My First MEGA SHIP Voyage - Didn't See This Coming!

After weeks in dry dock at Qingdao, our Maersk mega ship is finally ready to sail. This episode takes you behind the scenes as we depart dry dock, navigate through the Yellow Sea, and make our way to Ningbo, China.

It’s my first voyage taking over solo watch as a navigating officer – from bridge commands to monitoring traffic and weather, every second counts. Once we arrive in Ningbo, it’s straight into cargo operations, intense mooring work, and pilotage.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to handle a giant container ship, this video shows the reality – the pressure, the teamwork, and the sheer scale of operations.
Enjoy the video & don't forget to give it a big thumbs up if you found the video informative .

Also for those who are new to the channel - I am Karanvir Singh Nayyar , a second officer in Maersk , vlogging my Life At Sea Journey.
