Maersk is now reporting that a salvage tug has sailed...from Europe (they had originally reported Mexico)!

@JLT1187

Sal's phasing in and out of existance and still manages to update us on ships. Thanks!

Back in the 90's I did a ship rescue from NY Harbor. A ships rudder had fallen off and Moran dispatched the M Moran to go tow it back to NY. I was an AB deck hand at the time. So we went to West Marine and bought a GPS hooked it up and headed for someplace around 4-500 miles west of the Azores. When we finally caught up with it using a single side band radio and our new GPS, It was absolutely beautiful. Not a sea over two feet since leaving NY. As soon as we got the wire on it. It started to blow a hell gale. Almost all the way back we took a beating. The CE an Irishman had to change a powerpac on one of the main EMD engines. How he did it is still a mystery to me, and I was even assisting him. He has since passed and was a very good friend of mine. I haven't thought about that trip in years. Moran doesn't even do ship rescues anymore. I hope everyone is ok on the Maersk ship.

I enjoy your show so much, Sal. πŸ₯° Even when it's awful news, you're an innately joyful person and spread joy without half trying. Thank you! [Edit: I'm not a Bot like the ones below.] ⬇️

@Craig-wp3pz

Decided it wasn't important til Sal said so! πŸ˜… u didn't disappoint, cheers πŸ‘

@maxrebo1141

Hope the weather is kind to those mariners!!

@kristinen7611

So do we get to keep the contents in the containers since we rescued the ship?

@overwatch2671

Thanks for the update, professor.   Now i now where my tennis shoes are

@Pompomgrenade

Sal, you're always ahead of the game 🏁

@Zak6959

That’s gonna be one heck of a tug specially out in the ocean. Wonder if it is similar to the ones they use for towing around oil platforms?

@volvo245

What exactly blew up? Oil mist in the main engine crank case? Electrical? Sabotage?

@Ixonyard

Is he filming this in a engine room? That hum in the backgroung is something else.

@mateozhou

I always wondered what Hank Shrader did in his free time

@george2113

That must be a very powerful tug.

@PlanetFrosty

Extra mileage charges likely applied to cargo?

@DarrellLancaster-l5q

Great news show. Thanks

@essiebessie661

Poor workers! I expect Maersk will take good care of the injured..

@johnvogt5847

Glad no fatalities.  Hope their rescue is as uneventful as possible.

@Rasscasse

Thanks Sal

@peted5217

The lack of urgency suggests little concern for ship and contents. Hoping for loss settlements ?
