So far Egypt's trying to do so with at least 12 tug boats and a digger, with more resources already pouring in. But it is going to be a challenge. Over 200k tons of ship and goods doesn't budge easily when stuck.

Yes, it's become a la mode for armchair economists like NSGers to rail against JIT supply, but that doesn't mean ALL the criticisms are off base

No that it is quite vulnerable to disruptions is a legitimate criticism but tbh the benefits of it in terms of global trade is worth the risks involved, albeit I do agree there needs to be more alternative major trade routes to reduce vulnerability. Ports however only have limited space as do storage facilities which not only would cost a lot in terms of expanding and building but also staffing and maintaining not to mention the costs of storing the increased amounts of goods and materials resulting in that. With some things it could even be more dangerous since we probably do not want more potentially explosive materials in storage than needed.
