@Hammerschlägen M the Expanded Canal (the one in this video) was designed and built by Panamanians. The Americans designed and built the original smaller one which was inaugurated in 1914. Regards.

As someone who will never in their lifetime be able to experience the human ingenuity that is the Panama Canal, thank you so much for this! It's so much better than seeing four photos of it in a textbook.
I've posted this before. I work in Neurology and perform painless EEG tests on kids. I show the autistic kids your videos and they get caught up watching so I can perform the test without them resisting. A recent patient wants to be a helmsman now thanks to you and Saturn!
I was the Construction Manager on the Cocoli Locks for the Panama Canal Authority for 5.5 years from 2009 thru 2014 and it still amazes me. It was a tough build but what an experience! Congrates to all involved with the build.
Iv'e said this before & I'll say it again, you missed your calling dude, your video editing skills are unreal. If you ever need something to fall back on i'd look into a career in that. Anytime I see you made a video i drop what i'm doing to watch.
Loved this video!❤️ Stay safe mate! Btw: I'm Panamanian and I love every time I see this marvel of engineering in videos from people all over the world, visiting our little beautiful piece of land😍
I am old enough to remember when some Americans were angry when President Carter turn the canal over to Panama.They were talking as if Panamanians were not competent enough to run the canal. Looks like they are doing just fine, and have been all along.
Jorge, I lived in Panama, in the Canal Zone. I have 2 younger sisters who were born there. I visited last in 2006. It's still a beautiful country with beautiful people. I have many wonderful memories from there. Best wishes and be safe!
They only removed earth to navigate through the mountains passes. Once they built a dam, they flooded the low-laying areas. They didn't remove earth to make a lake.
Clarification: Ships travel north/south between the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Twenty years ago my brother and I did a partial canal transit aboard a cruise ship. After anchoring in Gatun Lake, we disembarked to tour the older locks with operating "steam donkeys" instead of tugs and also swim in the lake too. It was an experience I'll never forget!
To think my grandfather had to traverse the Tierra del Fuego when he was in the Merchant Marine over a hundred years ago--it took weeks to get from the Pacific to the Atlantic and it took you about half a day. Human ingenuity is amazing.
This is something people don't usually get to see. It's nice to see all work you guys do and makes me appreciate your work to keep the global economy moving. Hope to see more videos from you soon!
I had am accident last year and ever since after that I was not able to get back into sailing. Watching this give me pure joy and brings back the good old memories of being a sailor. Stay safe and have fun at work Jeff

Dude, this is great, the algorithm randomly recommended a video of yours to me (red sea to Hong Kong time lapse), and now I'm here. Who knew that youtube would enjoy videos about big ship sailing the high seas
Ur videos re being used in our Clg for STCW courses Nd also for the subject cargo work(container lashing) etc. Thnk u for making this type of informative videos. Be safe sir during this covid19 situation.
JeffHK is one of the few channels that, when a new video shows up, I immediately stop everything, put the computer in full screen, and enjoy the video.
This is one of few contents most other people can't copy. You created your own genre and you are practically dominating it while you are doing and earning from the two nice jobs. Damn...that's so nice.
welcome back jeff, good to see new content from your channel. really interesting to see your adventures at sea while most of us are still stuck at home. all the best from Ph!
Great video. My father grew up as a young boy on the Pacific side of the canal, and used to watch boats going through it. I never got a chance to visit it while he was alive, and this is the next best thing. Thanks!
Man I really love your videos, they give me a look at the career that im into! I'm at first year of Argentinian Merchant Navy School. Thanks a lot for your videos. Greetings from Argentina.
Nice description of a passage through the new lane of the Panama Canal. Really enjoyed the video and the memories from my previous passages of both the old and new locks.
I absolutely love your use of time-lapse imaging with your narration. It's educational and fun to watch artistically; a rare quality in TH-cam vids these days. :)
Never thought about the insane engineering behind this! A Container Ship literally scaling up, across, and back down a mountain, all within a span of 24 hours!! Really cool!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE timelapse. Your service, in our global society, is absolutely essential. People often forget this. You keep sharing --- we will all keep watching. You missed your calling as a Hollywood producer !!!!!! Great job.
It's funny that I was just thinking of you yesterday and wondering when your next video would be out. You should win some kind of award for this short documentary of the Panama Canal as well as your other videos. Thanks for the most interesting videos on TH-cam!! 👍👍
Wonderful video. Look forward to complete time lapse of trip. We transited same direction west to east back in the 90's. We were on a Crystal Cruise trip, had come down west side of Mexico, and then transited across southern Caribbean with stops on many islands. Hired a car on Aruba and drove with friends around the entire perimeter of the island. Good times. The transit thru the canal was fascinating. A real marvel of engineering. I remember they had a viewing stand where public can sit and watch ships transiting at some point along the way, I think at the western end. Maybe we will see that in the unedited time lapse.
Thanks for the wonderful video. In the 70's, I have a chance to work on OOCL's container ship, later I decided to work on a new OBO ship instead, sailing between Japan and Australia. Life on the OBO (we only carried ore, not crude oil) was less stressful than working on a containership. I have never had a chance to go thru Suez or Panama canal. Thanks for the video and at least I can experience the fun of sailing thru the canal by watching your video. Cheers!
Man you are the best merchant ship youtuber out there Btw I was waiting for your video for a long time and I love your videos and have you ever come to india cuz I am from there 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Jeff, Thank you. I am from Panama, I always like to show my students more about the Panama Canal. You video has great details about the actual process. I like the way you showed a little bit about the history and maps so the students can appreciate more the distance etc. Thanks for sharing/Gracias por compartir!
HI FILIPINO HERE im sure there's a lot of filipino with you there shout out to those filipino seaman..... let them know im pinoy in hong kong... thank you so much... nice timelapse i like it... stay safe all of you there....
Hello Jeff, your content is incredible, thank you so much for sharing. I get to see stuff i could never imagine since i'm a land rat. You gave me a new perspective with every video you upload, and i am amazed for everything you do did and done so far. I hope you continue your path and stay healthy. Thank you! I love it! Your swiss friend, Roman :)
Jeff, loved this! I grew up in Panama, and have 2 sisters who were born there (when there was the Canal Zone, Panama). Gatun Lake is about 85 feet above sea level, so that's why the locks were made to bring you up to the lake, and the back down to sea level. Not sure if you're aware, but Panama has been having a problem with some water shortages, and also deforestation problems. The government is trying to address these issues.
Great video, as always. These are giving a great insight on how the world of shipping actually works. And nice to see Norwegian Star at the lake, we've worked on that ship in a dry dock a couple of years back.
Yeheey! 💛 thanks for uploading new video JeffHK looking forward so soon for your Captain License 😍 always here to support your vlogs and future endeavor chief ✌
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy these videos. Not only are they beautiful but they’re incredibly entertaining and so informative and interesting. I love every new video!!
Wow, it seems like there is a whole filming crew doing all these different shots and angles, incredible that this is done by only one man! Great stuff. Keep it up!
Good to see you back after a long time..I really love to watch ur videos..and guess what soon I'll be joining my first ship..been stuck in dubai since this lockdown started..fingers crossed.
Thank you for the video of the new Panama Canal. I went through the older canal back in 1969 while on the USS Galveston CLG-3, traveling from San Diego to the Med and back again. Since Lake Gatun is fresh water we did a test of our chemical and biological wash down systems. I’m surprised they don’t have the Mules that are on the old canal. One fond memory is the night before we traversed the canal. We had liberty in the Enlisted Mans Club, what a rip roaring time we had there. Now that is another story all together. Take care and stay healthy
Jeff did a video early on about COVID 19 - interesting and informative. His video is actually why I started taking my temperature daily early on before it was required by my company in the U.S.
The end of this video and all of your videos with the night sky, I see all the stars and it makes me want to weep. It’s so beautiful. I wish I could see it in person from this view.
Imagine working at the Panama Canal and every day, having huge ships come rolling through, nearly and sometimes scraping the side, while you just watch, waiting for the command to move your tugboat forward
8:30 holy cow, I didn't realise how big your container ship was until I saw you looking down on that massive cruise liner as it went past! Great channel!
So happy to see you check in with another vid Jeff! It's been a while! I watched this with my sister who was visiting but didn't get to pay much attention to detail so had to watch it again! Happy travels!
@@JeffHK It's good the recharge the batteries from time to time. Some people (mistakenly) think you just sit around all day waiting for something to film, and PRESTO! out comes a video. But it's a LOT more work than that. I can relate. I made a living as a professional photographer for over a decade - and it was WORK! Fun? Oh yeah, there was fun. But there's a lot of hard work that goes into it - your brain gets tired! Been there, done that, got the t-shirt! So Jeff, do what you need to do to keep up the great content. We appreciate it! A lot! Fair Winds, following seas my friend.
I did 6 transits in the mid 80's. Worked as a deckhand on a 150 foot adventure cruise boat...(ship?) We took passengers to the sunny islands on the Atlantic side and the jungles of the southern pacific side. Passengers would take the indigenous travel methods. Dugouts mostly. An incredible experience! I touched the canal walls each way!

Thank you for always incredible vlogs. I crossed the canal once 40 years ago. It was Gatun Lake that made me feel "I'm in a tropical forest". Rain and low hanging clouds on the forest were so impressive that I clearly remember the scenes even now.
i cant believe the Panama canal was bigger than that I learned. Its such a masterpiece to look at but a reminder that the canal took thousands of people to build, which many of them died.
Maritime law is very confusing. Within 12 miles of said country all persons on board the vessel must abide by said countries law. When outside of territorial waters (12 miles) the crew must abide by whatever country their ship is registered in. WendoverProductions did a good vid on it.
It's so interesting how you take on different pilots at different places to facilitate communication and operations as you pass through the locks, come into harbors, etc. The part where you go through the mountains is amazing too!
Incredible!
Your job is one of the most essentials in our globalized society and people often forget it. Thanks for sharing your adventures. 👍
My pleasure!
I agree. Especially here in Britain if we didn't have container ships then we'd be pretty screwed.

Who knew that youtube would enjoy videos about big ship sailing the high seas
as I live in a big USA city---the images of the night time stars are astounding to me , never get to see that !
I live in rural Montana with no light pollution and I am STILL amazed!

I really did just read about Panama Canal yesterday and here comes a video of it! The sun and the moon aligned and made this happen!
Thank you for these amazing insights of the cargo world!
Wow, it seems like there is a whole filming crew doing all these different shots and angles, incredible that this is done by only one man! Great stuff. Keep it up!
Brilliant Video Jeff- answered many of my thoughts and wonders about the canals
Good to see you back after a long time..I really love to watch ur videos..and guess what soon I'll be joining my first ship..been stuck in dubai since this lockdown started..fingers crossed.
As usually, amazing video OOW Jeff :)
Keep them coming, Thanks!
Fair winds and following seas!
Thank you for the video of the new Panama Canal. I went through the older canal back in 1969 while on the USS Galveston CLG-3, traveling from San Diego to the Med and back again. Since Lake Gatun is fresh water we did a test of our chemical and biological wash down systems. I’m surprised they don’t have the Mules that are on the old canal. One fond memory is the night before we traversed the canal. We had liberty in the Enlisted Mans Club, what a rip roaring time we had there. Now that is another story all together.
Take care and stay healthy
Heard it's pretty rough out there for sailors during corona times. Stay safe my dude
It sure is
Jeff did a video early on about COVID 19 - interesting and informative. His video is actually why I started taking my temperature daily early on before it was required by my company in the U.S.
The end of this video and all of your videos with the night sky, I see all the stars and it makes me want to weep. It’s so beautiful. I wish I could see it in person from this view.
Imagine working at the Panama Canal and every day, having huge ships come rolling through, nearly and sometimes scraping the side, while you just watch, waiting for the command to move your tugboat forward
8:30 holy cow, I didn't realise how big your container ship was until I saw you looking down on that massive cruise liner as it went past! Great channel!
A Fantastic video Jeff. I was wondering how you were getting on during the global pandemic. Looking forward to next week. Cheers
So happy to see you check in with another vid Jeff! It's been a while! I watched this with my sister who was visiting but didn't get to pay much attention to detail so had to watch it again! Happy travels!
Huge fan of the time lapse footage. Some interesting stuff today too such as monkey island, thanks!
Hey Jeff i am glad you posted, been waiting this for a long time
Dude I was eagerly waiting for a new video. Were you on the ship all this time or has the voyage resumed recently?
All these time aha, were just going through creative drought
@@JeffHK It's good the recharge the batteries from time to time. Some people (mistakenly) think you just sit around all day waiting for something to film, and PRESTO! out comes a video. But it's a LOT more work than that. I can relate. I made a living as a professional photographer for over a decade - and it was WORK! Fun? Oh yeah, there was fun. But there's a lot of hard work that goes into it - your brain gets tired! Been there, done that, got the t-shirt!
So Jeff, do what you need to do to keep up the great content. We appreciate it! A lot!
Fair Winds, following seas my friend.
I did 6 transits in the mid 80's. Worked as a deckhand on a 150 foot adventure cruise boat...(ship?)
We took passengers to the sunny islands on the Atlantic side and the jungles of the southern pacific side. Passengers would take the indigenous travel methods. Dugouts mostly.
An incredible experience! I touched the canal walls each way!
Love from India
Jeff
Keep moving....❤️
I love all your videos since first time I saw it on TH-cam.. 😍
This world of shipping is so cool

Man, I missed your videos! so glad to see the notification
Great video. Very interesting. 👌

Sir jeff? Do you have a filipino crew onboard?
I really like your time lapse videos. Look forward to the one of the trip through the canal
After a long time, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ missed u
Thank you for always incredible vlogs. I crossed the canal once 40 years ago. It was Gatun Lake that made me feel "I'm in a tropical forest". Rain and low hanging clouds on the forest were so impressive that I clearly remember the scenes even now.
The Casey Neistat of the ocean🤗
aalexistasia So true , So true
Because both have great content
What does Casey neistat have to do with a massive container ship going through a miracle of human engineering?
Your videos are pure quality! Feels like a lifetime since I watched a new video of yours!
That’s really interesting- thanks for the perstpective!
We have missed you Jeff!!! Glad you are well !!!
Love it.... the hand on lens cap transition is a little much though, for every transition. Maybe just 1 per video
i cant believe the Panama canal was bigger than that I learned. Its such a masterpiece to look at but a reminder that the canal took thousands of people to build, which many of them died.
Can you do a video on which countries laws you have to abide by at sea? Eg: if your near the US, do you have to follow US law or?
Maritime law is very confusing. Within 12 miles of said country all persons on board the vessel must abide by said countries law. When outside of territorial waters (12 miles) the crew must abide by whatever country their ship is registered in. WendoverProductions did a good vid on it.
Amazing work on this! My grandson will love it!
Truly a wonder to see such a well-coordinated operation.
Great to see a view of the new locks. I was there in ‘82 before these were built. I remember Mira Flores locks.
I love your videos the style is amazing❤️✨ much love from Germany
It's so interesting how you take on different pilots at different places to facilitate communication and operations as you pass through the locks, come into harbors, etc.
The part where you go through the mountains is amazing too!
Amazing as always.
the little tugboats pushing the ship against the aligning structure looked cute
