hey... I used to work on that class of ship :) I was a cadet on OOCL Luxembourg and a 3rd officer on the OOCL Atlanta. This video brought back some good memories

@LucasPauling 5 лет назад

Actually I just noticed from the MMSI this is the OOCl Atlanta. No wonder it looked so familiar

Hi Jeff. A big shoutout to you from the Maritime Community in India. Your videos are really helping us getting an overall view of the life in the merchant marine. Could you please upload a video showing the duties of a deck cadet on board ships? It would be really helpful for cadets across the nation.

@atsea713 8 лет назад

You have a career in media. Your stuff is stellar!

@nerileimacapote2467 6 лет назад

Great!!, this video really I liked a lot, you summarized in 6 minutes the chapter 8 of the STCW and showed what are the responsibilities of a third officer, I am very grateful, all this I know but in theory because I have not been aboard, and in so just 6 minutes you made me understand and I fell more in love with my career

@TRaVeLandWaLK 7 лет назад

I got a technical question....why not use a GPS system for getting your location instead of using a manual sextant. GPS is far more accurate, easy to use and always available using satellites. Now we also have Glonass as a backup gps.

@JeffHK 7 лет назад

we do use gps, we never use sextant, its just one of those things that sailor likes to practice because its a relic of the past

@robinl4975 5 лет назад

Thank you for putting so much of your time into making these informative videos :) you manage to make every aspect of working on a ship a interesting subject :)

@grahambrown5874 6 лет назад

An amazing insight to live aboard a cargo ship. You have a lot of responsibility. Keep producing these great blogs.

@rudilapa6569 7 лет назад

Did you make it aboard one? If so, pleases update us! I sailed for a few years and have always hoped to go back as a passenger. All the joys, none of the watchstanding / maintenance / drudgery. Alas, I didn't win the lottery I had planned on. Being a passenger on one of these mega-container ships would be an infinitely better experience than being inside one of those overcrowded floating casinos. And port calls in *real* cities, not mind-numbing outposts of trinket malls. I hope you made it!

@jeynerelias7985 6 лет назад

Wow! Your vídeo was amazing! I'm a Deck Cadete from Venezuela and it seems to me so interesting, the dutys of the OOW are a little difficult he have many responsabilities!

@ThumperKJFK 7 лет назад

WOW :D FOOOOOD BACON bacon bacon and eggs & Sausages Doh LOL Great flick Jeff. I am new to your videos and love them. Thanks to youtube for suggesting it to me. For some reason your approach to making this is very similar to Captain Joe videos, only thing he is an airline first officer on the airbus. Keep up the great work JeffHK

@JeffHK 7 лет назад

+Gregory Spivey thanks! havent heard of captain joe, ill check him out 😄

@chuckboyle8456 7 лет назад

Excellent video with very nice drone panoramas...thanks! No uniforms or insignia, very unusual operating environment especially when dealing with pilots and port engineers?

@CarePeers 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing the video. I watched many videos about aviation, but no marine.

@francoisvillon1300 3 года назад

So, before the radars and satellites, how did those tall ships navigate in such a fog? Or did they just anchor and waited for it to clear?

@pascucristi963 Год назад

Having more people for look-out. One in forward, look-out from bridge wings.

@universalconquest4447 5 лет назад

Great videos! Thank you.

@seaprofexecutiveeducation3750 6 лет назад

Hi Jeff, comment from an 'old timer': the Captain is always in command. However, he will take the conduct (con) of the ship from the OOW as the need arises and normally when entering and leaving port or in heavy traffic areas e.g. Singapore Strait.

@computergrant1 7 лет назад

I love Maritime and your videos! Be safe, and keep the videos coming!

@kevinsampson3798 8 лет назад

your videos are brilliant so much detail and accuracy with very good commentary brilliant work hope to see more videos soon

@JeffHK 8 лет назад

thanks for your support!

@billyjoe3309 7 лет назад

Please explain time on the ship. Because you sail across the world, timezones change very often. Do you fallow a UNI time or something instead?

@danalivingabroad 3 года назад

Hey there! Love this video and I am very curious how I can become an OOW. Can you do a video for how to become on - the requirements and all of the duties involved?

@Orlyrly 6 лет назад

Hey jeff, where did you do your training? Are you a member of the seafarers union? If so, would you recommend the program in Maryland?

@luispadilla3378 6 лет назад

Ey Jeff! is importan to mention the current OOW must ask the outgoing OOW if the Master or the Chief Officer has left any verbal instructions to complied with or any night orders that there might be confusions whit and avoieding any emergency situation

@conniejurgs9427 6 лет назад

Usually the Master has standing orders that are written down and available on the chart table. If changes have been made recently those changes could be pointed out during the turnover at the end of the watch. Many times while far out at sea I have heard turnovers go something like... No changes in anything, and there's no other ships around. Things could get a lot more complicated while in heavy traffic or unusual circumstances. Then, many times, the captain could actually be on the bridge, but not in 'control of the helm'. If things get really interesting the captain could issue a command, "I've got the helm" and take control from the OOW.

@shAdOwstAlkEr945 6 лет назад

I just recently got my OIC-NW license at 22 y.o. but currently still looking for opportunities for me to become an officer. The competition is difficult in our country since you pretty much need to have someone you know/a relative working on a shipping company to back you up (colloquialy termed as a "backer"), for which I do not have. Nevertheless, I am not giving up ;)

@lennincamacho7396 6 лет назад

Depending on the size of the boat, the size of the team of the deck officers varies, there is no universal rules about the Number members that a vessel must have, so it is up to the company owner of the boat or the captain of the ship, what actually exists is a hierarchy in that order, there are the first, second and third deck officer on Board the vessel. The Range is determined based on the experience and performance of the individual.

@jhosmarramos3031 6 лет назад

Hellomy name is Ely Ramos, is it mandatory that in every ship there is a watchkeeper? In addition, the deck officers must have knowledge about the nautical charts and the electronic charts on board in case of a total blackout of the generators, why?

@TheDTMZ 8 лет назад

You honestly deserve more subs/views...I don't know if it's just me or this stuff is really interesting

@JeffHK 8 лет назад

+David Zubicek glad u liked it, thanks for the encourage, means alot!

@ricksnodgrass3645 4 года назад

Do you reduce speed on a ship of that size during periods of fog?

@JeffHK 4 года назад

nope, 20knots ~

@ricksnodgrass3645 4 года назад

JeffHK wow ok....good to know! Thanks! I love your vids!

@JeffHK 7 лет назад

+Edward A very rare but i have

@gilibethlucena8706 6 лет назад

Hello jeff, I wanted to ask you. Something you mentioned in the video, you said. that the oow it's in charge of the life sawing appliances, now, do te third mate and the oow share the responsability? because as for as i know that's the third mate's duty. I have a second question for you, there's a moment in the video in which you pointedout that in some situations the use of radar is vital, I did some research and i fourd out that the radar has a really close relationship with the arpa how the two of them work together?

@luismiguelromeroossa7491 6 лет назад

According to the COLREG 72 and the STCW jeff, it is necessary to place beams in case of reduced visibility to use all possible navigation aids, in this case it would be important to use the RADAR and activate the S-band since this is less affected by these external agents. make another video where you can mention being things that are of great importance to us Deckofficers.

@axlotle 7 лет назад

May I ask? What kind of science and math you will deal with if you choose Nautical Science?

@augustus2138 5 лет назад

What is an Officer in charge of navigational watch? Is it also deck officer? Is it a third officer or a second officer? I'm confused 😂

@williamberding6277 3 года назад

Is in modern navigating still use sextant? I thought it stayed in times when ship use wind to move themselves 😂

@gonietubenyc5741 7 лет назад

Do you guys have military contractors providing security for your ship ? Bc a lot of ships have security details on them for pirates and other security risks armed of course

@humphrey4667 6 лет назад

You make such an interesting and qualitative content, thank you for your endeavors! May I ask you about your vision acuity? How much %? Because I've got some problems with it and would like to know, is it so critical for navigators nowadays?

@LikeOnATree 6 лет назад

Love these videos, thanks for making them!!

@johnm4579 3 года назад

Hi jeff I noticed you don't wear a uniform on watch like many officers ? Just wondering why is it.

@Jojo-fd7eb 2 года назад

Theres no point of wearing a uniform while on watch in the middle of the ocean. What is unacceptable is vlogging while watch especially in restricted visibility.

@oldaccount67543 7 лет назад

How do you get into such a position? What kind of training does it require? I'm really interested in this

@thelowmein9143 6 лет назад

I’m loving your videos, let me ask you a question. If I am on the beach, on a second story balcony, and I want to watch ships out on the horizon, (this is a hotel is near a port where various cargo ships come in) are there any particular optics, scopes or binoculars you recommend? If not what specifications should I look for? Thanks.

@brayantcontreras5691 6 лет назад

@chipblock2854 4 года назад

I am assuming you work 4 on and 8 off. So is it safe to say you have 8s? That is 0800 to 1200 and 2000 to 0000.

@TDCCentral 7 лет назад

How can I do this after high school? Maybe not as an officer but how can I get on a ship?

@JeffHK 7 лет назад

Depending on your country, best google to find out your nearby maritime school

@bradgt5130 7 лет назад

You can also apply inland depending on where you live, in the states inland is big part of the waterways and very rewarding careers for those not looking to go offshore and deal with the amount of time gone. As a inland captain I find it interesting what they have to do and exjpy the videos.

@robfall2159 7 лет назад

JeffHK Just found your channel. It's very entertaining. I'm sure this has probably been answered before, but what keeps the containers on board? I don't see any straps, and I would imagine a good wave in the wrong direction could knock some off into the water ...and right after posting this comment I found your video explaining it xD

@JeffHK 7 лет назад

+Rob Arcane hehehe ya

@robfall2159 7 лет назад

JeffHK I do have another question for you, and I don't think any of your videos explain this. Is there anything you aren't allowed to bring into your personal cabin from home? I think I could learn to cope without the internet, albeit with some difficulty. but would I be able to bring say a Playstation or something in order to pass the time?

@postmalone9644 8 лет назад

Cool bro! showing the world specifically the duties and responsibilities being an OIC-NW. Haha, I'm waiting for your another Vlog bout dry dock. I know its really really boring in the shipyard but let the world know what we're, or I mean the seafarers do in shipyard :D

In a previous vlog, you mentioned that you went to school in Aus, as a Canadian citizen. What school did you attend, and did they help with job placement? If you don't mind, I'd really like to know the name of the school, so that I, an American, can look into it.

@JeffHK 7 лет назад

+Jarret H. I went to challenger institute maritime branch Going to Australian maritime college for my class 2 which i would recommend i didn't look for job placement since ive already had one but they will but usually more difficult since some companies only hire aussie
