    Jeff, you are a breath of fresh air on these types of videos. I have been trying to learn things about shipping for weeks now, but NOBODY gives the information as clear and as simple as 'you' do.
    Thank you.

    Hey jeff!! i'm an apprentice deck cadet and your video has been really motivation, assisting with mooring operations is one of my weak areas, when ever the officers give me a chance to over see the mooring at the aft station i get a bit intimidated and loose my cool, but i'm definitely working on it so i'm looking to improve on it really soon
    Cheers!! :-)

    I have to say, I found your channel through a friend who shared your 30-day time lapse and he used to be a submariner in the Royal Navy and I’m so glad that I found your channel since then, I don’t think I’ll ever work in the maritime industry but there will always be some attraction to me, maybe because my Grandad was also in the Merchant Navy many, many years ago. I never thought I’d find all this stuff so interesting but it seriously is to me, I just wish I could get out to sea a lot more (only been out once as a child!)

    Bro bro bro !!! Excellent!!! Great !! Clear Good explanation, clear English, and most importantly the technical vocabulary used in maritime and port operations! My first language is Spanish but I worked several years in a port and today I am learning much more with your vocabulary and explanations. In fact, there were no videos that showed and explained the way you do it, very good friend of mine!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

  • @nicklasvedin
    @nicklasvedin 5 років тому +13

    Very informative and entertaining video! As a fan of automated mooring, I would just like to point out that the MoorMaster system featured 35s into the video actually handles tide and waves better than ropes, keeping the vessel more stable while also mooring in less than 30 seconds at the push of a button. If anyone wants to know more, feel free to reach out!

    • @nicklasvedin
      @nicklasvedin 5 років тому +5

      The system of mooring robots attach with vacuum pads to the hull and control the position of the vessel with hydraulic actuation. By controlling the forces in surge and sway while letting the vessel float freely in heave, the system is subject to less forces than if there were ropes and the advanced control system keeps the vessel stable.

    • @nicklasvedin
      @nicklasvedin 5 років тому +5

      The system also moors the vessel in less than 30 seconds and releases in 15 seconds (compared to somewhere around 20 minutes to moor the ship with mooring lines) at the push of a button. In this way, the system also keeps everyone safe, eliminating snap-back zones.

    • @nicklasvedin
      @nicklasvedin 5 років тому +5

      On a side-note: really love the memes :-)

    JeffHK - these are great! I know you don't get to see a lot of it, but I'd be curious how terminal ops work - once the can is off the boat, the stacking, out gate, etc - also what's the differences between automated and non-automated ports with regard to turn time and speed.

  • @lifestylewiththetemminks

      Hi Doctor Ive had this mole on my butt for the past 3 1/2 years that is 1 cm in diameter and 2 cm of width. Its dark brown and the borders are curvy. I stay out in the sun all day and Ive had my tonsils taken out when I was a kid and I think that mayeb related. I smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day and have type 2 diabetes. Do you think you could tell me why I feel so depressed lately, I think some hydrocodone would help me.

    • @BABYSDOC_MOBILE_YOUTUBER
      @BABYSDOC_MOBILE_YOUTUBER 6 років тому +5

      For Comment Purposes A thick and dark yellow phlegm may be a sign of a viral or bacterial infection, sinus infection, or lower respiratory tract infection. Typically, this occurs when the immune system sends white blood cells, known as neutrophils, to the area of infection. These cells contain a green protein, which, when present in large quantities, turn the mucus into a greenish hue.
