Political issues generally do not have a clear answer. It's often more difficult than a "yes" or "no". Take a hot topic, like gun ownership, then you'll get my idea.

That was fascinating. Nobody thinks about the cash flow situations. You are a teacher and your humble attitude is why I've made your videos required viewing for me. Be safe my friend.

Did not know Chile charges passage fee for Straits of Magellan, Looked it up, learned something. Thank you, Chief.

I didn't know that either. I thought that it was open ocean. Maybe they have to pay to have rescue ships available. I hear it gets a little choppy there. I wonder how treacherous it is for a large container ship compared to a "little" wooden sailing ship?

I read that if Global warming keeps up the northwest passage around the top of Canada would be available for ships to transit. There was a big deal made when Canada announced it would charge a fee for ships to use the "open ocean" up there as well.

We transited the Panama Canal 3 weeks ago on the cruise ship, Nieuw Amsterdam using the Panamax locks with 1600 paying passengers. We were told that our transit fee was $450,000. This fee was comparable to prior cruise ship transits we have done. Very nice video!

I'm always surprised, when the cost of operating a ship is so high, why shipping companies tend to be such skinflints when it comes to crew comforts like decent and free WiFi. It must be a practically insignificant cost in the scheme of things.

Until very recently ago, charter rates were below the full cost to maintain a ship. Many cargo ships were therefore scrapped, which lead to a reduction of the supply. Ship owners who survived that period financially are doing fine again now but it is a hugely cyclical business that can go sour again in a few years. I'd keep a lid on costs if I were in that business...

Because they know they can get labor from poorer or disadvantaged populations, so they don't need to be as concerned with whether their employees like it. And because they are companies, they will cut costs anywhere they can get away with it.

Chief Makoi is good instructor of the new seaferer.Keep safe always chief and God Bless your journey all the time.

Super interesting! Those costs amaze me. I’m just a consumer sitting comfortably and would never have guessed the magnitude of cost for shipping!

If we had public school teachers and college professors teaching the way you do Chief, we would have a nation with decision makers and planners making intelligent choices and policies, and avoiding much of our self-created difficulties. Great job sir.

Chief: We had the pleasure years ago of traveling through the canal from the south to the north on a cruise ship. I found it amazing that the entire operation is gravity fed. No pumps are used to manage the water systems to raise and lower the ships. Thank you for your presentation I found it most interesting.

This was really fascinating. My father, when he was in the US Navy was stationed in the Canal Zone (then it was US territory). He always had some great stories of his time there. Thanks, Chief.

You really know your science in this incredible process of cargoing. Don’t think that a real word but it works. . . Thanks you. I did enjoy.

Chief, I am continually impressed with the growing quality of your productions. However, I still miss your onboard VLogs.

I spent 4 years as a kid there, at Fort Clayton, which is right next t the canal! I used to ride my bike to the locks in the early morning, with my monkey Fred sitting on my shoulder. This was the early 1970s... and it was a magical time for me. Dad was Army, and because of him we traveled to many wonderful places on this planet. Thank you dad, miss you.

A few years back, I took a cruise from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale via the Panama Canal. They said that the cost was $500,000 approximately using the old Panamax locks. That seemed to agree with the extra port charges times the number of passengers. They had a lecture on the history of the canal. I had a good time photographing the activity as we passed through.

The ones running Suez and Panama canals know pretty much the cost of going all the way around, and set their prices accordingly. Fuel goes up, fees follow. They know they have the worlds ocean traffic in a solid grip. You think it's too expensive? Oh, you are welcome to take another route. If the north west passage will be ice free every summer in the future and considered a free or low cost water way, they might have to adjust the fees.

Letting the Egyptians and the Panamanians nationalize the canals was an incredibly large mistake. Letting two unstable countries - in possible war zones - control the two biggest trade bottlenecks is beyond risky. The Egyptians have raised the fees enough lately that some people have just been going around Africa instead of paying them.

I am a mechanical designer and also a retired professor. I'm Brazilian, I'm 68 years old, and I've lived for 5 years in the United States. I love watching your video lessons, and I can say that you have a wonderful didactics. Congratulations!

Very interesting video. Most of us land lubbers have no idea of the cost of shipping. Also, great to see you being able to spend more time with your family at home.

Time is money isn’t it Chief? I used to drive 18 wheelers in the US for a few years. When I had my own truck, I did trip planning the same way, especially if I was running from North Carolina to Boston. The North East corridor can get pricey with road tolls, especially NJ&NY. Back 20 years ago, it cost $20 to cross one bridge. I usually took a little longer route but came out way cheaper than forking out 60-70 per trip (2 a week) just for tolls. My loss in time and fuel consumption was no where near the loss of money just in tolls. Much love to you Chief.

The shorter route saves fuel and 10 days time. The ship is then available to load cargo and be under way about 10 days earlier. By now a ship taking the longer route is a week from arriving in port. The canal allows the ship to work harder in a year and make more trips and more money.

Exactly what I like to see on a Saturday morning

Hey Chief, thanks for another great video. Brad Houser said it first - that's called "opportunity costs", that extra 11 days could have been spent doing something else that makes money, not to mention 11 days more wear and tear on the ship.

Fascinating as usual, thanks Chief! 👍👍

This is the best simple breakdown of the costs I've seen , love it .

Thanks chief nice information shared. Cool have a fantastic day.

Everytime interesting and clear. Thanks Chief.

Fascinating! Thanks, Chief!

this was dope ty for doing these calculations. always curious about canals. amazing and so productive

Thank you Chief. I enjoy and appreciate your videos . 💯

Another good and fascinating video from the Chief himself. Thanks man

I’m always happy when you post a video. I had always heard it was expensive but cheaper, great to see actual calculations from an expert.

Your videos are truly the quality I look for. It may not even be something that interests be but the way you deliver the subject makes it well worth watching.

That is amazing. Something I never would of known about . Thank you. I love your videos.

Happy to listen and learn Chief

Evening Chief, Wow, that's quite some saving and time. Many thanks for your time to film and explain. Best regards.

Yet another fascinating and informative video. Thanks, Chief!

Cheif, excellent presentation, really enjoyed getting a sense for the numbers. I recall as a kid once reading that someone swam across the canal and his toll was 50 cents.

Most interesting, thank you Chief.

Finance can really give you a perspective on the world. Very educational video. Of course all Chief MAKOi's videos are very educational!

thank you again ,excellent as always

I learned something new today. Would it be possible for you to show samples of the different types of fuel that a ship burns such as ultra low sulfur, low sulfur, bunker/resid and do a video about it?

WOW. Great Video. Thanks Chief.

Outstanding presentation!!

Good job explaining this. You speak explain everything clearly and concisely in all of your videos. With a savings of 11 days you make the ship available for another load plus some days left over after the 2nd time it passes through the PC raising possible profits.
