Working INSIDE a Ship's Massive Engine | Chief MAKOi Seaman Vlog S03E15 

It’s engineers like you and your team that make the world go around. Thanks for your dedication to your job.

This tube was called in a days 'Receiver'. It was dirtiest job to do clean it. At this movie seems very clean probably fotage started after cleaner or assistant engineer already cleaned it mostly. I spent many days inside this tube back in my marine days. It took me i think like 16 hours to clean it just with lunch time pause. At sea there was no working hours regulations. Marine time teaches you life. Thanks Chief for insights.

Engine cadet Goulbourne Romario from Jamaica🇯🇲 sending greeting to you Chief MAKOi. Thanks for passing on your knowledge to us. We really appreciate it.

My eldest brother is chief engineer from MTM line and I also like your videos and its helpful for my starting of marine field.🤗

I enjoy your vlogs. A few years ago I boarded Polsteam Drawsko in Burns Harbour as a passenger. The crew were very friendly during the 4 weeks I was aboard on the way to Bari, Italy via Duluth. The crew told me that the Chief is the most important officer aboard (more than the Captain!).

Great work Chief and the young crew. Greetings from New Zealand. I feel satisfied doing my own service on my 60hp outboard motor on my boat. The size of what you work on is a credit to your knowledge and skills.

For me, you are the greatest director in the whole youtube mate. Keep up the great work and stay safe. Safe seas :)

You've got some serious bragging rights with such 'engine displacement' -;)

What a beautiful engine room you have there Chief, you and your team should feel real proud

Hail to the Chief!

Your film making is outstanding. Taking dirty and hard ship borne work and turning it into visual poetry. I really enjoy your work! Thank you for sharing it Chief!

oh god when i was young i applied ship enginering but got rejected because cant pay the money for enter that school. but life must go on and find the way. and watching your channel somehow relief my unrequited dream, thank sir...

It’s great to see this team of men work together to take care of their home and vessel. Teamwork, dedication, and attention to detail. What an inspiration. Thanks for the presentation.

To be the Chief is to know the inside and out of the ship..Literally... great job!

Another outstanding video Chief Makoi, thanks. You have again provided a great video of critical shipboard maintenance evolutions in-port. Very nicely composed, photographed and edited presentation. For young engineers, this is the true test of grit, skill and determination to their chosen career. You are not missing anything in the Port of Jeddah. I have been there several times on military RORO vessels. In each case we were restricted to the piers for our own safety. The locals don’t present the welcome mat! Safe journeys. Carry on!

«onboard on a ship there's always something to do» As a corporate IT visiting ships from time to time this is my mantra.

This is the type of youtube videos I like, things I don't know and have never seen before.

Great work. Awsome to see the teaching of the newer younger generation of seafarers!

I am starting my career at a young age. Going to work for my Union as a wiper, and with the money saved up, will get some education requirements later in the years to hopefully become chief engineer. I watch you all of the time and you’re an inspiration.

I love your narration, you have a very calming voice☺

I knew a lot of people in the US navy, that works in the engineering department, every time the ship goes on deployment they’re the first one in and last one to leave. And on top that they’re required to have 2 person on watch 24/7, whenever they pulled in at the port. Their job is not a cakewalk

Thanks for the great trip into the crankcase of the engine!

Never fails to amaze me that this beast is a 2 stroke

I previously worked in aircraft maintenance, seeing that feeler gauge reminds me of the good old days

I like how you answer questions so we all can learn. Now I read all the comments too.

I'm frustrated that I didn't pass the cadetship program. Even though I didn't feel hopeful, watching these films offers me comfort and motivates me to keep going forward.

We want more! We want more! Haha love your videos Chief. Keep it up

Very very thorough explanation of your work on board, although I know nothing about your job, you make it sound very interesting!

Salamat chief makoi dahil sa mga vlog mo may nakukuha akong mga kaalaman, na kahit tumigil ako sa pag aaral dahil sa pandemic may natototonan paren ako at dahil tin sayo sir makoi. Keep it up GOD BLESSE

Fascinating especially that part at the end where that old guy was crawling out of that sludge tunnel or whatever it was. Thank you Sal for the intro. I'm not a mechanic but I love the detail; don't think you will bore if you get into the nitty gritty.I am subscribed and have Liked.

Seeing the up close and personal inside the engine cavity brought back something video just can't relate - the smell. The odor of the oil and all the components that get suffused in it over time came rushing back as I watched. Memories of hard, satisfying work in a very similar environment. Great work Chief and much love!

Nice glimpse inside the engine Chief. It's always fun to see large machinery up close.

I see bulk carriers similar to yours everyday in our local waters around Nanaimo BC. Have you ever been here? It's great to see what goes on with shipboard activities and the different types of cargo you move. Pulp and paper would be our biggest contribution i suppose. Thanks for showing us your job and life aboard ship. Great show.

Hi cheif we really love you , I m an engineer officer in board of cargo ship ; your vedios are very helpful as its supposed to be from a great cheif engineer. please I d like you make vedios for us about boiler and pumps principles and troublshooting , remedy there are several vedios in the net but i d like to see these lessons from you as well , because you explain well and you re aware what the sailor really need , much of respect and love dear cheif!

Chief ever thought about showing how the pistons are checked for pressure for piston pressure efficiency, another suggestion is show pulling a piston. Scavenge cleaning. Fuel and Lube oil purifiers, compressors just to name a few.

I love those Nightstick lights. Good features, intrinsically safe, and cheap!

Respect Chief. Outstanding.

Oh this one brings back memories of my time at sea as a Marine Engineer . . . Thank You so much for sharing your experiences.

The size of those piston rings is astounding.

You are very smart and all-encompassing man .

That was an awesome view inside the cylinder. I never would have guessed that a ship engine is a two stroke.

very informative for aspiring marine engineers like me.. please sir keep posting these types of videos ..,thank you sir

Whenever I see the Chief in his coveralls it takes me a sec because for some reason it looks like a bathrobe.

Nicely cleaned scavenge air receiver and under piston spaces! What we also did is pushing the rings back in their grooves using a piece of wood in order to check for broken rings

I love you and your videos so much, Chief MAKOi!

You and your crew do such difficult and fascinating work. Thank you.

Your work is great Chief...👍

Hey Chief! Your explanations are concise and clear for me, a non-seafarer who is nevertheless interested in what you upload. Thanks!

Great video! I have been an automotive mechanic for 30+ years I just love that big machinery!

Thanks @Chief so look forward to your next upload...

Thank you Chief Mackoi. Always something to do to save the ship. Stay safe

Great Video Chief. This inside of the engine is really interesting. Thanks for posting that.

🚢👮⚓ Well great job Chief as I last saw you must be in the Aegean sea.Safe ⚓Seas.

Thanks Chief, That was fascinating!

Thank you chief for the nice vlog again, and all the best in the heat !!

That's a very serious get inside your job job lol. Thank you for showing us the inner workings of the engine.

We will have time for…maintenance!

Thanks for sharing this insights, Chief! Very impressive!

Chief, most interesting! Thanks for this look at quality maintenance being completed!

Seeing the scale of the engines is mind boggling. I keep thinking "If you were scaled down to scale and crawling around in the 2 liter of my car how small would you be?"

Awesome machinery! Thanks for sharing.

Chief Makoi, you are a good story teller 👍

Keep in touch sir makoi keep safe its so hard to work as we our situation out of way to relax coz of covid 19 be happy always soon be OK I wish

Wow sir keep safe always your the one of my inspiration to be a seaman ⚓

Another great video , you give a great insight into life on the ocean

Cleaning the sludge out of a scavenger was the only time I worked in an engine room, I was a galley boy at the time and was the only crew member that could fit in this particular scavenger, all the rest were done by the ER crew. The Chief Engineer did buy me a case of beer for my efforts. This was back in the 70’s when health and safety wasn’t as bigger thing as it is these days. They were really happy days, thanks for the memories chief👍🏻

Your closing remark reminded me of something that I've seen on a bosun's door: There's always something for someone else to do. Thanks and keep up the good work.

The Best Chief Engineer for me. :) 💪

Enjoyed your video Chief!.....safe travels on your adventures...

That was fascinating. Thanks a lot and good luck, Sir.

Great video Makoi Thanks for posting and happy holidays 🙂

Great video....on a lot of levels! Keep up the good work Chief!

Salamat sa mga ideas at mga tips MO sir..God bless 😇😇

I love your vlogs Makoi reminds me of my time at sea.I was a Petty Officer on Tankers for well known British oil company and at the age of 72 would love to do a trip.

Thanks for another great video. I am a retired engineer and have always been fascinated with large machines and what makes them tick. I am unable to experience these up close so it is wonderful to have the chance to see them through your lense.

Good report on the maintenance and work on the ship's machine ... a greeting and good navigation👍🚢

More videos about engine maintenance chief ♥ thank you. Your videos really helps me to understand more about marine engineering.

I like the way you narrate over your videos. You explain everything in detail.

Thumbs up to your dedication and expertise sir.

Great video! Keep these kind of videos coming. I learned a lot!

love your videos Chief...cheers from USA , Paul

Glad to see at 00:44 the ferry "Duba Bridge", ex-"Mercedes del Mar" from Iscomar. An old spanish friend! Thank you for showing it!

Good job guys 🚢⚓😀💪

Hope your enjoying your vacation Chief ! :-)

Thank you Chief Makoi for sharing your journey to us young mariner, I really like the photography you taken from ship to travelling vlog. Hope we meet soon.

Great video, as always maraming salamat!

Good video! Thanks!

Love your video’s ,, chief ! Thank you !

Thank you Chief for sharing your knowledge about machineries. I've seen a lot of your videos and i learned a lot. Very informative, easy to undert. Thank you chief. Keep safe always

Love the preventative maintenance! I am a chiller technician with 25yrs of factory tech service. I did about 5 months on the M/S Holiday rebuilding and computerized all 5 of the centrifugal chillers. Long Beach, ca to Catalina island to Ensenada, mx was m-f then Friday-Monday Long Beach to Ensenada to Long Beach. What a awesome group of techs, although language was difficult. Went through the Panama Canal and went to Puerto Rico, as the ship was up for sail.

Wauw. Amazing stuff. I was working on a big roof a few years back on ship engine builder wärtsilä. The size of those engines was insane. Great to see inside your engine. Safe travels.

That was awesome it’s so neat to see these big engines

Very good approach to maintenance

wow. Thanks for the insight.

Salamat sa pag share po..may na kukuha na aral lalo sa gaya ko na inter island nka onboard...

Your videos are some sort therapeutic for me .... the soothing voice of narration and the sound does it for me.

Chief, thanks for your great lessons full of insights. It's a pleasure to learn more about the peoples work behind international logistics. Stay safe and healthy! Happy holidays.

Chief.... Thank you for making videos like this. It gives me an idea on what my dad used to do in the ship engines. Those are massive 2 stroke engines... I hope i can work on those too

Evening Chief Makoi. Hope your keeping well. It’s a great insight into life on a big cargo ship. I’ve of loved too have served on your ship as you seem a real lovely guy 👍🏻 I’m a little old now nearing retirement but I can only dream of a job I’d of loved watching you do your stuff. Keep the videos coming. Keep well and safe cheers Stevie 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
