Comarable to a stunt like 9-11, an Iranian sponsored group could commandeer a ship and wedge it likewise, perhaps even scuttling the ship once in place, making a more permanent blockage.

As such, governments should consider absolving crews of liability for killing pirates in action. I believe right now, due to insurance liability issues, crews aren’t supposed to carry guns to defend themselves against marauders. They’re just supposed to do as they’re told by their captors.

All part of the anti-gun mentality of the corporate world.

The whole incident started when one of the ships suddenly changed lanes without using its blinker

This looks like an enormous terrorist target. How many ships could be destroyed with a ballistic missile attack by the Iranian Mullahs, for instance?

Would seem you could hook a ship of about the same size onto it and drag it back into the channel...

Strange that articles call it “Ever Given”, but the name painted on the side is “Evergreen.”
