@scottbarton100 how do I become a longshoremen!!!

[jmvenus]

Can anyone that works at a US port get about 4 people a tour of a large container ship?? Like to walk through one that is loaded and one that is unloaded.

you can email me at user name at gmaildotcom

[infernodood3]

how does it connect to the container at 0:37?

[willhedoright]

@infernodood3 at the top four corners, the containers have holes and the crane has locking mechanisms (pins) that are designed to twist and lock inside the four corners of those containers .

[devojane]

@infernodood3 There are holes in the corners of the container, and locking pins in the beam which lock into them. (sorry, I don't check gmail too often.)

My babe is a long shoreman.Its a good job and the skills that they do is amazing. Thanks babe for this videos giving me the idea on what you do at work.

[sofa0king]

is this the yang ming pier or the cosco pier in long beach?

[devojane]

It's Yang Ming.

[alohawg]

You should film the lashers.

[devojane]

I'm in a UTR all the time now, so I don't get the opportunity too much.

[alohawg]

Gotcha....BTW, One thing I've NEVER seen, a female lasher.....'oh that's right, they get a pass.

[devojane]

Oh, I've seen them, and lashed with them, and some weren't even useless. Some were, though, and those are sadly the only ones anybody remembers.

[alohawg]

Wow, like to see video of one, seriously in all the yrs. coming in/out on ships, standing watches I've never seen one. That'd be a bigfoot on tape moment for me.

[devojane]

I haven't seen one in quite a while, but back when I lashed there were often women lashing with me. Lately, not so much.

[edhoek]

Hey !! I see a dutch spreader (bromma)

[devojane]

Those are Dutch? I never knew that.

[edhoek]

Yes, Bromma is a dutch brand !

Buy the way, you are from LA? I have a friend there Ray Familathy off the union, do you know him?

[devojane]

I know him, but not personally. I do know his wife Cathy.

[2derrickh]

is it iny fun and do you get payed much.

[devojane]

I guess it's kinda fun, but I do it for the money (which is quite a bit).

[skylinedavid]

in the part of the crane wich makes contact with the container , u have a camera, right?

[devojane]

Oops! I didn't see your comment. I don't drive the crane, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a camera on the beam.

[2derrickh]

so you work at that dock or somthing.

[devojane]

Yes.

[cousiwa09]

Which vessel is this?

[devojane]

The YM East, maybe? It was almost three years ago so I really have no idea.

[mingzhong78]

btw do u know how much 1 mth a crane operator earn 1 mth in yr port? i am also a crane operator in singapore

[devojane]

I'm not sure- it depends on how much you work, I guess. If you google "pma annual report" you might be able to get an idea. The report has lots of statistics on pay and cargo movement numbers and such.

[thesecretlivesofcats]

I'm a longshoreman in Los Angeles/Long Beach harbor. The night I took this I was a hatch boss but lately I've been driving yard trucks (UTRs).

[rubs1389]

Pretty tight video.. What do you do?

[Ihatestupidpeople727]

I'm guess your a ship deck boss?

[devojane]

Not every night, but I was that night. (We call'em "hatch bosses".)

[Ihatestupidpeople727]

Yeah.. that's cool. I know the names varies from person to person and port to port.

[cahalan12]

I'm completely fascinated with everything Port related. Thanks for the video!

[calzoid71]

Nicely staggered cell guides. It makes the job so much easier. What's your average hourly box rate? We do 30-40 depending on how crappy the ship is. Do you guys twin lift?

[devojane]

I'd say 30-40 is around our average, too. Most of the newer cranes have twin lift beams, and some of the older ones have been retrofitted. The crane in this video didn't have a twin lift beam when I shot this, but it does now.

[easy1688]

agree, way much better than yours jose.

[josehernandez16]

this video sucks

[devojane]

Better than yours.

[Ihatestupidpeople727]

yeah and so do you.
