I served on a WW2 LST (Landing Ship, Tank) in the western Pacific back in the 1960's, it was 99 X 15 meters (326 ft X 50 ft.), with a crew of 100. Our berthing compartment was 2.73 meters by 6.07 meters (9 X 20 ft.) and had 5 stacks of 3 bunks for 15 men, right underneath the main deck. Living and working conditions were HELLISH in the tropics, food was poor, water tasted like it came from a public swimming pool, but the thing that made it bearable was the constant adventure of moving from obscure port to obscure port (and some really cool ones) and getting onshore liberty almost everywhere we went as we were a working ship and always busy. Comparing my LST to your ship would be like comparing a row boat to a yacht. Very impressive vessel and very interesting tour and channel...cheers and a hearty thanks to your company for permitting you to make these videos.
On the downside, it looks like modern mariners go onshore less often that they used to do. Modern ports are often far from anything, and all these security areas ... Am I right ?
As a Maersk colleague who works in HQ I really enjoyed this tour. Thank you! It’s good to see that the company takes good care of our crews. I hope someday to get a chance to come onboard one of these vessels in real life 😊
My husband is also a 3rd Officer for Maersk, and although he tells me many stories and shares pictures while he’s onboard, it was very comforting and informative to me to see this much detail in your tour. Thank you for this video.
I understand that ships are regularly inspected for maintaining this super housekeeping. I think it gets inspected upon entering home port, by either the Coast Guard, or Customs or port authority. 🤔
As a communication technician I've been on plenty of commercial vessels, like to thank the crews from all those different nationalities for your help and support. I honor your amazingly difficult job and being away from your families.
What kind of communication tech were you? I worked for a couple of big phone companies as a tech for many years. I did installation and repair of inside and outside plant, and also as a cable splicer. I wonder if any of my skills would help in here. I have only minor experience as central office needs, most of my work was outside plant. This looks like a great ship and is well fitted out.
Wow - the facilities on this ship are fantastic - so many unexpected areas. I can't believe there's a basketball court and a cinema onboard - it's like a cruise ship!
Hey question for you... I have a container on the memphis heading to houston. Where do I go to retrieve my cargo? My girl in china is either dumb as a stump or not too helpful.
Thanks for your tour Karanvir. Pre-covid I was a paid passenger on a similar freight ship from Philadelphia to Melbourne (30 days via Panama canal and Pacific). It was much as you showed. I have great memories from that trip. An experience I would recommend to any traveller once in their lives.
@@michaelchristian1343 I booked online as their are travel agents who specialize in such travel and there are a few shipping companies that have unused rooms. I had the 4th Engineer cabin. There was only one other passenger that trip. There are also blogs and forums where similar travellers post their experiences and tips. These ships can take you pretty well all over the globe...as long as you don't mind slow travel.
I sailed shell tankers in the sixties/seventies. The largest being the 200,000 ton M-boats. Interesting seeing how the crew accommodation has improved. The cabins on the M- boats of the late sixties were very good, separate cabin with bathroom, day bed and writing bureau. In its day pretty good…it’s a very long time since I’ve heard the nautical terms ..ie: Monkey island etc,…great, wonderful days of my youth
The Suez Canal, I can smell the air and warmth now. I remember sailing through there and it stuck with me since then. I miss sailing the oceans and seas. Ships are amazing.
Thank you very much Karanvir for taking the time to produce your video content. Having worked in the maritime industry for years I really appreciate every video you make.
Well done! It was really great to take your tour and see all the accommodations and work areas. You are a great young gentleman, and I thoroughly enjoyed your tour!
Karanvir you deserve to have the support that you do, well done!! Many safe travels to you and the rest of the Crew... Very informative and the manner you explain each Deck as you take us through your tour is proof that you are doing a job you love and you are where you need to be...
Entertainment deck is essential for sailors as being on a ship for months is not an easy task. They need some things for entertainment. My favorite part of the video is the C Deck tour and I also become a kid when I see the games. And good to see that you are now at home. 😊😊
What a lovely ship. It looks like they take good care of their crew. I have immense respect for those who put out to sea. I keep you all in my prayers and I wish you calm seas and good fortune 🌹⚓
I have just found your channel and as a regular “cruise person” find the details on a working ship very interesting. It’s very clean and organised, very professional and I would be happy to be aboard. I have plenty of your videos to look at now, appreciate your work and time, cheers from Sydney, AU.
I am only a third of the way through this video and this is probably your most informative one yet! I can't wait to watch the rest of it tomorrow but it is 00:42 AM in Los Angeles and I must go to bed now! Cheers Karanvir and glad you are home and getting some rest!
Had always wondered how the crew slept, ate, etc. on these large cargo container ships. I figured you had basic berthing quarters but didn't realize it was more or less a small apartment complex with everything you'd need - though for the lengths of time you're at sea, it only makes sense ;). Great video!
You’ve chosen a great career like my husband. Save your money. Don’t let it go to your head or show off- be smart! You’ll thank yourself later much more. Unfortunately, there is little to no family time. So try to put off marriage & children. It’s way tough as a marine wife until retirement.
I served on the British pride a BP tanker in the 1970s.the biggest tanker Britain had . Our accommodation was out of this world compared with other ships at that time . I was 16 . At 16 it was amazing for me . I've had a fab life .
This is what i've been waiting for , now i can design the interior of my triple in a game :D you really spent yout precious time for the entertainment of us thx for that , awesome video as always
@@abhirajsingh4734 So first of all , I want to make somethings clear. 1) This is NOT my game that im developing or i own , the game is still in developmeny and this is a simulator integrated onto a platform called Roblox. 2) If you are thinking , this sim is unrealistic or unprofessional just because its in Roblox , thats not true at all . this sim here has really good models of all the ship sizes and types and these are about 70% well made as the devs revampe them every now and then. 3) the features inside the game are pretty less if you compare it with other ship sims but as i said its still in development so i think we should give the devloper a chance , by far the sim features -Panama canal system , where there are working lock systems, also the panamax size vessels can only go through like in real life. -Ship customization options, and it is here where im doing my part , there a lot of customization options in the game where you design the cabins , the decks , the toilets ,gyms, coffee machine too haha. This is what my plan is , to add detail to the ship in game i.e The triple E , hopefully i'll try to recreate it as shown in the video :)
Thank you for sharing, I've learnt so much about container ships in the last two days. I always thought life on a ship was incredibly hard and labor intense, but I see there is a balance and adventure. You seem like a great mentor to your crew.
Maersk ships really have the top notch equipment... I've been on container vessels both smaller and larger than Maersk's "Triple E" (and there are not too many larger ships!), and the interior of your ship definitely looks better. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for another great video Karanvir! I am amazed at all the things you can do on this ship! The accommodations are really nice! Now all you need is more free time! LOL. I think your contract is ending soon. I am sure it is great to see your family and friends again! I hope you will 'take us along' on your adventures on land. ❤️
Really interesting video. I love to see 'behind the scenes' tours of places that are unavailable to most of us. Interesting to see where you live and work. Your tour also reveals a high degree of comradery onboard (the cooks looked pretty friendly), as well as of comfort. The food looked good too....many thanks.
The furniture in the lounges / day rooms and even the cabins looks very similar to the furniture we had in my dorms in college many years ago. Not the most comfortable or attractive furniture, but rather inexpensive institutional furniture that is easy to keep clean and tough to break or damage, and which will remain usable for many, many years. In that sense it's great for it's intended purpose, and far better than the disposable furniture that one might buy at IKEA.
Now finally I'm watching my favorite channel's vlog on time BTW it is going so interesting and it's nice to see that seaferars have all these entertainment stuff onboard that make their time better onboard ❤❤
@@KaranvirSinghNayyar Sir you need not to thank me Because of your vlogs I am aware about reality of life of seafarers and giving huge information about merchant navy that is beyond our reach
It was an amazing experience! I've never thought a ship was so security. You can work, have fun, go to the GYM and develop yourself. Congratulations, dude!
Oh wow amazing. I spent many summers on my dad's ship in the 1980s and this brought back so many memories and tbh smells of being on a merchant ship. Fantastic videos. We need to remember the work of the Merchant Navy ❤
Very impressive! I knew Maersk was a big company, but they really provide for their crews! Those theater chairs would probably put me right to sleep! Safe travels, sir!
I've been in countless conference rooms on LPG ships for pre transfer meetings lol. Never been on a vessel for a meeting where they didn't offer food or beverages. Every single merchant mariner from overseas I personally encounter have been the most professional and courteous people I have ever worked with.
Hello, Karanvir, l watch your great videos. In this video you mentioned cinema onboard. I worked as a technician at NDSM Shipbuilding company in Amsterdam from 1975 until 1986. Container ships Incotrans Spirit and Incotrans speed were built with a cinema, indoor and outdoor swimming pool and gym in 1979. Also very hi-tech engine control Systems. Keep making nice videos.
"SHUKRIYAAAAA, Tusentakk, Thank You, Dankjewel for adding free publicity in this video for the Welfare for all of You onboard❣🙏🏽 Your library looks awesome and glad to hear you appreciated the books too. I can see our At Sea magazines are at display too as well as other SHW services, sports, and games. As afterall, we are aiming at creating a better, healthier, relaxing life at sea for you. It is vital to keep orgaising social activities together as that is improving the ambiance onboard too.

Another masterpiece of his video and i am glad you also keep following his adventures and experiences. I wish you a blessed day and "lieve, zonnige groet uit Brielle"🌞🙋🏼♀️⚘
Yeah; military ships are a totally different world. A modern cargo ship is just a box designed to mainly hold lots of smaller boxes, and the crew requirement is vastly smaller... and simple _space_ is nowhere near at a premium as it is on a warship. A handful of people to drive the ship (per shift) and another handful to do the never-ending maintenance, and that's it. The requirements and capabilities of a warship are much greater than what is needed on a cargo vessel, and shapes the whole design environment for ship builders...
Thankyou for a very informative video. I am very impressed by the spotless condition of the ship and the trouble that Maersk have taken to provide a quality place for their staff. Congratulations too, to the captain nd all of your fellow crew members.
Nice video! Im surprised with security concerns that you are actually allowed to give so much information about the layout of the ship and crew quarters.
Nah it's fine , normal civilians aren't allowed and can't access a cargo vessel unless they are given special permission by the captain and are watched at all times. When there are paying travelers onboard shipping vessels the crew usually locks the access to dangerous areas where the visitors aren't allowed such as the engine room and the bridge.
@@josephbennett3482 Is that actually something a regular person can do? I like the idea of booking passage on a container ship, but I'd imagine the months of travel time staring at the ocean might not be such a great experience.
@@MLB9000 yes with special permission from the captain of the vessel and clearances for safety reasons people can book a trip on a cargo vessel as a visitor , it's usually the most cheapest way to get from one place to another but with terrorism being a big concern most shipping companies don't ok it.
Thank you for taking the time to instruct and entertain us. If I was part of the crew I would spend my free time sun tanning and meditating on the monkey island. PS: Everything is so clean and organized, I'm impressed. Cookie points for everyone. 😁
Great Information and great efforts, I didn't know much about Merchant Navy but these types of videos can help Sea Pirates as shown in Captain Phillips.
It's a bit difficult because you have to have your maritime certification and have the knowledge on being able to repair and maintain a ship if something goes wrong , and you have to pass a lot of security background checks so the shipping company and federal agencies know that you're not a threat to the safety of ocean vessels , lastly ship crews have to pass a health check to make sure they are fit to do the work and trips that last literally weeks at a time.
At the university that my cousin attends, its difficult to get into the Faculty of Logistics and even more difficult to get a seat in the maritime major, the acceptance rate is less than the faculty of medicine at the same univ. The difficulty begins even before you get a chance to study this branch.
Another wonderful video sir again ofcourse yours all video are are very interesting sir and a good knowledge sir . AND waiting to see a video of GP rating fresher video sir
Thanks Sir for enlightening us about how you seafarers survive and work for a long time at sea, wish you all a safe journey, and locking for the next upcoming video, God's speed Sir ...
Great video. Love these container ships. I'm used to Great Lake Freighters. I didn't know there were so many accommodations aboard. I collect ship hats. Does Mearsk have a web site that you can order a hat or shirt ? Stay healthy and well. Keep up with these great videos. Cheers from Sarnia Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
How the hell do you keep the inside quarters that clean. Considering the size of the interiors and how spic and span it is, it would take an army to keep it this clean. Whoever is in charge of the cleaning, is doing a great job.
Not much dirt at sea and you don't wear dirty overalls past the change room or the steward will roast you. A crew that doesn't keep their living quarters clean is unlikely to be taking correct care of the rest of the ship.

I came across some nice comments about her on RUclips and I gave it a shot! I didn't believe in bitcoin before Thanks for introducing me to Mrs Lynne Ellen rule she is good
Maersk is a great company. Congrats to be there as 2nd OF. Interesting videos you have done. I have a 14 m Sailing Yacht, just for fun. But I have a Diesel I use only for harbour or to fill the accu. Radar, GPS, Whether Plotter and other Instruments. I rounded the world down in the 40s and lower. But Pacific in a good season is more relaxing. Mostly I am in the English Channel and my harbour in Netherlands.My boat has a Saloon , 3 cabins. 2 Bathrooms and a kitchen. A small machine room. All in 14 m not 2-3 containers on your ship ! Good wind ( 6-8) she goes 12kn min. ! I can sail it alone. At lonesome places with automatic pilot when wind dont changes.. But in strong wind over 7-8 the sails are hard work if you have to change. I try to do that before the strong wind arrives.. Thanks for the videos , go on please !
From the starting till end of video was really interesting. I personally love this video❤ I was waiting for it so long and the video was really worth of waiting💯 Thank you bhaiya for explaining every details about all 9 decks🥺 I've got a clear vision about accomandation from this video. All the efforts you've made for this video and the previous ones are so worth it and really appreciated❤ Once again thank you so much bhaiya for an awesome tour✨ Happy Holiday Bhaiya❤
I was a bit worried that potential pirates would look at this video and then they would know exactly where to go,if they would try to attack your ship,but I hope that I’m wrong,be safe on your journeys,and thank you for a very nice video :) :) :)
A couple of years ago,I was sailing as bosun on container ship,when I was walking around the ship before we pulled out,came to the weight room,with an adjacent room with an empty pool. About 15ft square and 12ft deep. The use sea water,once we get out to sea they fill it up. It was nice being able to jump in and swim.
Hi, Karan. Good day to you at work. . . ! Hope you are doing good, only few dare to choose to frame their outstanding life being away from home, very strong will power and confidence to accept challenges to face any forces all the way , good luck., The accommodation tour was fantastic and you showed us so many things which are beyond the reach for common man's imaginination . Best wishes
Thank You for this. I spent many years working on passenger cruise ships and always wondered what the crew areas were like on modern container and freight ships. They are very similar, albeit in a different scale.
I really enjoyed that and subscribed for upcoming videos. I worked on board cruise ships for 5 years, therefore share your interest. You covered that tour quickly, but adequately indeed. I was surprised no one was on the bridge though.

3) the features inside the game are pretty less if you compare it with other ship sims but as i said its still in development so i think we should give the devloper a chance , by far the sim features
-Panama canal system , where there are working lock systems, also the panamax size vessels can only go through like in real life.
-Ship customization options, and it is here where im doing my part , there a lot of customization options in the game where you design the cabins , the decks , the toilets ,gyms, coffee machine too haha.

The attitude you have is infectious. Good guy subscribed.
Impressive how clean the ship is.
Oh wow amazing. I spent many summers on my dad's ship in the 1980s and this brought back so many memories and tbh smells of being on a merchant ship. Fantastic videos. We need to remember the work of the Merchant Navy ❤
Really loved it, this Accommodation video Karan sir!!!
These kind of stuffs really inspirational for Aspiring Mariners.
Thanks a lot Karan sir ♥️
You are welcome ❤️
Very impressive! I knew Maersk was a big company, but they really provide for their crews! Those theater chairs would probably put me right to sleep! Safe travels, sir!
All pirates thank you for the detailed tour!

"And here is the engine room where we hide. This door in the back never locks!!! So annoying...."
I've been in countless conference rooms on LPG ships for pre transfer meetings lol. Never been on a vessel for a meeting where they didn't offer food or beverages. Every single merchant mariner from overseas I personally encounter have been the most professional and courteous people I have ever worked with.
Freedom, open-air, adventure… You found all that at sea, congrats mate!
Yes
Hello, Karanvir, l watch your great videos. In this video you mentioned cinema onboard. I worked as a technician at NDSM Shipbuilding company in Amsterdam from 1975 until 1986. Container ships Incotrans Spirit and Incotrans speed were built with a cinema, indoor and outdoor swimming pool and gym in 1979. Also very hi-tech engine control Systems.
Keep making nice videos.
"SHUKRIYAAAAA, Tusentakk, Thank You, Dankjewel for adding free publicity in this video for the Welfare for all of You onboard❣🙏🏽 Your library looks awesome and glad to hear you appreciated the books too. I can see our At Sea magazines are at display too as well as other SHW services, sports, and games. As afterall, we are aiming at creating a better, healthier, relaxing life at sea for you. It is vital to keep orgaising social activities together as that is improving the ambiance onboard too. And Thank You for saying "I Rock"😊💃🏼 well dear Karanvir, so do you and "Let us keep ROCKing together"🥳🥳☸☸💃🏼🕺🏽 After your time off, we catch up. Enjoy India and see you soon, Namaste🙏🏽🌞🌄🙋🏼♀️❣" P.s. for the viewers who are have no clue: why is the top part of the vessel called "Monkey Island"?....⚓🚢💙
Hi Belinda! That was such a cool video! I hope you are doing great and the weather is not too cold and stormy in Brielle this winter. Take care! ❤️
Hope to see you next time Belinda ❤️
@@tinacatharinaeden2711 "Goedemiddag, Goodafternoon dear Tiny, hoe gaat het met jou?😊 I hope all is great and you are living yiur life with sunny days surrounding you🌞 All great here in Brielle and I am out to assist and service all colleagues of dear Karanvir. Another masterpiece of his video and i am glad you also keep following his adventures and experiences. I wish you a blessed day and "lieve, zonnige groet uit Brielle"🌞🙋🏼♀️⚘
Awesome video. Just found your channel. Keep up the good work. Very informative.
Thank you
I was on 3 ships during my time in the Navy, I like this better! New Sub.
Yeah; military ships are a totally different world. A modern cargo ship is just a box designed to mainly hold lots of smaller boxes, and the crew requirement is vastly smaller... and simple _space_ is nowhere near at a premium as it is on a warship. A handful of people to drive the ship (per shift) and another handful to do the never-ending maintenance, and that's it. The requirements and capabilities of a warship are much greater than what is needed on a cargo vessel, and shapes the whole design environment for ship builders...
Hey Karan Sir 😊 ! Hope you are too good after getting back to India ! Got That Thing What I Was Really Excited and waiting for ❤️ Accomodation Tour
Happy to read that buddy
@@KaranvirSinghNayyar 😊😊❤️
Thankyou for a very informative video. I am very impressed by the spotless condition of the ship and the trouble that Maersk have taken to provide a quality place for their staff. Congratulations too, to the captain nd all of your fellow crew members.
Glad you enjoyed it
Outstanding video sir.... And thank u very much for working this hard for us....u never fail to suprise us with u wonderful content and videos 😇
Thank you komal
Congratulations Karanvir for showing the accommodation beautifully. All the best and God bless.
Nice video! Im surprised with security concerns that you are actually allowed to give so much information about the layout of the ship and crew quarters.
Nah it's fine , normal civilians aren't allowed and can't access a cargo vessel unless they are given special permission by the captain and are watched at all times. When there are paying travelers onboard shipping vessels the crew usually locks the access to dangerous areas where the visitors aren't allowed such as the engine room and the bridge.
@@josephbennett3482 Is that actually something a regular person can do? I like the idea of booking passage on a container ship, but I'd imagine the months of travel time staring at the ocean might not be such a great experience.
@@MLB9000 yes with special permission from the captain of the vessel and clearances for safety reasons people can book a trip on a cargo vessel as a visitor , it's usually the most cheapest way to get from one place to another but with terrorism being a big concern most shipping companies don't ok it.
That ship is incredibly clean. Nice video!
Thank you for taking the time to instruct and entertain us. If I was part of the crew I would spend my free time sun tanning and meditating on the monkey island. PS: Everything is so clean and organized, I'm impressed. Cookie points for everyone. 😁
Great Information and great efforts, I didn't know much about Merchant Navy but these types of videos can help Sea Pirates as shown in Captain Phillips.
I am blown away. How difficult is it to become a crew member on a ship like that?
It's a bit difficult because you have to have your maritime certification and have the knowledge on being able to repair and maintain a ship if something goes wrong , and you have to pass a lot of security background checks so the shipping company and federal agencies know that you're not a threat to the safety of ocean vessels , lastly ship crews have to pass a health check to make sure they are fit to do the work and trips that last literally weeks at a time.
@@josephbennett3482 that would make for a great video.
At the university that my cousin attends, its difficult to get into the Faculty of Logistics and even more difficult to get a seat in the maritime major, the acceptance rate is less than the faculty of medicine at the same univ. The difficulty begins even before you get a chance to study this branch.
THANKS FOR THE GREAT TOUR …Good to see the excellence of Maersk crews and ships …..💪💪
Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoyed this a lot , when I see ships going past I often wonder what it’s like on board . Also Karanvir is charming 👍
Thank you Alex
man this actually looks pretty sweet. should have gotten into merchant marines when i was young
Another wonderful video sir again ofcourse yours all video are are very interesting sir and a good knowledge sir . AND waiting to see a video of GP rating fresher video sir
Thank you buddy
Will cover
Thanks Sir for enlightening us about how you seafarers survive and work for a long time at sea, wish you all a safe journey, and locking for the next upcoming video, God's speed Sir ...
Wow, the largest ship I've sailed on as crew is 20,000 tons or so, that accommodation is sheer luxury!
It is indeed
I love seeing the slop chest .. it is so cozy place knowing there are treats and comforts aboard the long time away from convenience.
Indeed a cozy space
Great video. Love these container ships. I'm used to Great Lake Freighters. I didn't know there were so many accommodations aboard. I collect ship hats. Does Mearsk have a web site that you can order a hat or shirt ?
Stay healthy and well. Keep up with these great videos. Cheers from Sarnia Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
They do have one website jeff
@@KaranvirSinghNayyar nice I will take a look. Thank you sir.
This was a fantastic video. I wish I was aware in my teen years that such a career existed, thank you
How the hell do you keep the inside quarters that clean. Considering the size of the interiors and how spic and span it is, it would take an army to keep it this clean. Whoever is in charge of the cleaning, is doing a great job.
Not much dirt at sea and you don't wear dirty overalls past the change room or the steward will roast you. A crew that doesn't keep their living quarters clean is unlikely to be taking correct care of the rest of the ship.
Generally it stays clean
That with cables on the gym is a lateral pull machine. It is good for strengthen stomach and back muscles shoulder muscles without putting compressive load on the vertibrae.
I saw this ship docked in singapore 😊 great video 🙏❤️
Thanks. ❤️ glad you watched the video
I enjoyed the video !! You are good at talking to the camera! And I can feel your positive energy !
Thank you
Somali pirates loves this video
What a beautiful ship. Thank you for sharing this!

Am hoping on you can explain more on how you make extra income from investments
Financial freedom is absolutely the perfect freedom
@Casino Şimşek This is awesome, please can you be of an assistance to me how can I connect with your broker?
I came across some nice comments about her on RUclips and I gave it a shot! I didn't believe in bitcoin before Thanks for introducing me to Mrs Lynne Ellen rule she is good
@Casino Şimşek I think you should consider being a RUclipsr and have your own channel. You share some good tips for strategic investments.
Maersk is a great company. Congrats to be there as 2nd OF. Interesting videos you have done. I have a 14 m Sailing Yacht, just for fun. But I have a Diesel I use only for harbour or to fill the accu. Radar, GPS, Whether Plotter and other Instruments. I rounded the world down in the 40s and lower. But Pacific in a good season is more relaxing. Mostly I am in the English Channel and my harbour in Netherlands.My boat has a Saloon , 3 cabins. 2 Bathrooms and a kitchen. A small machine room. All in 14 m not 2-3 containers on your ship ! Good wind ( 6-8) she goes 12kn min. ! I can sail it alone. At lonesome places with automatic pilot when wind dont changes.. But in strong wind over 7-8 the sails are hard work if you have to change. I try to do that before the strong wind arrives..
Thanks for the videos , go on please !
From the starting till end of video was really interesting. I personally love this video❤ I was waiting for it so long and the video was really worth of waiting💯 Thank you bhaiya for explaining every details about all 9 decks🥺 I've got a clear vision about accomandation from this video. All the efforts you've made for this video and the previous ones are so worth it and really appreciated❤ Once again thank you so much bhaiya for an awesome tour✨ Happy Holiday Bhaiya❤
You are welcome
i've always wondered how an inside of this ship looks like, wow! thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed the tour!
I was a bit worried that potential pirates would look at this video and then they would know exactly where to go,if they would try to attack your ship,but I hope that I’m wrong,be safe on your journeys,and thank you for a very nice video :) :) :)
Great Accommodation tour K.S.N. Looking forward to more videos just like this one.
Thank you

A couple of years ago,I was sailing as bosun on container ship,when I was walking around the ship before we pulled out,came to the weight room,with an adjacent room with an empty pool. About 15ft square and 12ft deep. The use sea water,once we get out to sea they fill it up. It was nice being able to jump in and swim.
Thank you for sharing
Nice one Beautiful deck, better occupied and share with a skilled one.Best working atmosphere.
That was really interesting, Thankyou for showing us around 🙏
Superb presentation 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧 what a ship that is
top-notch video Karanvir, Really enjoyed it. Please keep making more videos like this.
Hi, Karan. Good day to you at work. . . !
Hope you are doing good, only few dare to choose to frame their outstanding life being away from home, very strong will power and confidence to accept challenges to face any forces all the way , good luck.,
The accommodation tour was fantastic and you showed us so many things which are beyond the reach for common man's imaginination .
Best wishes
Thank you for all the appreciation
Thank You for this. I spent many years working on passenger cruise ships and always wondered what the crew areas were like on modern container and freight ships. They are very similar, albeit in a different scale.
Glad it was helpful!
It looks like in all these common areas there may be lots of stuff that should secured in rough weather to avoid being thrown about.
I'm assuming you guys can use the pool when you want as long as seas are calm, just flip the pump on and fill it up with sea water?
I really enjoyed that and subscribed for upcoming videos. I worked on board cruise ships for 5 years, therefore share your interest. You covered that tour quickly, but adequately indeed. I was surprised no one was on the bridge though.
Thank you for watching
Thank you for the tour and heads-up on Ship Life at Sea.
