The best part about YouTube is you get to find so many people highly knowledgeable about things you never knew you were interested in.

Thanks for the videos.

Great to hear from you about maritime news particularly on ever given with full facts and findings boss

Cheers to Mariners from USA

[ricetanzania]

Your sound could be a bit louder please. I don't like to miss out on your info

[jamescole]

Great video, love to hear news on maritime events. Hope you get more likes & start a channel on salvage & techniques..like that chain or cable slicing of non-refloatable c.t.l. casualties. Thanks!👍

Still hoping for more information on hull damage, Evergiven. I can imagine hull damage is a much greater problem than publicly discussed as ship must get to a terminal to discharge cargo (where?) before dry docking (where?). Doesn’t appear to be in best interests of Suez Canal Co to have that fully laden ship hanging around forevermore.

Funny how " Zeus" is " Suez" backwards.

Curious to know the root cause of this incident and final pay out by owners to SCA.

Best report so far on this story . Way to go bringing Mike Myers back . Where is USS Eisenhower at ?

[karenboudriault]

Well, are there children in the connexes?

[cshrock]

Did the military go in and save the children in the cargo boxes

[esahutske]

What are your thoughts on the possibility of Ever Givens’ computer systems being hacked and it being jammed up purposefully?

[poneill]

What toll does the Suez Canal authority charge for Sharks with frikken lasers on their heads (I expect the bloody bandits charge by the tooth)

[ssssss]

Owners have made good money with good container rates!! Share the profit with the USA funding!!

[ssssss]

Evergreen is only charter and carrier owners are different who will pay how much for this incident and how much amount is covered by underwriting insurance company!!

What us the root cause of this incident is it investigated??

[sammoore]

They slowed to 9 knots, not 13

Problem fixed

[ssssss]

Liability can cause to close down and bankruptcy of the owners???
