Probably used Indian software developers, failed to test it, so results are not very surprising.
“Grounded ‘Mega Ship’ Blocking Suez Canal in Both Directions”

An ultra-large containership is aground and blocking ship traffic in the Suez Canal.
AIS data shows the MV Ever Given is stuck sideways towards the south end of the canal near Said, Egypt, preventing ships from passing in either direction. Several tugs have been on scene for several hours working to dislodge the ship.
Shipping agent GAC reports that the grounding occurred at 7:40 a.m. local time on Tuesday (March 23) at kilometer 151 after the vessel suffered a black out while transiting.
It seems the Ever Given had just begun its transit of the waterway as part of a northbound convoy when the incident occurred.
“The 199,489 GT ship was fifth in the northbound convoy. None of the vessels before it were affected, but the 15 behind it were detained at anchorages waiting for the Canal to be cleared. The southbound convoy was also blocked,” GAC reported.
At 400-meters-long and a little over 20,000 TEU capacity, the Panama-registered MV Ever Given is among the largest of so-called “mega ships”, aka ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs), currently in operation.
I thought they used tugs to keep ships centered in the narrow channels?
Thus, plenty of tugs close by.
Anyway, that is the impression I have from History Channel documentaries.
Start of a terrorist attack?
A trial run to test reaction times?
Wonder if China is involved somehow?

That’s a big ‘un. Obama said it ran aground due to Disaffection, Racism and Misogyny.
Covid vaccines have been tested even less.
The captain might as well brush up on his camel herding skills.
That’s a better excuse than the wind making it run aground. After all, the wind made joe biden run aground.
So much for today’s $4 price dump in oil.

And my plastic crap from china will be late./s
It was the wind from his derriere.
It was a three-Biden wind, so they have an excuse...
maybe just an engineering casualty which ended in loss of steering control
Did they think to unload some of the cargo?
John, you’ve failed the parallel parking portion of your drivers exam.
And my plastic crap from china will be late.
The Suez canal is in Egypt.
If they're sending chinese products to the U.S. via the Suez canal they're sending it the long way around the planet.
Panama?
