-
they are opening 1.5% of containers and still finding a decent amount of drugs imagine how much drugs are getting through
-
Many forget that MSC originates from Naples where the Camorra rules. MSC has been called Maffia Shipping Company by many people inside ports for probably 40 years.
-
I have been a Chief Engineer in MSC and know exactly what happens. Nothing of such can happen without the involvement of the Master with his substantial cut in the payment.
-
This was known to seafarers since a very long time. We used to call MSC the Mafia Shipping Company. Around 2012 there was this guy who alerted the US authorities about the drug that was being trafficked on his ship. The US govt rewarded him and promised him a safe passage to his home country. He went to the airport(U.S) but never reached home.
-
BS - I've sailed for 36 plus years, retiring as Chief Engineer and there is NO Way that the Captain did not know; for that matter, everyone on that vessel would have known.
-
All of this effort and they admit "the effect is 0".
-
It would be nice if you make a video about the way MSC grew so quickly in the eighties and nineties. Never saw a shipping company expand and grow so quickly in such a little time.
-
I recently worked with MSC who owns MS Security on these vessels. The Security on these vessels isn't what you think it is. It's more a front to let the U.S. know that MSC vessels have security guards on these ships. We don't do anything special but just sit there and be seen, no training, no certificates, security guards are mainly Greek and South Africans.

"The MSC Gayane is one of the biggest ships sailing the ocean today." - WRONG It's not even in the top 1000. "MSC are today the world's largest shipping company." - MSC might be the world's largest container shipping company, Maersk is however the worlds biggest shipping company. Skyler White there has all her facts straight.
-
Amazing story. I’ve sailed as Captain on merchant vessels for decades, I can’t imagine any operation where the ships cranes were repeatedly used at sea that would not have come to my attention. Incidentally the eight crew arrested would be about one third of the total crew.
-
this is probably only a small percentage that's known about..
-
"We can only scan 1.5% of containers. We find tons, but it amounts to 0." Exactly. The drug war is pointless and costs taxpayer money. Legalize, regulate, tax and stop all this violence associated with illegal trade.
-
In 1980 cartels declared they do this. Woman in 2022: we discovered......
-
I have a hard time believing that it would be possible to pull off a loading at sea operation like that without the knowledge of the captain.
-
Every interviewee has said in this video that law enforcement barely makes a dent in their operations on this protracted and futile "war on drugs", so that demonstrates it clearly is a complete waste of time and resources, not to mention the safety of those involved. 🤷♀
-
“Of course, I’m not even Greek”
-
Only the little guys get sent to jail. Brendo (one of the biggest) got sentenced to a lifetime in Italy, then extradited to Bulgaria and went missing .. having enough money can pay off. Those salary based people can always be bought .
-
All the money it costs to police drug trafficking, plus the related crime costs, and health costs, and welfare costs... It'd be cheaper for govts to buy all the drugs straight from the traffickers.
-
No one talks about how much of the confiscated drugs go back into the market via the anti-narcotics authority themselves
