Hope there is a shipment of food in those containers.

They can be used to spell things.

Maritime law is some weird stuff, it's roots date back to the middle ages and a lot of it doesn't make sense at all to modern people. It's kind of no man's land because it usually operates outside national boundaries, there's a lot of "might makes right" to it.

Essentially this ship is being held hostage for ransom and there's not a lot anyone can do about it since it's trapped inside an Egyptian waterway. If it happened in international waters then the insurers could send a team to steal the ship back (yep, they have folks that do this), but being still inside Egypt they can't really do that.

I hope things these sailors can find a way out. Right now they're essentially trapped in a giant pissing contest between Egypt and Evergreen. Likely Egypt was as much or more at fault for the incident since their pilot was on board at the time and his whole reason for being there is to make sure things like this don't happen.

When the FIRST sentence is WRONG, the article is worthless.

Evergreen is a Taiwanese based group of companies, with the shipping line owned by THE HARTFORD.

This article is about as informative as John Kerry.

Declare yourselves pregnant Honduran illegal immigrants looking for hand outs and free stuff and Biden will send Marine One to get you.

He’s only allowed off the ship for two hour intervals to get food and water.

I wonder if the dude ever tried to escape at night, or are these people always watching?

A friend of mine claims that navy seals swarmed the containers and found thousands of dead bodies, trafficked individuals and WMDs. https://m.beforeitsnews.com/politics/2021/04/trafficked-children-bodies-weapons-found-on-evergreen-ship-blocking-suez-canal-3230145.html

Apparently 30,000 containers on board. It takes time to search that many containers.

...the fate of one sailor who has been the lone guardian... has been held since it was freed back in March. He’s only allowed off the ship for two hour intervals to get food and water.

Maybe the 'black community' - a group that condemns white people for NOT freeing them from slavery FAST ENOUGH should get off their pity party and help these 3rd world people captured in hell by the shipping industry. It's a form of slavery and the black community needs to 'give back' to the world that freed them. Your turn black citizens. Show us you can feel sorry for someone other than yourselves...

The sailors should not be held hostage by these disputes.

They should be repatriated to their home country and the expense of that added to what must be paid for the ship to be released.

With all the illegal aliens all over the place worldwide, no one is stuck anywhere.
