Ship Stuck In Suez [My Final Update: Not Anymore]

[Mestovakia]

So if the ship is named Ever Given why is Evergreen written on the side.

Evergreen Marine owns the ship.

[The New California Republic]

So if the ship is named Ever Given why is Evergreen written on the side.

The company name usually goes on the side in the big letters, while the ship name is usually on the stern in small letters. If you squint at the stern in some of the pictures then you can see it.

The best kind of answer to a question is one that reminds you that you already knew this information...

This might sound DUMB AF, but can't they like, use another container ship to pull it out?

oh
lovely
Reports claiming that the ship has been partially refloated seem to be inaccurate

THE SUEZ Canal remains closed following the grounding of a fully laden Evergreen-operated 20,000 teu containership on Tuesday, blocking traffic on one of the world’s most important waterways.

Despite reports that the 2018-built, Panama-flagged Ever Given (IMO: 9811000) had been partially refloated, the vessel’s technical managers BSM have confirmed that the vessel remains grounded.

An email seen by Lloyd’s List and sent by the GAC Egypt SCT Coordinating Office to the China Shipowners’ Association this afternoon said that the vessel was partially refloated and currently alongside the Suez Canal bank side.

“We are still waiting confirmed information for the towing direction. Convoy and traffic will be back to normal within [a] very short time as a soon as the vessel is towed to another position,” read the email, which was based on information given directly from the Suez Canal Authority early on Wednesday.

A spokesman for BSM, however, described the reports as “inaccurate” and confirmed that the vessel has not moved. Lloyd’s List Intelligence AIS tracking also confirms that Ever Given has not moved since it ran aground 151 km north in the Suez Canal at 0540 hrs GMT on Tuesday, turning sideways and causing a backup of nearly 100 other ships.

Several attempts to release the vessel using tugs have so far failed.

The latest update from Leth Agencies said that Ever Given remained grounded and in same position as this morning.

"Efforts to refloat the vessel have been conducted by the use of eight tugboats, without much progress," it said.

"Traffic remains suspended with no new or projected changes. As of 1745 hrs, we have received information that two dredgers are underway. They are expected to commence their efforts around 2000hrs."

I love real-time world event NS threads. They're just so... fun.

This is why Israel needs to build a Canal on the Other side of the Peninsula. Then the Suez and (Insert Israeli Canal Name) Could Compete. Whall we are at it let's build a canal in north Florida so Texas Oil can leave the gulf Faster, plus Florida would be an island. Canals everywhere.

I hope the crew are ok
Imagine you wake up and your morning view of the canal is blocked by a huge freighter

Breaking News!

Egyptian government declare grounded cargo ship 'new national landmark' and 'like the pyramids, but wetter'.

The crew will be fine.

The canal has been blocked before. For years even, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Canal#Timeline

The Northern Sea Route is looking better all the time ain't she

Break up world economy
Produce and trade locally

(also good against Chinese monopolies and American vulture capitalism)

Just get another cargo ship up to ramming speed and dislodge it.

There's...

I don't think its the cargo you'd be worried about getting hurt in this scenario.

With Netanyahu as the cargo ship that keeps blocking everything up there?

This has now caused global oil prices to rise by 4%

In an unrelated note, 12% of global trade passes through this one canal

And don't forget folks, according to distorted QAnon logic the song "Evergreen" by Barbra Streisand is actually about Hillary...

Why create a new one when there's already a good canal there? They could send in some people to help free the ship, along with some more tugboats and armed escorts from say....Britian and France, and then stay there for a bit longer incase any other ships need helping out.

What are you doing step-ship?

[Carthatska]

What are you doing step-ship?

No, no, nononoono

Now that's in my imagination.

Thanks for that.
