Capt Willy you need to get some swag stuff made up. So that I can buy a coffee mug or T-Shirt. I don't drink coffee but can put my diet mtn dew in that one. Another great video, but this time I learned more about the wheel house and the container ships. Thank you Sir.

RORO - Roll on/Roll off. Here in the port of LA/LB we have quite a few lines with RORO vessels. Some are car carriers, break bulk(large equipment and awkward sized cargo) and some are mixed container/bulk cargo like that one. Love watching your videos man, great content.

Is it possible to mount the camera on the wood ledge, so we can see what you're looking at? Or maybe a second camera

Agreed. Maybe on the window ledge facing outward. Great channel-grew up in the area and spent many years watching the activity. Be well....

Admire the discipline you guys use with Radio and Tug boat control,and obviously there is the professional respect ,and the thanking Carlos is another leader quality. Definitely would like to see the camera slightly lower ,im saying to myself, window get out of the way lol

Thank you for your kind words! I’ll make that angle better and not leave it on so long. Appreciate you!

I think the camera a bit lower would be nicer as we cannot see what's going on around you, like your line of view. Love your channel and attitude!

This camera first camera angle is good for seeing how you manipulate the controls, but lacks the context provided by more of an out the front view. Perhaps if it were lowered a bit and then aimed up bit. I liked the second camera angle. Don’t get me wrong, I love your videos, just my humble opinion /feedback. Thanks for all the hard work you do bringing these to us.

Another great video, Quick question though: Why do they reposition a huge ship like that? Just the cost of running those engines and 2 tug boats for an hour or 2 has to be a fortune.

If I had to guess I'd suspect it's for the RORO cargo below the boxes, the 1st berth may not have been suitable for offloading

@tugboatwilly843

Hey now! I agree with that. Boxes went to the first stop and the roll off went to the last stop. Thanks for watching as always!!

Do you sometimes get orders to push all ahead full, or is it generally two-thirds at most so that the captain has reserves in case things goff the rails?

@tugboatwilly843

It all really depends on weather conditions and how the ship is handling. I don’t get to hook it up as much on this boat because it has a lot of power. But when I do 🤗

Hey now! They are z drives that spin 360°. I’ve got a video up about them. Thanks for watching! 🤙

Morning Captain. Not to complain, but that angle you have the cam in. is no good. all we are viewing is the water and that is it. Left or right like you have been doing was the best view of everything. This movement would have really been good if the cam's was put lower right or left. And yes I know your just trying new locations for the cam. I just put my two cents in. Other than that. Keep up the great work on your show and tell videos. Row Row stands for Roll on, Roll off. I have a friend who is a mate on one of the ACL vessels. He is crew out of the Philippines, He went to the Philippines maritime academy. 🤙👍
