Rotterdam had the same problem many years ago. They made new land out of the city at the coast and built a totally new port.

I didn’t know anything about shipping, and now that I’ve watched your one video I feel like I do. Thank you.

This brought back memories . In 1957 on a British vessel docked at Newark NJ, saw my first container ship . No bigger then my own, big difference we were berthed for days, whereas the container ship for hours.
No need to be a genius to see where the future lay .
But there is always a downside . I visited ports across the globe, some with a single berth . Great experience, enormous fun, including logging towns along the west coast of Canada.

This video was randomly recommended for me. It is a really informative and interesting video. Speaker is clear and easy to understand and follow.

I remember some years ago the Port of Auckland needed new cranes to accept newer larger container ships. 3 were loaded on a ship in Japan and brought here fully assembled. It was pretty cool watching the cranes come into the harbour standing on the deck of a ship.

Fascinating! I have never really thought about shipping - only when there’s an issue that makes news - so I’m thrilled that this ended up on my YouTube feed. Thank you for the education!! I’m much more aware now.

I really like industry specific channels with localized knowledge that aren't afraid to put detailed information out there for outsiders! I'm really happy i found your channel!

I have watched a fair few YouTube videos about US infrastructure spending/building and it seems that the USA are really anti-infrastructure spending (unless its about cars) -

When we visited Hamburg we went to see the shipyard and although I thought it was really cool, I hadn't realized what a big deal it was until viewing your video! Thanks!

Great video! I did not expect to watch a video on shipping this morning, lol. Feel like I was educated:) loved the pictures and maps. Some of the ships are huge, had no idea that big! Thank you

My husband was a container truck driver starting 2020 or so. About a year and a few months ago. The ships started sitting. Not a lot of containers to be picked up. A lot of owner operators switched to long haul. That is even tough right now.

Chaos will lead to closer supply chain routes. Time to adopt is now. Thanks Sal. We need these ideas to help secure our future.

I'm a land lubber. Why do I love this stuff since discovering it all just a couple of months ago ?
Think it's because it's a 'weather vane' for what is going on in the world in real time and not through a MSM lens.
