The Suez Canal is currently not blocked

[R.P.L]

A perfect illustration of the difficulty of finding information on the internet

Anyway, a quick Google suggests that this is definitely a large ship, but hardly unprecedented. So basically they need to learn2drive.

There is going to be a few clenched sphincters on the bridge the next time Ever Given needs to pass through the canal

Does nobody know what's actually on it or is that commercially sensitive? I know when I got my Tesla there are avid boat-followers who know exactly when your car was loaded on to which boat in California, but I guess a ship carrying just one supplier's goods is a bit easier to track.

20,000 shipping containers probably has a bit of every consumer tat currently on the market and a few drug stashes.

 

[squerble]

Yes, it's currently the biggest I believe in its load capacity. Problem is when fully loaded it can't course correct when side wind hits it effectively.

It's not even in the 10 biggest in the world

 

[SlyReaper]

Does anyone know why this doesn't happen more often? Did the ship just happen to lose power at a particularly narrow point?

 

[Vulcan]

Crikey the number of tugs following it, I bet that driver is a bit shakey at the wheel

They should probably be more concerned at the ships ahead they have to pass. I imagine a few hand signals will be made.

 

[Ugley_Matt]

Looks like they are lining up to give a guard of honour and a slow hand clap i would think

Its been freed, now being pulled through.

You mean it's being tugged off.

Could be anything, while I don't have any containers on the Ever Given currently we have used the ship in the past and I currently have two ships currently in the traffic jam with some of my containers on it.

They can carry literally anything, for instance one of them is full of electrical cable at the moment and the other equipment for the oil industry.

1 of my containers is on a ship that's been diverted round the cape so we'll see which get there quicker haha.

[simc1978]

Great it's freed, now on to the next reason we can't have nice GPUs. Feels like the excuses so far have been, brexit, Chinese new year, Evergiven, miners, yields ...

Spotted on AIS earlier that one of the ships in the southbound convoy that was trapped in the Great Bitter Lake when the Ever Given grounded is her sister ship, Ever Globe. I’ll bet the Captain’s going to be sweating taking that through the same stretch of canal!

It's being followed by a tug (grey), they aren't taking an chances now.

Can ships get barred from the canal.

 

[mjt]

No more jokes please. That ship has sailed.

Good one liner.
