Study Call Ep 04

Hi guys! I'm still stuck at home due to travel restrictions brought about by the pandemic. I'll be doing these lecture videos for the meantime for those of you who are interested in learning a bit about the technical aspect of seafaring. We'll get back to regular programming once things get sorted out. Thanks and enjoy!

Dear Chief Makoi,

I only discovered you as a YouTuber after the EVER GIVEN incident, but I have been very deeply impressed with your posts since then. And believe me, I have seen a lot of 'em !

I have been a Master Mariner (in command) for nearly 28 years, and voluntarily retired from sailing with Wilhelmsen in 2017 once I turned 60.

However, this is the very first time that I have come across a site like yours. Extremely informative, straightforward, and completely free of all bullshit.

I congratulate you, Sir, and wish you more power in your future endeavours. My only regret is that I did not get a chance to sail with you. You have a diehard fan in India !

This is how online teaching should be done😶

I'm a bit late, but I enjoyed the vid, Chief! I worked on a 3 stage EVAP unit which used stream from our 125 psi boiler to create the vacuum. It was a ballet style juggling act to keep the two running in harmony (the boiler and the evaporator). The USN had given us parts from a Yugo expecting us to make them work like a Cadillac... 😎. Lots of good memories that I wouldn't trade for the world. Thanks again, Chief.

P.s. if you ever stop in Guam, hit me up👍🏽

I'm a teacher of a Italian miritime school and I thank you a lot! Your tutorial are very helpfull for my lessons

[firenycamazon]

Fantastic! As an educator myself, I've gotta say bro, this class was on point! 'Nuff respect! Thank you, Chief!

[josephekanem]

I love your simplifications, my Chief

[snakebait]

Chief, thanks for your educational video! My wife and I were just discussing this then I found your video! I knew there was a desalination plant on ships but didn't know how they work. Keep the great vids coming!

[ivancerritos]

Chief. Apreciate your effort by doing these videos to teach us something new for some of us. Thanks. Great info.

Excellent description. I worked with distillation plants in the Navy. They were 1950's era two stage flash type 12, 000 gallon per day. Old tech, left over in a newer ship, but worked exactly the same. Thanks for making these videos, they are very enjoyable.

Chief, first of all I appreciate what you're doing for giving us mariners "free training". I went to PMMA myself class 85, deck side. Right after academy I was fortunate to be enlisted in the US Navy and worked as an electrician. After the Navy, I applied as a marine electrician thru Seafarer's International Union of America (SIU). I became an Unlicensed Junior Engineer. After having 1, 008 days seatime, I was able to take the 3rd Engineer exam given by the US Coast Guard. Your training videos help me a lot in understanding the engineering plant. It enhances my knowledge to be able to perform my job as an engineer. Knowledge is power, indeed. I'm sure many aspiring mariners benefit from sharing your knowledge. Thank you.

You're a great guy. Everything is so simple with you.
God bless you.

That was very interesting. Since I work on swimming pools. We work with venturis and pumps. Yet we use the salt to produce chlorine through electrolysis.

I can't get over how informative and interesting this was!
