Dr. Sal: As a 74-yr old lifelong learner I really appreciate your YouTube short courses on international maritime shipping issues. Informative. Objective. Nice job. Keep up the good work!

I am picturing the Comoros flag-registry bureau as one sweaty guy in an office overlooking the harbor, with no glass in the windows, a laptop, and an enormous bank account in a third-party country.

I don't know why your uploads first appeared in my YouTube suggestions but I am absorbed and fascinated by every one, look forward to each new upload, and I previously knew nothing about shipping and have no connection with it.

Thank you for explaining the Baltic passage (DK and DK/SE) since it is a long, and hard, thing to explain to an international audience why we are so "weak" on controlling the straights (DK/DK/SE) when it seems so easy to others to be able to control the traffic - like for e g blocking RU shipping or shadow fleet activities. It is not the physical layout of the exit of the Baltic sea that is the real problem - that is obviously easy to control...But we also follow "the rules" set up and we're too small to try to change them. <br>/Swede living by the DK/SE strait<br>(love this guy's videos)

I find this channel so interesting.... though it's so specialized... Global shipping just has huge impacts on so many things... (Like everything).

Thank you Dr. Sal! YOU ARE the best maritime channel in my humble opinion: combination of pacing, accuracy, personality and referance sourcing (e.g. expertise and background). Here's a contribution to your LEGO Globe red tile fund, in case all heck breaks out by June and only the oligarchs have toasters, microwaves, automobiles and chips [of any type] by then. 😂😮

The false news is tiring. Listening to you enlightens us, a little truth goes a long way, thank you.

A true joy to listen to a genuine expert who knows their stuff, rather than "alternative facts" and taliking points. <3

As a former economist who worked with international trade and supply chain issues on a very abstract level, I like to keep up with what’s going on. Your channel is an invaluable perspective to keep me grounded in the reality of what is actually happening , since people in the more abstract side of it can get carried away with their theories and speculation. Thank you.
