    This tube was called in a days 'Receiver'. It was dirtiest job to do clean it. At this movie seems very clean probably fotage started after cleaner or assistant engineer already cleaned it mostly. I spent many days inside this tube back in my marine days. It took me i think like 16 hours to clean it just with lunch time pause. At sea there was no working hours regulations. Marine time teaches you life. Thanks Chief for insights.

    I enjoy your vlogs. A few years ago I boarded Polsteam Drawsko in Burns Harbour as a passenger. The crew were very friendly during the 4 weeks I was aboard on the way to Bari, Italy via Duluth. The crew told me that the Chief is the most important officer aboard (more than the Captain!).

    Another outstanding video Chief Makoi, thanks. You have again provided a great video of critical shipboard maintenance evolutions in-port. Very nicely composed, photographed and edited presentation. For young engineers, this is the true test of grit, skill and determination to their chosen career. You are not missing anything in the Port of Jeddah. I have been there several times on military RORO vessels. In each case we were restricted to the piers for our own safety. The locals don’t present the welcome mat! Safe journeys. Carry on!

      You might also enjoy the UA-cam channel on the Battleship New Jersey, which is now a museum. Today, I (and a few thousand others) accompanied the curator, Ryan, into the very bottom level of the ship (the seventh), with fascinating commentary along the way. All this so that we could see the keel.

    Chief ever thought about showing how the pistons are checked for pressure for piston pressure efficiency, another suggestion is show pulling a piston. Scavenge cleaning. Fuel and Lube oil purifiers, compressors just to name a few.

    I knew a lot of people in the US navy, that works in the engineering department, every time the ship goes on deployment they’re the first one in and last one to leave. And on top that they’re required to have 2 person on watch 24/7, whenever they pulled in at the port. Their job is not a cakewalk

    Seeing the up close and personal inside the engine cavity brought back something video just can't relate - the smell. The odor of the oil and all the components that get suffused in it over time came rushing back as I watched. Memories of hard, satisfying work in a very similar environment.

    Cleaning the sludge out of a scavenger was the only time I worked in an engine room, I was a galley boy at the time and was the only crew member that could fit in this particular scavenger, all the rest were done by the ER crew.
    The Chief Engineer did buy me a case of beer for my efforts. This was back in the 70’s when health and safety wasn’t as bigger thing as it is these days.
    They were really happy days, thanks for the memories chief👍🏻
