This looks a bit tricky.

Grounded 'Mega Ship' Blocking Suez Canal in Both Directions – gCaptain

 

[Concerto]

Should the ship be renamed "Ever Stuck" rather than "Ever Given"?

 

[Kukri]

She’s fully laden and well sued up out of her draft forward. This could be very tricky.


Pity it’s Evergreen and not CMA CGM.

There is no justice.

I particularly like this detail:



Someone will write to the Times to say that it’s all a plot to put freight rates up.

Nah, more likely that its a Plot to encourage more trade to a Western EU country, they need it, more that we need them !

 

[Mr Googler]

Whoops.....causing a few issues. Every tug in Egypt on route apparently

Seems to be a digger/ship size mismatch!

 

[typhoonNige]

Just pass a line to the ship behind to pull them off. What could possibly go wrong!

 

[atol]

They need to build some Pyramids with those containers....

 

[scruff]

Bloody newcomer captain coming to sailing - they don't even seem to know how to warp out a tight spot. I recon they probably jumped on the band waggon after watching you tube and thinking it was easy.

 

[yotter]

Quandary, are you busy today, off to Suez with your trusty boathook

Just imagine if it had been a warship!

 

[ProMariner]

Why did they have to go and paint it green? Everybody knows green is unlucky on a boat. It's cause land is green, so anything green on boats is attracted to land. Common sense, innit?

They are gonna need a bigger digger.

 

[RichardS]

Better "Suez blocked" than "Sewer blocked".

That thought did occur to me. Blow the bottom out and the canal could be closed for quite a while, which would mess up trade between Europe and the Middle and Far East a bit. I'm sure Iran has already considered the possibilities.

We don't know yet if the Evergreen ship has been hijacked and deliberately run aground by agents working for S.P.E.C.T.R.E. or what is their ransome demand.
M is briefing James Bond as we speak; the official line is that the grounding of the 100,000 ton vessel was caused by a gust of wind. A likely story.

 

[Juan Twothree]

Maybe he could get the RNLI to tow him off.

Oh, hang on........
