I'm enjoying your ship spotting videos. Sometimes, when I can see the name of a ship, I will Google the name to find out more about the vessel. You are improving your recording and editing skills; and also your choice of background music. Cheers!

Pretty neat Jeff, I occasionally watch some ship spotting-only channels and your footage offers a delicious fresh perspective. I hope to see more of this from you!

Jeff lastly, out of 180 days, roughly how many of those days will be spent in port? I wanna explore countries too which is my main goal lol

@JeffOnboard

I never do 180 but it depends on the run and how many ports. Etc....container hips may stay in port 1-1.5 days while other ships slightly longer.......

Jeff I've written questions to you several times already, this one may seem a bit odd 'or' humorous to you but I'm curious, in one of the last videos I've enjoyed watching that you've posted I saw one huge ship painted a very Vivid Pink, what it the story of a ship's company or worldwide corporation who owns the ship and/or shipping line, is there only one ship painted Pink or are all of their ships painted Pink, is there a particular reason why it/they paint their ship (s) Pink, owned by a women or women, what is the significance of the ship (s) being painted Pink, is there any advantage of using this odd color while at sea? I always enjoy watching your videos as you travel throughout the world, I wish you and your entire crew (s) Good Health & Safety on all of your journeys.

It stands for ocean network express which was founded In Japan and I believe it was comprised of 3 different companies when it was started they have a management company in Singapore as well. I don't know why they went with that color But probably just because it is so I catching.

@@JeffOnboard 'Thank You' Jeff for taking time away from your duties onboard to answer my question about the Pink Painted Ship (s), I was wondering if the Pink Color had any significance to anything in their corporate structure, I must say the ship in your video 'caught my eyes right off.' I always enjoy watching your many different 'repair' jobs on the ships you sail on even when they are small and seem insignificant to the overall operation of such 'MASSIVE' vessels you work & live on every day for months at a time, Be & Stay well my friend.

Is ship handling different depending on the navigation bridge location? Forward, Amidships or Stern?

How many containers on a ship ?

@JeffOnboard

There is really no answer to that question because all ships have a different amount some ships are extremely huge and some are just medium size... So the answer is every ship is different totally

Hi jeff. I was curious whats the health insurance like as a merchant mariner. Im waiting for my MMC and im planning to go with SIU as an OS. Is the cost decent or can i add my family to it and do you know if the coverage is decent? Im just wanting to what its like. Thanks!

I think it is about 250 deductable a year per person and yes family can be on your insurance...Dental as well but not sure %. Medical Is better But it is covered...it is included at no cost to you as a union benefit. Email me if you want more info...i can call you. jbull68@gmail.com
