Ever Green arrives in Felixstowe

[Concerto]

Just seen this in the news. Ever Green, the ship that blocked the Seuz Canal has arrived in Felixstowe today.

Ever Given: Cargo ship that blocked Suez Canal arrives in Felixstowe

If you are local, you might want to have a look at her either from the water or from Shotley.

Bit of a non-event really. It's no bigger than many ships which routinely dock in Felixstowe, and it turned up carrying only a handful of containers. The press were crawling all over the area today, and there were lots of trippers.

It's not the size that counts, it's the notoriety.....

of the digger driver ? He's the people's hero surely.

I wondered why there were media vans in the car park outside Shotley marina yesterday. Pub was so busy we couldn't get any lunch!

 

[ex-Gladys]

The irony is that a lot of the photos were of the other Evergreen ship down at the Landguard end...

Lucky escape then

A pedant might point out that EVERGREEN ships are all over the place. The one that arrived in Felixstowe is EVER GIVEN...

Well, for the average hack the fact that it has got the word EverGreen written on the side is near enough...they appreciate that the average Daily Wail/Express/Scum reader won't have a clue what boat it actually is!

What the meeja didn't point out is that it is full of cheap tat from a country that has a dubious record on a number of fronts. But that would be too difficult.

 

[Biggles Wader]

I blame the BBC and the RNLI

 

[Black Diamond]

Increasingly expensive, but I can't agree with tat. We had to stump up $12k for a 40 footer (circa $2K pre pandemic) on top of steep price rises from the manufactury. How the gumment have managed to massage inflation down below 3% I do not know.

Another pedant might point out that all the Evergreen ships are called "Ever something".

But, Mr Ratner, in spite of your assertions, if you cannot sell the "tat" that you imported in your container, then it will not reflect in prices in the shop so we will all be safe from inflation.
British is best

Driving down the A12 yesterday, we passed an evergreen container. First Officer commented there is something wrong.

She said it should be wedged across the road causing a traffic jam !
