    Hi Jeff. A big shoutout to you from the Maritime Community in India. Your videos are really helping us getting an overall view of the life in the merchant marine.
    Could you please upload a video showing the duties of a deck cadet on board ships? It would be really helpful for cadets across the nation.

    Hi Jeff, comment from an 'old timer': the Captain is always in command. However, he will take the conduct (con) of the ship from the OOW as the need arises and normally when entering and leaving port or in heavy traffic areas e.g. Singapore Strait.

      Did you make it aboard one? If so, pleases update us!
      I sailed for a few years and have always hoped to go back as a passenger. All the joys, none of the watchstanding / maintenance / drudgery. Alas, I didn't win the lottery I had planned on. Being a passenger on one of these mega-container ships would be an infinitely better experience than being inside one of those overcrowded floating casinos. And port calls in *real* cities, not mind-numbing outposts of trinket malls.
      I hope you made it!

    According to the COLREG 72 and the STCW jeff, it is necessary to place beams in case of reduced visibility to use all possible navigation aids, in this case it would be important to use the RADAR and activate the S-band since this is less affected by these external agents. make another video where you can mention being things that are of great importance to us Deckofficers.
