ive seen a coupe of your videos, they were recommended out of nowhere, I never thought I would have found cargo ship life and structure interesting. Thanks!

Thank you for breaking this all down for those of us that don't know.

I just found this video which is extremely helpful to me better than any other website explaining the works of cargo ship crews. And yes I chose this video to be the resource of my final reports on the "Elements of Shipping" class cause why the heck not? It's easy to understand and your video helps me out a lot. Keep up your work Bryan!

This information is surprisingly hard to come by so thanks for this invaluable video! All the information on the internet is so very vague. It would be awesome to get a video with a breakdown of the most common daily tasks of each crewmember.

We had about 30-35 on the Lykes Bros stick ships I worked on in the early 70s.

When I was in the MN we had about 10 officers and either about 20 crew (Indians) or 8 crew (British). This was on tankers of all sizes, the Indians worked on the older ships and the British on modern, this was in the '70s.

Hey Bryan, I found your channel through another mariner channel. I just wanted to say I love your videos and I hope you keep them up. You have my dream job so if it's cool I'll just continue to live vicariously through you😂

It's either 23 or 33. I remember drinking beer and playing ping pong with 23 of them.

Wow the stewards department is really small. They must work pretty hard in order to keep everybody fed and everything clean and orderly.

On the ships I’ve worked on also container ships the electrical engineer is an officer, and for us it’s motorman and engine trainee which are the non licensed crew in the engine department

With a modest sized crew there must be assistance from people in the ports for loading and unloading. It must take a lot of effort to secure the cargo.

Interesting video thanks. What happened to the Radio Officer and his Electronics Technician? Back in the day these guys were the kings of shipboard Network data management, and masters of the Morse Code speed key.

[getx]

Answered exactly what I wanted to know! thanks!

Wow, my crew we only had 9 crew members. We had A captain, chief mate either 2nd or 3rd mate, 2 AB, chief engineer, either 2nd or 3rd engineer, a cook and a cadet (which was me).

Who did ship's maintenance like welding and plumbing and such and fire fighting? Very good explanation. I was in engineering, but a fire fighter, shipfitter, welder, damage control and maintenance. Thanks.

Nowadays it's compulsory for electrician to hold Electro technical officer licence/C.O.C & it's one of the important rank. Anyways it varies from companies to companies.

[Tuglife]

I'm ready to join the crew in the Deck Department
