It's highly unlikely that I'll have an opportunity to see Egypt, so thanks for the awesome video. Incredible!

That Evergreen mural is nice and kind of funny. It’s almost like Egypt is mocking evergreen. Now every time the ship passes it will have to look at that mural. also I’m sure it was paid for with the massive fine they paid.

Have not yet sailed thru the canal but some years ago our cruise ship stopped at Alexandria then sailed to Port Said while a number of us drove to Cairo for an overnight trip. It was really cool when driving back to Port Said next to the canal to see ships on the canal that looked like they were sailing in the dessert. Thanks for that, and the commemoration of Evergreen's Evergiven stranding.

Thank you so much for taking time to make this comment. Yes I have been to all those places as well. Alexandria was awesome and inside the town at port Said is also pretty cool. CAIRO I also really like and of course. The pyramids and the museum of antiquities is amazing.

I love the music

The music service I use I was able to download some Egyptian music sounds.

thinking of my grandfather, who was sailing this very route back in 1914 when his (German) ship was impounded in Eritrea and he was interned until the end of WWI.

Very cool! Enjoying all of the new content lately. Im not sure if Maersk works with the union at all. Id imagine so, at least through some capacity. But id definitely like a turn on one of their bigger ships.

Have they improved the Suez pilot situation yet? Those guys seem to be screwing up a lot in the last couple of years. Is it because the shipping companies aren't paying the Suez pilots sufficient bribes?

@JeffOnboard

I believe the bribes are no longer example giving cigarettes etc.....So pathetic

what are those structures jutting out into the canal at 2:42?

structures that can be reassembled to create a pontoon bridge.

At about the 7.00 minute mark on the right side of the canal there were a group of structures any idea what the are?

Why anchor halfway through the canal? is there a reason?

Some areas the traffic is only one direction so the convoy was going northbound at that time.

It's the officially defined crossing procedure. There are various videos about people making canal runs in cargo ships including some Jeff has posted. There's a point where they have the north and south ships pass each other partway through and they send them through in predefined groupings using shift work scheduling to manage the insane flow of ships through some hairy narrow areas that require really accurate pilot / driver work.
