Sir I am kindly request sir you want upload Electro technical officer job life and story sir please sir you want upload sir I am a BE EEE holder I want join ETO course so you want upload sir
@@nazarenopondoc7873 I was surprised. They release the mooring lines! I thought these ships were responsible for continental drift, towing entire continents about. ;) Seriously though, calm and thoughtful voices educate, idiots screech and bellow.
As I was an engineer away at sea this guy certainly ,shows what it is all about,some of the best years of my life,will never regret one minute,,,! Thanks for bringing back the memories,,,!!
Great presentation! I am a Deck Officer in the US Merchant Marine and after more than 30 years, I have finally seen the engine start from the Engine Room.
Chief you have great skill of representation..😍 The way you explain is very simple and easy to understand.. one last wish to sail with you at least once.. Love from india💗
I came in thinking that this was going to be "just another engine starting/running video". I was very wrong. Nicely shot and expertly yet simply explained. And the bonus time lapse is always an excellent addition. Well done, good sir.
Thanks Chief, I much enjoyed that, more edifying and heartwarming than Game of Thrones. Having been a powerhouse and gas compressor plant operator for several years. Your essential systems are similar to Fairbanks Morse OPs, GM EMDs and even GE Frame 5 turbines, and I'm sure the intuitive bond an 'Operator', or in your realm an 'Engineer' develops with his engines as almost living machines is the even more intimate when it's the sole piece of equipment that moves your voyage and your lives depend on.
Thanks Jack. That's true. Even with all the noise in the ER, you can tell something's wrong because something sounds slightly different. Even when in my cabin if I feel the ship's vibration change or suddenly the humming sounds change, I immediately call the watchman and ask what's happening.
Super detailed and informative! It doesn't take for granted that the viewer knows anything about ships, and covers each step. Thank you for teaching me. I didn't realize that 2 cycle ships used engines, not transmissions, to reverse. But I guess without camshafts it doesn't matter.
Love your content chief! Having grown up in the desert I know very little about ship operations. You have opened a window to a side of life I will never experience.
When you mentioned that it wasn't as simple as turning a key, I was hoping you'd say that it takes "2 keys" like one of those really secure lock boxes. =D In any case, thanks for the cool video and showing a side of how we acquire a bunch of the goods we enjoy every day. It's amazing how much of a regimented and procedure-driven environment seafaring and aviation are. Ultra high-stakes if you get it wrong. Cheers, Chief!
Nice video, my grandfather was a Liberty Ship Captain in WWII, and continued as a Merchant Ship Captain until retirement in 1973. During my childhood I had the chance to stop by for his chats with some of the tug crew he knew in Savannah GA, and in later years he drove sailors from the port to play soccer with the local Savannah team, was something the local port Chaplin did back in the later 70’s. Had the pleasure of touring a few freighters that were in port. So far not ever had the experience of going to sea, slowly getting to old to do so. Seems computers and digital stuff has taken over as a Ham Operator, always though running the radio room would be interesting.
Very interesting. A lot goes on just to start a ship's engine up. I had no idea it would involve all that. Thanks for posting learning new things is nice.
Thanks so much chief! Your vídeos always are very interesting and fully of knowledge. I'm a Venezuelan deck cadet waiting to my first ship and i really learn waching your vídeos. Greetings chief! My respects.
Your patience easy way has opened my eyes to how immence our global trade network is. The complexity of starting the motive systems of your ship is profoundly complex and yet you take us through it with care and ease. Thank you Chief.
Greetings from New Zealand! Love seeing your videos as you give us all a insight into the lifeblood of the worlds Commerce. I also love the effort you put into editing and how you structure your videos. Stay safe.
Great vid! I already know many details of this gear, and still learned several details new to me. Yeah! You are very clearly spoken, perfect cadence, and CALM! 'Couldn't be better. Thank you for your service to us all. Some lucky shipping outfit snagged an A class seaman.
Very interesting content, very well filmed and explained. Very educational. I had no idea that there was so much manual work necessary just to start a ship's engine! Excellent! Many thanks! All the best, Rob
Very cool video Chief. Never knew so much work went into docking or leaving port. Always enjoy the videos much love to you and the crew from Windsor, Connecticut USA.
You are not only a superb chief engineer but you are also chief at engineering superb videos. It's a bit more involved than putting her in neutral, pressing the glow plug button for 40 seconds then turning the key.
It reminds me my previous vessel when i was an engine cadet sir Chief Makoi, same design and machinery arrangement. But your ship is much more upgraded, it's a camless main engine, very nice sir.
I was learning to be a ship’s engineer in 1967 for Texaco in London, England, but the maths was too hard for me and I dropped out. The ships back then must have been mainly steam turbines because we concentrated so much on them. And the mathematics involved with steam was too much for me. Imagine the lead time for starting a ship’s boilers and turbines back then lol.
Getting a steam turbine ready takes about the same time. GM, I started in 1970, and finished a couple of years ago, big changes over the last 50 years. Brilliant job, loved it most of the time!
This is the first time I've seen Main Engine to start from compress air... I've always been on engine that starts with battery.. A very helpful video. Thank you for sharing some knowledge
Very nice operation and presentation! Loved the shot of the tug through the hawsehole. Made the whole process look really majestic with the photography and editing. I've only been on one big ship, but ran my own shrimp trawlers for about 18 years and my mooring and docking by my self in wind and tides never went this smooth!
What a great video! It's so cool to see all the details. Thank you taking the time to create this. I'm curious how long it takes from the engine to go from maneuvering speed ahead to maneuvering speed astern? It's hard to get my mind around the fact that you have to stop and restart the engine to change direction. Fascinating stuff. Thanks again!!!
The engine has an automatic load program. So even if you do a "crash astern", it won't immediately give the amount of fuel necessary to go on full. Except if you push the "cancel program" button which is a manual override and only to be used in emergencies because doing so could potentially overload the engine.
That answered some questions I had. Still would like to know more details on actual starting of the engine. I understand there are differences but a typical scenario. You must get the engine turning a certain RPM then introduce fuel? Is the compressed air injected via the normal intake valves or is it separate? Etc.
Salamat po sa mga video nyo chief mackoi.. graduate po kc ako nang marine engineering pero hndi pa po ako nkakapag apprentice.. makakatulong po sa akin mga video nyo para ma recall ko po mga natutunan ko sa college.. baka sakali magamit ko balang araw. . godbless chief
Those "Ropes" as you called them, we always referred to them as "Lines" - my father was a Tug-Boat capt for many years and said you hang a criminal with a ROPE, you tie off my tug with a LINE........
1 minute into the video and I’m thinking the shipping industry needs massive investment in innovation, automation and sensors... it’s all done manually! No wonder it’s complicated and not as easy as turn the key and sail away 🤦🏻♂️
In coming generations, this will be obsolete for sure like steam engines do, solar boats are comming, large electric motors and gears will do it digitally automaticaly I think,
Hey Chief,,,,Landlubber here....again....Really enjoyed this video.....as usual....Your narration of your video is very relaxing...I grew up in a house with no walls, no floors, no ceilings....Just “Overhead, Bulkhead, and Deck....Yeah, I’m a Navy Brat...And proud of it!!!! With that in mind, please be careful out there...Not only is Mother Nature out to get you, but now pirates are targeting Commercial Shipping not to mention “Terrorists”...(Bombing of 4 ships in a port in the UAE today)....Please be careful, and keep those videos coming....Thanks again!!!!
Another outstanding presentation, Chief. As an old retired diesel-elecrtic submarine Engineer Officer, I understood that my diesels and electric generators and propulsion motors were a system that was the integration of essentials -- as you so clearly explained. What to an uneducated mind appears to be hopelessly complicated is, in fact, nothing more than the exercise of common sense. Well Done!!
Great videos and channel, chief. My wife has been sailing for twenty one years and has been sailing on her Chief Unlimited license for around ten years. Always enjoyed the engine room tours on the various ships she has worked on over the years.
