@@ChiefMAKOi 😆 LOL ABC News out of London, the reporter called the container ship 🚢 A TANKER!!! Maybe his mama took his toy boat 🚢 away from him in the bathtub.
He Is clear because he is talking clear numbers....in math's there is no approximation ! Basically you have to circumvent the entire African continent, to go from Europe to Asia or Vice versa....the Distance and time Trebles !
@mark If he was Mexican he would be talking about how much it would cost to cross the U.S. border. “If you cross from the Laredo entrance it was cost this much in fuel, but if you go around the desert and cross from Tijuana it will cost you this much. All depends on how much tacos are in your truck “.
you can just make sure you use your back to get it off the water.. rent a car... drive to the mediterannean sea.. and that's it :))) or.. even better.. give it away.. get a ticket to cairo and buy another one there! :))))
I am curious if the Suez has a minimum speed. I know the panama canal requires boats to be capable of a minimum speed, mainly for safety so the little boats do not get crushed or cause traffic to get behind schedule.
You my friend are a bloody lifesaver, I have a very big game theory presentation due today, and my topic was about Egypt's most optimal options to make sure that no more ships ever get stuck in the canal ever again and I wasted 8 hours of my time to find how much it costs and all the stuff you explained in this video, please keep up the good work and you have gotten a new subscriber.
Not sure how this ended up in my feed, but I clicked nonetheless, and ended up learning some damn interesting factoids about how shipping and our supply chain works and how much it costs. Thank you!
Don’t forget that at 12.1 days you can go from Istanbul to Mumbai, back to Istanbul, and then return to Mumbai in the time it takes you travel 37.4 days around Africa. I understand I’m not accounting for loads and unloading but over a fiscal year, being able to cut your travel time by 2/3rds really adds up,especially if you run a company like Maersk.
Absolutely correct,,, I bet the costs will be in the millions if you choose to go the long way just from lost profit that you would make over multiple trips in 37 days... forget tolls, fuel, leases (ships and containers) and staff salary.... And I just thought of another one, the faster you can deliver, the more business you will get.
Who else on UA-cam could clearly explain such straightforward matter as clearly as the Chief, and without any crazy background tune and unnecessary insertions on editing in under 10 minutes? I salute you, Chief Makoi.
Thank you, Chief! Very informative video once again. I'm sure a lot of people have never considered all of the factors of shipping costs, such as fuel, ship charter, tolls/charges for canal and/or port usage. It all adds up and eventually affects the prices of everything in every day life, and has done so since mariners first put to sea. I look forward to your next video and learning even more. Calm seas, Sir!!
Thank you. What an informative video. I'm "retired", in my 70s a tutor math and science at a community college. The calculations in this video would make a great assignment for a spreadsheet. Students could see how a spreadsheet can be applied to a real world problem. A lot of possibilities.
Not to mention that it allows the ship to unload and gain another charter 25 days sooner. Thanks for sharing with us again chief, I always enjoy your observations and insight.
Dam good stuff Chief, as a Navy Vet I passed through a few times, wish the Discovery Channel or one of the Network come get you, thanks for you inspired insight to seafarers life!
No shit, this guy makes regular videos on the Suez Canal, so when the canal is in the news his videos are also promoted plus you probably watched a bunch of news videos about it.
Was stationed at Sharma el sheikh in Sinai in early 80s. Loved to see all the ships pass by at night under the stars in the desert. One of my fondest of memories.
@@asurvivor6150 If you are facing out over the Red Sea from the gate coming into the U.N. base at Sharm el Sheikh you can see for miles. Anything that passes through the Suez Canal can be seen passing to your right. Just to let you know I been there. I drove a fuel truck from the base there to Eilat twice a week in early 80s.
@@markberryhill2715 ok I’ll take your word for it, but I’ve been there twice and never saw any container ships; Only small yachts. I was probably more to the east so it wasn’t possible to see the ships
Amazing perspective for those of us following the current situation. Quickly become my favorite Channel to watch. About to go into shipping but on the Great Lakes
Honestly if 1 ship of a shipping company passes through it even once a week saving nearly a 100k per voyage on the canal, the company saves nearly 5.3 to 5.4 million USD per year.
And thats only a 40,000 tonner, my friend goes though in a 107,000 tonner with oil, 5 pilots , i think it costs close to 250,000 euros , dangerous cargo
on top of 1 Corona Virus Pandemic , 2 Global Economic recession , 3 War on terrorism , this is 4 Suez Canal is blocked crisis ..so now its 4 major world wide disasters going on right now.
Chief, your videos are always so well thought out and researched so well. I always enjoy them. As a pipe welder and fitter in a he USA, I enjoy going into the different plants to see how things are made. I also drove trucks for a number of years so I know that aspect of goods transportation and it’s always so nice to see other places that are involved in getting goods from one place to another. Prayers for you and the crew for safe voyages until you are able to go home again
Yeah definitely it's time and money saving way to go through Suez canal . Awesome video and thanks for sharing this detail with us ! May God be with you and keep you and your crew safe !
Thanks for that Chief. I've quite often wondered about this but never really went to the trouble to sort it out. Thanks to you I don't have to now. Lazy sod I'm afraid.
Thank you for that information, you give us a good idea on the difference in cost on passing thru sues and not. I see why those 300 plus ship decided to wait and a see instead of taking the long route. Thank you again I am in the shipping for almost 40 years nice to hear jim
I like watching your videos on ship operations. I've never been on any ship before. I live in California. You have an easy going manor about you. I don't know why, but I think this guy could be my friend. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Wow, never realized the actual costs involved in moving cargo with these big ships. I knew they used lots of fuel, but didn't realize it was that much. Cool video, thanks! :)
The Suez has been in the interest of world after a long time! Thank you EVERgreen and EVERgiven for highlighting Suez again for EVERy minute of time and thank you Indian crew for EVERything they had to face these 7 days. Thank you Chief MAKOi for this wonderful information. One should nEVER doubt his information! EVER!
I think what’s going un-noticed and deserves more respect than all his knowledge of shipping is that it appears he’s wearing a jersey heavy wool (itchy scratchy) jumper without a shirt on! What a trooper
Thanks, Chief! I found the toll estimator I'd guess Canal tolls provides a LARGE portion of the Egyptian annual budget... I'm going to chase down the Panama Canal tolls next! Thank you for all your hard work in these videos, especially an the end of a long day. You've got a big responsibility. If you can save 2 tons of fuel a day, you've saved the operators a Lot of money over the voyage!
I've been retired from Merchant Marine life for 10 years but in the 7 or 8 times I went through the canal on merchant ships, the cost always included at least 15 cartons of US cigarettes in addition to the transit fee. Cigarettes are part of doing business in many parts of the world.
Thanks chief... as an over-the-hill third engineer relegated to domestic waters, it’s nice to see the world out there goes on. Perhaps I’ll renew my STCW and travel after I retire from this gig.
In supply chain management there is a hard per-day cost associated with inventory. Because the company has to invested working cash in the inventory that money cannot be used for anything until the product is sold and paid for, so generally that lost cost is the annual return rate of the next best investment. It is why lightweight high value product like top model phones generally go as air cargo. (setting aside the first batch of a new release, which is time sensitive for marketing reasons) To be even more clear the time includes time on the shelf, which brings us to what can often be more important, at least for medium tier products. That is the reliability of shipping times. If total order to restock time varies by +-6 days then the stores all need to keep enough inventory to cover both the time between normal weekly deliveries and an extra 6 days, and have room to store a week plus 12 days in the event delivery is 6 days early. Which can become a lot of space for product as well as excess inventory. In other cases that may be a replacement part and the company has some broken machine stopping up a whole factory that normally puts out $20,000 per hour in product and employees wages.
Holy moley! That is a real shocker, I had no idea what the cost offset would be, Suez vs. around the horn of Africa....just a little pricey...I knew the cost of marine freight was pretty steep..but had no idea HOW steep it is. Thanks Chief, that is a real eye opener...great job on a super interesting and informative video..All the best to you and yours..Also, in advance, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Stay well, be safe!
Ola chief makoy!! your channel is very good !! im in Brazil and see your videos every day, they help me to learn english and somethings about ship, that i like !! huges from Brazil
Awesome job Chief !!! Thanks for posting this information from your truly knowledgeable perspective! Fair Winds and Following Seas to you and your crew !
Copy that shipmates...the Gulf of Guinea transit is also an experience all to its own. Have the fire hoses, electronic noisemakers and anti-boarding barriers at the ready. Carry on!
who else here realizes that UA-cam recommends this video to everybody BECAUSE of that incident? Also, who else here doesn't care what videos strangers watch?
I couldn’t stay awake for a AI narrated version of this content, but for some reason you just talking is very interesting. No music or anything fancy on top, just good info from a good dude
Chief Makoi I think this is the right time you gonna do Suez Canal video Part 2 whatever is the subject is. (Ex subject is a tidbits tour around Suez Canal).. its good for your channel. Am looking fwd of it..
I worked as accts payable. You need to pay in advance otherwise the ship wont pass. Around 20 100k ton container ships per week - any idea how much it costs? 😂. Discounts come after a while, imagine the pain in reconciling the payments. 🤢
That was a good representation of the costs of travel. The same can be said of the Panama Canal, it costs approximately $110,000 for a cruise ship to transit the "old" Panama Canal, I don't have figures for the new locks. Good Job Chief Makoi.
Very interesting info, Chief. Many thanks for this clear explanation! I believe the Ever Green carries about 20,000 containers and the approximate cost of shipping a 20 foot container is approximately $1,000 USD. If these figures are correct (I'm not an expert in this field), but wouldn't a transit generate about $20M USD? Against costs of $326K USD plus other expenses like insurance etc, it still looks like a rather profitable adventure. What are your thoughts on these figures, Chief Makoi? Thank you and much respect to you sir.
Thank you so much for the info Chief. Good to see your video again. Look forward to seeing more videos from you if you have time. Take care and cheers. :-)
This explains why the ships waiting to get into Los Angeles would rather wait than go around South America. You can sit at anchor for a good bit for that kind of money. Good job. Really like this guy and his videos!
The salvage guy called it Evergreen in the beginning, the map shows Evergreen but then later in the video he called it the Ever given & the map then called it ever given. Go Figure!!
Not necessarily, YOU probably bought a product for less cost than if it had used a different transit means, Do try to not be so quick with the lip: a tragic & ubiquitous problem these days.
Algorithm shows me this video after the Suez Canal gets blocked by one of the world largest container ships for the past 3 days. The cost of blocking that canal is almost half a billion dollars per hour in traffic jams.
Its actually required that you bribe the Egyptian pilots with 4-5 cartons of American cigarettes. If you don't they will literally never bring your ship through. Also the reason pirates go for cargo ships so often is because they have to carry 2-3 million dollars on board at all times for bribe and gas money.
A very interesting and informative video. Sometimes I'm amazed when I see some item made in China, for instance, in a store here in Las Vegas. I wonder how that product could have been manufactured and shipped and still have such a low price. It would be interesting to watch a video on how much it costs to ship a container. I believe, and please fact check this, that a year or so ago the cost for shipping a container from China to the west coast of the United States was so low that it didn't cover even the fuel costs of the ship. Now prices have risen to close to their all time highs. The best to al of you.
The reporters are bots, the Evergiven? I read
E V E R G R E E N. the reporters either cannot read, or they just dont care. How ignorant!
Evergreen is the company name. EVER GIVEN is the ship's name. 😄
Thanks for clearing that fact up. 😮 being from the US, dont trust MSM these days to get facts straight!

Yep the savings on interest on the value of the cargo alone might pay for the toll.
Turnaround time when looked at on an annual basis is the final decider
Also massive amounts saved in maintenance by using the shorter trips.

I believe the Ever Green carries about 20,000 containers and the approximate cost of shipping a 20 foot container is approximately $1,000 USD. If these figures are correct (I'm not an expert in this field), but wouldn't a transit generate about $20M USD? Against costs of $326K USD plus other expenses like insurance etc, it still looks like a rather profitable adventure. What are your thoughts on these figures, Chief Makoi? Thank you and much respect to you sir.
Thank you so much for the info Chief.
Good to see your video again.
Look forward to seeing more videos from you if you have time.
Take care and cheers. :-)
If ever the Suez canal runs at a loss, this would be the highest level of incompetence from the operators.
no just a great case of poorly managed corruption
Mind you the running costs would be substantial! (Constant dredging for a start...)
@@trooperdgb9722 Exactly. There is a lot of operating costs operating a canal.

Yeah, but they could literally double their fee and it would still be a good deal for most ships.
Should let Donald Trump run it for a year
Chief MAKOi you're so good about the computation for my 14 yrs onboard the ship only now I figured out the cost of transit to suez canal
I’m sitting in my hunting shack watching this it’s opening day of gun season here in Mi windy raining
This explains why the ships waiting to get into Los Angeles would rather wait than go around South America. You can sit at anchor for a good bit for that kind of money. Good job. Really like this guy and his videos!
wassup chief! did you get a new camera?, the video looks amazing!
Great Video Chief, best Seafaring Channel on You Tube in my Opinion.
I'm here because of the Ever Given got stuck!!
Evergreen
The salvage guy called it Evergreen in the beginning, the map shows Evergreen but then later in the video he called it the Ever given & the map then called it ever given. Go Figure!!
Never given
@@randymartosoewito7892 haha now they're going to change the ship's name to everstuck 😅😅
why do silly people say/report Ever Given when EVERGREEN is clearly visible on the ship's side
Well made video. Explains why the Suez Canal is important to the shipping industry
Hi Chief! Keep safe always. God Bless
putrid mythology
As usual another great video thank you Chief; Retired SCPO USN
So the end result is the Suez canal saves everybody money, and that savings is passed on to us as consumers
Not necessarily, YOU probably bought a product for less cost than if it had used a different transit means, Do try to not be so quick with the lip: a tragic & ubiquitous problem these days.
A real eye-opener. Thanks for sharing this Chief!
Using the Suez toll calculator on the Ever Given: add $1 million per day for staying in the canal, blocking other ships...
What about other ships it’s a domino effect do each get charged for blocking the one behind it ?
I have found Your channel on Nov 12, great content, you are a good story teller, best wishes.

Welcome aboard!
Algorithm shows me this video after the Suez Canal gets blocked by one of the world largest container ships for the past 3 days. The cost of blocking that canal is almost half a billion dollars per hour in traffic jams.
Hello Sir..
This is Gregory a IT engineer who wanted to be a Marin.. I really like you videos... I learning more about Marin life.
Marine*
Around 1990 it took our tanker nearly a full case of Marlboro cigarettes to get through (plus real fees).
Fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time to make these.
We need a Suez canal part 2.
A spare canal.
Use in emergencies only.
Americans are probably “on it.”
Kid now a day. Really!
Thanks for the video. Suez canal is one off the greatest achievement of human civilization which helping seafarers a lot.
Imagine the level of corruption going on with that amount of money being exchanged.
The wealthy live in a different world.
Its actually required that you bribe the Egyptian pilots with 4-5 cartons of American cigarettes. If you don't they will literally never bring your ship through. Also the reason pirates go for cargo ships so often is because they have to carry 2-3 million dollars on board at all times for bribe and gas money.
@@Blind_Bandito I can confirm the cigarrette bribes to the pilot.
Well a ship *container ship* with 12000TEU costs 105 Millions, so it's just normal for that much of money invested during transit.
A very interesting and informative video. Sometimes I'm amazed when I see some item made in China, for instance, in a store here in Las Vegas. I wonder how that product could have been manufactured and shipped and still have such a low price. It would be interesting to watch a video on how much it costs to ship a container. I believe, and please fact check this, that a year or so ago the cost for shipping a container from China to the west coast of the United States was so low that it didn't cover even the fuel costs of the ship. Now prices have risen to close to their all time highs. The best to al of you.
what is blowing my mind is that this video was uploaded four and a half months ago.
Nicely done Chief. A clear, concise explanation for the layman.
Glad you enjoyed it!
At this time, it looks tike one huge ship will be charged monthly rent..if they can't move it soon.
Bon voyage and keep posting your interesting videos Chief Makoi!
How about the Panama Canal? I would love to know about it as well
He did a vid 3 years ago u mite wana check it out
