Just barely breaks the top ten in size.
The largest is the HMM Algeciras @ 24,000 (23,964) TEU.

I don't know ship from shinola, but just tie massive cables fore and aft and tug with two giant ground-based bulldozers on the east and west banks, one pulling north and one pulling south, to unwedge her. You'd free her up in no time, right?
Then string the captain up by his tender jolly rogers from the yard arms as a lesson to other swabbies not to drink and sail in the Suez Canal! (Sorry if I mixed up any metaphors.)

Going thru the Suez Canal was one of my life’s HIGHLIGHTS! It’s just SAND on both sides and about every mile there is an army outpost!
