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!

I stumbled across this while looking up the EVERGREEN "Ever Given" incident. This video is fantasic. Well put together and offers a good bit of back story info on how the Suez Canal opperates. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together and share your experience. Well done on editing. Impressive videography skillz, kudos to whoever put this together.

I think that I enjoy this guy's voice as much as I do his video. Listening to him's like taking a tranquilizer.

[Cesssn]

What a great story teller. You are the Morgan Freeman of the maritime world.

[chaseveg]

Thanks. Awesome video. I transited the canal while in the US Navy back in 1979 on our way to the Persian Gulf. Very cool. Brought back some memories.

[j.russelllacour]

Your videos are such a teaching and joyful experience.

This was wonderful! I have been watching the news about the blockage in the Suez Canal this week, and wanted to learn more about how ships pass through the canal. This was fantastic - and an extremely well done video! Thank you - I really enjoyed this. 👍🏼

My son is doing his captainship in school right now. He will be doing 60days on the CSL Walland, Canada, a grain cargo ship. It looks somewhat like your vessel. I have no idea what he was getting into, but thank to your video, I'm more knowledgeable of his future. Thank you for sharing us your world, it was most interesting.

This was the first of many of Chief Mokoi's that I have watched. I deeply appreciate his intelligent approach to each of his subjects. 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.

A great lesson in history, engineering and navigation, as well as beautiful landscapes. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

[cindyyurdana]

Glad I saw this, my father travelled the Suez Canal in the 1950’s on a passenger liner before air travel became commonplace and he always said the crossing was wonderful. Now I’ve seen it.

[rezzaaulia]

I find this because the Suez Canal blockage. Thanks for your information capt/chief!

[Hello-yebi]

@Chief Makoi- this video brought me to tears. I truly appreciate your videos because I miss my dad so much.

[kebon]

Thank you for taking me on your friendly ship via Suez Canal which I might never will travel in my lifetime. Very educational video, hopefully captain MaKoi will be a Netflix captain star soon.

In 1975 Went through Suez in first convoy, still wrecked ships especially in Bitter lakes, guns pointed at us from both sides, still the sounds of bombs, . we were taking cotton seed cake from Tanzania to Denmark for cattle feed so a potential explosive cargo . This episode brings back memories of back then all a part of maritime history . .
