00:00:00
[Music]
00:00:08
so we are in the world's largest port
00:00:13
with minus degrees right now freezing
00:00:16
temperatures
00:00:17
oh but what a great sight
00:00:20
[Applause]
00:00:21
[Music]
00:00:27
[Music]
00:00:32
thank you
00:00:43
so guys I decided to hit the gym today
00:00:46
even after you know this poor Duty
00:00:48
because my sign off mode is coming in
00:00:51
and I'm going a little bit crazy
00:00:59
[Music]
00:01:13
thank you
00:01:16
foreign
00:01:18
[Music]
00:01:26
guys welcome back to another day from
00:01:29
the high seas on one of the last voyages
00:01:31
and route to the Final Destination which
00:01:33
is home but not so early because right
00:01:36
now we are in a very traffic dense
00:01:38
situation and I want to cover how we
00:01:42
tackle these fishing boats and heavy
00:01:44
traffic in Chinese Coastal so it will be
00:01:46
helpful for you all who are going to be
00:01:48
at the high seas and most probably you
00:01:50
will come to China someday so yeah you
00:01:53
have to be prepared for this first
00:01:54
things first let me show you where we
00:01:57
are currently where we are coming from
00:01:59
and where we are going the last port was
00:02:01
Ningbo and I made a night Labs of that
00:02:04
particular area and the next Port is
00:02:07
Shanghai and You Must Be Wondering that
00:02:10
what the hell this second officer is
00:02:11
doing over here I will give you a full
00:02:13
detail information and also the weather
00:02:16
is not looking too good
00:02:18
pitches
00:02:20
very very good because these small
00:02:22
fishing boats cannot sail through
00:02:24
through these Waters so I am quite happy
00:02:26
about the bad weather talking about this
00:02:29
extra point
00:02:30
I will tell you why we have done that
00:02:32
it's because
00:02:33
we had to adjust our ETA so before of
00:02:37
course as a good second officer I would
00:02:39
take this particular
00:02:40
shortest route and reach our destination
00:02:43
but due to the port congestion and heavy
00:02:47
delay we have to slow down and kill at
00:02:50
least 14 hours
00:02:51
we are doing 40 RPM which is around half
00:02:55
ahead and we cannot go below this
00:02:57
because of the economical speed
00:02:59
limitations so what what we had to do
00:03:02
the captain told me make a detour
00:03:04
outside we will wait for some time and
00:03:07
then come back and for that I had to
00:03:09
also prepare
00:03:11
two passage plans so number one and
00:03:13
number two so in case someone asks like
00:03:17
any port State control then I will tell
00:03:19
them that yes initial plan was going the
00:03:22
shortest way but due to root changes due
00:03:25
to
00:03:25
support congestions and the and then the
00:03:28
root change I have to make two plans
00:03:29
right now if you see these pink lines
00:03:32
like a highway
00:03:34
we are inside the public Highway made
00:03:37
specially by the Chinese Authority for
00:03:41
us to you know tackle these fishing
00:03:43
boats safely
00:03:45
now technically the fishing boats should
00:03:47
not be in between these in the in
00:03:50
between these pink lines but as you will
00:03:52
see on my radar screen
00:03:54
there are a few boats which are coming
00:03:57
here and there
00:04:01
okay so there is a change of plan this
00:04:03
Captain just came on the bridge and he
00:04:05
said we will take the shortest route
00:04:08
and I've put the shortest route back and
00:04:10
we will anchor somewhere here to adjust
00:04:12
and kill the 14 hours and you must be
00:04:15
wondering that why I don't bring the
00:04:16
captain on the camera because he doesn't
00:04:18
want to be and I always respect that so
00:04:21
whenever I put someone in the camera I
00:04:23
asked him if they say yes then it's okay
00:04:26
otherwise
00:04:31
so guys it is the same night what we
00:04:34
have planned is instead of dropping
00:04:36
anchor because the wind was too much we
00:04:39
have started drifting and we are still
00:04:42
40 miles from the pilot station
00:04:44
so plan is tomorrow morning we will uh
00:04:47
head back to our Coastline for now I
00:04:51
will stop the engine
00:04:54
because uh
00:04:56
we are already too far so the current is
00:04:59
from the
00:05:00
uh west southwest it is pushing us down
00:05:02
so I'm expecting in one hour we will
00:05:05
come back then I switch on the engine
00:05:07
again and go back so this is how we
00:05:10
drift to adjust our
00:05:12
ETA
00:05:14
we are still in the same location
00:05:16
drifting the weather outside has become
00:05:19
very bad
00:05:20
and we got an email from the agent that
00:05:23
the port is shut I will show you how it
00:05:24
looks hello Captain we regret to inform
00:05:26
you that your birthing schedule has been
00:05:28
canceled due to strong wind please wait
00:05:32
for further instruction so that's how
00:05:34
the mail came in
00:05:36
and yeah back to square one drifting
00:05:39
while we are drifting near the port
00:05:41
reliable internet access is crucial for
00:05:44
staying in touch with our loved ones and
00:05:46

the ship to the pilot age and then the
00:06:42
captain and the pilots will take us
00:06:44
inside Shanghai it's a night approach it
00:06:46
is almost 11 55
00:06:50
p.m and uh yeah I'm gonna go now and
00:06:54
let's proceed to
00:06:56
the largest port in the world
00:07:04
[Applause]
00:07:04
[Music]
00:07:45
so guys we are going to be entering the
00:07:48
largest port in the world
00:07:55
[Music]
00:08:08
foreign
00:08:22
[Music]
00:08:50
guys so we are in the world's largest
00:08:54
port with minus degrees right now
00:08:56
freezing temperatures
00:08:58
oh but what a great sight and we're
00:09:02
going to be here for the next 12 hours
00:09:04
so right now I'm going to go and first
00:09:06
catch up on my sleep because I haven't
00:09:08
slept right now it's 7 A.M in the
00:09:10
morning and I have to wake up at 12
00:09:13
:00 so it's going to be
00:09:15
not a very good sleep so anyway let's go
00:09:19
back and see what's the plan
00:09:22
so guys I had put my camera for a night
00:09:25
lapse of the approach I hope it is still
00:09:28
there
00:09:29
because
00:09:30
the wind was too high and I'm guessing
00:09:33
it oh it's there it's there so happy
00:09:35
about this
00:09:37
but that's the life of a Seafarer don't
00:09:40
sleep much I have to work a lot
00:09:47
so I'm back on watch guys I got a small
00:09:50
three four hours nap I would say not to
00:09:52
sleep because yeah that's not possible
00:09:55
but anyway that's the port so I will
00:09:57
tell you that this port is one of the
00:10:00
largest sports in the world we've got
00:10:02
dry dogs over there
00:10:05
and there are more container terminals
00:10:07
somewhere there I'm going to zoom in
00:10:09
later as a good second officer or in
00:10:12
fact any officer always remember that
00:10:14
whatever is under your responsibility
00:10:16
like the checklists and the pilot cards
00:10:19
should always be arranged remember
00:10:21
paperwork on the ship is very important
00:10:23
because by chance something happens that
00:10:26
is the only evidence that you know you
00:10:28
did something right or wrong can be
00:10:30
taken out from there and that's why I'm
00:10:32
doing all the paperwork for the passage
00:10:34
planning and I had to show you the route
00:10:37
the the Shanghai Port which is so big it
00:10:40
has just blown my mind I'll show you on
00:10:42
the route so dry dog starts from there
00:10:44
and then we enter the Container Terminal
00:10:47
so this is where we are presently from
00:10:50
forward running all the way to the AFT
00:10:53
is all containers
00:10:56
as you can see rightly
00:10:58
and then uh there are more terminal
00:11:00
which okay will go there and show you on
00:11:04
this side we have some Gantry cranes
00:11:06
construction of these cranes and they
00:11:10
are lined up for some delivery ships to
00:11:13
pick up I can already see them so that's
00:11:16
why I
00:11:17
noticed it so these are all the Gantry
00:11:19
cranes waiting to be all these waiting
00:11:22
to be picked up by some heavy load
00:11:24
carrier and transported to some uh port
00:11:28
in some country mostly all the countries
00:11:30
in the world are using Chinese grains
00:11:32
that's how it is then if we go further
00:11:35
this is our position
00:11:37
you've got so much I mean this is these
00:11:40
are all terminals and they they are like
00:11:42
10 miles stretching to 10 miles and I
00:11:46
don't know what these terminals are but
00:11:48
for sure these are all Jetties maybe
00:11:51
these are oil tanker Jetties
00:11:53
and it keeps going on
00:11:56
and on like a like a river which has
00:11:59
terminals on both the sides and we have
00:12:02
reached 34 miles so 34 into 1.8 that's
00:12:06
the amount of kilometers this uh Port
00:12:08
stretches so much cargo and this is just
00:12:11
one part of Shanghai there's the other
00:12:13
part on which uh the big ships go like
00:12:16
the tripolis and the Mr class used to go
00:12:18
there that is a small island but I like
00:12:21
that better approach is smaller all
00:12:22
right guys so what's happening in the
00:12:24
sport is that we are changing our life
00:12:26
routes which is a three yearly
00:12:28
requirement as you see last inspection
00:12:31
was 2022 not till 2025 it is okay so
00:12:35
this stick the Harry Potter stick is
00:12:38
used to test this humidity and CO2
00:12:42
concentration inside so I just put it
00:12:45
over here like this
00:12:47
and check the lights
00:12:49
so that is what I'm doing right now
00:12:51
because LSA is also under my control my
00:12:54
uh yeah you got it so the good part here
00:12:57
is that this is the only Chinese sport
00:12:59
where there is no lockdown and we can go
00:13:01
out and I'm just checking the moving
00:13:03
lines here and I saw this beautiful
00:13:06
looking uh merch ship
00:13:09
I am not able to see the name but it's
00:13:11
something from n
00:13:12
and while I am here I am also carrying
00:13:16
out a safety round that if there's
00:13:18
anything unsafe here I will report it
00:13:20
and then we'll make the corrective
00:13:22
actions so yeah that's happening
00:13:28
[Applause]
00:13:28
[Music]
00:13:39
thank you
00:13:40
[Music]
00:13:54
so we have successfully departed from
00:13:57
Shanghai the weather is so nice and that
00:14:00
is the problem as you see on my radar
00:14:03
screen
00:14:03
so many fishing boats big vessels now
00:14:07
tell me where should I go and you have
00:14:08
to learn how to navigate through these
00:14:10
small fishing boats because they cause a
00:14:13
lot of chaos and now we are headed to
00:14:15
nancha
00:14:16
so another yeah another two two days
00:14:20
almost one and a half days to go so
00:14:23
pull ahead
00:14:27
the best thing to do is first adjust
00:14:29
your radar accordingly and then reduce
00:14:32
the range so you will see once you go to
00:14:36
six nautical miles you have a better
00:14:37
Overlook and you are not overwhelmed by
00:14:40
the you know 12 nautical mile chart
00:14:42
which shows so much so you can even
00:14:45
reduce it further but for me I prefer
00:14:48
six nautical miles according to the
00:14:50
situation right now and then I navigate
00:14:53
through this so remember to adjust the
00:14:55
radar range and then assess the
00:14:57
situation because too much clutter
00:14:59
Causes Chaos in the mind and then the
00:15:02
decisions are impaired so better to
00:15:04
reduce the Clutter and look outside
00:15:07
always through the window as to what's
00:15:09
happening and I'm going to call my
00:15:11
Lookout as well because this does not
00:15:13
look so good well these aren't the
00:15:16
Chinese fishing boats which cause a lot
00:15:18
of trouble
00:15:19
see how it's trying to cross our turn
00:15:21
now
00:15:23
some more and more ahead
00:15:25
of pretty tough three hours right now
00:15:29
we have escaped the boats as you see
00:15:31
behind me these are paired trawlers who
00:15:33
are on the starboard side of the highway
00:15:35
the public main route so there's
00:15:37
somewhere here outside the weather has
00:15:40
become
00:15:41
pretty nice not so much cold it's around
00:15:45
think AC temperature
00:15:47
16 16 degrees Celsius
00:15:50
that's that's pretty good and yeah we
00:15:53
are going to be entering the Taiwan
00:15:55
Street very very soon so wait for the
00:15:57
time lapse of that
00:16:00
but now yeah
00:16:02
yeah tough days tough days I would say
00:16:04
tough days guys sleepless nights also so
00:16:07
guys I decided to hit the gym today even
00:16:10
after you know this poor Duty because
00:16:12
my sign off mode is coming in and I'm
00:16:15
going a little bit crazy so I have to
00:16:16
take out all the extra energy
00:16:21
it is nine almost nine
00:16:25
[Music]
00:16:26
years or sleep but that's okay because
00:16:29
it's the last fourth I hope fingers
00:16:31
crossed
00:16:32
and I'm just looking for my freezer then
00:16:34
we
00:16:35
go to the station
00:16:40
all right guys so that is our terminal
00:16:44
we are almost here
00:16:46
that's the good part is that the
00:16:48
temperatures are good just
00:16:53
[Music]
00:17:04
words
00:17:07
[Music]
00:17:22
[Applause]
00:17:25
so guys we are here safely alongside on
00:17:28
my last boat
00:17:34
moving operation just going to finish
00:17:35
you have to put the put everything on
00:17:37
auto tension and then leave the four
00:17:40
Castle
00:17:42
and go for our temperature checks we are
00:17:44
now unpacking the crane as you see for
00:17:47
the cargo operations
00:17:49
that is screen number one
00:17:51
and like this all the rest of the cranes
00:17:53
will be parked
00:17:55
and then cargo operations will commence
00:17:57
so ladies and gentlemen I'm going to
00:17:59
close this video now because I have to
00:18:01
prepare the last passage plan of the
00:18:03
last voyage for the last video of season
00:18:06
number three that'll be the next one and
00:18:08
uh it's gonna take a while so I hope you
