It’s great to see this team of men work together to take care of their home and vessel. Teamwork, dedication, and attention to detail. What an inspiration. Thanks for the presentation.
Great work Chief and the young crew. Greetings from New Zealand. I feel satisfied doing my own service on my 60hp outboard motor on my boat. The size of what you work on is a credit to your knowledge and skills.
This tube was called in a days 'Receiver'. It was dirtiest job to do clean it. At this movie seems very clean probably fotage started after cleaner or assistant engineer already cleaned it mostly. I spent many days inside this tube back in my marine days. It took me i think like 16 hours to clean it just with lunch time pause. At sea there was no working hours regulations. Marine time teaches you life. Thanks Chief for insights.
Engine cadet Goulbourne Romario from Jamaica🇯🇲 sending greeting to you Chief MAKOi. Thanks for passing on your knowledge to us. We really appreciate it.
Your film making is outstanding. Taking dirty and hard ship borne work and turning it into visual poetry. I really enjoy your work! Thank you for sharing it Chief!
I enjoy your vlogs. A few years ago I boarded Polsteam Drawsko in Burns Harbour as a passenger. The crew were very friendly during the 4 weeks I was aboard on the way to Bari, Italy via Duluth. The crew told me that the Chief is the most important officer aboard (more than the Captain!).
Another outstanding video Chief Makoi, thanks. You have again provided a great video of critical shipboard maintenance evolutions in-port. Very nicely composed, photographed and edited presentation. For young engineers, this is the true test of grit, skill and determination to their chosen career. You are not missing anything in the Port of Jeddah. I have been there several times on military RORO vessels. In each case we were restricted to the piers for our own safety. The locals don’t present the welcome mat! Safe journeys. Carry on!
You might also enjoy the TH-cam channel on the Battleship New Jersey, which is now a museum. Today, I (and a few thousand others) accompanied the curator, Ryan, into the very bottom level of the ship (the seventh), with fascinating commentary along the way. All this so that we could see the keel.
oh god when i was young i applied ship enginering but got rejected because cant pay the money for enter that school. but life must go on and find the way. and watching your channel somehow relief my unrequited dream, thank sir...
I am starting my career at a young age. Going to work for my Union as a wiper, and with the money saved up, will get some education requirements later in the years to hopefully become chief engineer. I watch you all of the time and you’re an inspiration.
Seeing the up close and personal inside the engine cavity brought back something video just can't relate - the smell. The odor of the oil and all the components that get suffused in it over time came rushing back as I watched. Memories of hard, satisfying work in a very similar environment. Great work Chief and much love!
Everything on those ships is huge!, Ive seen a photo of some spare valves on some big ship, I think they were a stainless steel alloy and stood about 4-5 feet high where they were stored! I have one link of a ship's anchor chain, UPS delivered to me in a small crate it was shipped in after I bought it from a ship salvage outfit, the driver left it standing on end in my driveway LOL, the one link weighs almost 150 pounds!
I knew a lot of people in the US navy, that works in the engineering department, every time the ship goes on deployment they’re the first one in and last one to leave. And on top that they’re required to have 2 person on watch 24/7, whenever they pulled in at the port. Their job is not a cakewalk
Thanks for another great video. I am a retired engineer and have always been fascinated with large machines and what makes them tick. I am unable to experience these up close so it is wonderful to have the chance to see them through your lense.
Fascinating especially that part at the end where that old guy was crawling out of that sludge tunnel or whatever it was. Thank you Sal for the intro. I'm not a mechanic but I love the detail; don't think you will bore if you get into the nitty gritty.I am subscribed and have Liked.
Cleaning the sludge out of a scavenger was the only time I worked in an engine room, I was a galley boy at the time and was the only crew member that could fit in this particular scavenger, all the rest were done by the ER crew. The Chief Engineer did buy me a case of beer for my efforts. This was back in the 70’s when health and safety wasn’t as bigger thing as it is these days. They were really happy days, thanks for the memories chief👍🏻
Love the preventative maintenance! I am a chiller technician with 25yrs of factory tech service. I did about 5 months on the M/S Holiday rebuilding and computerized all 5 of the centrifugal chillers. Long Beach, ca to Catalina island to Ensenada, mx was m-f then Friday-Monday Long Beach to Ensenada to Long Beach. What a awesome group of techs, although language was difficult. Went through the Panama Canal and went to Puerto Rico, as the ship was up for sail.
Nicely cleaned scavenge air receiver and under piston spaces! What we also did is pushing the rings back in their grooves using a piece of wood in order to check for broken rings
I love your vlogs Makoi reminds me of my time at sea.I was a Petty Officer on Tankers for well known British oil company and at the age of 72 would love to do a trip.
Salamat chief makoi dahil sa mga vlog mo may nakukuha akong mga kaalaman, na kahit tumigil ako sa pag aaral dahil sa pandemic may natototonan paren ako at dahil tin sayo sir makoi. Keep it up GOD BLESSE
Chief ever thought about showing how the pistons are checked for pressure for piston pressure efficiency, another suggestion is show pulling a piston. Scavenge cleaning. Fuel and Lube oil purifiers, compressors just to name a few.
I'm frustrated that I didn't pass the cadetship program. Even though I didn't feel hopeful, watching these films offers me comfort and motivates me to keep going forward.
Your closing remark reminded me of something that I've seen on a bosun's door: There's always something for someone else to do. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I see bulk carriers similar to yours everyday in our local waters around Nanaimo BC. Have you ever been here? It's great to see what goes on with shipboard activities and the different types of cargo you move. Pulp and paper would be our biggest contribution i suppose. Thanks for showing us your job and life aboard ship. Great show.
Seeing the scale of the engines is mind boggling. I keep thinking "If you were scaled down to scale and crawling around in the 2 liter of my car how small would you be?"
Hi cheif we really love you , I m an engineer officer in board of cargo ship ; your vedios are very helpful as its supposed to be from a great cheif engineer. please I d like you make vedios for us about boiler and pumps principles and troublshooting , remedy there are several vedios in the net but i d like to see these lessons from you as well , because you explain well and you re aware what the sailor really need , much of respect and love dear cheif!
Chief.... Thank you for making videos like this. It gives me an idea on what my dad used to do in the ship engines. Those are massive 2 stroke engines... I hope i can work on those too
I enjoy watching his videos he's very professional he speaks extremely well I think when I'm listening to his voice that I'm actually watching a safety video for a job orientation safety videos which is very interesting he's very smart and I enjoy keep the content coming sir when I enjoy watching it and is very fascinating to know how things work and the shipping world thank you for bringing us into that world
I remember my days at sea. The "DE Lave," oil purifier was a common item in most ship's engine rooms. Does your purifier have the little 'counter button,' that you use to count RPMs of the purifier, to ensure the proper operation? I see the air inlet ports on the cylinder of the engine. A '2 stroke,' yes? Most diesels were 2 strokers, until they came out with 4 stroke engines... At least in trucks and small applications. Very clean and tight... The way it should be, in the intake pipe of a monster engine! You run a good ship Chief... Do you ever see these comments?
@@ChiefMAKOi I almost wish I was young again, and able to go to sea once more... You seem to have a good crew, hard working and cheerful. And good leadership is a major factor in keeping things both light, when you can and serious when they have to be. Sorry, I can't speak a tap of Pilipino. I served with several Filipinos and they seem to be a good bunch! Even Our Mess cook, was a Filipino, he was aboard ship for 28 years. I got to see him retire, but we were sad to see him walk down the plank for the last time... At sea, you kinda get used to someone's cooking. Things are, 'different,' when someone else comes in and takes over. Maybe that's not always a bad thing. But the friendship and duty at sea, are like seasoning on your food.
Thank you Chief Makoi for sharing your journey to us young mariner, I really like the photography you taken from ship to travelling vlog. Hope we meet soon.
Hi was a Sulzer RND68, we were in very bad weather off Tazmania going dead slow,,melted and damaged some stuff, was a massive clean up think it was Hobart where we were going.
That was fascinating to see. Thank you so much for keeping thus channel going! I also very much like the episodes you have where you teach how the various systems function.
Wauw. Amazing stuff. I was working on a big roof a few years back on ship engine builder wärtsilä. The size of those engines was insane. Great to see inside your engine. Safe travels.
Evening Chief Makoi. Hope your keeping well. It’s a great insight into life on a big cargo ship. I’ve of loved too have served on your ship as you seem a real lovely guy 👍🏻 I’m a little old now nearing retirement but I can only dream of a job I’d of loved watching you do your stuff. Keep the videos coming. Keep well and safe cheers Stevie 😎🏴
Another great interesting video, Chief! You have a really relaxing and laid-back voice that reminds me of Pacific Island guys here in New Zealand. I'm a big fella and I was impressed at how well you get into the tight spaces there! Cheers! :)
Thank you Chief for sharing your knowledge about machineries. I've seen a lot of your videos and i learned a lot. Very informative, easy to undert. Thank you chief. Keep safe always
It’s engineers like you and your team that make the world go around. Thanks for your dedication to your job.
i agree 😍
🚢⚓😃👌

I previously worked in aircraft maintenance, seeing that feeler gauge reminds me of the good old days
You've got some serious bragging rights with such 'engine displacement' -;)
It’s great to see this team of men work together to take care of their home and vessel. Teamwork, dedication, and attention to detail. What an inspiration. Thanks for the presentation.
Great work Chief and the young crew. Greetings from New Zealand. I feel satisfied doing my own service on my 60hp outboard motor on my boat. The size of what you work on is a credit to your knowledge and skills.
Hey Chief anytime you come down this way I am happy to put you guys up. Would love to meet you mate. I'm in Auckland

What a beautiful engine room you have there Chief, you and your team should feel real proud

To be the Chief is to know the inside and out of the ship..Literally... great job!
Great work. Awsome to see the teaching of the newer younger generation of seafarers!
This is the type of youtube videos I like, things I don't know and have never seen before.

Yes !
background music is too loud tho
I am starting my career at a young age. Going to work for my Union as a wiper, and with the money saved up, will get some education requirements later in the years to hopefully become chief engineer. I watch you all of the time and you’re an inspiration.
My eldest brother is chief engineer from
MTM line and I also like your videos and its helpful for my starting of marine field.🤗
Chief, most interesting! Thanks for this look at quality maintenance being completed!
I love those Nightstick lights. Good features, intrinsically safe, and cheap!
Nice glimpse inside the engine Chief. It's always fun to see large machinery up close.
We want more! We want more! Haha love your videos Chief. Keep it up
«onboard on a ship there's always something to do»
As a corporate IT visiting ships from time to time this is my mantra.
Seeing the up close and personal inside the engine cavity brought back something video just can't relate - the smell. The odor of the oil and all the components that get suffused in it over time came rushing back as I watched. Memories of hard, satisfying work in a very similar environment.
Great work Chief and much love!
Thanks for the great trip into the crankcase of the engine!
I like how you answer questions so we all can learn. Now I read all the comments too.
I try whenever I can.
The size of those piston rings is astounding.
The precision engineering and machining within that size is what baffles me even more. Love it.
Smaller precision stuff like electronics are actually a lot harder to achieve.
It is almost as big as the piston ring in my moped.
@@OoiPaul agreed. Small stuff is a pain in the ass
Everything on those ships is huge!, Ive seen a photo of some spare valves on some big ship, I think they were a stainless steel alloy and stood about 4-5 feet high where they were stored!
I have one link of a ship's anchor chain, UPS delivered to me in a small crate it was shipped in after I bought it from a ship salvage outfit, the driver left it standing on end in my driveway LOL, the one link weighs almost 150 pounds!
Oh this one brings back memories of my time at sea as a Marine Engineer . . . Thank You so much for sharing your experiences.
Hail to the Chief!
Hey Chief!
Your explanations are concise and clear for me, a non-seafarer who is nevertheless interested in what you upload. Thanks!
Great video! I have been an automotive mechanic for 30+ years I just love that big machinery!
Respect Chief. Outstanding.
You and your crew do such difficult and fascinating work. Thank you.
I knew a lot of people in the US navy, that works in the engineering department, every time the ship goes on deployment they’re the first one in and last one to leave. And on top that they’re required to have 2 person on watch 24/7, whenever they pulled in at the port. Their job is not a cakewalk
Never fails to amaze me that this beast is a 2 stroke
Great Video Chief. This inside of the engine is really interesting. Thanks for posting that.
That was an awesome view inside the cylinder. I never would have guessed that a ship engine is a two stroke.
Very very thorough explanation of your work on board, although I know nothing about your job, you make it sound very interesting!
Thanks for another great video. I am a retired engineer and have always been fascinated with large machines and what makes them tick. I am unable to experience these up close so it is wonderful to have the chance to see them through your lense.

I cleaned sulzer Mitsubishi engines scavenger ports many times with diesel fuel smells and heat was torture
Thank you Chief Mackoi. Always something to do to save the ship. Stay safe
That's a very serious get inside your job job lol. Thank you for showing us the inner workings of the engine.
I like the way you narrate over your videos. You explain everything in detail.
Your videos are some sort therapeutic for me .... the soothing voice of narration and the sound does it for me.
Love the preventative maintenance!

What we also did is pushing the rings back in their grooves using a piece of wood in order to check for broken rings
If the ring sprang back it was ok and if it did not return it was considered broken?
@@tomheringer2047 Yes, that was the idea
very informative for aspiring marine engineers like me.. please sir keep posting these types of videos ..,thank you sir
Another great video , you give a great insight into life on the ocean
I love your vlogs Makoi reminds me of my time at sea.I was a Petty Officer on Tankers for well known British oil company and at the age of 72 would love to do a trip.

I realy enjoy your engine room videos, brings back bad memories of a scavenge fire, on a ship I was on in the 1970s, keep up the good work
Tell us more about that fire-
How was it doused?
Was the engine a write-off?
Hi was a Sulzer RND68, we were in very bad weather off Tazmania going dead slow,,melted and damaged some stuff, was a massive clean up think it was Hobart where we were going.
Glad to see at 00:44 the ferry "Duba Bridge", ex-"Mercedes del Mar" from Iscomar. An old spanish friend! Thank you for showing it!
Great video Makoi
Thanks for posting and happy holidays 🙂
That was fascinating to see. Thank you so much for keeping thus channel going! I also very much like the episodes you have where you teach how the various systems function.
Hope your enjoying your vacation Chief ! :-)

Thumbs up to your dedication and expertise sir.
Very good approach to maintenance
Whenever I see the Chief in his coveralls it takes me a sec because for some reason it looks like a bathrobe.
Great video! Keep these kind of videos coming. I learned a lot!
Im a merchant marine engineer student
I love your videos,they motivate me
Wish me luck 😊
