Whats the beginning song called
Y did they take an extinguisher and a boi
What song did you chose for this video
What if you capsized
I would love to do that!
Seeing the ship flex like that is amazing.
Jeff, are there stress sensor on the bridge to indicate if the ship is flexing too much?

mrwakeup1983 Ikr i did not know that these huge ships twisted like that in heavy waves
mrwakeup1983 i know!! it's so trippy
There's a lot of super cool science involved in this. I wish Smarter Every day would do a video on it. Basically, Steel has great tensile strength (think of a string being pulled apart), but it also has a memory effect to it. This means that it can flex and twist a great deal and still return to its original shape without damage. whats interesting about this feature of steel is that it allows the ship to move around the waves instead of pounding the crap out of the occupants and the cargo. think of this flexing as what a spring and shock absorber is in a car's suspension. when you hit a bump (wave) the force would transfer straight from the collision into the chasis and into you. when the ship flexes, the energy of the wave travels through the entire length of the ship and is spread out over a greater distance rather than on one single point, causing less fatigue and greater comfort. believe me, if the ship's hull was rigid and strong enough not to flex over that length, it would be massively heavier and cause huge impulses of pounding instead of a gradual twisting and rocking.

Worry when it's not moving like a train.

As if it’s not tough enough, people forget there’s a lot less data over oceans
Weather man are ya ?
Most impressive was seeing the ship flex. Scary. Saved by good engineering.
Does it even lift though?
Agreed, you don't think about a ship flexing but it makes sense. Buildings do it in high winds and during earthquakes. If steel didn't have some give it would snap trying to resist the forces against it.
The nature is flexing that huge mass I don’t think they care that much about the quality of engineering of this class of vessels. All on board are labourers☹️
@@Ahmed-us5ns do a lot of them break apart then? Seems like a pretty dangerous idea not to build them properly.
@kool kid There is no god
Great cinematography! And it's amazing to something from real life on UA-cam instead of multi millionaires playing with their expensive toys...
Thanks!
Hola
Hbduov
as if multi millionaires playing with their expensive toys wasn't real life... it's just someone elses real life. Stop being jealous! Become a multi millionaire! Don't have what it takes to achieve that? Well sad no doubt, but probably not the fault of the Gateses and Bezoses and Bransons of the world.
Mikosch2 ...mm’s and their toys is an event that takes place for no other reason than, because they can. So technically it is “real”. The true value of that event is totally personal, and has no value outside their ego. Or yours. 95% of the worlds population will never ever have that kind of wealth. Not because they are failures. But because the they aren’t narcissistic psychopaths with only one value, greed.
IAmMr200 ......True....
Your content is so underrated! Awesome work!
I wouldn't say underrated, mostly underexposed... You can thank UA-cam for recommending shit reaction videos and not good original content u_u
What do you mean underrated it has 1.1 million views
@@cameronbahar2871 lmao
I am not sure if sailors are really brave or really crazy. Either way, sailors have my deepest respect. Thank you for all you do!
BIG RESPECT FOR MAIRTIME JOBS VERY BRAVE MEN
Crazy and brave
As an engineering student seeing the ship being flexed by the forces of the mightiest element of them all is so unbelievably satisfying. Its amazing how flexible steel really is and how flexible it has to be, because it all wouldn’t work if not.
Very fascinating video 💪
I'd never seen a maritime video with excellent production quality that gives insider access! This is beautiful, Jeff! 😍
+Vishak thanks Vishak appreciate the compliment ☺️
JeffHK would you be able to get me contact info on who would make the choice on a fuel additive I have to offer for ships? We just sent a ship around the world and seen gains in excess of 20% on fuel usage and our scar test beats everyone on the market..
Best vlog channel I have seen

Agreed. If you want a recommendation on a really cool guy who makes amazing vlogs in the wildlife, watch Youngbloods. Especially his catch and cook playlist. Amazing work
@@ryandoe11 reported!
Good morning , good night ,
Good
Evening for you
My whole family was in the Navy USA. Most of my relatives also. I'm the only male who went into the Army instead. When I was released from the military and after college the job market tanked. I finally got a job working for the Navy Refueling Nuclear Submarines. I did that until they closed the Shipyard. Now I'm driving an 18 wheeler. I really like your videos. Thanks for putting them up.
ummm do you i dont think Nuclear Submarines need refueling
@@abrahamjohn4397 Yes the U-235 doesn't last for ever about 25 yrs. In the United States Navy, Refueling and Overhaul (ROH) refers to a lengthy process or procedure performed on nuclear-powered naval ships, which involves replacement of expended nuclear fuel with new fuel and a general maintenance fix-up, renovation, and often modernization of the entire ship. In theory, such a process could simply involve only refueling or only an overhaul, but nuclear refueling is usually combined with an overhaul. An ROH usually takes one to two years for submarines and up to almost three years for an aircraft carrier, performed at a naval shipyard. Time periods between ROHs on a ship have varied historically from about 5-20 years (for submarines) to up to 25 years (for Nimitz-class aircraft carriers). For modern submarines and aircraft carriers, ROHs are typically carried out about midway through their operating lifespan. There are also shorter maintenance fix-ups called availabilities for ships periodically at shipyards. A particularly lengthy refueling, maintenance, and modernization process for a nuclear aircraft carrier can last up to almost three years and be referred to as a Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH).
@@omneil oh thank you for correcting me
Dann bist Du der Feind
@@omneil I just pressed read more and kinda regretted it, kinda
People should remember that a huge ship like this one needs to flex, otherwise the ship would succumb to extreme structural failure, which would prove to be catastrophic.
It can happen in the Indian Ocean between Western Australia and South Africa, where a bulk carrier was lost, never to be seen again . . .
Similar principle with skyscrapers ( in strong winds or earthquakes) and in nature, trees.
@@Simpleburger1968 And bridges or any major structure.
same with airplane wings and people (mentally)
@@56independent42 ooh
This is why I love UA-cam. As it keeps growing and growing it's becoming a lot more accepted to a lot of people and we get to see different peoples perspectives like this. Love your channel bro. Keep it up
I will never look at a huge ship the same way again
The flexing of the corridor just blew my mind.
I love your videos. An interresting inside view of the job.
HAHAHAHA HE CALLS THAT A STORM XD!!!! THATS NOTHING BUT A BIT OF WIND, and also, my jobs probably 100000X deadlier than his.
Corey Mckenzie This comment is among the most hilariously childish ones I've ever seen on UA-cam. Thank you for a good laugh.
Who would have said I'd encounter a troll in this sort of videos.
+Corey Mckenzie
Go fuck yourself.

You are really a talented movie maker. I am totally impressed.
This is not a movie?
This is by far one of the best videos that I have seen made by a person on youtube. The editing, angles, descriptions, narration, and content. The view of the ship flexing under stress is outstanding. Great work, keep it up.
Man, this video can make us feel and imagine how cool, but also how hard life at sea can be. Congratulations!
That timelapse at the end 😍
I dont know what your ship is like but you can occasionally hang cots from the ceiling and lay on them, sconce they are free to sway they will move less than the boat and in a more stable manner, easier to rest...
A hang cot, or hammock, slung fore and aft does take up the rolling motion but not the pitching motion. A thwartship hammock takes up pitching but not rolling. As a ship pitches and rolls in bad weather one still gets buffeted around in a hammock. It is of no advantage except for space saving. Bill Irvine
What a load of rubbish. Obviously none of you have ever been at sea in good or bad weather. Hammocks yes, but not very comfortable unless you like lying in the shape of a banana. On ships the ceiling is the deckhead. can you imagine trying to get into a cot hanging from the deckhead in good weather, never mind in a storm. Stick to what you know about. don't let your imagination go mad. By the way most navy's have given up hammocks and fitted bunks on their warships. A bunk with lifting sides is as good as any other solution. You just have to put up with it, that's the life of the mariner.
I am in the Navy, and some of us hang hammocks in the shop during bad weather. The key is lying diagonally in the hammock and tying some elastic shock cord on each side to dampen the swaying. Our racks also have straps to hold you in. Sleeping while the ship is pitching is hard, rolling isn’t so bad. My rack was next to the hull on the port fwd quarter against the hull so I got to hear the water rushing by. Very relaxing and quite used to it after 13 years at sea.
@@dannykerby9580 That actually sounds really nice, all things considered. I wish i could experience it but i know i won't last through all the motion :p
I’m totally binge watching all your vids right now - awesome channel! For someone who has always been anxious whenever I’m on anywater vessel, the idea of having to endure that “never ending pitch and roll” for days is terrifying! I’m amazed how you and every other mariner in the world survives that. Hats off to all of you! 👍
I learned and trained to become an industrial mechanic on a shipyard, now I study engineering, I suspected for a long time that ships were far more flexible than they looked rigid. Those are some great shots showing prime examples of this, thanks!
Awesome video Jeff 👍🏻 def showcases what it's like in a storm thanks :D
Wow. Great footage of the ship flexing. Thanks. Love the videos!
I was wondering if someone else noticed
I actually enjoy when it becomes bad weather, always tests the ship and makes the rest of the voyage more comforting
The hull flex was incredible. Stay safe and keep up the great videos!
Very interesting, thanks for the insights.
The view along the inner rows is insane ... looks like it's made of rubber :)
Exactly my thoughts. Just another great video! Thanks for sharing!
amazing vid! I've learned more aboit ships in the last few days, after I found your channel, than I have in my lifetime. Thank you
+scythe08 thanks 🙏 🙏
I love seeing the everyday life stuff aboard a ship like this. And seeing down those long hallways as the ship flexes definitely gives one a newfound respect for the people who engineer and build these massive boats. Thanx again for sharing.
As a geographer, I love this. Great resource for teaching about weather, ocean currents, and much more.
i’d still watch this even if i wasn’t in quarantine
Your productions are incredible. Some of the best work I have seen. The videography, the editing, it all works.
As for crossing the Atlantic under heavy weather conditions found it to be quite relaxing, at least on a bigger ship. I did it once on an aircraft carrier (USS Enterprise), and then on a cruiser (USS Gettysburg). The rolls were nice and slow on the carrier. It really put me to sleep. On a cruiser, though.....
One of the best professional seafarers storm report I have seen. Thanks for showing your cinematography without any additional drama. Sail well !!
This is amazing! Thank you for capturing it and allowing land lovers like me to see it. thanks
When I was 6, my parents and I travelled across the South Pacific on a cargo ship like yours. It was March, so peak cyclone season and we caught the back end of one cyclone and the front of another that had been vicious enough to wipe out the wharf in Apia, Samoa. I remember going up the bridge with my Dad and him picking me up to see over the dash and it was a lot like the view in this video with dark skies and the waves crashing over the hull. The sound of cyclonic winds out on the open ocean with nothing break the gusts is one of most terrifying noises on earth, paired with the hull creaking and popping and boat tilting up to 15 degrees either way. Great video man, love this channel 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice lie
Anyones with some good sense the peak isnt in march
Ok i did some. Reasearch
But march still isnt peak id say june july
3:46 WHAT!?!??! Im literally mind blown..... thats crazy how much it bends
Brings back tons of memories from my 8 years at sea in the USN. thanks for the very fond look back at my time at sea. Loved it so much!!
Watching your ship bounce up and down in the waves is so soothing. I wish you included more storm footage.
Looking at the ship bending one could easily think you're on a train
I work at the port driving tow trucks for containers.
Thanks for showing the inside of the ship which I never get to see.
I have watched this video 100s of times and never got bored. Narration, cinematography, music is simply awesome.
Wow, the huge ship bends as if it's a train.
Amazing.
I was a sailor in 1987 before Canada Halifax We encountered a storm level 12 (you probably know what it is) We lost 15 containers and inside the ship many damages
Very enjoyable viewing. I’ll never have the opportunity to sail on a ship of this size, to see what happens is great. Thank you for showing us your experiences aboard a container ship and what it takes to make it all work
Jack in Missouri USA.
Had no idea a massive ship like that would flex so much. The designers knew what they were doing. Another great video Jeff-thank you!
I'll never see ships like this in the same way again! I love seeing a new POV.
i was a cadet , did my 7 months at sea , left it now am an practicing doctor , but i can't forget the feeling being in the sea
Bad or good feeling?
once again, great video.. Great editing
I love watching the pilot boat go out to big ships in Lewes Delaware to take them up the Delaware river in USA. Safe travels!
Thank you for your videos. For some reason, they always make me feel so calm. The flex of the ship is understandable, but still amazing to see.
Thanks! you are the best!
The sea looked dangerously beautiful. Thanks for the video Sir............................................ & like always Thumbs Up :D
Seeing the ship flex like that is so cool! I guess it isn't surprising but thank you so much for showing and demonstrating it the way that you did!
Wow, the movement of the ship was amazing to see captured this way. Great job!
Awesome video. Scary stuff !!!!! Keep floating bro.
At 4:26, attractive scene. Dad was in Navy and has told of storms of various strengths. also told of being in well deck of their LST and observing the same flexing.
This channel should legit have AT LEAST 5 million subscribers. Such an undiscovered gem of a channel, this is.
This is eerily amazing, glad you had a safe journey
You got me to subscriber with this video. your shots and editing are very impressive. thanks for sharing.
That ship was flexing more than me at the gym in front of a mirror. 😆
Cannot believe how much the ship moves in a storm. Another amazing video! Thanks again.
It's amazing how these ships just don't break apart.
Simply the best.... I love ur vdeos brthr, seeing ur vdeos is really an unique experience, seriously u're awesome bro, ur cinematography, that background music what u edit in ur vdeos are out of the world.... Seriously I love them, I really appreciate ur work brthr...... Keep up the good work nd always keep smiling
Me and my family were on a ferry crossing the golf of St Lawrence, and when me and my brother were in bed we felt we were floating on the crests and slid down the bed when we listed to port.
WOW, that gangway shot really fascinated me, allways asked myself weter this would look like that, it does... Great JeffHK
Incredible how strong the movements are. Thanks for these pictures and information. Thumbs up.
keep up the good work jeff.. from fellow third mate.
I'm lucky, that I could find this channel
I am not sure why this popped up on my feed. I am sure glad it did. Excellent in every way!! Your narration is soothing and scenery is amazing!
Thank you for a glimpse into a world that few of us ever get to see. Good stuff.
goodluck human at sea~
Make more timelapse from single point pleaese. You content is amazing.
great video .... amazing to see the ship flexing
WOW. Amazing footage from inside the long “hallway”, seeing the boat flexing.
wowwww...... awsome video jeff
3:46 Flexing is amazing
the way that bends is one of the coolest things i have ever seen
Commonsense would say ships like yours would flex like that but how amazing to actually see the corridors doing it. I never thought that until I saw it.
Everyone gangsta until somali pirate started climbing the ship
awesome ... finally i find a vlogger from my species , haha
keep making more awesome video !!!
+billy herba thanks for your support , welcome aboard!
What company is yours? JeffHK
I love to watch your videos whenever I become sad. The vastness of the sea makes my mind free. You have a awsome job I bet . You are doing a awsome job . Love you sir🖤
Love these videos Jeff! Thanks for all the effort you put into sharing theses. They are beautiful and fascinating. And your narration is compelling.
Main song?? Love this video, the sea is so impressive
How can u stay well inside of the ship??
I love this channel so much. Please never stop!
Nice job. Very unique views you don't often see during rough seas, and very well explained.
Me: Those ships a freaking huge and are so strong.
Mother Nature: Hold my beer.
Even sitting here, just watching that ship flex and the size of the waves made me feel so small.
Wow I work for Maersk and I would much rather be on a vessel then in the office
I swear it looks just like you are inside a large train
Bending left than right, than back again, it truly is amazing.
back in early 70's, did a few years on a 95' midwater boat, southern california, southern oregon, a couple deliveries on 80 - 95' fishing boats from yards in Florida and Alabama through panama to LA, hard to keep a camera operating in the salt water environment, awesome to see your vessel flex in big waves, thanks for the time lapse ocean crossing vid. keep up the good work.
what kind of rotation you typically do?? 3 months? 6 months?? how long do you take off?? thanks
6 months a contract, but can extend up to 9-10 months which I do
Entitled to 3 months rest, but i usually take just 2
all because i am rushing to become a maritim pilot! :]
Sweet, thanks

JeffHK how do you get started with a job like this?
JeffHK how do you get your foot in the door
Seas like that made me sleep like a baby when I was in the Navy. Of course I had a bottom rack so I didnt have to worry about falling out
Thank you so much for this insight. A view so rare! Captivating. Thank you!
Some of your videos are just magical.
Jeff: “yep these waves aren’t dangerous for us.”
me: *boat shakes*
“well it was a great life and I accept my death here on this boat”
Right!? He pointed to them saying they were 8-9 meters (24 - 30 feet high), they weren't allowed out b/c it would sweep them away, but he feels they pose no threat. Okie dokie then. haha
If I was on a boat, not even a ship, and that boat was overtly rocking I'd think I was gonna die - simple as that.
@@nanuq83 balls of steel
me : well, this was a mediocre life, I cant accept my death on this boat, but who cares.
When the ship flexes it is not succumbing to the sea. They are built with flex joints so the hard brittle steel doesn't bend and break. It is supposed to flex.
@Semper Fi There was a lot more to it than that
Yes, you are right. I was on 3 Gearing class destroyers in the '66-'72 era and they were about 390' long and had expansion joints at the beam (widest point of the ships, about 40-45 ft wide), heavy rubber joints.
Seeing the ship flex...it reminds me of a tube train as it drives through the London Underground..Amazing.
That movement of the ship! Wow!
