it may not be that easy. look at the waterline on the ships side... the painted red portion is elevated far up out of the water on the bow side. there is a lot of ship resting on/into that bank...

couple that with the "stucktion" of being wedged in there like that... like when you step in deep mud and it'll pull your boot right off your foot.

this is even more of a problem because it's abrasive sand.

they are going to have to vibrate the ship and the sand to hydrolyze the sand and water into an emulsion to break those forces.

like when you see guys pouring cement walls inside forms... they have those vibrating tools on the end of a hose they can submerge down into the wet concrete to get everything in a liquid state to allow trapped air to work it's way to the surface.

i mean i don't have a fucking clue on the specific situation or factors, i'm not there, all i have to go by is how far out of the water that bow is and a rough understanding of how heavy that ship is.

it's one of the largest of it's kind ever built... it's completely maxed out to the size of the worlds shipping canals.

we are talking a lot of weight here, even without the loaded containers.

they will likely have to resort to using a boom dredge to suck all the sand away from the bow as the ship presses down on the bank... they will have to "undermine" it (dangerous job)... and who knows how far back that thing is high centered... whoever did this set it to "ramming speed" before he veered into the bank... it's wedged in there real fuckin good.
