Cheif. I have seen a few of your videos now. I have to admit I'm a fan. Not only for your technical expertise and flawless explanation of all things dealing with your ship. But just how genuine you are sir. I wish you nothing but calm seas and fair weather. Be safe! From the US
Probably the best night of sleep in port is the one just after receiving a "Zero Deficiency Report"!! I'm quite sure that takes a great bit of stress off of officers & crew alike. Also quite enjoyed the maintenance portion of the video. Nice diagnostic trail to find & repair the issue. Calm seas, as always, Chief!
Great to see the work being done safely and skilfully by your team. Another fabulous video, informative, interesting and entertaining all in just 12 minutes. Thank you Chief.
Chief, I think your videos are a great antidote to the aversion to manual or technical labor that is troubling the United States today. Well-paying job positions in electrical, mechanical and HVAC fields are going unfilled because young people seem to think that any work that involves the use of tools is beneath them. At the same time, people with college degrees are unemployed or working in entry-level jobs that do not and never will pay a living wage. The satisfaction of fixing a complex mechanical system, and the dignity of work, are well illustrated in the video. Congratulations from a retired mechanic.
Fascinating video this. As an ex aircraft engineer it looked simple enough but on a massive scale. The only time I ever used hydraulic equipment was to tighten/loosen the Jesus Nut that holds the main rotor on on a Chinook helicopter.
As an aircraft mechanic myself I really enjoy watching this. Aircraft components tend to be small and precise. Once I helped a friend work on logging equipment and it almost killed me. I’m a little skinny guy and most of the parts were bigger than I was. The old guys laughed when I couldn’t lift some of the big tools!! Heavy maintenance on a ship like this is really impressive.
2:52 -- The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) is the main international convention covering prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships. The MARPOL Convention was adopted on 2 November 1973.
Chief MAKOi - you are a fantastic narrator; just like someone who narrates a nature programme on the TV. I enjoy every single video you post.....keep it up :)
Engine rooms are so clean and bright compared to movie/video game ones. No place for a xenomorph to hide, LOL. Teasing aside, I can see you take pride in your engine room. It shows. Always nice to see someone thought ahead to maintenance time and provided bolt holes as a means of lifting that heavy thing.
Awesome video as always! This was a fun one to watch. I work for a company that rebuilds fuel injection pumps for ships and power plants. All I do all day is rebuild and calibrate pumps.
We subscribers forget you have a real job to do! You’re not just a RUclipsr but have a ship to operate! The job comes first. But hoping you have time to make more of your great videos!
As a ship's agent, your videos are extremelly interesting to see how the other end of our job works, and to understand some of the problems you face, so we can help you better when you call our ports. As a ship's agent in Tarragona, your Tarragona videos are special :) Safe seas and following winds, Chief!
Wow, this takes me back to my Navy days! We ran the evaporators underway, and worked on the hydraulic, compressed air and refrigeration systems. Those were good times!
This ship has 19-24 people on it . Your ship had that much just in your division! No watch in the evaporator. No one in watch in the engine room at night! Ex MM then merchant marine...
My Navy days were in the late 60's, although an Electricians Mate, I've put my time in, and cherished the memories of the engine rooms and engineering spaces I've worked in on three different ships...never dreaming that over a half century later I would be able to travel on, tour, and watch the work being done on so many ships via something called the Internet.
Fascinating stuff this.I love watching the ships pass arriving or passing my home town of Delfzijl which is also a ship's haven. It's great to see what's going on inside these travelers of the seas. Good stuff and good to see your ship is.....well ship shape. Look forward to the next one.
Easy to say, but not as easy to do. Words are coming out easy. Parts, because of size and weight are not easy to handle ! Only well trained professionals can make it look easy. You got the best team. Take care of them ! Thank you for giving us inspiration !!!
I like techie 🙂. I love seeing all this techie stuff. My other half was a Chief Engineer in the Royal Navy (UK). He ended up as the Works and Production Manager for a UK company making self lubricating bearings for all sorts of machinery, from car steering wheel shaft bearings to ship propeller shaft bearings. So, I guess you've probably had your hands on some of his company's stuff over the years. He "crossed the bar" nearly twenty years ago now, so I doubt that you have touched anything he actually produced as I think that you would have been a bit too young 🙂 . I think that most of his work in the Royal Navy would have been with steam rather than diesel. I'm sure he would have enjoyed seeing your engine rooms. God bless, and salamat Chief. Stay safe!
Well done Chief, and once a I could not help but wax a bit nostalgic again and relive a few memories from when I was the age of those young men, and doing similar work. Very gratifying when you are proficient and complete not just jobs but critical missions.
The main engine has all these small engines and generators and compressors to support it.I never even thought about or had any idea how much work it is to keep one them bad boys humming.Thank you for letting me into your world!
As usual, a great narrative and video from Chief MAKOi. What a pleasure it is to re-live life at sea as a Chief Engineer. I certainly miss those days well done Chief, as usual, it’s a winner!
what is your love for nature,mine was trees. before I joined the military,I planned for a very large plots of land for trees planting, tryna get some nature specialist, that can give me the name of old trees from the ancient, wanna make some research about them, for personal benefits. meeting you here was I great thing,but I don't come here if not for important things and don't got much Time for stranger,but you're still a blissful human too,and hope you stay safe from covid 19. I might not give you response back for now,dew to my job schedules and high monitoring devices all around me,it would be nice texting directly to Gmail or Mobile number. text me back to my Gmail address which is (megsaudibert@gmail.com) or send me your Gmail address and your mobile number,so when I come online here, would get you a response,hope you stay safe.
Gaaahhh! Every time I look at that engine, I just want to know more about how it works! But everytime I learn something, another question comes up in my mind! I find beauty in such complex and fine-tuned machines. Sure, it's not the daintiest thing, but the efficient re-use of heat and the size and power and resiliency of it is still amazing to me! Plus all of the functions and side-systems that it contributes to or that contribute to it, the whole ship is an amazing and powerful system that reminds me of a spacecraft in some ways lol. I'm sure I'd get bored or frustrated or burnt out before I ever learned enough to be an engineer of that type of system, but I'm also sure that I'll watch every RUclips video you make 😅
Really enjoy your videos, I have been a longshoreman in the Port of Oshawa for 30 years and you sure clarify a bunch of questions I've had for years thank you and stay safe my friend,if you ever come to my port I will look after you. Cheers!
I’m really enjoying your videos! My maternal grandfather was an engineer for Fairbanks Morse, and once received an award for getting a runaway ship engine shut down, after all the other guys had run for cover. I think this happened back in the 1930s. What a great career you’ve chosen, and it appears to serve you and your family well! 🙌🏻
Chief MAKOI thank you for a very interesting and well laid out blog, i.m an Australian living in Queensland at a port called Gladstone, mainly coal exports,I have just returned from the Philippines CEBU where I have lived for the past 20 years and have several nephews that are also seamen on cargo ships, now with your help I now understand their job, thank you. Good luck with your travels.
Seeing the faulty seal reminded me of one ship that I joined as 4/E where my duties included the fuel and diesel oil purifiers. I immediately saw diesel oil dripping from the purifier which had to be run continuously on this ship. There were no new spare seals or bearings as the relieved 4/E had put old ones back into store without ordering new. I was furious, but I managed to repair one of the serious leaks and gave the new Chief a long list of spares needed. Once they arrived, we managed to get things improved. Regrettably, not all seafarers maintained the good practices that we see in your videos.
Great video as always Chief. You certainly have a skilled group of young Engineers that get the job done. I'm a former US Navy Boiler Tech that steamed a lot of miles on a Adams Class Destroyer and know what it's like being at sea for extended periods of time. I still to this day work in a related field as a Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspector and have been doing that for the past 33 years. Fair winds and following seas to your crew Brother.
It may not be simple, but you sure made it look easy as it could be. You must know that engine room so intimately such that you know every nut & bolt placement! Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing
Another good one chief. I appreciate you showing the good, bad and sometimes messy aspects of shipping and more specifically engineering. Please keep doing what you are doing. This is good for the industry. Cheers and have a good watch.
what is your love for nature,mine was trees. before I joined the military,I planned for a very large plots of land for trees planting, tryna get some nature specialist, that can give me the name of old trees from the ancient, wanna make some research about them, for personal benefits. meeting you here was I great thing,but I don't come here if not for important things and don't got much Time for stranger,but you're still a blissful human too,and hope you stay safe from covid 19.

To me, it looks somehow simpler because of the size. At least you can get to everything working on smaller engines makes it problematic because everything is packed tightly together.
@@Matevz96 yes and no. The actual internal combustion part of the engine is simple. It’s a large low RPM 2 stroke. But the ancillaries such as the air start system, jacket water cooling, electronic timing, charged air, fuel system and lubrication systems which are all massively scaled up make it complicated ect make it complicated.
Nice work guys! You make it look so easy...but changing pump seals is a lot easier than some things...looks like you've got a great crew chief. Cheers....
Really enjoying these gems. I know nothing about 'Big Ships' (i used to sail small yachts 30' and outboard powered fishing boats) I've learned how dangerous Bauxite can be if it gets too wet, Learned about different fuels used, all fascinating stuff. More power to you Chief!
Thank you Chief. I look forward to each one of your vlogs and enjoy them all. You bring insights into a world very different from my own and you expand my horizons. Thanks again!
Guess the decisions taken to those minor and hard work by you Chief MAKOi and your team on the Engine Maintenance and other minor jobs/tasks turned out pretty well and one week's stay at Tarragona Spain must have been pleasant for you all. God Bless.
Great video!! Your crystal clear explanations again shined through.. The replacement of the (OMG HUGE!!) injector seal rings will inform me for many a repair on MUCH SMALLER engines. Thank you for your thoughtful and well stated explanations of all things marine!
Salamat po for the vlog! The memories of working are coming back with a smile this evening! Keep-up the great work and safe voyages, Chief! Much Mabuhay and 🙏!

Dear Chief, I continue to love your videos about life aboard commercial vessels. This one is fantastic. It’s great how you feature your crew mates at work - these men receive so little attention and recognition in the media for the critically important work they do to keep our supply chains moving. Your choice of music, voiceovers and video is superb. I’m a mechanical engineer, so the focus on engine maintenance was super interesting. Hope you enjoyed Tarragona, it’s a lovely city!
I love your videos, I don't know how I stumbled across your RUclips channel but I've watched a lot of them now, very well presented videos, informative and fun to watch with a great variety of content. You've answered a lot of questions I might have had about bulk carriers and the life of a seafarer, keep up the great work :)
Chief Makoi thanks sa blog mo akoy isang retired seaman na din mga alaala na lng ng mga nakaraan ko ang aking napapanood sa mga blog mo thanks ulit sa iyo Sir ingat na lng.
Thank you for the video Chief! Just came back from Marseille where I inspected and did maintenance on the IT infrastructure on a few ships of our fleet that is still resting waiting for the cruise industry to restart. I was lucky enough to sleep onboard, meet some friends and sail one night out to discharge grey water, run osmosis and test the newly installed 2000W front light for ice operations. Really hoper you can disembark and take a tour.
Sir, I just found your channel and I really like it. Your delivery and explanation of all things mechanical are excellent. I have subscribed and I shall now binge watch as I love all things mechanical on ships. Tons of thumbs up coming. Cheers sir!
I would not have been able to pass the shrimp bar and chocolate fountain. Being at sea takes everything out of me. Lol! Another good teaching and inculcating video.
I am grateful that you present these truly exciting videos without any drama or innuendo. Your narration is both fascinating and calming. Thank you very much for all of the efforts you make to share your interesting life experience with your viewers.
The more of these engineering videos you make, it is easy to see now exactly how much research went into making the engine and systems serviceable at sea.
Nice chief, you know job very well. I can sense that you are a good and responsible officer thru the way you expressed yourself in this video. In my entire ship on board experiences, i seldom to see officers who could speak or communicate very well in english which is very important in this field of work. I'm not judging them anyway but it was true based on my personal views. Kusinero lang naman ako noon so no need to be arrogant. Yung iba naman mahina sila sa communication skills pero magaling naman sa actual job performances. Still i salute them. Good luck ka marino.

Cheif, FYI, there is a container ship off the coast of Shelonka that is fully on Fire 🔥! Crew is safe, but the video 📹 footage is stunning. Massage amount of Fire coming out of the containers. Ship is Anchored⚓ but may sink. Nice to see your report 👍 😀.

Also quite enjoyed the maintenance portion of the video. Nice diagnostic trail to find & repair the issue. Calm seas, as always, Chief!
Good catch on the oil leak. It is why you are a CHIEF Engineer! Once again, well done.
Great to see the work being done safely and skilfully by your team. Another fabulous video, informative, interesting and entertaining all in just 12 minutes. Thank you Chief.
Chief, I think your videos are a great antidote to the aversion to manual or technical labor that is troubling the United States today. Well-paying job positions in electrical, mechanical and HVAC fields are going unfilled because young people seem to think that any work that involves the use of tools is beneath them. At the same time, people with college degrees are unemployed or working in entry-level jobs that do not and never will pay a living wage. The satisfaction of fixing a complex mechanical system, and the dignity of work, are well illustrated in the video. Congratulations from a retired mechanic.
I agree. Manual labor is the most honest kind of work.
Fascinating video this. As an ex aircraft engineer it looked simple enough but on a massive scale. The only time I ever used hydraulic equipment was to tighten/loosen the Jesus Nut that holds the main rotor on on a Chinook helicopter.

Still one of the best channels on RUclips.
Best Video yet 100% Plus nice to see the engineers dipping the new seals in fresh oil before fitment 👍
Chief; It is so nice to listen to you. Retired Merchant Seaman, Deck Dept, but I also have a steam ticket.
I can't wait for your next episode , hope you're doing great , your follower from Palestine 🇵🇸
Had a life long career in the oil industry with heavy maintenance and reliability. I love these videos reminds me of the mess we all used to get into.

Yes, I can see that the sheer size, weight, and complexity of the engine parts mate a "simple" job much more difficult.
*make
It's more its displacement more than anything. It's a very simple engine.
To me, it looks somehow simpler because of the size. At least you can get to everything working on smaller engines makes it problematic because everything is packed tightly together.

Salamat po for the vlog! The memories of working are coming back with a smile this evening! Keep-up the great work and safe voyages, Chief! Much Mabuhay and 🙏!
what is your love for nature,mine was trees. before I joined the military,I planned for a very large plots of land for trees planting, tryna get some nature specialist, that can give me the name of old trees from the ancient, wanna make some research about them, for personal benefits. meeting you here was I great thing,but I don't come here if not for important things and don't got much Time for stranger,but you're still a blissful human too,and hope you stay safe from covid 19.
I might not give you response back for now,dew to my job schedules and high monitoring devices all around me,it would be nice texting directly to Gmail or Mobile number. text me back to my Gmail address which is (megsaudibert@gmail.com) or send me your Gmail address and your mobile number,so when I come online here, would get you a response,hope you stay safe.
Dear Chief, I continue to love your videos about life aboard commercial vessels. This one is fantastic. It’s great how you feature your crew mates at work - these men receive so little attention and recognition in the media for the critically important work they do to keep our supply chains moving. Your choice of music, voiceovers and video is superb. I’m a mechanical engineer, so the focus on engine maintenance was super interesting. Hope you enjoyed Tarragona, it’s a lovely city!
I love your videos, I don't know how I stumbled across your RUclips channel but I've watched a lot of them now, very well presented videos, informative and fun to watch with a great variety of content. You've answered a lot of questions I might have had about bulk carriers and the life of a seafarer, keep up the great work :)
Chief Makoi thanks sa blog mo akoy isang retired seaman na din mga alaala na lng ng mga nakaraan ko ang aking napapanood sa mga blog mo thanks ulit sa iyo Sir ingat na lng.
Thank you for the video Chief!
Just came back from Marseille where I inspected and did maintenance on the IT infrastructure on a few ships of our fleet that is still resting waiting for the cruise industry to restart.
I was lucky enough to sleep onboard, meet some friends and sail one night out to discharge grey water, run osmosis and test the newly installed 2000W front light for ice operations.
Really hoper you can disembark and take a tour.
Sir, I just found your channel and I really like it. Your delivery and explanation of all things mechanical are excellent. I have subscribed and I shall now binge watch as I love all things mechanical on ships. Tons of thumbs up coming. Cheers sir!
Capable and dedicated staff They have a great leader..ty Chief !
Thanks Chief. Real engineering. Good men!
I would not have been able to pass the shrimp bar and chocolate fountain. Being at sea takes everything out of me. Lol! Another good teaching and inculcating video.
I am grateful that you present these truly exciting videos without any drama or innuendo. Your narration is both fascinating and calming. Thank you very much for all of the efforts you make to share your interesting life experience with your viewers.
Hi chief , cheers from Down Under mate , may you have calm winds in your sails and safe sailing on the high seas.
Great work from the crew. A little hard work can prevent alot of hard work.
Fair winds.
I love your videos. I find them so relaxing to watch.
Just started watching and the first thing that came to mind was "professional".
Great job and very interesting.
Stay safe and God bless. 😎👍👌
Another awesome video Chief. Your videos give the world a great insight to life aboard ocean going ships.
Thanks for all these videos Chief i follow your journeys on Marine Traffic some mega journeys
Once again, enjoyed the informative video on life aboard the vessel
As always Chief, love the work.. I hope she keeps behaving..
The more of these engineering videos you make, it is easy to see now exactly how much research went into making the engine and systems serviceable at sea.
Nice chief, you know job very well. I can sense that you are a good and responsible officer thru the way you expressed yourself in this video. In my entire ship on board experiences, i seldom to see officers who could speak or communicate very well in english which is very important in this field of work. I'm not judging them anyway but it was true based on my personal views. Kusinero lang naman ako noon so no need to be arrogant. Yung iba naman mahina sila sa communication skills pero magaling naman sa actual job performances. Still i salute them. Good luck ka marino.
Thanks Chief always looking forward to your content!

Nice videos and explanations.....all love from South africa 🇿🇦
Chief, nothing in life is simple or easy, it is always best to stay prepared and keep your training current. Very good and enjoyable video!
A very impressive video Chief MAKOi, lovely music, and excellent narration... Stay safe
I think you have the best RUclips videos. I love your content Chief M.
Welcome to Spain Chief
Thanks for the sharing. Interesting to see the work of ship crew.
Cheif, FYI, there is a container ship off the coast of Shelonka that is fully on Fire 🔥! Crew is safe, but the video 📹 footage is stunning. Massage amount of Fire coming out of the containers.
Ship is Anchored⚓ but may sink.
Nice to see your report 👍 😀.
Great video Chief - It's great to see the teamwork by your crew. My perception was you have a strong safety culture as well.
It's always a great experience checking in with the Chief and his video's. Great Job!!
An excellent and very enjoyable presentation, thankyou!
Solid storytelling and excellent filming/editing. Peace of mind here.
