 1970, and finished a couple of years ago, big changes over the last 50 years. Brilliant job, loved it most of the time!
Super detailed and informative! It doesn't take for granted that the viewer knows anything about ships, and covers each step. Thank you for teaching me. I didn't realize that 2 cycle ships used engines, not transmissions, to reverse. But I guess without camshafts it doesn't matter.
Thanks Chief, I much enjoyed that, more edifying and heartwarming than Game of Thrones. Having been a powerhouse and gas compressor plant operator for several years. Your essential systems are similar to Fairbanks Morse OPs, GM EMDs and even GE Frame 5 turbines, and I'm sure the intuitive bond an 'Operator', or in your realm an 'Engineer' develops with his engines as almost living machines is the even more intimate when it's the sole piece of equipment that moves your voyage and your lives depend on.
Thanks Jack. That's true. Even with all the noise in the ER, you can tell something's wrong because something sounds slightly different. Even when in my cabin if I feel the ship's vibration change or suddenly the humming sounds change, I immediately call the watchman and ask what's happening.
Another Quality and informative vlog
thanks chief! Keep up the amazing vids..
Thanks so much chief! Your vídeos always are very interesting and fully of knowledge. I'm a Venezuelan deck cadet waiting to my first ship and i really learn waching your vídeos. Greetings chief! My respects.
I came in thinking that this was going to be "just another engine starting/running video". I was very wrong. Nicely shot and expertly yet simply explained. And the bonus time lapse is always an excellent addition. Well done, good sir.
Many Thanks.
Just Total Engineering ..
And real life seamanship.
Really inspiring kind of person. Humble 🙏 God bless to us all seafarers 🙏
Very interesting. A lot goes on just to start a ship's engine up. I had no idea it would involve all that. Thanks for posting learning new things is nice.
What I always find amazing is that the engine rooms on most freighters are cleaner then most people's houses
Probably because those that aren't clean aren't shown on video
These videos are awesome, thanks for making them.
Thanks chief Makoi
Hopefully more videos to be upload like this. Thumbs UP
Love your content chief! Having grown up in the desert I know very little about ship operations. You have opened a window to a side of life I will never experience.
You are not only a superb chief engineer but you are also chief at engineering superb videos.
It's a bit more involved than putting her in neutral, pressing the glow plug button for 40 seconds then turning the key.
Hello Chief Makoi. Always amazed by your vlogs. Have a safe voyage.
Very well explained how to prepare the main machine of the ship before entering or leaving port🚢👍
So does the engine rotate clockwise and anticlockwise depending on direction required? With valves and injection controlled externally this would be relative easy for a computer to make happen.
Great presentation! I am a Deck Officer in the US Merchant Marine and after more than 30 years, I have finally seen the engine start from the Engine Room.
No one :
TH-cam recommendation : how ship's engine starting up
Very cool video Chief. Never knew so much work went into docking or leaving port. Always enjoy the videos much love to you and the crew from Windsor, Connecticut USA.
Thanks Bernard!
Non-seafarers need to understand what you said, the main engine is directly connected to the propeller and to change from ahead to astern or vice versa the engine is stopped and then started up again in the new direction, this is unlike your car that you can put in neutral with engine still running and your car engine always runs in the same direction. If the engine is turning so is the propeller. this also limits the lowest speed the ship can travel at, the equivalent to idle in your car with the gear engaged either forward or reverse. Steering the ship is much dependent on water flow from the propeller over the rudder, without the engine running it would require very large rudder angles to be effective at all. Going from ahead dead slow to astern dead slow takes some time and if the ship has been running even at a dead slow speed it will continue for considerable distance even when the engine is stopped.
You look eerily familiar to captain haddock....tinitins adventure
Incredibly amazing 😉 & fascinating. Keep going Chief. 👍🙏🇵🇭
Ty❤️
8:43 What about this poor guy stuck on the little concrete thingy? Does he have to swim home?
Was wondering Exactly the same thing❤
Thanks for the video. Very good JOB. Congratulations
1 minute into the video and I’m thinking the shipping industry needs massive investment in innovation, automation and sensors... it’s all done manually! No wonder it’s complicated and not as easy as turn the key and sail away 🤦🏻♂️
In coming generations, this will be obsolete for sure like steam engines do, solar boats are comming, large electric motors and gears will do it digitally automaticaly I think,
Hey Chief,,,,Landlubber here....again....Really enjoyed this video.....as usual....Your narration of your video is very relaxing...I grew up in a house with no walls, no floors, no ceilings....Just “Overhead, Bulkhead, and Deck....Yeah, I’m a Navy Brat...And proud of it!!!! With that in mind, please be careful out there...Not only is Mother Nature out to get you, but now pirates are targeting Commercial Shipping not to mention “Terrorists”...(Bombing of 4 ships in a port in the UAE today)....Please be careful, and keep those videos coming....Thanks again!!!!
Dude... you make videos like this in your spare time??
You might have missed your calling...
Very good observation!!!
Imagine starting your car like this for daily commute to office.
Get a few drinks into me, and I'd think it was easy.😱😂💥
Dude this is the type of stuff kids should be watching.
This vlog is the best way to enhance our learnings specially in marine engineering studies thank you sir! 😊
Very helpful videos for non seafarers! Thanks a lot z!
It reminds me my previous vessel when i was an engine cadet sir Chief Makoi, same design and machinery arrangement. But your ship is much more upgraded, it's a camless main engine, very nice sir.
Now you working on which company
Very interesting content, very well filmed and explained. Very educational. I had no idea that there was so much manual work necessary just to start a ship's engine! Excellent! Many thanks! All the best, Rob
Thanks Rob! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Those "Ropes" as you called them, we always referred to them as "Lines" - my father was a Tug-Boat capt for many years and said you hang a criminal with a ROPE, you tie off my tug with a LINE........
Lol he did say thick ropes or mooring lines
On a sailboat they are always called lines
Always referred to as lines.
Yet mooring lines can be rope or wire.
Krapula Genkula but these were non-metalic lines also could be called Hawsers. Onboard us navy ships rope refers to wire.
Wow, I've watched ships come and go from Freeport, TX, and I've only seen PILOT boats, but never a PILOT helicopter
Nice video, my grandfather was a Liberty Ship Captain in WWII, and continued as a Merchant Ship Captain until retirement in 1973. During my childhood I had the chance to stop by for his chats with some of the tug crew he knew in Savannah GA, and in later years he drove sailors from the port to play soccer with the local Savannah team, was something the local port Chaplin did back in the later 70’s. Had the pleasure of touring a few freighters that were in port. So far not ever had the experience of going to sea, slowly getting to old to do so. Seems computers and digital stuff has taken over as a Ham Operator, always though running the radio room would be interesting.
Thanks for watching James!
As I was an engineer away at sea this guy certainly ,shows what it is all about,some of the best years of my life,will never regret one minute,,,! Thanks for bringing back the memories,,,!!
Really interesting video, pretty different to all other engines one have experienced :-)
Thanks!
Excellent! For future videos I believe the actual sounds of the winches, engine and crew should be emphasized over the annoying twanging guitar.
What a great video! It's so cool to see all the details. Thank you taking the time to create this. I'm curious how long it takes from the engine to go from maneuvering speed ahead to maneuvering speed astern? It's hard to get my mind around the fact that you have to stop and restart the engine to change direction. Fascinating stuff. Thanks again!!!
The engine has an automatic load program. So even if you do a "crash astern", it won't immediately give the amount of fuel necessary to go on full. Except if you push the "cancel program" button which is a manual override and only to be used in emergencies because doing so could potentially overload the engine.
We'll done. Newton law of motion remains the same even though there are technology advance to suit their work atmosphere. Happy on/off shore journey. Long live. Thanks.
ChEng, If the PMMA and the USMMA aren't using your videos in their curriculum, they are missing a great training resource. As always, a great job. DG
Thanks David!
I agree sir. Your vids should be seen by the 3rd class cadets.
Hey Chief, well done and pls don’t leave any Demurrage 😊
My whole life is less critical than this!
Hats off CHIEF..., no words.
One of the best episodes from you, and believe me, I've seen all of them.
Thks indeed for sharing.
You're the best sir 👍
Fascinating video, you answered all my questions, thanks!
Fair Winds Chief!
Chief tanong ko lng po mahirap poba mag apply pag marine engineering???
Chief, I have to say.... watching your videos brings peace to me, I think it’s your voice and music choices. Thank you 🙏
Awesome.. I'll allways keep this information on hand to remind me of key factors on ME preparation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you Mate USS BLUE RIDGE LCC19 , 🇺🇸
Are large ocean ships all diesel powered these days Chief? Or are there still steam turbines with oil-burning boilers still around? Our training ship in 1967 was the Glen Strathallan which had a triple expansion steam engine, but they would be a museum pieces nowadays haha.
There are modern steam engines but mostlt for the LNG carriers. The boilers burn the boil-off gas from the cargo.
That makes sense! No time wasted for bunkering, just use the cargo 😀. Do some of the other types of tankers use their cargo as fuel for their engines?
Very nice operation and presentation! Loved the shot of the tug through the hawsehole. Made the whole process look really majestic with the photography and editing. I've only been on one big ship, but ran my own shrimp trawlers for about 18 years and my mooring and docking by my self in wind and tides never went this smooth!
Always remain the same! No, 250 years ago men working on ships might have said the same thing about their ships?
Please don't miss the engineer and his assistants hard worked clothes... It's a tough job... Great video Sir... Regards from an Indian seafarer....
Really enjoy your videos. The narration is really good and matches the image editing nicely. Thanks!
This makes Grand Theft Ship so much easier.
Thanks for the tutorial.
What're Piston rods, crosshead in large Marine engines?🤔
plz reply!!
Crosshead are conrods from the piston to a fixed sliding up and down joint and below that the conrod acts as it normally would if it were attached to the piston directly. Ie moves up and down and allowed to go side to side. Crosshead help eliminate piston and bore sideways wear
Enjoyed the engine start PREP workup but was expecting to see the engine starting/running operation.
Your videos are so fun and so well done thank you for sharing may seem like everyday life to you but it kind of makes for a fun watch for the rest of us thank you thank you thank you keep up the good work
It's amazing to see see how things have progressed over the years
My first ship was a 1950's built tanker with a 9 legged Sulzer. There was no control room and only 2 alarms, one for the FO purifier and one bilge alarm
My first ship was 1960s built tanker with a Doxford opposed piston engine. Two pistons in each cylinder. No control room. Engine orders telegraphed from the bridge.
Fascinating! I had no idea so much goes into just getting a ship's engines up, and running. Thanks.
DOUBT!
Do marine engines have a CVT system? If not how does a vessel stay stationery after the main engine has been started? Please help sir
some of philippine merchant marine academy graduate so very smart.i'm from US mariner but im full blood filipino
nice video thank you very much sir..
Mankoi I swear you should have your History channel or discovery channel show this is a professional video every time so detailed and interesting I can’t wait to see the next I just found your channel so I have some catching up to do stay safe on the ocean my friend looking forward to seeing the next thank you 🙏
Nice video! A bit more advanced than the US Navy frigates and destroyers I was on. No boiler! You are right, the standard Underway procedure is basically the same for all ships. Shift Colors, Underway!
Excellent explanation and photography. You explain very clearly making it very understandable. Thank you! :)
Another VERY interesting VLOG Chief
Another excellent vlog, Chief! Very informative. I was an ME myself, and you explained it very well even for an everyday Joe.
Thanks!
Lol its like trying to get my x girlfriend in the mood......
Hello sir. I'm an Engine Cadet po, I'm curious for what will happen if the gases inside the cylinder were trapped inside/not released. Will it affect the temperature po ba?
You won't have combustion for the next cycle because there's no oxygen.
@@ChiefMAKOi Thank you so much sir.
God bless and keep safe po kau dyan sa barko chief makoi..
What an awesome presentation, this was an all around well made video hands down.
Hey man. I really liked your video. I'm a video director and your genuine demeanor and chill style make this really enjoyable. Thanks for putting in the work to create this.
Landlubber again...something I forgot to mention....If any of the people out there watching your videos happen to be in the San Francisco area, please make visit to the Jeremiah O’Brian....It’s one of only 2-3 working Liberty Ships still afloat and running....A foundation supports the vessel, and takes it out at least once a year around the Farralon Islands off of San Francisco Bay...You can visit the entire ship, including the engineering spaces....It has a triple-expansion steam engine and is completely fascinating!!!
Superb video, well done my man!
I agree.
Really appreciate this video. Calm clear delivery of information. Perfect Teaching Tool. RESPECT is due to the author!!
Thank you for taking the time to create and upload this video. So many things happen 'behind the scenes ' that the multitude of us have no clue how and where it happens. This was most informative and your presentation of the procedures was articulated flawlessly.
Awesome job. Say hi to the crew from an armchair admirer.
Thanks!
Most excellent video, love it! Never knew about FIVA engines, very interesting. The seafaring world is amazing. Thank you, Chief.
Nicely done sir!! Just subscribed to your channel and I know you will get 100k subs soon! Massachusetts Maritime grad says Great video and keep em coming between your many hours on shift and watches.
Sir I really love Ur blog!!!I'm not a seaman but I enjoy every story that u made thanks man!this is the best example blog ever not just like any other blog out there.keep it up sir chief!god bless you..
Thank you very much Chef Makoi for your videos. They helped me enormously with my CAEERS training and everything related to the maritime profession. Respect chef and all my congratulations.
This is the first time I've seen Main Engine to start from compress air... I've always been on engine that starts with battery.. A very helpful video. Thank you for sharing some knowledge
Large Marine Diesel engine are started by compressed by means of its starting valve w/c inject compressed air to each cylinder
Hi Chief, your contents look like they are made for learning purpose in a maritime institute or something! very informative. as for this episode, I can't picture how hectic it would be for vessel running short voyages with very a few sea days. ahaha, Safe sailing~
Great vid! I already know many details of this gear, and still learned several details new to me. Yeah! You are very clearly spoken, perfect cadence, and CALM! 'Couldn't be better. Thank you for your service to us all. Some lucky shipping outfit snagged an A class seaman.
