I will never be a seafarer, but I actually enjoy your tutorial videos. I learn quite a lot. Your style of presentation and mannerism also adds value to the quality of the tutorials. I respect the marine industry a whole lot more as a result. Thank you.
@@Glostahdude I'm gonna tell you I have classmates in my class for Marine Engineering, one Is 47 the other is 52. So it's not too late. I am 7 years out of highschool
I'm never going to work on a ship either. I just enjoy watching videos without being bombarded by politics. If this were a documentary on American TV, even a documentary about resupplying ships, somehow they would squeeze in political propaganda. It would be an hour long with 50 minutes talking about climate change, trans rights, and diversity in the shipping industry. It is so nice to just relax and be entertained and not think about politics.
In my U.S. Naval career (CTF-77 Pac Fleet) the one basic commandment is: "Chiefs run the Navy" and now I know that the same is true of the Merchant Fleet! Thank you Chief Makoi , Fair Winds and Following Seas for all you do.
Safe journey to Brazil Chef! For people not familiar with Suez, at 0:59 on the left you can see the headquarter of Suez Canal management Greetings from a drydock!
"Just" is a right word for that, for ship that big 100 tons of MGO is such a small amount, enough for just 3-4 days (not really enough for full 4 days), which is almost negligible considering how long ship travels through sea without refueling.
I’m new to this channel and I find this excruciatingly interesting. This is why I love UA-cam. You never know what’s going to spark the imagination. Great quality videos too! I love the attention to the maps, geography, schedules , protocols, processes,and machinery. All of this really appeals to me for some reason. I wish I were a younger man.
The life of seafarers is so hard sometimes the bunkering stores spare one at a time and time limited only during operation the most important to manage and safety operations at all times
Hello Chief. I am a retired police captain from Albany Ny. I teach college now online. First let me say I pray for your and your crew mates’ safety. Second I find, because Albany ny is a deep water port, great interest in your life on ship. My great uncle was a first mate on a Sucony (now Mobil) tanker during WWII AND THE 50s and I remember the tanker tour. Old fashioned diesels and the smell of bunker oil. You have matured as a video artist with your natural talent and your willingness to learn. Stay safe, so many of us vicariously work and play around the world with you. John.
I just want to say, that you really are a shining example of leadership and caring for your crew! 🙂 If all leaders would share this characteristic, I believe we would have a lot fewer lives (and limbs) lost due to working accidents. Safe voyages to you!
Another great video. Your comments about watch management are spot on. I remember being relieved from the mid-watch at 0415. Trying to get some rest only to go back to the bridge for refueling. No rest. Breakfast at 0600. Provisions coming in at 0700. No rest. Back on watch at 1145. You start to see things that don't exist and you don't see things that do exist. Very dangerous.
Awesome episode, greatly appreciated. The life of a sailor waiting for the Ship Chandler to arrive. Galunggong Adobo for breakfast. Gee-gee, the fish of champions.
Nice video MAKOi! But I must ask, is it often happening that you go without cargo from Saudi to South America? Not an economical tour and the income !?Just a reflektion! Barbro Sweden
If possible they will try to take a load. But it will often be too much of a hassle to load, sail and then discharge cargo. If they are going to load a grain or another food product the cargo hold needs to be certified as clean. So it would be extra work for a ship to take grain one way, and say, scrap metal another way having to clean the hold out and get it re certified.
Well as I remember i never herd that my father was aboard a boat that was sailing empty. Even during the late 1940-ties after the war they was shipping papermass for newspaper and diesel for the wahle kockership up in the farnorth. He was in the Swedishfleet during ww2 patroling the Northsee barrier and protect the convojs to America ! He was in NewYork at the war end at Manhattan! Chief Maikos videos is among the best on the You Tube ! Barbro Sweden
@@barbroevanderlindquist4128 bulk ships along with tanker's commonly sail empty to return for another load of cargo. With bulk loading, it's important the hold is clean and cross contamination won't happen with sensitive loads. You wouldn't want a crude oil tanker to load refined oils and fuels without cleaning the holds, so it's easier and cheaper to only carry crude.
I am also a aspiring seafarer I always love to watch you videos chief I learned a lot of stuff especially in your videos related to Marine Engineering hoping and praying I will be just like you in the future God bless sir🙂
Thank you for sharing a look at a part of the world we wouldn't get to see otherwise! Perhaps Starlink will be the answer to internet issues, at least during calm seas.
You guys should talk to SpaceX and get some high speed starlink internet onboard. They just requested permission to test starlink on 10 sea faring vessels. Maybe a marine trial of the "Better than nothing beta" is in order.
@@solonyetski 1% fatality rate doesn't sound too bad unless it's incredibly contagious. People like to compare covid to the common cold or flu, but the flu has like a 0.022% fatality rate, which means covid is 50 times more likely to kill you. And several hundred times more likely to leave long lasting to permanent damage to your body, judging by statistics.
@@Sinyao that point is moot because there are already cures and simple preventions for it. It’s mostly, in general, the fault of the governments and the shmucks who follow their every command that they refuse to take the necessary actions and end up dying from it. Besides, people die all the time and you don’t give an f about it, but since the media tells you to be afraid of this, now every death matters and self-flagellation must be performed by everyone. Also, the statistics aren’t exactly accounting for the natural selection of how virusesmutate to become more contagious but less deadly. I will not be convinced on technicalities in a vaccuum.
Mackerel are absolutely delicious when fresh, I love to fry them and serve with tomatoes, onions and dill finished off in the frying pan on top. But I'm pretty sure you Philippino guys have got an even better way to serve mackerel.
@@ChiefMAKOi I smoke makrels myself. I put salt on them and put them away for a day in the fridge. Next day I wash off the salt and hang them to dry in the wind. When dry I smoke them with olivewood. ( i live in Spain with lots of olive trees) Delicious!! I love cold smoked fish too, but I can do that in winter only when outside temperature is low enough. Good appetite!
Dear Chief MAKOi, i like to see your video's because i am also a seafarer but i saw something in the video but i don't know of you knew it. because all the time you blur the name of the ship but there is a moment where you can see the name off the ship.
Thks for another great episode CHIEF... Has been a glad surprise to me that you reached my country, Spain. In fact, I lived in Ceuta 30 years ago, while doing the mandatory military service. Great and hard memories, both. THKS for sharing with us and best wishes from Spain.
Chief Makoi seems like suck a nice guy. For some reason I imagine him machine gunning pirates with a smile and explaining it with the same calm voice "Sometime pirates try to hijack your ship..." (Blood and bodies everywhere).
Thank you Chief, for this insight into life aboard. Your crew are very fortunate to have you looking out for them and taking care of their fatigue levels and above all safety. Not everyone cares as you clearly do.
"Chiefs" in general requires organization and an excellent control of the logistics of the ship. Everything is under control over the ship´s schedule in each port visited. Nice job!
2021-03-18 , kl. 02 (UTC+1) Dear Motor 2 of 7. Well. That is what you call a pleasure craft. Poor people sail in small boats. For example s/y Ofelia with fabric propulsion system. Sometimes with diesel propulsion. 5,5 knots. Consume 1,5 liter fuel per hour. Penta Two cylinder. 0,8 litres. (Such tiny things Chief never heard of?)

For Chief and You others i tell that I did know a danish kaptain. (Retired from Maersk) His first six years, age 14 to 20, he was in the crew in general cargo vessel with only fabric propulsion system. Salt from Europe to New Foundland and fish in barrels back again. Cabriole and the North Atlantic year around. A couple of years ago chief Makoi seems to have passed Trelleborg, southernmost in mad Sweden. On his journey to the Baltic states. You know: Estland, Shetland and Littauen. Greetings Tomas.
Sir, as per UNCLOS it's offence to catch fish when vessel is in territorial water of other states. Am not saying don't catch fish,, just don't post evidence. Enjoy your fresh fish and bon voyage.

My late Father was once a Captain in one of the cargo ships of the Maritime Company of the Philippines. He traveled around the world ....sometimes my mother tagging along. I don't know if that is allowed at present. God bless you in all your endeavors and safe sailing the seven seas.
Hey chef Hello! Can make a video for salaries. I am a student MTME Maritime Transporting and Management Engineer, in Turkey. So I want to know how much money your master gets for month. Thanks a lot.
Is it normal to cruise empty that far (2 weeks) to pick up the next charters freight? How much do you ballast when empty and does it depend on sea states?
Travelled on nearly all vehicles (Airplae, Train, Bus, Car, Boat) but never been on a ship and watching your videos create more and more desire to board on a ship. Hope my dream come true some day.
Hello, Chief, from Mississippi USA! Found your channel while looking for info on stuck ship in Suez Canal. The size of EverGiven got me curious. Your videos are amazing and informative of life on ships. Great music also! Thanks for all you do!
I laughed when you mentioned quantity disputes. I was reminded of a bunkering operation where we suspected that after the dispute was "resolved" with a very testy relief chief and the fuel barge, the barge must have sent us their oily bilge water to make up the difference. Constant filter changing and we set new records for the number of times of purifier breakdown and cleaning. Damn, I miss that life. Have a good watch chief.
👍 interesting if one's is interested in seamen's life. I worked as mechanic in ofsho installation for 10yrs +. So life away from home in long durations living on a metal island is nothing new. But fishing 🎣 on occasion make life livable. Salamat kuya for your familar video.
Another very informative video, I must compliment you on your management style. You display a professional approach, balancing the commercial requirements of the Company, the efficiency and safety of the the ships performance and most importantly the welfare, moral and health of those within your team.
When you do the faq, please, address the safety drills, You have shown them, My question is, if a ship is sinking fast, Mv Arvin comes to mind, is there a lifeboat station general alarm? In the film, we see there were none, weak bell ringing maybe? And the mayday call was incorrect, Mayday, mayday my vessel broken vessel Arvin help. No coordinates given. Is this a general issue or just a crew from a country with substandard crew hiring?
Seven short and then one long or even continuous mean lifeboat station or must points, if fire then instructions given out, when i was at see these drills were every week or at least every two weeks and there were various scenarios to act out. Lowering the boats, putting fires out and rescuing a crew member or a dummy from various areas of the ship. Before leaving sea school every trainee had to carry out fire training and lifeboat training including practicals. Fail these and you did not go to sea. Safety at sea is not a luxury it is a given and only through carrying out drills does it become second nature so if something does happen everyone knows their role.
@@ChiefMAKOi there's a healthy Philippino community here surprisingly if you ever do visit. Wonderful people, wonderful culture. Stay safe in Brazil, assuming you are likely there already!
All that way - Jeddah to Brazil - EMPTY !!! WHAT A WASTE !!!😡 . HOW IS THAT GOING TO SAVE OUR PLANET ? Isn't there a way in which the shipping companies can make this trade more efficient with regards to finding cargo to ship, preferably from the discharging port, or a nearby port, so there is no wastage? Isn't there some sort of global App to expedite this by matching up ships and cargoes? Could bulk carriers have appropriate locking devices installed in their holds, so that they could also take some containers, if a bulk cargo is not available at any time?
I KNOW I would “GET FIRED l” I would build a Fishing PLATFORM on the side of the ship !! Of course it would be adjustable height !! OR a cabin w/a porthole!!!! 🤣😂
EIGHT TONS of lubricating oil! Rather puts things into perspective there, with my (albeit only 17hp) inboard diesel only taking 4.5 litres!! Eight tons would last me a number of lifetimes! :-)
Do you ever 'inherit' a nuckle head as part of your crew? If yes, how do you handle them? Can you immediately fire them? The Marines Merchant system reminds me of the army ,i.e., respect for chain of command being mandatory.
VLSFO is the most commonly use fuel on board. LSMGO on the other hand is use for whenever a ship will call or pass by to DECA or ECA(emission control areas) zone areas, that means ship will have to change over to LSMGO from VLSFO.. after safely passing the emission control areas ship can change back to VLSFO. an example of DECA or ECA areas are Yangtze River of China and Canada Gulf of St. Lawrence all the way to Montreal.
SpaceX StarLink just might make Fleet One obsolete for out at sea broadband internet. No more $50,000 twin satellite tracking antennas. No more monthly bills at $2500. Starlink will make this 10x cheaper and the satellite tracking hardware is also going to be much cheaper. Keep your eyes peeled for it and see if you can convince the ship owners to use it.
This is so pleasant to watch, relaxing . I say that because a while back I picked up a disgusting and possibly dangerous addiction. An addiction populated by creatures so vile and disgusting as to make your typical street junkie seem as pure and trustworthy as your own grandmother. Im speaking about Downton Abbey , of course. Its like Sons of Anarchy ,or , the Shield set in Edwardian times. Finally I broke the destructive habit and have not been back to it. I'll gladly spend me evenings watching the Chief and the rest of the crew toil and moil up and down the worlds oceans and fall asleep feeling happy and, somewhat pure.
I really question how anything gets done at sea with the constantly changing positions. Fogs, winds, other weather its always something and its not like youre the only ship that needs stuff! How are there not hours, days queues for these at sea services CONSTANTLY!?
You liars stop CGI'ing the fish to make it look like you caught 30 fish at once. Lol... are you guys really going to ( or rather did you ) eat those !? Thats pretty awesome and not something I considered as sea life... obviously it makes sense tho
Is the fuel put in a reserve tank until lab tests come back ok? The logistics of ship management looks very complicated. It's scary to think ships depend on suppliers all over the world. I would be anxiety ridden about quality control. Looks like hard work, I hope ship jobs pays a ton of money. Is the crew all men only?
Has your ship ever been questioned about unlicensed fishing in an EEZ? I know it's a common practice for mariners to wet a line but, technically, you could run afoul of national fishing regulations.
It's somewhat fine with the authorities, if fishing was done with lines and only for crew consumption, commercial fishing and the use of nets are a different story.
@@ernestjorda2777 I understand that it's a customarily accepted practice. I once asked about it during a class on UNCLOS and was informed that there was no way it could be considered "fishing activity" under LOS but it struck me when I was sport fishing off Florida and was boarded and inspected by the Marine Patrol and gently counseled that we were using the wrong species (illegal) of fish for bait, just how detailed (petty) fishing regulations can be. It's interesting that in many places sports and commercial fishermen have to follow very detailed regulations about location, sizes, species, methods, etc but crew fishing off that tanker over there: "whatever".
hye chief makoi...its sooo pleasure if you can do about any related documentation need by ship even refueling , repair, booking any many other..its help me as students to improve my knowledge ...thank you very much
I was worried that there was no netting around the supplies on the pallet 😟 . I was also worried about the lack of sleep !!! I was also distressed by the prolonged suffering of the fish that had been caught by the crew. Please would you ask the guys to let them die quickly on the deck before putting them in a container. Thank you.

Enthralling
Aios, marahami fish! ( forgive me my writing I picked up some Tagalog words while at sea...)
The weights are insane. "Just" 100 tons to top off! The ship is so heavy without even including the cargo. Wow.
Ain’t Buoyancy a wonderful thing. In some cases. The ship has to pump in water into ballast tanks to balance the ship’s weight.
"Just" is a right word for that, for ship that big 100 tons of MGO is such a small amount, enough for just 3-4 days (not really enough for full 4 days), which is almost negligible considering how long ship travels through sea without refueling.

Hey chef Hello! Can make a video for salaries. I am a student MTME Maritime Transporting and Management Engineer, in Turkey. So I want to know how much money your master gets for month. Thanks a lot.
Is it normal to cruise empty that far (2 weeks) to pick up the next charters freight? How much do you ballast when empty and does it depend on sea states?
I just found your channel & I find it fascinating. How interesting to get a glimpse into a life so different than my own
Talaf nyan chief sabaw...wow freshy pa tlaga ano...
Npa daan pla kayu dto sa KSA...cool
Travelled on nearly all vehicles (Airplae, Train, Bus, Car, Boat) but never been on a ship and watching your videos create more and more desire to board on a ship. Hope my dream come true some day.
Hello, Chief, from Mississippi USA! Found your channel while looking for info on stuck ship in Suez Canal. The size of EverGiven got me curious. Your videos are amazing and informative of life on ships. Great music also! Thanks for all you do!
I laughed when you mentioned quantity disputes. I was reminded of a bunkering operation where we suspected that after the dispute was "resolved" with a very testy relief chief and the fuel barge, the barge must have sent us their oily bilge water to make up the difference. Constant filter changing and we set new records for the number of times of purifier breakdown and cleaning. Damn, I miss that life. Have a good watch chief.
everyday purifier cleaning. to hell with bunker guys in port elizabeth, south africa
shoutout po chief Yorskie channel ang yt ng mga mayor😊😊😊
👍 interesting if one's is interested in seamen's life. I worked as mechanic in ofsho installation for 10yrs +. So life away from home in long durations living on a metal island is nothing new. But fishing 🎣 on occasion make life livable. Salamat kuya for your familar video.
Another very informative video, I must compliment you on your management style. You display a professional approach, balancing the commercial requirements of the Company, the efficiency and safety of the the ships performance and most importantly the welfare, moral and health of those within your team.
When you do the faq, please, address the safety drills, You have shown them, My question is, if a ship is sinking fast, Mv Arvin comes to mind, is there a lifeboat station general alarm? In the film, we see there were none, weak bell ringing maybe? And the mayday call was incorrect, Mayday, mayday my vessel broken vessel Arvin help. No coordinates given. Is this a general issue or just a crew from a country with substandard crew hiring?
Poor training standards.
Seven short and then one long or even continuous mean lifeboat station or must points, if fire then instructions given out, when i was at see these drills were every week or at least every two weeks and there were various scenarios to act out. Lowering the boats, putting fires out and rescuing a crew member or a dummy from various areas of the ship. Before leaving sea school every trainee had to carry out fire training and lifeboat training including practicals. Fail these and you did not go to sea. Safety at sea is not a luxury it is a given and only through carrying out drills does it become second nature so if something does happen everyone knows their role.
Have you ever ended up in Ireland on your travels Chief??
Not yet. But I sure would love to visit.
@@ChiefMAKOi there's a healthy Philippino community here surprisingly if you ever do visit. Wonderful people, wonderful culture. Stay safe in Brazil, assuming you are likely there already!
Hi Chief . 🇻🇳
All that way - Jeddah to Brazil - EMPTY !!! WHAT A WASTE !!!😡 . HOW IS THAT GOING TO SAVE OUR PLANET ? Isn't there a way in which the shipping companies can make this trade more efficient with regards to finding cargo to ship, preferably from the discharging port, or a nearby port, so there is no wastage? Isn't there some sort of global App to expedite this by matching up ships and cargoes? Could bulk carriers have appropriate locking devices installed in their holds, so that they could also take some containers, if a bulk cargo is not available at any time?
You are coming to Brazil! Awesome! I can't wait for the episode!
I KNOW I would “GET FIRED l” I would build a Fishing PLATFORM on the side of the ship !! Of course it would be adjustable height !!
OR a cabin w/a porthole!!!! 🤣😂
Olá, seria muito bom se você colocasse legenda em português, gosto muito dos seus vídeos, mas não entendo inglês
EIGHT TONS of lubricating oil! Rather puts things into perspective there, with my (albeit only 17hp) inboard diesel only taking 4.5 litres!! Eight tons would last me a number of lifetimes! :-)
2 thumbs up chief
How is all that stuff, food, oil, fuel, etc, paid for. Do you just whip out your VISA card, by check, company billing.... ?
Do you ever 'inherit' a nuckle head as part of your crew? If yes, how do you handle them? Can you immediately fire them? The Marines Merchant system reminds me of the army ,i.e., respect for chain of command being mandatory.
Tut Tut Chief. You forget your responsiblity . Playing with bunkering when the Fish are biting!
How did they taste anyway next morning?
What's the difference between Lsmgo n Vlsfo? Which one is now mostly used?
VLSFO is the most commonly use fuel on board. LSMGO on the other hand is use for whenever a ship will call or pass by to DECA or ECA(emission control areas) zone areas, that means ship will have to change over to LSMGO from VLSFO.. after safely passing the emission control areas ship can change back to VLSFO. an example of DECA or ECA areas are Yangtze River of China and Canada Gulf of St. Lawrence all the way to Montreal.

Chief I am an insobordesant viewer i would not eat. Fish for breakfast .ugly word, I'm from Newport Beach CA. You been to long Beach ⛱
My father is Seeman sailing container ship
SpaceX StarLink just might make Fleet One obsolete for out at sea broadband internet. No more $50,000 twin satellite tracking antennas. No more monthly bills at $2500. Starlink will make this 10x cheaper and the satellite tracking hardware is also going to be much cheaper. Keep your eyes peeled for it and see if you can convince the ship owners to use it.
This is so pleasant to watch, relaxing . I say that because a while back I picked up a disgusting and possibly dangerous addiction. An addiction populated by creatures so vile and disgusting as to make your typical street junkie seem as pure and trustworthy as your own grandmother. Im speaking about Downton Abbey , of course. Its like Sons of Anarchy ,or , the Shield set in Edwardian times. Finally I broke the destructive habit and have not been back to it. I'll gladly spend me evenings watching the Chief and the rest of the crew toil and moil up and down the worlds oceans and fall asleep feeling happy and, somewhat pure.
I wait for your videos every month and here it is,
I really question how anything gets done at sea with the constantly changing positions. Fogs, winds, other weather its always something and its not like youre the only ship that needs stuff! How are there not hours, days queues for these at sea services CONSTANTLY!?
You liars stop CGI'ing the fish to make it look like you caught 30 fish at once. Lol... are you guys really going to ( or rather did you ) eat those !? Thats pretty awesome and not something I considered as sea life... obviously it makes sense tho
Is the fuel put in a reserve tank until lab tests come back ok? The logistics of ship management looks very complicated. It's scary to think ships depend on suppliers all over the world. I would be anxiety ridden about quality control. Looks like hard work, I hope ship jobs pays a ton of money. Is the crew all men only?
hoping Sir that you can film also safety drills on board 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻🙏
I already did that 2 years ago.
Has your ship ever been questioned about unlicensed fishing in an EEZ? I know it's a common practice for mariners to wet a line but, technically, you could run afoul of national fishing regulations.
It's somewhat fine with the authorities, if fishing was done with lines and only for crew consumption, commercial fishing and the use of nets are a different story.
@@ernestjorda2777 I understand that it's a customarily accepted practice. I once asked about it during a class on UNCLOS and was informed that there was no way it could be considered "fishing activity" under LOS but it struck me when I was sport fishing off Florida and was boarded and inspected by the Marine Patrol and gently counseled that we were using the wrong species (illegal) of fish for bait, just how detailed (petty) fishing regulations can be. It's interesting that in many places sports and commercial fishermen have to follow very detailed regulations about location, sizes, species, methods, etc but crew fishing off that tanker over there: "whatever".
Love how you and your team take satisfaction from simple pleasures, such as fresh mackerel.
hye chief makoi...its sooo pleasure if you can do about any related documentation need by ship even refueling , repair, booking any many other..its help me as students to improve my knowledge ...thank you very much
I was worried that there was no netting around the supplies on the pallet 😟 .
I was also worried about the lack of sleep !!!
I was also distressed by the prolonged suffering of the fish that had been caught by the crew. Please would you ask the guys to let them die quickly on the deck before putting them in a container. Thank you.
Ganda ng video salamat sa pagshare
Just been watching a while now great show.You were not doing videos for a bit of time.Good to see your videos again. Your expectations of things is very good thank you..👍🇺🇸
