Egypt's President loses patience and says the boat must be unloaded if this fails

Apples and oranges.

[Nachoman]

Fly a bunch of BLMers there and tell them they can keep whatever they can carry off the ship. The ship will be empty in a week.

[Sacajaweau]

The Suez is a shortcut.

Maybe faster to build a by pass.

Or....Blow the damn ship up or pull it down.

[Organic Panic]

Easy as that. I wjll check my shed for some steel plates the size of a canal.

[DoodleBob]

I read that, too, and immediately though of the great one.

[moviefan8]

Does it have EZ Pass so it can just charge the account?

Are higher rates charged during rush hour?

[Dogbert41]

“How long would it take to get THAT massive equipment ON SITE???

How long, then, to dig your new canal?

Hmmmm?”

I’m sure they got one in Gaza somewhere...

[tallyhoe]

I said that earlier!! Unload the cargo! But better yet just unload cargo from bow.. That way the stern with the extra weight will lift the stern and float free!

[null and void]

but it is unlikely unless politics gets involved and stupid decisions are made

So you're saying it's certain?

bttt

Problem with unloading it is, there's probably no crane in Egypt that can do it and/or could be moved to the remote rural location where the ship ran aground. Captions, some on-site wind noise etc, otherwise no sound:

Suez Canal: Ever Given 'partially refloated' after blocking trade route for six days

[SauronOfMordor]

In 2015, Egypt added a second lane to the canal, north of the lake, but the ship is stuck in the single lane section.

First, I am far from an expert in these matter

I recall folks inflating round rubber bladder/tubes around their home to protect against rising flood water.

Could they install a temporary dam to raise the water level and float the ship out of trouble??????

[Hot Tabasco]

That’s an engineering marvel created by ThyssenKrupp.......

[Steven Tyler]

You could put it on a barge and float it into position then.....
oh wait, never mind

[SunkenCiv]

That’s a neat online facility, and a real godsend for pirates, shiver me timbers!

[snip] Suez Canal Authority (SCA)... said the stern of the hulking cargo ship was now positioned about 335 feet from the bank of the canal, whereas it had previously been stuck only about 15 feet from the bank. [/snip]

[SunkenCiv]

It is apparently not out of the canal:

The vessel was floated at 4:30 this morning Egypt time
