Ever Given: Egypt agrees deal to release ship that blocked Suez Canal

heres a better link i like the fact they gave them a neat tugboat too

Off she goes:

Hurrah !
It’s arrived in the UK.
Shouldn’t be too long before i get my toilet paper.

Uh oh !

You can all relax, according to vesselfinder.com, the Ever Given has cleared the Canal and is steaming southward in the Gulf of Suez.

Oops! …they did it again.

Description of the ship:

At least it’s not one of the EVERGREEN line.

Boo, they fixed it already:

Didn’t the Affinity Five get super powers from cosmic rays or something? Did someone drop a lump of kryptonite in the canal?

Well, that’s disappointing. :wink:

In other Big Ships Gone Bad news, the U.N. is still trying to scrape up the last of the money needed to prevent a decaying giant oil tanker off Yemen from breaking up and dumping 1.1 million barrels of oil into the sea.

At some point, it’ll become more cost effective to have better pilots.

I suggest going in the middle of the canal, headed straight. Maybe I qualify?

Walt Disney solved the problem half a century ago. The canal should be like the Pirates of the Caribbean; guided along by rubber guard rails and rollers before being set adrift in the Mediterranean or Red Sea.

Perhaps while “It’s a Small World” is blared on loudspeakers at the ships?

All levity aside, isn’t much of the issue caused by high winds hitting 30+ meters of freeboard+containers along a 350-meter-long ship? Makes it hard to steer a narrow path in such situations - and the Disney solution might just end up capsizing the ship.

“You must be this short to go on this ride.”
