- Life At Sea In The Merchant Marine Aboard A Cargo Ship
2.5 Hour uncut view from the bridge of a Maersk Container Ship undocking from the North Charleston Terminal in Charleston, SC and then transiting the channel outbound to sea.
The channel was previously closed due to dense fog. Most of the fog had burned off but some fog still lingered in the channel.
This is a great video to leave running in the background or to put up on a large screen tv.

Please be safe out there. I really enjoy your videos. I can only wish my Dad was here to watch them with me. I miss his stories but your videos bring his time at sea to life once more.
Thank you. I’m glad to hear my videos bring some comfort and memories to your time with your father
I watched this while studying, truly relaxing and a good way to stay focused, thank you.
I love this! First Class PIlot here, this is an excellent outbound run. But just imagine if this was at night, with rain and wind. The true art of ship handling. Keep these channel runs coming.
Thanks Mark, Congrats on getting to the position you are at! I have one more uncut video to post of the passage into Norfolk. I will be sure to keep filming these though to get as many different weather conditions as possible
Did the Thumbs up at beginning because of the length. Looking forward to watching the whole thing sometime here this trip on the Upper Mississippi
You shipping dudes live life in slow motion... very relaxing...
relaxing for who? haha
@@brianlacroix822 its relaxing for me
Very cool video! Thank you for taking your time to make it.
This view from the bridge reminds me of the trip I did on a container ship from Aus to USA and return I had a great time
Another great video Cheers
Calm seas makes for a smooth video. Nice clear video.
I could definitely use loads more of these. I see you have another 4 hour one, I'm going to save that one for next weekend. When I play games I need some kind of background activity going on and this is perfect. Beautiful quality as well and thank you for including audio. Have fun out there
Thanks! If you are able, I recommend putting it up on a tv screen. It’s awesome to see it on a large screen and almost makes it feel like you are onboard! Stay tuned for even more uncut videos
Very nice, thank you, love it...
1:20 I like the departure sound
This is the kind of video I like to fast forward through. You still get to see pretty much everything but at a fraction of the time. I went up and down the Cooper river many times from 1965 to 1967 on the USS Robert H. McCard DD822. 😊
More of this please! While therer are thousands of full departure and arrival video from flight decks, there are very few full departures and arrivals from ship's bridges. Great vid!
Thanks! I just posted another uncut video of the arrival into Norfolk, VA. Hope you enjoy
@@BryanBoyle I surely will! Subbed!
thank you so much more of those if you could
Love your videos. Charleston (RO-RO terminal) is the first port I steered into as an OS.
Danke :)
Joh hey Bryan, ehm nice to see you working on mine favorite part of the cargo movements from seaside to landside, as i can call it like that. I never stopped imagine how it actually worked on the ship, i mean ofcourse i know there is a lot of unload and loading proces going on, but there is so many hidden scene about it. I mean i working on a airport at Amsterdam Schiphol, to working with planes, and know now a lot how its going up there... but i always wondering how its going on the portside, or harbor, and i even mentioned once to travel with one of this cargo ships, to see how everything is working, I mean i spent a lot of time on the sea together with mine family on the sea, but i always wondered about the cargo ships, and you just let us an little view inside of this amazing world. Thanks for that, i want to see more, so I gonna surcribe to see more of this, Or if you have any other information about traveling on a cargo ship, let me know, so maybe i still can join on a trip on a cargo ship,
Greetings from the Netherlands, maybe one day see you on the port of Rotterdam! Nicely done vid!
And please ofcourse, be safe!! Have an beautiful safe trip on the ship.
Nice video..
Great Video! Can you show us how the AB steer the ship in this kind of situation? Thanks
We are just leaving Charleston! Were camping here this week. Thanks for the footage.
Awesome! Hope you enjoyed your time in Charleston. Where did you guys camp?
@@BryanBoyle Thanks! We camped in the James Island Campground. Visited a very windy Folly Beach and went into Charleston for a day.
I'd love to see one of these but in stormy weather!
I do have another uncut video on my channel that shows the ship going through developing seas. I agree a major storm would be cool too!
Watching these videos is so different from what I experienced in the Navy over 40 years ago (even operating out of the Cooper River in Charleston) that these look like a Ridley Scott sci-fi movie by comparison (and you can now guess where he got his ideas about how things on a ship should look for something like ALIEN). Anyway, what these videos could use is some well thought-out narration. To do this would require writing it all down in advance, then working on the draft until it says everything it needs to and says it in just about the fewest words possible, and finally, looping it in in bits and pieces at the spots where different things that need to be said belong in the video.
Tip:- playback it at 2x
Brian, you should look up deadcats, they will help tremendously with the annoying wind noises.
That’s a good suggestion. I was trying my best to cut the wind noise out in post, but I agree that dead cats would probably work the best. Hopefully they make some for the GoPro
I’d like to catch you in Charleston the next time and film from the bridge.
That was just amazing...Sir is it possible for you to make something like this but in traffic i am deck cadet waiting to be onboard on my first ship and i would to see action taken by ships :)
Yes if I am able to film traffic situations I will. I will probably have to do this on another deck officer’s watch though for safety. Good luck with your training!
Wow. What kind of camera did you use? Did you use zoom lenses?
oh man Europeans like Germans and Austrians Finnish people lap up slow moving industrial 1.00x videos like this. Nice upload I hope you get 1 million views this weekend.
Thank you! I hope so too :)
Its the norwegian that are famous for their slow tv.
You can follow the hurtigruten ferry or the world most beautiful train ride Bergen to Oslo in full lenght.
Danish television did a copy of that following every danish rail road and most of these are also on youtube.
@@anderslarsen6009 Haha. Watched the whole Bergen video. My kids thought I had lost it. Just shared a link to this one with them...
@@cscady123 I might have seen it once or twice. :-)
So cool, I'm still debating about engine or deck, the hardest decision in the whole universe right now. I want to be looking out this all the time. I also want to obtain the skills and knowledge of the engineers and also career outlook. However I'm going for Nuke in the navy, and if I like the style, that'll help me define what I want to do. I can study engineering on the side anyways, right?
Yeah, I'm doing this for 20 years, I'm doing deck.
Great video How’s Jeff doing is he on. This tour? Did you guys get your Dry Dock yet or you going to the EU for that
I haven’t seen Jeff for a few months now, not sure if he’s on the Montana right now or not. That ship is heading to shipyard now though. Jeff is a great shipmate though and I hope to collaborate with him on a future video!
A question and possible future video. Where is the EPIRBS located on the ship and is there more than one? How does it work? Does it need to be tested and how often? Who is responsible for that duty?
Hi, I have a video on lifesaving equipment that shows the location of EPIRBS and gives a little info on them. I may do future videos on this equipment in even more detail though. It does get tested by the Third Officer.
I have my mmc , twic, passport & medical card , does your company have entry level or do i Have to take school?
thats pretty cool.
how far was the depart in the video?
The video ended around 16 nm off shore, but the entire passage was around 27 nm
@@BryanBoyle awesome.
Bryan was the departure done without tugs? Also what’s the depth of the main channel(s) at Charleston?
No there were two tugs. We almost always use two tugs (one forward, one aft) for docking and undocking. I’d have to double check the charts for the depths of the channels but I believe it’s around 45 feet or 13.7 meters at mean low tide
@@BryanBoyle thanks Bryan. Live in Falmouth UK, and from our cafe (retired now) used to love to watch the harbour tugs at work, move ships large and small in and out of the harbour. Has Montana gone for a refit yet? Best wishes Dorald.
Do you guys have a speed limit within ports or on a river like that? What speed (approx.) was the ship doing after departure and the 180-degree turn, 5-6 knots maybe?
There aren’t really speed limits, the pilot uses what ever is necessary to safely maneuver the ship down the channel in what ever the weather conditions are at the time. The pilots will slow down when passing other ships or other berths as well. There are also speed restrictions for right whale migratory seasons where we can’t exceed 10 knots. We were probably going around 10-12 knots in the channel, and then around 16 or 17 when exiting the channel. The turn was probably around 3 knots.
@@BryanBoyle Wow Bryan, that was a lot of info, thank you very much for it!
I'm curious how much did the company have to pay for the tugboats to escort you to the turnaround and back until they disconnected
@brian are you on V/ Maersk Semarang by chance?
No I am not. That is not a US flagged ship
@@BryanBoyle ok 10-4. Apparently several of my large 20’ISO container generators are delayed arrival to Charleston SC from Port of Valencia Spain due to the Suez Canal issues last week. These generators are manufactured at our plant in Spain. I believe they’re waiting on V/ Maersk Semarang to arrive at Valencia to load. I think this vessel was delayed as it was in transit through Suez Canal on its way to Italy and then Spain. I don’t know for sure as I don’t have a lot of access to past travel on marine traffic . Com.
I just thought it will be cool if those generators were on your vessel to maybe see them in one of your videos.
Take care and safe travels.
What's your speed limit while in the channel? Nice and leisurely ..
It all depends on the area and what the pilot wants for safe navigation. There are speed restrictions during the right whale migratory season where we can’t exceed 10 knots though.
That constant drone of the engine... I'm assuming you live by it...
Yes it has become white noise to me. I think it’s easier to fall asleep to the sounds the ship makes
im just gonna have to take a cruise on a cargo ship.
I have a question - big picture merchant marine type-... SO, you go to school get your certification, get your first contract.. lets say for easy to understand math, lets say you work 2 - 3 month contracts back to back.. or basically, 6 months..
what do you do the OTHER 6 months in that calendar year?
do you HAVE to work? do you have to log a certain amount of time in one calendar year for the union, or the government? or can you literally just work as many or as few contracts as you want in a year and then do nothing but go to disney world for the other months?
you know- in regular world you tend to have to work 50 weeks, to get 2 weeks to yourself...
I work as little as I want or up to 6 months. There is a minimum to maintain Heathcare coverage and credit for retirement though. Other than that, yes you could go live in the Cinderella castle for the other 6 months if that’s what you’d like to do with your time off!
@@BryanBoyle is 6 months the minimum?
the amount of weeks off (paid) differs greatly per country and per profession / sector. Many Northern European countries have a minimum of 5 weeks paid vacation regardless of sector they work in, and for anything that requires not being able to travel home at the end of the workday (like merchant shipping) the country itself will have labour laws governing the rights of the people working for a company registered in that country. These will be minimum rights. A company can expand on those in order to provide lucrative secondary benefits to the people working for them.
I think I need to quit military Sealift Command and come over to the commercial side 😂 it’s too bureaucratic over here
I believe masters mates and pilots has a program where you can join while still working with MSC so you can build seniority before switching over to commercial deep sea sailing!
What date is this?
This was February 12th 2021. The channel was closed the day prior due to fog, but you can still see a lot of the lingering fog in the video.
Fort Sumter to starboard at 1:30:41
hi !
Hello! Greetings from USA 🇺🇸
Dude, you need to give me a time lapse.
I have a bunch of time lapses on my channel already! Is there a specific one you are looking for?
Nice video bro but am trying to get to u in email but no reply
Hi, I don’t recall seeing any emails from you. What’s your email address?
Hey I sent you a message on instagram could you cheek it?
Just replied
