Onboard Container Ship (HD 60fps) 

In case any of you are not aware...this is video #5 in my ship vlog series. I am currently on #24 which was posted this week so please check out the other videos also, and I will post ship vlog#25 in about a week or so. In March I will be back aboard and continue making new videos so continue so stay tuned, and thank you all for watching, and check out the other videos from the ship too. I think you will like them. --Jeff

Thank you for the Great Video. For me this is real close to my heart. My father sailed for APL / Sealand when I was a kid. He said he would bring me along for a Pacific trip to Japan. He never got the chance to do it. He passed away. He was a third generation Merchant Marine and a Captain. Thanks aging for the Memories

Thanks to these awesome vlogs, i now have that bug again lol. I miss the sea so much now. Was in the US Navy for 6 years aboard CVN-70 USS Carl Vinson from 1998 - 2004 as an Aviation Ordnanceman, and now, at 41 years old, i would give my left eye to be abaord the Montana with you as a crewmate (shipmate). I miss the smell of salt water in the air, the spray of the sea during storms, the sound of the gulls overhead close to land, the sunsets and the comradarie. Im probably too old for Maersk operations now but sure would love to be out on the sea again. Thanks for sharing your vlogs with us. Fair winds and following seas.

Thank you for this. Looks like you can fit many more containers onboard.

Great video. I appreciate the tour of the spaces that you don't normally see. Just amazing that anyone can make sense of all the pipes, valves, cables, fitting, and so forth- especially behind bulkheads or under decks. I still don't understand why there isn't a conning room or wheelhouse at the front of the ship to help put some eyes on what's ahead. I can see needing the bridge and it's wings aft during mooring but not underway, especially with containers stacked high and in heavy shipping lanes. Would be like driving a pickup truck from the rear cargo bed while trying to look around a load of appliances still in their boxes!

It’s remarkable how neat and clean the boat is kept.

Thanks for this I am a current merchant seaman I will be bringing my 36 years going to sea retirement on October 30th 2019

nice video

I dont know why it was recommended to me but it's facinating :)

This is unbelievable ! These guys have got brains.thankyou.the pressure from the sea with all of that weight bearing down on the bottom must be frightening.

This was a very interesting video. Not often do you get to see the inner workings of a huge cargo ship. It still amazes me how they can navigate such a huge ship. I doesn't seem like it can stop on a dime.

cool

Very detailed video. For people like me, who have never been on such a ship, I must say, it is quite dangerous life but for the sailors it is just another day. Thanks for showing all & everything with such care.

I was an AB for over 40 yrs, sailing on most types of ships, container ships are the most boring for an AB, had the good fortune to sail on a few Maersk gas tankers in the mid 80s carrying methane worldwide,good ships withgood food and plenty of overtime, retired now and reside in Thailand.

Wow engine room clean no oil on the floor. I worked in a dairy... with someone who was on container ships... He always told how clean CS were now I believe him . Appreciate You.

A floating city. Amazing!

I like the video. The Maersk Montana is a beautiful ship. 🙂🙂🙂

Very cool. I enjoyed the engine room the most. So many moving parts to keep those ships operating. Impressive.

amazing, awesome, wonderful thanks for the great tour of your colossal vessel

How impressive this all is, it keeps men and women to keep this all functioning... Personally I couldn't work in such surroundings , but have that much more admiration for those who can. Thanks for this tour.

I am someone who sees a building and wonders what the rooms are like behind each window. Your tour of the engineering spaces and minor quarters was exactly what I was hoping for ! Thank you for your attention to the details. Quite interesting.

Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for showing us around your ship.

Looks fairly decent, I must say. Not a 5-star hotel, but it's a job, not a holiday. Looks like Maersk takes pretty good care of its staff.

My husband worked from 1970 - 1996 for ACL then Maersk sea port. This video brings me fond memories. Thank you guys!!!

As a sailor (Sailboats) I am always amazed at how connected all sailers are even hundreds of feet above the water. Great series my friend

I live not to far from Port Everglades, i jetski there all the time. I like following the ships out. When they finally get out of the cut and released from the Tugs and the ship gets underway, those big props just flatten the whole ocean behind it.

Great video for us to see the life on a container 🚢 ship very interesting job

I like the poker hand rankings written on the dry erase board in the lounge.

I really find container ships and the life/environment of the merchant marine truly fascinating. Thanks!

Sometimes I wonder how it is that I belong to the same species who developed such sophisticated technology.

thanks for taking the time to show me around your ship. very interesting. best regards from the atlantic coast of ireland. chris

Thanks for the great tour of your ship. Thanks also to Maersk Line for letting us see a working ship. It is so clean and organized a truly amazing piece of machinery. Happy Trails

Absolutely fascinating!! Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Thank you for taking us on the tour!

Thank you very much for showing your experience on board container voyage. I so happened had the same experience on a 72 days around the globe . An experience and adventure which I will not forget.

Matt - never saw a tour like this ... could not believe the engine and generator rooms huge !! also surprised about the work shop as well --- thank you !!

fantastic video showing so much of the internal parts of the ships, huge engines. I did work for the Zim Israel shipping line for 2 years, doing container control at our Felixstowe offices, I used to meet the captain when the ship was berthed. and I went on board to check # paper work # was in order for Customs etc. Used to stay overnight in a cabin because the ship was due at 19.00 hrs, but usually later. this was a smaller one of Zim ships and they have large container ships going West or East. but Zim ships were not the size of Maersk line vessels. great video you made, thanks

Awesome, so neat and clean. Spacious too, not like a Navy ship where there is ten pounds of stuff in a five pound bag.

Loved it, amazing. Impressed with how clean everything is on board

Outstanding tour! Great job thank you

Good video, thank you. Everything is so neat, clean and orderly which I suppose is crucial on any ship.

Enjoyed the video. Great narration. Thanks.

Watching from Jamaica, very interesting video, thanks for the tour.

Did my internship on a Maersk ship when at Cal Maritime as a first class midshipman. Not the Montana but the Lexa and the Laust back in the late 80's. Got to ride out with the pilot as well! This brings back memories...Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me, enjoyed your tour. When I was 10, my Family was on our standard two week Vacation in New Hampshire. We met and became friends with a Merchant Marine officer, who was an Engineer On the Tanker Gulfknight. He had a cottage next to ours and we invited him on several boat trips. He was a true Sailor , born in Norway. This was back in the mid fifties, and Mr. Stenslin made a very strong impression on myself and my Family.

Looked like the main propeller shaft was going about 50 RPM. Thanks for posting this video.

Amazing video ..for years I rode the Ferry in New York Harbor and always seen a Mearsk ship so big and bad ass ..thank you awesome !!!

Fascinating education Thanks from Wendover UK.

It's always enjoy to look at the ships that you bring to us regardless which ones they are all I can say is thank you so very much and bless you all🌊🚢🙏

Nice job on this video very informing for one who never been aboard.

The quality of this video is outstanding

Nice tour, always wondered what quarters were like on a cargo ship, thanks for the great tour!

MM1USN Retired. Loved the tour of the ship, especially the engine room. I’m used to boilers, and all the associated steam equipment. Thanks!

Excellent!! Thanks for the wonderful Video.

I love these videos - so cool and relaxing. Thank you for sharing ♥

I improve my knowledge about ship Thank you

I hear rhythmic patterns as you descend the stairway into the engine room and while browsing the generators. Great tour of a nicely kept ship.

Thank you ! That was AWESOME!!

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for your great tour

Many thanks. I've wondered about this just lately.

GREAT video. Growing up on Boston Harbor I've watched hundreds of ships pass through. From the SS France, QE-2 to LNG Tankers and Cargo Vessels. I never realized all that goes into one of these engineering marvels.. Thnx for the post..

Awesome videos! Thank you for sharing!

How impressive. Very neat and tidy it looks.

Awesome walk through! Always wanted to browse around these ships. Thanks for the tour

Awesome video. I’ve always been fascinated by commercial ships and photograph them whenever I see them. The engine room was especially interesting.

Awesome video. I would love a job on a ship like that. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos.

very well done. i enjoyed the tour very much.

Thanks for the fascinating look at the inner workings of the Montana

Thank You for sharing the nav bridge. I used to work for Kelvin Hughes and Mackay Marine so I spent most of my time working on nav bridges and I do believe that I worked on your radars at one point in time in the last 10 years. I saw a dirty S-Band antenna up there.

Great video! Thanks for the work.

Fantastic and educational video, thanks for sharing.

Amazing... I Always Loved Ships almost as much as I love Aviation. Been on many a Cruise ship...while folks watched the shows I Bribed my way with Engineering to take a peek at the Powerplant....Amazing... the Fuel is like Tar...Preheated to like 200F to flow to the injectors.... Amazing machines.

What a great insight into life on board a container vessel, many thanks for showing. uk viewer.

Maersk Montana! Built in 2006. Love the action room/engine room. Loved the turbo on the aux engine. Think I counted 8 cylinder pots & 8 injectors to the main engine. I'm a truck mechanic by trade however I am now an exercise consultant (bachelor in sport & recreation) and naturally I loved the GYM! Here's my tip for you and it's not gonna cost you a cent. Ask the skipper/boss to invest in a Rowing Ergometer. It is the best piece of cardio & all-body strength equipment money can buy. If you want me to show you how to use it - then your boss will have to employ me. Loved the movie room! 20:29 - how romantic - the love boat...What fascinated me about your sweet vid is that I didn't see one fellow worker on board. Are you the only employee onboard? I guess nobody was working on Thanksgiving 2017...

Man, the machine shop and engine room are clean as a whistle!

Hi Matthew! Thank you so much for letting us take that tour with you. I absolutely loved every minute of it. Fascinating! Many, many thanks. Kate

Thank you. Very informative.

I enjoyed it great tour can't wait to see more thanks

Thanks I very much enjoyed your video I've always wanted to see the inside of a ship thanks again did a great job appreciate taking your time out to do it

Fascinating!! There’s so much that goes into these beasts.

Fascinating !!! Much enjoyed and appreciated.

reminds me of my days in the Navy ...

florida beaches are amazing

Thank you, for a fabulous and informative video!

Wow, great first hand look on a shipping container!

Superb, thanks for uploading

Most interesting video, Thanks

Very cool man. Thanks for sharing. In other life, I think I could enjoy a career on the ocean.

That ship looks pristine. Beautifully maintained. You and your shipmates can be very proud.

One hell of a row boat.

i was surprise man a boat without a crew lol...but its was amazing :)) a very nice walk on board..

Thanks for giving us a tour. Much appreciated. I love big ships.

I'm amazed at the level of cleanliness all over the ship.

This video was so great and fascinating that I got angry when it was over

Very interesting, thank you!

Thank you for sharing.. !

Thank you for the experience of being there

That was amazing!! I've always wanted to know what those ships look like! Our Company Liebherr Mining ships a lot of containers and equipment back and forth!! Thanks for sharing and look forward to checking out your other videos!

nice thanks for sharing..

Awesome video - it’s amazing to think that this is pretty much what’s inside every big ocean going ship!
