Hello my friend we went to a big game here today. It was a big rivalry. ABC vs. America FC....Portiguar Final... I will post a video of the footage I got soon but sadly we did not win the game.

As a maintenance person at a factory in the states I would enjoy more content of actual project work. The shop, welding, installation, etc.

I have done some of that especially in the past but the problem is you can't just a walk around while you're working with a camera.

Watching it is so grounding, another nice one 👍

Good afternoon Peter

Thanks for sharing! Have fun on vacation! My port interview is 3/11 for SIU. The apprenticeship is backed up almost a year, they tell me... Yikes! I'll have to wait, though. I'm looking forward to getting out there!

Have fun in Brazil, Jeff. Do you have like a place you rent out there in Brazil or you just do like an AirBNB?

We have our own place here...I will show a video while here.

Thanks for the videos and what you can show. I have heard that on some cargo ships passengers are permitted? Any truth to this if you know? Appreciate the tour.

@JeffOnboard

2 ай бұрын

None of the ones I work on in USA carry passengers but I have seen videos where people go on container ships as passengers and they were foreign Flag ships I think you can check online but I don't think there are a lot of ships like that. Actually it would be awesome if they had more ships like that but I'm sure it is an insurance and liability issue.

Did you hear that this morning a container ship hit the Francis Scott key bridge

@JeffOnboard

2 ай бұрын

Yes when I woke up I heard about it and I received a lot of messages about it. I will make a short video probably later today about it because I grew up there and drove that bridge many times.

Can’t wait to join you guys out there on those container ships. Are you with SIU by any chance? Thanks for your reply and have a great day.

@JeffOnboard

Yes and I hope you get out on the ships soon and that we work together sometime. I would love to make a video with you if that happens.

Good question; even if traveling a non threatening route, do you still practice for hijackings? If not, why?

@JeffOnboard

All topics are talked about during training drills, but ships that go to high risk areas train extra for it...

Question: I know all ships are similiar and yet they have differences too. How do you know what maintenance to perform? When you get onboard do you report to an officer who assigns you the work to do?

@JeffOnboard

3 ай бұрын

There are many things that we just do everyday on ships No matter what ship you are on, but maintenance you just do as per needed and a lot of things get done based on operating hours. The first engineer will assign jobs to everyone in the engine department.

Hi Jeff. Hope your well. Which is your home port ?? With the accident today in baltimore will this have any affect on you ????

@JeffOnboard

2 ай бұрын

My home port that I work out of is Norfolk Virginia but it should not affect me at all but I have sailed under that bridge many times and the city where the accident happened this morning is the city where I grew up and I drove on that bridge many times..

whats the best platform to sail on? which one gets the most port visits? .

@JeffOnboard

2 ай бұрын

To me it seems like the ship's the go to the most different ports are normally the tramping ships but they are not usually the best contracts. If you go MSC ships I don't know where they go they might go to completely different ports.

I’m in welding school, would my skills be needed to live abroad a ship?

@JeffOnboard

It is not a prerequisite but it is dependently an asset especially if you plan to go into the engine department because pretty much all of us wels. I apologize if there are any problems in my message because I am voice texting..

Do you have training onboard or apprenticeship programs..?

@JeffOnboard

3 ай бұрын

Yes there are training. Programs And even college that you can go to If you are sure it is your life decision. I made a video about how to become a merchant mariner and I mentioned it. In that video there are links in the description section to different training schools.

Yes, you need to show more actual work and less talk. Also you should show what you are having for lunch.
