Last night these vessels spent the night with the EVER GIVEN, then continued their journies:
JOLLY QUARZO call sign ICQQ , ro/ro cargo
(Now heading toward Israel)
LADY HAYAT superyacht owned by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz
STOLT ALM & SC MERCURY , both chemical/oil tankers
APIS & ABEER K , both livestock carriers
STEPHEN WALLACE DICK , has a hospital with a capacity of 52
These vessels departed south.
VERTIGO superyacht , owned by Rupert Murdoch
FLYING FOX superyacht , owned by Jeff Bezos
CAPE SEAGULL & SIVOTA both bulk carriers
STI GALLANTRY & CLEAR STARS both crude oil carrier
LIBERTY vehicle carrier
INDUSTRIAL CRESCENT general cargo
SULPHUR GUARDIAN chemical tanker
WUCHANG bulk carrier
STOLT MERCURY tanker
These vessels left together to the north and are still travelling in a convoy. Most have turned off their transponders.
Yes, it happens every day. The canal is one way in many places so they all meet in the Great Bitter Lake and wait until it is their turn to continue. The Ever Given has not moved since it arrived there. It has had some very interesting vistors though.
I've seen that, but there are vessels sailing on by in convoy whilst these others are anchored up. If the channel was open for northbound traffic, why aren't these vessels under way?
I certainly agree with that, but beyond that I think we all need to be preparing ourselves for what comes next, assuming the results we hope for are realised.
There is going to be a lot of fallout and confused people and we will be the calm in the eye of the storm, the resolute ones that others turn to when all else fails them.
I'm spending most of my time getting my head around that, especially with regards to family who have ever so kindly treated me like an escaped mental patient to the point where I cannot discuss any of this with them.
They don't see that their fear has made me shut down for their sakes, and I'm trying to stay alert and active, for their sakes :)
Still, I've had a cassandra complex my whole life :)
In long beach last two days the evergreen trucks on freeway 710 has exploded. Just driving there 2 days ago saw about 12. And yesterday saw at least 22 trucks on my coming and going trip. The trucks started having at least half using shorter truck beds and some using different colored truck cans. ..switching up their transportation style a little. Most trucks leaving long beach.

Excellent info, thanks.

Just seems odd.
The thought had occurred, everything is multiplayered these days (accidental typo there that seemed appropriate :) )
BTW I'm not ignoring your other msg, I'm still thinking and I have limited capacity ;)

The name of the first ship is telling. "Clara insignia" -> "Clear sign" insignia is a military sign or marker!
Probably there to move the unloaded cargo of the Ever Given
That was my first thought too. We need many eyes on this throughout the day to see how it develops
They're just talking selfies
Looks like Long Beach every day.
Hmmm. How do we know what's 'usual'? It does look as though they are waiting (at a healthy distance)

That was my question, how do you unload a super ship, some giant ass sea crane?
Then you need to move all the containers onto other ships while you hunt for the container with people on it? Is that the idea here?
I think Bulk carriers have their own cranes onboard - at least some of the pictures I've looked at seem that way
