About a tenth of global trade passes through the Suez Canal, and it could be facing a weeks-long blockage.

But the mammoth container ship that has lodged itself across the waterway poses a very modern problem: Workers are continuing to clear sand and mud away from the Ever Given, a 224,000-ton vessel that ran aground after 40-knot winds and a sandstorm caused low visibility and poor navigation.

Suez Canal traffic jam blocks the world's jugular veinFinancial troubles forced the Ottoman governor of Egypt to sell a controlling stake in the waterway to Britain in 1875; 13 years later, a multinational summit resulted in an agreement that the canal would be free for all countries to use, both in peace and war.

I think this picture say different thing.. 🧐🤔🤔

Let’s see you have a big boat stuck and a bunch of other big boats parked and oh let’s use tug boats. Hey use multiple big boats put them to work too

Photoshop

why not unload it? Fight the bureaucrats?

Digging toilets in our countryside is bigger than the excavators you use.

The Chinese would have had this thing disassembled and moved out of the way in 24 hours.

Call Eren Yeager

Biden’s fault.

I just wana tell this ship... You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And now you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it.....

They built a canal when what they needed was a channel. Common mistake.

My house is close to the ship location. if anyone wants to come and make snorkeling . Welcome🙋‍♂️

Why are you calling this ship Ever Given, when its name is Evergreen?

nice picture, now I know how it could happen. seems like a tactic that could be used in the future for malicious purposes

Setting the scene for marxism.

How about marine airbags at the front end! With the rear-end pivoted, would be much easier to salvage.

Bro at this point just make a new canal

This is crazy

When that high tide comes ......Sunday/Monday they need pull and have multiple ships upstream from the where it’s wedged power away from it. Causing. a current at the same time as they pull.

most governments have already agreed to just nuke the boat in the suez canal and be done with it. but which country should supply the nuke they use? we need to be smart about this, let Egypt decide whose nuke to use.

Open those containers!! It's about to get real!

길막

Transfer fuel to lighten up the ship, and use and many tugs and a ship from behind to nudge it.

Is it possible to use the fluidized bed technique beneath or around the hull to loosen up sand and pulling the ship at the same time...

We all know it's the Clintons

I would use some kind of pulleys from the ground, to pull it reallly mf hard. Also put away serious amounts of sand from beneath the front so it floats again. Voilà

To clear tons of sand (I don't know how they are doing it now) perhaps they should use equipment in construction which uses a archimedes screw for pumping concrete or drilling. Alternative unload many container to lighten ship load 4 it to rise.

Is it a ship from china

Thanks Biden

taiwan can block

منكن حل واحد نقوم برات الجزاء الامامي باربت فولازي قوي وخلفيه باربت وانش عكس بعض لنعدل الوجه الي الامام

Thanks, Joe

Instead of hiding Chris Cuomo, CNN should send him there to report live from the Suez Canal.

Come on! Anyone that is involved with NavigableWaterways knows - they aren't STATIC - They Change -WTF is responsible for the SuezOperations Possible winner for the DumbAssAward for 2021 (similar to darwinaward but different).

Blow that ship up and remove the bits.

MartinOtis Oh, man, if you were so d’actualité about Trump.... 😂😂😂😂

Can they raise the water level somehow? If it was able to get in that position, they can try to back it up and get it out. Worse comes to worse, they can destroy it. It seems like there would be ways to remove it that won't take THAT long.

What you need is a really really big ship with a snowplowing like attachment and a decent run-up

Coincidência?

Omg !!! Fake News is actually reporting on something besides PRESIDENT TRUMP!!

10% of electronics and 6% of oil cross the channel. Insurers already do the calculations. Manufacturing will be stopped and cargo should be directed to other ports.

How long did it take for Suez LOG-JAM ocean transportation to veer sideways such to JAM the channel? What emergency measures were taken as it began to veer sideways JAMMING the channel as if it was a giant LOG?

Why does the article call it the Ever Given when the ship says Evergreen on its side? Is Evergreen a company name or something?

Biden’s Fault!

The US Navy can't drip bombs on the Middle East nearly as easy without the Suez!

然后,你又要出面了!😄😂😄

Pour some Epsom Salts. It'll unblock anything.

Weeks long? Drive a pile on either side to winch from and straighten the fucking boat out. 1 day 2 max. CUNTS

why we don't try to use an American aircraft carrier to pull away?

Sounds like Brexit

Follow the money behind this crisis. It ramps up scarcity to ramp up poverty and ramp up price inflation may ramp up getting paltry people let resistance to vaccination. Global billionaires own enough vessels to have this ship raised out of the canal if they want that to happen.
