In March I will be back aboard and continue making new videos so continue so stay tuned, and thank you all for watching, and check out the other videos from the ship too. I think you will like them. --Jeff

Thank you for the Great Video. For me this is real close to my heart. My father sailed for APL / Sealand when I was a kid. He said he would bring me along for a Pacific trip to Japan. He never got the chance to do it. He passed away. He was a third generation Merchant Marine and a Captain. Thanks aging for the Memories

It’s remarkable how neat and clean the boat is kept.

Thanks to these awesome vlogs, i now have that bug again lol. I miss the sea so much now. Was in the US Navy for 6 years aboard CVN-70 USS Carl Vinson from 1998 - 2004 as an Aviation Ordnanceman, and now, at 41 years old, i would give my left eye to be abaord the Montana with you as a crewmate (shipmate). I miss the smell of salt water in the air, the spray of the sea during storms, the sound of the gulls overhead close to land, the sunsets and the comradarie. Im probably too old for Maersk operations now but sure would love to be out on the sea again. Thanks for sharing your vlogs with us. Fair winds and following seas.

Thanks for this I am a current merchant seaman I will be bringing my 36 years going to sea retirement on October 30th 2019

I was an AB for over 40 yrs, sailing on most types of ships, container ships are the most boring for an AB, had the good fortune to sail on a few Maersk gas tankers in the mid 80s carrying methane worldwide,good ships withgood food and plenty of overtime, retired now and reside in Thailand.

Very detailed video. For people like me, who have never been on such a ship, I must say, it is quite dangerous life but for the sailors it is just another day. Thanks for showing all & everything with such care.

I dont know why it was recommended to me but it's facinating :)

GREAT video. Growing up on Boston Harbor I've watched hundreds of ships pass through. From the SS France, QE-2 to LNG Tankers and Cargo Vessels. I never realized all that goes into one of these engineering marvels.. Thnx for the post..

Loved it, amazing. Impressed with how clean everything is on board

This was a very interesting video. Not often do you get to see the inner workings of a huge cargo ship. It still amazes me how they can navigate such a huge ship. I doesn't seem like it can stop on a dime.

I really find container ships and the life/environment of the merchant marine truly fascinating. Thanks!

Matt an Jeff Thank you so much for the wonderful videos I enjoy watching the ships and the ocean view thank you for your time and doing this for us God bless you both

Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for showing us around your ship.

This is unbelievable ! These guys have got brains.thankyou.the pressure from the sea with all of that weight bearing down on the bottom must be frightening.

I hear rhythmic patterns as you descend the stairway into the engine room and while browsing the generators. Great tour of a nicely kept ship.

Thank you very much for showing your experience on board container voyage. I so happened had the same experience on a 72 days around the globe . An experience and adventure which I will not forget.

Great video! Thank you for taking us on the tour!

Amazing video ..for years I rode the Ferry in New York Harbor and always seen a Mearsk ship so big and bad ass ..thank you awesome !!!

My husband worked from 1970 - 1996 for ACL then Maersk sea port. This video brings me fond memories. Thank you guys!!!

Matt - never saw a tour like this ... could not believe the engine and generator rooms huge !! also surprised about the work shop as well --- thank you !!

Wow engine room clean no oil on the floor. I worked in a dairy... with someone who was on container ships... He always told how clean CS were now I believe him . Appreciate You.

amazing, awesome, wonderful thanks for the great tour of your colossal vessel

Wow, great first hand look on a shipping container!

Absolutely fascinating!! Thanks for sharing!

A floating city. Amazing!

Looks fairly decent, I must say. Not a 5-star hotel, but it's a job, not a holiday. Looks like Maersk takes pretty good care of its staff.

It's always enjoy to look at the ships that you bring to us regardless which ones they are all I can say is thank you so very much and bless you all🌊🚢🙏

Awesome video - it’s amazing to think that this is pretty much what’s inside every big ocean going ship!

Very cool. I enjoyed the engine room the most. So many moving parts to keep those ships operating. Impressive.

Thanks I very much enjoyed your video I've always wanted to see the inside of a ship thanks again did a great job appreciate taking your time out to do it

Hi Matthew! Thank you so much for letting us take that tour with you. I absolutely loved every minute of it. Fascinating! Many, many thanks. Kate

Thanks for giving us a tour. Much appreciated. I love big ships.

thanks for taking the time to show me around your ship. very interesting. best regards from the atlantic coast of ireland. chris

The quality of this video is outstanding

Thanks for the great tour of your ship. Thanks also to Maersk Line for letting us see a working ship. It is so clean and organized a truly amazing piece of machinery. Happy Trails

Awesome walk through! Always wanted to browse around these ships. Thanks for the tour

I enjoyed it great tour can't wait to see more thanks

Awesome video. I would love a job on a ship like that. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos.

Really fascinating, if you love the sea and travel, and have some great pals aboard this is a job that would never be boring, thanks for sharing your aboard ship views with us.

Thanks for posting this. Complexity of the ship is unfathomable (no pun intended). Hope to travel on one of these as a passenger sometime soon.

Nice job on this video very informing for one who never been aboard.

I like the video. The Maersk Montana is a beautiful ship. 🙂🙂🙂

Capt Jeff, Thank you for the time to shoot, post and inform. Had no clue the involved workings of these beasts. The maintenance room with its own lathe and anvil Is beyond my imagination! Again , appreciate you and your service Sir.

Thank you, for a fabulous and informative video!

I love these videos - so cool and relaxing. Thank you for sharing ♥

Awesome videos! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for getting back to me, enjoyed your tour. When I was 10, my Family was on our standard two week Vacation in New Hampshire. We met and became friends with a Merchant Marine officer, who was an Engineer On the Tanker Gulfknight. He had a cottage next to ours and we invited him on several boat trips. He was a true Sailor , born in Norway. This was back in the mid fifties, and Mr. Stenslin made a very strong impression on myself and my Family.

Outstanding tour! Great job thank you

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for your great tour

Excellent!! Thanks for the wonderful Video.

Fascinating !!! Much enjoyed and appreciated.

Thanks Matt and Jeff. This is by far the greatest video I have seen from a Maersk Line vessel. Living in the Netherlands I drive now and then to the container harbour Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam. My biggest wish is to visit a vessel like this, or even better, cruise for a few weeks. Proud for you all keeping a vessel like this up and running.

Watching from Jamaica, very interesting video, thanks for the tour.

Man, the machine shop and engine room are clean as a whistle!

I love videos of stuff like this. Fulfills a lot of kid dreams from when I was little. ;) Amazing to see the stuff in detail.

I can't thank you enough for this video. Ships are my passion

How impressive. Very neat and tidy it looks.

Sometimes I wonder how it is that I belong to the same species who developed such sophisticated technology.

Thank You for sharing the nav bridge. I used to work for Kelvin Hughes and Mackay Marine so I spent most of my time working on nav bridges and I do believe that I worked on your radars at one point in time in the last 10 years. I saw a dirty S-Band antenna up there.

How impressive this all is, it keeps men and women to keep this all functioning... Personally I couldn't work in such surroundings , but have that much more admiration for those who can. Thanks for this tour.

Fantastic and educational video, thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed the video. Great narration. Thanks.

Quite informative, interesting n challenging job, keep it up n looking forward for more video's, enjoy sailing.

Nice tour, always wondered what quarters were like on a cargo ship, thanks for the great tour!

Great video! Thanks for the work.

Great video for us to see the life on a container 🚢 ship very interesting job

Good video, thank you. Everything is so neat, clean and orderly which I suppose is crucial on any ship.

What a great insight into life on board a container vessel, many thanks for showing. uk viewer.

I live not to far from Port Everglades, i jetski there all the time. I like following the ships out. When they finally get out of the cut and released from the Tugs and the ship gets underway, those big props just flatten the whole ocean behind it.

Thank you ! That was AWESOME!!

MM1USN Retired. Loved the tour of the ship, especially the engine room. I’m used to boilers, and all the associated steam equipment. Thanks!

fantastic video showing so much of the internal parts of the ships, huge engines. I did work for the Zim Israel shipping line for 2 years, doing container control at our Felixstowe offices, I used to meet the captain when the ship was berthed. and I went on board to check # paper work # was in order for Customs etc. Used to stay overnight in a cabin because the ship was due at 19.00 hrs, but usually later. this was a smaller one of Zim ships and they have large container ships going West or East. but Zim ships were not the size of Maersk line vessels. great video you made, thanks

Awesome, so neat and clean. Spacious too, not like a Navy ship where there is ten pounds of stuff in a five pound bag.

Thanks for making the video very informative. Never knew that a ship was that clean

Did my internship on a Maersk ship when at Cal Maritime as a first class midshipman. Not the Montana but the Lexa and the Laust back in the late 80's. Got to ride out with the pilot as well! This brings back memories...Thanks!

Best part of the video was the walk along the port side walkway. Thanks for showing.

Always enjoy your videos Matt & Jeff and be careful with this Coronavirus God BLESS EACH AN EVERYONE OF YOU ON YOUR TRAVEL✨🌟

i was surprise man a boat without a crew lol...but its was amazing :)) a very nice walk on board..

This is great. Never knew about these boats before. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the fascinating look at the inner workings of the Montana

very well done. i enjoyed the tour very much.

That was amazing!! I've always wanted to know what those ships look like! Our Company Liebherr Mining ships a lot of containers and equipment back and forth!! Thanks for sharing and look forward to checking out your other videos!

That ship looks pristine. Beautifully maintained. You and your shipmates can be very proud.

Fantastic footage and a great insight to life on a containership

Very interesting, thank you!

Looked like the main propeller shaft was going about 50 RPM. Thanks for posting this video.

Fascinating, and you do a good job of it. Thanks for your efforts.

That's a *YUGE* box of Cheer laundry soap you got @ 7:15. Perfect soundtrack of percussion matches engine room sound at 17:17. Great video.

Maersk Montana! Built in 2006. Love the action room/engine room. Loved the turbo on the aux engine. Think I counted 8 cylinder pots & 8 injectors to the main engine. I'm a truck mechanic by trade however I am now an exercise consultant (bachelor in sport & recreation) and naturally I loved the GYM! Here's my tip for you and it's not gonna cost you a cent. Ask the skipper/boss to invest in a Rowing Ergometer. It is the best piece of cardio & all-body strength equipment money can buy. If you want me to show you how to use it - then your boss will have to employ me. Loved the movie room! 20:29 - how romantic - the love boat...What fascinated me about your sweet vid is that I didn't see one fellow worker on board. Are you the only employee onboard? I guess nobody was working on Thanksgiving 2017...

Superb, thanks for uploading

Amazing... I Always Loved Ships almost as much as I love Aviation. Been on many a Cruise ship...while folks watched the shows I Bribed my way with Engineering to take a peek at the Powerplant....Amazing... the Fuel is like Tar...Preheated to like 200F to flow to the injectors.... Amazing machines.

REALLY interesting video. Thank you for taking the time.

This video was so great and fascinating that I got angry when it was over

Fascinating education Thanks from Wendover UK.

thanks for bringing us along. from Halifax Harbour

My hubby works for Maersk, I won’t share his position in the company, but I’ve had an opportunity to sail with him, and this brings back memories for me!

Always been interested in this sort of stuff. Bloody great video. Thanks!

Thank You Jeff, Very interesting I shall look forward to looking around the steering gear, It brings back some old memories.

Thank you for your time in for the tour of the ship videos I just about watch every one of them thanks again
