I lived on an aircraft carrier for 3 years a long time ago. I was curious about cargo ship accommodations, so I looked up and just watched several. I want to thank you for doing an excellent job. You went slow, paused the camera when necessary and explained what I was seeing. Amazingly there are other vids with a lot more views that did not do any of this. Also, thank you for not overdubbing your video with useless, loud, goddamn, MF music. I do not understand why people feel the need to ruin real life videos with MF music. Excellent job!! 10/10 BZ!
In all honesty, I completely agree with you about the music. 99% of the time, it’s music a cannot stand. But even if it was music I love, it would certainly be music someone else wouldn’t like. I get the need for music in certain types of videos. But for stuff like this, you’re totally right - unnecessary. We’re here to learn something. Just speak clearly and focus on why you made the video (why we’re here) and everything will turn out quality. This guy makes some really informative videos and I really appreciate it. There’s a couple other guys that I also think make some damn fine videos on the subject. They use a little music every now and then, but I don’t think it detracts from the quality. You might want to check out Joe Franta and Northwest Sailor.
My father was career US Navy and died aboard the Franklin D, Roosevelt aircraft carrier. He died young, doing what he loved. Thank you for your service. 😊
You can. There's a few videos about it. I don't really know how safe some ports are though. Singapore and Hong Kong were good but the USN warned us in some ports.
when i was a young man, i worked as a security guard for APL at port of tacoma. there was one crew member that saw me (obviously cold) one night and offered to let me warm up in his cabin, since the window was just 2 feet from my post. those cabins weren't nearly as nice as this, but better than i imagined.
Even this isn’t as good as a Matson ship, especially the new ones like the Lurline or Matsonia. When I was on there last year we had an amazing Steward department and had the most perfect Pho once a week, and the food was legitimately better than anything else I had on a ship before. Matson does everything better.
Very nice living space, thanks for the tour. On my old boat SSN 652, the entire Wardroom would be living in your cabin. Now exactly where is your call button for Room Service?
@@jusb1066 Well shipmate, you must be talking about the Paint Locker being rented by the hour. I heard it from a guy, who heard it from the Command Master Chief…it must be true!
If people realize the product they get are on ships and what it takes to get to them. They may take inconsideration of what it entails. Fascinating and humbling of where these people are, how they work, and the fact it is not that easy. I watched one of your videos that went from top to bottom and all that it entails. To imagine all that work put into building that ship and everything fits together to do the job it needs to do. Thank you.
Hi Sir :-D... Thank so much for bring us to the tour a crew cabin room board a Maersk cargo ship. Nice to see it.. Keep up your good work..., Safe Sailing...!! :-)
I imagine you all stand watches like we did in the navy probably two in ops and two in engineering? No going out on deck at night or heavy sea state. I didn't see anything to seal the fridge shut so it looks like the ship does not tilt too much?
We do have central AC and heating. The engineers determine when the AC or heating is turned on but each cabin has an overhead damper to regulate cabin temperature. Unfortunately, as these ships are starting to get a bit older, there are issues with the damper functionality so most cabins also have fans to help keep some air flow.
Thank you for the cabin tour .. very nice 🙂.. btw i want to ask about the handphone. May the crews and captain use the handphone for video call to family and friends ? is the ship cargo have the wifi too ? Hope for the other tour on ship, sir
You’re welcome! We have satellite phones available for crew to call home. There is also WiFi onboard and depending on how many other crew members are using it at the same time you can do video calls as well!
I’ve always wanted to sail to Antarctica. My union has a contract to sail a supply vessel down there every once in awhile to outfit the scientists working there.
WiFi is relatively new for us at sea with my companies. It is fast enough to do email, make WiFi phone calls, browse the web, send texts etc. Depending on how many crew members are using it at the same time, you can even do video calls from time to time!
I notice that you have paper stuffed behind the pictures, I guess this is to stop them from rattling round in high seas? I'd probably spend half the night fixing noises like that. 😂 Great videos and thanks for sharing Bryan! Also, what keeps that fridge from turning over in rough water, do you have it strapped to the wall?
You will find pieces of paper or cardboard in cracks all over the ship! It’s nice to have a cabin that has been “soundproofed” over the years. The fridge is strapped down too
Basic but so much more room than a cruise ship cabin. If your staff you can have two or three to a cabin half the size of that. I’d much rather sail on a container ship any day to a cruise ship because you have so much room in your own personal cabins.
Yea everyone on these cargo ships has their own cabin. There’s only 22 of us so plenty of space for individual cabins. I worked one contract on a cruise ship and was fortunate to have my own room as an officer, but I remember most crew was as many as four to single cabin.
Pay is excellent. Unlicensed crew pay is probably around $300-500 per day depending on rating and overtime worked. Officer pay ranges from $600-1500 per day depending on same factors
Hiw did you get a job on one? I looked and all I could find on board said you had to be a citizen of like india, or Singapore or something. All the north America positions seem to be in customer service and stuff.
On here the only senior officer who stands watch is the Chief Mate. The captain is a day worker and all the engineers are day works as well. They do bring on an additional third mate during the US coast though so that the chief mate can be a day worker then and focus on cargo.
As I don't speak English, I didn't understand everything. But is this room this big and the same for all the crew? What role do you have on board? (Google translator)
Hey David, this room is about the same size for all the unlicensed crew as well as the junior officers. The senior officers and chief steward will have larger rooms with attached offices for even more living space. I commonly sail as the Second Officer which is still considered a junior officer.
Idk why they bother with a sofa. Just give me a nice rocker-recliner! If I were single and they'd let me keep a little dog in the room I'd do this in a heartbeat!
This is nicer than any apartment I've ever lived in.
Didn't realize that crew quarters would be soo nice with lots of amenities ! Thanks for the tour 👍
Damn man, nicer, and especially larger, than I would expect.

'ell of a lot more room than I had on the Destroyer!
It’s even more room than I had on an Air Force base, lol.
There is only 23 crew on ships even as big as 400m long.
A lot more room when I served , I had to share a hammock with three cabin boys, I became a Catholic priest after
@WANG DONG nothing's going to stop that
This has me wanting to book a cargo ship and NOT a cruise ship.
Very good video. Thank you.
You can. There's a few videos about it. I don't really know how safe some ports are though. Singapore and Hong Kong were good but the USN warned us in some ports.
There are none available because of the pandemic😞
Oh yes you do
How do that stay on the ship with that winds and waves hitting it
But this isn’t a vacation trip, it’s called working

Suspect 🤔... you went to warm up while on the job?
@@neverhungryagain2187 his cabin had a porthole right next to where i kept my post. also: i was to patrol, including the ship.
Milne Bay Province sailors from Papua New Guinea would love this.
Thank you!i hope you'll give more tour in ships!
I sailed USNS as a navy man. Damn near as nice as this. And the chow was fantastic.
Even this isn’t as good as a Matson ship, especially the new ones like the Lurline or Matsonia.

glad to have you!
Very nice living space, thanks for the tour. On my old boat SSN 652, the entire Wardroom would be living in your cabin. Now exactly where is your call button for Room Service?
Glad you enjoyed it! Merchant ships tend to have much larger crew cabins than navy ships because there are so fewer people onboard.
The small rooms on the navy ships were to stop you having sexual relations with the others
@@jusb1066 Well shipmate, you must be talking about the Paint Locker being rented by the hour. I heard it from a guy, who heard it from the Command Master Chief…it must be true!
Actually quite a bit of room. You also get a pretty nice couch and an arm chair. Lot better than what a Navy Sailor usually gets.
Would be also cool to see what kind are the senior position people's cabins like.
This works because, in spite of its huge size, the ship carries a tiny crew of only 23.
If people realize the product they get are on ships and what it takes to get to them. They may take inconsideration of what it entails.

It's actually a lot nicer than I expected.
Good video, will be more intersting to show more places in the cargo ship. Also good that there is no music.
Very nice to see.Wish u all success.Have a Nice journy
Super cool, never seen anyone do a video of that
Nice. Thanks for the tour.

like a 3 star hotel room ... better if have sea view 🤣🤣
Very nice room with all things you need ... similar to my thinking, cause I dont need luxury stuff.
Thank you! Are any guest rooms similar to that?
Very nice room and eccessories
Muy buenos tus vídeos, felicidades
Bro at 0:55 the thing which u showed is the most dengerous thing on board
It's really nice, like a standard apartment.
Wow, looks like almost double the space of my apartment, and with a private bathroom.
Fantastic video,thanks for sharing
Subbed!! Great content. Be safe
Nicely organized closet...
Thanks for sharing. One question is I would think there should be air conditioning and therefore having a fan should not be necessary.
We do have central AC and heating. The engineers determine when the AC or heating is turned on but each cabin has an overhead damper to regulate cabin temperature. Unfortunately, as these ships are starting to get a bit older, there are issues with the damper functionality so most cabins also have fans to help keep some air flow.
Wow the room is huge
I spent nineteen years at sea and never had a cabin so spacious and with a fridge and a comfy sofa. 😏
Thank you for the cabin tour .. very nice 🙂.. btw i want to ask about the handphone. May the crews and captain use the handphone for video call to family and friends ? is the ship cargo have the wifi too ? Hope for the other tour on ship, sir

More luxurious than my room in college and twice as big.
When I was at sea we had either 4 or 8 berth cabins no aircon that’s luxury
What is the easiest way of getting work on board a cargo vessel like this? I’m working on getting my MMC now and this is a dream!
this is way nicer then a cruise I was on in antarctica

@@BryanBoyle sailing through icebergs really is pretty cool, there’s an incredible amount of wildlife too
Cargo ship captain cabin tour next?
very comfortable room to rest after work
Ship is my home and the sea is my playground....
Very interesting. The room is of a good size and it even has a fridge!! Glad that you all have wifi. But is the connection good and always available?
I think the wifi connects to Satellite ... so would be slow ...
WiFi is relatively new for us at sea with my companies. It is fast enough to do email, make WiFi phone calls, browse the web, send texts etc. Depending on how many crew members are using it at the same time, you can even do video calls from time to time!
@@BryanBoyle that’s great! I guess the connectivity would help a lot.
Just wait until Starlink is fully deployed!
Way more luxurious than my time in the Navy
"Look at me"
"I am the captain now"
Captain Phillips movie ❤️
Better then some of the apartments i have lived in , a bulkhead is a wall in sailor talk?
Yeah the cabins are a decent size! Bulkhead is the wall on a ship
Looks good. Bigger than cruise ship cabins.
Nice vid pal 👍🏻
Nice videos sir
Better than what you get on a Navy aircraft carrier.
😁

Great video entertainment I have a question how do I apply for a job on cargo ship as a merchant mariner here in Orlando Fl?
Fantastic video do ships have a dedicated cook or do the crew have to cook their own meals?.
Thanks! we have a dedicated steward department that has a cook, steward, and steward assistant to cook all meals for the rest of the crew.
Really very nice
Nice... New subscriber here... Keep Safe Sir
You do the housekeeping on your own?
Bigger than many New York and London apartments ?
It's my dream to go on a passenger cruise on one of those giant container ships.
Don’t bother with passenger cruise ships unless your about 75 retired and like cheesy entertainment every night.
Do you guys have a cleaning crew on the deck to clean the rooms or you're responsible for cleaning the room and the washroom?
I was thinking about applying for AB unlimited for Maersk. What is their annual salary for Able Seaman? Also how long are the hitches?
Did I see mold on the shower floor?
What are those plugs on the wall?
Luxury compared to my rack on USS Abraham Lincoln, where do I sign up!
Yeh I seen those racks on the Abraham you can’t even sit up on your bed their so small for head room!
Basic but so much more room than a cruise ship cabin. If your staff you can have two or three to a cabin half the size of that. I’d much rather sail on a container ship any day to a cruise ship because you have so much room in your own personal cabins.
seems pretty good to me
Wow is the continuous background sound from the engine?
Yes it is!
Yes but it becomes like white noise after a while you don’t notice it. In fact it helps you to drift off to sleep.
This is super cool! What book was in your cabinet? If you don’t mind saying
I’m not sure, that was left in there by the previous officer and I can’t remember what it was. I wanna say it was a Tom Clancy novel though
I wondered if the Gideon's had a left a Bible there, like they do in most Hotel rooms :-)
Work on a deep sea fishing boat... you have way nice accommodation man fuck...
No idea that you had your own room. On a cruise, staff usually shares room.

Hii, how to apply galley Steward position your cargo ship
Are there fire extinguishers in the crew cabins
No but there’s usually 2 to 3 on each deck outside the rooms
Do you have to clean your room after your journey is over or do you have cleaning crews on board?
We clean our rooms, but officers also have the assistance of the stewered assistant to clean our rooms
Nice cabin!
Isn't there any air conditioner?
Yes there is air conditioning in every cabin as well as throughout the house.
How long would you be living in that cabin? What's a typical cruise duration?
Contracts usually range from around 1-4 months
Not bad at all ..how many people actually work on a container ship?
Usually 22 on these ships. I just uploaded my latest video that breaks all the positions down if you are interested in seeing that!
Does everyone get a private cabin? I am just used to seeing how two or more crew people are packed into tiny rooms on cruise ships.
Yes everyone gets their own private cabin on these vessels. Occasionally the cadets will have a shared bathroom but still private bunk rooms
@@BryanBoyle I am glad to hear that everyone has humane conditions. That is much better than naval ship or cruise ship conditions.
