Thanks for the tour.I was surprised how well maintained the ship looked. Everything was so nicely painted and I saw no signs of rust or even dirt. You can tewll that someone took very good care of this ship.
Good vessel. I think a lot of seafarers just envy to you, because they can only dream about such a conditions as on this vessel..You and your colleagues are lucky guys. What's name of your company, if it's not a secret?
That looks like it would be a great company to work for. As a maintenance man at a Pittsburgh area warehouse, my wife and I have set a date to make our move to our other house in Hawaii. That may just be a career option for me.🤙
"Dick around a little bit".... lmfao. The Galley.... "These guys make one hell of a tuna fish sandwich".... AKA they can't cook for shit? I love it. No politically correctness here. Looking forward to your other videos.
I found this video very interesting. A chance to see something I’m never going to see in real time. Thank you again for taking the time to make it and sharing it
What's the difference between a sea-line and a shore-line while you're tied at port. You could have been a little more of a host during your video. Honestly, your tour was like an Evelyn Wood speed reading course. Thanks Joe but I could have learned as much---maybe more---from a picture
Shipping is an interesting area! I have worked as shipping agent at Paranagua port/Brazil at Cargill visiting all kinds of vessels and each vessel has her own history! Thank you Joe.
I was on the Ogden Willamette during the late 1970s. Quite a different experience. 660 feet long, 90 foot draft, 90 foot beam and rode like a 2x4 in bad weather.
9:08 / 10:04: in an emergency, in which you have to use the lifeboat to escape the ship, at what stage do you determine that it is time to depart the ship, when they may not be a Full compliment of the crew that have managed to make it to the lifeboat? If someone is left behind, what are their options to escape?
I think it's for instances when an assistance crew board the ship to help navigate through the Suez. I've seen the room shown on a few other videos like this, but it never used
Don't be hung up on the size of your tanker...size isn't everything...so I hear. Look, I'm just going to say this...I am 63 years old, in November, I'm going to be a Beatles song...that is to say I grew up in the '70's. And in the '70's, they had a lot of full length porn movies. I am trying, REALLY hard, not to equate the Tanker Stach with a porn stash from the '70's. Forgive me. I can't not see this. But Dude, you're living my dream. Cheers to you. If I had only had my head out of my backside back then, I might have lived a better life. I hate you. No...I love ya, man! Keep these video's coming, it feeds my addiction. Signed, a Catalina Sailboat owner...see? Size isn't everything...
I've been trying to figure out who you remind me of, at first I thought maybe it was someone I knew or worked with but I realized it's Mike Rowe the "Jobs" guy and your stuff would be perfect for his programing, your walkabouts and overtime clips throw in a drone shot and I think they would love it. Just an idea, I just realized your talking to yourself when you make these, if you wonder your voice is very smooth with just a touch of Turnpike.
So many manifolds...was this also a chemical tanker at one time? . I would like to see the offloading procedure from gangway on to start pumping. Tanks for the memories.
Sorry if you’ve explained this somewhere else but what’s the deal with all the ships using that same orange-red paint?? Did they get a discount on it? ;)
On the stern of the ship about the 3:10 mark the holes where the dock lines go through the hull were painted red, white or blue. What is the meaning? I didn't notice any others painted a different color.
Just found your channel and am enjoying it. Weird thing tho about some of the videos. When you're in the cabin doing the intro, there's no audio. Once you leave the cabin and do other scenes, it's fine but then back in the cabin it's silent again. Closed captioning worked though.
Pay varies from ship to ship, lots of different factors. To answer your question on this particular ship I believe I was bringing home around 6k a month after taxes.
@@JoeFranta Figured. IDK what you do for post production but Handbrake is a good tool to force sync audio and video. Anyway keep up the good work! I'd never be able to do what you do because the ocean hides things that I'd rather not be around, like krackens.
