From a retired Midwest US farmer... we fixed everything we could, I love the self efficiency of an operation... But these things are floating cities, unbelievably complex!!! You are a magician sir!!! Love this stuff!!!
I’m a pilot (aviation) out of Long Beach airport in Southern California and it is so mesmerizing to see all the huge vessels come into port from the air. You have a very interesting channel and I hope to meet you next time you come to Long Beach! Bosco
my Dad was seafarer for 35 yrs before he retired. he was 3rd engineer if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for your videos I saw a glimpse of what it is like for him when is aboard a ship back then.
Great video Chief! i would love to see a detailed video on powering up of the machinery/systems of the ship when she is floated again! it would be very interesting!
Stumbled on this channel when I was trying to find information on the Evergreen to show my husband. Find the videos compelling..have been viewing ever since. An excellent and informative place to channel.
I just watched a video on a fishing trawler from Scotland, went in for dry dock, two weeks after complete overhaul it was going thru the English Channel and lost steering, it was towed into a port and a diver went down and found the rudder was totally gone, it was some where at the bottom of the English Channel. They had to special order another one to be fabricated which took a long time. So much for complete inspection at dry dock. Keep up producing great videos.
Hi chief, I been working at shipyard in Singapore for last 6 years, currently I'm undergoing marine engineering studies to get my license to sail. Will be going onboard as cadet in around November, your video really helps me prepare for the upcoming challenges, thanks!
Thank you very much for this video. I used to work at a shipyard as an accountant and we build sometimes up to 3 vessels at once. And I used to walk around the building site and the slipway and this brings back many fond memories.
Another great video! Drydocking is quite a procedure but necessary to keep ships seaworthy, without proper hull, engineering and electrical maintenance, among other tasks, you could wind up in the middle of the ocean in a no go rust bucket..and of course that has happened. Thanks for another outstanding and informative video, keep up the great work!!!
Sir, I love all of your videos. I do heavy commercial/industrial hvac. So I know how much work goes on during a shutdown. You guys are rockstars. Its evident that leadership come from you. Keep up the great work and keep up with the awesome videos. You guys are awesome!!!!!
I am impressed by how far you disassemble things. It seems like you guys take some of these things 100% apart, including even gauges. And I never would have thought motors would have the coils re-wound. I figured if it got to that point, they just replace the whole motor. Must be an incredible learning experience for new crew members to basically re-assemble all these components from scratch.
Hey.. as a marine engineer once myself, I can attest to the various kinds of overhauls which are carried out on board, even complete overhaul of the motors to check/clean. It is important to note however, that I myself had never personally experienced coil re-wounding and even in this video it is being carried out by the shore personnel.
0:25 that big gray ship across the channel is the Spanish Navy LHD ( Landing Helicopter Dock ) Amphibious Assault Ship Juan Carlos I L-61 from Naval Station Rota, Spain. Guess it was in the yards getting worked on. That ships is similar to our United States Navy Wasp Class LHD ( Landing Helicopter Dock ) and America Class LHA as well as our former Tarawa Class LHA ( Landing Helicopter Assault ) Amphibious Assault Ships that carry U.S. Marines into combat with their Marine Expeditionary Unit-Special Operations Capable ( MEU-SOC ). A few examples of these are USS. Iwo Jima LHD-7, USS. Tripoli LHA-7, and the former USS. Saipan LHA-2. All awesome ships! Too bad Saipan was decommissioned and scrapped. Interesting catch in the Harbor Chief.
Very informative! Must be comforting to know you're starting out on a ship that has been gone over so well! I've been on one that I'm sure hadn't seen a drydock in years! Everything went out on it between Ft. Lauderdale and Savona, Italy. A piston caught on fire just as we entered the Gulf Stream and the whole engine shut down in a terrible storm in the Med where they had no control over the ship. It wallowed between the huge waves and listed to dangerous degrees. In that storm, some ships ended up on land. It was all over the newspapers. One cargo ship was sinking near us but with no engine, there was nothing we could do. Very lucky that time! Shows the need for serious dry dock maintenance!
Great video Chief, another outstanding view of the shipyard grind. I love the smell & taste of drydock blasting grit in the morning...it gives me a jolting flashback, and an overwhelming desire to be back at sea on watch!
Great vlog as always! That was a huge ship yard! Mamma Mia! I hope that no pirates will come. You are soon to pass the gates of hell I see. Stay safe, and be safe!
Your video reminds me of the days working in a shipyard doing ship repair. Tough and demanding times but I definitely learnt a lot during my time there. :)
Wow, what an eye opener. Beginning to see these vessels are as or more complex than a large aircraft and with similarities in the criticality of its systems. Amazing and very educational. Thanks Chief!
I learned how good duck tape really was in dry dock. We had some work done on the fresh water tank. When finished it was tested at 20psi for 24 hours. Eight hours into the test a pipe that was supposed to be connected to the fresh water system, but had been missed some how sprung a leak. It was a four inch pipe covered by duck tape that held for eight hours before failing. A four inch stream of water made quite a mess. No one could believe the tape held up for that long.
thats a tough job chief, u guyz never get tired of performing all these tasks one after another, sign on ,off schedules are a hectic job ...on top of that.
Another great video Chief! While I always thought it was interesting to see the ship out of the water, that was the first day. The remaining days were a nightmare, especially if the crew was quartered aboard. Noise, noise noise! 7 X 24 never-ending and nowhere to go and get away from it. I know they are important periods in a ship's life, but I was always grateful to get out to sea where you could find some quiet when not working! :-) Stay safe Chief.
We have a saying when we do drydocks: do it once, do it right. This because during drydock you do not have time to waste. One of the things that makes you quite discomfort during drydocks is the lack of air conditioning, you are lucky if you have ventilation. I did drydocks in Bahamas, Malta and Singapore and is not very pleasant.

I was on a nuclear submarine and w e did an 18 month overhaul. We worked 100 hours a week for weeks at a time. I was really glad to go to sea and only work 12 hours a day.
Years ago I had to deliver something to a cruise ship in drydock. I was awestruck by the enormity of the ship now visible below the water line, it overwhelmed me.
I hated dry dock. Was onboard the USS OKINAWA (LPH-3) we went into dry dock at Long Beach Naval Shipyward for 9 month for an overhaul.. We were required to live on ship during this time. After a few months I was more than ready to get underway again.
Hey TUZLA is actually one of the best Shipyards in the world. It's not like an e-bay purchased dodgy LED light you can criticize on your RUclips channel for cheap points!
Great video. Your Ship is very clean even in Drydock. One can tell there is a lot of Love given to her. Complete antithesis of a Man Of War in drydock. Have you followed the disaster of the USS Bonhomme Richard ?
Are the weird video artifacts at 2:20 from your encoding, or from RUclips compression? I get that there's a flicker from the lighting, but that makes it look like someone's on LSD
Great video sir as always..It inspires many sailors to make their own documentaries too including me Hmm....By the way,I had a wonderful experienced drydocking in Turkey too, ( Sefine Shipyard)Yalova,Turkey last 2018..Every night roaming around chillin in the city of Yalova..Bite a piece of delicious back lava there sir..
Some serious flickering and artifacting, probably due to the fluorescent lights. If you're using Sony, check your anti-flicker settings, if you haven't done so already.
I also have his ship in my Marine Traffic fleet, wasn't very hard to figure out. Please don't dox him though, I'm sure the Chief blurred the ship name in his videos for a reason.
I thought so for a second, too, but upon closer inspection, it's the (H) painted onto a darker background for the helicopter landing pad. That is, if we saw the same thing.

If he was sailing for 35 years I'm certain he would have reached the Chief position ^^
You reminds me of my dad who was a chief engineer too.. looking his days work through your video. Thanks a lot 👍
Great video Chief! i would love to see a detailed video on powering up of the machinery/systems of the ship when she is floated again! it would be very interesting!
Thanks for providing a view into a world I would otherwise never see. I find it fascinating.
One more great video from you Chief.
I admire you and want to be like you in future.

Hey Chief Makoi , Sir i am also a marine engineering student at Tuzla İstanbul and when you say we are in tuzla , i feel very good feelings . Thanks 👍

Great video. That shipyard was big. Looks like the prop is bigger than our 34ft. sailboat. Thank you for bringing us all along.
My director at the maritime school always says that you can learn more in a week at dry dock than in two months at sea. I can see why now.
hopefully you don't go as a cadet, spent my first time in the yard overhauling rocker gear and cleaning exhaust pockets.
Best time to do line drawings for qualifications.
Indeed
Great video Chief. Enjoy seeing what goes on at the dry docks.
Thanks for posting Chief MAKOi
Always great videos 👍
Glad you enjoy it! I see you're almost at 100K subs now. Great job!
Chief MAKOi Thanks I really appreciate it! I might get there this month 🙂👍
You content cannot be matched Sir!! 🔥🔥🔥

I have said it b4 and i will say it again this is the best channel on youtube.thank you chief!
Great vlog as always! That was a huge ship yard! Mamma Mia! I hope that no pirates will come. You are soon to pass the gates of hell I see. Stay safe, and be safe!
Thank u for sharing your video, it inspire me much to stop being lazy while doing different kinds of job orders
Your video reminds me of the days working in a shipyard doing ship repair. Tough and demanding times but I definitely learnt a lot during my time there. :)
You are an excellent teacher as well as a knowledgeable marine engineer.
Wow, what an eye opener. Beginning to see these vessels are as or more complex than a large aircraft and with similarities in the criticality of its systems. Amazing and very educational. Thanks Chief!

I expect that dry docking is the most hectic and busy time for you and the crew. Thanks for this most interesting video and safe onward travel.

Looking forward to seeing that polished prop!

Thank you for sharing your video.
Hi Chief sa Tuzla rin kami mag dry dock ngayon 3rd week of Aug. 2020.
I was on a nuclear submarine and w e did an 18 month overhaul. We worked 100 hours a week for weeks at a time. I was really glad to go to sea and only work 12 hours a day.
Years ago I had to deliver something to a cruise ship in drydock. I was awestruck by the enormity of the ship now visible below the water line, it overwhelmed me.
I expect that by now you're afloat again! Thank you as always for taking your work and personal time to make and share these films!
I hated dry dock. Was onboard the USS OKINAWA (LPH-3) we went into dry dock at Long Beach Naval Shipyward for 9 month for an overhaul.. We were required to live on ship during this time. After a few months I was more than ready to get underway again.
I wonder how busy you'll be fixing things after their repair work.
I'm actually impressed that the jobs that the dock workers did were quite good. Unlike in other shipyards.
@@ChiefMAKOi it's cool to see other channels that I subscribe to here.
@@ChiefMAKOi It's amazing the amount of work to get finished in time. Hats off to you and your crew and all the contractors involved.

Nice video everytime you upload your video its so amaze me keep it up bro!! Your subscriber from malaysia✌✌
You can never do to much maintenance, the more that is done the less the chance of a breakdown..,Salamat Chief!
@Cheif looks like you and your crew are making excellent progress.
Welcome to Turkey Chief makoi 👋🇹🇷 naka drydock din kami dito🚢 God bless!
Great work! Honestly my favourite channel.
I gain a lot of knowledge as a engine cadete.Hoping maka sampa soon 🔑
Every video you make, makes me more sure and sure that I want to become a mariner.
Great vid,great work sir,your work is inspiring to we young marine engineering students💕💕
Thank you chief for a very nice and informative video ship on dry dock.
Stay safe out there chief makoi and fight big waves comment from nash grengia your ship is the strongest than the big waves chief makoi👍👍👍😊😊😊😊
Very interesting Chief, thank you for sharing and safe voyages ahead sir.
Great video. Your Ship is very clean even in Drydock. One can tell there is a lot of Love given to her.
Complete antithesis of a Man Of War in drydock.
Have you followed the disaster of the USS Bonhomme Richard ?
I have done many turn around's in a power plant I worked in for 34 years.
Nice
Thanks a lot to provide us such great footage of machine side its a great effort from you and i appreciate it 😊😊😊thanks a lot
Mr makoi u r video well shot and we'll edited voice over... always waiting for ur vlog good luck.... From India
Made my day during Quarantine... 😊
I am going to be chief engineer in a few days. Love your videos and insight
Great jobs chief MAKOI...greeting from Uruguay
Thanks for touring us to seafarers life
Very interesting and informative as usual.
Thank you for the knowledge chief.

Are the weird video artifacts at 2:20 from your encoding, or from RUclips compression? I get that there's a flicker from the lighting, but that makes it look like someone's on LSD
worse part of the job doing dry dockings always a massive rush to get the ship out, then the mammoth effort getting the ship cleaned up afterwards
Chief, it is useful lesson as usual.
Great content Chief, thank you
Saludo ako sa mga pinoy natin dyan..ang gagaling ninyo!
Started to watch all your video's 😍👍
Imagine getting a heart from my inspiration chief makoi

Your team works like a well oiled machine. Impressive to witness.
IngAt Lagi chief MAKOi💯
Awesome chief 😃
Nice view of TCG Anadolu from the ship!
When you are in dry dock and sitting on blocks. How are the places painted where the blocks are?
Love the channel chief. But I was wondering how do they paint the area of the hull where it's sitting on the blocks.
They dont until the next dock where it moves slightly from the previous one.
Very interesting as always. Thanks!
Some serious flickering and artifacting, probably due to the fluorescent lights. If you're using Sony, check your anti-flicker settings, if you haven't done so already.
Shutter speed was too high. I forgot to set it up before I handed it over to one of the crew so he can shoot the video instead while I was busy. 😊
thank your dor this vlog chief Mak👊
Maybe you can do a video on what it takes to restart all the systems on that ship.
A little bit the opposite in the fishing vessel if we are in the drydock,
Astig mo chief 😎
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo mestre !
Good information on the work in the dry dock
I follow your ship on Marine Traffic, stay safe.
What is the name of his ship?
I also have his ship in my Marine Traffic fleet, wasn't very hard to figure out. Please don't dox him though, I'm sure the Chief blurred the ship name in his videos for a reason.

*stay safe and stay healthy chief*
Curious, in the opening drone shot the rust pattern on one pair of hatches looks like fire damage.(?)
I thought so for a second, too, but upon closer inspection, it's the (H) painted onto a darker background for the helicopter landing pad.
That is, if we saw the same thing.
