I love it when i get content from you. People dont realize how much work it is keeping this world supplied. The food at the birthday party looked amazing. Happy birthday to your crew mate. Safe travels
Love the great videos chief. I worked in the oilfield for 20 plus years running boats back and forth to production platforms and drilling rigs with an occasional drill ship in the mix. I am retired now but when the ocean gets into your bloodstream you never forget the constant call wanting you to come back. Thank you very much for allowing me to be part of your journey in the merchant marine. Have a safe journey and looking forward to your suture adventures.
while many of your viewers may have suggestions for your next work here, I am completely satisfied every time I watch your shows on TH-cam. its always new to me. I grew up watching ships come into the Duluth Superior harbor. I always felt for the sailors onboard, being far from home and families, even when its by choice, I know how difficult this can be in my own life. thank you!!
Chief, this Amazing to say the least. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes that we don't see. It's not as easy as you put off. But I know as well as others, that you are very busy. Thank You for the videos we get to see and make us a part of your Journey, I Truly Appreciate it. I watch for videos that you post all of the time. Looking forward to more. :) I hope someday that I will meet you and buy you a Snowcone :) (BEER) LOL Take care and Good Luck on your Masters. Tell the Crew I said Hi!
another enjoyable video chief i always love seeing new content on your channel , i miss seeing Mrs Makoi and her cooking videos and everyday life at home hope she makes more videos some day , Have a smooth voyage !
I see why you are going thru the straits, I didn't realize you were so far south already it just makes sense then going north and back thru the canal. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Chief, I'm an argentinian ex maritime agent and I always wanted to see the straight passing. Please please film it for us. I have been able to see short videos or pictures taken by crews on the way to the Parana river ports but I always wanted a good full view.
Good morning Cheif 🌄! Humm... 24 hours to load, 24 hours to clean deck spillage. Putting a sock on that shoot might eliminate alot of this mess. Stay safe and have fun 👍.
Good morning Chief. Thanks for another great video and Happy (belated) Birthday to that young man. Hopefully, his next one can be spent with his family. Does your ship have a Quartermaster?
It's always interesting to see the procedures for dealing with different cargos. How did you eventually dispose of the water used to wash the potassium from the hold?
Good day, Chief, it's interesting to see you work in a bulkcarrier instead of a container ship as the cargo operations & types of carrying cargo should be different. Pls consider to show more details on cargo operations, like trimming, ballasting & deballasting, cargo inspection & calculating loadable quantity, loading & unloading sequence. Thanks.
Around the long way, great video Chief. Is that normal or maybe I can only guess the restrictions on water level in the Panama Canal are biting pretty hard?
What happens when it rains during the loading operations? Do you wait till the rains stop or is there sort of covering? Also if its a rainy season whats the precautions you guys take. Thanks for all your videos. Great fan. Take care.
Thanks for another great video. Was the water used to clean the holds fresh water from onboard or seawater and was that water part of the waste that you showed being offloaded? I second the comment of another viewer - it would be nice to have more detail about how the ship is balanced when cargo is loaded, in transit and being unloaded.
They will have used fresh water, the holds weren’t that bad after the fertiliser so wouldn’t have needed as much washing / pre washing (still not a small job by any means) They offloaded sludge which is engine room generated from oil purifiers etc. The wash water will be held in the wash tanks until appropriate to discharge it.
Greetings Chief from Columbia River USA....Is the sludge Black water, Gray water.....engine room bilge slops?..Please give updates on your Master Classes..the curriculum and what your thesis will be.....I'm almost ready to do the same after you gave me the name of the University which had this type of study plan. I saw your advertisement in this video and it helped with my questions.
It's waste oil residue, mostly from the oil purifiers. Black and grey water is termed as sewage, while Bilge water is any water that accumulates in the Engine Room bilges. I'll give further updates on my Master's in the coming episodes but as for my dissertation, it's about alternative fuels.
My grandfather was a dock worker in Sydney. In WW2 he was loading grain into a frigate for a blockade run though the straits of tears, Bab-el-Mandeb, the cargo net broke and he got badly hurt. Permanently lame. He was the only civilian with a Australian navy pension. There was sabotage on the docks, Stalinist working for Adolf! No one was caught. You guys have it easy today.
FYI chief, a good size earthquake hit Surigao Del Sur earlier. I’m pretty sure you don’t live close, but just giving you a heads up. My in laws in Surigao del Norte got a good shake out of it.
Is the passage through the straits because it's cheaper or faster or is it because of the restrictions in canal traffic due to the low water in lake Gatun?
My wife and I send balikbayan box's often to a remote Island in the Philippines. My wife grew up there so she is not spoiled like many city girls. We are old and retired and grew old together. If I was not a sailor I would have never met my wife. You sound like Americano 🙂.
Hi Cheif, what are you doing to cargo spilled on the deck, as you shown in the video, are you going to collecte it and put it to the cargo holds or you just clean it away with air/water jet to the sea?
With low water levels in Lake Gatun decreasing the number of ships transiting Panama Canal I would not be surprised if more ships option for Magellan until Gatun water levels stabilize.
How rice is lost in loading? Second doing you have worry about dust explosions or fires? Also does a rice and similar cargo cause problems do the load shifting?
Grat video as always fella Few questions ... when you were taking on bunker fuel you said that your colleague went down to do some sounding.. what did you mean by this ? Also with all that rice and dust all over the ship how do you go about cleaning the ship down after ? Do you just hose it down while your underway ?
YOU DONT MENTION THE STABILITY CALCULATIONS . ARE THE CALCULATIONS DONE ON COMPUTER ? I WAS AT SEA 40 YEARS AGO AND I HAD TO DO THE CALCULATIONS BY HAND AND HAD TO MAKE AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT CALCULATIONS ( PRIOR TO LOADING) DEPENDING ON THE STOWAGE FACTOR OF THE GRAIN . HOW IS IT DONE NOWADAYS ?
That's a lotta rice... I did a distance learning Masters program in Environmental Management... It does have its own unique challenges doing it that way. You should be able to apply a lot of real world knowledge to your thesis..... I did with mine...
I found it quiet, also. I didn't put the volume up to 100%, but most videos I listen to are okay soundwise at 50%, whereas this one, even at 88%, was still inaudible in places.
2 years ago your videos encourage me to join in to the marine field at the age of 30....
Today I'm saling as ETO successfully... thank you Sir.
😇
ये ईटीओ क्या होता है भाई ?
I sailed 42 years , now retired, and never had the chance to sail through the Strait of Magellan. Enjoy the experience.

Wow Chief, It's been a minute. Well done Chief Cook. Food looks great. 🇺🇸

I do wonder what this facility does to responsibly dispose of shipping sluge.................. I doubt its good, tbh.
Great vlog as always! Always bad weather in the straits of Magelan. Miss your on shore videos. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Thanks!
Safe voyage to you and the crew Chief.
Thanks JP!

Welcome back Chief, we missed your videos ❤
Wish you and your crew have a safe Christmas and New Years. Keep the fantastic videos coming.
12:31 What a surprise, we just recently finish unloading MV Namura Queen here in Indonesia.
you have been one of my favourite channels for a long time. it looks like you have a nice life that makes sense.
As usual, Chief, a great video. Thank You.
Thank you for your good work. I really look forward to seeing your passage of the Magellan Strait. I imagine it as majestic and angry.

Good morning Chief. Thanks for another great video and Happy (belated) Birthday to that young man. Hopefully, his next one can be spent with his family. Does your ship have a Quartermaster?
3 "Able Bodied" Seamen. They act as helmsmen during maneuvering.
@@ChiefMAKOiwhat if they disagree ?
Left! Right! UP!
@@user-vo7vp1xm9q As long as it isn't DOWN
Excellent VLOG as ever Chief
another great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲
I always enjoy your shipboard video adventures. Thank you!
Another epic video, thanks Chief.
Thanks Chief❣️ Would like you to talk about cargo liquefaction, the dangers, and how you avoid it onboard.
The food for the birthday party looked delicious. It's nice that you get something, especially thousands of miles from home & family. Safe travels.
There is no doubt that the only ship one should ever consider signing up for is a Filipino crew. They have the best food, no doubt.
Hey Chief. Glad your well. Thanks for the upload, Safe voyage. :-)
Great video, as always!
Well that was nice seeing Rio Grande do sul again. Was there in 1980 as a radio officer sailing with Blue Star Line.😀😀
Great one Chief! I enjoyed the video. Cheers!
Miss your videos. Thank you Chief!
Nice Makoi, visiting my country. Welcome
I'm looking forward to the Strait of Magellan transit video.
Good day Chief. Great video thank You.
It's always interesting to see the procedures for dealing with different cargos.
How did you eventually dispose of the water used to wash the potassium from the hold?
I think it will be discharged once the ship is travelling in open ocean. Well that's what I figure from what he said, though I may have misunderstood.
What's the worst cargo to clean out?
That food spread looked really tasty. You have a great chef!
Great to see another video Chief!!!!

I guess he’s the “chief engineer” it’s the chief officers job and deck officer do that I’m just guessing✌️✌️
@@virgilioangtimonel7625 Thank you.
Around the long way, great video Chief. Is that normal or maybe I can only guess the restrictions on water level in the Panama Canal are biting pretty hard?
It's shorter. Rio Grande is in the southern part of Brazil.
Congrats on the 400K subs
Great video Chief, what happens to all that leftover grain on the deck? Is the ship completely washed?
Straights of Magellan, is Panama as bad as they say with delays? Good luck with the weather at least they are coming into summer soon down there!
We waited 1 week at anchor to wait our turn to transit Panama Canal. That was last year. From reports, it's worse this year.
@@ChiefMAKOiChief, who will bear the risk of time loss? Owner or charterer?
You seem to have a great crew.
Yeah Chief! Have missed your videos!! Merry Christmas to you and crew!
Thanks for another great video.
Enjoyed that one your cooks certainly know how to put food on for a party
Kindly make a video on adjusting ballast tank upon loading cargo
Your video has gone better you are doing a great job
Thank you so much 😀
Grain dust can be explosive. Is this a concern?
i'm curious if you ever see the crew members that rotate off the ship on future assignments.
We love you chief from Australia
looking forward to next video. thanks for this video!
What happens when it rains during the loading operations? Do you wait till the rains stop or is there sort of covering? Also if its a rainy season whats the precautions you guys take. Thanks for all your videos. Great fan. Take care.
Cargo ops will stop.
Excellent video!
Puhon Chief, ako naman mararanasan ko din yan❤
Interesting video . Thank you for sharing 🌻❤️🌻.
Do they process the sludge for the oil and grease to make fuel or something?
I think so. Or use at as fuel in a boiler.
Good luck on your voyage! Where the slug comes from?
Waste oil from the purifier.
Thanks for another great video. Was the water used to clean the holds fresh water from onboard or seawater and was that water part of the waste that you showed being offloaded?

Thank you good Chief!@@ChiefMAKOi
Great video! Do you know where the rice was grown?
Lots of love from india❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice 👍
Another great video Chief. Does rice present a ship stability issue as some other aggregates do?
Not that I know of.
@@ChiefMAKOi If I recall correctly it's called liquifaction. Thanks for the response
you are lucky to have a good cook
What kind of precautions do you need to take, so sparks do not ignite the dust created in the loading
My grandfather was a dock worker in Sydney. In WW2 he was loading grain into a frigate for a blockade run though the straits of tears, Bab-el-Mandeb, the cargo net broke and he got badly hurt. Permanently lame. He was the only civilian with a Australian navy pension. There was sabotage on the docks, Stalinist working for Adolf! No one was caught. You guys have it easy today.
God bless . Be safe

Great video, as always! I'm just a bit confused - didn't you pass the Magellan in october?
Is the passage through the straits because it's cheaper or faster or is it because of the restrictions in canal traffic due to the low water in lake Gatun?
Probably cheaper and faster. Rio Grande is near the Southern end of Brazil.
My wife and I send balikbayan box's
often to a remote Island in the Philippines. My wife grew up there so she is not spoiled like many city girls. We are old and retired and grew old together. If I was not a sailor I would have never met my wife. You sound like Americano 🙂.
Have you and ship been to New Zealand chief?
Hi Cheif, what are you doing to cargo spilled on the deck, as you shown in the video, are you going to collecte it and put it to the cargo holds or you just clean it away with air/water jet to the sea?
The Cook takes it into the pantry.
Til the next time Chief.
Dear Chief Makoi - what is the name of the vessel you are
serving ?
With low water levels in Lake Gatun decreasing the number of ships transiting Panama Canal I would not be surprised if more ships option for Magellan until Gatun water levels stabilize.
The -Spice- Rice must flow.
Is this rice meant for human consumption? Seems very exposed to contaminants. Thanks for the video.
Probably for planting.
They use that to make Budweiser!
Long time no see How are you Thank you Chief very much for sharing take care great and stunnig video
How did you clean up the deck after all that rice was on it?
Chief when you come to port of cleveland id luv to show you my city 🇺🇸🚔
My brother in fleet management&My son on tanker ships in MTM shipping
👍👍👍
When cleaning the cargo holds, are any engine crew ( greasers, motormen ) involved, or it's only the deck crew (AB's. etc )
Most of the time just the deck crew. If extra help is needed, they sometimes borrow the engine crew.
Is rice dust flammible like wheat dust?
How rice is lost in loading? Second doing you have worry about dust explosions or fires? Also does a rice and similar cargo cause problems do the load shifting?
Takes you a long time to vlog and yet your videos are are short?
🤡
Grat video as always fella
Few questions ... when you were taking on bunker fuel you said that your colleague went down to do some sounding.. what did you mean by this ?
Also with all that rice and dust all over the ship how do you go about cleaning the ship down after ?
Do you just hose it down while your underway ?
He checks if the barge has sufficient amount of cargo in their nominated tanks. And yes, the dust gets hosed down when the ship gets to the open sea.
Chear fella thank you
From a very cold wet uk .. RESPECT!
Even if the hold is cleaned very well how do you know there is not contamination carried over to the rice? Could this be a potential health hazard?
YOU DONT MENTION THE STABILITY CALCULATIONS . ARE THE CALCULATIONS DONE ON COMPUTER ? I WAS AT SEA 40 YEARS AGO AND I HAD TO DO THE CALCULATIONS BY HAND AND HAD TO MAKE AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT CALCULATIONS ( PRIOR TO LOADING) DEPENDING ON THE STOWAGE FACTOR OF THE GRAIN . HOW IS IT DONE NOWADAYS ?
Enjoy your passage through the Strait of Saints. I think pilots are mandatory, so you shouldn't get into too much trouble.
That's a lotta rice...
I did a distance learning Masters program in Environmental Management... It does have its own unique challenges doing it that way. You should be able to apply a lot of real world knowledge to your thesis..... I did with mine...
Interesting as always.... thanks again for sharing.
Going north seems to be a shorter route.
Shorter distance, plus the Panama canal fee is quite high, and the waiting time to transit.
Are you dumping cargo hold clean out waste into sea??
😬
Another GREAT video, but even with the volume on 100% I found it a bit too quiet. Do other think its too quiet or am I just getting deaf?🤔
I found it quiet, also. I didn't put the volume up to 100%, but most videos I listen to are okay soundwise at 50%, whereas this one, even at 88%, was still inaudible in places.
What kind of sludge is that? Human or petroleum?
