Suez Canal Timelapse | Life at Sea on a Container Ship

Join me as we transit through the Panama Canal from the North-East side to the South-West. An interesting vlog on how an XDF LNG carrier transits through the newly expanded Panama Canal.Find out its history and which vessel and Captain transited the Canal on its opening day on the 15th of August 1914.The interaction with the Pilot Captain Arnulfo Cepetno who assist me on transit the Cocoli locks.

Enjoy the footage and soon I hope to be back to work again. Waiting for the results of my physical exams to clear.

When a ship needs to enter or leave a harbor, marine pilots are sent aboard via a small pilot boat to safely...

An innovative approach to marine pilotage recruitment and training has increased the breadth of skills and knowledge in our marine team and set us up for the long term.
