Life At Sea In The Merchant Marine Aboard A Cargo Ship
Over 90% of the world's trade is carried by sea. Follow along a day in the life of a cargo ship Deck Officer aboard the Maersk Montana as the ship prepares to set sail from Charleston, South Carolina for Houston, Texas. The container ship has finished cargo operations but the channel has been closed due to dense fog. As the 0400-0800 and 1600-2000 watch officer, I will take you along my day as I stand a foggy port watch in the morning, and navigational bridge watch in the evening. See the various meals we eat onboard, the cabin accommodations, and some of the shipboard operations that take place as we set sail from Charleston.

"Things you never knew you were interested in."
You certainly right about that.
Yes I agree 😃👍
Yes, I want to own a cargo ship now.
Absolutely! This has me wanting to book a cargo ship instead of a cruise ship. Seriously!
As someone who has sailed and done what he has described here.... this looks a little to pretty... its not always like this, depends on the ship and the rank😅😅
There's something so intensely magical about a ship and port when it's still dark out. Loved every second of this 👍
I worked on the USS George Washington in Newport News at a painter in overnight. Wasn't fun in the slightest Depends on what you're doing I guess
I WAS THINKING THE SAME! I'd love to have a simple walk around all those cranes and containers at night, with all the fog. It's so fascinating because it's peaceful but spectral at the same time
A great artist named Tor Lundvall has a whole album about that kind of stuff. Its called "The Shipyard"
I wonder why KZhead decided to suggest this to me today.. 🤔
Yeah same here. I watched it all without skipping, Bryan is a good guy.
I don't regret it :)
Probably because of the Suez Canal incident
Evergreen
I got here, I think, because I watch Chief MAKOi.
As a maritime student, it's actually awesome when something that is taught in school is applied in real life. Can't wait to be in a ship one day!

My First Attempt at Documenting Life at Sea During a Storm. The infamous Hurricane Bawbag (Cyclone Friedhelm) hit us in December 2011. Winds peaked at a massive 120 knots (138 mph) This video was originally on another one of my KZhead channels kzhead.info/sun/ityOctN5fJp7oJs/bejne.html
so u got assigned?
God bless you
How did it work out for you?
those stairs would turn me around right back to bed lmaooo
I welcome the lack of elevators. I take stairs two or three at a time. Excellent exercise!!

I’ll would give up all the products on that shipping things on it just to give another job on the land jejaje and saves all that gas for your self cleaned air sky and the world 🌎 lol 07 joe
I think elevators would mess up the whole boat
Stairs? No stairs aboard a (naval) ship: Ladderwell However, merchantmen might use such lubberly terminology :) Blow me down mate!, but I do love the evocative and anachronistic language of the sea
You just know a lady like that is going to cook you some good food.
That, she did. It was even laid out very nicely on the plate. 💯
Can you have seconds?
I spent years eating food at camps in the oil field and along the pipeline. We always had great food and on holidays we had things like lobster and steak. Every Sunday was prime rib.
I know a lady that is cook on ships on the Great Lakes. Her food is great and her stories are even better.
I work in the shipping industry myself, not on a vessel but I take care and supply a fleet of more than 50 tankers operating worldwide. (sea charts, log books etc.) Really refreshing to see what a day on a vessel really looks like. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for assisting my fellow seafarers that are on the ships! I always love going into Bremerhaven and Hamburg in Germany. Greetings from USA
Now I want to see what work likes from your side as well lol.
How did you start? I would love a career as this. Seems challenging but exciting and probably rewarding
@@BryanBoyle Man I would love a shot at job as this. I just received my Twic card and tug boats are puny compared to this.
@@joshuamenard699 Tugboats are freaking awesome man.
It's fascinating to see how other people live their lives. Thanks for sharing, sir.

I’m a pilot for United Airlines and I find the shipping industry fascinating. Keep making videos
I'm a cashier for Walmart and i find the flying industry fascinating !
I am training to work in the maritime industry because the job will give me the predictable hours and good enough pay to pursue being a pilot. But I think the maritime industry will be great in its own right.
@@trz5rtzrtz45zfghfghrt4 I work for a sporting goods store for roughly a Wal-Mart wage and I wanted to see what it takes to be a pilot. I had a meeting with a flight school and they explained the costs and consistent flight hours and study time required to do it. I was super interested, but retail doesn't pay enough nor have the consistent schedule to pursue it. That is what drove me to the martitime industry, which I just completed my basic qualifications for. I think I will like maritime transport, but either way it will give me the money and time to pursue whatever I want to do.
One of the many jobs that quietly make the world go round. Really interesting! I will check more of your channel.

Went out and look for 'the life on a containership' to find out how those guys live who are stuck in the Suez canal... So now I know! 👍
Great video and very educational as always. Thanks
Enjoyed it thanks man keep uploading more
Really Interesting. Thanks for Making Videos Like This. Enjoyed.
Glad to see you’re still out there
Great video, I love the details. Thanks, Bryan!
Thanks for the great video Bryan, and your channel in general. I've always wondered what is was like to sail on a container ship. Oh, and I've been over that bridge in this video lots of times, but I've never seen it from below.
Thank you Bryan! Very interesting content for us couch sailors to learn about unique careers!!!!!
What a fascinating tour, thanks Bryan!
Best one yet. Great job. Smooth dude
Been watching videos on shipping for the past month. This came up, cool series.
What an AWESOME new episode!! THKS for sharing with us and best wishes from Spain.
Thank you for sharing! Very cool to see this.
Great job on the video. Thanks for sharing it.
Quality is amazing as always. I can understand it take alot of efforts to make such amazing videos. Thank you man
Great job bro... Straight ahead telling of a story. Great job again.
Another excellent documentary. I love them all. Bravo.
Keep up the excellent job! We love your videos.
A great video sir as it helps aspiring seafearers to know about their life on board .....keep on making more videos!! As I am currently doing my marine engineering it was a lot of help for me
Fascinating! Such amazing vessels carrying precious cargo around the world with not a huge crew
Great video! Love the ships!
most intriguing, thank you for having us along mate
Great content. There is something satisfying about getting this glimpse of life on board. Keep up the good work and be safe.
this was very interesting, thanks....
Thank you for this great little insight in a job we all need but never much think of.
Thank you for doing these videos. I find it very interesting to see all the things you do. And to be able to see different parts of the ship.
Fascinating insight, I always wonder what this job would be like, and the ‘mundane’ daily routines. Great video, this is KZhead at its best! Greetings from Leicester, England.
I had on board watching bulk cargo operation several times, but I had no idea how deck officer works during that time. Your video is impressive and enlighten me. Thanks.
Great video!!! Thanks for giving us a tour of your ship and explaining the things you do when you are on watch.
Interesting, enjoyed, interesting to see meal times, and bridge of course, always curious about food options
My boys and I would work as night mates on that ship when it came down to Houston. That was back when we were fresh out of school. Good times.
Nice, the night mate gigs are usually pretty good on these ships in Houston since we are in port for a day and a half. You can usually get a couple shifts in. Are you still with MMP?
My dad was a cargo ship captain, watching your video brought memories of the time i sailed with him.
Thanks for the video Bryan. I always felt best when leaving port and going back to sea.
Great insight into ops on a cargo ship.
Thanks for making these videos. I really like them and look forward to watching.
Because I was following what was happening on the canal recently, my wife asked if I missed going to sea. Yes I do. 6 years in the navy and 12 in the merchant marines as a QMED. I enjoyed it greatly, thanks for showing.
Enjoyed the vid. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your hard work! you keep the world working.
Just love how everything is so clean and neat on the ship! Great video, Bryan! Thanks for all the insights and a greeting to ur fellow crew!
I’ll would give up all the products on that shipping things on it just to give another job on the land jejaje and saves all that gas for your self cleaned air sky and the world 🌎 lol 07 joe
Thank you so much for the amazing insight into a job of which I had never thought I would see and get to know about so much! These ships fascinate me!

Thank you for your service! 😉😉
This was so interesting. I've always wondered what it was like working on a container ship. I love your content!!
its so clean and tidy, whoever does the cleaning does a great job!
Thanks!
Just found your channel, very interesting...subscribed and will watch your other videos. Thanks for creating and sharing your content for us to see!
Excellent video and clear comentary. Fascinated to know tasks and intensive team work needed all the time. Thank you
This is especially interesting getting some insight into these big ships considering what is going on in the Suez canal
Hi Bryan, thanks so much for everything you did to make this video. It gives those of us not fortunate enough to be seafarers a view into your life at sea.
Thanks Adam. I’ve been getting a lot of great positive feedback about these vlog style videos, so expect more of these in the future!
Pretty neat. Thanks for posting.
Reminds me of my time in the Navy. Very similar duties. The accommodations and food on the Maersk are much nicer however. Great video Bryan.
I haul containers from rail yards (likely from ships like these), and I appreciate the work you guys do. It keeps supplies moving, which keeps people like me working. 😁👍
I love the mechanical hum noise. its like white noise, nice to fall asleep to
Yup
I agree, but I imagine this is a weakness for anyone attempting to work at sea.
Fascinating video - thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this video! I don't know why I love the cargo ships
This is your best video so far, I always wondered about how the lines adjusted for the tides, never would have thought it was automatic. Very interesting to see how you spend your day. What keeps you occupied when you are off duty? Once again, thanks for the video, the views were excellent. Take care Bryan and stay safe.
Glad you liked these vlog style videos the most. I will be doing more of those in the future. I spend a lot of my off duty time making and editing videos, doing photography, and working out. Occasionally we get the crew together for some card games too!
I live in Charleston and see these ships everyday, pretty cool to actually see things from your perspective

Good channel, interesting and well done. Cool to see things from that perspective.
Thanks for this insight! Subscribed!
Bryon, I just discovered your channel and subscribed, I've followed a couple similar channels and enjoyed them. It's been over a half century since I served on 3 different ships in the 60's (Electrician) and it's a treat for me to "go back to sea" in my old age , on YT, with the benefit of 4K, image stabilized camera's and people like you. Entering and leaving ports and following on Google Earth is almost like being there, thank you for your effort.
Glad to be able to bring you back to sea! I’m sure things look a little different from shipping in the 60s
Seems personality is a huge factor aboard such working ship. As an old dude, Bryan I believe you have tons more communicative power than many doctors I’ve had over the years. You instill calm, confidence in your abilities, skill sets, moreover a deep sense of self that transfers good vibes towards others. You make people feel all is well in your world. I world until now I never realized. Thank You 🙏 Bakersfield, California
Brilliant video thanks for uploading , stay safe .
Really awesome video.thanks Bryan.
i’m more than positive one thing i’ve ordered or ate or some how possessed i got from you. thank you for what you do this is also amazing. great to see what other people do for a living
I'm a Prairie boy, so these large ships are very intriguing, have always wanted to be part of this industry. Thank you for the video!
Nice video Bryan. Thank you.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding ! I've always wondered what life on a cargo ship was like. When I was in the Navy we'd see them, usually at a distance or when we entered a port. I was on an aircraft carrier. I loved life at sea. Especially the night sky. I wish you had explained the navigational screen showing your ship & the sea around you. You've got an amazing life there. Do you ever get free time to go ashore in ports or not ? I figure they want to get in & out as quickly as possible. Stay safe & God bless you & all sailors!
I really appreciate your direct approach with the video and explanations for your different tasks, im beginning my officer training this year so it's awesome to see everything you do
Thanks! Always glad to hear my videos are helpful for future Mariners. Where will you be training?
@@BryanBoyle they're always helpful, and I'll be at the NSCC Nautical Institute in Nova Scotia!
@@differenttigers What the heck happened to your Oilers ?? LOL
Go Flames
@@scottsmo7715 Ken Holland happened
Puttin on the feedbag would be my favorite part. Awesome for sharing Bryan!
Ur my new hero man..ty for videos
Didn't think cargo vessels had such comfortable and luxurious quarters. The ship is clean and tidy and the rooms are huge
It's not all the cargo vessels like that. It's mainly the Container Ships that have huge quarters because of the required height that the bridge needs in order to be able to have a good view, due to the loading of the containers on deck of course. Because of that some extra space that can be used is created in the accommodation area. Other smaller vessels, like handy or kamsarmax bulk carriers etc usually have smaller quarters.
"no personal cells" as you stroll in with your camera recording. :)
There's also a phone on charge on the desk as he walks in as well XD
i'm gonna assume he got prior permission to do this lol. I imagine the captain saw some value in showing what life was like on board..might bring people in to the profession. That's my assumption at least.
Thanks for sharein. U have an interesting job. Be safe out there
Thanks for the tour.
Well this is timely
This is beautiful. You can almost feel like you're there. Chilly and wet, the faint smell of oil and whatever brine is in the water. Cold metal everywhere and being almost alone in all that space

Thanks for sharing. Awesome 👌
That's really cool my friend , thanks for showing us around a cargo ship . 👍😀
OMG. This dude never blinks. I guess that makes for a consummate watchman........lol Great vids for us to watch vicariously.
Haha never noticed that before.. I think I was so caught up in what I was going to say to the camera I forgot to blink!
@@BryanBoyle TOTALLY understandable. Most have no clue how hard it is to make good content vids. Comment was meant as observation, not criticism. Keep up the great work
Yea this whole channel has totally brought me out of my comfort zone since I’ve always been shy talking on camera. I appreciate your comments whether they are observation or constructively worded criticism. My hope is to continue to improve my public speaking in all my videos, so your feedback is appreciated!
Port smothered in fog is one of the creepiest 'Why does this feel nostalgic?' settings ever.
It’s kind of unsettling too.
I had to run to the bank in the middle of the night (they have a 24 hour atm) and as I left my neighborhood at like 3 am, this ultra heavy fog rolled in, you couldn't see past maybe a foot infront of the vehicle, it was really really creepy. It was like silent hill thick. you gotta slow way the hell down, like to a crawl or you might get in to a wreck because you can't even see the traffic lights until you're 10 feet from them, i saw a dude shoot past me going 10 over the speed limit and I was like holy hell you maniac you're gonna kill your self or someone else!
Thank you for a detailed list of your information
"Stove-piping it" sounds like a very interesting euphemism.
pug life one says stove pipe all the timme dont know why
I would had loved to have a career such as this. I joined the Navy in 1980 and never got assigned a ship and was denied ship duty for reenlisting. As an HM2 Hospital Corpsman assigned to the Fleet Marine Force with the Marines I would not get the chance. I should had gone to school when I was discharged to become a Merchant Marine. Great video Sir. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Well this was a glimpse back through the sliding door for me. Great video, thank you.
That was good. Thank you!😊
Not really sure why I watched this, turned out to be very interesting. Hope you're getting enough sleep there skip.
I really enjoyed seeing all the details. In fact, I would have liked even more details. What I took away from this is that if everything is routine, that's good. But I can see that the system is organized to spot problems before they become critical.
I’ll would give up all the products on that shipping things on it just to give another job on the land jejaje and saves all that gas for your self cleaned air sky and the world 🌎 lol 07 joe
Thank you for making these videos. It certainly is informative👍🤗
Thank you so much for these videos. My grandson is a Marine Engineer for Maersk and this gives me a close up view of the life he loves.
I've always fancied a career in the merchant navy but filter coffee!!! No thanks. I'd need a Nespresso machine at the least. Still, I'm over 60 now so too old for a career change anyway. Thanks for the interesting video... love this sort of stuff. (-:
nothing glorious nowadays, working 18 hours days when you're in port
