- A ship's main purpose is to transport cargo, so naturally one of the most important tasks is to make sure that the cargo holds are clean and ready to receive cargo.
Cleaning the Ship's Cargo Hold
Chief MAKOi Seaman Vlog
Hey guys! Sorry it took a while to upload. Long voyage plus no internet on our first port = late upload! Anyway, I hope you like this one. I have a few episodes I'm working on and hopefully I will have one episode every week this April. So stay tuned!!!
Great videos chief. Greetings from North Carolina USA.
Chief MAKOi
No worries 😉
Chief magkano na $$$ hatch cleaning sa mga deck ratings?
Its okay sir :) Hope will see ur next vlog sir ..Hehhee Proud marino here 🤟🤟🤟⚓🛳️..
Pinas malamang yun tinukoy ni sir na may padulas o lagay ganun pa rin kaya kalakaran ng custom
Concise, informative narration.
Background music that isn't obnoxious adrenaline-pumping rock.
No artificial suspense.
This video is a great example of how a documentary vid should be done, thank you sir! Subscribed!
Completely agree on all counts. Perfect.
craZivn exactly !!!!! I feel like i learned so much
y'cuda
I have to agree. Very professionally done. It does remind me of actual discovery channel stuff from a few years back.
Totally agree luv! ✌💗😊❣
Bribery not only raises prices for the consumer, it lowers quality. The shipper knows acceptance doesn't actually depend on cleanliness and so they could probably skip the cleaning, or at least be much less fastidious about it, and pay the same bribe and pass. Sad state of affairs in keeping poor corrupt places poor.
Obscuring this corrupt port & country allows this crime to continue - Truly sad in the year 2021 that this still happens
@@CubbyTech "grease" happens everywhere in all types of industries.
@@BangBangBang. indeed, but not even just financial incentives, for example the company i work for charges more for the same product than the competitor, but the customers like me, so they buy from us so that i deliver to them, as the driver from the other supplier is impatient and not helpful when unloading.
@@CubbyTech Argentina.
He is talking about the ports of Argentina.
@@Colt45hatchback That totally makes sense : we buy for the people behind the product, not just the product itself.
I buy most my products from my selected, favorite sellers, because I trust them, and as experience showed me, if I have an issue, they will find a solution. It's stress free and more pleasing. Business is not all about money, that's not grease, that's the price for quality customer service, and I hope you get your fair cut!
I've been in the position of being the trusted person the customer rely on and it's a great feeling too. And it drives client service up.
It is unfortunate that it is becoming a lost skill.

RUclips Recommended: *Wanna see how to clean a cargo ship?*
You clicked on it so why are you complaining
@@cranemechanic2479 I don't think he is complaining. But it's funny what RUclips recommends sometimes
and now I have got an answer if someone asks me whether a cargo ship needs to be cleaned or not.
Me: hey that's an odd recommendation but I'm game!
RUclips: boring? Let see some nasty job in the world
Next time, lock the inspectors in the hold until they pay you $3k.
Thaaats fucked up
😂
Hahaha!!
Lock up inside the cargo hole. Hahaha
They'll be dead in just 2mins.
Great video. "The Argentina Cargo Hold Bribe" also applies in my industry. When we shoot TV commercials in Argentina, the locations that were supposed to be locked off for filming are suddenly unavailable, until we pay the special fee and then everything gets locked off as it was supposed to. Many people shoot in Chile now instead to avoid this nonsense.
I had that country in mind when the question came up ,,,,,,,,,,,,
@@williampankratz600 I was sure it was my country. Goverment officials are the worst. :(
OH GOD ITS US?!? damn, I feel so bad for living here😆
Que lindo mi pais...
Russia is just as bad when filming movies people need to be bribed to close off an area and or bribes need to be paid to just to allow a camera to be turned in the direction of some buildings.
It’s Argentina- look up “Argentina Cargo Hold Bribe”
I have heard that Nigeria is even worse. They do all kinds of inspections demanding bribes for everything.
Buenos Aires!
argentina is full of pricks and actual nazis
@@MylesAwayAgain yup, I'm talking about you francis.
@@MylesAwayAgain im argentinian and thats a bold statement. There are a lot of bad people but common folk is great, friendly and always welcoming. Its just that our authorities are corrupted to the bone sadly
Cargo ship: we're all clean for inspection
Argentina: let me hold $5000
I was thinking Argentina!
i knew i am not the only one who is thinking that it is Argentina. I have been in that country and also my fellow crew and they were also telling the same story about that country.
It's the money that's dirty, not the hold
it is argentina .every voyage my ship pays 5k for holds
Get me a job
Worst trade deal in the history of trade deals
you need a better captain to negotiate it down to 3k :P
Thesoorma How do u actually get a job doing what you do or going with you and maintaining the ship
Ukraine is the same
Wow I'm glad RUclips recommended this video
It's a good video Joyy.
Lol I searched for this. I’m still young and would like to learn more about ships. Would you recommend a book or something similar to help with my learning process?
Joyy I know right ❤️
There is a 50% chance this is sarcastic, I can't tell as its a message.
I'm Loading Master in a Brazilian port and I also had been Agent years ago. Unfortunately we see very frequently trouble people representing local authorities figuring out how to get some money from the crew and I've been very embarrassed and angry about that. Even more when crew is philippine, cause they're such a hard working and good heart people, when I'm on board of a phillipine ship I feel like at home, they treat everyone like family.
My best regars to all phillipine seamen.
Hard laborer filipinos with low cost salary. Business is really unfair 😞

Hello Chief MAKOi, I'm impressed by your videos. I am a farmer in Germany. Sometimes we get food from ships for our cattle. We know these works you describe on a much smaller scale. I never thougt about, why so many seafearer are from the philippines. I learned, how well educated you are. So we continue to serve the people of the world with our daily work. Thanks for your calm, informing and nice videos. J.Behrens
👍🇵🇭
Danke für eure Arbeit und unsere Nahrung 🇦🇹☺️
Cheap labour
@@younessmghinia5225 what do you mean by this? Do you think, this work should not be done? Or you would not do it for the actual wages?
Biggest naval training centre is found in Philippines..
This video brought back some happy memories for me, I was in the British merchant navy (deckhand) for 28 years (1962-90). I would have stayed in the merchant navy until I retired, or die, preferably the later. But, shipping companies replaced us for cheaper eu seamen. Cleaning the holds looked simple, but it was hard work, especially if you were working through all night and the next day trying to get the hold clean for inspection by the harbour master and the people who's cargo was going into the hold. Some of the inspectors were okay, and some were very persnickety about a little dirt or dust still left, which meant we had to do it all again. Even then, I loved every minute at sea, through the good, the bad, and scary times. The merchant navy was the BEST job in the world, and even to day at 73 years of age, I still miss it. Thank you for this video.

Hi sir! Much respect for you. One question though. How do you learn to love this profession? Im 4 years seafarer now and each time pass by I gradually losing interest/hating my job now. I like more my passion when I was just starting. Im slowly losing motivation to continue this profession and I dont like taht to happen.
@teriyaki when you are not accepting and learning to love your work, facing the hardwork and factors affecting the life of a seafarer at sea the motivation you are looking for your self will not be found. As a seafarer for almost 21 years my little piece of advice for you is to accept with pride and love the job that you have. goodluck.
It was a very good video.
@@teriyaki_9inety9ine27 If it is making you tat sad and disinterested maybe it is time to leave . It is a dangerous place and you need your wits about you all the time otherwise something bad is going to happen . If you work on deck you could be going into port and stand in the loop of a rope or wire rope , not a good place to be .
Hope you are o.k and have found a solution to your dilemma .
Take care
Ya do know that the Philippines a not yet a part of the EU?
Imagine in fire this cargo will be a giant popcorn machine :)
But still be are going to finish popcorn before starting the movie
I wonder if the ship will expand like a popcorn bag?
Grain can explode violently if you're not careful!
If they forgot to rinse out the seawater before picking up the corn, it will be salted popcorn.
The work in cleaning the holds may appear to be 'menial', but I consider it essential for food safety and I appreciate the work done by the sailors in cleaning the holds. We are all consumers of foods that are shipped and having a safe food supply is something we take for granted. Contamination can occur anywhere so mitigating risks everywhere is important. I would, therefore, encourage sailors to take PRIDE in getting the holds clean so that we can ALL eat safe food.
Now theres just the Glyphosate and other chemicals shellacked all over our staple crops that we need to worry about.
Well said sir. Agree with you
That's right. Not long ago, just a couple hundred years, ships were constantly docking in ports with smallpox.
Bill Crowell shut up Bill 🤣
I wonder what they had in the cargo bays when they have the excavator down in there, that's not very clean
Production quality better than most television channels and it's only done by 1 man. I salute you sir.
Yes, RUclips, I actually would love to learn about cleaning a cargo hold on a ship! How ever did you know!?
Haha, great video. Sorry about the shady business practices in this unknown country *cough cough* Argentina *cough cough*
But you still watched it R sole.
Thanks for exposing what country extorts cargo companies. I'll be checking 'made in' labels to avoid supporting this.
Marcus I heard they clean juice carriers with ultra sound. I was hoping Captain might touch on that.
You deserve your own TV show .
I watched a video about cleaning corn out of a cargo hold while eating a corn dog. The circle is complete.
Huge job. Sounds like money talks everything else fails corruption at it's finest. Thanks for posting...……….
it's more like documentary than just a vlog, lot of informations i can get....
Taufiq Rizal this is a real documentary by someone with firsthand experience... all those shows out there love to make stuff over dramatic or just get everything wrong.
Thousand times I made clean the cargo holds as an A/B..Thanks for share what we are doing at ships...Also Argentina is worst place for pass the cargo hold inspections,money(bribe) talks in there..
Yes we have also faced this i was o.s on bulk cargo ship our last cargo was coal and had to load grain from argentina we took almost a month to clean it from india to argentina the passage was quite .Rough seas but still we did our very best whole crew even ch/engg &capt also participated in challenge we were very sure the hold will pass because we did very best but still people who came for inspection they were desperately finding dirt even small black patches which were very hard to find they still pointed out them and told us we will fail the holds if not cleaned again eventually we gave them 5000$ bribe which made us disheartened 😕 .
You got heart from chief, it's official then it was Argentina
I'll bet the fish love it when you rinse the corn out of the ship
Hi Chief, was wondering how long it typically takes to do a final rinse with fresh water of a single hold? I'm a firefighter by trade and operating a 1 3/4" hoseline can easily consume several hundred gpm. This looks like it's gonna require a lot of fresh water. Thanks.
They use FW only on the final rinse to make sure there won't be salt residue. In any case we usually have a lot of FW in our tanks (max. capacity about 200 tons) and our Fresh Water Generator is continuously running during sea passage (20 tons/day production).
So basically firefighters are glorified cargo-hold cleaners.
well every ship[mate has to be a firefighter..
Every seaman had a fireficht training. Because in the middle of the ocean you have to save yourself and your crew
True, until the fire breaks out and put on their fire fighting gear and turn back into heroes they really are.
We have drills weekends during all contract
Ὅρα Μή· Every sailor is a firefighter but not every firefighter is a sailor.
Every ship needs a brig so that once the extortion money has been paid....the Captain can lock the criminals up until they pay for their release.
Too much sea of thieves
Any guesses which country is it?
@@crapp0 It's Argentina. The price tag gives it away pretty easily. I have also encountered similar problems in some Brazilian ports like Santos. The biggest problem a captain has is dealing with goverment officials corruption in many ports around the world. So many different criminals in uniform, so many stories I DO NOT WANT to remember...
@@antoniskalakonas1876 Oh, south America, I thought it would happen in third world countries where corruption was common and rampant like in Bangladesh, India or certain African countries.
@@crapp0 Every country has it's own corruption problems. Baglandesh, India and Pakistan usually go after your bonded store (cigaretes and alcohol). India is SO corrupt that they have double customs boarding parties in order to take double the amount. This of course, after they present you with a document to sign which states that you have been visited by customs and they DID NOT take any bonded store items as "gifts"...
Thought there would be more seaman jokes. :/
Aidan Dolan Me to that's what I came for 🤣
A lot of my uncles went are seamen and seeing this i gained another level of respect for them.
All of us come from seamen
I want to thank you, Chief - you and your shipmates - for keeping the global supply chain moving during these dark days. You are taking extraordinary risks to your health to keep everyone fed, heated, and supplied. Stay healthy; stay safe.
Thanks again Cheif, I really enjoyed that one. Often what a crew might see as routine is fascinating and no exception here. Your cargo hold inspection protocol story was also interesting, and I've seen similar things in the international construction and oil and gas industry, and one company I worked for often succeeded where other general contractors failed as the owners had "Fixers" who could fix just about anything, including eliminating some stubbornly undesirable obstacles, if you get my drift.
Quite an eye opening video: how hard you all work in a dangerous job and the “closed door meeting” in that notorious port. Had no idea about the food grade cleaning standard. Great educational video as always, Chief!
Chuck Farley
It would be nice if all ship owners world wide, in unison, refuse to go to those corrupted ports, to force them to stop this practice. Teach them a lesson. But they need to co ordinate and stand firm and not give in.
At some point the price to go to those corrupted would be so high and a ship owner would break and grab the money
The fact is that the suppliers in the country with the corruption are the one who pays. The cargo is worth less because of the bribe.
Could be possible if such corrupt countries were very few but sadly this is the norm.
Ship owner will refuse? Cmon men thats business
And how about Brazil, guys, any report of port with regular bribes?
Thank you Chief for a brilliant and very interesting look at cleaning operations on a bulk carrier. Hard work actually, that I now appreciate much better. Mariners don’t get enough attention for the tough working conditions which they must endure for weeks at a time. You are doing a great job in educating us landlubbers about the very important work that you and your colleagues do each day.
Thanks Burton!
Nice to see your crew clean cargo holds in an organised and systematic manner. You must be one of the rare Chief Engineers that gives good pressure on the fire line, so that the crew can reach all the way up with the fire hose. Other Chief Engineers stamp all sorts of dates on the fire line, but don't deliver more than 4kg pressure. Good job.
Captain
Corruption and bribery anywhere around the globe......God bless you all chief makoi ..
I never realized all the work that you men do its very time consuming and seems difficult and very hard work thank you for sharing this maybe people will appreciate all the work you do now !!!
Some very cool shots of my home town (Astoria, Oregon) in this video. Glad I stumbled upon this channel. Thank you for sharing!
Wow you have talent my man. what a video, great soft music, great editing, great commentary.. subscribed and look forward to checking out your other videos..
Ps, never thought I'd be watching a video about cargo hold cleaning.. lol
reading the comments i noticed that is Argentina the infamous country and...
as argentinian im not impressed at all
our country is corrupted af
the country is beautiful but the people... most of them, sucks
now i can regret another thing about my country
thanks...
After the second WW2 all the nazi s went to Argentina, it was and still is a corrupt nasty country,.
Hahahah. We had to standby a few bottles of whiskey and some Playboy magazines to give away every time we pull into Indonesia, in a 58ft sailing yacht just to pass the customs. That was 10 years ago, and I believe it's still is now. Your is much much bigger, so it's going to be in dollars! Safe journey chief!
I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. Brings back good memories from my days on bulk carriers working with Filipino crew. Greetings from Norway to all my Filipino friends out there. 🇳🇴🇵🇭
As we used to say Chief.......”If you can’t take a joke, you shouldn’t have signed on!!”

Chief, I suspect that if you ever get tired of life at sea, there is a job in Documentary Production just waiting for you. Cleaning cargo holds, interesting? Apparently, so.
As a cleaning professional myself, I appreciate all the hard work that goes into what we do, be it different fields.
Excellent videos, informative well shot with great narrative, beautiful cinematography...loving them 👍👍
Too bad the Capt. didn't tell the "inspectors" to go down in the hole for another "inspection" and tell the dock to start loading.
Nah, that would contaminate the holds again 😉
yea burried that guy, thats your 5G
Very interesting insights. Keep going Chief 👍. Any clue about that country?😂pls.
Wakanda
I was over a livestock and when we went to Brazil same thing after we handed the 5000 dollars we passed 😂
Love the story about your ship "failing" its cleanliness inspection, where the situation was resolved by paying some baksheesh (in effect). I had a similar thing happen when I was running ships here in New Zealand, but the Captain claimed that one cargo hold had been damaged so much by loading operations that the ship was unsafe to go to sea. Problem was solved when a case of Johnny Walker was supplied........
baksheesh is arabic word?
Like the way you said closed door meeting. I won't say the country, but I'm not surprised. Your getting really good with that drone chief.
Argentina, I'll say it for you :)
Also Russia, if you dont have pribes, good luck leaving tje port on time.
Chief, have you had to seek any permission from the Captain or shipping line to feature the ship and crew in your videos???
OAlso two questions about the new drone... have you been able to use your drone in all the countries you visit? And secondly have you been able to actually use the drone in the performance of your duties, for any sort of above deck inspection or troubleshooting??
Same practice today in the Philippines.... Sad but true.
We did not have problems with Philippine ports. If ever there was, It's mere peanuts compared to the one the country he's pertaining to.
Philippine authority dont bribe that much, maybe 200 dollars🤣
Such a simple, honest and well presented breakdown.
Im an engine dept. Guy but i had an experienced cleaning the hold at 2 deg. Celcius temperature in Canadian region during winter time.🤣
Awwwwwe my previous vessel! Biglift Happy Buccaneer ♥️
As always, another interesting vid Chief. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Ahoy Chief Makoi, good way to watch your vlog once again. Positivity all the way. God Bless Chief.

its argentina.

Actually it's not that simple to design and build bulk carrier. Because the cargo have a motion called free surface effect, that can make a trouble for stability of ship if we not design it right. Each of different cargoes, have different calculations and designs
The corruption.. sounds like Indonesian work ethics
Wkwkw u know it
Peace from indonesia
Breakaway???
or brazil...
I guessed Africa
Mexico for aviation cargo is super bad. Not sure about ships.
Nice video! But I would have liked to understand more of the technical stuff... For instance, when you have to clean after some dirty cargo, do you have to scrub the holds? If so, with what, how, how long does it take? How does the wash water get taken out of the holds and what happens to it? Does it get dumped in the sea even after transporting scrap iron or bauxite? If you carry scrap iron, do the hold-walls get scratched? If that is the case, do the scratches rust? If really dirty wash-water filled with rust, fertilizers or petroleum residue... get's stored, where and how does it get discharged and what happens to it?
Would you consider doing a follow-up addressing these questions? Thanks! Your videos are a great hands-on insight into this essential industry that is so efficient that we don't even notice it most of the time!
Dude, what country is it????? 🤔🤔🤔 lol ..
Argentina likely
Or Nigeria
A really good video! Very clear narration, good grammar, non-obnoxios background music.

When they climb in the cargo hold to inspect close them in and wait for several hours after their batteries go dead on flashlights and ask them for a fee to open the cargo holds up
In the mid seventies I was in Okinawa working for an international company, we received all of our merchandise directly from mainland Japan. We (my Japanese boss and I) would have to deliver a token of our gratitude to the dock and warehouse foremen in order to get our shipments processed as quickly as possible to the delivery trucks. The token boxes contained cash (yen), cigars, whiskey, American cigarettes and candy...every two weeks. My boss would say ,"it's just the cost of business", like it was nothing.

Morning Chief ! I discovered your channel couple days ago , and it has been an absolute pleasure tagging along , on your journey! My only experience at a seaman's life is from my military career serving on a tugboat for something over 12 months. Love your videos , hope you're doing well !
Almost every commercial activity in Argentina is like this. It's national policy. But news laws introduced in 2018 have put a very large dent in those corrupt wallets.
Getting a heart for this comment as a aspiring 3rd year Marine Student will truly inspire me 🔥 a big salute ChiefMakoi
Inspire you to do what? You’re already doing it, as a student.
Thank you chief. As someone working in international banking and also dealing with shipping documents, it's always good to get a different perspective and understanding on what goes on out there.
