Our ship has arrived at Ashdod, Israel to load cargo. It's a rare opportunity to go ashore and visit Jerusalem. But will we be able to go? Or will we be too busy with work?

Hello Everyone!
Be blessed!
So very happy for these videos again, great videos about marine engineering Chief keep them coming.
Till the next port Chief. Have a safe underway.
Aye, aye Chief 😂
Chief can you make a video about what are engine crew do during anchoring
Moral is the most important measure of a healthy crew. You are very good leader
I so enjoy watching professionals at work. No drama, no yelling, just teamwork and detection, to getting the job done right. Great job Chief.
No bubbles, no troubles! Good temporary repair by the crew. Sorry you didn't get to visit Jerusalem. Hope you do get a chance in the future. Cheers!
12:40 There's nothing more permanent, than "a temporary repair" 😆
It sounds like you run a tight ship Chief! And, I'm sure you will get a chance to see some of those 'Tourist Spots' another time soon!
I'm glad you made the comment for new parts. I wasn't happy seeing the crank like that. You could see material from the flywheel. Just keep in mind the if the crank lost surface area you WILL break that key again. Go ahead,,,, ask me how I know. Safe travels chief and God bless
On the side of emergency i would turn the crank before installing the piston by the bolt at the end as fast as possible and while holding a grinder or some sort of file to get the tapered surface straighter ,use green Loctite if available and get the flywheel hot before install with careful use of a hammer while turning the bolt .Improvising can work if enough knowledge is procured , high seas can greatly improve motivation ,Fair Winds
@@rovidius2006 some tin or a coke can as a shim too can help that flywheel sit tighter on the shaft. I have never been a fan of conical shafts with the half moon keyways but whatever.
Your level of knowledge just blows my mind. Great video like always Chief, thanks for keeping the world moving!
Just so you know… the sidewalls of keyways are VERY important. You can see there is damage on the keyway sides on the crank portion of the keyway. The sheeve side of the keyway needs inspection too. There is likely just enough wiggle room for keys to allow movement. That movement has slowly destroyed the key… and edges… of the keyway as evident by the aforementioned keyway damage. This is something we commonly see in machine shops. You need to address that or it will be a repeat issue. Keyways need recut. In some cases you can just rotate and cut a new keyway but you can also fix a damaged keyway via a couple different methods. Cheers mate. Thank you for another great video.
My favorite KZhead channel keep on posting wonderful videos. I enjoy seeing your journey.
Wow, Chief, this is down to the metal on metal = the real thing. We love these peeks into your inside world.
I hope you bet to come back and visit some time. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. Thanks for your time. Paul
I recently bought pizza for the nurses caring for me in the local cardiac wing. . I still need to cover the other shift.
Woodruff key made of stainless steel will last longer enjoy your videos my uncle was a chief engineer in the merchant navy brought wonderful gifts home to me as a child.
You have excellent commanadre in your ship chief...that's very important as a seafarer...there's no hard job for a good harmony in the ships crew.
Ship troubleshooting is the same process we use in IT. Identify root cause "RCA", determine corrective action plan "CAP", test corrective action, return to service. Its the difference between a well running operation and one with constant failures and breakdowns.
Hi Lorin. I was in IT for decades. Root cause analysis was always a major item. But I have never heard of CAP, although it makes obvious sense. Maybe we just called it a different name. If you go though root cause, CAP makes perfect sense. Best.
@roderickcampbell2105 we typically only used them if something moved to the level of service management calling it a problem. Then as part of the problem management phase we would need to provide the corrective action plan.
@@jeffhaggarty9879 Hi Jeff, I guess you had to go through ITIL. I did. But I don't recall CAP. Perhaps I'm too old!
Chief the proper name of the shaft key is a "Woodruff Key" handy to know when ordering replacements.
What you and your guys do is what makes the world go round. That load helps grow food same were in the world
And if the tools are arranged neatly, you will see immediately what tool is missing.
you and your crew would make great farmers
Thanks Chief! Please add this to the funds. And let the guys know we appreciate all their (and Yours) hard work to keep the world running. They might think no one notices. But we do. And Thank You Chief for making this opportunity available❣️
Thank you very much! 😊
@@ChiefMAKOi Whatever you decide to do, please make a video and share it with everyone. That would be neat for everyone to see the results❣️
Fair winds and following seas, chief. I only wish that I could sit and hear your sea stories.
Great entertainment Cheif MAKOi . Fantastic job.
Thanks for these videos and all the work everyone does! I look forward to all of your videos and love seeing everyone at work. Super interesting and very important content.
Chief: "Asks for money to buy the boys pizza" Everyone in the comments: Say less. $$$$$$$$
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. 2 weeks crossing the Atlantic without internet. 😊
like the way you test for leaks, absolutely effective, you guys take care and God Bless You All.
Big clive will enjoy this one... He used to work in refrigeration. Don't overtighten belts. It destroys bearings.
Loose flywheel - been there. In such a situation use an aluminium replacement key you will have less damage to the crank shaft if it fails again. Before fitting a new key apply some fine grinding past to the shaft and rotate the flywheel several time to bed it in on the taper. Because of the damaged key you will have a high spot in that area.
True i would have lapped it with some paste , but it still was a good repair ,
When you're in the middle of the ocean and all your generators/compressors are broken down, those hand tools will be there to fix them. Can't go wrong with the tools you can trust.
Always a thumbs up for Chief's videos.
Nice work… We had the prelube pump eat itself on our ship recently. The auto-filter caught most of the cast that was ground off (about two kilos I figure) but it drops it back to the sump and the duplex strainer and safety filter did their jobs as well, catching the majority. We’re a ferry service and the down time is noticed by the passengers and the government. The pump has to be custom built so there’s a three to six month lead time… installed a pair of smaller pumps with the assistance of some certified welders to get us through the peak season. Of course, the engine is getting a complete tear down at refit this fall to assess any damage that may have occurred. MAK M32 V16 in case you were wondering. I do love my job 😁
Big thanks for all that interesting content. May you have fair winds and following seas.
Thank you Alex!
To you and the team, Chief! Safe travels my friend!
Thank you!
Hey Chief next time you're home, help Momma Jenny do another one of her cooking videos will ya? It's been a while and we quite enjoyed them :)
We were both busy with a lot of other stuff in the farm earlier this year. We'll try to revive her channel when I get home. 😊
@@ChiefMAKOiplease do!
You guys are so clever putting all those engine parts together.
Super Thanks! Sorry I have no money to share, but I do thank you and your crew for delivering important cargo all around the world. Stay safe and have fun!
It's perfectly fine 😊. No worries.
You're the man, Chief. Thanks so much for all the filming you do!
My pleasure!! And thank you!!!
It’s too bad you missed out on visiting. The music & foods there are phenomenal there & of course the religious sites will give you chills with its history. Shalom
I eventually got to visit a year later. This video is a very late post. 😊
@@ChiefMAKOi Hope you enjoyed
Damn they really did a full overhaul on that compressor Chief n his boys always leave the equipment they get in better condition that they got it in👍🏻 I’d love to work for him
At last, I can say... thanks Chief
Thanks!
You will always have my support Chief. I respect your knowledge and effort.@@ChiefMAKOi
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exodus 20:8
Hey Chief, very interesting video of the compressor repair. Sorry that you didn't find time for some shore leave, hopefully next time you'll be luckier... :)
Glad to see you back.
Awesome Dude! Safe travels to South America
Great vlog as always! The same thing happened to my MB Vito. The AC Compressor was toast. That was a U.S $ 2000 fix! Well, it is only money. In Norway we have a saying that some people are so poor that the only thing they have is money. Keep up the good work my friend. Be safe!
I noticed around the 11:39 point that someone was wearing a ring while applying the soap for the leak check. When I used to work on industrial/mechanical jobs we weren’t allowed to wear any jewelry while in the shop as it was considered a safety hazard (the jewelry might catch on moving parts, belts, etc. and pull you into the machinery.
Hi Chief , I'll be happy to host and guide you in Israel , Safe voyage
Thanks!
Thanks Troy!
@@ChiefMAKOi Really enjoy your posts. I'm not in your industry but love your content and seeing a day in the life of a merchant sailor. Good luck.
All your videos are appreciated by me, a humble CNC machinist that has refinished large bearings for Navy to cargo ships. But, I wanted to thank you again for this video, I know not being able to see Jerusalem or any part of Israel was hard on you. But as a true stand up man, and team leader, you persevered with dignity and professionalism. And for that I too am even more motivated in my duties in life when I'd rather do something else at times. 👍
Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
The Chief is a true leader of men.
Great story . I like the explanation of why you’d like to use handrails as opposed to power tools. The time lapse ending was visually very good
Shalom...
I’m sorry you didn’t get to visit Jerusalem. It’s an amazing place to see. Actually the entire country is one interesting thing to see after another. Hopefully you got to enjoy the Sabbath off too.
I did eventually. This is a late post.
@@ChiefMAKOi That’s good news. It’s a totally unique city as the home of the Abrahamic religions. It’s importance in the history of the Western World is up there with any other city. Plus seeing a few thousand years of buildings and such is neat too.
Jordan is also such an amazing place....Just ask Moses! 🙂🙏
@@ChiefMAKOi Ha! Would have been great to meet you! Hope you had an amazing time!!!
@@ChiefMAKOi Have you ever had crew members disappear while on shore leave?
Hello from Israel!
Safe trip captain
Thanks my friend for sharing with us in high level of details the life on-board.
Thank you! 😊
Hello chief kumusta ka, always healthy and nice to meet you, I am former Terminal Berthing Master
Hi Chief! I am from Israel and would be super happy to say hi! Reach out if still relevant.
Thanks! and next time I can cook Pizzas 4 You!!
Sounds good! Thanks! 😁
Watching this video from Jerusalem, I wish you come here one day, and I wish myself to see you here! Thanks
Hey guys and Chief, Old Coasty here. Love your videos!!!
Thanks! Great crew!
Thanks!
Nice repair to get u by. I do AC and leaks are the thing that can be a real pain.
1. You could lap the 2 cones (crankshaft and flywheel. It is difficult, I know, but can be done and it is a kind of permanent repairs 2. you could use "Locktite retaining compound 638" or 603 check it when you have internet. If you don't have it, which I'm sure' use lockthread 3. seams and and punching is not used anymore. Strongly but strongly recommend, don't do it with bearing casing in motors as used to be done years ago.
Great video and informative as usual! Really liked the night shot at the end. Super pretty.
I wish I had more to give you and your team but I haven’t worked since February after being hit by a car and have only a very small income. Thanks as always for the wonderful content Mark
Thank you!
Hang in there. Injuries are tough, but so are you.
Great content!
Thanks!
Cordless power tool are pretty reliable nowadays, i have 1/2" impact, cheap chinese one, i use it almost everyday for more than 3 years, not a single problem Just need another battery for a spare
Interesting video Chief. It ended up being closer to my trade with the refrigeration compressor repair. I was trained to leak test with Nitrogen before pulling the vacuum. What refrigerant does your system use & do you carry extra for repairs? A video of the climate control system aboard would be interesting too. Stay safe out there.
Jerusalem an historical site? Yeah, I'd say so... Probably the most important one in the world... You were almost there and didn't get to go - That REALLY sucks !!!!!!
I eventually did. Just last week. This video is a late post 😊
Hola ingeniero! Como te decía el Domingo por el chat: no estés tan triste por no haber podido desembarcar. Quizás te ahorraste algún disgusto. No sólo que por aquí estamos sufriendo una ola de calor sofocante, sino que además tenemos el país patas arriba con manifestaciones, disturbios, mucho malestar. Con suerte, todavía puedas volver y visitar el país en algún otro momento, con mejor clima atmosférico y civil. Suerte!
My son is close to you right now, he is in Egypt.
thank U for your clips I enjoy them
Awesome job. Careers go by at light speed, so grab all the joy you can while you are passing through it. I found mine to be over one day after 43 years and there were so many things I didn't get done. Grab what you can and bring us along with you if you will. Smooth sailing my friend!!
Thanks! Without mariners, my field is dead in the water, since we won't get the things we need to keep working, so decidedly appreciate you guys.
Thank you!
Thanks for the videos and hope you get to see Jerusalem one day.
Thank you!
Happy Sunday to you ChiefMAKOI
Same to you!
¡Gracias!
Thanks!
Hopefully the opportunity will present itself again and you and your crew can indulge. Safe journey.
Wow Chief Makoi. That was cool man. Thanks for the show From New York
Glad you enjoyed it
Finished a few minutes late. Nice quick fix video! Enjoy you weekend Chief. 🍺🙂
Thanks, you too!
Hello chief, good to see your video, would have loved to one day caught up in person , I'm looking forward to my trip in a couple of weeks taking the children to see their grand parents in Mindanao and some of my far relatives in Singapore thanks and smooth seas ahead for your ship
Hope you have a great time!
Although the bearing journals of the crank looked good, the taper that flywheel seats onto appeared to be worn. It might be wise to change both the crank and flywheel. What refrigerant is used in that system?
We did when the new parts came. R404A
@@ChiefMAKOi Chief, I should have known that you would be way ahead of me. Thanks for the education.
For the crew...
Wow! Thank you!
Good winds Chief… fair wind and night time red sky!!!💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks
Wow! Thanks Thomas!
Estamos esperando voces aqui do brasil ! 🇧🇷Rio grande do sul 🇧🇷
Good video. I enjoy the mechanical videos quite a bit.
That's seafsrers life!!!
I used to by buy pizza all the time for my crew and bbq's it goes along way with the crew when you have a happy crew you get better work..
Have a safe trip chief
Your description of the hand tools brought back an amusing memory- I was standing by a gas carrier under construction on Tyneside, in Britain. Shortly before we left the shipyard for sea commissioning trials, the shipping company's official issue of tool boxes came aboard, full of Whitworth spanners (plus a supply of Fahrenheit thermometers). All totally useless on a ship with metric fasteners (and all instrumentation in metric units). That is Britain for you- like a museum with management rooted firmly in the past. Not a bad ship, though. Quite enjoyed it apart from when we had a cargo of Ammonia- horrible stuff.
Great Video Chief!
Better luck next time.
Hands down, the best videos chief.
I' m filling happy for know to stay at Cabo Verde Good job onboard to the ship
Cool !!!
Great Vlog . . Thank you .
I want to go there as well, sorry you couldn’t go
I'm actually here in Israel again. I went to Jerusalem last week. 😊
Great video
So nice to see you again chief,enjoy we do 🙏👍
Next time, be in touch in advance
