- Well here is the next video in our continuing vlog series, and in this episode I am sailing between ports on the USA coast. In this video I am sharing some things that many many of you have asked for so please enjoy. I will be back on my Maersk container ship in March making more videos so stay tuned. Thank you for watching everyone I really appreciate it. More vlogs coming soon.
You do an amazing job bringing us the details of the ship and sea. Your video compensates for the waves very well. Steering gear was very interesting. Your narration is very professional and not over detailed. Even with all the noise your audio is very clear and easy to hear. This is better than lots of people’s audio with less noise. Thanks for all you do!!
Well I got a new Gimbal and we'll be getting more equipment soon to make it even better
I always enjoy your videos. Maersk is privileged to have such an obviously knowledgeable and enthusiastic employee like you.
At 3:40 "Yeah, look at that...." is right! Thanks for posting. OUTSTANDING.
Good stuff! Thanks for simple, easy to understand examples/tours of the deck and engineering spaces. I appreciate it!
Hey, thanks for doing this! I've been forever fascinated by these huge ships and how they operate. Thanks again! You do a great job.
Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work ! Thank you
Very very cool. I love these massive machines.
Awesome. Keep em coming

Great video thanks for sharing
Hello sir,
I just came across your Channel and have really enjoyed watching. You do a great job.
But I do have a couple of questions:
1. If someone with no experience would like to get into the industry how would one get started?
2. Is that even possible?
3. Do you enjoy it and do you ever get tired of the seas? What is your schedule like and for someone starting out what is the pay like?
4. What is your job aboard the ship?
I am going to make a video about it real soon as many many ask...Yes you can....I am a QMED Maintenance
Hi Matt & Jeff I know you enjoyed your Christmas holiday and I know you hate to come back to work after being off so long but no I would love to continue watching your videos thank you God bless you both and your crew and hope to see your video soon.
If I don't get back on the railroads soon, I'll be working on coming out there to join y'all hardworking gentleman!
I used to be an agriculture inspector in the port of Boston MA - the thing I miss most about that job was going on container ships and tankers, and doing container inspections
You are doing an amazing job informing us and educating us. Thank you for all your great effort.
good to hear a positive comment, thanks
Jeff Hope you are wearing all and more safety protections
I just binged watched a lot of your videos, would pay real money to work on your ship for a couple of weeks. Lol. I was wondering if it would be possible to see a safety drill. Love your videos keep em coming.
another great video.thanx again 4 sharing

5:19 It's thoughtful that they give you a beer bottle opener in the steering room!
Thank you great videos this videos r motivation to joint MARINER’S jobs thank you 🙏 god bless
+Juan Vazquez-Torres well I'm glad you enjoy it and thank you for taking the time to make a comment and God bless you as well
I missed my calling, I should have gone to Maine maritime and been on the water when I had the chance! great vids thanks for sharing!
i always find it fascinating to go on battleships and carriers just to see the engine components.
TKS FOR SHARING 💐!!!VT.
Glad you enjoyed it ans I will continue the ship vlog series in March when I am back on the ship
Very informative...a couple more blogs and might be able to sit an examination...
The old Sea Dog would be very excited in that weather.
Very nice and interesting content. Improving on every episode. Thks for sharing with all of us....
thank you for the good comment and I will keep doing best i can so thanks as always for watching
I work in the industrial maintenance field. I really enjoy your perspective of the ship. Do you guys do HVAC/refrigeration repairs? Specifically, do you repair the refrigeration packs on the containers? Thanks!
Very interesting but the sea no I would be sick thank u
I really enjoy your videos. Yes I could hear you in the steering gear room and I could see the twistlock turned into locking position. It looks to be the same type of lock as used for holding those containers on intermodal trains. Where I live, it is possible to stack those containers 2 high in well cars. The overpasses are that high. Sadly, no container ships in Iowa.
If possible, I'd like to know more about bow or stern thrusters. Also, at about 7:55, there is a vertical set of lights of different colors. It looks like some kind of a communications hookup. Could you talk about that? I'm not talking about the phone booths. I've seen those before, under the name Hear Here, in some of the factories I've worked in.
Thanks for posting.
thanks for videos¡¡¡ GRACIAS
De nada
Interesting in the storm. In the Pacific we weren't allowed out in the big storms. To dangerous.
Make a video on refueling. Great vids!
Hi Jeff , I think I've got the right man! I'm from the UK very enjoyable videos about life aboard big ships, I retired 6 years ago as a electrician mainly industrial type work , but my last job was in a dockyard in Falmouth , Cornwall aboard R.F.A. bay class troupe carriers that were in dry dock for refit, found it very interesting work a lot of rewiring for computer upgrades and cooling systems etc. maybe you could do something on the electrical systems in ships? Ian. H.
Good idea I've actually been electrician couple times before maybe I could do some video focusing on that kind of equipment
when my daughter was 4, my family was in New Orleans. There was a fully loaded tug boat on the Mississippi, and my daughter was excited and pointed and called it a train. Of course, we were looking at the railroads looking for something noteworthy until we all figured out, she was pointing to a "train on the water".
In the past (I don't know about the present) tug boats in New Orleans were powered by the same diesel engines that the railroads used to power their diesel-electric locomotives - EMD 567 series prime movers.
Hello to you Matt and Jeff and it amazes me the things that you do on that ship I enjoy watching it every time. Only thing I know it's not easy job so all of you be very careful and have a wonderful Christmas God bless you all
Ty so much...I'm going home today...Dec.14...its vacation time Veronica...I hope you have the best holidays too.
And God bless you too always
@@JeffOnboard first of all I want to thank you for replying back and I want to wish you both a joyful Merry Christmas as well to your family happy holidays God bless you all until the new year.
Veronica Woodard exactly Veronica.there are very interesting vidéos of maersk container tanker ships
Nice video and thanks fir sharing
+Swang glad you liked, ty
thanks for watching
q&a= top 3 least favorite duties on the ship...and maybe some video of it?
We all have those things we HAVE to do at work...but don't like.
Absolutely true and sometimes they're not even bad things it's just that we hate doing it I will probably make a video and talk a little bit more about the things people ask a lot I just didn't want to do it if it would be a boring video I wasn't sure
Very impressed with your videos and it increases my appreciation of a transportation portion that up until your videos I was unaware of. How often does your crew practice evacuation procedures?
Amazing footage. i have just discovered your channel. I haven't reviewed all of your previous posts, so you may have covered this before. Having said that, do you wear a vest when you walk around the exterior of the ship? Do others know where you are? Do you wear a beacon or something? It seems to me, there might be a risk of you falling overboard and no one would know you are missing? Just curious. Keep up the good vids.
Love your videos. I'm surprised you're allowed to show the internals of the ship due to security & trade secrets.
Like what?
You caught me as subscriber!!
ty ty
Thanks for sharing your videos. I find them very interesting. I also just subscribed to your channel to see more. I have watched a few of your videos so far and was wondering if you just sail pretty much on the east coast and on atlantic ocean side, or do you sail in the pacific side and make stops on the west coast. I live right above the port of Tacoma and I see a lot of Maersk ships stopping here. Thanks again!!
Good morning and yes thank you for watching I do sale generally on the East Coast and I have been on other ships that go to different countries but I live on the east coast so for the most part you are right however in the past I have been on a few ships that did take me out to the West. Thanks again for watching
Thank for your reply . When i was on a ship for four years they carged us 10.00 a day in the late 60s going from oakland to vietnam an daygo carcie
That sounds quite expensive for the 60s wow
Hey jeff love your vids did you ever get sea sick i went out on a trawler once and was crook the whole time i was out there couldnt do any think never went out again
Just found your vids. Very interesting! I have some questions if you wouldn't mind..
1. Is there a big opening somewhere in the room where the huge turbos suck in air? The rooms always seem enclosed which I'd assume would create a vacuum because of the amount of air they need.
2. What is your job on the ships?
3. What has been your longest time at sea?
Thanks
we have huge supply fans and makes positive pressure in the space........QMED..........7 months but only 1 time...I was young
Nice job! How long have you been at sea?
The top containers are not lashed down, just those holding down pegs
How do the guys reach 8 containers high with that pole to release them for the dock crane to lift it ?
How many containers do you expect to lose overboard when the ship is rolling in heavy seas ?
How does the vessel handle shipping documents, souch as commercial invoices - packing list etc. on each container. Some vessels have thousands of containers onboard, so this could mean loads of documents, or do they handle everything on an electronical basis?
Question for you .... Do you always go back to work (on the same ship), after returning from a vacation period ?? And curious is there is a scheduled amount of time you spend on a ship, verses time off the ship/vacation ... ? "thanks".... ( Rick S. from Massachusetts)
Try sailing on the GL!
@5:49 - That is one large casting! Is the entire rudder stock cast as a unit?
Seems like the ship stays pretty steady even with the wind and waves
It's still very noticeable - especially as your unbolted belongings slide about your cabin - you always forget to secure something.
I'd be so ill! That's a really choppy sea.
lol....Merry Christmas Oakleaf
@@JeffOnboard Happy Christmas to you and yours, too :)🌟
What kind of shaft seals In the hull do you run are they packing type
This is all very interesting. What if one of those Refrigeration units on a container goes down. Do you guys as Engineers aboard ship have to repair it?
Yes the ship has spare parts and the repairs are made on the ship if it's not able to get fixed of course it gets off generally the next Port that we do have parts to fix them and that's generally done by the electrician and the chief engineer sometimes
Will you be allowed to include video of the bridge area while underway sometime?
Are you guys allowed to go on to the ports where you load?.....to get food or stuff?
how many different ships and parts of the world have you been
Hope all the lashings on the containers where tight before this journey!
You mentioned heading 230. That's magnetic; right?
Those heavy storm, aren't they powerful to ship the ship.
What's the maximum boost pressure for the turbos?
Hey man how do the containers stay in place and not tip off? Cool vid, much respect to seafarers for the guts they have and work they do. People forget we all rely on what you do in one way or another. Thank you for your service 🙏
the camara always flattens out the sea from how it really is...always....
That is really true. It seems to not show the height and depth of the waves as they actually are seen in real life.
@@Oakleaf700 you can always double the perceived size from a video… UNTILL they are tall enough to be filming “up “ at them from a large ship while plunging into a head sea …Then you oddly find yourself remembering the lyrics from Gords song about the Fitz…
How often is the rust I saw in this video, how often is that taken care of?
Okay, so the crew doesn't secure the containers themselves, it's the shore-based longshoremen who do all the cargo handling work on board? I guess that makes sense -- no reason to keep a bunch of cargo-handling crewmembers on board if they're only needed for a couple days in port. And everything is standardized now, so that makes it easy for the longshoremen. Presumably the deck department just oversees where things are stacked and such. And i suppose the company's head office is responsible for optimizing the container placement, since they know where every container is going?
yes there is a deck department person on deck as they load cargo, but you are right.
Do you get season sick in rough seas
Rough sea
Do you have much troubles with your reefer units, and when one breaks down, does your tech try to fix them at sea? 480:volt Im guessing
Yes it was run on the 440 volt system and for the most part not too bad there are little things but yes to technician which is our electrician generally goes and works on those we've had pretty good luck
The engine room is very extensive
Just found your channel!! Great Videos!! What is your average cruising speed?
steve s I heard 23-28 knots
@@rotax912 That's probably max speed. I'm guessing 18 to 20 knots.
Imagine if a rogue wave hit that thing...
How many teu is the ship looks like about a 6100
I wonder if anyone has tried to convert some of the gauges and instrumentation on ships like these into networked telemetry devices (sensors). Then you could put all of them on an ethernet and a computer could read their values remotely.
And get hacked!
Hi Andre cape Town south Africa... So you ever come down to south Africa with your ship
I have not
So are containers lashed and secured by workers from the port or crew of the ship?
The port longshoremen do it
awesome videos but what do you all eat? :D
Normal food, lol
enjoying your channel. does Maersk allow folk to join in on a journey as a paying passenger?
I know ours don't but maybe some the foreign ones do
Steve Mac very nice question! I will pay for trip on one of those ships
Which was the ship’s name??
What is your job title or rank on board?
Enjoying the videos. You asked for questions so here's one: Are there ever situations (very heavy seas or storms) where containers come loose and are lost at sea? I've seen occasional news reports or pictures of ships with badly shifted loads but I was curious how prevalent that actually is. Thank you!!
Yes it happene, but I have only been on 1 ship where 2 were ripped loose, but amazing did not fall off
What day will you be departing Houston? I’m photographer who works on Galveston bay and would love to get some pics of you on the departure
I go back early March then week after in Houston so I can let you know...
looks like in about 2 weeks from now, but I will update you....when I am in the port...I always go out there with UBER
AS OF NOW, BUT CAN CHANGE

Who lashes the containers? Ship crew or dock workers?
longshoremen
How does the engine intake air become so hot, that it needs to be cooled, beforehand?
Pondimus Maximus nice question!! It should have an intercooler
When air (or any gas) is compressed it gets heated. (It's a thermodynamics process called Adiabatic Heating.) That's what a turbocharger does; it compresses intake air, so the air gets heated. The same effect takes place in a cylinder of a diesel engine -- the compression stroke heats the air, so you don't need a spark when the fuel is injected, the air is already hot enough to cause ignition.
You may ask, why then do they cool the air, using intercoolers, before it enters the cylinder. The idea is that the more air (by mass) in the cylinder, the greater the amount of fuel you can burn --- so, the more power you get from a given cylinder. Cooling the air allows you to get more oxygen per unit volume, since the density cold air is higher than warm air.
You guys are nuts lol
Ok
I mean it Looks crazy out there and there is no way i would be able to do that . be safe i enjoy your videos.
Oh that's cool I wasn't sure what you meant but yes it can be a little crazy that's for sure thanks for watching
So creepy..seems the bigwaves carries coffin
interesting thought, lol
How much time to you get ashore when in port?
depends on the ship and port, but normally in a good port you can be there a day....Some ports only 12 hours, but the larger the ship can make it longer as well and how many cranes they use to load/unload.
@@JeffOnboard Thanks for the reply. I was on break bulk freighters in the late 60's. Not as comfortable as the cabins you have shown. We were in port longer. So I did get to explore a lot. Crazy stuff some times. Sure enjoy your videos.
Are you a a first mate! Deck hand?
Marine mechanic
Are your meals free or do you have to pay for them
Included....95% of what I eat comes from the salad bar, but meals are included yes
How does one get a job aboard ship?
In the last couple weeks I just posted a video how you can get started in the industry
Like ninjas there were 3 American nuclear attack submarines in this footage. Can you find them?
I just threw up & I'm on dry land
lol
do you get fired for vomit
