Sir jeff? Do you have a filipino crew onboard?

Clarification: Ships travel north/south between the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Twenty years ago my brother and I did a partial canal transit aboard a cruise ship. After anchoring in Gatun Lake, we disembarked to tour the older locks with operating "steam donkeys" instead of tugs and also swim in the lake too. It was an experience I'll never forget!

Jorge, I lived in Panama, in the Canal Zone. I have 2 younger sisters who were born there. I visited last in 2006. It's still a beautiful country with beautiful people. I have many wonderful memories from there. Best wishes and be safe!

To think my grandfather had to traverse the Tierra del Fuego when he was in the Merchant Marine over a hundred years ago--it took weeks to get from the Pacific to the Atlantic and it took you about half a day. Human ingenuity is amazing.

Finally found a video on KZread without any dislikes. Love from India JeefHK♥

This is something people don't usually get to see. It's nice to see all work you guys do and makes me appreciate your work to keep the global economy moving. Hope to see more videos from you soon!

As someone who will never in their lifetime be able to experience the human ingenuity that is the Panama Canal, thank you so much for this! It's so much better than seeing four photos of it in a textbook.

Nice description of a passage through the new lane of the Panama Canal. Really enjoyed the video and the memories from my previous passages of both the old and new locks.

I've posted this before. I work in Neurology and perform painless EEG tests on kids. I show the autistic kids your videos and they get caught up watching so I can perform the test without them resisting. A recent patient wants to be a helmsman now thanks to you and Saturn!

Great editing! Thanks I followed my ford mustang from USA to the states and followed the ship through the Panama canal!

I had am accident last year and ever since after that I was not able to get back into sailing. Watching this give me pure joy and brings back the good old memories of being a sailor. Stay safe and have fun at work Jeff

I was the Construction Manager on the Cocoli Locks for the Panama Canal Authority for 5.5 years from 2009 thru 2014 and it still amazes me. It was a tough build but what an experience! Congrates to all involved with the build.

Great video, as always. These are giving a great insight on how the world of shipping actually works. And nice to see Norwegian Star at the lake, we've worked on that ship in a dry dock a couple of years back.

I love the sky when timlapseing its so satisfying

Thanks for the wonderful video. In the 70's, I have a chance to work on OOCL's container ship, later I decided to work on a new OBO ship instead, sailing between Japan and Australia. Life on the OBO (we only carried ore, not crude oil) was less stressful than working on a containership. I have never had a chance to go thru Suez or Panama canal. Thanks for the video and at least I can experience the fun of sailing thru the canal by watching your video. Cheers!

So happy to see you check in with another vid Jeff! It's been a while! I watched this with my sister who was visiting but didn't get to pay much attention to detail so had to watch it again! Happy travels!

Ur videos re being used in our Clg for STCW courses Nd also for the subject cargo work(container lashing) etc. Thnk u for making this type of informative videos. Be safe sir during this covid19 situation.

I absolutely love your use of time-lapse imaging with your narration. It's educational and fun to watch artistically; a rare quality in KZread vids these days. :)

Jeff, Thank you. I am from Panama, I always like to show my students more about the Panama Canal. You video has great details about the actual process. I like the way you showed a little bit about the history and maps so the students can appreciate more the distance etc. Thanks for sharing/Gracias por compartir!

Chain drop, awesome! I have never been thru the Panama Canal, Thank you for the tour. Very exciting

Man I really love your videos, they give me a look at the career that im into! I'm at first year of Argentinian Merchant Navy School. Thanks a lot for your videos. Greetings from Argentina.

It's so interesting how you take on different pilots at different places to facilitate communication and operations as you pass through the locks, come into harbors, etc. The part where you go through the mountains is amazing too!

Wonderful video. Look forward to complete time lapse of trip. We transited same direction west to east back in the 90's. We were on a Crystal Cruise trip, had come down west side of Mexico, and then transited across southern Caribbean with stops on many islands. Hired a car on Aruba and drove with friends around the entire perimeter of the island. Good times. The transit thru the canal was fascinating. A real marvel of engineering. I remember they had a viewing stand where public can sit and watch ships transiting at some point along the way, I think at the western end. Maybe we will see that in the unedited time lapse.

The timelapse makes it look like if the ship just crash into the walls XD. Nice work of navigation and maneuvering!

Hello Jeff, your content is incredible, thank you so much for sharing. I get to see stuff i could never imagine since i'm a land rat. You gave me a new perspective with every video you upload, and i am amazed for everything you do did and done so far. I hope you continue your path and stay healthy. Thank you! I love it!

I also went two times through the Panama canal also with a Containership. Going through the rainforest with a giant ship is really amazing. But the day of the Passage is always a really long day 😅

Great to see a view of the new locks. I was there in ‘82 before these were built. I remember Mira Flores locks.

Brilliant Video Jeff- answered many of my thoughts and wonders about the canals

Incredible footage and editing, thank you so much for sharing

Thank you for always incredible vlogs. I crossed the canal once 40 years ago. It was Gatun Lake that made me feel "I'm in a tropical forest". Rain and low hanging clouds on the forest were so impressive that I clearly remember the scenes even now.

Great video ! I appreciate all of the details you included like the navigation (GPS) map and other important details. I always wondered about the scrapping the side if the ship which no one seems to answer on their videos. Thank you for what you do. And this video’s quality Is good enough to be shown ob the Discovery channel ! Amazing video !! Again, THANKS !!

Imagine working at the Panama Canal and every day, having huge ships come rolling through, nearly and sometimes scraping the side, while you just watch, waiting for the command to move your tugboat forward

Fantastic video, I really like the navigation overlays. Editing the yellow ship moving along the route must have taken you ages!

I had no idea about any of this, you are providing not only a great service to the world but educating people too. Thanks man!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE timelapse. Your service, in our global society, is absolutely essential. People often forget this. You keep sharing --- we will all keep watching. You missed your calling as a Hollywood producer !!!!!! Great job.

Man you are the best merchant ship youtuber out there Btw I was waiting for your video for a long time and I love your videos and have you ever come to india cuz I am from there 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

I’ve been through the old locks and haven’t seen the new locks. Thank you.

Great content and edit, and stunning timelapses, as always! I love to play finding landmarks or piers ins Google Earth. As you say, this canal is amazing, vessels saliling across mountains. Can't wait for the timelapse!

Always a treat when I see one of your masterpieces pop up in the feed! Thanks for making my lunch break that much more enjoyable!

Thank you for these amazing insights of the cargo world!

Awesome, fascinating, great footage and put together in an interesting way. Thanks!

I love these little trips with you, thank you for giving us a little taste of what it is like on board one of these amazing ships.

Wow, it seems like there is a whole filming crew doing all these different shots and angles, incredible that this is done by only one man! Great stuff. Keep it up!

As usually, amazing video OOW Jeff :) Keep them coming, Thanks! Fair winds and following seas!

Huge fan of the time lapse footage. Some interesting stuff today too such as monkey island, thanks!

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy these videos. Not only are they beautiful but they’re incredibly entertaining and so informative and interesting. I love every new video!!

Your explanations are so clear and informative. The video is fascinating. I loved every second of it.

Jeff, loved this! I grew up in Panama, and have 2 sisters who were born there (when there was the Canal Zone, Panama). Gatun Lake is about 85 feet above sea level, so that's why the locks were made to bring you up to the lake, and the back down to sea level. Not sure if you're aware, but Panama has been having a problem with some water shortages, and also deforestation problems. The government is trying to address these issues.

Thank you for the video of the new Panama Canal. I went through the older canal back in 1969 while on the USS Galveston CLG-3, traveling from San Diego to the Med and back again. Since Lake Gatun is fresh water we did a test of our chemical and biological wash down systems. I’m surprised they don’t have the Mules that are on the old canal. One fond memory is the night before we traversed the canal. We had liberty in the Enlisted Mans Club, what a rip roaring time we had there. Now that is another story all together. Take care and stay healthy

Great video again! I love how you put the map and radar screen on the video to help keep the viewer informed where you were!

Finally a new Timelapse! Spectacular as always :)

Been waiting for a new time lapse thank you💯

Your videos are pure quality! Feels like a lifetime since I watched a new video of yours!

Thanks for the vids! It's so interesting for a Swedish guy like me who never been on board a big merchant ship in my whole life. Keep it up! I'm waiting with joy on the next one ❤️.
