Very well done, lots of technology with plenty of backup. The cleanliness of the ship is immaculate. Good job Bryan safe travels to you and your shipmates.
Thanks for the bridge tour. Very interesting to watch.
Super interesting. Thanks for sharing that.
Lovely view of the bridge, very interesting and informative! Thank you
Thank You!
Very interesting!
Wow, thanks so much. you are an excellent public speaker. You can do that after you retire and talk about your travels. :-) Very informative. Thanks.
Thanks John. Still working on developing my public speaking skills and have found this channel to be helpful in coming out of my comfort zone to do that!
@@BryanBoyle It took me about 12 years to come out of mine doing fire prevention speaking even for children. It terrified me. Great job. Merry Christ mas.
Excellent video about all the navigation and radio equipment. I found it very fascinating and you explained it well.
Thank you! Glad you found it interesting. Navigation equipment has come a long way!
Very very useful information about bridge equipment. Thanks.
Ship is my home and the sea is my playground
Excellent video of the bridge! Nice description of all the equipment.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
We love your videos, greetings from Amsterdam.
How funny! I live in Houston and just the other day saw the Montana coming up the ship channel😂😂 that’s awesome. Cool video man!
Oh cool! She will be back there around every 35 days!
Спасибо, брат! Очень интересно!
Great videos mate👍
thank you
great job...
Very neat.
I can't help but laugh at the profile picture, it's like a marine james bond, so funny. Love your videos man!
The name’s Boyle....Bryan Boyle
Keep content coming
I like it a lot that you are not a youtuber who makes his youtubes at the costs of his crew mates by exploting them in his youtubes like this one chiefmate moki does all the time since he has 100+k subscribers.
Good job
"Password1" As an IT guy, I demand you change that password and remove the placard. : )
Uh oh should have blurred that...
When I was in the military we used to get briefings / lessons on security. We had similar example, where guys posted photos or videos of their office on social media. And you could see classified information in the background on noticeboards, post-it notes, shift rosters, etc
Another IT guy here. With the transition to digital charts, is there a crew member that is responsible for maintaining computers and other electronic equipment (e.g., installing operating system and other software updates)?
Love your videos!
The second mate handles a lot of this now, at least the computer systems on the bridge. We also have the ability to have IT guys remote into our computers to help with stuff like that. IT personnel will also visit the ships in port as well.
A very clean bridge - everything looks very well maintained. The casual dress of bridge officers also interesting. I assume there is some sort of dress code with includes suitable footware. I expect one day we will be looking at a bridge of two largish screens - one in case the other fails - as ship electronics get integrated and simplified.
We are required to wear our company coveralls as a uniform when we are entering, staying in port, and departing port. Other times we just need appropriate footwear and reasonably professional clothes that are not offensive or impractical. A lot of the bridge equipment is integrated between each other now, but the future will probably be something with just a few computer screens that looks more clean and simplified.
@@BryanBoyle Your bridge dress reminded me of construction engineers in a site office - casual attire, but can quickly done safety gear for visits to worksites (rest of ship apart from crew accommodation in your case).
Yea I try to stick to long pants and a closed toe boot or shoe as well as a flashlight when we aren’t required to wear coveralls. You never know when you may need to respond to an emergency or when a ship could lose power and go dark. The coveralls are pretty comfortable though and I’ll typically wear them when I’m working a dirty job or again when required on the bridge.
Nice video Bryan
Thanks Jeff, I filmed this back when I was working with you in October. Are you working now or off? Merry Christmas too
@@BryanBoyle I am home in vacation...Happy Christmas
you seem so knowledgeable about all the nav systems. what do you do aboard the ship? i'm 7 year usaf veteran, and when we had an exercise, i knew all the radio systems, because i integrated them all. i had my own radio room and everything. i started out in nav systems, so i kind of knew what the fail points were.
I usually sail as the second officer onboard which is in charge of the navigation. Thank you for your service!
Bryan, thanks for allowing us to tag along on your journey. Very informative video. Does your auto pilot cruise on the high seas in HDG, CRS or TRACK mode ? During one of these modes does your Helm move is synchronous with the the rudder ? Do you see the Helm moving right and left to satisfy the mode engaged ?
We run it usually on HDG mode. Most ships I work on don’t have the track mode connected to the ECDIS. Unless it’s a money thing, I think the reason is they want us to remain active in the watch and not let the autopilot just steer us automatically down the track without input. The helm is electro hydraulic, so it sends electric signals from it to the hydraulic steering gear pumps. Since there is no direct mechanical linkage, it does not move at all when the rudder moves on autopilot. Great questions!
@@BryanBoyle HDG mode in Big Ships means Gyro HDG (True Heading) right ? as opposed to Magnetic HDG or after deviation correction Compass HDG.
Wow, cool man. I love boats and shipping and the bridge always interests me visually as I always wander what everything is! So thanks for explaining, although my favourite piece would be the depth gauge but wasn't working 🤷🤣is that normal? I'd assume was pretty important lol. Nice work 👍
Glad you enjoyed! The depth sounder was working, it just doesn’t get accurate readings when we are in water that deep which is why it was showing an inaccurate reading.
@@BryanBoyle nice man, thanks for the reply. even though the sounder aint working, is the depth still known by other means or is it basically that deep its irrelevant to the ship? treated like redundant details basically? i would just find it cool as hell when working on the bridge to know how deep the water is below the ship. thanks again for reply and detailed videos:)
Interesting video! I have one question about AIS: Are the safety-related or routine priority text messages used much on them?
I always found that feature to be extremely unusual, due to the user interface design of the AIS transceivers.
From what I've seen, they often have the rotate and press style of wheel, or a set of arrows plus enter key, to select the letters, and I have a feeling that such UI would discourage actual writing of messages.
They do get used but in my experience the messages are usually just test messages. Our AIS is integrated into our ECDIS with a full keyboard so it’s much easier to type messages through that.
Thanks for sharing. Really cool. Why happens if the ecdis goes down? What would you use for back-up?
In order to be a paperless navigation chart bridge, we have to have two different standalone ECDIS units in case one fails. We still keep the paper charts onboard as well, but they are for reference only since they aren’t kept up to date anymore.
@@BryanBoyle Thanks for the response. I just found the channel and I am really enjoying the videos.
Hi... I'd like to talk to you about more ship options. And get more insight into getting my own crew put together.
Great Vid Keep sharing such informative contents , btw I'm a Deck Cadet : )
Thanks and hope you are enjoying your training. Which school?
@@BryanBoyle Anglo Eastern Maritime Academy 😊
when will you switch on navigation lights ?
I want to ask Sir about kinds of navigation bridge
But I can't post picture of it here
Thanks for showing your Life of Bryan, Bryan. We have learned a lot and apreciate your detailed explanations. Mærsk should ask you to make trainingsvideos for new staff! @Mærsk
Hi Bryan,
I'm curious about becoming a mariner myself. I was hoping if you could answer a few questions?
I've read on the internet that there are basically 2 ways to become a mariner. One is to graduate from a 2-yr community college program or a 4-yr academy program, and the other is called "hawsepipe" (? not sure if I'm spelling that right) where you basically join as the lowest ranked deckhand and work your way up. First of all, is this correct? If so, I would be interested in the latter route as I already have a 4-yr bachelors degree and in fact am in grad school working towards a masters degree atm (in a completely unrelated field to mariner stuff), so I'm sick to death of schooling and also getting older. How would I go about "hawsepiping"? Do I have to apply for jobs to individual shipping companies and see if they'll take me on? Do I have to get any certificates?
And most importantly, where exactly would I find all this information and others? Relying on youtubers to answer my questions doesn't seem like a very efficient way to figure out how to become a mariner. I'm also in Canada so I believe things will be different than how it is in the US.
Thanks for anything you can tell me.
Hi Chris, the 4 year academy and hawsepiper route are two different routes to become an officer in the maritime industry. The academy is a regimented school program that also included a full year of cadet time aboard a ship. To be eligible to sit for your third mate or third engineer license, you need that year of cadet training through the school. The other route called hawsepiper is becoming an unlicensed crew member such as an Able Bodied Seaman and then working to build the extensive sea time you need while studying and taking classes at various sea schools around the country to be eligible to sit for your license exam. This route is not any faster to become an officer as you need years of sea time to be able to sit for the exam. However, if you just want to be a Mariner and not necessarily an officer, you will be able to become an unlicensed crew member much quicker with far less schooling at various training facilities as well. From that point if you decide you like the industry you could be working while training to be an officer in your own time utilizing the hawsepiper route. Check out www.gcaptain.com for all the answers to your questions! (At least for the US side of things) good luck!
Hi sir is the wheelhouse and bridge are the same?
Whats the "Navtex receiver" underneath the AIS? Never seen that before.
The navtex receives radio signals that convert to texts regarding safety, weather and navigation warnings. It’s older technology that is being replaced by satellite communications
Function of the "Do not throw away" paper towel tube? 😀
That’s our high tech magnetic compass reading device! Sometimes it’s hard to read the magnetic compass in bright sunlight, so the helmsman will use that to cut out glare when looking up at it
What if you lose power? Those reference charts may come in handy.
All of the navigation equipment has redundancy and individual battery power systems. They also can operate on the emergency diesel generator in case of sudden power loss. However, I do think they are worth keeping onboard in case all of that fails. The only problem is that they no longer get regular updates so navigating with them could cause issues.
All about GMDSS please 🥺
👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤👌
What kind of watch are you wearing?
Garmin instinct
What is the name of the ship
PRE VACCINE after two weeks at sea could you all demask?
Sal sent me.
Whos sal
@@154g ua-cam.com/channels/T_yBgKSiwb3WP4ACPnF5nA.html Sal has his own channel and he mentioned Bryan and suggested visiting his site. It was a very good suggestion.
There is High radiation near ship satellite dish
Yea we don’t go up to the flying bridge where the antennas are without securing radar and satellite equipment.
takes a lot of juice to squirt the bird.
Mærsk.
Hello Sir!
I watched your video and it really helpful.
can I contact you in Facebook or something else ?
I am not on Facebook but you could send me an email if you’d like or comment here
@@BryanBoyle
excuse me! Can i get your email address Sir!?
Boyleb2@gmail.com
Thank You Sir ❤️
Im waiting for elon Musk to give us star link connection on board so that we can get hi-speed internet. On board vessels.
That will be amazing. I’m patiently waiting as well!
it wont be long before all you will need to run a ship is a cell phone
Haha yea I’ve envisioned myself in the future being able to work from home by standing watch with an iPad in my living room!
