    Hi Jeff. A big shoutout to you from the Maritime Community in India. Your videos are really helping us getting an overall view of the life in the merchant marine.
    Could you please upload a video showing the duties of a deck cadet on board ships? It would be really helpful for cadets across the nation.

    Hi Jeff, comment from an 'old timer': the Captain is always in command. However, he will take the conduct (con) of the ship from the OOW as the need arises and normally when entering and leaving port or in heavy traffic areas e.g. Singapore Strait.

If I am on the beach, on a second story balcony, and I want to watch ships out on the horizon, (this is a hotel is near a port where various cargo ships come in) are there any particular optics, scopes or binoculars you recommend? If not what specifications should I look for? Thanks.

    Hello jeff, I wanted to ask you. Something you mentioned in the video, you said. that the oow it's in charge of the life sawing appliances, now, do te third mate and the oow share the responsability? because as for as i know that's the third mate's duty. I have a second question for you, there's a moment in the video in which you pointedout that in some situations the use of radar is vital, I did some research and i fourd out that the radar has a really close relationship with the arpa how the two of them work together?

  • @luismiguelromeroossa7491
    @luismiguelromeroossa7491 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    According to the COLREG 72 and the STCW jeff, it is necessary to place beams in case of reduced visibility to use all possible navigation aids, in this case it would be important to use the RADAR and activate the S-band since this is less affected by these external agents. make another video where you can mention being things that are of great importance to us Deckofficers.

  • @danalivingabroad

    @luispadilla3378 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ey Jeff! is importan to mention the current OOW must ask the outgoing OOW if the Master or the Chief Officer has left any verbal instructions to complied with or any night orders that there might be confusions whit and avoieding any emergency situation

    • @conniejurgs9427
      @conniejurgs9427 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Usually the Master has standing orders that are written down and available on the chart table. If changes have been made recently those changes could be pointed out during the turnover at the end of the watch. Many times while far out at sea I have heard turnovers go something like... No changes in anything, and there's no other ships around. Things could get a lot more complicated while in heavy traffic or unusual circumstances. Then, many times, the captain could actually be on the bridge, but not in 'control of the helm'. If things get really interesting the captain could issue a command, "I've got the helm" and take control from the OOW.

    I just recently got my OIC-NW license at 22 y.o. but currently still looking for opportunities for me to become an officer. The competition is difficult in our country since you pretty much need to have someone you know/a relative working on a shipping company to back you up (colloquialy termed as a "backer"), for which I do not have. Nevertheless, I am not giving up ;)
