No intent at malice just poking fun at the ingenuity of good ole boys from the country, I'm one of them. I was thinking more along the lines of offloading conainers at the bow until it drafts less. A ship with cranes to offload cargo or something. Then I read that the ship can hold 20000 containers, even if you could offload one every 5 minutes it would take an eternity.
It would be a weight and height issue for the crane. Container ships are usually unloaded at a port with installed overhead cranes that can take the weight and have mechanical advantage with the high fretboard. Tge sides of that vessel are probably 30 to 50 above the waterline. A normal or floating crane may not handle it

CH 53 helicopters.
Those would work. Would just have to wait for orders to assist, and whatever the travel time is to get them there
