Our ship transits the Suez Canal - Southbound. What to expect? What will you see? How much did our ship pay for the transit?

Chief! I enjoy your videos very much. Glad to have you back. I work as a chartering guy in bulker field so that I could explain a bit regarding the Canal Toll Fee rebate for your better understanding. It depends on vessel types and where the voyage started as well. Typically, VLCC & container ships get more rebate than bulkers. Meantime, the rebate only being given when the savings on hire & fuel is minor comparing with sailing over COGH such as from USA/North Sea to China. A voyage like yours from Black Sea to Red Sea or India will not get the rebate as it saves a huge amount of money and no one would go for COGH unless the ship's draft beyonds the restriction of the Suez Canal. I'm following your ship via AIS and look forward to your videos regarding the West Africa/Brazil/North Europe!

Even if it is a very important canal the amount of ships passing every year is actually quite low as 19,000, for example over 40,000 ships are passing through Istanbul strait every year!! I wonder why, because of high toll??

@@ChiefMAKOi Supposing you'd come from Port Elizabeth and you were on your way to the Black Sea, you could enter the Mediterranean via Spain/Morocco to avoid the Suez Canal. Therefore they would give dry bulk carriers like yours a discount of minimum 40% if only you took the eastern route via the Canal. They know exactly how much you save, and what you end up paying to the Egyptians is around half of that saving.

​@@BrassLock My comparison??? Read my message several times until you realize i didn't compare anything at all rather asked if there is a particular reason why so many less ships are using Suez canal!! Especially if we consider how majority of goods are transported by ships between Asia and Europe while this isn't the case for Black sea region where majority of goods transported by railroads and pipelines even then Istanbul strait has twice more traffic which is really weird i think...

He gives very practical lessons about modern life at sea through use of simple but very effective analysis of why what he says is true. You see an openly happy human being who loves his work and the people he works with. Each video details part of life happily lived, a rare thing in this day and age. Very refreshing.

Bitter Lake (Arabic: البحيرة المرة الصغرى; transliterated: al-Buhayrah al-Murra as-Sughra), through which the canal also runs. Before the canal was built (1869), the site was a dry salt valley or basin.[1][2] References are made to the Great Bitter Lake in the ancient Pyramid Texts.[3] Ships traveling through the Suez Canal use the Great Bitter Lake as a "passing lane", where they can change their position in line or turn around.

When I was a seaman at the late 1980's, I got to hold the steering wheel of the ship during the crossing of the Suez canal (south to north). I was very proud of given this responsibility, but also very nervous. Every sudden move of the wheel, will get the ship stuck on the bank of the canal. It was a 2 hour shift. I remember the captain standing next to me, nervously whispering to my ear: I beg of you, keep the 36 degrees azimuth, please! Afraid of screwing up, I asked the captain if he wanted to replace me at the wheel. He refused. The reason: Surprising as it may be, holding a ship's wheel is considered an ordinary seaman's (OS) job, not an officer's job. Sort of a “dirty work”. Hierarchy was so important, that they didn't care I had no experience at all! To make things worse, I had to follow the Egyptian pilot's orders, not my own captain. The routine is, he gives you an order (usually an azimuth) and you repeat it vocally adding the word “Sir!” Eventually everything went OK and I was very proud. Feeling I got through some sort of initiation.

That is very interesting! This type of 'hierarchy' has caused airliners to crash. It takes two pilots to fly an airliner, they must share the workload and cooperate! Apparently, it requires three people to navigate the Suez Canal: Captain, Pilot and Helmsman. No chance the Captain or Pilot would listen to a suggestion from a mere OS! I have much experience of navigating tiny English canals, a 70' narrowboat in a channel only 40' wide at a maximum of 4 knots. In a crosswind it is necessary to 'crab' into the wind in order to maintain the vessel in the centre of the channel and the slower you go the harder this becomes until both the bow and stern are in danger of running aground. Whilst I could instinctively compensate for variable cross winds and currents I would find it extremely difficult to do so by voice orders to a helmsman. In other naval services the Helmsman is/was a highly qualified seaman, better able to navigate and steer a ship than his officers. On a lighter note, this reminds me of a BBC Radio Comedy from the 1960s "The Navy Lark"; invariably the Captain would say "Left hand down a bit" rather than "Ten degrees port" followed by the inevitable collision.

I can tell you why it is called the Great BITTER Lake because I learned to swim in it some 70 years ago as an army child living in Egypt. BITTER is because it is extremely salty and this made it very buoyant so it was easy for a child to learn to swim; It was a beautiful part of the world, as I am sure it still is. It gave me the happiest days of my childhood. I just LOVED Egypt.

Fabulous to see, amazing feat of engineering skills to build this short cut waterway. I could see it be improved by widening to allow continuous two way operation, maybe one day! In a worst case scenario a bulk carrier or such like, could run aground or sink, so shipping would have to go the long way around, with the inconvience and extra time required to do so. I've never seen suez canal presented so well like this on video, well done and thanks for sharing it.🙂👍

Thank You Chief Makoi for this very nice presentation. It took me back to my sailing days and the countless crossings since 1966 . I do notice some changes in the topography since my last transit . But what I vividly remember was a day in 1967 ,when as a cadet, I saw a very worried Master sitting glued to the radio in the radio room, while tied up at Port Said, waiting for the south bound convoy. A few days after we made the crossing, the canal closed and my next transit was as Master in 1976. The canal opened in 1974. I think. Best Regards to you.

I have sailed through the Suez canal several times, and when the locals get onboard all doors are locked, also, the convoy are organized so that the fastest vessels are sailing first, also, if there is war ships they sail at the front, I entered a vessel during the Irak war, then the convoy sailed during night, with all lights switched off, I waited on the beach of the Suez canal at 2 o'clock at night I think, in total darkness, my agent said, here they come, and I did not see a thing, so from that I assume Egyptians eat a lot of carrots

Apparently it is called "Bitter Lake" due to its very high salt content. Before the canal was created, the area was a dry salt flat.

Would love to hear your thoughts on that ship that has now stopped everything. Can you even begin to imagine what the Chiefs thoughts are? Or do you completely get why this happened? I would love to be a fly on the wall listening to all the Chiefs from around the world's thoughts. But then again many arel on their way to Africa. Good God!

Chief Makoi, I found your videos very informative, and well made! I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate and I am planning to enter the maritime industry. I hope you can make a video on how I can do that. If it is too much, I hope I can just get a reply. 🙂 Some people that I know said that I need to study in a maritime school but no one points out what I need to study, how long, and what are the trainings that I have to undergo. I know this won't be easy but I want it. I really need guidance on this, because it is a decision that will greatly affect my future.
