Cargo Operations On A Container Ship In Port | Life At Sea 

You're providing a unique content about the maritime industry , honestly I've never seen someone explaining the cargo operation the way you did Thank you so much

I have been a surveyor for 30 years, and your content is very good, so clear for laymen, txs for the tour, greetings from Brazil.

Yet another brilliantly made and well thought out mini documentary on the operation of the marine logistics industry. Good job

Fascinating tour Bryan!! Very educational

Very interesting description of operations. As we say in french: magnifique. Thanks Bryan.

Love your work.thank for sharing the knowledge

Fascinating! Thank you so much Brian for recommending your video on securing the storage container.

This was super interesting to watch. Thank you.

OUTSTANDING. ! 👍👍🇺🇸

Thank you for sharing such valuable information

So cool to enjoy these tours! Very interesting- it's clear you really know your trade. Impressive and thank you Bryan!

Fascinating. Loved the process information and the explanations.

Excellent and informative video, especially for folks living in a port area who quit going to sea decades ago!

That was fantastic. Thank u

Glad your channel got recommended , finally someone that shows what they are talking about. Appreciate your videos Bryan.

Fascinating work, Thanks for posting.

Great video mate....just subscribed to your channel....looking forward to the next one! Keep up the good work!

Excellent tour and description of ship equipment and cargo operations

Wow awesome great video thanks for the upload.

Great videos. Perfect content and editing.

Always interesting, thanks!

Outstanding. Keep up the good work

I have long wanted to find a video that would tell about loading containers on container ships. I finally found it. Thanks!

This is really cool! I work in the Port of Tacoma and I always wanted to know all the inside stuff. Thank you so much!!

A very crisp and comprehensive explanation, many thanks

Great video, really enjoyed your narration and detailed explanation. Thanks for taking time to provide a very informative video. Stay safe. 👍👍

Great job of explaining things.

Thank you for uploading this video. It's very interesting to see.

Thanks! Very neat to get this view of how a container ship works in port!

Very informative, and well-produced. Thank you!

That was pretty cool. Lots of hard work! Be safe!

You are doing good and provide many people.thank you very much 💕

Fascinating video of the offloading of these massive cargo ships. Many of us have only marveled at the operation, you explain it in easy to understand detail, thanks Brian!

SO UNDERRATED VIDEO. DESERVE MORE VIEWS❤️

Love your videos bud. Great stuff not many get to see.

Some of the most interesting and clearly presented content on RU-vid. Absolutely fascinating.

I'm an apprentice in the SIU and I love your videos. Very relevant to American seafarers

Watching this video I've learnt more than everyhing I knew until today. Thanks you are very didactic!.

Great video, very interesting and informative. Thanks!

as someone that wants to join this line of work (im 18) thank you very much and ive subscribed 💫 keep it up im learning

I work at Michelin in Lexington SC, we make those earthmover tires you see in the video. The ones that go on the ships are in containers and head to either Savanah or Charleston. The ones on flatbeds are headed to either Alberta Canada to the oil sands or out west to mines. So if you see them on the road you can now tell where they are headed by how they are being transported...

Excellent job without a script. Very informative. I'm no sailor, just love the big ships.....

Very informative and well done.

Outstanding Thank you so much for this look into the ways of the ship.

Such a great video. Thanks for uploading such an informative video. Hoping to see more videos related to the marine industry.

Very informative, I work in Maersk back-end, really good to know about my counterparts!

excellent presentation mate. !!!

That was really interesting and answered so many questions that I’ve had for so long. I live south of Seattle on Puget Sound so there are lots of ports around and so many times I’ve wondered how this or that worked. Like the container auto locks. I thought you had to twist them and always wondered how you twist them. Now I know! Thanks. Please keep coming at us with all the info you can share!

Good explanation of the process! I watched the video to learn about different docking processes for cargo ships and d/c of containers. It feels like I can do this job now.

That was a good video. I learned something. It was good to know.

Superb video educational and thoroughly enjoyable , so many videos are more of the same ., This was excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Brian, Den Hottinger from Seattle, A freighter from China just sailed thru , 60 ft sea off Cape Flatery in The straights of Jaun De Fuca off Wa St, heading too Alaska. They Lost , 40 containers, then , 1 container burst open into flames & the coast guard evacuated all But 3 ship hands as it crippled too Vancouver BC. 60 ft seas is mind blowing.! Great tour Brian!, 🙈

Bryan really enjoyed your very instructive videos. Thanks for posting. Best wishes from Cornwall,UK

Thanks for sharing.

Thank You

Very interesting, great video, thank you.

......this video is the most informativ video about containerships i have ever seen...thanks for showing...

Another BRILLIANT episode not only for those who enjoy life at sea but cargo operations as well... Definitely love your channel and the contents you share. Best wishes from Spain.

what I find it funny is that every control room is build to hold a lot of people working, like a normal, crowded office. but with a crew of 22 on a boat the size of a small town, you never see any crowd whatsoever

Awesome video! Love all the in depth details you give, keep it up. I have two questions that I would like to ask. 1)Do you work for that ship only or for different ships that stop at that port? 2) Do all the containers all over to the top over the hatch door have the buckles?

Awesome video.

Excellent video with outstanding explanations.

Excellent Thanks

Thank you very much 🙏

Hi, Great Videos, I'm in the Truck Chauffeur and it's Nice to see how it's all done, Thanks

Would love to see the whole process. From packing one of those TEUs with products, to it being picked up, marshaled, loaded to a ship and then seeing it delivered to the end user. So much of world trade is reliant on this, yet hardly any people see it. They just go to a store and buy something. In reality, that is the last step in a very very long and well coordinated process. Enjoying your content. Keep it up!

Very nice and informative video. 👍🙏😀

very good useful videos,thanks sir

For someone who works in logistics, in the import business in the US, it's interesting to see this all explained.

What great videos. Thanks. I sail past you guys and always want to know what is going on a cargo ship.

Very useful . I really appreciated the effort you've putted in the videos

Thanks for the great information. I always wondered why they were not top heavy because I didn't realize the containers could be loaded in hold. I was a Marine so I just rode ships. This helps.

A excellent video

This is really cool content

Crazy how all this incredible infrastructure functions like this in hundreds of places around the world, yet still often goes mostly unnoticed by the general public. Humans are wild, man

Thanks Bryan

Thanks!

Wow, what a fantastic video. Thanks for the tour and what you do. I don't think my brain could remember all of that at my age. So much different and nicer than Navy ships for sure and much more mooring lines and ballasts. I imagine the Navy has changed since 1977 and the newer ships. Thanks so much. Can't wait to see more shipboard procedures and unloading. That is so confusing.Thanks Bryan.

Very nice and very interesting video sir💯

Great videos...

Joh hey Bryan, ehm nice to see you working on mine favorite part of the cargo movements from seaside to landside, as i can call it like that. I never stopped imagine how it actually worked on the ship, i mean ofcourse i know there is a lot of unload and loading proces going on, but there is so many hidden scene about it. I mean i working on a airport at Amsterdam Schiphol, to working with planes, and know now a lot how its going up there... but i always wondering how its going on the portside, or harbor, and i even mentioned once to travel with one of this cargo ships, to see how everything is working, I mean i spent a lot of time on the sea together with mine family on the sea, but i always wondered about the cargo ships, and you just let us an little view inside of this amazing world. Thanks for that, i want to see more, so I gonna surcribe to see more of this, Or if you have any other information about traveling on a cargo ship, let me know, so maybe i still can join on a trip on a cargo ship, Greetings from the Netherlands, maybe one day see you on the port of Rotterdam! Nicely done vid!

Great video 👍

Another banger bro

Great and informative video, thanks! When is all the rust cleaned up and taken care of?

Lovely

Great vid with lots of detail. I learned a lot of totally new stuff which is always great. I had always wondered if the containers were just carried above deck or they extended into the hold. Now I know. Thanks.

Very good video.👌🏻

Very interesting video. From 1982 to 2010 I was involved in managing an overseas publishing center in Manila which relied on containerized shipping from the US for nearly all of our paper, ink and other supplies and used containers to ship our finished products around the world. Containerized shipping is now taken for granted but didn’t get standardized until the 1970s and it more than anything else is what changed the world economy because it became less expensive to manufacture in Asia and ship to the US and Europe via container ship than to produce products domestically.

We were on the "shore" side of this business for a really long time and its so interesting to see how these aspects actually work. I understood it in theory but its so interesting to see it actually happening. Also had a friend who was known in the biz as the reefer king which sounds totally different if you don't know it's because his customers shipped tons of frozen chicken hahaha

Thank you for your video, really liked it. What's the purpose of the two mannequin seen at 13:53?

very cool seeing this man, because of the current market in the industry and stocks going to the moon its nice to see how it works off paper. Thanks for making this! BTW, have you bought any containerstocks?

That was great, thank you! I'd love to see even more detail about the twist-locks for allowing a container to rise, and what exactly goes on, on the wharf after grounding. Which twist-locks stay on the container as it is unloaded? And also, for example, is there one person on each end of the containers removing the lashing? Are they lashed at both ends, and does that person go back and forth, unlashing each side? Also to clarify, do you work for Maersk as part of the ship's crew or who then? ( I mean you had ship-office access, for instance....) Also, row 84 confused me. Aren't there say, usually 20 or fewer rows of containers from port to starboard? I really appreciate this video, thank you again!

Will be interesting to a lot of people as, in particular after the ONE Apus incident, there are a lot of questions about cargo lashing. I had a couple of years on a container feeder on charter to Mærsk back in the early 90's. I had my last feeder in 2003 before I left foreign going and had the last years before my retirement on domestic ferry services. Containers are efficient, but as one that startet at sea as a fifteen year old back in 1963 I did miss the General Cargo vessels. More time in port and less stress.

Very interesting view of an operation the average person never sees or imagines. Thanks! (Wish the last walk-around had been s bit slower 😊)

Ended up watching videos like this because of everything going on in the Suez at the moment, and just realised this ship is the Denver, which I'm pretty sure was the ship directly behind the Ever Given when it got stuck. Considering how many container ships there are in the world, what a weird coincidence!

Great video! I am in maritime school studying to be a deck officer, but it's hard to visualize what actually happens. Thank you for explaining what actually goes on in the industry. My dream is to be up in the bridge soon!

Thank you Bryan for the simple and very informative explanations in your video. Looks like there are many ways to make an error in taking off the wrong container. Does taking off the wrong container happen often?

Well presented video mate! I didn’t realise how a big port USSAV actually was. What’s the largest vessel by TEU capacity that can dock at Savannah?

Why is there a specific reefer load plan? What is a spring line? Usually is it about 1/3 container cargoes loaded on deck & around 2/3 container cargoes loaded under deck? Are dangerous container cargoes always loaded on deck? May empty containers very seldom together with stuffed containers be loaded on same container vessel or most likely are empty containers left behind the port & wait for cargoes? Would bunkering be performed at the same time during cargo operation? If yes, is it dangerous and not normal? Would forty-foot containers be stowed in the same row or even in the same bay? Are forty-foot containers (FTU) stowed separately from twenty-foot containers (TEU)? How to stow flat racks & open top or open side containers on board? Thanks.

Great video! I’ve been working shore side in the Houston area and thought about night mating on the side.
