He is good, Juan. : - ) I have to suspect that going forward. The Canal authority will not allow golden class ships into the canal, if wind speed is expected to be over XX knots. That seems to be the underlying issue here. With these golden class ships having 191,000 square feet of 'sail' on either side, and this being likely the first time in history. That a golden class ship received a wind of 40 knots while in the narrow canal. Will set this new standard/rule.
The reason why the losses are so huge due to this incidenten is that today's industry rely on "just in time delivery". They have only a limited stock on hand and rely on continious delivery. You can actually say that the container vessels is their warehouse, which now is stuck in the Suez canal and will be delayed💁🏼♂️
I was the shipping lead in my company for years, many large international shipments. JIT delivery can be a fragile pain in the ass! It’s a very interdependent system, if just one portion fails, the 💩really hits the fan!
" Container vessels is their warehouse " very well said. Since a year now we're being thoroughly reminded how fragile the complex network that is the basement of our society is, no? My guess of what's gonna happen is ...bingo! let the poor and the about to be poor middle class, pay for it. Whatever it is.
Ever heard of hurricane's , ice jams LOL I'm doubtful there is just in time delivery in the shipping industry. We'll from experience there is no such thing in eastern Canada and the north Atlantic
Indeed it is very likely that some of the suppliers of the goods will incur delay penalties due to the goods arriving late. Many just-in-time supply contracts do include provisions for delay compensation as do contracts for the supply of perishable goods that lose value over time. Most likely the risk of these costs will have been underwritten with insurance contracts though so the losses likely largely fall on the insurance industry as is usually the case for risks which while unpredictable are nevertheless foreseeable and calculable by actuarial analysis.
Chief, Congratulations!! When every Tom, Dick and Harry, is making statements and giving figures of their own imaginations, you stand alone.

Naturally he has touched on this incident, but his strength is in aviation and he gives the real facts you could want that the news media forgets or ignores.

Great video chief. It is hard to imagine that the Suez Canal Management Corporation does not have equipment available on standby for this very type of disaster. A large suction dredge would be of great value at this point in time. After all the investigating is done there will obviously be new regulations about ship size and flat plate area and expected weather conditions.

I have seen a dozen of news reports, analysis, situational report regarding the Suez Canal situation but this video is the real deal! Subscribed to you Chief!
Chief, I have to disagree with you on some aspects of your analysis, good tho' it is. This looks like a classic case of bank effect, possibly also involving squat. When a ship is moving through the water a high pressure area develops at the bow (front) and a corresponding low pressure develops at the stern (back). At sea this does not present a problem, however when a ship nears a bank the high pressure at the bow forces the bow away from the bank and the low pressure at the stern draws the stern into the bank. Additionally in shallow water the low pressure at the stern which causes the vessel to squat (i.e. sink down into the water) results in the rudder being less effective. In order to counteract the effect of wind, which would have been considerable, the ship was probably having to maintain a relatively high speed so as to reduce the amount of wind correction angle, known as drift, to keep the ship in line with the direction of the canal. This relatively high speed exaggerated both bank effect and squat which caused the vessel to suddenly sheer off course. This happens without any warning, very quickly and does not give the crew enough time to correct it. The only solution is to slow down but on a ship this size takes some time. The main question to ask is why a ship of this size was allowed to transit the canal in the strong wind conditions prevailing at the time. Don't blame the pilot captain or crew, look to commercial pressures, ship operators and the canal authority. Captain & Pilot (Retd.)
That was the most useful reporting of the situation I have seen all week. I know you are not involved with the ship or investigation but I would really love to see a more detailed opinion once its all wrapped up.
This has global political impacts.. I guess we really need those pipelines in North America after all. , and manufacture locally,, not China or Singapore
Pipelines are pointless esp oil ones. Someone is going to blow it up and create a bigger environmental disaster than the canal. Don't fall for the two way trap.
thank you for making this process clear Captain MAKOi. You keep the public ignorance under control. It is reassuring to hear from those who actually DO what they are talking about.
Your review of the grounding, coming from a professional's point of view, says more than what the so-called reporters have said totally. Thank you Chief Makoi. Be safe out there and God bless.
Another great job I knew I could come here for understanding the News networks are to Hollywood more coverage on entertainment 😐less on factual world events thanks again Sir!!
Nobody is going to pay, or do you get financial compensation when you are stuck in a traffic jam? This is simply a risk being in the shipping industry, and it does not matter if you're hauling goods in a truck or a ship. What makes me happy is the fact that the Suez Canal is free and that the autorities decided to give priority to the cattle carriers that were also in the queue.
The Suez Canal blockage is going to be a HUGE payday for all of the maritime and insurance lawyers involved in the litigation that will likely go on for YEARS.
Worldwide shipping insurance underwriting is a global monopoly belonging to one company: Lloyds… There’s nothing to be gained if they allow their various departments inside Lloyds or umbrella companies to start suing each other so they won’t.
Bullshit. This is a clear case of force majeure, or do you get compensation when you're stuck with your car in a traffic jam? This is simply a risk for being in the shipping business.
The way I heard it, the whole thing was an act of nature.. Strong winds and a sandstorm blocking vision. A stacked container ship presents a huge sail effect.
I've been through the Suez canal on a Navy destroyer and even then I thought it looked pretty God damn narrow I can't even imagine one of these behemoths trying to Transit it! 🤣
Did it on a supply ship. Should have taken a few pics when the turn came and all the other ships looked like they were sailing through the desert sand.
We have everything under control. I have ordered a destroyer and battle ship to the region for pirates and thugs who kill and steal. WARNING YOU WILL BE MET WITH DEADLINES. FLEET ADMIRAL COMMANDER ALBERT LABONTE USN. FLY NAVY FLY HIGH
Great video. Thanks for explaining, Chief. Ironically, I was JUST watching your video about Suez canal transit when I saw this news story. Love your channel stay safe out there.
Seems like maritime industry still has a lot to learn from aviation. Especially in standards of rules. When there is a human factor and systemic factor in an incident, the responsibility shouldn't fall fully at the people responsible. System needs to change so humans can't make the same error again, it's much more effective to spend money on improving rather than billing things with intent of punishing.
lessons will always be learned, but mother nature is always unpredictable, and there is not much that can realistically be done to give massive ships finite control in heavy winds, its simple physics. Plus while this might be costly, no human lives were lost and the risk to the public in accidents like this is almost zero. Therefore the pressure to make industry wide changes is pretty low compared to aviation. Ships run aground all the time, 99.99% of them we never hear about because they aren't a big deal. This one is just unlucky and ran aground in one of the worst spots imaginable. The only thing that could really be done would be to add an alternate passage, but the cost of doing such a thing for how often this happens is probably not feasible.
It is obvious the ship is overloaded. They managed to handle it in deep seas but the canal was too much. Too many people and too much shit, damaging the environment......trash, before and after we use it......We are surrounded by useless "shit". We are about to pay the price for that.
From an old retired pilot (airplanes). It shouldn't be hard to come up with a system for the canal similar to the glide slope for final approach on instrument landings. Not too expensive since you are only dealing with a centerline, with no slope. Ship could have a small receiver in the bow, and another in the stern. An instrument on the bridge (not expensive) would give a reading of both bow position and stern position within 12 inches. This would allow the Captain to recognize immediately when a changing trend begins, and how fast it is changing track allowing him info to decide how much correction is needed long before it is visibly obvious. I suppose a GPS reading from both stern and bow might also give the info needed. Any thoughts on this?
Negligible cost which is why most cargo goes by ship. The whole point of ships is that it takes so few crew, so little fuel that when spread out over thousands of containers it works out to a few hundred dollars per container. Daily cost of running the ship costs crew wages, a few $thousand, a bit of fuel to run a generator or two, maybe a $hundred, a bit of food, a few $hundred. If the ship’s main engine were on full throttle it would be $thousands every day, but a stranded ship won’t run the main engine. Run out if fuel? In and around the Suez there are plenty of fuel sources more than happy to charge a premium for bunker oil. But a clever ship’s captain wouldn’t run the main engine if the ship isn’t expected to go anywhere for a few days.
Seems like the trip to Brazil was a blessing in disguise. You could very well be sitting in that traffic jam. If you find out any info we normally would not see on our biased news, please share.

Who believes this was an accident?? 99.99% of you don't see a thing!! Taking down the World, is one of their goals. But what do I know??
I wonder if they can use a multitude of powerful suction sand dredges under and off the side of the ship? Effectively deepening the bottom and widening the canal at that particular point?
Thank you Chef Makoi. You bring to the neophites a lot of information about that ships aval industry. Very interesting to watch all of your videos. Cheers from Moscow.
So the canal pilot should just be a navigator/guide for the captain. The captian really should steer the ship and make all decisions since he is ultimately responsible for everything.
Then why are shipping companies forced to pay these pilots if they have no responsibility? At some point the Egyptian government has to realize that their pilots don't know what they are doing and their salary is comprised mostly of bribes.
The pilots all over the world (not just at Suez) are only advising the captain. Responsibility always lies with the captain. The reason the Panama Canal is different is because the ships are being moored to locomotive that are dragging the ships, therefore the ship is no longer in control by the captain. Actually I don't know if this has been changed with the new Panama Canal.
@@AbeBlinkin9 oh and the reason why the shipping companies want to take the pilot: if they don't I am sure their insurance company would find them negligent in their duties if they refused to take the pilot and had an accident.
As a Second officer working onboard a Chemical Tanker I fully understand what you're saying as well as the implications of it. I hope the Capt of MV. Evergiven can handle all the stress he is under now. Pray everything works out well.
Thanks for the simple and clear explanation! To me the most ironic thing of this whole situation is that this is not the first time this happened. Suez had been blocked before. But previously incidents happened in different sections of the canal and they were able to re-float the ships within a day or two. Imo, the reason Ever Given got stuck in the first place is because it's so damn big. It's one of the biggest transport ships, so big that not every crane can service it in port. Suez ain't build with a ship like that in mind. It's like 2/3th shallow water on both sides. To properly and safely allow these kinds of massive ships to use the canal, each and every one of them should be accompanied by at leas 1 tug boat to course-correct. Also, the south stretch of the Suez should get an additional canal for two-directional movement like the northern part. But where you'd find so many tug boats? Who will design and dig the secondary canal? Where the money to upgrade the infrastructure is gonna appear? Nowhere. Cause capitalism is all about that immediate 200% profit and not about investing in the infrastructure unless forced to do so.
@@hansybarra Yeah but the US shipping can just sail East instead for the West Coast. It's longer sure, but less of a pain in the arse than 13 days along the two coasts of Africa
@@capnskiddies You mean Chinese shipping can sail east to US, that's true. The problem is that the shipping to the east coast of the US will have to wait for the trucks to cross all the country from west coast ports. I just don't know the time it will take comparing to shipping through the South African route.
Hello dear friend: Thank you for explaining the Suez Canal operations at layman's level. Your presentation is so appreciated. Love you and may God bless you and your crew. 🤗🌞🇺🇸
Squat may very well have contributed in this case, at high speeds and reduced depth below the keel, ships like these get sucked down significantly due to a ventury effect between hull and the seabed. This can severely affect steering. Bowthrusters work best at low vessel speed because of the large directional stability at cruising speed Rudders work best at high speed. A vessel like this should be able to retain course in any windspeed especially in the flat waters of such a canal otherwise they could hardly be called seaworthy. It may have been a catch 22, steam full speed ahead or reduce and use bowthrusters. Cruise ships with similar are designed to hold position and have massive rows of thrusters and 360 degree azipods to hold position in any kind of wind. Container vessels not because of economic, logistical and structural reason. They are designed to go in a straight line across the world as economically yet safe as possible.
Thanks Chief. An amazing and intelligent comment about what's happening. Very informative summary from a true professional of the information known. I think the Master of the Ever Given will be haunted by this accident for a very long time. Whatever the findings of any inquiry, it's not the kind of slip anyone really wants in their log. The main thing is pray everyone is safe and the ship is recovered without further accident. Journalists and Journalism are just armchair scaremongers.

Suez Canal forces the ships to take on their pilots to use the Canal. Their pilot runs it a ground and they blame the ship captain. I guess when you own the Canal and the courts you can do what ever you want.
The captain is responsible for everything on the ship. The pilot is a hired consultant. The captain must have one along, but the choice of which one , and how much he does is up to the captain. It is also up to the captain to be responsible for making sure the ship is seaworthy.
@@ulfjohnsen6203 Ulf, I think there mightbe different responsibilities for different canals. EG in the Panama Canal, the Pilot is a consultant to the ship master but the Pilot has full responsibility for navigating the vessel. I tried to look up if the same rules apply to the Suez as well.
The pilot had darn smoke in his eyes from the freee cigarettes he has been getting for years free gratus of the shipping owners as bribes to get the vessel up the suez canal or the marlbro canal as its well known in the tanker buisness
In any organization there can be only one top decision maker, the person who has to decide. The river pilot serves as the knowledgeable navigator for the unique zone of the canal. A wise captain is one who knows to listen to the officers working for him or her then take the input and make wise decisions. Several errors have been pointed out in today’s videos that indicate the captain might be smart but not wise. Time will tell.
This guy is at it as well...The bloody ship’s name is “EVER GREEN” it is clearly written in frikkin HUGE letters on the side.......Where does he get Ever-given from? I wish these illiterate tubers would learn some basic English or at least bother to read the source huh!

I was only watching one of your vlogs on the Suez Canal few days ago, and this happens. How crazy is that . Great vlogs 👍🏻
thank you for making this process clear Captain MAKOi. You keep the public ignorance under control. It is reassuring to hear from those who actually DO what they are talking about.
Your review of the grounding, coming from a professional's point of view, says more than what the so-called reporters have said totally. Thank you Chief Makoi. Be safe out there and God bless.
Another great job I knew I could come here for understanding the News networks are to Hollywood more coverage on entertainment 😐less on factual world events thanks again Sir!!
exactly why I'm also here 😅
The flip side to the backup is when all these ships get to the same ports about the same time. Ports are going to be overflowing with cargoes.
Damn right 🤭
@@optimistjumeuh5116 Yep and not enough truck drivers to move it so the ports will be backed up causing further delays
I literally just watched your video on the costs for going through the Canal... now this video. Awesome content and information. :)
Well done sir, easy too comprehend the issues. But the magnitude of this mess is almost incomprehensible. Thank you for your initiative.
Nobody is going to pay, or do you get financial compensation when you are stuck in a traffic jam?
This is simply a risk being in the shipping industry, and it does not matter if you're hauling goods in a truck or a ship.
What makes me happy is the fact that the Suez Canal is free and that the autorities decided to give priority to the cattle carriers that were also in the queue.
Disrupted sailing schedules cost a fortune in every port worldwide.
It's not just the ships waiting in Egypt that are affected.
The Suez Canal blockage is going to be a HUGE payday for all of the maritime and insurance lawyers involved in the litigation that will likely go on for YEARS.
if you're a Lawyer, now's the time to seek jobs at their Insurance company! xD Work for YEARS 110%
The lawyers are now planning their early retirement . Lots of money involved.
Worldwide shipping insurance underwriting is a global monopoly belonging to one company: Lloyds… There’s nothing to be gained if they allow their various departments inside Lloyds or umbrella companies to start suing each other so they won’t.
Bullshit.
This is a clear case of force majeure, or do you get compensation when you're stuck with your car in a traffic jam?
This is simply a risk for being in the shipping business.
The way I heard it, the whole thing was an act of nature.. Strong winds and a sandstorm blocking vision. A stacked container ship presents a huge sail effect.
I've been through the Suez canal on a Navy destroyer and even then I thought it looked pretty God damn narrow I can't even imagine one of these behemoths trying to Transit it! 🤣
Done it on a couple different carriers while in the Navy. From the flight deck, all you can see in land.
Did it on a supply ship. Should have taken a few pics when the turn came and all the other ships looked like they were sailing through the desert sand.

The way you narrate is so soothing it feels like we are listening a ship story
lol
@@georgem5560 yeah 😅 now I have edited ....it was a typing error*
I was anticipating to hear your thoughts on this!
Wow, best informative video I have seen on this topic, well done!
This amazingly thorough, no bullshit, professional explanation has just earned you a new subscriber sir.
Okay, maybe not "thorough" but thorough enough.
Seems like maritime industry still has a lot to learn from aviation. Especially in standards of rules. When there is a human factor and systemic factor in an incident, the responsibility shouldn't fall fully at the people responsible. System needs to change so humans can't make the same error again, it's much more effective to spend money on improving rather than billing things with intent of punishing.
The strong gust of wind made it impossible to steer.. EVERGREEN regardless which human.. piloting.
Maritime rules and standards have existed before power flight was even possible and they are pretty strict
@@brendenlothamer1680 yeah and are now leagues more relaxed than aviation in terms of safety.
lessons will always be learned, but mother nature is always unpredictable, and there is not much that can realistically be done to give massive ships finite control in heavy winds, its simple physics. Plus while this might be costly, no human lives were lost and the risk to the public in accidents like this is almost zero. Therefore the pressure to make industry wide changes is pretty low compared to aviation. Ships run aground all the time, 99.99% of them we never hear about because they aren't a big deal. This one is just unlucky and ran aground in one of the worst spots imaginable.
The only thing that could really be done would be to add an alternate passage, but the cost of doing such a thing for how often this happens is probably not feasible.
@@SuperReznative shouldn't have been in canal in those conditions, have you ever heard of a weather forecast?
I’m kinda shocked someone hasn’t done this before and on purpose just to cause problems.
Dont be so sure its not the case now........jus sayin !
Takes a large, CHINESE ship...
It is obvious the ship is overloaded. They managed to handle it in deep seas but the canal was too much. Too many people and too much shit, damaging the environment......trash, before and after we use it......We are surrounded by useless "shit". We are about to pay the price for that.

Japanese ship made in Japan insured by Japanese company. It costed about a billion and half so far as of yesterday.
Greetings from The Caribbean.
Much Thanks for Your Thoughts and Insights Chef.
Stay Safe.
From an old retired pilot (airplanes). It shouldn't be hard to come up with a system for the canal similar to the glide slope for final approach on instrument landings. Not too expensive since you are only dealing with a centerline, with no slope. Ship could have a small receiver in the bow, and another in the stern. An instrument on the bridge (not expensive) would give a reading of both bow position and stern position within 12 inches. This would allow the Captain to recognize immediately when a changing trend begins, and how fast it is changing track allowing him info to decide how much correction is needed long before it is visibly obvious. I suppose a GPS reading from both stern and bow might also give the info needed. Any thoughts on this?
What about the stranded ships? What’s the cost of sitting idle for crew and ship alike? Could more get stuck if they run out of fuel?
PS5s aren't shipping from japan to the usa :"(
Negligible cost which is why most cargo goes by ship. The whole point of ships is that it takes so few crew, so little fuel that when spread out over thousands of containers it works out to a few hundred dollars per container. Daily cost of running the ship costs crew wages, a few $thousand, a bit of fuel to run a generator or two, maybe a $hundred, a bit of food, a few $hundred. If the ship’s main engine were on full throttle it would be $thousands every day, but a stranded ship won’t run the main engine.
Run out if fuel? In and around the Suez there are plenty of fuel sources more than happy to charge a premium for bunker oil. But a clever ship’s captain wouldn’t run the main engine if the ship isn’t expected to go anywhere for a few days.
@Mike Quick wait i thought it passes PS5s to European and Middle Eastern countries as well before reaching the US 🤔
the memes of this situation so far have been hilarious.
watch this
I learned about thte interactions of the hull and screw in shallow water; it is surprisingly complicated.
Been waiting for your assessment on this. Thanks for some great information.
Congrats chief, I'm one of your first 100 subscribers. keep adding value to the maritime community. 🇵🇭
Seems like the trip to Brazil was a blessing in disguise. You could very well be sitting in that traffic jam. If you find out any info we normally would not see on our biased news, please share.
Who's going to pay?? Of course, the "rich" countries. Most of the World is too poor to pay anything.
Has anyone noticed the quantity of calamities happening for several years now??
Who believes this was an accident?? 99.99% of you don't see a thing!!

@@JonHeckendorf Jon.........lol...
Fascinating, well-made video Chief! I feel really sorry for the Captain of that ship.
Did you hear the Chief? You should feel disappointed with the person responsible. Feel sorry for everyone else.
Why? The Captain is responsible for what happens on a ship. End of story.
Thank you for clearing up THESE ridiculous statements.
Awesome video with the details. Loved it 😍

I do that on the channels I know I will like, because I often then click on a suggested video at the end and don't want to scroll up to like it lol
I wonder if they can use a multitude of powerful suction sand dredges under and off the side of the ship? Effectively deepening the bottom and widening the canal at that particular point?
Thank you Chef Makoi. You bring to the neophites a lot of information about that ships
aval industry. Very interesting to watch all of your videos. Cheers from Moscow.
So the canal pilot should just be a navigator/guide for the captain. The captian really should steer the ship and make all decisions since he is ultimately responsible for everything.
Yes.
With the exception of the Panama Canal, that is how it works (in theory)
Then why are shipping companies forced to pay these pilots if they have no responsibility? At some point the Egyptian government has to realize that their pilots don't know what they are doing and their salary is comprised mostly of bribes.
The pilots all over the world (not just at Suez) are only advising the captain.
Responsibility always lies with the captain.
The reason the Panama Canal is different is because the ships are being moored to locomotive that are dragging the ships, therefore the ship is no longer in control by the captain.
Actually I don't know if this has been changed with the new Panama Canal.
@@AbeBlinkin9 oh and the reason why the shipping companies want to take the pilot: if they don't I am sure their insurance company would find them negligent in their duties if they refused to take the pilot and had an accident.
I am happy I am living through a historic moment that will be talked about for centuries
As a Second officer working onboard a Chemical Tanker I fully understand what you're saying as well as the implications of it. I hope the Capt of MV. Evergiven can handle all the stress he is under now. Pray everything works out well.
the suez canal pilots were in charge
@@davidjones-vx9ju As per the company policy as well as the Suez Canal law the Master is held accountable.
Good work again Chief - calm, informative and concisely given information as always. Thanks.
Thanks Chief, nice informative video...greetings from Egypt
We were waiting for this video chief !
Awesome explanation Chief 👍👍👍
Who's going to pay? You and me of course. Every price rise over the next two years from every shop or business will be blamed on this incident.
.. opportunists on wallstreet.. Know Jesus everyone
The amount of exaggeration will make millions for the more skilled bullshitters.
The MBAs and Data analyst will just magnify the amount
This video is over-the-top fascinating. Thank you for explaining some of the process on how ships navigate through that canal.
Thanks for the simple and clear explanation! To me the most ironic thing of this whole situation is that this is not the first time this happened. Suez had been blocked before. But previously incidents happened in different sections of the canal and they were able to re-float the ships within a day or two. Imo, the reason Ever Given got stuck in the first place is because it's so damn big. It's one of the biggest transport ships, so big that not every crane can service it in port. Suez ain't build with a ship like that in mind. It's like 2/3th shallow water on both sides. To properly and safely allow these kinds of massive ships to use the canal, each and every one of them should be accompanied by at leas 1 tug boat to course-correct. Also, the south stretch of the Suez should get an additional canal for two-directional movement like the northern part. But where you'd find so many tug boats? Who will design and dig the secondary canal? Where the money to upgrade the infrastructure is gonna appear? Nowhere. Cause capitalism is all about that immediate 200% profit and not about investing in the infrastructure unless forced to do so.
But from that 12% of global trading, How much comes directly from China to Europe? I guess that more than 50% of European shipping will be affected.
And North America too.
@@hansybarra Yeah but the US shipping can just sail East instead for the West Coast. It's longer sure, but less of a pain in the arse than 13 days along the two coasts of Africa
@@capnskiddies You mean Chinese shipping can sail east to US, that's true. The problem is that the shipping to the east coast of the US will have to wait for the trucks to cross all the country from west coast ports. I just don't know the time it will take comparing to shipping through the South African route.
Don't forget S Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Sri Lanka. They also must use the route.
Excellent no B.S. explaination!
Ok, let's stack another two levels of containers, what could possibly go wrong?
This guy gives such a brilliant explanation.. Respect for u 🥰🥰
Hello dear friend: Thank you for explaining the Suez Canal operations at layman's level. Your presentation is so appreciated. Love you and may God bless you and your crew. 🤗🌞🇺🇸
Squat may very well have contributed in this case, at high speeds and reduced depth below the keel, ships like these get sucked down significantly due to a ventury effect between hull and the seabed. This can severely affect steering. Bowthrusters work best at low vessel speed because of the large directional stability at cruising speed Rudders work best at high speed. A vessel like this should be able to retain course in any windspeed especially in the flat waters of such a canal otherwise they could hardly be called seaworthy. It may have been a catch 22, steam full speed ahead or reduce and use bowthrusters. Cruise ships with similar are designed to hold position and have massive rows of thrusters and 360 degree azipods to hold position in any kind of wind. Container vessels not because of economic, logistical and structural reason. They are designed to go in a straight line across the world as economically yet safe as possible.
And what speed do you consider ''high speed'' through the canal?
Thanks Chief. An amazing and intelligent comment about what's happening.
Very informative summary from a true professional of the information known.
I think the Master of the Ever Given will be haunted by this accident for a very long time.
Whatever the findings of any inquiry, it's not the kind of slip anyone really wants in their log.
The main thing is pray everyone is safe and the ship is recovered without further accident.
Journalists and Journalism are just armchair scaremongers.

Great interview Chief, appreciate just the facts with no drama
2020: craziest year ever

Wouldn't be surprised if a ship got stuck in the panama canal next.
What are you doing step ship ?
Imagine all the stink eyes they’re going to get when they finally get unstuck and have to go by all that held up traffic.
Dammit Chief now i have to wait even longer for my high tech showerhead from China! . thanks for the explanation and the good laugh you gave me 🤣
Those other ships better keep their head on a swivel...pirates / thieves foaming at the mouth looking at all those sitting ducks!
.. IT"S, far greater impact than you realise, this creates factory shut downs, layoffs from receiving parts, food supply to cities, and agriculture supply during crucial seeding season /food production, .. power outages for storm beateb countries that need transformers... Wake Up, its not a video game. Bible prophecy unfolding before our very eyes. Repent, know Jesus
Depends on where you are. If in the US it might be shipped direct to the West Coast of the US with little delay.
Just stumbled onto your content, did not realize how interesting running a ship was. Thanks
You are a Great Communicator!
Insightful commentary. Thanks Chief
Suez Canal forces the ships to take on their pilots to use the Canal. Their pilot runs it a ground and they blame the ship captain. I guess when you own the Canal and the courts you can do what ever you want.
The captain is responsible for everything on the ship. The pilot is a hired consultant. The captain must have one along, but the choice of which one , and how much he does is up to the captain. It is also up to the captain to be responsible for making sure the ship is seaworthy.
@@ulfjohnsen6203 Ulf, I think there mightbe different responsibilities for different canals. EG in the Panama Canal, the Pilot is a consultant to the ship master but the Pilot has full responsibility for navigating the vessel. I tried to look up if the same rules apply to the Suez as well.
Eventually the vessel master is the one holding the steering wheel !!
The pilot had darn smoke in his eyes from the freee cigarettes he has been getting for years free gratus of the shipping owners as bribes to get the vessel up the suez canal or the marlbro canal as its well known in the tanker buisness
In any organization there can be only one top decision maker, the person who has to decide. The river pilot serves as the knowledgeable navigator for the unique zone of the canal. A wise captain is one who knows to listen to the officers working for him or her then take the input and make wise decisions. Several errors have been pointed out in today’s videos that indicate the captain might be smart but not wise. Time will tell.
I think the highly exaggerated figure is more based on the disruption to the supply line than the direct cost
Plot twist: Evergreen was paid to bring the shipping scene some publicity.
Or it’s a ploy by the Chinese to interrupt trade routes to the west.
its name is not Evergreen its ever given
@@jonasemilaksnes evergreen owns ever given
@@SG-xy6hf I can agree on this
@@josefastboats5874 No, the ship is owned by a company in Japan, and is operated by Evergreen shipping company, out of Taiwan.
