11:05 Well, that should tell you what UN Conventions are worth when the rubber meets the road. Nothing. Ink on paper. And to be brutally blunt, Israel as well as the US is treating UN Conventions the exact same way. In reality International Law means: I can bring about fait accompli and can back it up with armed and/or economic strength. That' it. End of story.
How is Egypt fairing with the decrease in traffic thru the Suez?
My speculation for it as far as it has to do with Israel is to force the world to put pressure on Israel to get out of Gaza and leave Hamas alone.
They are essentially holding the world Hostage.The Michigan 7's "epic 15 knot run", said with just the right amount of enthusiasm made my day! That was an epic journey and masterful ship handling by the pilot and crew.
10:18 how is that ship so far out of the water. ?? !!
its run aground ?Safe travels! I see the SS United States every time I cross the bridge (a lot) or shop in the area where it is docked. Makes me sad and a little angry and I always hope it is not a metaphor for the country. They never should have let it get to this point. The govt should have acquired it or some wealthy patriot.
The hull plating is often thicker on lakers, because they deal with ice in the early and later parts of the shipping season. This lends itself to a long life, as do shorter swells on the lakes.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on shipping, Sal!The infamous pier boondoggle fell apart again as it was being assembled. One foot swells will apparently kill it.
Will Sal take his subscribers with him in the life raft.
if ther eis life in the universe these routes would be easy to see, fermi paradox wins again maybe we will find something someday
Chapeaux Captain Sal. Reportage par excellence. Surprising reasonable, rational, open minded and hearted ❤. Fair winds and following seas ☝️♥️✌️🌍🙏🇭🇲🇿🇦
The world must take a zero tolerance towards rogue states using armaments against states, vessels or vehicles.
Great video! Thanks for the updates around the world. Also, I’ve just read an article about the SS United States….what a ship! Shame it’s rusting away. Also have been following the dry docking of Battleship NJ! Some really cool videos on their channel! Check them out! Thanks again Sal!
The Israelis aren’t doing anything illegal.
The US would have stopped it by now but Biden is weak and can't go to war without looking horrible
Yemen is doing what other nations ought to be doing. Boycott, divest and sanction the criminal state of Isnotreal. Isnotreal is committing crimes against humanity.
So Sal, stop making it sound like the houthis are attacking all trade and all ships. They're not.
Thought he went to figi ❤
Your the best❤
Great job Sal
I started watching your channel with Dali incident, I have enjoyed watching your channel since. I am a ED nurse in Jacksonville, FL which has nothing to do with shipping but I enjoy learning about shipping. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great video
Viking funeral has my vote.
Legal, illegal ? Do you really think there is such a thing between nations ? Perhaps the Houthis are simply convenient proxy's for the Russians/Iranians to "sanction" western economies in response to the sanctions the west imposes on Russia/Iran ?
Who is funding the Houthi? They are not holding vessels for ransom or capturing the cargo?
Been with you from 3000subs
I respect the Houthi in their efforts to prevent pollution in their region. Maybe other like-minded pirate organizations should take the same steps to prevent global trade and address pollution. We all can "just stop oil" by eliminating it and all the products and services that use it in our lives.
Lost me at the whole "my knickers are tied over illegality of Houthi attacks"… uou mean like Iraq war drone striles in Yemen by Obama, presence in Syria and Jordan….😂
I don’t think I need to tell you this Sal since this is your wheelhouse. But I feel as a fellow tar heel just up the Road from me I would do you a solid and let you know the proper term in a situation like this with the Shipping companies making the call to go all the way around, the proper term for this situation is they go “ROUNDTHEOUTSIDE” just like the two trailer park girls go……..ROUNDTHEOUTSIDE. 😂 let’s see if you kno this reference
in a world where the US and its western "allies" have made the new rules "might makes right" there is no precident in international rules when it comes to shipping and embargo rights, so as they have make rules based on their power, we see nations and non state actors use their powers to create new rules based on the reality of power in their respective regions of operations. Besides all they have to do is declare a ceasefire in Gaza and the region for these attacks on shipping to cease. Free Palestine
