Life At Sea In The Merchant Marine Aboard A Cargo Ship

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 04000800 and 16002000 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.
