Guy is so chilled, humble and clever .......makes you feel like he is talking to you personally.

Seriously fascinating. Please do more of these procedural videos. They are riveting. Thanks, Chief!

Great presentation! I am a Deck Officer in the US Merchant Marine and after more than 30 years, I have finally seen the engine start from the Engine Room.

As I was an engineer away at sea this guy certainly ,shows what it is all about,some of the best years of my life,will never regret one minute,,,! Thanks for bringing back the memories,,,!!

As merely a casual observer, I find the operations of large engines to be fascinating as well as the actual operation of a ship. Thanks Chief.

Chief you have great skill of representation..😍 The way you explain is very simple and easy to understand.. one last wish to sail with you at least once.. Love from india💗

Super detailed and informative! It doesn't take for granted that the viewer knows anything about ships, and covers each step. Thank you for teaching me. I didn't realize that 2 cycle ships used engines, not transmissions, to reverse. But I guess without camshafts it doesn't matter.

I came in thinking that this was going to be "just another engine starting/running video". I was very wrong. Nicely shot and expertly yet simply explained. And the bonus time lapse is always an excellent addition. Well done, good sir.

Love your content chief! Having grown up in the desert I know very little about ship operations. You have opened a window to a side of life I will never experience.

Thanks Chief, I much enjoyed that, more edifying and heartwarming than Game of Thrones. Having been a powerhouse and gas compressor plant operator for several years. Your essential systems are similar to Fairbanks Morse OPs, GM EMDs and even GE Frame 5 turbines, and I'm sure the intuitive bond an 'Operator', or in your realm an 'Engineer' develops with his engines as almost living machines is the even more intimate when it's the sole piece of equipment that moves your voyage and your lives depend on.

What I always find amazing is that the engine rooms on most freighters are cleaner then most people's houses

When you mentioned that it wasn't as simple as turning a key, I was hoping you'd say that it takes "2 keys" like one of those really secure lock boxes. =D

Too bad this video also lacks the sound of the actual start of the engine.... That’s what I’ve been waiting for.

Nice video, my grandfather was a Liberty Ship Captain in WWII, and continued as a Merchant Ship Captain until retirement in 1973. During my childhood I had the chance to stop by for his chats with some of the tug crew he knew in Savannah GA, and in later years he drove sailors from the port to play soccer with the local Savannah team, was something the local port Chaplin did back in the later 70’s. Had the pleasure of touring a few freighters that were in port. So far not ever had the experience of going to sea, slowly getting to old to do so. Seems computers and digital stuff has taken over as a Ham Operator, always though running the radio room would be interesting.

chef makoi your humility is the painful foundation for all your virtues you are smart men i like all your videos

Hats off CHIEF..., no words.

Very interesting. A lot goes on just to start a ship's engine up. I had no idea it would involve all that. Thanks for posting learning new things is nice.

Really inspiring kind of person. Humble 🙏 God bless to us all seafarers 🙏

Your patience easy way has opened my eyes to how immence our global trade network is. The complexity of starting the motive systems of your ship is profoundly complex and yet you take us through it with care and ease. Thank you Chief.
