Days after the Ever Given became lodged in the canal, its rudder has been freed and dredging is complete. Some salvagers hope it could be freed this weekend, but the wait for shipping to resume continues.
Egyptian authorities Wednesday were engaged in a complicated effort to dislodge a giant container ship stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking all traffic on one of the world’s busiest shipping arteries.
The huge vessel got stuck in the canal sideways, with its bow wedged in one bank and its stern nearly touching the other, on Tuesday during a dust storm when wind speeds reached 40 knots, according to a person familiar with the incident.
When the Ever Given container ship ran aground in the Suez Canal on Tuesday, its bulk blocking shipping traffic through the key global thoroughfare, the world looked on, wondering how the authorities would manage to unstick the behemoth.
Days later, the vessel is still stuck, amid a frantic effort to free it, and fears over the cascading costs of the fallout. Already, shipping analysts estimated, the traffic jam has held up nearly $10 billion in trade each day.
Vessels packed with the world’s goods — including cars, oil, livestock and laptops — usually flow through the waterway with ease, supplying much of the globe as they transverse the quickest path from Asia and the Middle East to Europe and the East Coast of the United States.
Lots of conspiracies were told about the ship and it seems the news that we have from China will raise even more suspicion.
A photo on Weibo in mainland China went viral today (27). A truck carrying an "Evergreen container" was stuck on the highway, staged a road version of the "Evergreen" scene.
In the photo, it can be seen that the truck on the highway was photographed and downloaded with the "Evergreen Container". A squeezed SUV stuck on the edge of the road. The car from the rear was affected by the accident, and it was difficult to pass and nobody could move. According to the monitoring data, the accident occurred at about 9:55 this morning, and the accident site was on the Nanjing section of the Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway which is one of China's busiest highways.
Images below:
Long queues on the expressway due to car accidents are not very rare. But now that the Evergreen freighter is still blocking the Suez Canal, a similar accident is happening again, which inevitably makes everyone feel that the timing is too close, even it could be just a coincidence.
There were a lot of discussions.
People left messages saying, "Sea and land are blocked", "Awesome, monopolistic enterprise, in a physical sense", "Will Evergreen go to hell?", "Evergreen should pay more attention", " It’s exactly the same as the posture of a freighter going sideways.
What do you think?

Thanks as you know I am a truth seeker. I spend a good deal of time trying to wake up FR but its a lot slower than I would have expected. I’m OK with push back.
There’s an old saying that its easy to con people but very hard to get them to admit they have been conned.
IMO there is a lot going on behind the scenes this past week and this weekend. Monkey Werx reported that the same day last week Kampala Harris flew on AF2 to Jax another plane sqwaucking AF2 left DC for Colorado Springs. Think Cheyenne Mountain. I just wonder who that could have been?
Concur. The CCP recognizes the window of ineffective US leadership. That window is 2 years before any chance the electorate can change the composition of Congress.
“Yeah, and those crosseyed slanteyed yellow monkeys the Japs could and would NEVER attack Pearl Harbour.”
Non sequitur.
If it’s your contention that China would attack US bases, don’t you also believe the result would be massive retaliation?
Do you believe that China believes they could win an all out war with the US? Do YOU believe they could?
All scenarios in the war games never include the US striking mainland China, but they almost all include China striking US bases west of Pearl Harbor.
China could not survive an all out war with the US Pacific Fleet AND the US Air Force at the same time. And if they want to go nuke, they lose worse.
With the Biden administration we are a vassal state to China. It's not just Biden look at their influence in Congress and in many of our high tech industries and academia. Historically China sees international relations in terms of hegemony. Meaning they're charge we acknowledge the subordinate relationship. That doesn't mean physical occupation WWII style. The Middle Kingdom doesn't like too much intimacy with the smelly barbarians. (Unless its your assignment like it was for Bang Bang or was it Fang Fang.) It's a form of vassalage. We give them markets & resources nowadays that means primarily technical IP. Deals cut with them are 60/40 if they're feeling generous or 80/20 if they're not.
They view this as payback for the "300 years of humiliation" by the West (We get no special consideration for not being a European colonial power. We look like the Brits, French or Germans !). You can find that speech by a CCP official on the Internet plus I think Amazon has a book on it.
Ever Grounded?
Qnuts were itching for some made up thing to start frothing about
By “think for yourself”, you obviously mean watch YouTube videos created out of whole cloth by nut jobs. Enough nut jobs watch them and it gets added to the Qanon canon, ad infinitum
That's exactly how it works.
You obviously know best.
China has 700 ships. They’ve been building like crazy and still are. There is no unacceptable losses to a country with that capability and 1.4 billion people.
China has about 200 combatants, 120 of which are modern...by Chinese standards.
That includes 80 subs, none worth a sh!t.
They have another 200 or so corvettes, missile boats, patrol boats etc...that can shoot at you from 100 miles out. But no defenses whatsoever.
We call those easy targets. You can take them out with a Hellfire.
And their navy has never conducted a blue water operation. And never fired a weapon in anger.
And has never known the fear and chaos of being fired upon. Much less hit.
“And has never known the fear and chaos of being fired upon. Much less hit.”
Neither has ours. Our Navy of wars past is a long forgotten memory. Many times the enemy has struck and caused significant damage. Hell, we have a hard time with PC culture to the point we get rammed by slow moving container ships.
“But no defenses whatsoever.”
You don’t know the Chinese navy to say that.
Ever After?
Ever Loving?
Ever Repetitious?
Ever unimaginative?
Institutional knowledge is worth its weight in gold.
If you think the US Navy inept in its principal role of controlling the sea lanes and projecting power, you have less confidence than our enemies.
For they would be firing on us right now if they thought they could get away with it. But they won’t. Because they can’t.
Thanks RACPE.

How can a report on this event say this, and not mention the ship moved in the Red Sea so as to draw a penis and gonads with the ship’s track?
Cargo ship draws giant penis in Red Sea then becomes wedged in Suez Canal
A container ship caught in the Suez Canal took an unusual route through the Red Sea before it became stuck on a major shipping route.

You’ve got to think something intentional by the crew after that.
It is possible that the Ever GIven didn’t sail the “penis” route at aall. AIS info is compromised:

You don't seem to be very successful at it.
So you’re the one making those videos. 😆
