I dunno. Find an ingenious way to float it out?
Offload the cargo and call up some dredges to dig it out until it floats up?
Our fleet passed through the Suez on the way to and from the Indian Ocean on a Persian Gulf deployment. It can be very narrow at points. I was very surprised to see how our carrier could squeeze its way through. It’s amazing this doesn’t happen more often.
There’s a previous posting here in FR which I did not link but its here that claims it was the Panama Canal.
Well, then it's no longer blocking the canal?
Can other ships now get through?
Can't the writer report the REAL news about this, instead of disaster porn?
This matters a lot as oil speculators are already using this to drive up the cost per barrel.
Evergreen Marine is a Chinese (Taiwanese) company.
And when the Chinese Communists block the shipping routes to the US by blocking off the West Philippines Sea, I guess Asia would be cut off from the US.
Or the loooooooong trip around the Horn of Africa would be possible...
But the Communist Chinese likewise have started with military bases and patrols in the Indian Ocean as well.
Must have been the same wind that tripped up Biden.
Good thing we’re no longer dependent on foreign oil!
Oh, wait...
The name on the side of the ship clearly says Evergreen.
In one off the other topics about this, the size of this self-propelled barge was given as 400 meters length, 56 meters wide. That’s big enough to build a suburban cul-de-sac as long as one doesn’t go hogwild with the size of the yards. :^)
Egyptian guide: which is port and which is starboard?
Captain: steer the ship straight!!
Egyptian guide makes a hard right.
Captain: NOW you know which way is starboard!
ALL being orchestrated!!
As I posted earlier, this is what happens “when the ship hits the sand”.
The photo of the tractor-shovel and the ship reminds me of “the flea and the elephant” image.
If and when it is possible weather-wise, inch a number of like-sized ships in a row near enough to the stuck ship specifically to hook up to it and daisy chain the free ships together and reverse engines using the combined force of all of the ships in unison to attempt to dislodge the stuck ship. Or back them into position retaining the option to get underway using as much forward power as is necessary.
