Ship's Chief Engineer : Daily Routine At Sea | Chief MAKOi

Here's what I usually do while the Ship is at sea and the Main Engine is running.

I've worked in Electrical/Mechanical maintenance all my working career (presently retired). Never did I think I would be watching shipboard maintenance videos, yet here I am. Machinery is just fascinating to me. Thank you Chief for bringing your world to us.

Every job ever done...

Thanks for the peek behind your daily routine, Chief!

Thank you for generously using your personal internet time to post this vid. We know that you are very busy, but we sometimes can forget that when you are out to sea, that you do not have unlimited internet access time like we might have.

The Chief Engineers are always the unsung heroes of ship travel. They keep ships running, and in an emergency, can save lives. My grandpa was a chief engineer in the U.S Navy, and made it to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

Many thanks!
Your days are at the same time very similar and very different to our days of running the engine rooms on Mississippi River towboats. Much of what is done is the same, and we had less equipment and fewer crew. (Usually just me and a helper standing square watches.)
Your videos give me a view into another world, I'll be back for more. Thanks again!

I am in Iowa, its after four PM and I am stuck in a line at the Des Moines sewer plant waiting to unload a tanker of restaurant FOG (fats, oil, grease). Apparently the plant is suffering from some sort of failure. On a normal day I can get through here in under 20 minutes. Today I've been here several hours with three trucks ahead of me. Watching your video is helping me to pass the time. Thank you.

I liked that you described engine room conditions and let the volume of it play while talking, unless you’ve been there most people wouldn’t understand the conditions of working in that heat, noise and vibration. It always amazed me how engineers could communicate with each other from different levels or across a space, me, what did he say?

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to make these videos. It is very interesting to watch what goes on in an industry and environment that most of us will never see in person. The content is outstanding with a fine balance of narration in terms that make it easy to understand. Safe travels.

Always good to hear from you, Chief, and I like "day in the life" videos.

Remember an old Chief showing me how to 'spin' out a purifier by filling it with gas oil about 50yrs ago. Worked a treat. You'll have to explain to the viewers the art of communication in the E.R. with the noise of the turbo blowers howling. No salt tablets for breakfast? Great series.

Always Feel good to hear from you Chief Makoi, I'll be looking forward to see much of your videos so interesting, hoping one day I will be like you.

I’m about to go to a maritime academy for deck. Hats off to you guys that can make a career in a 98 degree engine room turning a wrench. I’ll continue complaining how cold it is on the bridge😂

[alanwilliams]

Very interesting as always. I imagine that you haven’t had many typical “at sea” days recently and will be looking forward to getting under way again soon. Always looking forward to your next video.

"A cadet may work from sun to sun but the Chiefs work is never done" Thanks for the look into the day-to-day.

A very clean engine room, congratulations .

[Truckngirl]

Thank you for letting us into your world! Do you spend some of your leisure time editing your videos, to be uploaded while in port? Your YouTube videos are so nicely done, plus I love your drone work, too! You said 2 GB a MONTH? Damn, yeah, that would limit you to emails without photos...If I were a woman of means, I would gift you a Viasat receiver and a year's unlimited service! You deserve it for your educational and entertaining content!

I was a marine engineer in the Canadian Navy... lots of the equipment looks familiar, only yours is bigger ! we used to melt the plastic waste into " hockey pucks" that could be disposed of later
