I don’t know Jack about shipping and this is among my favorite channels. Thanks so much for the insight!
I appreciate that!
me too, sal is bringing shipping news to the otherwise ignorant of shipping! great stuff!
Hey friend 🤣 my name is CLUELESS.. He makes it so understandable that’s why I’m here💜
.. This weekend and next great weekends for staged macro nonsense
... This is all being semi allowed in order to help with the looting class neo-malthusian globalist sociopathic move to a neo-feudal reset
Add another to the list of “ know nothing about shipping “ but this channel sure is helping me to learn about. Thank you Sal for your knowledge and willingness to share with us!
Sal is doing it correctly. Always make Coffee before you turn on the morning news. ;P
One also has to know where the origin of coffee came from.
where was it take t - when and by whom -
How long did take to propagate across what is now Europe.
Lol
No , not everyone understands MSC is Military Sealift Command and who knows whats on board delivered into the Houthis Hands...
@@acesupsilver1039 Very stupid of ship to pass through strait with weapons if thatbdid occur, or maybe they did this on purpose 🤔
@@acesupsilver1039 Aries is not USNS
News outlets can't hold a candle to your on-the-fly analysis. You are an asset to YT, in my humble opinion.
News outlets are generally paid by their advertisers to NOT provide analysis this deep.
@@indleftnews thats a dark thought.
That's because so called "news outlets" don't broadcast the news.....they push their agendas.
A treasure of information
News outlets are proven liars. $10,000,000 a year for a script reader? Think about that for a minute. Selective editing, out of context he said she said, "we can't show the speech" because you'll agree with what the person actually said etc.
Biden is egging on war for re-election. Sorry Ukraine, you're old news, maybe work on that neonazi problem.
Good morning Sal. Up until the bridge collapse recently I hadn't seen your channel. Now I'm addicted. You did a fantastic job sir.Thank you so much for making all this interesting content.
Thank you kindly
This guy knows his ship.
Welcome aboard should be the reply 🙂
Sounds like Iran wants the US Navy to put the other half of their navy on the bottom of the ocean. 😂
@@MyMomSaysImKeenthanks I needed that laugh
It is an interesting play by Iran in response to the attacks on it's Embassy and the 12 dead. It is not an escalation with deaths, and was not an attack on Israeli territory or US bases.
It's a really shippy situation.
It's actually smart. The coddled in the West will not get riled up if few billionaires lose money on shipping. Unlike if Iran attacks ground facilities - much easier for the media to whip up the emotions.
The day is still early.
Them Chinese drone s are real inexpensive. An aircraft carrier is really exspencive??
they just sent missiles, it's a clear escalation.
Iran is more rational than Israel or the US
“This business will get out of control.
It’ll get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
Free Palestine. End of story.
That's a pretty appropriate quote.
@@1MrAngel1No. Satisfied?
Israel attacks Iran unprovoked. Now they want to squeal when Iran responds.
one of the best delivered lines in movie history. I love Fred's interpretation of that role
I'm waiting for 200 years from now when Sal starts his "What's Going on With Starshipping" channel.

Just the facts, ma'am... No bs, no filler, no muss no fuss... Thanks for another great video! I, myself, love your longer form videos... Feel free to stretch 'em out! ;)
I agree
I also appreciate the fact that he leaves his politics out of it.
That used to be the rule for journalists now it's the exception.
It took the Key Bridge collapse for me to find you and it has been an extremely enlightening and informative site. Keep up your highly professional work! 👍
If you have the time, go back through his catalog, there's a tremendous amount of information which gives perspective on what's going on right now.
Who would have thought maritime news "could" be interesting hasn't listened to Sal and WGOWS yet. Sal "MAKES" the subject worth listening to. Thanks for your worthy efforts!
I was a big fan of the Military Sealift Command when I was active duty navy. I was going to go to school to be a radio officer and make millions as a civilian MSC crewman after leaving the navy. Uh, nope. Got married instead. I'm tellin' you, women mess up EVERYTHING!! Now with all the problems civilian shipping is seeing, I really am glad my plans changed. I said that to add the humor and nice day you originally wanted, Dr. Sal. Not much I know ... but it's the best I can do. Thanks so much for your videos.
oh boy, when you think it can not get worse it finds a whole new lower level
North Korean pirate submarines in 10... 9...
Plot twist: They turn up on the other side of the Panama Canal. Staffed by Argentinians.
Izzy thinks it can assassinate Iranians and murder tens of thousands of Gazans whilst leveling an entire city and think there will not be consequences? Sadly the US is underwriting and giving UN cover to whatever Izzy chooses to do. I’m not saying either side is right or wrong, just saying actions have consequences. Better buckle-up.
I wasn’t planning on drinking this early but here comes Sal and his Bab el Mandab game! 😝
I"m Yemeni and I don't understand why he do this every time < also the means of Bab Al Mandab in Arabic is Bab = door .. Al Mandab from Nadb which means = Crying for the dead ,,, And when he drinks, it's like he's celebrating hahahah
Thanks Sal!!!
Oil going up! Inflation going up! Shipping cost going up and the most important thing FOOD!!!
Going to get nasty out there this year.
Now to work on my 🌱🪴🌾 garden and get ready!

@@mycellphone4437earth worms my friend.
This weekend and next are ripe for invited flags and false flags...
Gardening, hmmm..sounds like a plan 😀
Don’t forget the record corporate profits!
It really is great to have channels like this. So much is happening in the world and we only get one view (news).This provides so much insight having someone who understands an industry quite well. No extra paranoia added, just what the disruptions are, possibilities and updates. Way better than what you see on the MSM.
Comparing the info-dense content of your channel regarding these events to what I get from the more conventional news sources makes me think I don't know 95% of what's actually going on in other areas of news. Thanks for your efforts in making these videos, it's greatly appreciated.
Your channel is one of my favorites. I have no links to shipping but know supply chains are under attack. I also know main stream media has no clue and are actively avoiding the topic. You do a fantastic job presenting the facts and you keep it from getting way too heavy (shipping pun for you). Thanks for your work!!
It surprised me that he can pronoun-ce IRAN correctly -
as most North Americans are uneducated - arrogant and unwilling to learn
It is NOT pronounced eye-ran it is pronounced eRan - like eBay
The letter I is a phonetic e
and E is a phonetc Eh az in Echo - Empire - Educate Epilepsy Enable
The problem iz that English is a corrupt inconsistent language - with an
n abstract alphabet that has no relationship whatsoever to the spoken word

Hey Sal. Great video as always. As a greek merchant mariner i would love to see a video from you discussing the Greek shipowners and worldwide interractions(with the US, sanctions, Dark fleet, Ship to ship, etc) and especially on tanker vessels.
Yes, good call, Greece has both a light and a dark side in shipping matters, a very complicated affair with some very interesting characters.
The best shipping and sipping channel on the net!
ship and sip happens !
Not like I go searching for such channels, but there cant be too many.
@@Carlos-im3hn ...Baaaaaaaab el Mandeb.....Glug!... 😂
I hope the crew is safe.
I'm no fan of Israel, but I agree with you.
Odds aren't good though, sadly
@@UmaROMC lol. The crew is likely not Israeli, neither is 100% of the ownership.
The galaxy leader crew of 0 Israelis is still held by the houthis yet nobody seems to care.
Iran has every reason to treat them well and return them to their trade asap.
Remember to send your prayers!
@@user-th3bo2yp1t most likely the crews are filipino or Indonesian
We have an Import/export company of fresh produce. We usually use MAERSK. These are Crazy times in shipping! Is the Cruise Industry in peril too? Thank you for your updates!
Thanks for the great update Sal!
With Iran attacking Israel hours after this it was a very busy Saturday, Pyotr has been covering it from the beginning on X, thank you for sharing your time and work Sal, look forward to the podcast when you cover all those items you opened with, peace
thanks for posting these detailed URLs !
Thank you for the update
I love how good you're getting at winging it brother. I can tell, no major prep or nothing. We just going live with news 😂you sound great. From a former 19D Cabbie scout in the army, you've grown both my naval and commercial knowledge on shipping. I appreciate it.
I would not say no prep as I follow shipping closely so the context to an event like this is what I study.
@@wgowshipping yeah I mean...the ability to come on pretty much free hand. 😂 I know a lot of people that need a hour or two to get all ducks in a row and etc. But I think you have enough base knowledge that the details of the events are gonna be only thing you don't see coming.
@@wgowshipping…future…Revelation 18:17
“For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,”

@@wgowshipping having an extensive knowledge base certainly helps.
When you know your ship, you don't need a script.
Love hearing these updates from you even if I don't like the news. glad to have you as a resource Saul.
Absolutely love your coverage of what is happening.❤
Thanks 🙏 Sal's channel is addictive!
well, looks that wrecking the embassy annex is going to cost some people a lot of money....who would have thought that the vienna convention has some real financial implications??? ;)
It's all connected. Iran and Russia provide aid, weapons, and training to the various terrorist organizations aligned with them. This is a religious war, and the world is smack dab in the middle.
Vienna Convention is about the status of diplomats. Israel attacked a military base housing several leaders of their colonial troops. Depending on your definition, they are Iranian army soldiers or terrorists. Both are legit military targets working for a regime that declared war on Israel late last year.
@@nvelsen1975 Iran hasnt declared war or directly attacked. Israel attacked an embassy not a military base. And if you didnt know this Iran works with the governments in Syria and Iraq to fight the IS, the real terrorists.
@@nvelsen1975 does that apply to all embassies housing military and intelligence people? are you serious about this? because i know whats sitting around in US embassies, and many others. this can of worms should not have been opened for the good of everyone involved. but the response will be asymmetric. and i can see who has the advantage when the rules are out the window....its not the ones throwing out the rules....
@@simonschneider5913 Typical military and intel people are a different category -- Quds absolutely are terrorists, the Geneva Convention does NOT protect them.
Great update, many thanks Sal.
Hi Sal. Congrats on your speech the other day in Boston. Th as njs fir keeping us posted. Tfs.
Time for the Portuguese to reclaim their naval heritage!
With british assistance if needed.
@@davidty2006rusty boats aren't gonna do it champ
Portuguese? Lmao. Five frigates with only a dated point defence SAM won't accomplish much dude.
Europeans will invade Portugal before they can invade Iran or any other Middle east country.....Europeans fear arming each other compared to invading foreign countries.
The Carthaginians wouldn't have allowed such shenanigans to carry on like this.
In relation to piracy: I'm holdin out for a letter of Marque & Reprisal. If anyone with the capacity to pay me fairly for any legal prizes I may have the capacity to seize wants to get in touch.
Always informative and entertaining. Thank you for doing what you do!
Thank you. Keep up the great reporting.
Great Intro!
Thank you sal, found you recently and you’re quickly becoming my favorite channel!
Great presentation. Thank you!
Fantastic ship-post at the beginning of the episode, Sal. ❤
Thanks for another great video! I look here before turning on our usual media outlets for world news, it's to the point and factual without the political b.s. spin...I echo others in that we like the longer videos, feel free to stretch them out! Thanks, Sal
Maybe you should watch PBS Newshour
I have learned a great deal about shipping on this channel, always enlightening ... thx
Thank you for all of your contributions to global shipping news.
Love your channel, Sal !
Love the intro
got my coffee for the BA-M references.
Thanks for the update!
thank you for keeping us updated on this mess!
Lets just discuss the one million barrels of Iranian oil that was seized recently. Nothing on that?
Well, it was not Iranian oil, but illegally trafficked oil of the Quds Force, a terrorist group which Iran formally denies is part of their military. Even though obviously it is part of Iran's colonial armies and that oil was trafficked to fund Iranian global terrorism.
Iran can't exactly own up to it being theirs as a result, even though the US mentioned them by name. On top of that Iran disguised it through shell companies in Turkey and Oman. So it's not Iranian by any legal definition.
Exactly
No no They oy update when its convenient against the brics Nations!! Pure hypocrisy out of USA and its allies propaganda at its best!!
ty for some of the most important news in the world most folks have no idea how much stuff moves on ships
My dad hadn’t heard about the Yorktown attack. He watches the news 24/7. Great work as always sir!
Great presentation as always.
just as i was thinking about how quiet the houthi’s have been
They started attacking their sponsors, the Russians and the Chinese.
Not quiet. Just no one allowed to report it anymore
yeah i'd check that tinfoil hat if i was you.
@@blafonovision4342 you little miserable lying bot, how´s your life treating you, lol?
They haven't been that quiet -- US and RN ships are still intercepting drones and missiles practically every day. None of them have been getting through, and admittedly that's partly because the volume of attacks has been lower lately, but it has rarely been zero (only two days without recorded attacks since the whole thing began, if I'm not mistaken).
How is this not the number 1 story in the US news??? This is a big deal.
The lobbyists just give you what they want you to hear😊😊
The ONLY thing our disinformation traitors in the MSM want to report on is anything which would prevent Trump from defeating High Treason Biden and the hoards of treasonous democrats.
Thank you for a great report!
Hi Sal! I can't say I exactly 'enjoyed' the video, but I am VERY grateful for your videos, you are amazing! Stay strong, we need you!
Profiteering is up you say !
Aarrrrrr, shivers me timbers...
Oh, wait until you find out, historically, who ran piracy, lol.
@@l337pwnage
Oh, 3/4 of the royal navy galions wouldn't have been built , had it not been for profiteering.
The queen was kind 😏
@@l337pwnage
Historically, everybody ran piracy. Amsterdam only joined the Dutch cause after William of Orange had a bajillion pillaged out of Spanish-loyal Amsterdam ships, mainly in the East Sea grain trade.
@@l337pwnage I can't wait to find out the individual or nation that has "ran piracy" for the entirety of human history all across the globe, please enlighten me.
@@nvelsen1975 Oh, you both inadvertently hit on my next point, which is fine. Nations funded them, just like they do today.
I was referring to the pirates themselves, but that's ok, you both at least have some idea what is going on.
SAL IS FAST
Love the opening.. and your video angle is A1!!! Keep it up...
My new favorite channel. Thank you for a great channel.
Good intro! 😂
thank you Sal, for this very informative video...
Appreciate your objectivity!
Sal is so much fun!
But we all knew ww3 was gonna pop off this weekend
I'm coveting that Lego globe you've got there.
For some reason, the "news" seems to be ignoring this. I believe I only saw this on the internet.
Thank you.
Holy ship
5:46 Just a small point The EU does not have naval forces. The independent countries within the EU may have naval resources (and, outside of the EU, the UK certainly does), but not the EU.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Maritime_Force
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Atalanta
@@mrfeicco I think that what youare having difficulty with is the difference between "European" and "EU". Are you American?
@@JimWhitaker "In late 2008, the Council of the European Union adopted Joint Action 2008/851/CFSP, based on various UN resolutions, to establish the executive Common Security and Defense Policy (EU CSDP) - Operation ATALANTA and contribute to the deterrence, prevention and repression of acts of piracy and armed robbery off the Somali coast. Over time, the mandate of EUNAVFOR has been adapted to reflect the evolving situation at sea and the increased presence of the International Community in Somalia in order to become the Operation in a Maritime Security Provider in the North Western Indian Ocean."
I am really not getting your point. Yes i am USA. But like it is in the literal language that it is called the EUNAVFOR that comprises this... and it was formed... by the EU.
But okay i guess I cant read European.
You are cool dude😂.. 😎 the enthusiasm & lil humor with alota facts/ updates is just great media for all of us. Thanks man.
Sal, you are awesome 👏🏾 i’m so glad I found your podcast.

That into went hard, appreciate your insight as always, Sal.
Ship Happens - Cap'n! I think I see an epic channel T-shirt on the horizon sir!
what would be the effect if ships/shipping lines/groups started boycotting this area of the world?
They’re already streaming around the Horn.
Ban the mideast altogether. No trade. No weapons
wonder if it'll reach a point that oman would become a huge oil terminal...
Though if that was going to happen it surely would of been done by now..
Rather hard to boycott one of the World trade hubs?
@@earthsystem I was refering to the Strait of Hormuz - also last number of year other ports and railway lines have been upgraded to by pass the Strait of Hormuz
Great opening Sal!😊
Great analysis & summary.
If the capture of the MV Aries is Iran's response to the attack by Israel on the Iranian embassy that killed people I'd say Iran is showing a great deal of restraint in response to an outrage.
It's not. Iran said it will use drones and missiles to retaliate
Proxy war expanding
What else could Iran do? They know they can't afford an all-out war with Israel, so they can only do something that doesn't force Israel to take off the gloves.
@@evinwhiteson4902 A bit of wishful thinking on my part? This does not look good. Two vital choke-points potentially controlled by people who don't like us very much. And that might not be the worst part of the whole thing.

If the world is not upside down!🇺🇸
As a seaman, I'm so disgusted that my fellow brothers are paying the price for incompetence of international politics. We work for all the people in this world. We sacrifice our lives for this job, which is in most cases unbelievably underpaid, we have to battle the sea, the weather, pirates, and now also governments...
Have you been into the Persian Gulf? Is there a seafarer's union? How many languages can you understand?
@@andywomack3414 @andywomack3414 Yes, many times. There is a union, ITF, but it benefits only the poorest, so seafarers from really poor countries, at least everyone gets a proper bed, meal and minimum salary (about 700$). I can speak 4 languages...
@@captainbontekoe6752 Thanks for that.
I subscribed awhile back due to Peter Zeihan talks, but only occasionally viewed. Who knew your posts would be my go-to news outlet.
I've been watching you since the world actually got interesting a very few years ago. A lot of ship is happening, good thing we have you to sort it out.
All part of the not so great reset.
Qannon said what?
But the US regularly boards and seizes ships in international waters; does that mean other nations cannot?
Rules for thee, but not for ((me))
For how long does the US seize ships? The Galaxy Leader has been seized for 5 months now.
@@friedrichrubinstein2346Did the US release the Suez Rajan before the matter was finished? No they didn't. And the ethnic cleansing by the self proclaimed apartheid state is still going on.
So why would they release it?
Like it wouldn't be logical for the US to release the Suez Rajan before the verdict, and payment of the fine. Hence they didn't.
@@NotASeriousMoose The Suez Rajan violated US law, hence there was a trial, fine and release. Neither Iran nor Yemen have any laws that would justify the seizure of the Galaxy Leader, and there isn't even a trial.
The buzzwords of "ethnic cleansing" and "apartheid state" in your comment tell me though that you have no interest in reasonable discussions or anything that resembles reality.
Great introduction mate👍🏻✌🏻
As a former merchant marine I found your channel interesting . And in short order the shit has hit the fan ! Great job thanks again from old New Orleans 😎
If the ship was connected to Israel, good for Iran. This is not piracy, it's peace keeping. In my opinion based on history, the Iranians will treat the crew well. This is not about them. It's about Israels attack on Iran.
Lol "Israel's attack on iran". Did you not read the news that Israel was attacked by Iran by a bunch of missiles and suicide UAVs? Or are you one of those pro-palestine people
The building hit in Damascus was not a "diplomatic" building. It was next to the Iranian embassy but it was not a designated diplomatic facility. Only they media have made the claim it was diplomatic, not even Iran has made that claim. Careful picking up the lies of the "professional" news media.
Incorrect
