- While loading our cargo of barley in Ochakiv, Ukraine, we were also able to carry out a few of our remaining maintenance tasks. It also gave us time to relax a little bit by enjoying a special dinner and a birthday party.

One thing I have noticed about your videos is the importance you put on team work, safety and your commitment to the job and your company. Any company you work for are very very lucky to have you representing them and looking after their ships 👏👏👍
This guy is such a TH-cam gem. I literally feel so invested into his life from the PMMA how he's literally embodies the name "Chief" and all the videos.
He reeks humbleness, calm voice, smiley face
You truly are a Gem of TH-cam Chief!! I look forward to each and every vlog! That steady calm voice and wealth of knowledge is a rare combination! Not to mention your humanity!
Another good video Chief. Thanks.
Hi Chief from Ukraine 🇺🇦!!! Your video is amazing. Thank you and good luck!!
Man you're a legend. I am also an engineer so I do understand exactly what you are doing. Your videos are a pleasure to watch as you transmit calm, professionalism and a vast knowledge of your trade. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
you are an awesome teacher, Once you retire go to the same college you graduated and prepare as many good seafarers like you.
As an ex marine engineer in the age of steam turbines I am totally entranced by your videos. Thank you for your informative and entertaining programmes. God speed you all and go home safely.
Chief glad to see you in Ukraine. I'm from Odessa.
Very good narrator, chief Makoi. He's like Morgan Freeman storytelling a documentary movie. 👍
That food looks absolutely delicious! Kudos to the galley staff for their hard work and outstanding presentation.
When I worked on main fleet I too had less engine crew in engine room.
Now I work on offshore project vessels and have at least double crew. 2 1st engineer, 2 2nd engineer, 4 motorman and 2 ETO and sometimes more.
Work is more stress full but bigger crew is better.
A stunning channel with an awesome host. Chief Makoi is a great addition to my TH-cam education and provides a fascinating view into a world most of us never get to see.
I follow you Sir. I am not a seafarer, however your content is so on the education, that it blows my mind 🚢
y'all have one AMAZING chef! I wouldn't expect that quality of food at a wedding much less a ship!
@Atif Baig you must be racist *shrug*
Chief engineer lol not a cook
Chief, you are one of my favorite guys to watch. You seem like a genuinely great guy to work for and your knowledge is impressive. I would imagine that the crew under your supervision becomes much better at their jobs during their contracts. If you are as even tempered and patient as your videos depict, you are a true asset to all that serve with you. Having worked as a welder and pipe fitter for over 20 now, I see many people come and go in the trades. Those who really want to learn, absorb it all and have the sense to ask questions to fully understand the tasks presented to them and are definitely worth the patience and effort to teach. The area of the USA that I live in is not a Union area and the opportunity for training is usually cast upon the “old guys” like myself. I’ve learned over the years that patience is key to training young folks to excel in whatever trade that they are learning. Also , being able to convey the information to an understandable level is an ability that one must have as well. You seem to have been gifted with both. Much love to you and the crew and prayers for you all a safe voyage. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks Ibby!
Thank you Chief. This is one of THE most informative channels on TH-cam. Been following you from the beginning. I worked for a while as a car mechanic. I could almost follow what your guys were up to. that is ALMOST. Complicated but in a way, the same. I respect craftsmen doing their job like it is no big thing. I admire such men. Salamat good Sir.
Hello shipmate. Watching your videos not only made me aware of what my youngest brother is going through but also give me tips on how I can help him. He is one of the 200,000 seafarers who is stuck on board his ship right now with no light on when he’s going home. All I can do is support him via emails and just encourage him to keep on charging. I thank you for what you do and are doing to help our shipmates. God bless 👍🙏
Thanks, chief. You are a modest and wonderful person. Your stories are straight to the point, and also straight from the heart.
Your videos also show that you care about your staff.
Keep up the good work!
I love the chief’s cadence when he narrates.
And the fact that he will actually take the time to answer questions when possible
Yes!!!
Yes. He should have a parallel career for any nature documentary narrator. Netflix/BBC please hire him!
Hey Chief, a video about a day with the chief officer for sure would be a great idea
I agree with you
Yeah the first mate is cool lets see it
Where is navios mercury located right now sir ?
The Chief Officer is busy literally all day. I think it's going to be hard to find time for Interview
The chief officer didn't like him from day 1! Just kidding, a quote from one of his earlier videos. 🤣
Very impressed with your professionalism in these presentations; the technical descriptions of the ships operational systems, the obvious respect you have for your crew mates and fellow seamen that are performing their jobs in order to assure the success of your voyages, the narrative which provides background for those of us that are not Mariners but have an interest in your profession and its daily routine. All these contribute towards an interesting, informative and entertaining video. Thank you for your efforts and time invested in this enterprise.
my lord I've been by the main road that travels to Ochakiv, Ukraine I remember seeing miles and miles of semi trucks lining the highways waiting to get to the port full of grain. I lived in Kherson, Ukraine for a while which is another port city.
Hello there my friend ! Another awesome video ! While i was watching the people working in the engine room brought back memories from my days at the Navy ...our Ship was made in 1935 in U.S.A , took place in the Philadelphia experiment and after it was decommissioned for them ...my country took it ...LOL . It's purpose was very specific , the rear part had a huge door , we opened that door , it would fill up tanks with water so it would partially submerge and then take in from small submarines , Landing crafts , and at the level above we could have battle tanks and troops , even a helicopter .
Now to the juicy stuff ...LOL , from what i heard it needed very little amount of crued oil to operate because ...it was using STEAM engines ...LOL :) how cool is that ? Maximum speed ( downhill perhaps ) 12 knots but as long as i was on it it went like 9 knots .
Normally i was a deck specified cadet but occasionally i went down to the engine to hang out with friends , chat , stuff like that , so i had to go through double secure doors , i had to open and close the first door , before i could open the second door , otherwise the pressure difference would cause explosion ...so yeah i had to be extra careful with that !
Evening Chief. You make absolutely fantastic videos on the life on a cargo ship. It's so interesting seeing what actually goes on as the general public wouldn't have a clue 🤣 Thanks Stevie 😎🇬🇧
I sailed for 17 years, but I have never seen the crew so busy painting and cleaning up oil after a dry-dock period an just a short sail...
I wanted to say as a non-boatman (well, I have a canoe), is that I really enjoy learning about your craft! Thanks!
I just wanted to stop by and say "hello"👍🚢
Thanks, Chief! Your videos are consistently excellent and interesting. It may be everyday stuff to you, but it is fascinating to me! Keep up the great work!
Honestly, watching your videos is just therapeutic for me. The sound effects, picture quality, angles, smoothening voice and calm tone you use to describe every scenario.
Awesome job again with your video work. Nice spread of food for the guys for a morale booster. Looking forward to the next video Chief. Good work, as always.
I'm impressed with your short documentaries. Very instructive for someone who isn't especially knowledgeable of blue water or merchant marine operations. I like your personal views on some aspects of your work. Well done.
I cant stop watching your videos! It gives me so much calmness and peace some how.
I really enjoy watching your videos Chief MAKOi. My uncle is a captain in a cargo vessel that does Singapore-Perth, Australia runs and we used pick him up from the port to show him around. Unfortunately due to very strict Covid restrictions in Australia, they are no longer allowed to get off the vessel. I hope restrictions will ease a bit before he finishes his contract. Keep up the good work and continue inspire future seafarers not only from our country but all over the world!
Hey Chief ! GREAT video..... "Thank You", sir !!!!
You are absolutely right,chief ,a small show of appreciation goes a long way.
I am from Srilanka , learn lot about seafarer life and your presentation is very clear and nice . look forward to see more, cheers
I just found your TH-cam channel. Very interesting. I’ve always wondered what it’s like and what happens on an ocean going freighter. Well documented and very informative. Thank you and stay safe.
Hello from Ukraine ! You also have subscribers here !
Slava Ukraine! Support to Ukraine from India!
Those shots at 9 min or so in were amazing.
Beautiful video! Respect from a fellow seafarer.
I am surprised by the even layer of grain dust over the entire ship. Tells you the weather conditions were very good, during loading. Good luck with your cargo, and stay safe. Thank you for sharing this video.
I’m a deck cadet who cannot get to sea yet because of COVID so I can’t wait to finally get out there. I love your videos. Always so calm and full of information. Thank you
One more subscriber from Ukraine.
Great to see a "hands on" Chief, when I was engineer on a P&O liner the second Engineer was the working boss, he would come down the engine room at 7 am and start shouting at us all, the Chief was usually up in the first class entertaining the Ladies, never saw him in the engine room.
Another interesting video! It's so great that your crew has a nice dinner together from time to time. A happy, engaged workforce is so important. Be well Chief!
Thanks Jackie!
You are getting so good at producing these! Love the drone shots.
Thank you, great to see, # HeroesAtSea doing what they are trained to do.
Hello chief,
Omg she is beautiful out of dry dock,and al that lovely food makes me hungry 🤤...
I think that having comfort food while you are away from home must be huge. I can only imagine having a “home cooked” meal away from home on the big open ocean. You also gotta get along with all those guys so it goes smooth.
You take care of your ship and she will take care of you....!
May the seas be calm, the wind @ your back and the pirates never find you, smooth sailings, smooth voyage Chief M.!
you must have a hell of a good chef on board whenever you show off what your chef has prepared it always looks so damn good!!! makes me hungry just looking at it!!!
Interesting to see the mate applying lapping compound on the tool,and turning it, to polish the sealing surface. Just like valve lapping in an automobile cylinder head.
Hello Chief Makoi!
I've been following you since i decided to start studying Marine Engineering and you have been a great inspiration to me and I phoned you on a few of your live Q&A ( I'M BAYWORX FROM SOUTH AFRICA).
I'm now an engine cadet on board with many crew that have personally met you!!
Thank you.
I always enjoy your videos, they are informative and interesting. Thanks much, looking forward to more.
Chief what a job well done!!!!! Thanks
My deepest sympathy to your colleagues, countrymen and their families. These videos are a reminder there are 43 individual humans and their families behind the week's tragic headlines. Stay safe.
Thank you Sir for your hard work keeping trade export of my country Ukraine!
I love how you reinforce that every single person is just as important as every other person is on that ship. I salute all of you
Chief mako the video was excellent food and the loading of the ship but my favorite part was the men under your watch doing the work on the diesels what I have been doing for 62 years trucks and machine's thank you so much for the video be safe on the sea all the crew god speed ron brennan rdzl om616
Great narration style and camera!
Chief you sir are a special man. Your videos lift my soul. Safe travel to you and your crew.
The discipline and respect for the process and the outcome is fascinating.
Chief really enjoy your videos, thanks
These videos help me relax.
It has been 4 decades since I last put to sea. Really enjoy your videos. Although I was US Navy, life at sea really isn't all that different. And yet still very much different lol. 😁😎
Always a joy to see a new video! Thank you!!
Another great video on the workings of a ship. That dinner looked delicious...
Thanks to you and your crew for providing valuable work and service.
wish I had an injector tester. I gotta send em out for that. Some great crane operators but thats a slow loading way. Nice to see the guys painting everything in the engine room like that keeps it all so clean and keeps away Mr.Rust for a good long time. Thanks for the view of the underside of the ship, the important part!!!
I'm always encouraged when I'm watching your videos chief.
I really liked the drone footage on this video.
Cool to see this type of loading.
I learn a lot from you Sir and from your mates on board--like being responsible, organized, being calm but a bit smart and a lot more... Please make more videos..
Great work chief
I always like to watch the real MAKOi and his ship vlogs.. ah the lure of the sea.. I love the ocean and miss not being abler to go out on her any more.. But that is the price of life.. old age is made of memories.. and memories never die.. the just fade away.. I truly enjoy this.. it brings out the kid in me.. the old adventurer.. thanks Chief.. carry on!
I'm not really a "vlog" watching type of guy, but Chief Makoi here makes it awesome!
Keep us updated, and stay safe Chief Makoi!
Have a safe journey Chief!
As corporate IT of a cruise company Next week I will start 2 month in a yard for the final 60 days before the delivery. We have a ship to bring online.
Amazing footage of the loading!!!!
Chief, you brought us another great idea. Thanks for sharing some of the details on the maintenance. Also, that welcome meal looked DELICIOUS! Stay safe. Peace
Great Video Chief Makoi !!!
Informative and interesting. A good crew all around. The Captain had a great idea for that dinner party. Standing ovation for the galley Chef and crew. 👍
Thanks again for sharing your life with us. Great photography! I love watching ships and the sea. All the best to you on this new contract. Cheers from San Diego, California.
These series of vlogs should be used as an instructional video for good leadership. 👍
I find your videos really relaxing. Your crew does a great job maintaining the ship
Oh hey, that's a surprise. Cheers, Chief, from your Ukrainian viewers, You have at least one :) Safe journeys!
hey man, your videos are shot beautifully
Hi chief.....ur videos are truly inspirational
From Nigeria 🇳🇬 west Africa

crane operators are really patient guys
Hey Chief, thank you for your work! Your cinematic and storytelling skills are impressive. You deserve a whole lot more followers! Safe travels
As usual an Excellent video, keep up the good work and stay safe chief.
There's nothing nicer than a clean engine room. They deserved such a nice spread!
Chief, I love your videos. I learn a great deal.
Great vlog as always! Safe travels to all of you!
Salute to you Chief! This videos you have is truly inspiring.
Thanks for sharing! I see the ship having new crew, cook & mess boy! Have a safe journey to the whole team & looking forward to your next adventures!
We love the food! Thanks ship chef and mess man as well! Great job.
Absolutely, another outstanding video Chief Makoi...thanks.! You have again captured the tempo of essential shipboard engine & machinery maintenance during other critical vessel operations like receiving cargo. Great script and filming. Your engineering crew are real professionals demonstrating their skills to the world. Safe voyage to Jeddah, the Red Sea area of operations can be a very dangerous place. Carry on shipmates!
Hey Chief Makoi! Big respect from the port city of Vancouver BC Canada! Thank you for the awesome vids about life onboard big ships! Stay safe! Ride ride ride!
Very happy to see videos at sea once again, thank you for sharing. Charles
