Fantastic and timely explination of this incident. Great job! And the background on the earlier incident with the collision in Hamburg between a ferry boat and the Ever Given was a scoop on legacy media outlets. Your personal knowledge of the places, type of vessels involved, and local conditions was extreamly enlightening. Thank you Same Ship Different Day!

With a pilot on board the Suez Authority have full control of the ship. I really can't see them letting this ship into the canal surly protocols would have to be observed if the conditions are undesirable. Owners of ships entering the canal must indemnify the authority as a condition of navigation for any losses as a result

Great and informative video, its great to understand exactly what happened and and the lead up to it as all the press keep on saying was that it was windy. Your clips of the ship going into the canal was particularly useful to watch as it clearly showed that the ship was having problems right from the start.
Alfie, another great video, thanks! 👍 Very informative, helpful and easy to understand. The video showing just how the vessel was coming into and moving through the canal was super cool! Till your next video- stay well! 👍
Good to hear the view from an export. Happy to see you discuss this (and any) ship/sea related subject. Learned a lot. Thanks.

Well you are certainly not hearing the truth here on this channel! That ship got stuck in the Suez Canal because it was remotely Guided by another source in order to show the public who are in a coma what is really happening in this world with human trafficking and other things. Perhaps there were lots of vaccines on board that expired by a certain time and date and then they couldn't be used to harm us?

So interesting! Thanks Alfie!
Thank you very much for your detailed information. I think you are right in saying the decision that it was safe to enter given the strong winds was a mistake.
Thank you for your very interesting and informative information on the canal situation. I became interested in the Suez Canal after having made one trip through the Panama Canal and one trip into the Panama Canal on cruise ships. I was talking to the captain of a wide cruise ship that could not have made it through the Panama Canal old locks so when he said that they had been in Australia and at the time of my trip we were out of Miami I asked him how they got where we were and he said Suez Canal and immediately I knew I wanted to go see the Suez canal in person. I'm hoping the trip that I've signed up to do that on in November of this year gets to go. So I really enjoyed your informative information peace and have shared your video with a bunch of my friends who I think would also be interested in it. So thank you for making such interesting videos.

I had a project in the 00'ties, designing and engineering the propulsion system to a chemical tanker, and some time after the vessel was put in to operation it almost crashed into a harbour, and I visited the vessel some time later, then the chief-engineer told me he had trown himself to the floor and prayed to the virgin maria to help him, and the captain could not talk for 2 hours after the incident, and the chief engineer was crying with tears when he told me, we can laugh and make jokes, but for seamen I think this is not such a fun topic

@@xvsupremacy7190 I wonder why the captain would be arrested...it's the pilot that has complete control of the ship, and becomes the "captain" once he/she boards the ship. The actual ships captain doesn't make any decisions as to when the ship enters the canal, speed or anything else once the pilot takes over...which these pilots go through extensive training in Egypt.

CAPITALISM did this. In all these crises....if CAPITALISM is to blame, everyone should be honest about it. IRRESPONSIBLE GREED caused them to be reckless and enter on a super-windy day. Every other ship should sue the F outta the capitalists who did this.
It's a bloody miracle anything at all makes it from point A to point B.

Seen an article in the news somewhere that the US Navy might be helping trying to get the Ever Given out I might be wrong but that was what I read. It is so interesting to see you take on it someone with your experience and I hope they can get her out though and I found this so interesting though. Stay safe Alfie take care too
This was a great explanation. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this Alfie. Now I understand 💡the hydrodynamics 🙂 . The bank and squat effects work in the same manner as lift does with aircraft aerofoils because of the fluid flow. Well done!
Very interesting. My other half will like to see this. He got his Masters Certificate with Shell back in the 70s and travelled the world but strangely he never went through the suez, more the Panama Canal. We did go through it on P&O Oceana leading about 21 vessels - great experience.
Very educational video. Thanks.
Awesome info. Thanks
Always find your videos interesting 😊 I would love to see a video with a detailed explanation about the ranks onboard a cruse ship. On ferry’s that I have worked on, their have bin only 3-4 bridge officers. So when you have 3 stripes I think chief officer and second in command 😊
Well said with excellent graphics!

Thanks Scott. Welcome to the channel
In retrospect this was a great explanation and I especially appreciate how the guy acknowledges and explains how he re-set his initial conclusions as to the cause studying the events and circumstances - that's the mark of wisdom. The only shortcoming, and this is in retrospect, is that he probably didn't give sufficient consideration to the power of the tides - especially at the time - to lend a helping hand in perhaps freeing the vessel sooner than his estimate may otherwise have been. The explanations of bank and "squat" effects were fascinating and very well done by this fellow. As an aviator, I can appreciate the influence of these phenomena, which appear to be akin to wing loading as well as ground effect. I'm actually glad I didn't watch this when it was published because then I would have been less inclined to take the under on a 3:1 over/under bet for a release as of mid-day Monday (Pacific Time) - as it turns out - I woke up Monday morning having won the bet.
Fantastic explanation thank you.
I travelled through the Suez Canal in 1967 on the Fairstar, leaving Southhampton on March 14 (5yo) enroute to Australia. We were the second last passenger vessel to go though the canal prior to it closing due to gulf crisis later that year. We could not dock at either Pt Said or Aden, which was planned, and even being so little I remember the gun boats circling our ship. I thought it was exciting, my parents were scared. . After that all migrant vessels had to travel round the long way. I’ve watched many videos on the canal because of the connection, and been interested in this event for the same reason. Thanks for the most informative and impartial roundup of this event.
Super interesting. Great job!
Thanks Alfie for all the videos, Hope to see you when we go in August 6 cruise X135N lets hope

Thank you I enjoyed your video from New Zealand
Great video thanks for the info 👍🏻👍🏻🚢🚢
That 3D image is awesome. I am a map man and that graphic is very helpful.
I've been an aero enthusiast most of my life. Bank effect (It seems) works a lot like lift on a wing. Also some racing cars use ground effect to suck the car down onto the road, affording moe grip and cornering speed. In NASCAR drivers race as close as possible to the wall & other cars to reduce drag. It's all very similar fluid dynamics. On the ship (in this example) the drag differential exerts a turning force on the ship, I'm only guessing but, I think the force is rotational because the bank is not perfectly straight, I think (although I might have my brain in backwards) if the bank were completely straight and the ship parallel with it, rather than rotate the ship, the bank would pull the ship in. Helicopters suffer a similar issue when operating near structures or cliffs. Mountain rescue pilots for example have to compensate for the wash coming back off the cliff whilst rescuing climbers.
What a great explanation. Worth repeating to anyone interested .... but do we attribute Alfie? At least the ship now appears to be floating BUT they will have to ensure the canal is clear below the water before traffic starts again. They suspect it may have plowed the bottom somewhat.
Great job at explaining for us no Mariners! I have been on Voyager of the seas coming out of station pier in Melbourne and they wouldn’t leave due to wind as the channel is rather skinny (as you would be well aware of!). I guess cargo lines need to be more on the risk taking side as the $$$ involved.

Thanks for the info. on the Suez and what happened with Evergreen. Fasinating! Love the Godzillas! lol
Great analysis with great insight. Thank you! Ultimately, it all comes to a different decision that could have been made by both Master and Suez canal authorities. A decision that would allow millions in savings...
I agree that weather conditions will have to considered more to prevent this kind of mishap.
He is Dr John Campbell of Ships I guess, here to enlighten us.
As a former able seaman that has spent many hours on the helm as well as anchor watch, I just have to shake my head on this. Its always sketchy going through a channel much less with a high wind and at relatively high speed. Now I have never been on a ship this big, 800ft was about my largest but I see a few things that could have been attempted that weren't. I imagine it happened pretty fast with the speed they were going but I would have at least had at least made an attempt. Anchors, bow thrusters, etc.
Love your video’s Alfie. 👍
