Ship's Engine Room | Seaman Vlog

Chief, English is my native language and I don't even annunciate and speak as clearly as you. Your voiceovers and videography are truly top-notch. I'm a new viewer and love your channel so far!

This really puts things into perspective. The hard work done in very difficult conditions. It’s not the machinery itself, it’s the people that maintain and fix it so that people who are watching this channel (and countless others) can have access to the food and supplies they need (they had to be brought to them somehow). Thank you.

I too am an Old Timer - Lecky of the Ship. 1958 ~1966. S.S. PyiDawAye; M.V. Aung Zeya; M.V. Pagan; M.V. Mergui. M.V.Ocean Trust; Lecky = Electrician - long before Containerisation began. Cargo was loaded Sling by Sling into and out of the Cargo Holds via Dericks and Winches on Decks. THANK YOU Chief MAKOi for the E/Rm Tour. (In my days we had the old Big Brass Telegraph with Bells and with repeater.) The Quartermasters (Helmsman) actually held the Helm in the Wheelhouse (not electronic knobs). Bless all of you. I am now age 78 Retired Electrical Inspector Landlubber in Australia. I've watched all your KZheads.

You are the 21st century equivalent of Scotty form the Starship Enterprise.

I am an old timer, quit sea in 2000 as C/E. So glad to see you running the show with latest machinery. God bless you.😀

Brilliant. Brings back memories. Served my apprenticeship building sulzers in Newcastle then too sea. I’m 60 now and still miss it

Old mechanic's trick at 6:15. Using a screwdriver or other metal rod to listen to a motor, checking for a bad bearing. Cool beans!

Great overview of the Engine Room for those who have never worked at sea. For me my time at sea as an engineer (noisy, hot, sweaty and often dirty) were some of the best days of my life.

I worked as an outside fire protection contractor on ships for a few years and found that ships with Filipino crews maintained the cleanest engine rooms. Exxon, Standard, Military Sealift Command, APL, and a variety of others are the lines I worked on.

I could watch you talk about the mechanical systems of your bulk carrier over and over again, Chief Engineer MAKOi!

God bless you Chief! You and all seafarers!

As a former engineer who wanted to go to sea but remained on land I find your VLOG really interesting. As a regular on cruise ships I now have a much better understanding of what is going on far below my cabin. Thanks and keep posting.

thanks sir! I am now enlightened about the valve and fuel injection's timing on Camless Engines. It's very informative and it really helps us to learn more about modern machineries on board... God bless you sir! ❤

I'm a yachty of many years several boats and enough miles, and as I watch the scale of the maintenance tasks at hand in commercial shipping, I am grumbling a little less about my own merciless never ceasing ever growing todo list! Great show, you're an ambassador for the marine industry, and the Philippines!

Another interesting VLOG. Keep increasing our knowledge sir. I love this job. 🙌👍 I’m a Cadet Engineer studying in Cyprus all the way from The Gambia 🇬🇲, West Africa

I’d like to have this workshop! Well equipped, even got a lathe. The heat is obviously making it hard to work there. Respect for all who have the endurance to do what’s needed!

All this brought back memories. I quit sailing 16 years ago after 42 at sea ( engine )

Really enjoyed that tour. Great insight. Thank you

Very great contribution for those who are studying marine engineering or work in ships 👍😃 Lots of best wishes from Bihar ,,India 👍🌷 keep it up 🙏

Heard you LOUD and clear in the engine room lol.

Too bad we never hear about the geniuses who invented all these systems and developed ways to manufacturer them. These are also the unsung heroes who give the world an affluent life. When you buy something in a store you never think about what it took to produce and get that product to you. Respect.

Keep going sir. Your English is very clear its easy to learn😊😊😊

Fabulous vlog Chief! I left the merchant navy in 70's and so many fond memories of down in the engine room. .the smell, the heat, the noise, I'll never forget those impressionable feelings. Just out of interest how many engineers look after that department now?....we had the Chief, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, plus 2 juniors, 4 cadets, 2 electricians, a "lampy", a freezer and 4 "greasers"! No doubt there are a few less these days..........

Reminding me of my days in the navy. I was a machinist mate and spent most of my time in the engine rooms. In my case though, the engines were massive steam turbines driving an old aircraft carrier. Enjoyed your video very much.

Chief! I stood Surface Warfare Officer watches in Engineering Spaces on DFM-burning carriers in the late 1970s (600 psi steam plants). Comparing my old temps with yours (110-115 F) it doesn't seem like things have changed that much! Top respect to you and your crew!

Chief, I am in my seventies and was an engineer on steam turbine ships for several years. Even so apart from main engine differences there are still many similarities. Heat noise and vibration, no ac control room. We had occasional emergencies and I have to ask are you always this calm? Some chiefs I have known were definitely not! Still the bestjob I ever had. Thanks for refreshing my memories

Perfect and loved to watch this video exploring the Ships Engine room the HEART OF THE SHIP with you Chief Makoi and discuss the function of some of those equipments and motors.

Here I get a feeling of engine room without go to ship... It's very fantastic chief makoi. Keep On It's very important who are studying marine engineering

again so complex, but very fascinating to know each part and functions 😍

My dad was an electrician onboard a tanker ship. He used to overhaul those big generators. Definitely not a glamorous job but one that people should appreciate more.

6:14 Nice to see that technique being used in a vid. Cool.

Thanks for the thorough tour :) Best engine room tour I've seen (and I've seen quite a few, big ship equipment fascinates me :) )

A beautiful video 😍 cheif and Chief I have learnt that different pipeline(air,fuel,lube etc) have different colours but in this video i find everything similar.....

Your way of narrating the context with contents rich are awesome , I n joy the way you create Jabs each time you is at hilt.God bless Sir.

I love your channel, Chief! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Excellent videos! You cover everything very well. You are also a natural narrator. Very articulate speech.

Been waiting for these. Where my dad works. The engine room😊👍👍

I have always been passionate about the sea, watching the videos, I fell in love with navigation, I confess if I were young I would leave my profession as a professor of history and geography and look for a job in a shipping company

Just waiting for a new episode Chief... Thks once again for sharing with all of us. You made my day!!!

Did 35 years in the merch loved every moment !!

Nice video - thanks for sharing. Really interesting to see all the waste/water systems and pumps as well as the power plants themselves.

I just watched a bunch of your videos--they're interesting and very well done. This one and the 'starting the main engine' video were particularly great. I've seen several videos of engine room tours, but shipboard machinery is so different from anything else that it's hard to figure out much of what you're seeing. The comprehensive narration you gave on this made all the difference. Thanks much for the education, I learned a lot.

nice tour on the engine room chief !!!

Thank you sir I learned many things from here as a training electrical officer

Im currently taking up marine engineering course. And this helps a lot familiarizing ship's machineries. Thank you chief!

Enjoy watching your Seaman vlog and more power Chief

Thank you for another great video. It is rather ironic that everything discharged onboard her , is cleaner than Borocay.

Oh I miss the ships and engine rooms. Great vid! Greetings from a swedish marine engineer that is now days ashore. As an operator on a Nuclear power plant. Stay safe and take care of the ship and crew 😎

Recently only discovered your channel and I'm hooked and subscribed! Probably not possible but is there a way in which we could see the propeller in action at sea? I LOVE big ships hence your channel. You explain things so well and plainly being the non technical woman I am! I'd love to tour a big ship one day but not possible as I'm wheelchair bound. Have jet skied around them though whilst in Port. AMAZING!🇦🇺

Chief, pls vlog more about the engine department. So I can gain more knowledge about the engines. I'm first year college taking BSMarE.

Nice videos, I wanted to do that career once upon a time but finally I chose another path in my life which I do not regret. However quite a few times when I was teenager and curious travelling with liner ferries I did some sneaky things and infiltrated into these "crew only" doors and managed to get down to the engine rooms. It was back in the days without CCTV. From the moment I pass through the door to the place that passengers do not go and feel the heat, the noises, the narrow passages and stairs I was ecstatic! It is funny what these passengers might do, if you ever work in a liner you have to keep an eye on them...

Thank's chief makoi have shared your knowledge🙏🙏🙏

All that oil, sludge, heat and exhaustion makes me think that ships would be so much better off being Hydrogen powered. I know it isn't easy or cheap, but it'll be a lot better than having to deal with all that crap :)

Chief, you forgot to mention the refrigeration plant and the air conditioning system.

It was like exactly the same ship I've used to work before. Same gross tonnage and everything. Great video sir! Very informative and useful. Hoping sir that you would make videos regarding on how to overhaul certain machineries on board or on how to maintain them. Thank you sir!

Great video - very clear and informative!

Your camerawork is seriously underrated, extremely high quality videos as always!

What an absolutely fascinating insight into a world most people rarely get to see. Thank you Chief MAKOi for taking the time to produce such high quality videos! Safe sailing :)

I m into ISP field but always good to learn from other experiences.

You guys go to shore leave. I could spend all my time right here 😎👍

Great video! I'm just graduated from naval architecture but I'm very interested in work as a marine engineer. Thanks for your great explanation. :)

The marine engineer is a fantastic profession,i I worked almost 22 year as first engineer,Im watching this nice video,I remmenber all component and divece,fresh water evaporetors ..boiler ..generators..purifier..pumps till lathe machine..congratulations chief and many thank...from Uruguay

I’d figure there must be a lot of R&D work going on in developing ship propulsion and electrical/fresh water generation systems etc that run on renewable forms of energy rather than heavy fossil fuel petroleum distillates. Need to figure out how to make these necessary processes carbon-neutral very very soon!

It is what it is seems to be the motto of seafarers.

I love your vlog sir. Thank you kase madami akong na tutunan as an engine cadet. God bless sir at ingat sa inyo lahat jan!

Nice sir I like to know much about engines.

Sir thank you for this Vlog, It's a big help specially smin na galing interisland na mag babakasakali pa sa International vessel , Thank you sir. Tomorrow may technical Interviee ako sa Maersk. big help talaga Thank you sir And God bless,

Chief makoi watching your video better than watching the movie.your video very clear and your English so good 😊 your explanation is very good .when you finished your merchant marine service . There is another carrier waiting for you which movie director. As I watched ur video ur good at it what ever you do. People are lucky to work under you.

Very nice video Sir.. Lots of Love from India❤❤

Nice to remember while i was in engine room im retired 2011 u have new and modern engine

Chief ang vlog mo malaki maitutulong sa mga hopeful's natin kababayan na magiging seaman...

Pwedeng pang class presentation. Ganda 😁😁😁

Well put, it is what it is and someone's got to do it! I did it for 4 years

Chief thanks for the videos. Huge help in my cadetship

Superb video 👍👍

Good job chef makoi...nakakainspired po lahat ng vlog tnx always takecare.

Great video. Thank you.

Great video thanks a lot 👍😊

That engine room looks nice and clean. I served as a stoker on guided missile destroyers. The firerooms on them were mighty hot.lol. There is a short utube video of Hmas Hobart number two fireroom. It's interesting to see, and makes your engineroom look inviting.lol. Also, really find your videos interesting. If I had my time again, I'd be wanting your job.

Another vlog. GOD BLESS chief

wow - what a great video!!! Thanks so much for posting it.

I like the workshop !!

I did it as a Electrical Officer for 32 good years I loved my job.

Propulsion, electricity, compressed air, and fresh hot/cold water.

Great videos I really enjoy your contributions to those who work on the high seas. Like you stated someone has to do it. :)

Good Job Sir.

Very helpful video chief Makoi for us aspirants... #marineEngineer
