Bro u have no haters.......hats off 🙏
Other than those 20 dislikes I dipise
@Raki chamu they seem to be auto generated 🤔🤔
How could he? Lol
I'm not interested in getting into maritime but I am really interested in the content you put out. Great quality. I actually really enjoy watching your vlogs, I hope you keep them up till you become captain. Keep it up Captain 👍
Thats the plan actually! Keep up with the vlogs from officer to Captain and hopefully to a maritime pilot.
JeffHK il be like u lol I'm in maritime high school
Jeff, do you have any dreams yet about *where* you might like to be a pilot? [what port, river, etc.]
JeffHK my dad was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier CVN John F. Kennedy, he said I should send you this:
Poseidon, raging lord of the deep,
master of sea-storm, ocean-dwelling god.
Thundering hoofbeats across grassy plains,
white-capped waves, burnished stones along the shore,
taste of salt spray, sapphire-blue horizon,
in these we know you, great Poseidon.
Poseidon, holder of the sea's treasures,
friend of adventurer and merchant,
your hands gently guiding ships to harbor,
we thank you for safe journeys, mighty one,
for swift travel beyond our own borders.
Poseidon, we praise and honor you.
Btw the vlogs are better than anything on Discovery or any other science or history channel. FACT!
JeffHK
Do you know the Csmart maritiem training center in the Netherlands Almere I live next to it. And i was wondering have you been there. Love your video's btw keep it up 👍🏻
Your production quality is through the roof and getting better all the time. Keep it up
Thanks Colin!
Career choice is something I’ve been struggling with the entirety of high school and with some of your insight I’m starting to consider this field thank you your videos have actually brought me to field I actually feel excited about
Did you try it
Your videos have been very enlightening as I had an uncle who was a merchant mariner years ago and always wondered what life at sea would be like. Had I been aware, I might have made different choices when I was younger as a mariner's life always appealed to me. Keep up the good work as your videos are really interesting.
Love your vids. They never get boring and are always amazing. I think something that would be cool to do is a day in the life or maybe some videos teaching us how to get better at editing. This exact title is something i was thinking about when i first found your channel. Keep up the great videos
Just started "basic" maritime education a week ago, your vids are part of my motivation, so keep it up👍
I saw your page on the suggested a bit ago, and ever since I've been interested now in Maritime. Good content mate, thanks.
i'm a senior highschool student from the philippines and your vlogs have been a part of our maritime subject,it really helps to easily understand terminologies and what to expect when we go onboard,thank you sir! keep going
These are one of the best informational videos about maritime in youtube RN.
Cool and interesting channel! I've also wondered about life on a big boat at sea. I worked as a first mate on a small fishing boat for a while and loved it. Keep the awesome videos coming like the time lapse! Happy sailing🍻
Dude you're gaining muscles 😀😀
😀😀
True,very true
This is actually quite an interesting topic, I started this career mostly because I was already familiar with almost everything that involves, because I come from my nation’s navy, and I was quite happy to know that that in my country it’s free, I’m really glad I made this decision
Love your content and videos! Keep up the amazing work. I'm always impressed and love your insider footage and vlogs! Hope your travels are treating you well :)
+James Gunn 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Jeff. Im starting now in a Maritime academy in Greece. I love your videos! Could you make a video on the cabins of the crew in which you show the different cabins that each rank has? For example you show a cadet's cabin, a 3rd mate's, 2nd, chief's, captain's etc? I think it would be very insightfull and interesting. Keep up the good work!
everyone's cabin is very similar except for the big 4, which is hard for me to get into lol
That One Piece shirt is Lit!!
Ayee!
Hey, Your videos are really nice! :D The main reason I want study Maritime Engineering, is your videos! Keep up the good work ! :)
I'm appreciate your production, good quality , high educational support for the Maritime School students . Especially you want to share the life at sea by Vlog , which i'm very touching. Keep it up. Look forward for next video.
+葉宗豫 thanks!
Could you do a video on Maritime security? I would love to learn more, especially since I'm trying to become one in my life lol
kloambaum d yep lol, that's the point, you could also carry rifles as well
@nico d Most ships do not allow any firearms on ships do to the complications of international law but, some companies will hire trained professionals when the ship is traveling in known pirate waters. I'm a student a Suny Maritime College in New York just took a class so we learned all about it.
first time on the ship I was vomiting like a fountain. I will pass to work on the ship but I will watch your video. great content, mate!
Woot Woot!! Always anticipating a vid...
Love your videos man !! thanks for all the information !
Im studiying Maritime Officer (Nautical Spec.) at the moment in Flushing, NL. Your video's are really motivating me and i'm really looking forward to get on my internship as a cadet aboard. Keep doing these video's!
Update?
Your Videos are amazing! Good content, good editing, and entertaining.
Keep up the good work!
+Pedro Guedes thanks pedro!
If your videos where available for my viewing pleasure 30 yrs ago I may have made it my life but a tree felling land lubber is what I became. Though I did get to operate a small (10m) tugboat for a couple years and drove crew boats for many more. Love your videos and am happy to learn that you plan on keeping up with them right through to your pilots license, when they will be deemed a security risk. Thanks Jeff
Thanks for this. Very helpful.
Excellent well thought out advice
Hi Jeff i really like your Absolutely Quality Content u have its very educational i have seaman friends also and i know what kind of life they have inside the ship. dude i really like your drone shots, I'm glad that your drone did not Go Overboard due to strong winds haha. Continue doing this Keep up the Good Work Bon voyage 😄
Hello, bro. I'm Rifqa and I'm a Marine Science student. Your content is good!
Woot! I briefly saw my school when you showed Canada (Quebec IMQ)
Loved your content buddy ❤
For those that are interested in what life is like in maritime, I recommend episode 2 of the podcast Containers. It's not definitive, but will provide some insight. The rest of the series is also awesome.
I enjoyed this Jeff. Nice and clean!! already subscribed #NotificationGang
Your videos make me wanna join the marine. Btw, I love your shirt ;))
One piece is the number one reason why i want to explore the ocean, you're the second
Awesome man! Thanks for sharing the world the beauty of the ocean. Are you from Hong-Kong?
Thanks for another informative video
thanks for all your help jeff
Jeff you are the best.Keep up the good work.
Thank you Jeff!
About to start at Glasgow Nautical College next week and I can't wait!
yo! i wonder if you'll see this.... how did it work out? was considering studying there next year
@@aratherbadperson6937 So I actually finish be deck cadetship next week 😂, after a few covid related delays. I would say it's good but just be careful in choosing a sponsoring company as that tends to be most common reason people leave, I was a Clyde cadet but I'd strongly recommend the likes of MEF. Also with the current job market it would be really helpful to be with a company that'll hire you at the end, or maybe considering going for engineering. If you have any questions ask away.
@@8atlantic8 first of all congrats dude! and respect! a lot of the people I know who attempted it never got that far.
Sorry if this is a lot, im just stoked to have found some one on the inside.
Why engineering as opposed to deck? better employment chances?
How are you personally feeling about the job now that you've experienced the working conditions? (I've heard from some that life and labour on the ships is really shit, and getting shittier, more exploitative etc, but I've also heard from others that it all depends on the company you land up working for?)
How rigorous is the workload of the studying part of the course? like on average how many hours a day did you spend on your studies?
Was also wondering about how hard it is to get a sponsorship cadet berth / how competitive it is ? is it a matter of your academic achievements? or like overall 'worthiness'? Does the college help out with that at all?
were there any international students at the college with you at at the time? any that got cadetships? (Im actually south african, but was thinking of studying in glasgow cause here in South Africa we have a mega cadet-berth/ cadetship crisis, with very very few people actually landing up with sea-time or a job afterwards, but I found out the other day that when it comes to cadetships its more about nationality than where in the world you study (from what I saw on the chilltern maritime site MEF and Clyde are only obliged to take on European nationals. whereas very few companies still provide SA nationals cadetships (maersk abandoned us last year))
@@aratherbadperson6937 Yeah no bother, There seems to be far more jobs for qualified engineers coming up - in the UK at least, probably because engineers can easily find jobs onshore as well so they often don't stay at sea their whole careers therefore opening up jobs at sea.
I did all my sea time in the North Sea on offshore rescue and support vessels and I would say that the conditions were fairly decent even though I wasn't with the best of companies. However the offshore industry and the north sea in particular have incredibly strict rules and regulations so less likely to see that. From what I've heard deep sea (tankers, bulk carriers etc) is completely different it can be pretty exploitive but it is very dependant on the company and the nationality of the crew, Asian seafarers (India, Pakistan, Philippines, Myanmar, china etc) are generally exploited as they are willing to stay away from very long trips (8-12 months or more) and their recruitment agencies aren't exactly honest.
The course in general was only academically hard when getting ready for exams during the college phases and now everything together getting ready for the final oral exam. Probably only averaged an hour a day over 3 years but at some points it can go up to like 10-12 hours a day. When in college though you are in classes 8 hours a day anyway.
In the UK I wouldn't say its particularly hard to get a spot, but obviously the more desirable to company the harder it is. As long as you have the minimum standards for grades etc they will then then be quite interested in things that show you are hardworking, things that show leadership and commitment. In my experience anyway the college have very little to do with it.
We had a large amount of international students but all from India and Pakistan as the college has partnerships with colleges over there. They had their own courses and classes so not mixed in with the rest of us and generally they were self funded. All cadets otherwise were from the UK as a large part of the funding comes from the UK government so only UK nationals are eligible, the companies that don't use this funding like the RFA generally require you to have UK citizenship as they are supporting the armed forces. Nationality does play a huge factor in the industry, Maersk abandoned UK cadetships last year as well only companies based in the UK really offer them now. The only company I know from SA really is AMSOL and they definitely take cadets but as you said there may be limited opportunity's. Maybe best to contact the colleges down there and ask them who they've seen take cadets. Might just be worth contacting any company that has SA flagged ships as well like the offshore diamond mining companies etc. There does seem to be a lot of SAs working on super yachts so you could work you're way up to officer from deckhand on them if that's something you would fancy.
If you have any other question ask away.
You are still the only whit realy good qalitie vids thanks
Deck cadet here from the philippines.. nice video sir.. very inspiring for us cadets.
All your videos have inspired me in many ways... Thanks alot for that...😍 And I'll be joining my first vessel in october 😊
+Devinda Perera good luck devinda! my first time join was thrilling, getting excited at nothing lol
It would be very very useful if you can share information about ETO 🙂 , because you're channel is the one that provides the most practical and useful content.
Stay well 👍👍
A perfect boy u are! Thanks a lot for those awesome & educating films! Have a great time!
you are realy cool
i love your videos
especially the fact that you do it for us and not just for you.
Btw i really love your editing skills! And your music taste! Tropical House ❤️😂
your a bright young man, thank you for the info
If you're in the United States and are pursuing a deck career I highly recommend you look at Great Lakes Maritime Academy. That is where I attend and you graduate with pilotage. As well hearing from a lot of cadets from other maritime academies they hadn't even heard about GLMA and said they would have rather came here.
I love ur video ,I can learn and know something about Nev . Thanks for ur video.😉😉😉
Great videos
thanks for information
Great videos!
As always useful😊😊
Bruh! Totally off topic... but your workout gains are really showing off, keep it up!
BRO YOU'VE BULK ALREADY KEEP PUMPING! BY 2018 I'LL BE GOING TO MARITIME ACADEMY WHICH IS MY FIRST CHOICE SINCE 2010 UNFORTUNATELY FINANCIAL PROBLEMS LOL.BUT I WON'T LOSE HOPE ANG THANKS FOR BEING INSPIRATION! WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS MAKES ME MORE MOTIVATED AND PERSISTENT TO ACHIEVED MY DREAMS! I'M YOU SUBSCRIBER FROM THE PHILIPPINES BRO.THANKS!😊😊
+Slania Idos thanks 🙏 💪💪💪
JeffHK btw how many years you're in industry bro?
only 4
JeffHK bro are you still in oocl?
Slania Idos saan ka nag aaral sir pmma? or maap?
Great information, I am a deck cadet, and I certainly agree with you. All those who are planning to get into our industry must make sure it's *they* who want to do it and not the money or anything that's compelling them to. Anyway, I love myself and more than anything my career and lifestyle. Maritime is a great career choice, but that's again my personal choice!
+Caboodle well said! some of my friends absolutely hate it (in it only for the money) but I enjoy it very much, it is very subjective
Absolutely, and your content is very well done. Keep it up, and all the best for your Masters.
Thank you, I'm a deck cadet and I'm from Ukraine, maybe you know , and your videos help me in studying of English)
Video idea: I live in Halifax and have a great view of the shipping traffic coming and going from the Bedford terminal. I'd love to have an insider / informed perspective on the different design philosophies for container / RORO ships. For example what do you think are the pros / cons between a containership design vs hybrid RORO and container? And what are your thoughts on the distinctive looking 4th Gen ACL ships? And when all these ships going past my window, is there anything specifically interesting to look out for?
Hi heffhk I'm form Suriname I already have my near coastal diploma /certificate and now I most go abroad for further study.
Your video's are the best.
Thanks
Hi! my name is Kelton. I'm interested in the maritime industry too. Do you want to connect and talk about maritime?
My whatsapp is +15093709054 if you are interested, or reply to this comment.
Best regards,
Kelton
You should find a pilot or someone in the Aviation industry and do a colab with them comparing careers and training ect it would be pretty interesting
Terimakasih 🙏🏻
Thanks Jeffrey, I saw your instastory about this video. You make great videos. You're the best! Does your ship take passengers onboard? I'm looking for a cargo cruise.
+Estelle Fey nah we dont, i believe CMA CGM does
I liked the information, could you do one on the international internship program, if there is something like that?
Hi Jeff, I am planning to to join Maritime industry(more interested in engine side) and i have few questions about your daily lifestyle .(1) how much free time do you(and engine department people) get in a day?(2)what do you do when you are free?(3)do other people really talk ( i mean don't you get bored because you see the same faces everyday)? I really like this profession because It can give me space to improve my self. I like to stay alone and read books📖📚🙂.and last question do you recommend this career to a middle class Indian boy (in terms of money? Please answer and Thanks for making such good 👍your videos have really helped me. Thanks again
I just want to say thank you
The Netherlands actually has like 4 to 5 Maritime Universities.
Hey.I'm going to a university to study shipping next year and I am so excited. The only thing that troubles me is that I am a girl and I don't know how the other part of the crew will treat me or will they even respect me. So I want to ask you have you ever worked with a woman in the shipping industry? And how did others treat her?
Hey, how have been your studies going? Have you graduated already? Do you still feel that motivated as you did in the beginning? Just asking bc I’m also a girl interested in maritime
Hello Jeff. I've had this question for a while. I'm not interested in getting into the maritime life, but i'm curious about taking a freight ship trip, that crosses an extensive ocean and possibly a panama/suez canal. Nobody could answer me this yet (even sailors). What would be your recommendations? What do you know about this? I was told nowadays this is very hard since everyone on board are registered and you must be qualified. Or is there any hope, even if I apply for a one trip job on a freight ship. Thanks! great channel
Awesome
Jeff you really seem like a pleasant and cool dude to hang out with, if I ever had to be stuck on a ship for a long time ;) Be sure to come say hi if you ever come by Port of Aarhus/APM terminals Denmark, where i work :)
Really awesome video's keep em' coming :)
+Suzuki Torben thanks 😁 I would love to stop by europe, all my previous ships only travelled through mediterranean sea but never stopped at a port
Can you do a tour video of the cadet's room and the officer's room and if possible, the Captain's room to show us how it differs by rank?
cadet and officers can be seen in my video "tour of the mega ship"
Captain's cabin will be tough to get into, last Capt was good friend of mine so i could have gotten access..I will try in the future
That's great! Will check out that video, great work as always man. Keep it up! :*
Hey, one question man. Do they have monitors provided in the cabin/accommodation room already?
I always wanted to become an engineer but your videos got me thinking if I want to become an engineer on a ship or something similar
Can you explain the crew and officer jobs, duties and hierarchy? There seems to be very few people on such a big ship. How do you keep it all going?
Let's say I decided to get all my documents instead of going through school, so my question is, when I have all documents required, what are my posibity of becoming a merchant mariner sailor? I'm worried that if I get all documents necessary and willing to spend money and time to join and just to get decline. Becoming a merchant mariner Is a dream come true . By the way Jeff your videos are awesome and it inspires me a lot. Thanks!
Thank you for your videos! I am getting my CCLP I have vast experience in sales and marketing I wonder which should I apply for in maritime industry? Any recommendations please?
Do engineers get more shore leave in port compared to the deck department? Or does everyone get the same amount of time to visit when given the chance?
Engineers tend to get more flexible times, because deck department take 4-hourly watches where as engineers do 8-5 but can cover for each other.
Engineers also have watches right? So technically engineers are working more?
Every Chief Mate is unsure if laughing or crying is the right reaction :D
I just wanna say your shirt is perfect lol
Do you have manual with procedures for anchor windlass overhaul and maintenance on board? What’s the exact name of this manual. How do you prepare anchor windlass before entering dry dock/classification and class renewal survey?
Retired US Navy. Started as a boiler tech, so if I was going to work on a ship again I would likely work in engineering. I don't think I'd need to go to school to qualify to work on a maritime ship if I already have experience on 4 different Navy ships, would I?
I started studying HND Nautical science in collaboration with Glasgow.The best part is all captain teach by their experience they had on ship some good some bad but always interesting
I'm 19 and yes you are eligible for this course. People till 25 can apply for this.

My mail address
I would like to help you further.
Good day
Your welcome 😊 bro
Deck, Engine but also Hotel Department. A much easier way to join ships.
Can you make a video about how you deal with your shore leaves. Thanks
Jeff where was this filmed? I keep thinking you're filiming in a ship but the brick wall is throwing me off :)
Can you make a video saying what are the differences between Bridge and Engineers ? What program,they have salary and so on? Tnx And you have one of the best Video
What if you're not interested in a career, but just wanna go out on a few trips for some money, experience, and adventure? Is that reasonable? Or is it too big of a commitment with school and training?
I'm curious mate. Do you meet any sailors who got into it later in life (say late 20's/early 30's) or are most of the people ones who joined before 21? I love your videos. I have given some serious thought to sailing. The money, travel and time off appeal to me and I have little to tie me to home.
Hey! I can't tell you from experience but what I can tell you is that I'm 34 and will be going into it next year. I emailed the maritime school here with the same concerns and the program administrator said there are quite a few "mature" students that get into it a little later in life :)
I turned 30 mid-ways into my first year in school. I have worked about 10 years in the IT industry before I decided to make the change. Comming from Norway, I had to take a 1 year pre-requisite course to get the neccessery diplomas to be eligble to apply for Nautical Science.
Martin Laksholm @hello Man, Do you find any job afterwards? I hope you did🙂
I would like to encourage myself in my 29!🙏
Cal Maritime is great so far!
Can you give an update please?
Zach A I start there next fall for maritime transportation major
Casual Maritime
Edit: Just realized you're back at school for Chief Mate i think that sets my questions straight. I didnt catch that you'd already advanced to Second via your videos. Congrats!
Hey Jeff thanks for the video. I hope you can answer a couple questions about your experience/route.
So i know you decided to go to Australian schools because of the compressed schooling time, im trying to look into the differences between doing that and going to a longer school in the US or Canada.
I understand that you previously went to a school in western Australia to become a Third Mate (or was it a Cadet and then you advanced to Third on the Ship?). But now you're back at school in Tasmania for a ten month program to get your Second Mate? My understand (for the US at least) is that getting the Third Mates license automatically qualifies you for the Second Mates license after serving on board for 360 days as a Third. Is that not the case if you get your Third Mates from Australia? Is a period of extra schooling between Third and Second Mates required in certain countries (Australia or Hong Kong/China) or by certain companies (OOCL)? Or was it your choice to go back to school?
I ask because doing a program in the US would take alteast 3 years so a shortened Australian program is appealing. But if a 1.5-2 year program in Australia only gets a Third Mates license before requiring 10 more months of schooling to advance to Second Mates the time saved doesnt seem overly worth it.
My cadet time was awful and mental.. but my officer's time was awesome.. currently preparing for my master's oral..
what a good vlog！
Hi, man. Impressive videos. Could you compile some video on mooring operation. As a 3rd mate you should operate on a forward station during mooring, dont you? The thing is that I am gonna to make my first voyage as Junior officer (but it will equal 3rd officer, but less salary), what can you advice, regarding taking up a position.
Do you know of many(any) folks who have moved over from the navy? Would it be a decent starting point?
+Dawson Jones I had a few asked me past week! I advised them all to find out if you can transition those navy sea time to be recognised as merchant marine sea time. like email or phone up marine department in USA (forgot what its called)
Quick reply thanks!
I'd be Canadian navy though, call Marine Transport of Transport Canada?
Are there alot of jobs for electricians and private security contactors??
Yo man, I sent you a DM on Instagram about a month back. Just saying I love your content and watch it as soon as you post it, keep it up.
My user name is @chvlky on Instagram btw
+Josh White thanks man
i get like 50 per day sometimes i miss some and it gets scrolled down 😥
No worries man, I'd expect you get so many you're the only person on RUclips who brings out quality videos in the whole industry. Everyone has a question 😬
One place that seems to be missed overlooked is the USNS or Military sealift command. They are hiring, from what I've heard, have a lock of manpower/employees. Do believe you may have to be a U.S. citizen. Check out the website for more information.
A One Piece tshirt for a sailor chanel, nice touch.
Hi Jeff, awesome videos...Is it possible to get into the Maritime Industry with a degree in something other than Maritime. I am an engineer in the aviation industry but I would much prefer the water! Looking for some info!!
Hi bro.. you have an amazing channel. I like all of your videos. I am working on merchant ship also and I know how busy it is working on a ship. how do you manage your time? how do you edit you videos? It will take a lot of your rest time I guess.
+Farkhan Nizami Muthar Work is work, you do get free time. yes it does, i try my best. some people opt to relax, watch drama and movies, play games , i just choose to video edit
Hi Jeff, i have started taking ETO in Portugal (ENIDH UNIVERSITY)
Can you tell me more about the internet at the ship?
How about the max time you stayed at the sea without landing?
Thanks so much! Sorry for my english!
I'm in my 50's - curious to know whether they would even consider me at my age. Thank you very much, Jeff.
They do not discriminate I know people in the industry who are above 70 years old
