Thanks a lot chief, you are such great inspiring me. Let me know a new post about Machineries more cause I need your experience so much and morever I have already practiced on the ship as engine cadet.
nice one chief makoi.. it's inspiring and it can motivate me through this course BSMar-E.. Graduating na ako ngayon chief sana makasampa ako dyan chief.. take care always and God bless
I was a cadet engineer for 2 years on a Greek merchant marine academy, but I abandoned the career of a merchant marine engineer despite the fact that I liked it very much, because of the attitude of chiefs and second engineers on the ships I was stationed, they just wanted a person for cleaning and as a servant, and no effort for knowledge was passing on. Maybe I was unlucky and related to the wrong officers, but I pursued another career away of the merchant marine an never looked back, that was 33 years ago. You are a good man chief, and I enjoy your videos very much.
Beautiful post. I was a marine engineer 24 years ago. What a strong memories. I completed almost 13 months assignment in piece all in Asia. That year defined myself. A part of me want to go back in that time but its late now. I left my soul at the sea.
As an engine cadet, smelling like grease or diesel at the end of the day is the best case scenario, as often I ended up smelling like sewage and Grey water 😂
I remember my first sewage shower removing a suspected faulty float level indicator from an upright tank standing on a ladder. Was the tank full or not??....yep it was full!
By watching ur vlog i felt lonely coz i remember my father ... His life and experienced as a seaman ... He was a chief electrician for 13 yrs .... I missed him a lot ...Glad watching how life of a seaman ...
Many years ago when I first started my engineering degree course students were told that a degree doesn't automatically make you an engineer, it just provides the background and understanding that allows you to learn. It was reckoned that it would take five or six years work experience after graduation to get to know the art (at which point the actual degree becomes interesting but essentially unimportant). So you're right -- academics are important but not necessarily essential. What's needed is a good attitude, a willingness to learn and an ability to work as part of a team.
All I can tell you as that I learned my machines little by little. Over time I got to know them so well. Now it's who I am. They run, I run. It's beyond explaination. In the end it's a beautiful thing.
Sir Makoi Thank you sa Video na to na ilang beses ko nang pinanood. Pasakay po ko ngayong march as engine cadet. Sobrang helpful ng mga videos nyo. Godbless you always sir
PIT- Palompon Institute of Tech grads of 1982-83, wished I could end my passion as a merchant marine, travel the world free. I found another ways of very job related trades as HVAC/R= Heating Ventilations and Air conditioning and Refrigeration, but watching video like this always remind me how I attached to this kind of trades. I'm very much enjoyed what I'm doing right now in this country (USA), my journey being a trades person continues on different way dealing with costumers AC equipment during summer, and heating unit at winter. Thanks Chief MAKOi for the video.
Yes sir thats true.. Academic records is just a numbers if your on board. The important is how you manage ang act if your on ship. God bless. Happy valentines sir.
Excellent work of the engineers and subordinates of the main machine of a ship ... mainly when bad weather the rest of the crew prays so that the machine does not stop !! 👍
Chief Makoi thanks for motivating me. I am a graduating student and I always remember your lesson "Good Attitude and Correct mindset" thankd Chief Makoi
"Your academic records... they don't mean anything once you start working onboard a ship" I rewound it thrice just to make me believe you said this. This gave me serious inspiration and my face lit up after hearing these words. I've a very blotted academic record in college with several backlogs but currently I'm trying to gain as much knowledge about the engine and marine machineries as i can.
This is so inspiring. Thank you so much for the words of encouragement Chief! I may be delayed in my dream to be onboard the ship because of the pandemic but it doesn’t mean that I won’t be able to reach it. I will continue to aim high and wait for our God’s perfect timing. ☝🏻 time will come that i will be a seafarer by profession. 🙏🏻 take care always Chief, especially during this pandemic. God bless you and your crew always!
Chief thank you for this wonderful video as engine cadet I've also learned what you say in this video,you are my best mentor chief..keep sailing and God bless you all chief.
Being an engine cadet myself i could say that it is a bit difficult specially onboard ships that lack manpower. Sometimes i feel tired of being onboard yet i always remember how hard i went through just to get here and that many other cadets like me would want to take my position. In the end i just have to put my game-face on and face evry challenges that arise onboard as these may one day be very useful when the time comes that i become an officer
This really touches me Sir Chief Mak, I hope all of our kabaro Engineers have a mindset like you had po, It really moves me when sir Engine Cadet says that I’m lucky that all of my Officers at willing to teach me ❤️🙈, Hope to meet you in some other time sir, God bless always sir! 😭
i am pretty sure, This video helps a lot to the youngsters Dreaming to be a successful seafarer soon and i am one of it. Very nice content sir makoi. This is One of the best video ive seen in my intire life.❤❤❤❤
Thanks Chief for your continuous videos and encouragement. Miss the old days of crawling into scavenge spaces and inside oily bilge tanks for hours. Much love from this newly certified 4th Eng. from Kenya! 😃❤️⚓🇰🇪
Im a graduating Marine engineering student and I hope someday or in a future I could be also a Chief Engineer just like you Chief Makoi. Thank you for inspiring me again sir by sharing some of your knowledge!
My first day onboard as an engine cadet before was so traumatizing. We joined the vessel while she's anchored at Singapore. After a motorboat took as to our destination, onboard crew lowered down pilot ladder for us to climb aboard while our baggages were tied on ropes and was pulled up. After then, we only had 30 minutes to prepare and off we went to join the crew in transporting stores and spares delivered by boats. After tending the provision, store and spares, the bunkering operation followed which lasted for almost 10 to 11 hours. After that, we then went to ECR to observe our first maneuvering operation (departure) which lasted too long. It was already 3 am when everything was settled. I felt my first day as an engine cadet was hell but now, I realized that It really shaped me to a better person and engineer I am right now.
I relate very much. Though I did not join the vessel in Singapore , when were anchored there , all crew on my ship had a full 8-hr night shift for the 1st time , as bunkering was planned at the same time provisions and spares were being delivered to us.
I am also a Marine Engineering graduate although I had been onboard a domestic vessels (small type), it is true that the works there are more complicated than I was expected . Thanks Chief Makoi for this video atleast I had the chance to saw of what a machineries really look like in a larger engine room. Hoping that someday I can also onboard that kind of what we called "engineer's play ground" 🙂
It's true about grades not meaning crap once on board.. It's better to stay humble with an open mind than cocky about some marks you got at shore. Truly a lucky cadet to share with awesome engineers, I feel equally as blessed. Thank you Chief for the awesome video!
Hahaha I just saw the thumbnail again with the crescent wrench, the boy must have felt like a star! You must have given him lots of confidence to stand in front of the camera like that!
My Grandfather was a marine engineer and served on the Atlantic run during WWII. My mother told me she didn't expect to see him again. He survived and went on to work for ANL as a Chief Engineer, (Australian National Line). I recall visiting his engine room as a child. I was in awe of the machinery and became a mechanic myself. Happy days ... thank you Makoi for the reminder.
"...your academic records, they don't mean anything once you start working onboard the ship." I'm caught with this sentence, Chief. Thank you for this eye opener video, Chief! Chief, gawa ka naman Q & A na video, kung may time po kayo.
I'm soon to be an Engine Cadet, what scares me most is that I often feel anxious and not sure if I can do the work correctly. Many people believe in me that I can survive the struggle onboard but honestly to myself I'm thinking twice if I can make it. I can't stop worrying. You Chief Makoi and Biyahe Edward are my inspiration, and the videos you guys made and shared with us are helpful because it boost my confidence and becoming more motivated than I was in school. I always hoping for the best. Thank you and take care always! You're a living legend.
Es importante que tu trabajo te emocione, te guste, te lleve a formarte, la maquina es durà, però tiene su gratificación, viva los maquinistas y mecánicos de buque!
Chief firstly I wanted to say, very inspiring production. Yes it is true academics are just in a sense of formality. A true work aptitude comes with a passion and from the heart. I'm an aircraft mechanic and never extended the top of my class. Humility and discipline are my greatest weapon in reaching my tenure as of now. Great video as always! Marami ka pang maiinspire sir. 🔥👍👍
Thank you chief makoy for this very inspiring video. Although I'm not a marine engineer by profession. This video tells us to believe in our dreams and thrive for it to be successful someday. There was a saying that, "that some achieve great success is proof to all that others can achieve it as well" More power to you chief makoy. Hoping you'll be continuously making this career inspirational videos! Godbless!
It’s much like my profession Chief. The degree and the certifications get you an interview. Your references and history get you the job. Your attitude and effort is what causes you to advance. I tell folks I can teach someone the job. I can’t teach heart. You have to bring that.
Markoi. Thank you for your videos of shipboard life, and it is great that the old sea men shear and teach the youg with dignity and patients watching their content of caricature grow for the next generation of sea men. Again, a Big Thank You for shearing videos. Please take care be safe. 👍
Its true to what you said,its not being "A",excellent or valedictorian in the class but the most important is your talent, willingness to learn on job,passion n etc . theoretically yes but how your knowledge it depends on site.Iam not excellent in school.Iam average but while iam working with my patients thats where I learn to my profession as a nurse.
What you said at the end is SOOO TRUE! Having a degree is great (I have one), but that is just a framework for learning. Having the mindset that you will continually learn throughout your life and that education is never actually over, you will become the all-around individual that is needed in any profession that is being pursued.
In engine room work is not difficult, it is difficulted because some "engineers" just adandon you at you own luck, they dont know what its team work, and they dont want to be "friends" and comphreensive, the work would be easier, and environment in engine room more nice and happy, and with motivation, Better. . They are very sad people, and they turn others in sad people too. This kind of people should never be in a ship, butt... what to do? companies dont open their eyes..... these "engineers" dont care with the ship and with the people, so many times the team is never complete, they are always swapping people in the engine room team, and never satisfied, that means incompetence to deal with people and manage people. And maybe they should not work in a ship.
Tama ka sir chief makoi. Dapat ganyan mg isip yung mga ka bunkmate mo na nakaupo sa opisina.kasi tinatanggap lng nila ay matalino pero pagdating sa makina zero. Tanx
it was a very educational video sir chief. sasampa napo aq ngayun lunes baon ang mga natutunan ko sa video na ito na iiyak aq kasi yung dedication nyu sa iyung profession ay mataas. kaya susundin q yung mga sinabi mo chief "just keep the eyes on the price" and ATTITUDE
hi chief. i've been really looking forward to your vlogs. hope there will be more vlogs featuring your crew very soon. kamusta naman ang valentine's day nyong lahat?hehehe... happy hearts day po... :)
As a aspiring marine engineer and only a first year college I'm not that good at calculation but i will try my best to achieve my goals and perform at my best abilities
I'm a mechanical engr and will be bridging for marine engineering in January, thank you for the idea on what I will face after 10 months. My coleagues and friends are thinking I'm insane since I will be abbandoning my wonderful career here but I don't mind starting again at the bottom.
