My first thought (having worked in shipping/receiving for years) is that just ONE ship this size being delayed will cost enormous amounts of money. Just one of those shipping containers could be holding millions of dollars in goods, and how many are on just this one ship?
Now, imagine how many other ships of this size are in limbo as well. Buyers of these goods may have to halt production entirely to wait for these materials to arrive.
This one event could have ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE (and sudden) effects on economies. Every hour that this traffic jam exists could potentially cost jobs, businesses, and lives. Truly staggering
The most interesting part of the article was at the end reading a short historical blurb. Egypt being bought out of its own canal by the British 4-5 years after it was completed. Then trying to nationalize it only to face British/Israeli resistance that was only stopped by US/Soviet intervention.
Makes me wonder just how much the Rothschilds were pocketing during that timeframe.
and with it aground could it be necessary to unload all or majority of containers to increase buoyancy? and could it then be required the containers be inspected as a normal course of transfers? hopeful thinking, but something has got to break soon
Apparently they will need to resort to that if their current efforts of digging and tugboats fail
If tugboats and diggers aren't enough to free the vessel, then they only other option is to starting removing weight - either by dumping fuel or unloading cargo, piece by piece.
quite the dilemma. they must have cranes/booms on the ship so I'd get a smaller length ship in there that won't get stuck to load em onto it if feasible or they may just jettison them over the edge. perhaps attaching floats and tying them off to a cable attached to a strong piece of equipment on shore that can pull em on shore
Okay this might be a retarded question, but how the fuck does this happen? Can't they just turn it back sideways? What is actually preventing it from moving?
It still is not clear exactly how the accident happened - GAC said the ship suffered a 'blackout', meaning it lost power and steering before becoming stuck; but a spokesman for the canal authority said a sandstorm had blocked the captain's view and blown the ship off course before it got jammed and lost power.
Options are therefore limited. Because the boat is wider than the canal itself, it has to come out the exact way it went in. Except that both ends are out of the water, meaning it has no steering.
Look at the username of the lady who posted about this on Instagram... fallenhearts17. How many coincidences until... you know the rest.
You should see the tugboats "helping" out...

Weird - in the article it says the ship's name is 'Ever Given'...
Thanks for the clarification ?

What’s in the containers?
trafficked children perhaps? now wouldn't that be eye opening!

shit show
That’s what I was thinking
I was thinking another false flag.
Very disruptive and it probably has the whole region captivated.

Ah, cheers
Or, was this done on purpose to create a crisis?
That is certainly a possibility
It's REVERSE -- move the stick shift all the way to the right and down.......full gas.......
That video doesn't show shit.
