    Jeff, you are a breath of fresh air on these types of videos. I have been trying to learn things about shipping for weeks now, but NOBODY gives the information as clear and as simple as 'you' do.
    Thank you.

      JeffHK will you have a video about Somalia? I mean, the phrase “Somali Pirate” is in the American lexicon.

    Hey it's been a while since your last episode! I'm a Chief Engineer and I also have my own channel for Seaman Vlogs. Although my topics are more on the lifestyle side like shore leave adventures but I do post a few job-related videos once in a while. I just finished a 7 month contract onboard and now I'm on my vacation. I'm glad you're back!

    My interests are in photos, shipping. I am a volunteer running a mission to seafarers when they come in on a boat from the docks, they have an area where they can come and relax have refreshments, watch television,, read some papers and use the computer. This is a great video.

  • @Naviss

  • @osiris8637
    @osiris8637 6 лет назад +1

    I have to say, I found your channel through a friend who shared your 30-day time lapse and he used to be a submariner in the Royal Navy and I’m so glad that I found your channel since then, I don’t think I’ll ever work in the maritime industry but there will always be some attraction to me, maybe because my Grandad was also in the Merchant Navy many, many years ago. I never thought I’d find all this stuff so interesting but it seriously is to me, I just wish I could get out to sea a lot more (only been out once as a child!)

  • @АлесейСкороваров

  • @nicklasvedin
    @nicklasvedin 4 года назад +13

    Very informative and entertaining video! As a fan of automated mooring, I would just like to point out that the MoorMaster system featured 35s into the video actually handles tide and waves better than ropes, keeping the vessel more stable while also mooring in less than 30 seconds at the push of a button. If anyone wants to know more, feel free to reach out!

    • @nicklasvedin
      @nicklasvedin 4 года назад +5

      The system of mooring robots attach with vacuum pads to the hull and control the position of the vessel with hydraulic actuation. By controlling the forces in surge and sway while letting the vessel float freely in heave, the system is subject to less forces than if there were ropes and the advanced control system keeps the vessel stable.

    • @nicklasvedin
      @nicklasvedin 4 года назад +5

      The system also moors the vessel in less than 30 seconds and releases in 15 seconds (compared to somewhere around 20 minutes to moor the ship with mooring lines) at the push of a button. In this way, the system also keeps everyone safe, eliminating snap-back zones.

    • @nicklasvedin
      @nicklasvedin 4 года назад +5

      On a side-note: really love the memes :-)

    • @nicklasvedin

    Hey jeff!! i'm an apprentice deck cadet and your video has been really motivation, assisting with mooring operations is one of my weak areas, when ever the officers give me a chance to over see the mooring at the aft station i get a bit intimidated and loose my cool, but i'm definitely working on it so i'm looking to improve on it really soon
    Cheers!! :-)

      Hi Doctor Ive had this mole on my butt for the past 3 1/2 years that is 1 cm in diameter and 2 cm of width. Its dark brown and the borders are curvy. I stay out in the sun all day and Ive had my tonsils taken out when I was a kid and I think that mayeb related. I smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day and have type 2 diabetes. Do you think you could tell me why I feel so depressed lately, I think some hydrocodone would help me.

    • @BABYSDOC_MOBILE_YOUTUBER
      @BABYSDOC_MOBILE_YOUTUBER 6 лет назад +5

      For Comment Purposes A thick and dark yellow phlegm may be a sign of a viral or bacterial infection, sinus infection, or lower respiratory tract infection. Typically, this occurs when the immune system sends white blood cells, known as neutrophils, to the area of infection. These cells contain a green protein, which, when present in large quantities, turn the mucus into a greenish hue.

    JeffHK - these are great! I know you don't get to see a lot of it, but I'd be curious how terminal ops work - once the can is off the boat, the stacking, out gate, etc - also what's the differences between automated and non-automated ports with regard to turn time and speed.
