The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said on Sunday that tugging and dredging operations to free a grounded container ship blocking the waterway would continue around the clock, according to wind conditions and tides.

Dredgers working to dislodge the stranded ship have so far shifted 27,000 cubic metres of sand around the ship to reach a depth of 18 metres, the authority said in a statement.

The 400-metre long Ever Given became jammed diagonally across a southern section of the canal more than five days ago, halting shipping traffic on one of the world’s busiest waterways. As of Saturday, 321 boats were waiting to transit the canal, including dozens of container ships, bulk carriers and liquefied natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas vessels.

Shipping rates for oil product tankers nearly doubled after the ship became stranded, and the blockage has disrupted global supply chains, threatening costly delays for companies already dealing with COVID-19 restrictions.

EVERGREEN EVERGIVEN | A calculated move by 🇺🇸 to signal Beijing. It raises the costs for 🇨🇳, slows down its exports. Lets the 🇪🇺 know, just who exactly is still the Big Kahuna, west of Suez. For the weeks that Suez is blocked, China's ego is too. GunboatDiplomacy Battleship

I am a victim of a MK-ultra program. Run by the cryptocurrency fanatics, the dutch government, mainstream media, various youtubers, and people on twitch. They use trauma based mind-control to trigger self-destructive behavior and try and drive me to suicide.

I can't understand why they're not using big cranes from the land to pull it in reverse direction in same time? It will create maximum pressure. I think it's like a conspiracy to create another alternative route and damage Egypt economy.

Why don't they install coffee dams and use big ass pumps to float that sucker?
