But the thing people are forgetting here is that the ship was refloated first. So it was likely moved to a part of the Suez Canal where they have Quay Cranes. Quay Cranes are built to offload those containers. If it was refloated and brought to a part of the Suez Canal where there were Quay Cranes ready and waiting they could off load it very fast. I don't know why everyone is assuming they did it by chopper.
It says right in the article the ship was FREED and then unloaded. I'd assume once they freed it they used the tugboats to pull it to port and used Quay Cranes to unload.
