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!
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
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.
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!!!!!
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 RU-vid channel for cheap points!
Please upload more videos chief makoi gaganda po ksi ng mga videos nyo at nakaka inspire One day makakasampa din ako once na pumasa sa exam ng pmma wala ng atrasan
Thank you for the memories of a time when I worked on a ship! Watching your ship in dry-dock brought back a lot of good, and hard-working, times! I very much appreciate your vlog Chief Makoi! Mabuhay and salamat po! 🤙🌅🙏
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.
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 ?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
This Got Erupted and Very Drawn down The Ship got Damaged by The other two Docks on Sea because of an Erosion ,This is a Representative of The Outer ,inner layer of how the Ships are carried ,handled and Taken care of , Because Anything happens to The Ship it's either going for Recycling or Replacement that's how they run 💯💯💪💪💪🤍🤍🤍
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.
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..
Are the weird video artifacts at 2:20 from your encoding, or from RU-vid compression? I get that there's a flicker from the lighting, but that makes it look like someone's on LSD
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.
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. :)
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.
Chief makoi panu po ba makapag apply ang kuya ko. Hes applying for messman.. I hope pede po ako makahinge ng payo sa inyo. Gusto nya po kc makaalis ulit.. thank you and god bless. Keep safe
are you still in Tuzla? we have two maritime schools in here (itu and piri reis). you can make an educational video about maritime schools there (i can arrange). applicaitons has just begun and they're promoting themselves.
