I was a Marine Engineer during my time at sea and even all those years ago we were expected to hold a certificate one above the position filled. While steam ships were still in the fleet chief engineers were expected to hold both motor and steam certificates.
Same here. Deck cadet last 2015. Graduated 2017, went onboard as Junior 3rd officer last 2018. And now a full fledged 3rd officer finally. Now about to finish my first contract as 3/O. Lot of new experiences. Super blessed to have this opportunity being only 23yrs old. Nice vlog chief! Drone footage was awesome!
I don't know why I cried at the last part of this video. I used to go onboard Chief as a Deck Cadet. I've been on 3 contracts. Yet I decided to stop for a while to think if seafaring is really for me. After watching this video, I found my answer. Thank you Chief!! Have a wonderful career 🙂
Your right on all of that Chief. Two things I will never forget, getting my 3rd Mate rating and later my Unlimited Masters License. The bridge crews of 35 years ago were a lot different than today and frankly not as soft on the newbies. When I showed up the Captain asked who I was and I told him your new 3rd Mate. He never looked at me and told me to go measure the draft. Off I went with my pen and writing pad I did that 6 times, on the 7th time down the Chief Mate stopped me and asked point blank why the hell I was going and coming so damn much. I told him why. He started laughing so hard he bit his cigar into and told me that was his job and not mine. Furious I climbed back to the bridge to give the Captain a piece of my mind, for the first time that day he looked me in the eye and said, "Kid, it's your job to know your responsibilities, your watch starts at 0100." And that was that. Looking back I get the humor of it. You wanted to get angry and sometimes I did, but you learned from it.
Napaka ganda ng pagka Sabi niyo po sir yung " perfect timing at having a patience" 🌱 5 years na po ako graduate ng BSMT Hindi pa po ako naka sampa sana soon Perfect timing
Hey Chief....Landlubber here...The immense responsibility one shoulders when working in a position like JR has got to be very daunting to a young man...God Bless him, and you...
Thanks Chief! My father was a sea man on Bulk Carriers for over ten years, all though I was young and don't remember him being away, these videos give me clear insight into life at sea and I appreciate it very much.
One of the best written and produced videos I've yet seen on UA-cam. You certainly put time, care, and a search for perfection into this work! The content reveals the heart of this noble seafaring profession in a way like none other. Thank you!
@@mod6525 nahh we asians are the best as an officers and specially in management level. You on the other hand, non asians such as your pathetic self is good not only as ratings, but Also as messman .
Chief makoi ur very interesting person to get to know. You are born leader you have the right quality too easy going friendly treating people with respect work oriented person I can say lot of you your face saying everything. I enjoy 😉 watching ur videos.
When I was in elementary school in China, one of my class friend always talked about his big brother, who is the Second Mate ( 二副 ) on a merchant ship. He often talked about his big brother traveled to different countries, well known cities ... at that time China did not have many connections of any kind with the world, his stories inspired a lot of imaginations. One time, he brought a Japanese tape recorder to class, we were all amazed by the thing and he told us his brother bought it in Holland.
Hi Chief MAKOi, What you say about studying, planning, working toward, and, if needed, sacrificing to reach your goals is true for ALL walks of life. It's clear, sound advice for Everyone. Thank you for all the thought and hard work put into your videos.
I am an experienced English teacher and I have found this video very useful for my classes. I teach technical maritme English at a maritime university and my students love watching Chief MAKOI's videos. Thanks, Chief MAKOI
I'm not a seafearer but those words Chief Makoi said about being successful were for all those who works in different industries not only to maritime. Thankyou Chief!
As a cadet, I find this very educational and amusing for I will be recognized next year... Thank you Chief for sharing this kind of experience.. Kudos to you sir.. God bless always sir
im not a sailor....at all.....but i found this channel somehow, and i cant stop watching. I love your videos, you are a true inspiration. Greetings from Denmark.
Great content Chief. Just about to join my first ship as a deck cadet with my best friend tomorrow in Savannah, USA all the way from the UK. Your super high-quality videos like this one provide a great insight into the world we're about to step into. All the best and hope the seas are serving you well.
I'm a technician I work a lot with gmdss equipment. Sometimes I don't know what goes through the minds of sea farerers as they sail across our oceans. With your vlog it helps me to better understand like today I got to understand what a third officer has to go through thank you
Nicely done, salamat po! When I was a Naval officer in the 70s - 80s, we'd laugh at how ratty the merchant ships were, and how it seemed no one was on watch. Several times if we hadn't changed course we'd have collided with a merchant most likely on "autopilot," at least that's what it seemed like. Nowadays, the merchant fleet has so many beautiful ships, such as the ones you show. And the level of professionalism appears higher than what I experienced in the military. Not a lot, but some. Thanks for this reminder of sea life and a look inside what the merchant marine is like in modern times.
Another great and inspirational Vlog CHIEF... Even when some of us are not seafarers, the way you show daily life at sea make easy to understand how hard is your job and how proud your beloved must be. Thks for sharing. Regards from Spain...
FINALLY MY VLOG KA ULIT IDOL CHIEF MAKOI MY FAVORITE SEAFARER'S VLOGGER.KEEP IT UP CHIEF MAKOI NAKAKA-INSPIRE TALAGA MAGING ISANG CADETE NG PMMA AT MAGING SUCCESSFUL SEAFARER SOMEDAY.
I will be joining as 3rd Officer on my next vessel assignment that's why I'm here, the pressure is lingering pero kakayanin! Thank you Chief for the insight!
Congratulations to the young man who took over has 3rd Mate - well done son, have a long and interesting life at sea. I came ashore back in 2000 after some 37 years at sea on various ships, have fun!
As an aspiring deck officer, this video gives me a lot motivation for me to cope up to the situation and duties aboard the vessel. Thankyou for uploading sir! Salute!
Thanks for this video . My Uncle William was a third mate on a US merchant marine ship during World war 2. Unfortunately his oil tanker was sunk by a German submarine in the north Atlantic with all hands lost. I wondered what he did on his ship.
Howdy from Sacramento, Chief! I'm glad I found your vlog. I'm a landlubber, but it sure is interesting to learn about your work. Your vids are clear and well presented. Subscribed!
Great video, your a very good videographer. Love what your doing with the career path videos. I'm a retired Marine Inspector/Port State Control Officer, I have nothing but respect for what you do.
this is very informative Chief thank you for this video,i will surely share this to my husband because he is also dreaming to become a 3rd officer someday,i know in God's time this will come but for the moment he must continue his hardwork and studies on board what he should learn more..hopefully this video will inspire his eagerness to continue his dream..Godbless your family and your vlog!🙏
I’m glad I found this channel. Great content. I’m the same age as the third mate in the video. It puts a lot into perspective, seeing how much he has accomplished while I am still looking for my future career. I hope it’s not too late for me to start the studies and training to be in his position one day.
Expectations met and exceed as S.O.P. for Chief MAKOi! Good advice and inspiration for young men with dreams Chief. I fortunate are those who have the benefit of a seasoned mentor with the heart to guide them through all the nightmares that will inevitably be part of the of their dreams as well.
Wow. This is an amazing channel. Looks like I am going to have to go and start from the beginning videos and thoroughly enjoy myself with the fascination of the Merchant Marine as I catch up. Thanks!
Chief makoi you are great. You keep us adept with your life on the sea. It's hard. With God's Divine Grace everything will be in place. Keep it up chief. I will always view blog with pmma. Thanks & God bless!....
good morning chief engineer makoi! im a seaman way back then but now a govt employee now in our locality. i admire your skills in blogging about the life, adventure, experiences aboard the ship as well as off duty adventures. they say once a seaman will always a seaman in heart at least, my five years on board a 3 diff. interisland cargo tramping vessel. i enjoy watching your blogs,it's entertaining and educational as well! hope to see more! God Bless!
I have no knowledge about sea duty but I think you wold be a marvelous official Spokesperson for any Shipping company! Your videos, I am sure must be very appealing to young men around the world!
Another GREAT video! What a fine young man, he will go far, the right attitude and temperment along with a lot of drive. He is endowed with "Sticktoitiveness" keep at it and NEVER give up! Thanks again Chief for another inspiring, interesting and uplifting video.
Great video. I sent it to my 20yo nephew. He's still dreaming and doesn't understand that even when you're qualified, it doesn't mean you're going to get the job.
Chief...These videos get better and better. I have bumped along looking at the earlier ones. These videos are good for your company and the industry. Why would anyone go into the Navy when the Merchant Marines offers a better life?
Hey Chief! I really like your videos because it features the reality of what seafaring is. It is very informative specially for me since I was just new in the field. By the way can you make a film featuring the life of an Electrician/ETO on board?
Thank you for this very informative vlog, Chief Makoi! Thirdy na si boyfriend ko, nakakagulat ganyan pala workload nya sa barko wala syang binabanggit masydo haha. Good to know na naglabas kayo ng ganitong vlog. God bless you more po!
Chief, Thanks for showing the 3rd Officer (Mate) position as well as background information and, in part: responsibility, training, experience, timing, flexibility and... patience. Best wishes to you, JR, and the officers and crew. Keith
Outstanding leadership video regardless of which career you want to pursue. When I was in the USN, we used the term "newby" or "noob" too. Those just joining the fleet fresh out of basic or A-school were referred to as "boots", short for boot camp. I never hung around officer country but I knew enough that ensigns, though we were required to salute them were the gophers (go fer this go fer that) of the officer ranks.
Chief, this is a fantastic VLOG . I'm sure that your job is challenging, and yet you produce this interesting, informative, and very slick UA-cam channel in your spare time! I really admire smart, competent people who can do this kind of thing. I'm just a landlubber but the world of shipping is fascinating to me. The young man, J.R., who has advanced to Third Mate, is an inspiration. Thanks so much for this insight into the world of big freakin' ships and the guys who make them work.
Imagine my favorite vlogger heart this comment, how good to be inspired every vlog you exude to us. Iam incoming BSMT and hopefully all your advices and teachings made me a successful Seaman someday🤗God bless you more Chief!!!
Hello Chief. Thanks for another great great video. I would love to see a video that describes those strange marking that run along the hull. Thanks again.
Very interesting , I come from a family of sea farers basically . My brother is a Marine Superintendent , whilst my cousin's are Captains . I was with the airline industry for many years and having said that I have been to The Philippines several times . I used to handle the Marine and Offshore portfolio for the airlines I worked for . My best wishes go out to this 3rd mate all success and hope and pray that he excels in the Marine industry and soon takes charge as Captain .
This is probably the most inspiring video that I have ever seen. I really appropriate theses videos that you put out It gives me a view into a career that I want to pursue later in life.
Hey guys! I hope you like this episode. Don't forget to leave a comment and LIKE!!!
What you really refer to is "the FICKLE FINGER of FATE"

Favorite quote: Perfect timing, or more importantly, having the patience to wait for it. Well said Chief, thank you.
