189. Interview with a Marine Engineer

2d ago 45:02

MP3•Episode home

A Danish marine engineer joins us to explain the real work behind keeping a cargo ship alive: maintenance rhythms, critical failures, and the calm discipline that keeps risk low when the sea won’t cooperate. We compare corporate pressure to maritime responsibility, from Starlink limits to piracy protocols and the freedom of true time off.
• why a mechanic chose marine engineering
• cadet training, sea time, and certification
• daily engine room workflow and maintenance logs
• critical equipment, alarms, and failure triage
• autonomy versus corporate-style pressure
• Starlink connectivity, manuals, and troubleshooting
• contracts, rotations, and promotion pathways
• legal rest hours and safety culture
• multicultural crews and English as working language
• piracy risk, ship hardening, and safe rooms
• storms, medical support, and diversions
• life aboard: food, gym, games, and welfare funds
