I feel like this was part of the plan, given the name of the boat and the call sign. It feels like Evergreen was suppose to get stuck and hold up all transportation flow for the next two weeks while operations are being carried out. I just can’t imagine they couldn’t get that boat unstuck in one day if they really wanted too.
Thoughts?
Does anyone know if this has happen before?
This article says no and has some other tidbits, like wind gusts of 30 mph and 2 days to unstuck. And this boat had another crash not long ago, blamed on wind. https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2021-03-23/massive-cargo-ship-turns-sideways-blocks-egypts-suez-canal
Sorry about MSN-- this has more about the unsticking effort and impact on commerce, which is already shaking the oil market. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/suez-canal-still-blocked-as-diggers-and-tugs-cant-budge-ship/ar-BB1eUym8?ocid=uxbndlbing
