It’s like climbing down into the aft & forward JP-5 pump room. Except we had to go thru hatches between deck. Start. At the 2nd deck all the way down to the last platform deck. 😅😅😅
Well done! Interesting content with great camera work and editing. Only 3min finished length but I'm sure that 3min is the end result of hours of work. Really enjoyable to watch.
Bahahha nooooo! Believe it or not, these cranes are much younger. You don't have to sacrifice a crew member to electrocution every time you flip the breaker on. Veerryyy niiice 👌👏
It ain't me haha, it's actually adobe stock music. I have just about zero time to write music these days. I get maybe a lick in every couple days, let alone record anything 😩
Awesome.... Saw one similar today here in our small port of Brunswick Ga. with cranes. (thought of you) .. We have a Large Car carrier port. (where the Golden Ray flipped) But the main old port is Bulk... and expanding.... Brunswick Ga. is where the Most Liberty Ships were built during WW2.. You do heights better than me, and I used to climb masts... UM your a little higher....
Phew. Thought for one minute the ladder was going to be on the outside and you had to climb up exposed. Sod that for a game of soldiers. How long, at a time, do you have to spend in the crane loading?
Regarding unloading and loading, there is a stowage plan that is agreed upon by both the chief mate and shoreside ahead of time. Then the hatch boss has the plan in hand when discharging and loading. If anything changes (which it always does), we are notified and we have a cargo program that we plug the changes into to ensure we will maintain vessel stability with the changes. Then we approve, and they carry on
I'll have to do an in-port vs at sea watch layout. When port stays are longer than average, we switch over to in-port watches which are 8 hours on, 16 off. Makes for better sleep so we get some recovery time in mid-voyage
@chairrockfarms1337 Haha we don't get days off. But can get off the vessel when the work day is done. My work day ends at noon (since it starts at midnight).
@@chairrockfarms1337 My watch is 0000-0800, but that doesn't include overtime. 4 hours of overtime usually right after watch. Unfortunately I can't give you any information about DG, nor the cargo we carry. Operational security reasons.

You got your daily dose of exercise Madeline, looks like a fair bit to climb. Cheers

Haha hell yea!
Looks the crane operators seat would be one hell of a ride in a storm at sea! Thanks for the video!!
Haha indeed it would be! We don't go up there while we're at sea unless necessary work needs to be done
No telling where we will find you making things right next, but somebody's got to do it.
😁🙌
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Your cinematography skills are good!
🙌
She can do it all ! Good show Maddie…..not unexpected to anyone who watched you trek the great north on a motorcycle ! …..😊
🙌
Definitely upwardly mobile. Thanks for showing us around.
🙌👍
More "nut and bolts" :-) BTW I just love the smile @ 1:12
😁😁
8 on 16 off is nice. All the best!

Much appreciated!
Beautiful view!
Yes! Best view in the house!
Great show. When you are in the top of the crane, can you feel the motion of the boat gently rocking?
On this ship you feel the ship surging at all times haha. You can feel it while you're in bed even!
Very Cool.
You're giving me flashbacks to us working the cranes on the Moku Pahu 😅

Thanks for the video. Is that you playing the guitar? What song is that? It reminded me of the music during the series FireFly (Sfi-Fi Space Cowboys)
It ain't me haha, it's actually adobe stock music. I have just about zero time to write music these days. I get maybe a lick in every couple days, let alone record anything 😩
かっこいい仕事だ。お身体に気をつけてください。

you're a little

How long, at a time, do you have to spend in the crane loading?
The longshoremen do the loading/unloading, and the operator is up there for ~3 hours at a time
Is the crane used to open the hatches; does that vary from ship to ship? Who on the crew makes sure the longshoremen take the right stuff?
I'll direct you first to my info video on opening hatches: ua-cam.com/video/6v2bzCKRlHA/v-deo.html

Thanks. Looks like, on this ship anyway, the crane isn't used to open the hatches.
@@OldePete Correct, different on other ships.
Man your new ship is rusty. Going for a paint job soon?
Haha she is, but I've seen worse! Her bones are good. She's headed to the Singapore shipyard in September so they'll fix her up nice 👍
I thought you had the 12-4 watch. Is this overtime?

@@m.leinewolczko Thanks, and time for hitting the yacht club for some sailing! Do you get any "weekends "off while in extended port stays?
@chairrockfarms1337 Haha we don't get days off. But can get off the vessel when the work day is done. My work day ends at noon (since it starts at midnight).
@@m.leinewolczko You are confusing me, that is 12 hours on, not 8? Are there many other merchant ships in DG? Do you carry reefer units?
