You are among the most credible websites on the internet. I value your videos greatly!

No need to apologise for the content of your video updates. You present all in a professional and unbiased manner. A pleasure to follow your postings

You always do the best job at being transparent.

Thank you for your continued coverage of these topics. I am retired with have 40+ years experience with military , commercial and recreational shipping. I thought your coverage of the Baltimore bridge incident was spot on, you stated throughout your videos that there may be differences in this ship vs those on which you have served. Keep on rocking at what you do!

I know enough about the maritime industry to know that you always are doing your utmost to bring facts to your channel.❤

Great video, thank you. There is a saying: "you can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time." 🤗

Your info and vids do not rate criticism,keep up the good work.

I've never served on a yacht but I did serve in the Navy and I can say that your information is valid and correct according to my experience.

You always do a great job with total integrity. Remember those who can, do. Those who can't, criticize. Never apologize to the jerks.

Your coverage of all things Yacht, ship, boat is superb

Your coverage of all things maritime is excellent. Don't change a thing.

If I remember correctly, you did in fact advise that the bridge event was not something you would normally cover but many channel members asked your opinion. Your experience, information gathering and thoughts are certainly better and more informative than some of the "news" channels with their guesses and conspiracy theories. Keep going eSys!

I personally like that you have covered the bridge disaster the way you have. If people don't like it they can not watch. I love all the content. Keep going the way you are.

All ocean Activities relate to each other !!! I am a Scuba Instructor, but also a Skipper. Every Ocean Vessel has the same issues related to Gear, navigation, Equipment, Propulsion ... Many Superyachts are "Ships" ... Everyone in the ocean business needs to be aware of all ocean activities and be aware how all systems work and integrate !!! Lessons learned in any ocean activity are lessons for all of us engaged in Ocean Activities !!!

Living within the environs of Savannah, a major U.S. port, I was very interested in what happened in Baltimore. I found your coverage and information regarding the Dali better than what I was seeing on local and other news sources.

You always have a wonderfully fresh, insightful, yet non-judgemental, straight up delivery. I totally trust what I learn from you, and thank you!!

I've been here for years, before this before Ukraine etc... You know what you're talking about, and when you don't you're not afraid to say so. You also have a great community (at least those who have been here a while) who offer info. I wouldn't worry about what others think, especially laymen who have ZERO experience outside of floating a boat in their tub but think they are experts.

In New York, the situation was totally different. The ship lost propulsion shortly after leaving it's berth while being escorted by tugs in the Kill Van Kull channel. Additional tugs came to assist, and they moved the ship several miles to the anchorage in the upper harbor, north of the Verrazzano Bridge until repairs were completed.

I for one, love the fact you are covering other events that are related to the large ships incidents as they could occur on super yachts ! 👍🇨🇦

Glad you covered the bridge story, it’s about boat/ships. They both share the same waterways and risks…. So u can learn from either. Keep up the good work.

They are only removing the containers to be able to get to the wreckage and ultimately remove the boat from the area. Important note is that those containers are built and designed to moved from a ship in minutes by a specialty lifting system at Ports. It is slow because they have to strap up each container slowly to move off the Dali by a crane.

Your time, efforts, and of course knowledge is what brought me here year(s) ago and i have found you too be top of the game. Thank you for all you do!

I really enjoy your coverage and knowing you are mostly superyacht I still came here to get your take on the container ship incident because I feel like you are a very keen observer and objective in coverage. Absolutely an important and valuable viewpoint, especially compared to a news anchor that has zero first hand knowledge.

Boss eSysman, you were military 🎖️🪖. Awesome, from one veteran to another veteran, I am thankful for your service 🤙🙏🤙🙏🤙🙏

You’re doing great. Keep up the good work. You know more than most channels reporting on ships and yachts events.

A special thanks to y'all who make this channel so very good....Thanks very much my friend.... Old F-4 Shoe🇺🇸

Please continue your updates on Dali. Highly appreciate the way you have covered the subject. Thank you.

Most of understand what your channel is about. I have never worked on any super yacht. I have worked on commercial boats in the oil industry, and I’ve owned a few, including a Nordhavn. Most of us understand where you are coming from. There will always be a know it that has done it longer and better despite the fact they have no idea or experience in the field. So not pay them any mind. Keep up the good work.

We are very pleased to see him focus on the Dali incident

Top US Ports... 1st East coast, ahead of Savanah. 3. Port of New York and New Jersey, New York. Baltimore is #11 US Love your channel!

Those KZreadrs are just trying to gain more views with their criticism toward your channel.

It is hard to ignore the trolling behavior of those who believe that to speak publicly, you need to be 100% correct, 100% of the time. What might be considered “required” is that you be honest, forthright, humble and have a high sense of integrity. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard you “proclaim” anything without qualification, or without a thorough analysis based on existing information and conditions. You are one of the few whose integrity is, in my view, superb. If you ever say anything that turns out to be incorrect, I believe it would never be for sensational reasons, or with ulterior motives, or ignorant arrogance. And I applaud you for that. 😊👍👍

🙋‍♂️THANKS ESYSMAN,WE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR EFFORTS TO BE HONEST AND OBJECTIVE AND HAVE NO PROBLEM MAKING CORRECTIONS WHEN THEY ARE APPROPRIATE 🤗💚💚💚

Thanks for covering Dali expertly.

I trust this channel. Honestly, I don't give shit about superyachts or the pathologically rich people who own them. But I am interested in sailing and maritime subjects. I find your coverage to be informed, objective and honest. I'm able to confirm a lot and learn a lot and I'll continue to enjoy the channel and trust you and your content.

And billionaire love people who study hard about everything ships related, they need more people to be their tools to be used, until they find a better tool.

As I've said multiple times but maybe not in the comments here, some people are miserable and their goal is to make everyone else miserable. I started liking your channel years ago because you were very knowledgeable about yachting and you didn't put out information without believing it to be true. On the rare occassions you post something incorrect, you openly post a correction. Your reports are better reporting than most "news channels". I've looked at several professional maritime channels about the MV Dali incident. They sometimes give more info but often have less, but I haven't seen any discrepancies in their reports verses yours. Keep up the great work.

I second all of the positive reactions in these comments! I Love your conciseness, factualness and integrity, your videos are awesome, thanks for keeping up this great work!

Your perspective is unique & you do immediately correct anything you have reported previously in error. Thanks for the hard work you & your team do for our entertainment & information. 👍🇨🇦🙏

When the head of the NTSB says " if I were.,." She means "do it because.," I would say this bridge had inadequate protection for the class of vessel using this waterway.

From Maryland press conference a couple days ago: removed 34 at that poit and need to remove a total of 178 containers from the Bow sectionof Dali mostly to make room to work to remove the portion of bridge resting on it. (and I assume remove any container with hazardous materials in them. Only once the ship will be brought back to port would the fate of remaining containers bedealt with.

Protecting the pylons should have been sorted out when constructed. Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊

I appreciate your coverage, even handed, knowledgeable and straight to the point. Thank you for your research and updates,

There's no need to address critics. We are here because we enjoy and appreciate your content and the effort you put into it. You should invite them to go elsewhere. Again, thanks for all you do.

its so obvious that ALL bridges should be check for protection. I wonder if there is an official in Baltimore that was asked to provide bridge protection but said no?

When the bridge was being built, the under 3,000 TEU. The MV Dali was 9,971, and it's not even half of what the largest in the world can hold. These bridges built 50 years ago weren't designed with massive ships in mind because they didn't exist.

I appreciate the briefing on the Dali, it’s a big story and your coverage has been good.

Love your content and I have no doubt about your integrity. Dead set there is nothing for you to apologise for. There will always be desktop experts who know more, at least in their minds they do.

The combined gross weight of a US semi truck is 80,000 lbs, or 40 tons. When you subtract the weight of the container, the trailer it rides on, and the tractor, they can carry 45,500lbs (a little over 20,000 kilograms). Train only ones can carry more, but they’d be overweight if you loaded them on trucks. You do NOT want to go overweight on US highways. The fines are pretty expensive.

Great news items today . Well documented and good editing.

In this tragedy of the Dali, I had the feeling on KZread are only a few different vids about this: Most repeat the comments on TV, then there is a large group are wiseguys without knowledge - and only a few people are trying their best to explain the background using their experience and real knowledge, like you. Maybe it is not the main content of this channel, but those who don't like this are not forced to watch it! I don't know anything about ships and the tech inside - but with your informations it was easy to understand what happend here. And so I have to give a huge thanks to you! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!

It’s amazing the hate out there….i love this channel . I think you guys do a great job !

That's the most polite way of telling someone to "do one" I've ever heard.

If the City of London can maintain a “risk register”, surely USA should maintain a register of critical infrastructure and the risk associated with the specific location.

I love your sense of humor :) Some have speculated that a mini-emp pulsed causing the electrical disruption. so now with the ship hitting a bridge in Ark/OH, and now in NY - all 3 having electrical disruptions, Investigators should be checking into an external reason for the loss of control.

you do a very good job reporting on these situations

Your technical appraisals are knowledgable and informative. Pity much of the rest of this click-bait rubbish on YT is not the same. Keep up the good work team.

Well said.

Interesting how Tradepoint Atlantic, located adjacent to the bridge, has quickly expanded its ability to import / export new and used trucks and cars. Port area is also being used as staging area for the removal of bridge parts for further salvage and recycling processes.

Honestly don't worry, it's worth referenceing other channels (there's several really good ones) and you did a great job.

i really enjoy your coverage of all marine news i find it interesting to hear different perspectives. i hope you will keep it up.

One of Sevenstar yacht transports ships - Mv Saamiagracht - is currently stuck in Baltimore. While they carry yachts on deck, the under deck cargo is usually giant rolls of paper, which is unloaded in South Locust Point, Baltimore.

You tell the truth and you have a lot of experiences and you put your best forward

Any criticism you got was undeserving. You do a great job with your coverage and always are good about qualifying your information. Whoever it was, needs to worry about themselves and not you. The fact that they would say anything negative just goes to show you the lack of professionalism on their response.

Hi your follow up story on the Dali was the best . As they say .My crystal ball can be a bit misty sometimes. Retired merchant navy engineer.

Hey up mate your channel is wonderful been watching for some years and was glad youse gave views on dali because i trust your information rather than a lot ov BS thats about these days, thanks for the good work

you do very well on the channel. The nitpickers and trolls multiply as your success. I'm an ex-Navy guy, and i see no fault. Good coverage. very good, actually.

Great presentations

For those people saying 'oh they only need to move a few containers from the front, then they can slide the ship out' - there are several hundred (thousand?) tons of concrete and steel from the bridge on the front of the ship, as can clearly be seen. The work to remove that and get the ship out needs careful planning and lots of experts in various fields need to give input. I'm not a shipping expert but I worked in Project Management for many years, so I know how much work an outwardly 'simple task' can take.

Keep it up we love the work that you do.

My experience on ships since 2007 is exclusively on the HMS KZread!

Thank you, E! I don't get this type of news anywhere else. A+ You do know what you're talking about. Idiots suck.

well, this bridge had dolphins too....though just two per thingy and pretty far out... seems like we don't have clearly defined regulations regarding protections... maybe it's more of an aesthetic finishing touch?

Haters are going to hate and name drop to try and get subs off your hard work. Ignore them! You are doing great. Hard to believe already watched 308 ST News Episodes. All of them were great along with your other content and channels.

Unfortunately got to roll with the comments. Hard to do at times I guess. Well done keep the reports coming

Such an important port and bridge yet apparently a lack of protection of the bridges one wonders if they are fit for purpose. Bridges with these monsters travelling through need equally monsterous protection these days

Thank you Sir for keeping us updated. I am a mechanical engineer so very much interested in knowing why engine failed. Mechanical systems are very reliable and do not collapse suddenly. many questions come to mind. 1. Why did the engine fail, 2. When the engine failed why did the captain not send Mayday because once the engine fails there is no control over sip, and ship is totally dependent on flow of water and wind flow. 3. Was the anchor dropped immediately? 4. Normally ships have emergency power and this is sufficient to steer ships. was it used? 5. Ship was taken on lease by Maersk. Why is there no comment from them. After all it is their responsibility also.

The Verrazzano-Narrows tower abutments are in no danger from anything nautical. Any vessel capable (weight and speed size) of taking down a tower would need considerably size wheels as it would be terminally grounded before inflicting any damage. Now, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is an altogether terrifying prospect. The towers are right out in the middle of the Bay and may as well have targets painted on them.

The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge tower abutments are facing waters that are over 45 feet deep and within 100 feet. Check a nautical chart. A 1,000 foot long heavily loaded ship moving at 10 knots would not be stopped in time to avoid destroying the pier leading the collapse of the entire suspended span.

If only the Bridge hadn't jumped out in front of our amazing Ship none of this would have happened!

Good reporting, eSysman, as usual. Also, Americans are worried about the state of the US infrastructure.

I would be surprised if there isn't more than 100 bridges in the USA that are not protected properly by Dolphins etc and that also have large ships passing under them. We cut costs by not including them and we may now find ourselves having to retrofit, at greater expense, those bridges that lack adequate protections.
