Here's my first video for 2022! Wishing all of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!! 🥳
I cannot describe the amount of admiration and respect I have for all of you, seeing you all with smiles on your faces made me happy!
This video is amazing, can't wait to experience the sea... potential engineer from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Happy new year sir! Ingat palagi sa paglalayag sir..
Great to hear from you and the crew....Happy New Year on behalf of the Air France and KLM crews !!!!Great spirit comes from your great country ....thank you for keeping me posted in 2022😉
Mark, a belated Merry Christmas and wishes for a safe and prosperous 2022 to you, your family and your crew.
Man, one thing I have learned from this channel is that there is a lot more , actually an awfully lot more that goes on aboard such a ship than I could have ever imagined. I guess I always figured it was kind of like trucking where they pick up a load and deliver it and job done , but it is far from that. Thank You for sharing these videos and enlightening the rest of Us about Life and work aboard a ship. God Bless You & Your crew , here s to a safe , happy , and productive 2022.
It's a bit like flying cargo internationally. You stay on the aircraft for sometimes a day or more, depending on the cargo, destination, time of flight, and the aircraft configuration. It's just... waaaay longer on a ship.
Big metal stuff carrier go brrrrrrrrrrrr
We can all agreed to that

Gentlemen that looked like an excellent New Year's party especially the pig good job fellows
Cheers to all the seafarers, all around the world, for making things go, no matter what goes on 👍🏽👍🏽 and many thanks to you Chief for bringing all of this to the world🙏🏽🙏🏽
🎉Happy New Year 🎉
I first thought this was in Wilhelmshaven but yes thats Stade ;) Greetings Chief from Northcoast Germany ;)
dumadami na case d2 sa pilipinas ma ppostpone nnmn mga plano, always watching ur video sir keep it up and Godbless ♥️
Enough respect puts all my challenges with a quiet Christmas into perspective.
My best Christmas at sea was a Philippine crewed ship, it was seafood and suckling pig heaven. Shame we couldn’t have a few real beers 👍 great crew.
Hi Chief, My name is Dariusz from Poland. I was seamen for several years, now working for Scanship AS supplies the cruise industry with waste treatment systems all over the world, still related to ships. Watching Your channel I miss the seamen's life, especially when working with the Philippino crew, the best in the world. Keep on going Chieff😉😉Hapy New year.
Everyone looks so HAPPY! Must be great leadership. That food! I'd weigh 600lbs. Thanks Chief.
Being married to Filipina for 17 years now and having lived in the Philippines I can totally relate to your celebrations and the energy you guys bring to the party.
Happy New Year Chief and to your crew, may the winds be at your back and seas calm this 2022.
Filipinos know how to have fun, that’s for sure. I married my wife in the Philippines, and it was a heckuva party.
Very nice! I cut short my merchant marine career after 2 voyages through big storms along west coast USA and in the gulf of Alaska with old alcoholic grumpy crew mates. Never achieved my dream of smooth voyages with a happy crew ..... till I viewed your CZcams’s. Thanks Chief
Chief Makoi, we as seafarers appreciate yoo for your efforts to show us interrelation among us is very important, hope you continue thia experience and god be with,, salute engineer
It has only just occurred to be that seafarers can go back and forth from winter to summer climate in a matter of a few weeks.
not only that if you are on a east or westbound run you have a timeshift about every 2 days, now imagine all those people ashore complaining every year when winter or summertime is adapted and how 'it messes up their bioritme'....
@@jawadad802 Absolutely! In a regular service between the US west coast and Japan, Korea, HongKong and Taiwan; each day one hour and nobody complaining.
I bet that can be both a blessing and an annoyance.
@@yegfreethinker True, it depends on vessels heading: east or west
@@yegfreethinker depends if your on the 12-04 watch and its either an E or W bound trip....
Another great Insight into ship life. The crew looked like they had an excellent time over the festive period. Great food and an all-round great atmosphere in the vlog.
Hope you have a great year and get home to your family soon and safe.
Looking forward to your excellent vlogs and amazing look at ship life and shipping in general.👍🏴🇳🇱
Chief Makoy 👋 👋
Greetings from Greenwich London ⚓️ ⛵️
Cheers 🥂 🍾 🎉🎆2022🎇🎊 👍🌹 🍀
There was something about seeing the crew, so many miles from home, from their loved ones still smiling and singing that warmed my heart, and maybe my ocular lubrication valves leaked a wee bit as I reminisced. As a former sailor and trawlerman I know how much the holidays can bring you down. Really nice video Chief. I hope 2022 is a safe, happy and prosperous new year for you and those brave folk who help make the world go round. Regards from Scotland.
The crew singing marry Christmas is one of the coolest things ever.
Nice one Chief MAKOi! Galeng mo mag narrate. Omg!
It's heart worming to see the shop come on board...it's like the days the stores came into town only reversed lol
Hey chief. I though you would have mechanised the spit roast!😀. (Great team building)
Nah...it wouldn't taste the same. You're wondering? I know because I'm a Filipino and having the cultural ritual (manual turning spit, basting by hand, etc) makes you "feel" the lechon will taste original just as if it were cooked in the Philippines.
Sometimes the work is long, hard and seemingly never ending. There's always something else that needs to be done.
And it's easy to be a little down, when you're so far from home, and family, especially during the holiday season.
But what I see in your videos that really makes me happy, is to see that the crew is, for all their differences or where they're from, they ARE a family!
Brings back memories when I used to work with my dad for ILA local 2022 in Houston Tx. I did this work back when I was in high school (1994-98) and it definitely helped keep me out of trouble while traveling and visiting other port cities across the U.S.
Fair Winds,Safe Seas and Safety First..Its often happened in our job.May you and your crew Bless,on your sojourn of duty and journey until finish contract.Mabuhay Sir.
Being away from family on the holiday is tough, particularly if you have young children, and no amount of pay can make up for that. My wife and I are both paramedics and have missed more holidays than we've had together as a family. The sacrifices you and your fellow crew members make keep the our modern world running. Thank you for that.
As an old retired marine engineer thank this brought back a lot of great memories. Thank you from Australia and merry christmas and have a great & prosperous 2022 with both you time at home with you family and as sea with you work family.👍🥂
It looks like the folks get a lot of help when it is time to prepare food for a party.
Yes, it's a team effort. And everyone enjoys doing it 😊
I love your videos. They put a face and a perspective on the goods and services us non sea farers take for granted every day.
Your videos are grate, I'mm in a small vessel, 7 people onboard 3-4ph guys.
Chief, thanks for that, as a long retired merchant seaman It reminded me of meny years at sea. thanks again.
I use to do cross country trucking in the U.S, which sometimes kept me out over Christmas. One thing I learned is that the important thing isn't WHEN you celebrate, but THAT you celebrate (regardless of whatever holidays you participate in).
Was once a customer of ate Rhona during stay in Germany, Chief. Happy New Year⚓️
Best wishes for continued success, health and happiness. Go home safe chief.
Very nice Chief. When I was in college I had an instructor that was in the US Merchant Marine. Of course we studied boilers, diesels, Transformers, pumps, etc. Watching your videos brings me back lots of memories those are great times. Thank you for all your great videos keep them coming.
It’s always a pleasure to sail with the crew from Philippines, such fun loving people..god bless you all and a happy new year..!!
Happy new year to you all. My father was 20 odd years in the Merchant Navy in the 50s and 60s. In the days of no internet and long distance messages got passed from ship to ship by the sparky. Father was in the pacific when my twin and I were born in Scotland.
I briefly served as a ship physician in an interisland shipping here in the Philippines and i celebrated a christmas while at sea. It was a memorable experience.
Yes those holiday parties are extremely important for crew morale. Otherwise you are dragging your mood around on the deck behind you. Well done chief. Have a good watch.
Thanks for covering "away" celebrations so well. Am sure your relatives back home appreciate these videos a lot more
I absolutely love seeing the happy, smiling faces of the crew members ! It speaks volumes about Chief MAOKi 's ability to ensure the well-being of his crew in spite of schedule uncertainties. It also speaks very highly of the professionalism of crew and their work ethic.
Happy New Year to each and every one of those crew members and to you, Chief MAOKi !
I was away for the holidays this year too working so I stand with you in solidarity brothers!
Happy New Year 🎆🎊🎈 from NYC
I was a trucker for a lot of years in the U S and spent a lot of holidays away from home. thank you
I miss the open sea, but not all the work😉
All the best to you and the crew!
Thanks' Chief. Having grown up with Philippines [I am an Army brat] I have always felt the Philippines were the happiest people I have ever known , no matter where they are. Please keep up the good work and you are welcome in Florida any time. Happy New Year my friend.
Great video, Chief! Retired Bosun here, a veteran of probably 50 at-sea Christmas and New Years parties. Now, I will never have to celebrate at sea again, cause I get to be home with wife and family and friends. Do I miss celebrating at sea? NOT A BIT! Although, sometimes, yeah, there are some good memories, I have to admit.
Love your videos! Keep them coming! I really feel for you guys with all the covid crap these days. I had to go to my union hall a few months ago to let them know I am still alive and please keep sending my pension check every month... A lot of our guys are stuck on ships, cant get relief, and a lot of our guys stuck ashore, can't get on a ship to make some money. It's rough times we live in, and bad times for us all usually means worse times for the guys who are still going to sea. Best to you, your family, and your shipmates in these difficult times.
That was awesome. We would have never known what goes on, the challenges, restrictions, fixes and celebrations. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year to you, your family and ship mates.
Thanks for all you and your crew (and those of other ships) do. If it wasn't for you guys working hard schlepping stuff all over the world, we'd not have what we need. I can't even keep my stovetop clean and here you are cleaning out giant bowls with coal dust. Woof.
Great Video! Liked the snippets of cleaning holds. I think a video on how the ship changes from coal to corn, would be interesting.
Wonderful. Thanks for all your great videos. Happy New Year and Safe travels.
The way you take care of your crew Is awesome. That means a lot to them I'm sure. They will never forget it.
I really enjoy seeing the crew happy and I wish them all a safe passage back to their families. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Growing up in Vancouver, seeing all the cargo ships waiting at anchor in English Bay, I always wondered what was the life of the people onboard, your channel is answering all these questions. Thanks for sharing!
Similar to me but live next to a much smaller port. Port taranaki
Not the best, long hours, low pay, and the people hiring you can treat you like shit and get away with it.
I suggest you look up exactly how the cruise lines treat heir below deck workers and be prepared to have your eyes opened.... it's a rabbit hole of abuse and neglect and most people don't even bother learning about it or realize what's going on when they take their nice holiday Cruise...
Your cook puts out a good spread, and it looks like you've got a good capt/crew! Merry Christmas/Happy New Year, Chief.
Chief makoi good to see you buddy keep up the good work. And hello for the USA happy new year stay safe.
Looking sharp in your uniform, Chief. Best wishes to you and the rest of the crew for a happy and safe 2022. ⚓
As a 7th child, youngest and only girl in my family the holidays were awesome. With most gone now holidays have just become lonely and sad. I have a beautiful 16yo and seeing her smile opening her presents and decorating the tree is what I live for. Thank you for this video, you show that even away from home, you guys are the family you need! God Bless!
That's fantastic chief. Covid can make you or break you. Seeing a great crew really appreciate each other is a very heart warming view.
“a loy of seafarers tend to be more homesick during this times ( Holiday Season)”. - as a seafarer before, i felt these words. Longing for our love ones is the most painful situation we felt on board but we will endure this trying times. Godbless sir. Salute and keep safe to all seafarer around the world, Fighting for your family. - 3e Ramirez
I spent the 1980s on submarines. On patrol there really wasn't much we could do for celebrating Christmas.
But the cooks always made sure our Christmas dinner was the best meal of the year.
Fair winds & following seas to you & your crew.
Thank you for your very interesting videos, and I wish you all the best in the new year. Looking forward to many new exciting stories!
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and Happy new year 🎉 ✨ chief macoi and to all crew...keep safe and God bless always
Thank you for your videos, and I hope you and the crew stays safe and heathy in the new year.
Wow! A short Xmas! But a job well done and not a bad party I think.
Kudos and congrats to cookie for putting together such a great spread of food too , that all looked awesome . Stay safe chief 👍
It seems like there's been quite a space between vlogs. Thank you for this one and I hope to see more. Happy 2022.
Agreed! But we forget that Chief is making sure his ship runs 24/7 … I’m amazed he has time to be a CZcamsr too!
I'd sail with this crew just for the BBQ.
God Bless Chief.
Love your video's Chief MAKOi :) I work at the port of Aarhus, Denmark, and it's nice to get an insight in how the seafares is doing onboard. Filipino seafares is the best by far
All the best Chief for this year, nice to have the ladies come on board and sell items, we had a dear lady who did the same where we live years ago, she would go out of her way to obtain goods for the sailors .
a very happy HNY to you and all the crew Chief - I miss my time at sea (ex Royal Navy submariner here) - was great comradery and a sense of one team - fair winds and a safe passage team - all the best
Thanks for sharing this small but important glimpse into the lives of the people who keep the cargo moving 365 days a year.
To all sea farers thank u and fair winds and smooth seas where ever u may go x
Cheers Chief.
I knew this was a great video from title and rep. but when I saw the great inventory from the Visiting Store, I was enchanted. Everything in the store was high-quality, top-of-the-line merchandise AND exactly what you want too, packed together. I've only seen few stores like it. Whatta concept - instant Christmas shopping for everybody, one stop. I'd buy their whole stock for a good price. Plus what a joy year round ta see what that top buyer can scour up shoreside and pick up for everybody since last time, next time. Sea life MUST rival living on land with different and delightful surprises like the Visting Store(s). Thanks for showing me/us one of the finer things of sea life.
Always better late than never.
Glad y'all had a ball.
Chief,
Thank you for your videos. I look forward to them and always enjoy watching. Keep up the good work and your good spirits!
Hats off to you chief ,and your fellow Filipino crew members for your sacrifice for your familys! Stay safe and stay well
Happy new years to you too Chief! A lot of people forget what you guys do to keep the world turning. Without you guys world commers stops.. Cheers!
What a fantastic video. We never think how everything we consume gets to us. So glad to see that you do all get to let your hair down sometimes!
Thanks for this video Sir Makoi. This will encouarge more to those who are taking maritime course. Buti pa dyan sa barko masaya kayo while dito nkakaboring lalo na pag airborne ng 14hrs.
Thanks for uploading more videos sir. I love your vids related to the engine room and aux. mach. onboard your vessel, very educational. Nakaka-relate lang po, I was taken BSMAR-E before pero dko tinapos, aviation pinili ko.
More power to your channel Sir Chief... Ingat at safe sailing always👍
That was the BEST party I've ever seen!!! 12:05
Happy New Year, Chief Makoi and crew. Thank you for your videos the past years. I look forward to more in 2022. Best wishes from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.
Salamat chief, maligayang pasko at bagong taon, ako si justinus isang catholik sailor from Indonesia, always healthy chief an keep making educational vlogs,
I work on an ambulance. Missed Christmas because I was working too. We just moved Christmas. It’s part of the job, just like yours. People depend on all of us.
Ingat po palagi chief MAKOI balangb araw makakasampa den po ng barko shout po chief,mag aabang po ako bago nyong upload for PMMA
I was on an inland towboat, the Boat stores were a great treat when we could go on board... Sometimes we could place an order a get certain items, a great service these people provided.. Wickliffe,KY boat store was best.... At a time before Cellphone internet, just a week old newspaper was a blessing... Thanks to the lockmen to throw down a newspaper....
Port to port mate, happy to watch you all the time. God bless us all 🙏✨✨✨
Sincere thank you all! You and your crew keep the world running. Someday, perhaps a live stream Christmas so we can all wish a Merry Christmas to you in real time.
Blessings and respect for your crew and their humble Chief MAKOi. Thanks for sharing and all you do!
Thank you for the insight where few get to go. It makes me grateful for what I have here on land. Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your crewmates.
This was a joyful video. It made my annoyings at home smaller. Even it was very irritating, it suddenly become very small, compared to not being able to celebrate Christmas with family and not even on the actual day.
I'm just too emotional after watching this video... It just made me so happy... That i can't even imagine.... Sir,It's like you spending time with your family... Beautiful ❣️❣️🙂👌👌☺️☺️.... Thanks for sharing this and making our day. ☺️❤️
Love your vids. Love and health to all the seafarers in the world. Thank you Chief for all your videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.❤⚓🥳
Chief, I wish you and your crew a (late) Merry Christmas and a Happy 2022. All the best for you from a Brazilian subscriber!
Keep safe!
Happy new year Chief. Another great VLOG, it's so good to see the true spirit of you and the crew, given the need to put cargo ops before your celebrations. Looking forward to your next posting. Hope you get home to your family soon. ✋😎👍
I have spent a lot of time on varied international cargo ships doing radar and other technical installations while under way. They consisted of various crews from all over the world. By far the nicest people I have met and worked with were the Philippine crews.
Merry Christmas Chief and Have a Happy New Year … Blessings and Prayers for your Seafaring Family along with your personal families. Thank you for providing these very informative videos.
Nice job, Chief. Happy New Year to all the crew.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. It is so neat to see how you are always trying to work in recognition of your crew.
I love Filipino spirit! Happy New Years!
