POV: You’re the Chief Engineer on a 100ft Ship (Start the Ship’s Engine)

Hey there! Thanks so much for watching my video! I’m Ryo Masahero, a 28-year-old marine engineer working in Tokyo Bay. Right now, I serve as the chief engineer on a bunker ship, but over the years, I’ve worked as a deck officer on cruise ships, sailing ships, firefighting vessels, and tugboats.👨🏻‍✈️ At 20, I earned my Class 4 licenses for both marine engineering and deck operations, along with certifications as a First-Class Small Vessel Operator and First-Class Maritime Special Radio Operator. I also passed the written exam for the Class 3 deck officer license—but honestly, I still have a lot to learn.🇯🇵 On this channel, I share what it’s like working at sea, stories from life onboard, and insights into the maritime world. Even if you’ve never stepped foot on a ship, I hope these videos spark your curiosity about the ocean and the amazing people who keep it moving. I’m not a native English speaker, but I’m working hard to improve! Please be patient with me as I keep learning and growing—both as a sailor and as a communicator. So if you love the ocean, ships, or just want a glimpse into the world of seafarers, hit that subscribe button and come aboard for the journey! This channel exists because of you.
