I appreciate the video. People don't realize the amount of components needed to run a ship that size. Also amazed at how clean the ship was kept! Thank You for your great service. Tim in Kentucky
Excellent video, yes, but the background music was a bit overpowering. You don't need it, and it took away from the video IMHO. Glad to see that in recent videos, this channel does not have that background music - that is more foreground then it is background. All you need to hear, are the lovely engine room sounds in a video like this. ;)
As an ex-Marine Engineer starting as a cadet and all the way up to 1st Class Certificate and 2nd Engineering Officer before coming ashore; I enjoyed the memories this video brought back. Of all the careers (two lol) I had before retiring, my seagoing one is the one I miss most. The first indication of how well run a vessel is; is the cleanliness; and this engineroom shines!
@@ChiefMAKOi Chief Makoi; I always wondered this while looking at the engine compartments of container ships, and I think I just came to a realization: Are the engine rooms painted all white so that you can see a leak quicker?
I operated and maintained High Pressure Boilers on the USS Anchorage back in the 70's. I wish we had that much room. It's a clean engineering space. Impressive. You said you were on your way to the Bering Sea. You must be headed to Dutch Harbor. I lived there for 5 years working construction. Pile-Drivers and Divers union.
Beautiful engine area. It would take a career to learn what everything is, how it works, what it does and how it effects ship productivity. I can't imagine how to keep it all running. Great job! Truly amazing.
That's amazing, I own a 40 ft 15-ton commercial fishing vessel with a 653 Detriot Diesel, so that's my frame of reference. I understand the mechanical systems but I can't get over their size. That turbo must push an insane volume of air. Thanks for the tour it looks ship-shape.
You, your crew and your ship owners take fine care of the vessel. All those pumps, seals, valves and tanks and no leaks. And no rust at sea. That is pride, competence and hard work. Thanks for the tour.
As an old US Navy Machinist Mate(Hole Snipe) I'm impressed by the cleanliness of your engineering spaces. We spent a lot of time cleaning and painting during off watch hours to keep ours that clean.
We had a large crew in our "M" Division on board. We were on an old 1939 cargo ship that was converted to a repair ship. We had 450 psi super heat steam @ 859* F and a geared turbine set with a single screw. I was a throttle man. So there was a lot of busy work for us. Our engine and boiler room was in the same space. We kept the whole area cleaned and painted as nicely as yours was. I only saw 6 or so men in your control room. Were there more than that? I served on that ship in 1963-1965.
We had 4-5 men on 4 hour on and 8 hour off watches 24/7 at sea. and 2 on watch 24/7 in port. Plus the boiler tenders had 4-6 on watch at sea and 1-2 on watch in port plus an electricians Mate monitoring our main electrical board. As a repair ship we had two boilers, and three steam turbo generators that were 1000 volt D.C. and 1300 amps each, and at least one was lit off in port 24/7. All three were lit off at sea. We had 2 triple effect distillation units in a separate compartment with two men on watch and we could make 72,000 gallons of potable or boiler water every 24 hours. Our flank speed was 23 knots. Our best speed with regard to fuel consumption was 15 knots . There were also other electrical generators in other compartments for A.C. power. We had repair shops to repair almost anything that didn't require dry docking, plus an optical lab, and a dentist and Medical Doctor. on board with a 10 bed hospital. I believe there were 350-500 men on board at any time....the engineer spaces weren't Air conditioned and in August of 1964 in the South China sea, the ambient temperature on deck was 110* F. In the engine room the temperature was 120 to 140 degrees "F" My pay rate was $120 per/Month. It was one of the best times of my life as a 19 year old kid.
Impressively clean ER! Interesting to see an ER of a two-stroke! I only worked with a four-stroke, where the whole ER is much more compact. Thanks for the video. Keep up the excellent work, Chief!
Thank you. It's very nice to see a chief engineer of a cargo ship talk us through the marvel of machines you keep running. Nearly all we buy at some point had to voyage the seas.
Tidy... I used to be a Chief on Semi Submersible Drilling Rigs and we had no requirement for a huge main Engine but all the Auxiliary Engines and equipment I saw here reminded me of my days offshore, it was always enjoyable and interesting. The routine is something that kept you going, and the inevitable maintenance, trouble shooting and repairs made the days fly by. Nice Video.
Best video of this type I have seen. As a retired engineer it gave me an insight as to how things have progressed since I left. Nice voice over the cacophony of the engine room sounds. You keep the piece of equipment in shot just long enough. Well done.
Please tell me that there are some things in there that you would just say “I have no idea what that does!” I can’t imagine knowing all of that! Major props!
Now i know what engine room looks like. 😊 my boyfriend used to watch your videos Sir. He is currently on his apprenticeship traveling from Iran to China. Pinoy din po. Gusto niya rin maging Chief Engr kagaya po ninyo 😊 very helpful po mga videos niyo lalong lalo na sa mga nag uumpisa din 😊
extremely interesting - my career experience in transportation was airplanes and Big trucks but I always had a longing for the seafaring life. GREAT channel, keep'm comming.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce and publish your videos. For me, this is one of the most interesting channels to watch. Congratulations on running such a tight ship.
Awesome tour Chief. Outstanding cleanleness and neatness. You should be proud of your department. The painting makes the area very clean looking. Be safe and thanks for sharing
Ayye Chief !! This was by far the best video in the channel, although I met It 2 days ago 😁. I am a Brazilian 3rd Engineer, and I've been struggling to get my first contract here, more exactly, since 2016 😔. This video reminded me of how beautiful the profession is, and so I won't give up! See ya.
Thanks for a great video. I am not a real seaman but have fiddled with all kind of engines for decades and am a son of an old engineer who sailed in the sixties. So of course i grew up on a lot of interesting stories, and has also done some computer-related work on a few ships. The most fun were always when work had to be done in the engine room. Thanks again from the west coast of Sweden. I can´t get enough of videos like this. :)
I would like to pursue this kind of job because it is too stunning and helps a lot our daily life gaining experience day by day .Thanks for this video .It was fantastic and enticed me .
Hi Chief, Please let me ask a noob question. I am not a marine engineer, just a machinery enthusiast with some knowledge from the Neptune ER simulator :) The ship is at sea speed, so the beefy SW, LTFW and main LO pumps are running on top of the rest of ME aux machinery and general baseline loads. Meanwhile a single DG is covering all that at third of its full capacity and I did not see shaft generator. I was thinking cargo ships need at least 2 gensets running when the ME is ready or is running. Maybe bulk carriers have smaller SW and LTFW pumps than the VLCC simulated in the Neptune? Anyway, I highly appreciate your vids, its so satisfying to see real machinery and highly skilled marine engineers keeping them running.
Monitoring parameters-have to do this at the VOA transmitter plant. Always have had a fascination for ship engines,RR engines,gas turbines and aircraft besides the large transmitters I use.
thanks chief for your videos, it's a big help and guide to those cadets special me, I'm one of subscriber that never have an experience on board, more power chief good blessed, and continue your good work,
Excellent video, great engine room - you could eat your dinner off the floor!! Its so much easier to spot a leak in a clean environment and much less of a fire risk too. It always seems strange how the crew change ships frequently - it must be like relearning your job on every new ship?
nice vlog,,,ingat guys//// kwento lng chief MAKOI i remember we sailing coast of Turkey when1 of our wifer died when he fell from top of the engine to d floring...kwawa nga dahil ikakasal n sana RIP crewmates,,d TURKEY coastguard try to save his life ,but he died on a helicopter,
Sana maexperience ko din ganyan ka laki na machinery spaces.. Hirap makasampa pag wla backer.. 😅Lalo na pag di qualified sea service... Tanx xa video sir mackoy.. 😍
this is amazing video i did subscribe to your channel im new to it i'd love to see a oil change on this beast please keep up the amazing videos thank you so much
Great video. Can you make a video of the "business" of a ship: * Cost of a new ship * Cost of yearly maintenance * How long does the ship last for (service life) * When do they know to scrap it, scrap out costs, procedures * How does it get sent for ship breaking in Bangladesh, etc. Thx.
G'day Chief Makoi. Thanks for these videos. I am a junior engineer on a similar tanker to yours. In fact, our engine room, main engine, diesel generators, and overall equipment look exactly the same, which makes me think it's a sister ship to yours. I've been on the ship for just over 4 weeks, and the learning curve has been daunting and extremely steep. I would love to hear how you felt at the early stages of your career and what advices you'd have for someone like me taking their first steps into the marine engineering environment. Please, message here, but I would also be happy to exchange contacts and would greatly appreciate your insights. Thanks again and keep up the brilliant work! Cheers!
Nuclear power is not the answer for much larger 2 million ton sized ships but I feel diesel propulsion has reached its maximum scale of efficiency limits. A fundamental new system of converting energy and power is needed but I can't think of what will allow marine architects to break through that 2 million ton limit for ships. These much larger new ships only have to have a maximum speed of 6 knots. Speed is not needed for such big ships.
The operating manuals for the machinery you are in charge of must be thousands of pages, many books? If something breaks at sea are you in charge of fixing it? On an older ship I would guess with so many things to break you would always be fixing something? Thanks.
GREAT video! How loud is it in engine room? I do a lot of ship watching on the St Lawrence river in New York State.. Ya can hear the pounding of the engines from a mile away😊
Very Clean Engine Room. How old is your ship ? Is the Boiler Water Tube type ? Is it used to generate steam for the Auxiliary Equipment and Generators while docked and if there is no shore power ?
Congratulations for keeping the engine room so clean and tidy.

Thanks! A simple rule we follow is to clean the workplace up immediately after jobs. We could save a lot of cleaning hours in the long run that way.

Your engine room is an object of beauty! So clean,tools put away-well kept.
Watching this video alone shows just how tight of a ship, but also friendly atmosphere. This is the type of team that goes places.
Nice clean and well maintained engine room... chief you can be proud of your team of mechanics 👍
Chief you do a great job of EXPLAINING. It's got to take YEARS to know what you do ! Love your videos.
You are very Good chief engineer sir
They are lucky who works with you
Impressively clean ER! Interesting to see an ER of a two-stroke! I only worked with a four-stroke, where the whole ER is much more compact. Thanks for the video. Keep up the excellent work, Chief!

Greetings Chief, what a pleasure to do the rounds with you!
The spaces are a reflection of you and the team's professionalism and dedication!
That is a lot of equipment to be responsible for. Thumbs up to you and all your crew.

Immaculate spaces, denotes excellent maintenance practices, very impressive and informative. Great video, as usual. Thanks Chief..
Please tell me that there are some things in there that you would just say “I have no idea what that does!” I can’t imagine knowing all of that! Major props!
Thanks for sharing. It gives some perspective to the sheer immensity and scale of the machinery you work on every day.
The owners of that ship should be grateful to you and the crew for keeping that ship in a high condition of State.
You know that somewhere in the world, there is an eighteen year old right now thinking "how can I get that TURBO fitted on my mini"
ah, you're following Project Binky, I see
Amazed at how clean and organized it is
Now i know what engine room looks like. 😊 my boyfriend used to watch your videos Sir. He is currently on his apprenticeship traveling from Iran to China. Pinoy din po. Gusto niya rin maging Chief Engr kagaya po ninyo 😊 very helpful po mga videos niyo lalong lalo na sa mga nag uumpisa din 😊
Thanks for watching!
Please stay Loyal while your BF is at sea.
😎
When everything in the engine room is running well, happy ship´s crew and happier ship´s captain...
What's up! I've come back here for more! It's elegant! Magnificient. Nice patching. Good luck
extremely interesting - my career experience in transportation was airplanes and Big trucks but I always had a longing for the seafaring life. GREAT channel, keep'm comming.
You could eat off those floors. I bet you and the crew are proud of that ship.
Makoi you are worth every cent they pay you, the systems are wide and complex
Nicely kept engineroom, Chief! A dose of nostalgia for me - recognised everything even though I left the sea in 86...
Thanks! It's very important to keep things in shape with Port State Control being strict in enforcing rules nowadays.
Wow, that is a really complicated engine room. Thanks for showing us around!
Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce and publish your videos. For me, this is one of the most interesting channels to watch. Congratulations on running such a tight ship.
Very nice and clean , please post more videos while overhauling machineries
Spotless! Outstanding!
I salute you chief.. Thanks for the vlog

Chief MAKOi hello sir how job scope nowadays in this shipping field especially engine side
Chief MAKOi pls reply ASAP
Instead of music would love to listen to these magnificent engines,motors and equipment working! Love the sounds of equipment!
The nicest quietest ER I ever worked in was a Westinghouse turbo-electric T2 tanker built in 1946.
G'day Chief, that is a very well run ship. A create to you and the Crew.
I would like to pursue this kind of job because it is too stunning and helps a lot our daily life gaining experience day by day .Thanks for this video .It was fantastic and enticed me .
Thanks for watching!
It brings back memories. I miss it.

Very good explaining sir you are number 1 chief engineer thank you and god bless you ❤️
@lmost all ship engine rooms are so clean you could eat off of them ! Guess crew has to be on the ball !
Thank you so much for showing the engine room. Everything is so clean pristine how do you keep everything so clean must take a lot of work
Congratulations! Engine room clean !
Picture perfectly clean engine room! Thanks for excellent tour!
Monitoring parameters-have to do this at the VOA transmitter plant. Always have had a fascination for ship engines,RR engines,gas turbines and aircraft besides the large transmitters I use.
So complicated to make propellers turn and ship go! Wow! 😃
clean, very very clean. my first ever comment on youtube...and been watching for years
Thanks James!
Thanks a lot sir. I learn whats look like boiler .. because on my last ship in inter island we have no boiler ...
thanks chief for your videos, it's a big help and guide to those cadets special me, I'm one of subscriber that never have an experience on board, more power chief good blessed, and continue your good work,

As an inspired Engine Cadet Sir thank you so much may natutunan ako sa mga videos mo 😊 God Bless Sir
My Maritime English professor used this video in one of his classes! :)
So cool to see this Thanks I’d never know with out this video. Appreciate that .
Your engine room looks exactly like my previous vessel sir, MV Ultra B-------, all positions of machineries are exactly the same
Engine room is serious business!
Sana maexperience ko din ganyan ka laki na machinery spaces.. Hirap makasampa pag wla backer.. 😅Lalo na pag di qualified sea service...
Tanx xa video sir mackoy.. 😍
Chief very nice E/R well maintained
chief gawa ka nang video pra sa isang job interview para sa aming mga kadete.. Thanks.
this is amazing video i did subscribe to your channel im new to it i'd love to see a oil change on this beast please keep up the amazing videos thank you so much
Love this video Chief
Unbelievable!! I'm flabbergasted!! It's HUUUGE!!! How do you keep it all so clean? Is the air filtered to keep out the dirt and dust?
Thank you so much for the Engine Room video.
Thanks again.
Very helpful video for students thank you! More power and bon voyage!
Great video. Can you make a video of the "business" of a ship: * Cost of a new ship * Cost of yearly maintenance * How long does the ship last for (service life) * When do they know to scrap it, scrap out costs, procedures * How does it get sent for ship breaking in Bangladesh, etc. Thx.
Thanks for the idea!
Hi. Don't know if you have already done a video on crew accommodation but if not it would be nice to see this on a ship of this size 👍
Ur ship is clean ✌️☺️
Very good chief...i wish someday i can get work on board as a machine fitter.
Good stuff! Time for the big fella to have a feed after doing his rounds ay! :)
thanks for this video
thank u sir giving good knowledge to freshers
U should take a thermometer with you. I'm curious how how/cold it gets where u work in whatever seas
Great tour! Regards from one seaman💪💪
Pangarap ko talaga to. Kaya lang di pa pinalad ngayun na makasampa abroad
lupit mo sir hepe na seaman vlogger pahhh salute
Simly amazing.
great job!
G'day Chief Makoi. Thanks for these videos.
I am a junior engineer on a similar tanker to yours. In fact, our engine room, main engine, diesel generators, and overall equipment look exactly the same, which makes me think it's a sister ship to yours.
I've been on the ship for just over 4 weeks, and the learning curve has been daunting and extremely steep.
I would love to hear how you felt at the early stages of your career and what advices you'd have for someone like me taking their first steps into the marine engineering environment.
Please, message here, but I would also be happy to exchange contacts and would greatly appreciate your insights.

Thats the biggest Turbo Charger ive seen!
amazingly impressive
Sir mukhang sariwa pa ang barko nyo. No oil leaks and fresh paints on steam pipe insulation, bulk head and machineries. Good maintenance keeping
+Honda 97 2013 built.
Think you sir may mga totohan ako sa mga vlag mo abou part ng barko..😊
Very Clean Engine Room. How old is your ship ? Is the Boiler Water Tube type ? Is it used to generate steam for the Auxiliary Equipment and Generators while docked and if there is no shore power ?
