Starting up the Ship's Engine and leaving port
Uploaded just on time after watching the premier of Game of Thrones S8E01! I hope you enjoy this guys. Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT and for those who are new to my channel, SUBSCRIBE!!!
I'm a new sub. Very interesting content. Stay safe !
Super sir
Sir I am kindly request sir you want upload Electro technical officer job life and story sir please sir you want upload sir I am a BE EEE holder I want join ETO course so you want upload sir
I’m not allowed to watch Game of Thrones 😐😭
I just watched this after watching GoT. Good combo.
As I was an engineer away at sea this guy certainly ,shows what it is all about,some of the best years of my life,will never regret one minute,,,! Thanks for bringing back the memories,,,!!
When you mentioned that it wasn't as simple as turning a key, I was hoping you'd say that it takes "2 keys" like one of those really secure lock boxes. =D
In any case, thanks for the cool video and showing a side of how we acquire a bunch of the goods we enjoy every day. It's amazing how much of a regimented and procedure-driven environment seafaring and aviation are. Ultra high-stakes if you get it wrong.
Cheers, Chief!
Super detailed and informative! It doesn't take for granted that the viewer knows anything about ships, and covers each step. Thank you for teaching me. I didn't realize that 2 cycle ships used engines, not transmissions, to reverse. But I guess without camshafts it doesn't matter.
Love your content chief! Having grown up in the desert I know very little about ship operations. You have opened a window to a side of life I will never experience.
chef makoi your humility is the painful foundation for all your virtues you are smart men i like all your videos
Very interesting. A lot goes on just to start a ship's engine up. I had no idea it would involve all that. Thanks for posting learning new things is nice.
Hats off CHIEF..., no words.
One of the best episodes from you, and believe me, I've seen all of them.
Thks indeed for sharing.
Thanks chief Makoi
Hopefully more videos to be upload like this. Thumbs UP
This is the first time I've seen Main Engine to start from compress air... I've always been on engine that starts with battery.. A very helpful video. Thank you for sharing some knowledge
Large Marine Diesel engine are started by compressed by means of its starting valve w/c inject compressed air to each cylinder
Guy is so chilled, humble and clever .......makes you feel like he is talking to you personally.
I agree, Brian. It's like your sitting the kitchen table having a conversation with an ole friend.
That person is the chief engineer of that ship
@@nazarenopondoc7873 I was surprised.
They release the mooring lines! I thought these ships were responsible for continental drift, towing entire continents about. ;)
Seriously though, calm and thoughtful voices educate, idiots screech and bellow.
He is like an old friend. He also has a good sense of humor
Agreed, man. Chill and very educational.
Nice presentation. Most people have no idea what goes into cargo ship operation and therefore can't appreciate it. I'm a mechanical engineer, so I am able to appreciate the coordination between the myriad systems, sub-systems, crew and engineers aboard. Thanks Chief.
You are not only a superb chief engineer but you are also chief at engineering superb videos.
It's a bit more involved than putting her in neutral, pressing the glow plug button for 40 seconds then turning the key.
Great videos and channel, chief. My wife has been sailing for twenty one years and has been sailing on her Chief Unlimited license for around ten years. Always enjoyed the engine room tours on the various ships she has worked on over the years.
That is awesome!
This vlog is the best way to enhance our learnings specially in marine engineering studies thank you sir! 😊
I am a former merchant marine as an engineer and have worked in different ships such as Cargo vessels, bulk carrier, Ro/Ro, and super oil tankers (300.000 DWT.) for total 13 years. traveled all around the world. they were the best years of my life. I am 65 yrs old now. I have missed sailing over the oceans and the storms!. if I was born again I would be working once more at sea at least half of my life. my second profession is video production in the USA. this is how I make my living these days. therefore. I have to say that you have done a great job producing this video. I like it very much. great shots and good editing!. thank you, my friend. take care!.
Thanks Steve. Coming from you, that is a huge compliment!
Very cool video Chief. Never knew so much work went into docking or leaving port. Always enjoy the videos much love to you and the crew from Windsor, Connecticut USA.
Thanks Bernard!
Fascinating! I had no idea so much goes into just getting a ship's engines up, and running. Thanks.
Hello Chief Makoi. Always amazed by your vlogs. Have a safe voyage.
It's amazing to see see how things have progressed over the years
My first ship was a 1950's built tanker with a 9 legged Sulzer. There was no control room and only 2 alarms, one for the FO purifier and one bilge alarm
My first ship was 1960s built tanker with a Doxford opposed piston engine. Two pistons in each cylinder. No control room. Engine orders telegraphed from the bridge.
Really appreciate this video. Calm clear delivery of information. Perfect Teaching Tool. RESPECT is due to the author!!
Your videos are getting much more sophisticated, Chief...great work.
Thanks John!
Great vid! I already know many details of this gear, and still learned several details new to me. Yeah! You are very clearly spoken, perfect cadence, and CALM! 'Couldn't be better. Thank you for your service to us all. Some lucky shipping outfit snagged an A class seaman.
Incredibly amazing 😉 & fascinating. Keep going Chief. 👍🙏🇵🇭
Ty❤️
Please don't miss the engineer and his assistants hard worked clothes... It's a tough job... Great video Sir... Regards from an Indian seafarer....
Very nice operation and presentation! Loved the shot of the tug through the hawsehole. Made the whole process look really majestic with the photography and editing. I've only been on one big ship, but ran my own shrimp trawlers for about 18 years and my mooring and docking by my self in wind and tides never went this smooth!
This makes Grand Theft Ship so much easier.
Thanks for the tutorial.
You're the best sir 👍
We'll done. Newton law of motion remains the same even though there are technology advance to suit their work atmosphere. Happy on/off shore journey. Long live. Thanks.
Another excellent vlog, Chief! Very informative. I was an ME myself, and you explained it very well even for an everyday Joe.
Thanks!
Thank You Chief, I enjoyed your video and explanation. I was hoping for engine noise etc. but that is life. Thanks again!
Love your stories and style Chief ! Kept it up
You look eerily familiar to captain haddock....tinitins adventure
Added this on my download list!.Thank you sir makoi for making this, It helps us a lot specially to those aspiring seafarers!
Awesome.. I'll allways keep this information on hand to remind me of key factors on ME preparation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
To the point, simple and straight explanation cheif. You have given a general idea about pre departure procedure. It will be welcoming if you make a detailed video about pre departure checks and procedure, both engine and deck side. Great effort cheif. Thanks.
Thank you Mate USS BLUE RIDGE LCC19 , 🇺🇸
I was in the royal Navy. But not cargo. This reminds me of those times. I was also a marine engineer. So ca appreciate what's going on on your vessel.
Your videos are so fun and so well done thank you for sharing may seem like everyday life to you but it kind of makes for a fun watch for the rest of us thank you thank you thank you keep up the good work
Chief Makoi's time lapse are the boss!
Camera footage, angles and editing is perfection.
Narration too
I am 24, turning 25 in june. I have 2 years experience as a process operator in chemical factories, but i need more adventure and travel during work. Oh, and i dislike the traffic jams too. In September i'm starting at the Antwerp maritime academy to get my bachelors in Maritime Engineering :)
I've started studying and refreshing some maths because needing maths is no joke here :)
Thanks for the video. Very good JOB. Congratulations
Thank you For the very informative video Chief! Ganun pala ang actual nang 1 hour before departure for preparing ME hehe diko na intidihan prof namin ganun pala yon haha . Salamat sir! It helps a lot to us, MarE students sir. God bless!
Dude... you make videos like this in your spare time??
You might have missed your calling...
Very good observation!!!
What a refreshment!!! But it got me nostalgic...
What an awesome presentation, this was an all around well made video hands down.
Thank you for another great video. They are always packed full of neat information & edited to perfection!
Thank you young man, enjoyed your video.👍👍👍👍
Most excellent video, love it! Never knew about FIVA engines, very interesting. The seafaring world is amazing. Thank you, Chief.
Man you make me back to the most smily days
These type videos are so cool thanks for the wonderful content
I am going to save this video and watch it on my day off Chief. This is going to be great!
This is National Geographic to me..thank you sir.
Nicely put together, Chief. Awesome job, good camera technique and shooting, good cutaways and detail images. Your editing was textbook.
Great upload well explained thanks from Australia
Thanks. I never knew about these details of main engine start on a ship.
The different ships, because of the different engineering plants, can take up to 8 hours to get the engines ready. Steam plants need time to warm the firebricks in the boiler so that the bricks don’t crack. For ships like navy destroyers with boilers, in a “Pearl Harbor” scenario the ship can get underway in minutes by sacrificing 1 or 2 boilers while ships with gas turbines can get underway quicker with little to no damage.
In 1986 my ship was in Subic Bay and at morning quarters we were told to be prepared to get underway in eight hours. At this point one of our four gas turbine engines was out of the ship. An hour later we were told to be prepared to get underway in four hours. At two hours after morning quarters we were told to be prepared to get underway in two hours. At three hours after quarters we were underway and the engine had been put in the ship far enough that we could bring it online in a day or so.
The scramble to get underway was brought about by President Marcos fleeing the country and my ship was to assist if he fled by helicopter or small boat.
In 14 years at sea in the navy, I served on six classes of ships and have gone dead-in-the -water at least twice with engine failure. Once, just off the coast of California and once, just West of the International Dateline.
Wow. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I really enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!
Thanks Chris!
Great story. Thanks for making this.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Stay safe out there, friend! 🍻
Such an awesome video! with simple and sweet explanation
Fascinating video, you answered all my questions, thanks!
First time viewer. Thanks & Aloha
The engine turning gear used to be called barring gear. It got the name because the couplings on steam turbines had slots so the shaft could literally be barred manually if the batting motor failed.
Steam turbines can be scrapped if not kept turning as they cool or while they are being preheated first use.
Thanks for the vid. Never knew of a reversable diesel engine. Nor hydralic operated valves in place of a cam. Wbich allows reversal. And I have seen many things most havent
Ok , I give up...you win. Subscribing now. Videos keep popping up and I keep watching them. Thank you, these are very interesting and educational videos.
Awesome. Thank you I enjoyed it very much.
Nice upload, Cheng. Always nice to see the deck-apes at work casting off lines or making them fast. But that air-conditioned control room in main engineering! The lap of luxury!! 😆
It's actually a necessity but not for the people but for the electronic components 😁
(rolls eyes) Ok, Cheng. It's JUST for the electronics. (LOL)
@@goofyleo3869 hahaha
Gotta be navy or MSC using a term like CHENG; lol in our world its Chief, Chief Engineer, or C/E
As a teacher or marine engineering I am always looking for excellent content to share with my students. I am subscribed and am looking forward to exploring all your videos and will be showing this to them this week. Wonderful work Chief.
A snappy salute for you midshipman...
I would like to give thumbs up again if I could just for importance of this video!
Awesome explanation with very clear and good video recordings of important areas of the ship pertaining to the subject that is discussed , truly educational and enjoyable to watch thanks chief , Keep up the good work , God bless you always 👍
Thank you that was very enlightening and here was me worried about taking my 43ft yacht out for the first time 😁
Once again thanks Chief
man, great cinematography
Wow, I've watched ships come and go from Freeport, TX, and I've only seen PILOT boats, but never a PILOT helicopter
I wish I had know about this career 50 years ago. I may have chosen this career.
Awesome as always Chief! Happy easter!
Super and Awesome Sir. I am loving the Ships. You give more details about the starting procedure.
Wow..That's amazing. Thanks for the nice video explanation.
Another VERY interesting VLOG Chief
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this!
Thnks chief for this wonderful video.
Great video, and i really enjoyed you simple explanations for something that seems so complex. I have been on 4 cruise ships and make sure i am on the bow when coming into or leaving ports. I find ships fascinating. I will check out your other videos. Thanks again. Your commentary and personality are very likable.
Thank you for the great videos
I have become a fan chief.
Love it never seen a engine start up on a big ship thanks for doing it love the channel and hope you keep making these amazing vedios
-Chief engineer here. Warp speed at your command.
Entertaining and Fascinating. Ganda at laki ng ship nyo sir! Safe Sails Chief Makoi
Hnd ako Seaman Sir Peru nahiligan ko ang manuod sa mnga videos mo ... Saludo ako s kagalingan nyu Sir ..
Dude thank you SO much! I was just about to start my new cargo ship and I was confused AF.
Idol talaga kita sir.... Mabuhay ka
That answered some questions I had. Still would like to know more details on actual starting of the engine. I understand there are differences but a typical scenario. You must get the engine turning a certain RPM then introduce fuel? Is the compressed air injected via the normal intake valves or is it separate? Etc.
Sir, it's separated from exhaust valve,
Very interesting and informative Chief safe travels to you I’m looking forward to watching the new game of thrones also
Landlubber again...something I forgot to mention....If any of the people out there watching your videos happen to be in the San Francisco area, please make visit to the Jeremiah O’Brian....It’s one of only 2-3 working Liberty Ships still afloat and running....A foundation supports the vessel, and takes it out at least once a year around the Farralon Islands off of San Francisco Bay...You can visit the entire ship, including the engineering spaces....It has a triple-expansion steam engine and is completely fascinating!!!
Great video Chief...
8:18 Looks like the Chief has brought his pet python on board!
So does the engine rotate clockwise and anticlockwise depending on direction required? With valves and injection controlled externally this would be relative easy for a computer to make happen.
I missed you my friend! Safe travels!
Very interesting, and the presentation was excellent !
Chief underway is the only way. Liked you video so much I subscribed with a Tumbs Up! STS1 (SS) ;o)
