Mv Ever Given is blocking the Suez canal - why can’t they just pull it out or dig it out? Why will this last a long time.
I will explain the problem in this video. I hope you like the video.
In the picture you see Evergreen stuck in the Suez canal.

Good video
That was interesting to watch.
Not sure what this ship is worth, but I wonder if they’ll have to unload it then start cutting it in pieces.
Good vid. However, I do not really see any reason why a couple vacuum dredges cannot have their pickup pipes extended to do the job. Smaller “water jets” could also be used to displace sand to where it would be easier to remove. Obviously, some creativity and jury rigging might be involved.
Granted, this does assume the sand goes deep enough to make removal effective. If there is bedrock a few meters down, having the ship come to rest on that might not be so great...
Did you see the ‘drwaing’ this ship (sea track) made before it beached itself?
