Was reading about this earlier, that's a big ship to shift.
Talk of it affecting oil pricing if it gets held up too long.
I blame Brexit.

I saw this earlier and thought that is going to take a lot of water to flush down from thee next lock.
Might be a while.

Still there it would seem and likely to end up costing millions to deal with in work, insurance and other claims.
I wonder what the 20,000 containers have in them, going from China to Netherlands.
Hmm how much of this is useless?
Mad planet.

I suppose if tugs don't work then the next option is to pump fuel and water out and if that isn't enough to start removing containers by craning them off from the bank.

I'm slightly worried as i bought some Β£2 fluffy dice and a spare led module and they might be a week late.
It's terrible really.

If they blocked the canal with a temporary dam north of the ship the prevailing westerly wind in the Atlantic would build up the water level in the east end of the Med which could then be released by blasting the dam away with one of Israel's nuclear devices, thereby flushing the ship off the sandbank. Simples ..............

Donβt think the little digger they keep showing will make much difference. That bulbous bow must be a good few meters above its normal depth so the whole bow is really aground. Take more than a long shaft to shift it. They worry about pulling to hard because although itβs a massive structure itβs not that strong and they might break it .
