How We Steer A Cargo Ship | Life At Sea

Cargo Ships are steered from the navigation bridge using various equipment that allows for both manual and automatic control of the vessel. This video gives a brief overview of the equipment used to safely navigate and steer a cargo ship, as well as a demonstration of the different steering modes available onboard.

Came over to your channel because Sal suggested you with enthusiasm!

Highly appreciate this video Bryan, i get more info and demonstration from you than my years in class. If possible could you do a detailed demonstration videos on Radar and ECDIS and how to use them. Or even on other systems as well.

Another 1st class video.. you'd make a good instructor.

I always enjoy learning about any type of mechanical systems! Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to make these videos for us.

Wow, this is one of the clearest video explains the steering system on board a cargo ship, short helpful and easy to understand.
Thanks sir and have a safe voyage

[Gersberms]

Absolutely fascinating. I love that you guys switch daily between redundant systems. You'll immediately know if there's a problem with your backup system.

Without having watched the video any further: It is interesting how, on a ship, if you steer whilst on autopilot, the system does not accept those rudder inputs, instead beeps in order to tell you whereas it is the opposite on airplanes. On airplanes you override the autopilot with your input.

Ii is always impressive to see what you have to know to operate all of those controls. I was in plant operations for may years and have seen quite a few technology changes. It seems you could run your ship with very few people! Thanks for sharing!

Ha! Its funny that you called it a "barbecue". When I saw that in another video, I ACTUALLY thought that was an outdoor grill.(barbecue)
Yea... I'm clueless. Lol

2:34 Damn, I was expecting a T-bone steak. 😂

Another really interesting video! I'm really glad there are still people making videos about their passion, rather than their patreon revenue! Thanks Bryan!

[deniscrosby]

Thanks Bryan, quite a difference from my helm duties on a Navy Destroyer in the 60’s!

[bernalfiesaysip]

Never been on a container ship before, but İ've been on bulk carriers and general cargo for almost 6 years and its totally different.

Appreciate your videos. Your the best maritime YouTuber!

[donnabarstrom]

Thanks for sharing your information with us very interesting

[darklord]

Had no idea that you applied counter rudder when completing a change of course, great stuff .

NEVER SEEN A SOPHISTICATED STEERING NEW GADJET LIKE THIS HAVE SEEN USUAL SMALL STEERING WHEEL BRIAN WELL DONE EXPOSURE

[John-vhig]

Very helpful quick crash course. Thank you Bryan. I learned a lot.

[carolclmcm]

OK, this is incredible. I love how systems work together.

[loismiller]

Love this stuff. Well done, clear and concise video. Thanks to Sal for sending me here.
