Video released by the Suez Canal Authority showed the Ever Given being escorted by the tugboats that helped free it, each sounding off their horns in jubilation after nearly a week of chaos.
The obstruction has created a massive traffic jam in the vital passage, holding up $9 billion each day in global trade and straining supply chains already burdened by the coronavirus pandemic. Data firm Refinitiv estimated it could take more than 10 days to clear the backlog of ships. Meanwhile, dozens of vessels have opted for the alternate route around the Cape of Good Hope at Africa’s southern tip — a 5,000-kilometer detour that adds some two weeks to journeys and costs ships hundreds of thousands of dollars in fuel and other costs.
It wasn’t clear whether the Ever Given, a Panama-flagged, Japanese-owned ship hauling goods from Asia to Europe, would continue to its original destination of Rotterdam or if it would need to enter another port for repairs.Ship operators did not offer a timeline for the reopening of the crucial canal, which carries over 10% of global trade, including 7% of the world’s oil. Over 19,000 ships passed through last year, according to canal authorities.
And then held right back up In the movie Gone in 60 seconds.
What happened to the poor animals on that container
Yaaaa!
Suez Canal was built in 1850s. This Canal is not designed to handle a super massive ships like Evergreen. It was built for the time to handle the needs of that time . Even with this disaster, we do not think about rebuilding and making an efficient 21 century Canal

Let my cheap Wal-Mart crap go! Said Moses never.
Check out😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
this guy jinxed it
FREE THE SUEZ CANAL!!! ...oh, wait.
To those who don’t get it...again... company name = ‘Evergreen’ .... ship name = ‘Evergiven’ . Please feel free to read over and over as many times as it take to sink into your thick skulls. Thanks 😊
I am worried about how many humans are in those cargo containers illegally and likely not alive anymore 😢😭 praying they are ok. 🙏 (and don’t try to say there isn’t, high probability there is)
Does this guy work?
Congrats. Now people will continue receiving cancer causing goods, polluting plastics, and who knows whatever else is on that global warming causing giant machine. Hmm
'Lettttt myyyy containnneeerrrr gooooooooo!'
I decided to unblock Suez Canal.
120+ memes from all over the world on suez canal blockage in just 4 minutes. Please enjoy.
Oh thank god.
Amazing! I thought we were looking at months to free that ship!
I am asking you politely to put it back
SteamshipMutual good luck, been there, done there
Were safety rules followed for this size of sea transport? Trace safety rules variants for this ship.
wonder who is her P&I insurer..
I knew Theodore would get it done!
Thanks Israel and Mossad for saving human trafficking!
😂😂😂This means our fuel prices will now back down, right? 😂😂😂
Free the ship took about a week. How long will it take to free the Myanmar How long will it take to free the HongKong
I guess I'll get back to work next week..
Dammit really
Finally!
Did they just give it a sock to set it free?
Read this vessel is ONE QUARTER of a mile long & as tall as a skyscraper.😳
the past year showed me that this place is very fragile, it's all a delusion, if something really bad happens to this planet about 3/4 of the population is going to die
Ya'll dont proof read much huh.. ship says Evergreen.. havnt seen an Ever-given
let er rip
With a new captain?
Biden needs to re open the Keystone pipeline asap we are screwing ourselves into oblivion next time we got lucky this time around.
How about next time you get the world's largest ship there and you have a massive wind storm coming you don't let it go through. What a concept Lesson's learned
Put it back.
pog
culub0 WOOOO YEAH SUEZ CANAL
Will the delayed ships be allowed thru toll free?
An answer to prayer!
You're going to want to light a candle in there.
You got any more stuck ships Y’all ?
So rumors that it’s stuck again are incorrect.....
Hooray, the dick-ship McConnell been pull off where it was lodged since Tuesday.
Meanwhile, my Wish order still hasn’t been delivered. We see where they get their inspiration from.
Congratulations to all who worked hard at making this happen as fast as possible!
Truly good news.
I hope they have a new driver.
This ship losing money it may never recover from this accident.. Suez Canal might have to close to dredge Canal to 120 feet on all sides the length of Canal and that will cost Billions
Boo
Ship as long as E.S.Bldg true that but height and weight width will pose issues draft is only 88ft in center..so these big Container ships another will get stuck because of size and draft... having a ship that holds 18,000 containers is just ignorant...
And the gas price gouges immediately dropped gas prices
Hope the Captain is sacked.
this is sad. kapital was not paused long enuf
someone should buy me a minecraft java account 😙
hi, I'm a dad, I'm 40 years old. my business went bankrupt, i can't find a job. they are in financial difficulty. I have a lot of debt. i am a real person.
Pero que demonios llevan en ese barco .?Cosas chinescas ?
Imagine spending all that time then the driver tells you he is facing the wrong way. ☠
coyne_jeffrey they were in the party last night
marinamaral2 put her back
Put it Back
I'll wait for the Discovery Channel show on this.
Well that's good, and definitely better than nuking the ship which is definitely not something I would've suggested. Nope. No nuking. Definitely not me.
SenTedCruz What the American people need to see is how far, how wide & how deep your filthy tentacles go into the insurrection on the Capitol as well as who is buttering your breath. Just who are your associates & where does the dirty money that’s in your deep pockets come from?
...Human ingenuity...six days later...but still...
Congrats! We will have you’re dildos delivered ASAP!
brooklynmarie
Now waiting for a documentary film to come up! Any guess for the title?!!
put it back
Finally
YAY! See what happens when human work together! No one asked about race, sex, religion or creed! Just worked together! 👏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
Basically every country in the world right now
Alissa has been set free and is on the move.
Thanks MrBeast
Report said they were making a loss of $400m per hour. So for the 6day it goes up to $57.6b
Isn't the ship's name 'Ever Green' not 'Ever Given'? Photo taken from Google images.
Great now make gas prices great again fuckers!!!! ⛽⛽⛽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😂😂😂
Somebody finally showed up with a Chevy and a tow strap!
Does everyone just think this was an accident?
..they destroy wildlife, wipe out shores, pollute pollute pollute... this kind of floating empire state building should never have been allowed, but hey, if you have the $$$
wa
I just feel like Panama would have had that ship out so much faster
Listen in earphones Pls share
Someone left a huge floater in the canal... 🙄
Great my Amazon package is free.
Was Ship over loaded?
So that means gas prices should go down immediately, right? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good. Now make it dock and show us what's in those shipping containers.
Cardanski0 couldn't have done it without our memes
Reminds me of the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast. How could you literally have no plan for this whatsoever?
PUT IT BACK
Why didn't they just Ctrl+Alt+Del and then End Task in Task Manager?
This is like taking Viagara and having a errection that won't go away. Sigh of relief.
COVID-19 enforced Science to action in real time; vaccines speed r proof. '[W]hat suffers in the atmosphere of immediacy is analysis. What suffers in this search for speed is depth. The media in the wealthy world r becoming increasingly simplistic superficial & celebrity-focused'
Tuffy_Shall we’re gonna make it! ☕️
Maybe the canal service needs to fully dredge the canal and reconsider the weight limits. Just because you build it bigger doesn’t mean it works
We must unplug our personal canals with the fiber of harmony and the laxative of unselfish love.
AliVelshi
Can’t wait for this to be the reason taxes are hiked and gas is $5
Yesssss! Now we can all wait on delivery of all the made-in-China crap we don't need in our lives!
Pretty sure there's a newly unemployed ship captain.
But British trade is still well and truly stuck with Brexit.
So instead of jacking up the prices on everything to screw the consumer into flipping the bill for this CF ( use your imagination), how about the company that owns that ship just cut me a stimulus check and we’ll call it good🙂
The moon has its uses..
So what you’re saying is the boat finally pulled out
cool, HillaryClinton's human trafficking can resume
I need to speak to the captain 👀
(The ship’s captain singing in his head) 🎶 You about to lose your job 🎶
I was sure they'd need to partially offload the ship. This is great news, many congratulations to the people who worked around the clock to make it happen (and thanks to the high tide)!
Every ship watching the Evergreen pass by it.
PUT IT BACK
GUYS HE DID IT!
Let's see some action !!!
Ship's Ahoy!
Unlike that ship, we are not going anywhere! 💎🙌🚀🌕 GG $amc $gme Moon
God be praised.
Congratulations.
Stuck again
Nancy_Crouse All praise goes to the workers that made this happen. I cannot imagine how difficult it was to get this done in an incredibly short period of time. Wow. So impressed with them all. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The report says it's still stuck, but moving.
Hope we don’t get more crashes at the scene due to rubbernecking
Just like that its free 🤔🤔
:( boat
Hey, I just did some math and in the future it might be a good idea not to let ships wider than the canal through there.
bummer
put it back
the little ship that could
yaas my free everqueen queen
I wonder what the bill will be for that?
Set free to swim with the other container ships!
Bout time
Planetary constipation. In the process of being resolved.
During heavy weather conditions, these tankers need to layup until it's absolutely safe to continue. This should not happen.
Helped by the peak of high tide, a flotilla of tugboats managed to wrench the bow of the skyscraper-sized Ever Given from the sandy back of the Suez Canal, where it had been firmly lodged since last Tuesday.
