I was a Marine Engineer during my time at sea and even all those years ago we were expected to hold a certificate one above the position filled. While steam ships were still in the fleet chief engineers were expected to hold both motor and steam certificates.
Well said Chief MAKOi, "perfect timing, or more importantly, having the patience to wait for it" God Bless!
Same here. Deck cadet last 2015. Graduated 2017, went onboard as Junior 3rd officer last 2018. And now a full fledged 3rd officer finally. Now about to finish my first contract as 3/O. Lot of new experiences. Super blessed to have this opportunity being only 23yrs old. Nice vlog chief! Drone footage was awesome!
Bro if u don't mind can I know ur college name
@@oleksiigoncharov thanks bro
Pmma to
I don't know why I cried at the last part of this video. I used to go onboard Chief as a Deck Cadet. I've been on 3 contracts. Yet I decided to stop for a while to think if seafaring is really for me. After watching this video, I found my answer. Thank you Chief!! Have a wonderful career 🙂
Your right on all of that Chief. Two things I will never forget, getting my 3rd Mate rating and later my Unlimited Masters License. The bridge crews of 35 years ago were a lot different than today and frankly not as soft on the newbies. When I showed up the Captain asked who I was and I told him your new 3rd Mate. He never looked at me and told me to go measure the draft. Off I went with my pen and writing pad I did that 6 times, on the 7th time down the Chief Mate stopped me and asked point blank why the hell I was going and coming so damn much. I told him why. He started laughing so hard he bit his cigar into and told me that was his job and not mine. Furious I climbed back to the bridge to give the Captain a piece of my mind, for the first time that day he looked me in the eye and said, "Kid, it's your job to know your responsibilities, your watch starts at 0100." And that was that. Looking back I get the humor of it. You wanted to get angry and sometimes I did, but you learned from it.
Thanks for the insight Captain!
When I was in elementary school in China, one of my class friend always talked about his big brother, who is the Second Mate ( 二副 ) on a merchant ship. He often talked about his big brother traveled to different countries, well known cities ... at that time China did not have many connections of any kind with the world, his stories inspired a lot of imaginations. One time, he brought a Japanese tape recorder to class, we were all amazed by the thing and he told us his brother bought it in Holland.
What a fine young man.His parents must be proud.
Such a good young man. His parents are very proud of him. 😃
That is one hell of a responsibility..
Pretty cool to see how serious these cadets take each task👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trust me people, “The Chief” is speaking 100% truth!
I agree
Yep
Correct :)
D biro ang buhay marino,salute to all of u💙
Steven seagull?

@@mod6525 nahh we asians are the best as an officers and specially in management level. You on the other hand, non asians such as your pathetic self is good not only as ratings, but Also as messman .
@@mod6525 100 % of the ships, such as you non asians are not ONLY MESSMAN but also STOWAWAYS. That we keep on throwing away overboard.
Saitama ML ara you done with toilet. Good job,banana for you
Career advancement through positive attitude, planning and work ethic is the way it should be. Good to see this is in action in the company.
Hey Chief....Landlubber here...The immense responsibility one shoulders when working in a position like JR has got to be very daunting to a young man...God Bless him, and you...
Hi Chief MAKOi, What you say about studying, planning, working toward, and, if needed, sacrificing to reach your goals is true for ALL walks of life. It's clear, sound advice for Everyone. Thank you for all the thought and hard work put into your videos.
Congratulations to the new 3rd , good luck for the future young man!!!!!
Napaka ganda ng pagka Sabi niyo po sir yung " perfect timing at having a patience" 🌱 5 years na po ako graduate ng BSMT Hindi pa po ako naka sampa sana soon Perfect timing
My dad was a chief engineer in the US Navy during WW2 on a destroyer. I love your vids. Thanks
Thanks Chief! My father was a sea man on Bulk Carriers for over ten years, all though I was young and don't remember him being away, these videos give me clear insight into life at sea and I appreciate it very much.
Always worth the wait! Another excellent episode! Safe Voyage Chief, Thanks!!
One of the best written and produced videos I've yet seen on CZcams. You certainly put time, care, and a search for perfection into this work!
The content reveals the heart of this noble seafaring profession in a way like none other.
Thank you!
Your a true inspiration to all those that surround you Chief. Be safe and thank you for the content you provide 😊
Favorite quote: Perfect timing, or more importantly, having the patience to wait for it. Well said Chief, thank you.
Chief, you are a great philosopher! Thanks for letting us landlubbers enjoy the sea faring experience vicariously! 👏🏿
Completed my day once again.. God bless always Chief!
These are great videos! I really like how Chief focuses on the human part of being a modern mariner.
Thanks Chief from one sailor to another... that was enjoyable and very inspirational. All the very best to you and your crew
Good luck to new 3rd officer.. Great presentation .
Thanks Chief Makoi!
I salute you chief and congratulations to the newly promoted 3rd officer.. Smooth sea underneath keel.
Excellent advice you give Chief. Applicable to just about everything we do in our working careers in most industries. Well done. Thank you.
Chief, Thanks for showing the 3rd Officer (Mate) position as well as background information and, in part: responsibility, training, experience, timing, flexibility and... patience. Best wishes to you, JR, and the officers and crew. Keith
Super Awsome Chief Makoi# and My Heartfull Good luck to 3rd Officer.... 👍
Great advice Chief. After a career of 30 years in retail management that advice applies to more than just shipping. Safe travels.
Congratulations to the young man who took over has 3rd Mate - well done son, have a long and interesting life at sea. I came ashore back in 2000 after some 37 years at sea on various ships, have fun!

Brilliant as always. Keep them coming Chief.
Thank you chief makoi for making this video. This will help to every Filipino seaman worldwide.
Howdy from Sacramento, Chief!
I'm glad I found your vlog. I'm a landlubber, but it sure is interesting to learn about your work. Your vids are clear and well presented. Subscribed!
I am an experienced English teacher and I have found this video very useful for my classes. I teach technical maritme English at a maritime university and my students love watching Chief MAKOI's videos. Thanks, Chief MAKOI
I'm not a seafearer but those words Chief Makoi said about being successful were for all those who works in different industries not only to maritime. Thankyou Chief!
Yes truly informative. God bless you chief and co.
What a vlog to start your day. Ang bata pa ng Third Mate pero pursigido sa trabaho at dedikasyon. Nice. God Bless Chief Makoi and the crew.
Mindset, attitude and patience are the 3 ingredients. That alone is key. All the rest comes with a real education. Awesome
Truth of life explained in the most simple way. “If there is no position. No promotion”. Thanks Captain. Safe journeys.
Good things happen to individuals who work hard and remain focused. As the Chief says, patience and willing to wait for it. Another good video.
Wow. This is an amazing channel. Looks like I am going to have to go and start from the beginning videos and thoroughly enjoy myself with the fascination of the Merchant Marine as I catch up. Thanks!

I'm a technician I work a lot with gmdss equipment. Sometimes I don't know what goes through the minds of sea farerers as they sail across our oceans. With your vlog it helps me to better understand like today I got to understand what a third officer has to go through thank you
Excellent documentary! Bravo!
I love the measured and soothing rhythm of the Chief's voice. I'll bet he is a good boss.
A massive well done to the new 3rd mate. Its always nice to young people do well and achieve what they want in life 👏👏👏

Thanks for this video . My Uncle William was a third mate on a US merchant marine ship during World war 2. Unfortunately his oil tanker was sunk by a German submarine in the north Atlantic with all hands lost. I wondered what he did on his ship.
Another great and inspirational Vlog CHIEF...
Even when some of us are not seafarers, the way you show daily life at sea make easy to understand how hard is your job and how proud your beloved must be.

Expectations met and exceed as S.O.P. for Chief MAKOi! Good advice and inspiration for young men with dreams Chief. I fortunate are those who have the benefit of a seasoned mentor with the heart to guide them through all the nightmares that will inevitably be part of the of their dreams as well.
Thanks Jack!
Nicely done, salamat po!
When I was a Naval officer in the 70s - 80s, we'd laugh at how ratty the merchant ships were, and how it seemed no one was on watch. Several times if we hadn't changed course we'd have collided with a merchant most likely on "autopilot," at least that's what it seemed like.
Nowadays, the merchant fleet has so many beautiful ships, such as the ones you show. And the level of professionalism appears higher than what I experienced in the military. Not a lot, but some.
Thanks for this reminder of sea life and a look inside what the merchant marine is like in modern times.
I very enjoyed.. 👏
Thanks a lot chief for your amazing episodes 👍🌷
Best Wishes and Best Regards Chief. Stay Safe!
Another GREAT video! What a fine young man, he will go far, the right attitude and temperment along with a lot of drive. He is endowed with "Sticktoitiveness" keep at it and NEVER give up! Thanks again Chief for another inspiring, interesting and uplifting video.
Thanks Phil!
I’m glad I found this channel. Great content.
I’m the same age as the third mate in the video. It puts a lot into perspective, seeing how much he has accomplished while I am still looking for my future career. I hope it’s not too late for me to start the studies and training to be in his position one day.
Never too late, go for it
im 14 y/o from Philippines my dream is to be a soldier,because of chief makoi my dream now is to be a seaman 💙
I loved this video. I have watched all of them and this one is definitely in the top 5. The editing is great and your passion and love for your job comes through. The Third Mate’s feelings came through on this on video.
Thanks James!
