Over 90% of the world's trade is carried by sea. Follow along a day in the life of a cargo ship Deck Officer aboard the Maersk Montana as the ship prepares to set sail from Charleston, South Carolina for Houston, Texas. The container ship has finished cargo operations but the channel has been closed due to dense fog. As the 0400-0800 and 1600-2000 watch officer, I will take you along my day as I stand a foggy port watch in the morning, and navigational bridge watch in the evening. See the various meals we eat onboard, the cabin accommodations, and some of the shipboard operations that take place as we set sail from Charleston.

"Things you never knew you were interested in."

As a maritime student, it's actually awesome when something that is taught in school is applied in real life. Can't wait to be in a ship one day!
-
There's something so intensely magical about a ship and port when it's still dark out. Loved every second of this 👍
-
I work in the shipping industry myself, not on a vessel but I take care and supply a fleet of more than 50 tankers operating worldwide. (sea charts, log books etc.) Really refreshing to see what a day on a vessel really looks like. Greetings from Germany

I wonder why YouTube decided to suggest this to me today.. 🤔

One of the many jobs that quietly make the world go round. Really interesting! I will check more of your channel.

I’m a pilot for United Airlines and I find the shipping industry fascinating. Keep making videos

My dad was a cargo ship captain, watching your video brought memories of the time i sailed with him.

Seems personality is a huge factor aboard such working ship. As an old dude, Bryan I believe you have tons more communicative power than many doctors I’ve had over the years. You instill calm, confidence in your abilities, skill sets, moreover a deep sense of self that transfers good vibes towards others. You make people feel all is well in your world. I world until now I never realized. Thank You 🙏 Bakersfield, California

Bryon, I just discovered your channel and subscribed, I've followed a couple similar channels and enjoyed them. It's been over a half century since I served on 3 different ships in the 60's (Electrician) and it's a treat for me to "go back to sea" in my old age , on YT, with the benefit of 4K, image stabilized camera's and people like you. Entering and leaving ports and following on Google Earth is almost like being there, thank you for your effort.

I haul containers from rail yards (likely from ships like these), and I appreciate the work you guys do. It keeps supplies moving, which keeps people like me working. 😁👍

You just know a lady like that is going to cook you some good food.

Great content. There is something satisfying about getting this glimpse of life on board. Keep up the good work and be safe.

Didn't think cargo vessels had such comfortable and luxurious quarters. The ship is clean and tidy and the rooms are huge
-
Quality is amazing as always. I can understand it take alot of efforts to make such amazing videos. Thank you man

Ships, trains, planes, militaries, fire, police, all over the world work like this 24/7/365. Millions of men making the world run.

My boys and I would work as night mates on that ship when it came down to Houston. That was back when we were fresh out of school. Good times.
