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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Oil on the floor would be a serious fire hazard. Also if there's oil on the floor, there'd be a problem, like a oil leak. It'd be extremely important to fix that.

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

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.

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.

How did you go about this? Thanks

Great video. I appreciate the tour of the spaces that you don't normally see. Just amazing that anyone can make sense of all the pipes, valves, cables, fitting, and so forth- especially behind bulkheads or under decks. I still don't understand why there isn't a conning room or wheelhouse at the front of the ship to help put some eyes on what's ahead. I can see needing the bridge and it's wings aft during mooring but not underway, especially with containers stacked high and in heavy shipping lanes. Would be like driving a pickup truck from the rear cargo bed while trying to look around a load of appliances still in their boxes!

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

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...

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.

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..

I'm amazed at the level of cleanliness all over the ship.

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
