What's the puddle of water at 3:45? Should that be there?
Hi JeffHK, I have a question, how does ventilation of this duct keel work? Is it ventilation continuous and like a car tunnel? Thanks!
the background music isn't loud and annoying enough
Jeff, your skills for giving your videos an excellent production value are through the roof! Absolutely top notch! Please keep it up, I am always looking forward to your next video.
Thank you! Your encouragement means alot to me, keeps me motivated to continue making videos :D Very happy that you enjoyed it.
I enjoyed lots of your videos too. Brought me back to my days on container ships. I was introduced to your video through a twitter from our Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Probably he subscribe to your youtubes too.
People should buy my "Impact" a James Grider novel on Amazon. This stuff is good to know if I ever need to write about ships which I most likely will at some point. I'm a loser who sits on a couch and writes about shit and I can easily find out crap by pirating books and watching channels like this, crap I know nothing about and have no business writing about.
It is very interesting seeing these videos! I have always been fascinated by those huge ships! Thanks for sharing
His video's are better than the Discovery Channel, great work Jeff !
lol i wish, thanks for the support!
They are! Discovery Channel documentaries give very brief overviews with very little details. The Duct Keel might just get mentioned before they jump to another section or the drama of "are we going to make this delivery on time". In general I'd say the Discovery Channel aims to entertain rather than inform and educate.
Its not even a joke. These days channels like National/Discovery are nothing but bull****. They cant make a program without adding to EVERY, SINGLE, scenario; he could die. It used to be informative and fun when I watched them 20years ago. Anyways, keep up the videos Jeff. These people are not making shit up, your videos are top notch and SO much fun to watch! Ive got people hooked on your channel that hate the sea, its a good sign :D Keep em coming
+MetalJuggler thank you so much ☺️☺️ extremely flattered, will work hard on more videos 👍
Discovery channel sucks. Full of crappy realities and nothing really interesting like this UA-cam channel.
i just got on to Mearsk as a Cadet, thanks for showing that this is a thing you can do with you life.
I'm 25 and I've been stuck in a dead end job for 5 years.
Thank your Jeff
Maersk is one of the best! You''ll have a great time there
I been stuck in a dead end job for 30 years.
How many men in their prime lifetime - like me - look at this Martime Vlog with wistful eyes, wipe a secret tear from the corner of their eyes and feel good-natured envy for the sailors? There must be an infinite number...
But in the next life I will be sailor too. I insist!
If you really wanted to be a sailor you should have done it when you were young.
That's what I did. I understand how you feel.
@@bossdog1480 I guess in some ways I'm young, but I'm walking away from a career to do it. It's never too late. Or at least it's usually not too late ha
I knew a guy who wanted to drive steam trains in the late ‘70s. He went and lived in South Africa which were still operating steam due to appartheid restrictions. He returned to Australia many years ago.
You’d have to admire a guy who lived in another country to pursue his dream. He wrote a few articles in a railfan magazine on topics such as cooking steak and sausages on the shovel in the firebox.
AKA the last spot you want to be on a ship during a collision or grounding.
Rcbif But the best place to be if pirates take over the ship
Johnny Dominguez guys you need to stop joking this is seriously dangerous and people actually get keeled down there
Why?
DJ Barrett because it’s the spine of the ships it’s at the very bottom, if it collided with something through the bottom the keel would be the first part to fill with water
Oh, ok thanks
you make it look like an easy job but actually its not...but i think you have nice senior officers...
yes I remember that inspection every Saturday morning I had to go down below and getting that god-awful tiny tunnel... every ship is different the last one I was on you had to lay on your back on the cart and pull yourself along it's a Scary Place if you start thinking about it
Thks Jeff for helping people to understand the shipping industry.
I´ve worked for many years in shipping logistics. It fascinates me!!!
In love with your videos..., for sure.
Thanks for your support!
Hi Jeff! I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of your VLOGS (Especially your safety gear change)! I've just joined the marine industry 2 years ago and am still learning - your videos help to explain all the intricacies the office staff don't get to see everyday. Thank you and I look forward to more of your awesome VLOGS!
Thank you for the support! I am glad that it is helping people understand the shipping industry, which is precisely my goal :D
Thank you for taking us on a journey that very few of us will ever get to see. Appreciate your company for allowing the video. I was expecting a dirty place with yucky bilge water etc...
Great video, super irritating music. Don't devalue your fine work that way. Thanks,
Hi Jeff. I'm a retired shipmaster and maritime lawyer. Your entertaining videos provide an excellent introduction to life at sea. They're also a great reminder that seagoing can still provide a fascinating career for young people, both male and female. Keep up the good work Jeff. I am going to recommend your Channel to my non-mariner MSc maritime studies students at NTU, Singapore.
Your videos are very informative for people who will never experience this. As a former Submariner with the US Navy I've learned a few things from your videos. I knew alot about surface ships, but my thing is underwater. So, thank you young fella for the interesting videos. I know you're land based now but keep them coming.
Well geez. This video makes me feel like venting some inner frustrations.
When I was young, watching people work was fascinating, but I was not allowed to assist or help. I assumed 'kids' were not allowed at workplaces in general and that I should take the opportunities to watch and learn. I'd get my share of work when I grew up.
But now I'm seeing videos of 'kids' doing the kind of work that used to fascinate me and I realize that I never grew up. I seem to have just sublimated straight into adulthood doing... nothing in particular. All I ever learned by watching people work was how to watch people work and I feel my energy and my life have just been fading away.
In later years psychiatrists have concluded that I've grown up with autism & adhd. I've been told that essentially, unless I manage to conceal the symptoms of those conditions, nobody is going to want to hire me. Perhaps, rightfully so. I don't know.
In fact, in my country there is at least one case where a worker with a supposedly good track record was fired by his employer after he voluntarily underwent a psychiatric evaluation and was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. I believe he went on to sue his employer for discrimination and afaik the case is still unresolved. Kudos to him, for having the energy and resources to get a job in the first place - perhaps it's because he's fortunate enough to be in control of his attentiveness. I'm not and thus I get to sit on my ass doing nothing, until my medications take out my liver at the average age of around 50 or so. Damn.
Endotype all is well
It's like the Jefferies Tubes on starships in Star Trek.
Put a camera while sailing. The flexing must be mesmerizing.
"I 'keel' you!"
-Ackmed
I have no idea how I came upon your channel but I am glad I did... Great videos, editing, and narration.
Really seems like you enjoy your job. Hats off to you sir. Don't take it for granted all I can say
Well done!
Tie a string one end to the other and video it during heavy seas to show us the flex...you'd be amazed!
+tom080955 will try that next time!
The engineering behind all this is mind boggling. Thanks for posting.
Very helpful to see it physically versus pictures in a book!
Hi Jeff: again thank you for the tour for today I just learned something new, Duct Keel inspection. Now I see how Captains know every inch of the boat, by doing everything when your a young ship mate. LOL So you guys crawl through the Duct Keel and the guy's on the 1701-D are always crawling through the Jefferies tubes...way cool. :D
+Gregory Spivey hahah yup have to get my hands dirty, learning from experience
you're just so talented in making film!
I majored in marine architecture but i have little knowledge about how a real ship look like.
Thanks you for showing us the ship!
it's the best material for learning marine engineering or navigation for ships!
I like the introduction! So i can visualize it better. Thanks a lot!
The best thing of your videos is that they are useful but funny at the same time lol. Great job Jeff!!
I love your blogs plz don't stop
vlogs*
+mr Ghostlog thank you very much, will do
I love this guy! HAHA A very informative person!
These kinds of ships are true marvels of engineering and a statement to human greatness. We can do almost anything if there is a big enough drive for it.
That fallout 4 DVD .... and the DAVE2D outro..😋😋
ive been merchant mariner for 9 years and i never had the luck to vist the duct keel. Jeff, happy sails
Good video. Most of the general public has no idea about the interior of a big ship or of the work required to keep it going safely.
I love your videos. They’re informative & very well edited!!!
that little noise you made when you dropped the camera at the end was hilarious XD
I really enjoy your videos! You make being a marine engineer/pilot exciting and insightful.
You have the single most interesting channel on UA-cam. I love your videos.
That's too cool Jeff!
Thanks for sharing!
Dude loved seeing you bust out fallout :) as a navy veteran, I absolutely love your channel. It makes me miss sailing the open seas. Great work! Also, it seems like you always have a smile on your face. It’s good to see. Keep it up man
Quite an adventure! Looks like fun. Thank you for making a great video.
The clever way you danced while putting your gear on was COOL!
i really appreciate you making these videos! And your attention to making them so well!
HI JEFF! it's nice watching your videos and i need to be a seaman someday for my family thanks for making those videos means a lot for us dreaming or seamen. i learn a lot and hope you will never get tired making videos take care! subscriber from the philippines 😊😊
Nice informative and entertaining video. I love how you animated getting into your safety gear - cool editing! :-)
Great video. I've been boarding tankers for 9.5yrs and am usually onboard anywhere from 2-20hrs. I'm a fuel treatment operator and we additize fuels, mainly ULSD but also, gasoline,MGO,VGO etc and the next time I go on I'm gonna ask the Chief if he will give me a tour of the Keel. It'll probably be a No but a good laugh. I usually ask the Chief if they will use the midship crane to pick me up out of the Gulf if I were to accidentally fall over to cool off and they usually say NO and laugh although one time the Captain said he would allow them to use the crane to get me but it happened to be a cold winter. Cool video man
The perfect place to tour after watching the movie Alien…a xenomorph behind every bulkhead!
Thank you, that was very interesting. Look forward to seeing more.
Hi Jeff!
As always, very interesting video.
Thanks a lot. .
Just like to say that the production quality of your videos is fantastic! Your pacing is great, your background music has an upbeat feel and you cover some very interesting points. Keep it up!
Reminds me of crawling through the box girders that supported the main turbines when I was in the US Navy to get out bags of coffee for the mess.
Seeing the Bilge Water alarm (and the fact that there is water in the bilge) makes me not feel so bad that my boat has water in the bilge. 8-) Another great video.
Hi jeff, I didn't see you wearing H2S monitoring system or Oxygen level analyzer since u were passing by fuel line that might have some minor leaks and could lead to disaster. Is that normal procedure in the ship ? Because I'm working on oil n gas industries, whenever entering confined space like what you did its mandatory for us carrying such tools (oxygen level analyzer or h2s monitoring system)
From what I understand, such gear is typically required only if you're going into a place not designed for people to access. The keel seems to be a place designed for people to access, so it likely has proper ventilation built in.
Very interesting! Never knew that was accessible part of the ship. Thanks.
I've never been really interested in ships, but I find your videos really interesting !
I saw Steve McQueen do the same pully cart trick in The Great Escape.
He must have been watching Jeff
Crazy how clean that ship is.
+Richard Raymond 10 year old ship too!
Thanks for making these videos. I am certain you will be an excellent Captain
Love the video! Am bit of a maritime nerd, so I loved this vid, keep up the good work!
I just lost it at that sound you made when you dropped the camera at the end 😂
+Ash Perry 😂😂
Dude your video editing is great :) Keep up the good work !!
hey jeff, you should make a video for cadets that are going to sea for the first time, in topics such as; what to bring, clothes, media, gadgets, everything that someone should need o/b and be usefull. thanks, looking forward for the next vlog. Greetings from Panama
Great suggestion Jose, I am signing off soon, so for when joining next ship (in about 3 months) i will do a vlog and show what i prepare in person and provide some the fine details that cadets will find useful.
Now I know why they always have a small person on board a ship! To get in all those small holes and small places! LOL
Going into the duct keel is a job for junior staff. Keep working hard and one day you won’t have to do this sort of work anymore
A bit patronizing aren't we?
Another awesome video dude. I'm hooked on these. You have a fascinating life.
That is super interesting! I never knew that there is something like the keel duct! Thanks!
Interesting insight vid.
There was an other video I saw month ago showing the massive flexing and bending of the duct keel during heavy sea.
Everything about your videos is great. Love your style ...and the music
Pretty cool Jefferies tube there!
Great videos from you, I enjoy your production style and uplifting music that you add.
Nice vid!
i learned soo much about Ships from your videos Thank you
Dude i get best vibes from your channel thank u ♡◇
Mmmm dark with a tiny dash of claustrophobia, my favourite
Thanks for making this video, I never knew about the “duct keel”” but I do now.
Awesome videos on an awesome channel. Be safe, regards from New Zealand.
Thanks for your videos Sir. You make things seem so easy & fun. Thumbsup :D
Great video!! Thank you for posting it, and sharing this too!
You have lights down in a service space, and they work!
Hello Jeff. Thank you for another excellent video. I sub'd after watching the first one I found.
I have to admit, when watching the videos, I sometimes begin to look for the next upload from you before I click the "like" button.
However, I find myself watching your uploads 2 or sometimes even 3 times. Chances are, I'll catch it next time 'round if I have not already slapped that little "thumbs up" icon.
Please keep posting videos as your channel has become one of the best that I know of. (I am sub'd to well over 100)
Thank you one more time.
Cheers!
-James from Canada.
You have some awesome vids jeff, and you do such a great job narrating. You are very knowledgeable of that container ship👍
+Sunshine_water thanks bud
Great job done!! Btw, I used to serve MV china container /oocl educator/oocl explorer/oocl executive /oocl knight ,though it almost 3x years ago.
Thanks for this video! Never been to the duct keel before,despite many years at sea)
thanks for your videos. Ship construction and management is an interesting topic to me.
I love the way you put on the safety gears sirr😂
Imagine being down there just as something goes wrong and the ship starts sinking :P
How about a video of inside the duct keel in heavy seas? LOL
Top man, learning something new every day....
Very interesting video and you looked like you were having a great time on the cart!
Now if I could spend all day down there fixing stuff and never have to Renner I'm on the ocean I could totally work on a boat
1:01 That WAS SO COOOOOOOOL!!!!!!
Nice video and its interesting me to always seeing your video Jef, thanks for sharing. Cant wait your next video 👍
It is a very good video as I am innocent to the ship's enclosed space. Pls go on introducing the ship's structure. Your explanation is easy to understand though I have no technical knowledge
Excellent production!
Thank you Jeff. Brilliant
Wow, always wanted to see someone go along the keel or those windows in the hull structure! Thanks so much.
P.s. Good luck searching the entire ship, coast guard... jeepers.
This is a very cool und interesting vid. Fascinating to look into this areas of a big (cargo)ship i'd never seen before. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Just discovered your channel. Awesome!!! Look forward to seeing more!
Life is useless without your ship vlogs :(((
Thanks for your effort captain Jeff.
very good video.
Thanks for another great video! I love your channel!!
Thanks David!
