Indian Navy to the Rescue
What’s Going on With Shipping?
March 6, 2024
In this episode, Sal Mercogliano – maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner – discusses the role of the Indian Navy in assisting MSC Sky II attacked by the Houthi in the Gulf of Aden, along with issues on board MSC Sao Paolo V having a fire in the St Lawrence River and the breakdown of MSC Katyani off the coast of Spain. We also touch on the Chinese Coast Guard and their water cannons.

Great channel. A different view of the world.
Fascinating update Sal. Many thanks
THey had to use Indian Navy stokers and engineers on the old oil fired ships we had in the Australian Navy like the HMAS Melbourne because we no longer had the expertise to do it locally
MSC has their finger on the pulse, but man, QUBE logistics doesn't know it's ass from it's tail
Big Streams do big damage.
When the maritime crews stop sailing due to the Houthi, maybe the shipping companies will start paying fair wages.
Bravo to the Indian Navy
Hats off Indian navy
Thank you for the updates! Great work by the Indian Navy!
USN Submarine duty at sea means 1-2 fire training drills per week. There is at least a drill of some kind every day, including in port drills putting pressure on the in port watch of approximately 1/3 crew on board.
Annually, our damage control teams, leaders, and ancillary sailors would qualify to maintain proficiently. That included flooding, hot weapon run, collision, reactor, engine room, torpedo room fire and flooding combos that you always failed during the first one of three days of training. They humbled us first, backed off the screws a little and gradually made the drills more dangerous and complicated to find our breaking points: we had to know our weaknesses and it served to mature the juniors. Makes for a smart and sharp crew.
After that, the CO speaks and firmly informs us to expect many drills on our weak points.
No way can civilian crews afford such training.
But point is, that merchant was in excellent Indian Navy hands.
I got to say India has showed them self lately to be a true leader in the International arena.
A running joke in NYH is containers are filled with happy meal toys and other like products. I would hate to see someone loose their life putting out a container filled with landfill junk.
When I was in the US Navy, we had firefighting in boot camp, firefight at 32nd Street Naval Base for the West Coast – that was a week long, if I recall correctly – and firefighting drills on board ship, even for those of us assigned to the Air Wing and not ship's company.
Sal, you are not vintage…you are prime. Thanks for more great work!
3 crew killed by Houthi attack on Barbados-flagged cargo vessel True Confidence. 😞
China has the right to defend itself! If you can’t criticise Israel for genocide you can’t criticise any other country! Simples!
All of the shipping issues are being carried out by the WEF, IMF, including all the train wrecks here in the U.S. & trucking laws that greatly effect the truckers!
I unloaded containers for years… it’s hard work under the best conditions can’t imagine what it must be like when it’s on fire.
is it real is kkk
Water Cannons are called "cannons" because they are not you household's garden hose.
Great video. Not the navy, but my father was in WW2 (a Canadian), and said that the 2.5 million soldiers India fielded in the war have not been recognized enough.
Wars are rarely if ever just against military folks.
Glad to hear of the Indian Navy's work.
Thanks Sal
The irony of Chinese "firefighting" which might start a geopolitical fire
We are talking about efforts taken by the navies and how the merchant fleet together with the navies could go through the dangerous situation in the GoA and the Red Sea. This situation can be handled safely by diplomatic channels but the people in power are not doing anything diplomatically about this situation and they leave it to us (yes, we all) to deal with the situation on our own. What a shame.
actually yemen has salvage & rescue! it's the only salvage operation the houthi's recommend..
So the US guardians are swomped in the number of hoothy targets required tracking huh
Indian navy is busy rescuing Israeli vessels nowadays. It seems captain America can't protect its ships in red Sea.
Sal, you should go to the West Bank and see for yourself.
Hilarious transition to China
Indians.. Hmm are those the Hindu ZIONIST
Hey, check out the latest news of MV True confidence. Again indian navy saved the ship. But sadly 3 philipino crew members died due to missile hit.
Being an election year between Biden and Trump. Also with Nikki. Haley, the USN knows exactly how to take measures to put a stop to these matters with quick and I mean quick END to it all ! I believe they're being held back by POTUS due to the election year. This is unfortunate. If our NATO allies and ships are being attacked our burk class and others including carriers can address this matter and solve it in a couple of days. Biden is worried about the temperature of the Middle East. He believes it's boiling and being familiar of the Middle East. It's only out of simmer. He needs to let the USN do their job and move on. Wish you well and I wish all of the ships well and all the navies. Godspeed!🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thank you Sal.
The Chinese Coastguard has been doing those attacks for years. Major news media has only just picked up the story.
The contrast between the chines and Indian navy is interesting. I wish India would be more robust on Russian behaviour though.
Which way would the fertilizer/fuel pollution from the Rubymar spread? I hope it will be mostly towards the west Yemeni coast??
Esta vez hemos permitido que la India los salve. Si no responden a las fuerzas armadas yemeníes, hundiremos los barcos y a quienquiera que rescate a sus tripulaciones. Este es su último intento. 🔥🇾🇪🔥✌
Finally atleast somebody acknowledging the Indian Navy All the media are sucks biased 😣
Indiannnn Navyyyy most Auspicious !🇮🇳
I have been following your videos for a quite sometimes. I found it vary informative and interesting. Thank you.
The ships targeted by Ansar Allah (the Houthis) are Yemeni due to their connections with Israeli Zionists, who engage in aggression and genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. They block food and medicine from reaching them.
❤🇮🇳
India under Modi gets it
