    Thank you for the Great Video. For me this is real close to my heart. My father sailed for APL / Sealand when I was a kid. He said he would bring me along for a Pacific trip to Japan. He never got the chance to do it. He passed away. He was a third generation Merchant Marine and a Captain.
    Thanks aging for the Memories

    Thanks to these awesome vlogs, i now have that bug again lol. I miss the sea so much now. Was in the US Navy for 6 years aboard CVN-70 USS Carl Vinson from 1998 - 2004 as an Aviation Ordnanceman, and now, at 41 years old, i would give my left eye to be abaord the Montana with you as a crewmate (shipmate). I miss the smell of salt water in the air, the spray of the sea during storms, the sound of the gulls overhead close to land, the sunsets and the comradarie. Im probably too old for Maersk operations now but sure would love to be out on the sea again. Thanks for sharing your vlogs with us. Fair winds and following seas.

    I was an AB for over 40 yrs, sailing on most types of ships, container ships are the most boring for an AB, had the good
    fortune to sail on a few Maersk gas tankers in the mid 80s carrying methane worldwide,good ships withgood food
    and plenty of overtime, retired now and reside in Thailand.

      Oil on the floor would be a serious fire hazard.
      Also if there's oil on the floor, there'd be a problem, like a oil leak. It'd be extremely important to fix that.

    Thanks for getting back to me, enjoyed your tour. When I was 10, my Family was on our standard two week
    Vacation in New Hampshire. We met and became friends with a Merchant Marine officer, who was an Engineer
    On the Tanker Gulfknight. He had a cottage next to ours and we invited him on several boat trips. He was a true Sailor , born in Norway. This was back in the mid fifties, and Mr. Stenslin made a very strong impression on myself and my Family.

    fantastic video showing so much of the internal parts of the ships, huge engines. I did work for the Zim Israel shipping line for 2 years, doing container control at our Felixstowe offices, I used to meet the captain when the ship was berthed. and I went on board to check # paper work # was in order for Customs etc. Used to stay overnight in a cabin because the ship was due at 19.00 hrs, but usually later. this was a smaller one of Zim ships and they have large container ships going West or East. but Zim ships were not the size of Maersk line vessels. great video you made, thanks

    Maersk Montana! Built in 2006. Love the action room/engine room. Loved the turbo on the aux engine. Think I counted 8 cylinder pots & 8 injectors to the main engine. I'm a truck mechanic by trade however I am now an exercise consultant (bachelor in sport & recreation) and naturally I loved the GYM! Here's my tip for you and it's not gonna cost you a cent. Ask the skipper/boss to invest in a Rowing Ergometer. It is the best piece of cardio & all-body strength equipment money can buy. If you want me to show you how to use it - then your boss will have to employ me. Loved the movie room! 20:29 - how romantic - the love boat...What fascinated me about your sweet vid is that I didn't see one fellow worker on board. Are you the only employee onboard? I guess nobody was working on Thanksgiving 2017...

      The Grimwiz you are correct, he is a Captain, but he holds another function within the company, so he’s not currently sailing as a captain of his own vessel

    Amazing... I Always Loved Ships almost as much as I love Aviation. Been on many a Cruise ship...while folks watched the shows I Bribed my way with Engineering to take a peek at the Powerplant....Amazing... the Fuel is like Tar...Preheated to like 200F to flow to the injectors.... Amazing machines.

    Thanks for posting this. Complexity of the ship is unfathomable (no pun intended). Hope to travel on one of these as a passenger sometime soon.

    I worked for Maersk for nine years 88-96 in Chicago, first as Stack Train Mgr. then as refrigerated cargo and special equipment coord. Loved the Danes; the US mgrs. not so much. Got aboard a vessel once, while it was in port in Tacoma and I was on vacation.
    Maersk is a part of the massive A P Moller empire in Denmark which includes deep sea towing, oil rigs, and much more.
    I was told that AP Moller accounts for one third of Denmark's GNP and its all privately owned by the grandson of the founder, the late Capt. A P Moller who started with one tramp vessel in the early 1900s. The origin of the seven-pointed star on the funnel emblem is worth looking up.
    AP Moller also builds their own "vessels" (the Danes don't call them "ships") in their own shipyard and owns the world's largest fleet of ocean-going vessels. If I remember correctly, if the name "Maersk" is the first word on the vessel's name, the vessel is leased. If "Maersk" is the second word, they own the vessel.

    Great video. I appreciate the tour of the spaces that you don't normally see. Just amazing that anyone can make sense of all the pipes, valves, cables, fitting, and so forth- especially behind bulkheads or under decks. I still don't understand why there isn't a conning room or wheelhouse at the front of the ship to help put some eyes on what's ahead. I can see needing the bridge and it's wings aft during mooring but not underway, especially with containers stacked high and in heavy shipping lanes. Would be like driving a pickup truck from the rear cargo bed while trying to look around a load of appliances still in their boxes!

    Great video. My father was in the merchant navy in the fifties. The first time he ever saw a folklift truck was in New York harbour. I wish I'd followed in his footsteps.
